SPECTATORS IN
POOL PINCHED
DROP IN CANADIAN PACIFIC
AGlTATES I 0ND0N
Slight Demand for Money in Wall
street-Bears Rushed to Take
Profits in the lrreeu-
lar Market
BY Associated press.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Securities
markets here and i'm Europe were all vo-
lently agitated today and the decline in
American securities forced the average
level of prices witnin measurable distance
OF that touched in the dcmoralizcd selling
on Thursday of last week. Foreign mar
kets were disposed to assign the dom-
nant influence upon the situation to the
condition of the New York stock market.
Inc point on which fears of consequences
from the New York condition converged,
however, was London. This Is owing to
the necessity of providing there for a
fortnightly stock settlement on Monday,
The periodical settlements in that market
are the occasion for making good differ
ences in collateral and other details
caused by the discrepancies since the last
settlement.
The large interest of the London mar
ket in Canadian Pacific accounted for the
slump in that stock today. 1t is believed
also that a stock market pool, which
holds a large block of that stock, was
called upon to take it up today and that
large proportion of the POOLS holding
were thus forced upon the market; THE
stock broke an extreme 1s point and went
far to demoralize the whole list.
The Hill and Hartman stocks also
showed losses of Az to 5% points.
A singular incident of the relapse was
the quoting of lower money rates in Lon
don and Berlin. There was no urgent de-
statement, however, was disappointing
both in showing less than the expected
gain in the cash and less than expected
scaling down of the loan item. An in
crease in loans of upwards of $10.OOO,OOC
by the largest bank alone largely affected
the showing, practically all the other
banks reporting a loan contraction.
Heavy movements of gold were reported
between different centers abroad, suggest
ing scramble among markets there for
the supply. Foreign advices reported an
expectation that New York would take
Mondays arrivals of South African gold
in moved
ward, however, in this market.
The hasty profit-taking by the bears
seemed to be almost wholly responsible
for the Generalization which rallied some
stocks from the lowest and the market
closed irregular.
Total sales of bonds, par value, $1,10O,OOO.

KISS IN CHURCH AND GO
TO JAIL IN CONSEQUENCE
Special Gable to The Herald.

VIENNA, March 2S.-Twenty Ruth
enian peasants belonging to Ispas in
Galicia have been sentenced to various
terms of Imprisonment, from a week
to month, for kissing each other In
church.
A feud had arisen between two
parties in the town and the priesA
preached sermon In which he urged
the peasants to make friends before
they came to church again. They took
him at his word and on the following
Sunday the two hostile parties marched
up the church aisle side by side and
kissed the altar Then they solemnly
shook hands and kissed one another
ON both cheeks in the Polish fashion
to seal the reconciliation.
The kissing scene excited loud laugh
ter among the members OF the congre-
cation, and the priest then prosecuted
the peasants for unseemly conduct in
the church. The court held that a
church is no place for kissing, and
found the peasants guilty. Meanwhile
the row has broken out afresh, with
increased vigoE

POTATOES ARE SCARCE IN THE
MARKET
Delayed Trains viii Land Many
Spuds-Butter and Local Eggs
About Enough to Meet
the Demand

Eastern eggs in carload lots will soon
arrive in Los Angeles. Three carloads
nave already been sold by one broker.
The eggs will go at once into the hands of
local dealers for distribution to the trade.
Some days ago a carload of fresh eastern
eggs was offered I'm the open market at
about 22c a dozen, when local ranch were
jobbing at zoe. There was no sale, of
course but there was no offer, or possi-
bly the eastern stock could have been
had at zoe or less. At present consumers
have to depend entirely on local prOduc-
tion for eggs. Quotations in the jobbing
market remain firm at 22c.
1t was stated Saturday that the excess
supply of potatoes in the market was less
than a dozen carloads and that the mar
ket for sprds is very firm When the de-
layed trains get through 1t is expected
that receipts will be heavy for a few days
Producers in the east dislike to ship spuds
to the coast on account of the great dis
tance, the likelihood of accidents and
damage caused by interrupted traffic.
Receipts of all commodities were light
Saturday, especially butter, eggs and po-
tatoes.
Vegetables, fresh fruits and berries
were plentiful.
Enough Holsters arrived to meet the
demand, while the supply of fish was
large and varied.
