In Stocks Yesterday was on LARGE
Scale Than For Some Time
Market Irregular.

New Yo"k, March 10 - Selling or
the stock market to realize profits
was on more libereal scale today
than yesterday, and the resulting re
action in prices was more pronounced
The growing dullness of operations as
ing level indicated the strength OF
holders and their unwillingness tc
forego their profits.
The rise in prices from the low
points of last week, during the dull
period of which accumulation was eff
fected from which the rise started
has reached from to 10 points At
extreme occasional advances in to
days early trading.
Sub-treasury figures, showing q
cash net gain for the days operations
of $7,23S 600, reflected the turning
over Of government deposits by bank.
in response to the call of the secretary
of the treasury.

couraging strength that was begin

have caused expectation that early an
n0uncements might be forthcoming OF
intended plans of financing by large
corporations. The element in specula-
ton which views the rise in prices at
this time with distrust, urges, as one
ground of suspicion. that the rise Is
fostered by manipulation in order to
aid these intended fotations. While
the days final prices show some con
siderable declines, the movement
throughout was exceedingly iregu-
lar.

HOW TO STOP A NoeE-BLEep.
Good Idea, However, Not to Select
One Who Bears Yea a Grudse.

When the bellisay responded to tie
signal he found the elderly travelling
man standing in the center Of the
room holding a handkerchief to his
nose, from which the blood was
ooZing.
Give me a slap alongside of the
head, good and hard said the elderly
man, turning his face toward the boy
and speaking with difficulty.
But, sir, don't know what you
mean, sir stammered the boy, back
ing toward the door.
Don't stop to talk" sputtered the
travelling man. Slap me, | tell you, )"
again holding his head forward. The
boy hesitated for a moment, then
timidly slapped the mans face.
Harder" commanded the smitten
one. The boy hesitated no longer, but
with his open palm dealt the man a
vigorous blow.
That's better" grunted the CORY
one as he removed the handkerchief
and after a test found the bleeding
had stopped, I'm subject to these at
tacks of nose bleed" he explained to
the astonished youth. handing him a
tip. Il have tried all sorts of RENE
dies, but nothing acts more promptly
than a blow alongside the head. The
shock seems to paralyze the rupturcd
blood vessels and they quit work at
once. | got the idea from an old ply

DON'T CONDEMN COINS HASTILY.
Not Necessarily Counterfeit Because
They Won't Ring.

Gold coins which do not ring are
not always colnterfeits, according to
Operative Thomas b. Foster in charge
OF the United States secret service
work for this district. He demonstrate
ed that fact at the police station, and
as a result Aimee Sykes, alias Gera
0'Gera. will be charged with stealing
five dollars in lawful money of the
United States from one William Nc
Clarity.
The woman was arrested by City
Detectives H. c. Adams and F. w.
Clark on complaint by Mccarthy. The
five-dollar gold piece supposed to have
been stolen was found on her and
was held as evidence. Clerk Billy
Kent dropped the gold piece on the
desk at the station and 1t fell like a
piece of lead. There was absolutely
no ring to it.
Operative Foster was called in with
a view of capturing band of coun.
terfeiters.
Just as good as any coin ever
turned out of the mint" said the Sc
cret service man after he had eX-
amined the coin. 1T is very probable
that there is small cavity in this
coin. That happens very often and
gives a great deal of trouble. When
the ingots from which these coins are
made are cast at the mint air bubbles
get into them sometimes. When the
metal is rolled out and the coins
made the bubble sometimes stays
there, and there is no ring to such a
coin. Seattle Post lntelligeneSr,
