New York, April 14.-Holidays and
bad news combined were circumstanc-
es which the stock market resisted
with difhculty. The London stock
market was closed from Friday until
Tuesday. The local Exchange was
only closed for Good FRIDAY, but the
large number of absentees during
Easter naturally everted q restrain.

market was also further chilled by
unexpected developments. A fresh
shock came In the arbitrary order for
reduction in the Canadian Pacific
rates. This caused a break 81 over I
points In that stock and mad an un.

Another shock came via Mexico, and
was due to the harsh treatment of
Spaniards by the revolutionists,
which raised the possibility. of fric.
lion between the united States and
Spain or other foreign governments
under similar conditions. There was
one more unfay0rable development.
and that was the extreme dullness Of
