Wall Street Takes Holiday
to Allow Market to
Adjust Self.
BY ELMER C. WALLER
limited Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-America's
army of small stock market traders
saw their profits, run up in the
greatest bull market Of history,
dwindle by about three billion dol
lars this week as result of the fed
eraI reserve boards ultimatum on
the credit situation.
After having SCARED to a new rec
ord high for all time at $322.GS on
Tuesday, when Wall street was con-
f1dent the market would go on up
ward indefinitely, the market ran
into snag and the industrial aver
age broke to $301.53 at the close Fri
day, a loss of $2053.
Today was made a holiday. Stock
Exchange officials gave as the reason
the influenza epidemic among
brokerage Office workers. Traders
read between the lines and saw an
intent to give the market a chance
to readjust itself by the great healer,
time.
AS the market community looked
backward, it saw one Of the most
hectic weeks in exchange history,
reminiscent of the catastrophe of
last December, when the average
sank 1885 in three days and the
market broke wide open.

SMALL STOCK TRADERS
SEE PROFITS DWINDLE
THREE BILLION DOLLARS

Reasons for the abrupt drop this
week entirely were in the field Of
credit. First of all, the federal re-
serve announced it would take
drastic measures to curtail broker
age loans by member banks.
Secondly, the London bank raised
its rediscount rate to 51a per cent.
Third, the New York bank is to
meet Monday, probably to discuss
it's rediscount rate.
The fourth reason is a. conse-
quence of the first, namely a rise
to per cent in call money rates,
and indications of still firmer
money, if member banks obey the
reserve edict.
Before London's action gold was
flowing rapidly to New York from
England. Several New York banks
had made purchases, totaling S15,-
100000, and more was soon to come.
Sterling held at a point where these
shipments were profitable, but when
the London rate went up sterling
went with it, reaching new high
for the year and cutting off that
source of market credit.
The situation as it now stands is
not serious. At this time Of the
year, the federal reserve can expert
ment without running the risk OF
harming business.
Business, incidentally. is holding
up in excellent fashion, according
to trade reports.
Steel is in better demand; auto
mobile production set record in
January: railroads are carrying
more freight than a year ago.

approximately 110 since riots broke
out between Pathans and Hindus
last Sunday. More than 600 per-
sons have been wounded or injured.
Thirty persons were killed in mob
fighting Friday night when police
were forced to fire into the crowds.
More than 100 were wounded.
Other casualties were reported
from several districts, but there had
been no official check on the num-
ber.
Fighting has been general
throughout the native quarter since
Hindu mill workers attacked Path

Pathans have struck back at the
Hindus by a series of murders in
outlying and isolated sections. Stab

streets.
In the notoriously lawless Ma

dragged a Hindu passerby into a

IN STORE FIRE
Water Causes $4,000
Damage.

A fire at Stewart building, % West
Maryland street, Tuesday night, re-
suited in damage variously esti-
mated from $4,000 to $4,000, it was
learned today.
the fire department gave out no
report on the fire and police who
answered an alarm to the building
reported they found only a broken
water pipe.
The blaze started on the third
floor rooms of the Aleiter Catholic
Supply Company, which also occu-
pies the first floor and other parts
of the building. The flames were
extinguished by the sprinkler sys-
tenn and most of the damage was
caused by water.
Apparently the blaze started from
defective wiring and there was no
evidence of incendiary origin, Will
liam Aleiter, supply company head,
said.
The water also seeped through
and caused damage estimated at
$4,000 to the engraving department
of the Burford Printing Company
on the second floor.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. Com
plete calm had settled over the soul
of Jose Leon de Toral today as he
prepared for the firing squad that at
noon would bring him death for the
assassination of General Alvaro
Obregon, president-elect of Mexico.
The slender, youthful cartoonist
had spent the night in prayer and
had expressed anxiety as to the fate
of his wife and newborn son
Miguel Humberto-whom he was al
lowed to see Friday for the first time.
Toral asked that he be allowed to
shave just before the execution.
Federal prison officials have refused
to allow razor in his cell for sew

The prison prado where Toral
will face the muzzles of the rifles
of the firing squad is named after

five shots from his revolver last
summer-Alvaro Obregon.

Roads Are Cleared for 63-
Mile Trip in Luxurious
Ambulance.
H. L. PERCY


United Press STAFF Correspondent
BOGNOR, Sussex, England, Feb.
9.-The King of England, wan
shadow of himself, was brought
here today to be nurSed back to
vigor and strength.
The king was lifted carefully
fro mthe luxurious ambulance which
had brough him the Sixty-three
miles from London over roads
cleared of ali traffic and carried into
Craigwell house, where the queen
waited with smile to receive him.
Because Of the care with which
he was handled, it was understood
that the king stood the journey
well. He arrived at 1:24 p. m, just
thirty minutes after the queen, who
sped ahead in another car.
A strange procession came down
the road from London to the Sus-
sex coast. First was a police auto
mobile equipped with wireless,
which made sure that no obstruction
was in the road and kept stations
ahead advised of the kings progress,
so that traffic was cleared well in
advance.
Great Care Is Taken
Four other cars were behind it.
One AN ambulance built like a
chief nurse, Miss Purdie, sat be-
side him. The stretcher wes bal
anced on the most ingenious device
of springs and bearings that me-
chanical genius could contrive, to
KEEP the patient comfortable.
Another car carried the kings
doctors, Lord Dawson of Penn and
Sir Stanley Hewett, who have been
with him almost constantly since
his illness began last Nov. 81. An
other nurse was with the doctors.
Court officials were in another car
and spare ambulance carried at
tendantS.
The trip took a little less than
three hours. 1t was followed with
eagerness by the British public,
which for more than two months
has been in distress and anxiety
over the kings condition.
Women Wept and even the eyes
of some of the men were wet when
the slight, emaciated figure of the
king was brought from Bucking-
ham Palace in London and George
V. Stoutly tried to reSsure his sub
jects.
Waves to Crowd.
The grey-bearded head raised
slightly and a feeble hand waved
to the crowd. The men took off
their hats and the crowd of 1000
broke into joyful shouting.
Irishmen, here for today's Anglo
Irish Rugby match, joined in the
tribute.
The tribute was renewed all
along the route. At Aldwick cross
roads, a cheering crowd waved
Union Jacks, and the king, propped
up by pillows. smiled and waved to
them through the window of the
car, the shades of which were
partly raised.
1t is calculated that the kings
illness already must have cost him
hundreds of thousands of dollars,
because he has been visited more
than one hundred and fifty times
by his physicians, who normally
charge fifty guineas (more than
$3.50 a visit.
