FINANCE FURTHER PROFIT-TAKING AT OUTSET OF THE MARKET Business Falls Away More Than Fifty Per Cent. Compared With Yester day's Early Session, hut the Prices Were Well Held By Associated Press, New York, Jan. 20—(Wall Street) —The swift pace maintained' by yes terday 's market measured further prodit taking at the outset of to day's session, most of the leaders yielding fractional ly, with a loss of 1 1-4 for Canadian Pacific and one point for Bethlehem Steel. The preferred shares of the lat ter company gained 1 3-4, however, in recognition of its increased dividend. Kuniley common descended to a lower price as a result of receivership pro ceedings. The list, stitt'oned perceptible before the end of tho half hour under tho lead of Union Pacific. Business fell away more than fifty per cent, compared with yesterday's early session, but prices were well held in the face of continued realizing. Im portant. issues like Reading, Union Pa cific, St. Paul, Pennsylvania and tlroat Northern sold above their best in tho previous days. Missouri Pacific, which was seeond in activity to Reading, equalled its recent high. Canadian Pa cific more than recovered its initial loss and Bethlehem pfd added to its rise. U. S. Steel was under pressure, also lead ing coppers, but Smelting gained a point. St. Paul convertible 5-s were the feature of the bond group on extensive buying at record prices.

Mr. Coningsby Dawson, the well known English writer, tells the follow ing anecdote of the East Indian prince Sir Pertab Singh: A young English lieutenant had died of cholera in liis palace. The boy was the son of an English friend. When the body had to be carried out to be placed on u gun carriage Sir Pertah Singh went forward to lift it up. Be' fore lie touched it he was stopped by some English officers. They reminded him that, by his religion, were he to toucb the dead he would lose all his caste and perhaps, despite his wealth, never be able to buy it back. They ad vised him to send for the sweepers, who are outcasts. In spite of their protests he picked up the body and carried it down the palace steps to the gun carriage. A gasp went up at the sight. Every one of bis subjects knew what he had done. The next morning, when he rose. 500 Brahman priests were wait ing in the courtyard. He came out, a proud figure, to face them. He knew what they had come for—to make him the lowest thing in India, a man with out caste. He asked them what was their errand, and they told him. They had come to make him of as little ac count as the humblest sweeper in his palace. Sir Pertab Singh laughed. "I be long." he said, "to a higher caste than any of you have ever dreamed of, and you can't take it from me; you're wel come to all the rest.
