Inactive Stocks Advanced.

Clearly one OF the features Of the
week has been the advance in stocks on
the list that may be called inactive, in
that they have not attracted much at
tendon. The stocks that have been
badly in the dumps and have not
moved up in comparison with the rest
of the list They were taken under the
wing Of the manipulators during the
week and given a good advance.
The good showing Of the Steel Cor
9oration, made public in the closing
cay of last week. resulted in better
strength IN all of the steel and iron
stocks, this being plainly evidenced in
the support that they received later.
Big Steel itself turned par again, and
the others made good gains. Shorts
were whipsawed in the market time and
again, not knowing what to do, so COM
piete was the manipulation of the big
financial interests.

proves Slowly.

NEW YORK. March 2S.-During The
past week the volume Of business has
been very large. At the same time the
market was very irregular, prices NOV
ing up or down without apparent rhyme
or reason. At the opening the feeling
was one Of confidence. inspired by the
belief that the message extracted from
the President of the United States would
be of a niilder tone than sn.- of its pre-
decessors. wall Street seemed 70 know
the tenor of the message the first day
% the week, and when it was published
on Wednesday there was no surprise
as a result.
The advance continued Monday and
Tuesday with occasional reactions, and
more or less active trading. Wednesday
the market opened rather weak. The
message was sent TO Congress. It
proved as tame an affair as the Street
had anticipated. and caused no especial
comment. save a turn for the worse, as
traders who had apparently been in
formed as to the contents of the docu-
ment started in to take profits, In con-
formity with the general habits OF the
trading element.
This was continued up to the last
hour, when the bulls got under the mar
ket and by main strength gave it a
good boost.

buildings and places.
He then visits Egypt, arriving at Cairo,

SETH GETS OUT OF PRIMARY FIGHT.
Senator Wthdraws in Favor Of J. Frank Turner
For Congress.


Gen. Joseph B. Seth. president Of the
State Senate, has withdrawn from the
Congressional primary contest in Talbot
county and asked his friends to throw
their support to J. Frank Turner against
]. Harry Covington. General Seth has
issued the following signed statement:
81 shall not enter the primaries with a
delegation, nor will I do other than assist
Mr.. Turner'S candidacy before the conven-
ton. I shall give my earnest support to
the ticket he selects in the primaries and
shall ask my political and personal friends
to vote this ticket if they wish to favor
me-"
This move on the part of General Seth
is supposed to have been made in order
to insure the defeat Of Covington in the
hottest primary fight that has stirred
Talbot county in many years. Covington
was making ground in the three cornered
contest. A poll Of the voters showed him
to be in the lead The retirement of GeH
eral Seth from the fight was in order to
bring about his defeat by uniting the Seth
and Turner factions. Covington's friends
do not believe the move q wise one. With
Gen. Seth out of the fight Coyington will
they say, get his share Of. the votes that
would have been cast fer the President OF
the State Senats, thereby depriving Turner
of any advantage he might hope to gain
by General Seth's withdrawal. Baltimore
