FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
POLITICS A FACTOR.
Influence of Ohio Primaries Felt in
 Stock Market.


 New York, May 22.-Regar6less of recent statements to the contrary, it is quite evident from the course of opera tions on the stock exchange that Wall street will not wholly ignore political conditions. The influence of that fac tor obtruded itself today in no uncer- tain manner, and is likely so cOmpe- tent observers believe, to make for greater conservatism and caution dur ing the next few weeks. In the after noon the market became dull and mar row, with some recovery from the lowest level but the business of that period was of the usual professional character and failed to make any marked impression other than that brought about by covering short con tracts.
 Conditions in the steel and iron trade show further improvement according to trade authorities. Many of the larger manufacturers are working at 95 per cent of capacity and orders now booked are expected to supply the basis of operations well into the fall months. Some plants are running behind in orders for steel plates and it Is regarded as significant that price advances are meeting with less oppo- sition. A rise of $2 per ton in steel tubes was announced. Some of the leading railroads, including the Harri- man system, have placed flair orders for rails, with a sprinl1ling of contracts for new equipment. The movement Of iron ore on the Great Lakes promised to be unusually large this month.
 There are indications that Germany is likely to renew borrowing money here preliminary to that country's midyear requirement. Some of Berlin's obligations here have been reduced in the past few weeks, and if terms and domestic conditions warrant our bank CTS may extend German credits to very considerable extent before the end of the month. International bankers will do nothing, however, to encourage a revival of the recent industrial spec uation in Germany. Money was in reduced supply here today because of the prospective foreign demand, but time rates were unchanged. June dis burseinent for interest and dividend payments are calculated at about seS,- Oe0.G00, compared with 93,000, 900 for the corresponding period last year.

TRIANGULAR REGATTA.
Cornell, Harvard and Princeton Var sity Flights Meet Today on Charles.

Cambridge, Mass. May 2z.-A tri- angular rowing race between Cornell, Princeton and Harvard varsity eight pared crews will take place tomorrow afternoon on the Charles River basin, over a course of about one and seven eighths miles.
 Cornell, with an almost veteran crew, has not been beaten by Harvard in their annual clashes for many years. Princeton rowed second to Cornell on Lake Carnegie last year, when both de- feated Yale. but it is long since the Orange and Black matched oars with the Crimson. Princeton comes here this season after an interesting con- test with Columbia and Pennsylvania, which Columbia won, while Pennsyl- vania was a poor third. Neither Cor nell nor Harvard has been tested this year in a racing tryout.
 What little betting prevailed tonight made Cornell the favorite with Har- ward second over Princeton by a slight margin

Norwich People Should Not Neglect
 Their Kidneys.

No kidney ailment is unimportant Don't overlook the slightest backache or urinary irregularity Nature may be warning you of approaching dropsy, or fatal Bright's disease.

DOINCS IN THE AUTO WORLD
Fine Weather Brings Out Many Cars-CharIes H. Peetts Record of 100000 Miles Behind the Wheel-Long Stretch of Good Road an Advertisement For State-Au- tomobiIe Routes on Business Cards

tee of the state automobile association is preparing three measures to be in- troduced at the next session of it's leg islatOrs First, there is a provision for state highway commission, and it follows as a natural sequence that there must be state aid in construc- tion and maintenance. Another law will be one permitting the use of con- victs on the roads, a plan followed most successfully primarily in the south, though also being adopted quite generally in the west. Even New Jer- sey's legislature adopted a law per hitting the use of convicts in road building. The particular reason why the Nebraskans are starting thus early is because they intend to consult with legislative candidates, and will only support those who believe in up to date highways laws.

The real opening of the automobile season of 1912 was ushered in on Sun day, when a steady wh1rl of pleasure cars rolled over the roads in this sec ton. There was an amazing number of new cars out, indicating how heavy the auto traffic is to be this year.
 Landlord Stephen D. Horton of the Attawaugan hotel, Danielson, has con- ceived a novel idea for aiding the auto tourists that make stops at his house. He is using the reverse side of his business cards to reproduce route maps showing the best roads for tour iets to use between Norwich and Wor- cester, via DanielsOn, DanielsOn to Providence, and DanieEson to Hartford.
 Charles H. PeIlett of Danielson has made some record as the driver of au- tomobiles. He said Tuesday that in the nine years that he has been sit ting behind the wheels of the fifteen different makes of cars that he has owned and driven during that period he has ridden 200,00 miles-eight times around the world! Last season he added more than 25,O00 miles to the above total and this year will probably do close to 90, 1000 more. MT. Pellett was the third man in this town to own a machine. c. P.

A Ionq stretch of improved road

A long stretch of improved road Is one of the best advertisements state can have It attracts a class of tourists who are able and willing to pay for entertainment. It brings in- vestors who are looking for adval- tageous locations. It includes agrioul- tural investigation and consequent lrn- migration and investment not only along the line of the road. but in other accessible sections. It changes, by the sheer force of publicity, backward lo- ealities into progressive ones. en- hanees values and brings into general notice resources which had only been known lneally; or, if known, not ap- pPeeiatsd.
