FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
STOCK PRICES sWAYED.
Railway Shares Were Under Restraint
in the Closing Hours.

New York, March 29-Special stocks
were pushed back and forth during
most of today's professional market,
while Wall Street that is, the trading
discussion regarding European and
Mexican affairs. Specifically at
least, there were no new develop
ments in these quarters, but the lack
of definite advices and the studious
abstentfon Of public interest were in
themselves reterrena factors.
Railway shares were under obvious
restraint, especially in the latter part
of the day, when Reading, Union Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and New York
Central recorded declines OF one to
almost two points. Heaviness of
this group was attributed to two dis
tinct reasons-signs of increasing ten

indications of further foreign Iifuid-
alton.
Almost one third of the days turn

lative issues as Crucible Steel Mer-

Coppers were irregularly higher in
the forenoon, their strength and activ-
tty being associated with unconfirmed
reports of the placing of additional
large orders for export. Other metals
were nominally higher but yielded to
moderate pressure.

LEADS IN MAKING
OF WITCH HAZEL.
State Takes Honors in OutPut-Some
Interesting Facts Regarding the In
dustry.

When the barber dabs a few drops
OF witch hazel on a freshly and more
or less smoothly shaver face, the GUS
toner does not often turn his thoughts
to what witch hazel IL or where and
how IT is produced. The production of
witch haZel-that is, the fluid which
is not the witch hazel Of the low and
swamp woods but the witch hazel of
commerce-amounts to $4,000 barrels
or about 100000 quarts n year. and
the greater part of that volume is pro-
duced in eastern Middlesex county,
Connecticut. In New York state a
little witch hazel is distilled. and New
Hampshire and Massachusetts makes
a small amount. The home of the
witch hazel industry is along the lower
parts Of the Connecticut river and
westward along the shore of Long
Island sound.
MiddleseX county might properly be
called the birthplace Of the CONNER
cial witch hazel distilling industry. An
authority on the history of this subject
says: THE Rev. Thomas Dickinson

tonight. Football. with receipts oi
1920, 499 and expenses of $35, 66S. as
usual, contributed largely to the sup
port of all other teams except base
ball, which showed a reduced profit Of
$3,46S. The receipts from football
jumped $4,000 as compared with the
previous year, an increase accounted
for largely by the opening of the Yale
Bowl.
Cash on hand at the close of the rs
cal year amounted to $34, $50. as COM
pared with $96,555 the previous year.
Treasurer Moore explained the de-
crease as principally due to the fact
that final payment was made on the
athletic associations loan on the sta
dunn.
The lack of a great indoor field. a
swimming tank and a skating rink are
handicaps in the winter months, ac-
cording to the report. The treasurer
suggested the idea of building a rink
in Cambridge as worthy OF serious
consideration.

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT
TENER OF NATIONAL LEAGUE
Satisfied Nothing Was Done in Viola
ton of Antitrust Laws.

New York, March 9.-President Ten
er of the National League, when in
formed of the suit filed in Philadelphia
today by the Baltimore Federal League
baseball club, said:
organized baseball conducted it's
negotiations looking TO an adjustment
of baseball conditions. not with the
Baltimore club, any individual club or
person representing a single club or
interest, but rather with the Federal
League as an organization. 1t was
our understanding that the Federal
League was acting for all its compo-
nent clubs and had proper authority
to so act in everything that was done
toward a settlement of all conditions.
In efecting an adjustment of baseball
conditions We are satisfied we did
nothing inconsistent with the Sherman
antitrust act or Clayton act There
fore, we fail to see where We are la
bic as set forth in the suit of the Bal

Murphy's fielding was always his

wild pitch he surely has some tall old

From the fact that two other man

Jewett city-TaftviIIe Series.

Not to give Taftville the least chance
of crawling out of their game in Jew
EFT City tonight, Manager Dona Bal

piled with Manager Roy's wish that a

handled all of Mystics games this sea-

teams. Mr.. Denehey is considered one
of the fafrest and best officials in this

excuse whatever now.

hour wish of Manager Roy's was but
an excuse for not playing as the re-
fereeing in TaftVille was not to be
compared with that in Jewett City on
Thursday last, the fact being mention
ed even in Taftville by supporters of
the Taftville five. In demanding this,
