Stock Market Quiet
Prices Unchanged

New York, Mar 12.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Most of the news which Wall street
had before it today was of nature
tending further to clarity both the do
nestle and international situations. The
removal of the uncertainties with which
securities financial and commercial cir
eles have had to contend in recent
months had distinctiyely bulfsh In
fluence.
If the arming Of American merchant
men is to be received by Germany as
casus belh, then the die is cast with the
statement issued today by the state de-
partment.
The stock market does not as yet,
however, reflect fully this more cheer
ing state of affairs. The public has been
so long away from the trading, except
in the strictly investment sense, that it
has become timid from habit, SO TO
speak.
Today's trading was almost wholly
professional The industrial list was
largely neglected. What activity there
was appeared to be of realizing ma
ture, and prices were soft in conse-
quence. The feature was, of course, the
railroad department, where advances
ranged from one to two points or more.
The impulse behind this movement was
the attitude of labor in the railroad sit
uation with the assurance that no mat
ter what happens there will be no rail-
road strike while the present crisis lasts.
The general list was weak and trading
was quiet in the afternoon.

BROWNS LICENSE
WILL Be REVOKED
viii Lose Hold On Madison
Square Garden, Les Darcy
the Cause
By H. c. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, March l2.-Grant Hugh
Brown S license to conduct boxing con
tests viii be revoked somewhere A.
round noon today, and Charlie White
and Joe yelling viii not entertain the
fistie public of New York tonight in
Madison Square Garden.
In other words, Grant Hugh Brown
has learned another little angle of the
fight game; he's learning every day
and if indications have anything to do
with it, he appears to just dote on a
few punches in the poeketbook. The
trouble is just as outlined a few days
ago by the United Press. Something
has happened to the plans of Paris
Singer to buy the Garden. 1t is very
jrobable, in fact that the remaining
part of the sum to be paid for the en-
closure never will find its way out Of
Singers bank account and the $780,
900 already paid down will be allowed
to go by default.
Brown believes he will be able to
show the boxing commission lease
which will entitle him to a new license
to conduct boxing, but if he can't its
hard to say how he is going to stage a
scrap between Darcy and some one, in
junction or no injunction. Brown is
considerably wrought up over the af
fair. He charges that adverse publicity
has brought ruin to his plans and de
elares the boxing commission s decis
ion is part of Fred Wenckes plan to
hold on to his job as commissioner.
