TRADING NARROW
AND COLORLESS
Market Moved Within a Circle
Without Starting or Get.
ting Anywhere

New York. Sept. 20.-Trading in
today's stock market was altogether
| cOlorlcss. Yesterdays backsct had a
! decided SOLDERING effect upon speculative
enthusiasm and was likewise an effective
checkmatc on further pool manipula =
| tive tactics. It was virtually case
of moving within circle. as the greatcr
part Of the list lacked any definite
tendency. Some significance. however.
was attached TO the dullncss which de =
velopcd on the declines. indicating the
absence of real selling pressure.
One Of the reasons assigned for the
side tracking of the forward swing was
the conspicuous refusal Of the so called
outsiders and also the banking inter-
csts to follow the speculative lead of
the last ten days. Another contributing
restraining influence possibly could
have been found in the rcconvening Of
Congress tomorrow. The outlook on
the legislative possibilities of the con-
tinued special session Is altogether too
fnggy to warrant the reaching of
definite conclusions. Then again the
strong arm tactics applied by some Of
tho speculative combinations in several
Cf the recent sessions was productive Of
caution and suspicion rather than the
desired enthusiasm.
In so far as direct news was con-
Ccrned there was practically nothing in
the over night events to give much of
an advantage to either Of contcsting
forces. 1t was evident soon after the
opening that if the recent leaders were
compelled to abandon the bull position,
the rcactionary party, on the other
hand. showed no disposition to make q
strong play for bear movement. As
a result the market practically relapsed
into narrow trading position with both
sides awaiting the next move of the
other. This not only produced con-
siderable irrcgularity in price move
ment. but also pronounced contrac-
tion in the volume of dealings.
Professional selling pressure was
again in evidence at the opening, al
though gains outnumbercd losses.
United States Steel, the recent leader,
made a fractional advance, and Bald
Studcbakcr. General Asphalt, Royal
Dutch and Ajax Rubber also were mod
rratcly higher. On the other hand, Sloss
Sheffield and Bethlehem Steels, Sears
Roebuck. Central Leather, Retail
Stores. Food Products, American Sugar
and American International eased frac-
tionally to l point.
Baldwin was the only active stock to
show a fair degre OF steadiness during
the morning. Other favorites, notably
the motors. rubbers, tobaccos, feathers
and chemicals, reacted to 3 points and
Chandler fell Az. United States Steel
moved within fractional limits and rails
were dull and irregular.
The reactions apparently failed to dis
lodge any great amount of stock, neither
were they followed up by what may
be called fresh selling. Little liqui-
dation appeared here and there, but
such selling was of minor proportions.
This seeming resistance created un-
easiness among some of the lesser mem
bers of the bear party, and taking in
of the small short lines brought ir-
regular recoveries before midday.

LOCAL TRADING
REMAINED QUIET
Financial Circles Very Curious
as to Mr.. Mitten's Real
Intent

The local market remained quiet with
little interest displayed in any of the
leading issues. Price movement was
extremely narrow with unimportant
changes. For some of the less active
shares the market was found thin. This
applied also to some Of the more prom
inent stocks, but most all the opera
tions were altogether meaningless.
Announcement made yesterday by
Mr.. Mitten regarding the expiration Of
his contract With the management of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Conn
pany aroused much curiosity as to just
what was his intent. As market tac-
tor it amounted to nothing. as there
was no trading in either =. X. Il. stock
or any of the underlying companies
during the morning.
There was little better market for
I. G.. /. which displayed rather sig
niticant tirmness at 32lH. There seemed
TO be a confident feeling in better in
formed financial circles that the results
of today's primary election would even
tually prove beneficial to the company.
and also promise a speedy settlement of
the gas lease controversy. There was
also quite good deal of interest shown
IN the proposition of one of the under
lying companies Of selling n new issue
of stock to both the employees and con-
Sumers. Such move has been found
very satisfactory by other large utility
companies.
Indicating the thinness of the market

PRINCIPAL STILL DEFIANT
Helen cheesman Appeals From
Transfer In Gloucester

Miss Helen Cheesman, former prin-
cipal of the Gloucester Junior High
School, who defed the board of educa-
tion's order transferring her to the
principalship of the Cumberland Street
School, remained at her home today
and declared she would not accept the
new principalship, regarding the change
as a dcmotion.
Superintendent of Schools Burns,
acting on the refusal, placed Mrs.
Christina Barnard in temporary charge
of the Cumberland Street School, pend
ing action of the board of education,
which will probably meet Monday eve
ming.
Charges of insubordination will be
preferred against Miss Checsman, who
has appealed to John Enright, State
Commissioner of Education, contending

The Gloucester board Monday night will
file an answer to Miss Cheesman's ap-
peal, and Commissioner Enright will
then fix Il date for hearing.

MANS HEART SEWED UP
Pennsylvania Hospital Takes -Four
Stitches After StabbIng

Pennsylvania Hospital surgeons have
performed the unusual operation of
sewing mans heart after he had
been stabbed twice. They assert he has
an excellent chance for recovery un-
less he contracts pneumonia.
Isaac Green, S3+ South street, was
stabbed Saturday with Il large pen
knife in a fight in the neighborhood
of Eighth and Bainbridge streets. When
he reached the hospital he was uncon-
scious and pulseless, physicians say.
-Four stitches were taken in the heart
muscles. In the pcricardium one con-
tinuous stitch was taken, which equalrd
in length eight ordinary single stitches.
Green was on the table twenty minutes
In that time two pints aud n half Of
splinc solution were injected into his
