FINANCIAL REVIEW.

In none of the markets. today was
there any movement that could be said
TO be of very deep Importance.
Stocks fluctauted with considerable
uncertainty but the price changes
meant little except that the profess
sional element was rapidly shifting
bewildered regarding the real drift of
things.
In the commodity markets. the va
riations were small, the main point
being that just as in the case of
stocks, the speculative spirit has cooled
off considerably from what it was a
month ago.
French exchange was higher and
German exchange lower, but in neither
instance was the movement large
enough tc, be significant. The decline
in MARKS from As 10 40. in terms OF
thousandths of cent, may mean tina,

But the price changes were neeligi-

The outstanding fact about the
stock market was that public interest
has. for the time being, completely
waned and the field left to the pro,
fessionals. Outside business conditions
are altogether too favorable to war
rant any large downward movement
especially in view Of the considerable
decline which prices have had from
their winters high points. On the
other hand the violent and artificial
speculation Of three and four weeks
ago disgustd the conservatives while
driving away outside investors and il
will be hard TO re-arouse interest on
the part Of these two elements.

AIR SMUGGLER
BELIEVED HELD
At EAGLE PASS
Capt. Charles Stevens Says
Mexico Aiding in Watch

ONE SHIP GOT AWAY
Find Twelve Bottles of
Mescal in Airplane
Captured Wednesday.

Aroused over the seeming increase
in the number of airplanes engaged
in the smuggling trade between the
United States and Mexico, Collector
of Customs Roy Campbell and Super
visor Of Mounted Inspectors Charles
Stevens, are keeping the Mexican Off
cials in touch with the air-smuggllns
activities, according to Captain Stew
ems who returned TO San Antonio
from Del Rio and laredo. Wednesday
evening. Since the reports have been
circulated that great quantities OF
Mexican gold is being exported from
Mexico. the Mexican officials have
been exceedingly diligent in Selling
planes engaged in the smuggling
trade. =
One of the most active of the al
legged smugglers is believed TO be held
by Mexican authorities following the
seizure of an airplane and ten gallons
Of meScal about eighteen miles across
the border from Eagle Pass, Wednes-
day. An attempt was made TO seize
two airplanes that had. landed near
the coal fields at that place, but one
airplane took the air before the Off
GERS could reach it. The seizure OF
another airplane by the Mexican Off
cials is reported 10 have taken place
across the Rio Grande, opposite Hi
dalgo, several days ago.
One Plane Crashed.
In connection with the seizure Mt
the coal mines near Eagle Pass. two
men are being held by the Mexican
.ff,..,1e 4 fiat ,.nnnrfn1
that they were Germans, but this re-
port has since been denied. One of
the two men held is believed TO have
been one, against whom complaint
was filed following the crash of a
plane near Laredo, last fall. The
complaint was subsequently dismissed
because the main witnesses were in
Mexico and no subpoenas could be
served on them.
Smuggling by airplane is factor
that must be reckoned with. and it

Charles Stevens.

New York, March 2s.-The stock
market started in today with an eff
fort to continue the recovery OF the
two previous days. but when the pro-
fessional element detected STOCKS COM
ing out in quantity and realized that
there was no pressure in the market
TO help along any buying movement,
they abruptly switched TO the other
s.Gr.
There was considerable talk that If
the bull campaign is TO be revived,
il must be under different leadership,
One opinion was that United States
Steel common would lie the new lead
or, the market having shown its dis
inclination TO any longer follow stocks
OF the type of Baldwin Locomotive,
Studebaker. American Can and Cali
fornia Petroleum. All these four were
heavily sold and along with American
Wool and some Of the oils. notably
Cosden. led the market down.
As an instance of the extremely mar
row and professional character of the
trading, Republic Iron and Steel,
which had sold az high as 63 3-S at
the outset, broke on running sales. OF
a small quantity of stock from O. IL
TO 80 5-S. then on only two transac-
tons of hundred shares each jump
ed back TO 81. Selling of the Vir-
Sginia Carolina Chemical issues was
resumed after n brief rally early in
the day and the stocks made new low
records.
Railway shares were borne down
again under selling buy people who
had bought expecting another brilliant
showing in the February traffic state
ments and were greatly disappointed
by the heavy falling off in net income
as compared with January. The Iron
Products plan ought TO be out within
