Automobile Racing.

From the Chicago Tribune
It is gratifying 10 note that the officials
Of the American Automobile Association
have gone on record as opposed TO any
further races Of go or 300 miles until
the conditions permitted in the past are
radically changed. The killing Of five
people at Indianapolis was decisive The
dangers which have been discovered are
TO be minimized If not entirely removed.
No driver viii be permitted TO engage
In a long contest without careful physical
examination, nor viii one be allowed To
drive q car the whole distance in the
case Of rates Of several hundred miles
Furthermore, when drivers are changed.
time VIII be taken for thorough lnspec-
ton Of the condition Of the racing ma
chimes. TO be made by experts.
Under the most favorable circumstances
automobile racing contests are certain TO
be attended by great danger. The rate
or speed is excessive. The excitement Of
contest makes one forgetful Of restraints.
The chance Of a break in the machinery
or Of momentary loss Of control Is
ever present Death keeps near By. ready
10 grasp any one Of many Opportunities
to manifest his presence. There have
been too many killings IN these races as
they have been conducted. The slauglf-
ter at Indianapolis should remain the
limit In the records OF motor racing.

New York. Oct. 25-An aggregate de-
cline Of nearly three points in the aver
age price Of the principal stocks in the
last two days Of last week invited al
most necessarily some recovery in prices
to-day, even II the market news had re-
NAMED Of the same general tenor as It
was on Friday and Saturday.
But the market news to-day was. IN
fact, distinctly favorable. II was the
almost universal expectation last week
that the Bank OF Germany would this
morning announce an advance I'm its dis
count rate from per cent to per cent,
but, on the contrary the weekly state
ment Of the bank to-day showed an inn
provement in condition loans decreasing
heavily and cash increasing consider
ably. Therefore. the directors OF tho
German institution left their discount
rates unchanged
Financial Strain Less.
The price OF money. too. NJ least for
local funds. tended lower in all the finan.
cial capitals, and exchange on London
Berlin. and Paris moved in a manner
indicating that the financial strain there
was ebbing, at any rate temporarily. In
our own market sterling during the dav
fell but quarter OF a cent in the pound
and It was obvious that the danger OF
immediate gold exports TO Europe was
for the time being, over.
One great reason for this was Of
course. the circumstance that the Banl,
OF England was enabled to-day 20 nur-
chase in the open London market more
than S.5O0.C00 OF South African gold
available there. even if the bank had
sun TO pay somewhat larger premium
4or the metal than Il usually does
IL Is true that the cost Of carving
through the financial settlement the
most speculative stocks dealt in on the
London Stock Exchange, those OF the
Iransvaal mining stocks. was UNUSUALLY
high to-day. and there IS a fair prespu,n-
ton that the price charged for similar
accommodation IN the case OF American
stocks will also be advanced tomorrow.
