that one of the most satisfactory let
ters received by the home company
was one which he has just received
which was written by o. j. Maigne. 1t

the race was won IL has been travelling
about the country steadily. being used
for exhibition purposes. So anxious
were many to see ii after the race that
the Locomubile company decided to
crafty the wishes of the people and
for more than a year the car has been
shipped about the country from one city

Not a thing has been done to it. Not

At present it is doing the west and

attention now as it did in the east just
after the finish of the race. 1t is still
a wonderful car to many and always
will be, for it was the first American
made car to break the run of victories
for foreign made cars, the first to prove
American superiority in long road

RUMORS UNSETTLE
MARKET TRADING
Sale of Steel Stocks by Supposed
Insider Give Rise to
Much Comment
COPPERS FALL BUT RALLY
Contemplated Legal Procedure
Against Cotton Pool Has
Divided Effect
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, April 19.-There was a
lack of decisive tone in the stock
market today, which reflected a good
deal of uncertainty in the specula-
tion. The market was not active, but
Importance was attached to some
large individual transactions, especially
in United States Steel
The selling Of this stock by the stock
exchange firm which was revealed as
the largest owner OF record of the
company's shares of any of its class
by the statement given out by the cor
poration itself yesterday gave rise to
much comment. The influence was due
to the widespread belief that the firm s
holdings represent the interest of some
of the so-called insiders in the corpor-
alton.
The source of the selling was regard
ed none the less ominous The effect
was to give rise to doubts of the ac-
curacy of previous predictions OF a
coming increase in the dividend. The
rumor was given currency also that
the quarterly statement of earnings to
be published next Tuesday would
prove disappointing.
It was reported that the publica-
tion of monthly statistics of copper
production and deliveries of stocks
would be abandoned and the Copper
Producers association be dissolved.
The effect on sentiment was to suggest
a return to secret methods and a feel
ing of distrust of the actual trade con-
dition. A denial of the report rallied
the coppers.
The volume of gold engagements for
export proved somewhat disconcerting,
the total rising to near the $5,000,000
mark, of which So, 000 900 was for Lon
don and 81, $50, 900 for Brazil The action
of the money market offered no bar to
the movement, the call loan rate rul-
ing below per cent. In London the
money market showed the relief caused
by this movement of gold in the low
ering of the private discount rate
The prosecution of the cotton market
pool would have several phases In the
Wall street view. A breaking up of
the artificial conditions surrounding cot
ton and a price adjustment would be
welcomed by the financial community.
On the other hand. legal proceedings
against market operators in another
commodity suggests analogies for the
stock operator that are not grateful.
None of the days factors was con-
stant in its operations and prices end
ed the day little changed.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par
value. s1;76500. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO, April 1a-Eigher prices for wheat
futures at Liverpool induced many shorts to
cover wheat today, leading longs meanwhile
buying heavily TO start a general stampede.
A modest rally, however was an opportunity
to a leading southwestern long to unload. This,
with very free offerings from cash grain hand
lers and elevator concerns, put a larger load
on the market than it could sustain, and
values had a downward trend thereafter
Continued liquidation OF May corn. with fur
ther slight widening OF its already liberal dis
count from deferred months, was supplemented
by unloading by some Of the recent good buy
ers Of July. The market not a very broad
one, and finally declined with wheat, after
being somewhat disposed to be helped by 1t
early Weather clearing and the storm pas
sage eastward. Ne serious delay in preparing
the ground and the season promises 70 be an
exceptionally early one, Gables indicated a
very unpromising corn market abroad, with
no likelihood of business.
Oats easier, with wheat and corn. Not as
much buying as heretofore on new crop news
on possibility Of frost damage. Latter's effect
not likely to show in any event before harvest.
Shipping call not as brisk as usual, although
fair
Provisions were well bought today, despite
