AUTO MAKERS ARE
BACKING The CITY
Vice President w. H. Brown of
Overland Company Out for
San Francisco
By R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU

Not least. among those who will bene-
fit If the Panama Pacific international
exposition is held at San Francisco in
1915 will be the manufacturers of au-
tomobiles. These manufacturers, most
of whom are located in the east, have
found the west to be their most fertile
field for sales.
According to Will H. Brown, vice
president of the Willys-Overland COM
pany, a general migration of motorists
from the east to San Francisco would
not only give a national impetus to the
better roads movement, and not only
afford the motorists an incentive and an
ideal opportunity to view the grandeur
Of the glorious golden west, but would
form the best means of educating these
great market centers.
The automobile manufacturer has
found the westerner a man of action
and progressiveness If the manufac-
turer has a good car, all he needs to do
is to demonstrate to the westerner that
this automobile will save him time and
money and will add to his health and
happiness, and a cash sale is then put
on the books.
"The Panama canal and the automo-
bile are alike" said Brown. The Pa
mama canal is a concrete result of the
dreamer Of dreams for $50 years. 1t is
the expression in motion of the need of
man to conquer time and distance. 1t
will open up new worlds of wealth and
pleasure. The automobile is the ear
mark on the progress of civilization the
same as this canal. Once man hitched
his wife and an OK together. Next to
production comes the problem of dis
tribution. The need of the automobile
In order to conquer time and distance
caused man to make it the same as the
need of the Panama canal has directed
the attention and the ambition of man
for hundreds of years. To me there is
something of historic encouragement in
the proposed exposition at San Fran
cisco. IT points to a new era in the
progress of man. No doubt hundreds of
tourists will travel from the middle
west and the east to attend this grand
opening"
automobiles, most of whom are located
in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, shows
that they will support this exposition
at San Francisco with mammoth edu-
cational displays. They believe that
nothing will do the trade or the people
in general more good than such a gath
ering. 1t is reported on good authority
that if the exposition is held at San
Francisco the WHY'S s-Overland company
will have the largest display ever held
in the world.

How Tires Are
Built for Roads

How Tires Are Ior the success
Built for Roads Of ofraaa American tires
has compelled the
working out of more advanced methods
of tire construction in this country
than are used in Europe, and the
American product is fast gaining in
popularity among European motor
lsts,F says Keith H. Goode, who lately
took charge of the Diamond tire dis
tributing establishment in Paris
The American invasion is making it
self felt in every corner of the CONT
nent,' he adds. One point in Ameri-
can tire construction to which the
European automobile user has taken
very kindly is the higher and thicker
side wall of the tire, in contrast with
those of the foreign product. In Dia-
mond tires. for instance, the thicker
rubber of the tread Is carried up much
tire casing, largely for the purpose of
resisting the strain and wear occasioned
by ruts. This problem was never
worked out abroad, because, perhaps
the more uniformly smooth and level
roads never made such a desirable fea-
ture so apparent as in this country.
Large numbers of American motor
mer have commented upon the greater
mileage given them by American made
tires than was obtained from the tire
equipent of foreign manufacture Time
was when America obtained some good
ideas on tire construction from the
European manufaTurers. but there is
have now been surpassed. They must
come to America for more advanced
methods than they are now using OR
fall behind in the tire business of their
own markets."

RAILWAYS FEEL
STATE POLITICS

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The reac-
tionary undertone which character
lied yesterdays stock market be-
came more pronounced today. Trad
ing was in small volume. If any
thing the market was more profess
sional At odd times the entire list
seemed under pressure, but more
often the points of weakness were
the Hartman issues. Reading and
United States steel, which have long
comprised the bulk of the average
days business.
1t is a reasonably fair assumption
that the pressure directed on the
Pacific shares results largely from
recent developments in California.
The success of the insurgent cause
in that state is generally regarded as
unfavorable to the Southern Pacific
road, which report has long credited
with unwonted political activity on
the Pacific coast.
Stocks grew increasingly heavy
in the afternoon with a generally
lower price level. AL the leaders
went below the bottom prices of the
previous day, but the closing was
slightly more active, with moderate
recoveries in Reading and Union Pa
cific.
London repeated its tactics of the
last few days by open selling in this
market, chiefly of coppers, United
States steel and the Pacifcs, to the
extent of fully $4,000 shares on bal
ance. London's home market con-
tinued in state of depression with
especial heaviness in the rubber
stocks.
The annual report OF the American
smelling and refining company
showed net earnings for the fiscal
year, ending April 80 last, of $7,5OS,
OOO This was but moderate de-
crease from the previous year and
rather favorable on the whole.
Domestic money movements indi-
cate a cash gain by local banks of
$5,OOO,OOO to $7OOO,OOO. Bank clear
ings for the week show loss of %
per cent, compared with the same
week last year. The loss results
largely from the decrease in clear
ings at this center.
The bond market was Irregular and
dull. Total sales (par value), $1,237,-
900.

OAHU STOCK BOOST
PROVED TOO VIGOROUS

nor, in fact, until the public has had
time to digest the fitness of the
stock to any new position to which
1t may be elevated.
Between boards yesterday after
noon 100 shares of the stock changed
hands at 1925. After that num-
Der of small blocks cor parts of large
blocks) appeared at 1872, and sales of
66, 100, 20, 80 and 16 shares at that
figure. Reports of the appearance of
this stock soon spread, with the re-
suit that cold feet was soon in ev-
idence.
. When the session opened this
morning the stock was weak. Sales
of 10 and shares were made at
only $31.75, after which the same
was bid for more and S31.S75 asked.
Hawaiian Commercial was in good
demand, 100 and so shares selling at
$41125, after which more was offer
ed at the same, but bidding was SAL

by Is at &c. At the close more of the
stock was offered at the latter figure,
but bidding had sagged to $5.S75.

80, 20 and 10 shares were made at
$33.75, after which the same was bid
for more but $3S.S75 was asked.
Hawaiian Agricultural was again in
evidence, go and so shares selling at
1920. At the close 1919 was bid and
$227.50 asked for this stock.
Two blocks of Kahuku were sold
at $3.50, the total being $50 shares
This is regarded as a god price.
Rubber and brewery again bobbed
up serenely in the trading. A block
of 20 Pahang changed hands at ST.
375, while "a shares Primo brought
$21.75.
Considering the rains that have
been prevailing on all the islands
and the higher and rising sugar mar
ket, local stocks are not as active
as one might expect them to be. A
few years ago conditions of the sort
now being experienced would be the
signal for a great deal of life.

leaving deficit of 1885. An unused
balance from the last period will just
about make up the deficit but the

REPORTS OF DUN
AND BRADSTREET

Bradstreet New York; of August
20 had the following to say on the
business situation.
Crop reports and fall jobbing
trade show further improvement.
This is the most marked in the west,
where general rains have improved
corn, and where house trade has ex-
banded as the result of the arrival
of country buyers. Better than ex-
pected results from spring wheat
have made for a more optimistic
feeling also in the northwest. K
Reports from. leading industries
are not much changed. Iron and
steel are quiet, with crude and finish
ed production a little restricted
Building remains active at many CEN
ters, and lumber and hardware are
in better demand at the west, while
quiet east and south. st. Louis
shoe manufacturers are working ov-
ertime, and eastern manufacturers
report more orders coming in, but
production and shipments are still
below last years. Some resumption
OF wooden goods mills are noted.
Curtailment is still in evidence in
cotton goods.
Business failures for the week
ending August 10 were 222 in the
United States, against 231 last week,
1873 in the like week of 1909, 236 IN
1908, 1873 in 1907 and 1876 in 1906.
Business failures for the week in
Canada number 26, which compares
with 20 last week and 20 in the cor
responding week of 1909"
On the same day R. G. Dunn C
Company (also New York; reported
as follows:
while trade contraction continues,
situation appears stronger.
while quietness still prevails in
most departments of the iron and
steel market, there has been prac-
tically no further decline in quota
tions. The general opinion appears
to be that the lowest point has now
been reached.
THE tone in the dry goods market
is better, especially with jobbers and
selling agents, but business is still
of limited proportions. Cotton
goods and cotton yarns hold firm,
with buying showing more breadth.
Business on wool firsts and worsteds
is of a more limited character, al
though there is more agreement re-
garding values.
Many shoe manufacturers have
completed contracts on fall goods
and are now doing little owing 10
lack of supplementary fall orders.
Most of the New England factories
are running on part time and the To-
cal jobbing trade continues to i'm
prove, owing to the approaching OPP
ening of the schools. The hide mar
ket is less active and the advanced
prices demanded of late have check

The Oahu stock boom of yester-
day and the day before was rather
too strong to last, and was almost as
absurd as the bear movement which
had preceded it. Honolulu is no
longer in accord with speculative
fiurries, be they upward or down
ward; and the players at such games
run the risk of being left early with
only the bag to hold. Oahu will stand
gradual advance and final return to
it's old place on the stock list; but it
will not reach that point at a bound,
