Wireless Stock in Great Demand on a
 Cash Basis.

New York, April 19,-Rlsiness on the stock exechange for the greater part of today's session was the dullest in many weeks. Transactions in the first two hours barely totalled more than 100, ,000 shares, and the trend of prices was mainly downward The markets heaviness during that period probably resulted more from the apathy of the speculative and professional interests than from any other source The feel ing produced by the Titanic disaster has not been frightened by later devel- opments, and the financial community continues to feel a sense of deep af- fiction. -
 Another factor from which 1t was impossible to extract much comfort was the status of the dispute between the eastern railway managers and the locomotive engineers.
 The market continued dull and 1r- regular until the last hour. when a, de- mand for certain standard issues. es- pecially Union Pacific United States Steel and Reading, brought a revival of activity and the best prices of the day On the "curb" the old Marconl stock continued it's spectacular ad- vance of the previous day, opening at 240, a five point overnight gain, selling
 
 transactions in this stock were said to have been for cash, which would in- dicate a very genuine demand.
 International Mercantile Marine is sues were heavy with a decline of 11-2 points in the bonds and a sub stantial fraction in the preferred stock. sending that Issue to it's lowest price in many weeks. There was nothing approaching liquidation in the marine securities. however.
 The return flow of cash from the in terior points to a large cash gain by local institutions for the week, Money was abundant here today, but in mod crate demand. Another shipment of gold to South America was reported, with an additional transfer of curren- cy to San Francisco, the latter for fruit carrying purposes.
 Bonds were generally lower, with an- other decline In New York city issues, which sold at lowest prices in many weeks. St. Louis Southwestern Con solidated fours were an exception to the general tendency, rising three points. some of which was later lost.

coMPETITIoN FoR RACES.
Three Cities Are After Vanderbilt Cup
 and Grand Prize Races.

With the rapid decline of automobile racing on road and track in the east, a movement is developing in the west and southwest to keep alive the sport. Three years ago. road races were held ar Motor parkway, Riverhead, L. l., Lowell and other places on the east ern seaboard, while many race meet ings were held over mile dirt tracks in the eastern section of the southern states, while Daytona and Ormonde beach offered almost unrivaled facili- ties for the advancement of motor ear racing. The only event of real interest now held in the east is the Fairmount park road race at Philadel- phia, and even here there was consld- eraible opposition before the sanction was granted by the Fairmount park commission.
 Three cities are now in line for the Vanderbilt cup or grand prize contests, or both Los Angeles and Milwaukee represent the west and Dallas the southwest. The California promoters want both events; Milwaukee would promote both classes, but prefers the Vanderbilt cup race Dallas is bid ding for the Automobile Club of Amer ica grand prize. Milwaukees applica- ton is endorsed iby the board of trade and chamber of commerce, Milwaukee Automobile club. and also the Chicago Motor club while the various trade organizations of Los Angeles and Dal- las are behind the applications from those cities.
 There is a general feeling among motor car manufacturers and dealers that the salvation of the racing sit nation lies in the west and southwest. Galveston has applied for a sanction for a weeks racing on the sand beach and offers $6,000 in prize money in addition to trophies.
 Long Island IS preferred, as the home of the Vanderbilt race, but the failure to obtain military protection prevents a return to the Motor park way course. It is also felt by the Motor cups holding company that it was a mistake to give the Vanderbilt cup race to Savannah, as it supordi- mated that event to the grand prize. Any responsible city offering proper Inducements can get the Vanderbilt cup race, but some assurance must be forthcoming that the event will be staged az the road feature of the year i'll tic Uniled States.
 Meanwhile manufacturers and driY- CTS are turniLe toward the southwest and west to relieve the present state of uncertainty of racing. Up to the present time 80 per cent. of the ap- plicaLlons for sanctions have come from that section of the country.

The dry splitter is the very latset thing in the big league benders, and Rube Evans. the Giants southpaw re- cruit from Dallas, Tex is the inventor. Evans throws the dry splitter in exact ly the same manner that the regular spitbaIl is delivered, except that he does not mOisten 1t. It takes a peculiar wobblins motion and jumps just as 1t gets to the batter. Instead of breaking into a right handed batter, as in the case of the spitbau, it takes an out ward and upward jump that is very puzzling. McGraW says he will try to teach it to Rube Marquard.
