sold to members of the Japanese I'm
perial Household Ave 1913 Cadillac

been made by the company's Yoka-
hama agents, Andrews & George. These

duct in particular. The company's
officials are being congratulated on
the honor won for this country.

DETROIT ROADSTER
ASSURED SUCCESS
New Model With New Features
Is Bringing Quick Returns
to Detroit Manufacturers

The Detroit roadster-the new 5000
model OF which the initial shipments
are just being made by the Briggs-De-
troiter company, has met with a rous-
ing welcome from dealers everywhere.
Heavy orders were placed even before
the demonstrators wre ready; and the
car will be featured at the coming
shows all over the country.
Several distinguishing features are
accountable for this instantaneous
success. First among these Ia the en-
closed rear deck OF unusual design
that combines both utility and beauty
In remarkable degree. The fuel
tank tank being concealed beneath the
seat, this rear deck Is entirely avail
able for baggage and tires. II will ec-
commodate pair OF fully inflated
tires and large suitcase, easily.
The csassis OF the roadster Is the
same as that OF the touring car with
the same nine high grade features
that given the touring car its reputa-
ton.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Irregular and Reaction
ary Trend Shown Dur
the Session.

The element OF nrmneSS WnlCn was
detected in the stock market Yesterday
and on previous days this week seemed
TO give way yesterday in the trading
which during the day developed irregu-
larity and a reactionary tendency. Ihe
initial sales revealed prices fractonally
under Thursdays closing in the lead
ing issues, but the specials exhibited
weakness. California Petroleum made
a new low record by selling down TO
34&. The action Of California Petro-
leum lately, which is a per cent
stock. has been surrounded with a
great degree Of mystery. There has
been much speculation as TO what the
prospect is regarding dividends. and
yesterday afternoon the president OF
the California Petroleum Corporation
issued a statement giving a f1attering
outlook for the company, based on the
earnings for the quarter ended March
81 this year. which showed a net pal
ance equivalent to 50 per cent on the
common stock. The report also init
mated that the regular dividend Will
be declared on the preferred and the
common stocks at the meeting OF the
directors early in June. This stimu-
lated a better tone in the stock. and
its closing was at a fraction anove
Thursdays final price.
St Louis & San Francisco second
preferred was very weak and sold
down TO II. establishing a new low rec
ord. while the first preferred declined
10 31l4. more than & points below
Thursdays price and a new low for
this stock. An unfavorable feature Of
the market was the soft appearance Of
Pennsylvania. which sold down 20
1898. its lowest price since 1905. when
il touched 1883. Rumely preferred
was another stock TO establish new
low record by selling under -. With
all this array of adversely there were
some bright spots in the action of
stocks. exhibited in Amalgamated Cop
per. Chino Copper, Illinois Central,
Reading and Union Pacific. on the
whole. the Street was bearish, infu-
enced by a feeling of depression re-
garding the money situation and the
news from abroad reporting re-
newed outbreak Of hostilities in the
Balkans.
Irregularity marked the course of
trading on the foreign stock markets,
but the closing prices reflected a
rather cheerful tone compared with the
opening. So. in a general way, the
foreign stock market news having a
direct influence on security transact
items was not harmful. and influences
had to be sought locally rather than
worldwide to account for the weak
ness here The news of the day from
over the country was confined mostly
TO the report Of the country's idle
cars, which showed an increase Of TO-
495 in the surplus for the fortnight
period ended May II, and the weekly
trade reviews reported an improved
feeling Of cheerfulness and d consider
able volume of business in practically
all branches Of trade and industry.
There as nothing new in the
money market. and local financing at
tracted little attention. Both the de-
mand and offerings in time money
were limited. and call money was re-
newed at %. per cent and preserved
an easy tone
