STOCK MARKET DULL. Real Feature of Day Was Further Rise in Foreian Exchange.

New York, May 20--The session on the stock exchange today was devoid of interesting developments. Trading was dull and professional throughout and the monotony of the movement was only relieved by the heavfness of such issues as Missouri Pacific and Western Maryland whose affairs are admittedly unsatisfactory. The shares and bonds of these companies fell from one to five points. Chesapeake and Ohio, New HaSen,- American Smelting and some of the utilities. including Peoples Gas and Consolidated Cas- were inter1nittently heavy but net changes. especially among the leaders, were negligible. In its broaded as- poets the real feature of the day was the further rise in foreign exchange Demand sterling advanced to 4.SS55 and cables were quoted at 4.ss, indicat- ing 6 continuance. probably on an in- creased scale. of recent gold exports. Brokers reported more denand for our metal from Paris and Berlin and the inquiry from the latter center Is pop ularly believed to be for Russian ac- count.

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
Big Race Indianapolis Has Great Prospects of Making New Worlds Records-Joe Dawson Made New Speedway Record Predictions That There Will be shortage of Cars by July.

Although still two weeks away, pre- parations for the next 500-mile race to be held on the Indianapolis motor speedway on May 30. have gone far enough to show promise for the actual contest of ecHpsing any single race ever held previously and probably any race meet also. In men who will drive, in able meehanicians, who will assist them, in the machines which they will pilot and in public interest and at- tendance, 1t bids fair to set new high water marks in the annals of racing via motor car. That there is a strong probability of previous records for the full distance and all intermediate marks being wiped out and replaced by newer and faster times goes al- most without saying, for multitude of stars, both foreign and American, are busy preparing for the fray wieh Geux, winner of last years contest in the van and closely followed by his teammate, the brilliant Beillot

enc north on the main stretch,and one south on the. first turn. Extra trans portation facilities are also being pro- vided, the eleventh hour throng being expected to reach the tenth of a mill lion mark. Nothing will be over looked to make the event a success.
 Joe Dawson, who two years ago won the annual 5o6-mile race, broke the Speedway record for one lap on the two o-and-a- -half-mile course, when he circled it in minuted 36 2-5 seconds. His average speed was better than 93 miles an hour, and part of the time he went faster than 1oe miles an hour. The former record WAS 1887.
 "The Spring season of automobile buying has sufficiently advanced so that a good line can be drawn on the probabilities" '1t Nlooks as though the first of July would see a shortage of cars of the more desirable makes, and that a great many people who are delaying selection will regret it. This applies, of course, to the bet ter grade of cars. as there seems te be an ample production of the 1aw-priced vehicles.
