AMERICAN STOCKS DEPRESSED ABROAD Speculation LifelesS on New York Exchange-Slight
 Losses at the End

New York, May 16.-The most direct in- fluence brought to bear upon the stock market was from abroad. London re- ported selling there by Paris. which in turn was attributed to unsatisfactory financial conditions in Russia. American stocks were depressed sharply in London. Speculation here was lifeless and at the opening the list followed the line of least resistance by easing off the about the level reached in the English market. At the lower range a better demand arose, and the decline was quickly cancelled The movement thereafter was narrow and variable, with majority of slight losses at the end.
 Sentiment was cheerful The weekly trade reviews reflected this spirit. which is based more upon expectation than upon visible improvement. Tn some branches of business. it was said. distinct better ment was evident, but changes were slow. Continued favorable weather for the growing crops and the strength of the investment position indicated by the ready absorption of stock and bond is- sues also supported bullish opinion.
 The bank statement did not come up to expectations. Large cash gain had been predicted, but the amount shown in the actual table was less than sSO00,000 The loan expansion of s22, ,723,000 reflected the large syndicate operations of the week. The surplus reserve fell off by nearly s2.Oo0.000

SWIFT RALLY OCCURS
 IN WHEAT MARKET.
May Delivery at One Time Shows 2c Advance-Fly
 Threatens Kansas Crop

Chicago, May 16.--Addition of Kan sas to the region threatened with se- rious crop losses from Hessian fly had considerable to do today with a swift rally in wheat. At one time May de- livery showed cents advance. The market closed unsettled. s4 c above last night. Other speculative articles, too, all made a net gain-corn A @ sse to %c, oats K e iac to x and provisions 21a q rec.
 Salina and Ottawa counties in Kan sas formed specifically the new terri tory where the Hessian fly pest was wheat. Damage already was estimated lat 30 per cent. Experts who hereto fore had minimized the injury from the insect plague today were conceding that more harm had been done than previously was acknowledged, 50 per cent being mentioned at several points. l Illinois complaints abated little, 1t at all.
 Shorts in May wheat received the hardest twist during the general ad- vance in prices. Profit taking, how ever. gave the option the widest re- action at the finish. Realizing sales near the close and temporary weakness early on account of rains southwest afforded the only breathing spots for the bears.
 Although favorable weather for planting acted as check on bulls in corn, that cereal responded to the ad- vance of wheat. Besides, Argentine dispatches indicated that excessive heat was increasing the losses which had been inflicted by continual rains. Re- ceipts for the week here. compared with corresponding weeks of other sea sons, were the smallest in years. Oats joined in the firmness devel- oped by other grain. Corn prospects in central and southern Illinois and in Indiana were represented as becoming Hess bright.
 Provisions rose with hogs and corn. Business, though. was only moderate. Future quotations were as follows:

 Buying Is Conspicuous

New York, May 16.-In advance today which carried new crop positions into new high ground for the season the cotton market displayed pronounced activity in which buying for southern account was conspicuous feature, attending reports of further excessive rains and bad crop prospects in Texas The market close firm and to 1s points higher and only a little under top for the day.
 A surprisingly firm Liverpool market, attributed to covering and the removal of hedges in response to the report that 1200 bales had been destroyed by fire at Galveston, Tex, started the buying move ment on this side.
 First prices showed advances of to 10 points. The advance received further im- pulse from bullish weather dispatches, notably from Texas where it was still raining with a prospect that unsettled and showery conditions would prevail over Sunday. With the advance there also came a general increase on the out side buying and an active covering move ment, particularly in new crops by Wall street interests Liverpool and local shorts were leading buyers of the old crops.
 Unsettled and showery weather in the western belt and generally fair conditions in the east were contained in the of ficial forecast. On the advance May reached Is cents while all new crops ex- oept January crossed the 13 cents level.
 Bulls contended that few days more of such weather would start @ bull cam paign of considerable proportions, but on the other hand 1t was believed that any return conditions would result in quite a sharp setoeck.

Now Ready for
 Elimination Tests

At least two-thirds of the entrants in the next Indianapolis 600-mile race are
 sweating blood at present, wondering if their cars will be able to survive the qualification trials, designed to eliminate all but the 30 fastest flyers, three days before the contest. The seriousness of the situation seems just to have dawned on them. with the result that there is a rush to the track for practice, unparalled in the history of the course.
 A lot of the machines are being fitted with special parapherna1ia, such as small CT tires lower gear ratios, and so on. to give them just an extra little burst of speed. The tests being for a lay only, is Is apparent that the sprinters will survive. even though the race on the final day is scheduled to be one of endurance as we'll But a Tooth of second will be enough to throw a man out of the contest, the electrical timing machine of the speed way being set to catch fractions that small The chance of tie, under these conditions, does not seem to be within the realm of possibility. the third and last test of an entrant being considered his final.

Beware of Damage
 to Your Plugs

Look before you leapti is the advice that the New York branch of the Bosch
 Magneto company is moved by its ex- periences to offer those who make use of oxygen to remove carbon from the conn bustfon chamber.
 It seems that while the oxygen methoG is ideal to accomplish the purpose. espec- ialiy in that it does not reouire the dis
 mantling of the engine. yet there has
 been found a real need to set up the
 safety first signal. so to speak.
 The usual method of administering the treatment is simply to insert the tube from the oxygen tank into cylinder, whereupon the contact of the oxygen and carbon makes the latter combustible. so that applying a lighted match at the opening ignites the carbon and 1t burns away to a mere nothing. So far we are led to believe. all is well and the treat ment has been successful. but the terrific heat generated by the cylinder has un-
 failingy had a disasterous effect upon the accessories with which 1t came into contact.
 The spark plugs are among the prin- cipal sufferers from tho oxygen treat ment. Quite frequently this method of carbon removal Is made use of in engines having two spark plugs to each cylinder and the oxygen tube is passed through one of the plug orifices and the remain N'N f'NSf ittt ttiiik ftiilONtu. lS CoHSc- quently subjected during the burning of the carbon. to terrific and constant heat | such as was not taken into consideration l by the maker of the plug. In conseduence, various detrimental results are liable to | follow; the porcelain or other insulating | material may be damaged and the plug | thus made worthless. or the points or

 and otherwise distored from their proper l relation to one another
 l Such result can be readily imagined and may he the very cause of the ex- | pfession of dissatisfa aotion concerning

 | There is nothing in the foregoing to | condemn the oxygen process for carbon removal uor that specific purpose it
 seems very satisfactory. but the express purpose of these paragraphs IS to offer ] the suggestion that, with the use of this process. generally satisfactory result can be assured only if the spark plugs | regularly used. are removed and replaced with blanks or a set of discarded plugs during the time that the intense heat iz present In the cylinder.

Every condition affect ing the market was of bullish charac- ter. Liverpool came in at 31a English points improvement and with a continued full line of spots. while the demand for a line of spinnable cotton for this side was undiminished in volume with buyers willing to make concessions.
 There was very little improvement in the weather position in the greater DOT tion of the belt These influences com bined to develop a renewal interest in the long side of the market, and free buying sent prices up with a fair degree of steadiness throughout the day.
