"Econony is one of the greatest arguments for the use of power wag- onS in preference to horses, it is true, but because so much has been said in comparing cost of transportation by horses and by motor trucks, many people have lost sight of Q lot of advantages accompanying the use of motors"
 "The advantages are the delivery Of goods shortly after their purchase, as compared to receiving the same goods late at night; increased satisfaction Of customers; ability to make steamboat landings and railroad stations in time, long distance hauling without repeat ed handling; prompt service in either snow and ice or the heat of summer, neither effeCting the truck as it does the horse: small space for garaglng without the unsanitary and disagree? able odors of the stable.
 These features make it possible to have the cars near the mans business in the center of the city. while the horses and wagons occ1Iping d large amount of room, have to be lodged at distane. The space over a garage can be used for offices or any purpose for which a building can be used, while the space above stable is un- fit for office purposes"
 Even if the delivery outfit of a company cannot be located near the business, the motor truck has a great advantage over the horse. If horses are not sta'bled approximately near the place where they start the days work they are apt to be fatigued be- fore the days work is begun. Motor cars can be quickly brought to the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
sPIRITLEss TRADING.
No Pronounced Pressure, But An Un-
 dercurrent of HeaViness.

New York. April 3.-The last traces of the bullish spirit which propelled the market upward earlier in the week seemed to have oozed away today. Trading dragged on in a spirltless way, with an undercurrent Of heayl- ness At no time was the list under pronounced pressure, although ln 1so- lated instances prices gave way shafp- ly. The general movement was SLOW and it was not until shortly before the close, when selling became more ac- tive. that any considerable number of the prominent shares showed decnneS of as much as a point.
 Weaknes sof a few stocks held the whole market in cchek. Missouri Pa cifc slumped on the announcement that negotiations for acquisition Of control O fthat and other Gould roads by Rockefeller interests had been abandoned Canadian Pacific was eX- ceptionalIy heavy, responding to for eign selling. London offered that stock rather freely. but otherwise did little here. Progress of reorganization plans for Rock Island and Wabash was reflected by the movements Of those securities. New low records were made by Rock Island common at 3-4. the preferred at , 1-2 and col lateral fours at 34 5-8. Wabash fcurs continued their recent rise for a time, advancing 1-2 to 58 1-2, four point gain on the week. Later they sold off at 50 3-4 and closed W4tuOllIy ct 1IetC- tiona1 recovery.
 Various estimates were made of United States SteeFs thrilled tonnage report to be presented next week, but all of the forecasts agreed III predlct- ing a sharp contradiction. The out look for April Is regarded as doubt full New business during the last ten days was reported as slightly better, although large buyers are still holding off in the hope that steel makers will reduce prices further. Some sales of copper metal at IA 3-4 cents, an ad- vance of 1-8, were reported here.
 Increased cash holdings were indt- cated by the statistics of known cur rency movements for the week. Esti- mates of the cash gain called for an increase of s400,000. Aside from the movements in Rock Island and Wa bash issues, bond market fluctuations were not wide. Changes were irreg- ular. Total sales, par value, $3,010,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

EMERALDS PLAY BRILLIANT GAME
Finished Season by Defeating Hartford Independents 50 to 35 Outplayed Opponents in Last Haf-Wnners Displayed Remarkable Team Wors-Mason and Ross Made Bril- liant Shots.
Especial to The BulIetfn.)

Willimantic, April 3-The Emeralds wound up their season Friday night with a victory over the Hartford In dependents in the fastest and best game seen in WiIlimantic this winter. Score 50 to 35. The visiting aggrega- tion put up a great game, but the To- calls, playing the game of their lives, had a shade on them in the hrst hail. and walked away with the game in the second Such fast contest has seI- dom been seen in this city, and the Emeralds are to be congratulated up- on the quality of ball which they eX- bited. and which was needed to best the visiting team.
 Higgins Russell and Mack formed a great trio. and had their opponents guessing after the first half, while the guarding of J. Kierans and Woodward kept the visitors total down. The shooting of Mason and Ross was as pretty as has been shown here this season, but a few brilliant shots could not get the better of the splendid team work of the locals. There was re- markable absence of fouls, considering the strenuousness of the game.

the sensational

Arthur Ruray, the sensational mans high water mark of 141.13 miles an hour by attaining a speed of 14Z.9 at Ostend last fall, has entered the next Indianapolis five-hundrea- mile race at the wheel of q racing >c car owned by J. Meunier, the Swiss choc3- inches piston displacement, it is cap able of 96 miles an hour. because of which, together with its extreme light weight, 1t is expected to prove a most formidable contender.
 Duray also plans to bring over the big car in which he established his worlds stra1ghtaWay record I.st fall, sending it against Burman's time both on the speedway and Ormond beach, provided he can make satisfactory ar engagements with the factory. II is DUray's theory that he can reach 150 miles an hour with this creation if he ever made a place to let it out. Or mond beach ought exactly to suit his requirements in this respect, it is thought. On the speedway, of course, he would hardly be able to do ever 125 miles, as anything in excess of that figure might send him over ] turn into the next county.
 An odd circumstance comes to light in the fact that, despite his French training and environment Duray is a regular American, having been born in New York city some forty years ago. He returned to Paris wlen but a boy, and has resided there cve- since. His trip to this country next May will be the first he oas eyer his vocabulary.

ATHLETICS WILL WIN AGAIN. Connie Mack is Sure of 1915 Pennant Practically the Same Team.

Connie Mack, manager of the cham pion Athletics, has little doubt he will again win the pennant in the Ameri- can league and the championship from the National league. He is not talkative, but these are his opionS of his chances in 1914:
 Picking the winner of a baseball championship before the season starts is just about as easy as trying to strike out Ty Cobb. You may do it, but the chances are largely against you. Every club has a quantity of material which it takes south in the spring, and no one, not even the manager himself, knows just how the recruits will per form in fast company. They may ap- pear to be world beaters in early prac- tice, and then 'bIOw-up' when 1t comes down to the real task in the cham pionship race or they may have the goods and the manager fail to realize it.
 50 fare as the Athletics are con cerned I have not much doubt but that we will again lead the chase at the end of the season, although it is not a certainty. We won the worlds championship in 1911 and were look ed upon as a sure winner in 1912, yet we did not even win the pennant in our own league. That shows the un- certinty of baseball, and I believe in proceeding along the lines of fight ing for every game. ne counts just as much as another and if the men try to win all their games there is no room for excuse at the end.
 Whether my players will stand up under the strain is a question which I cannot answer. Personally, l hope and think that they will. but it must be remembered that two of my best pitchers-Bender and Plank-are no longer youngsters and Father Time" will take his toll when he is ready. Should they go along as well as last year l cannot see how we are to be beaten, despite the strengthening con- dition of our rivals. l have practi- Cally the same team as last year and we hope that CoOmbs will be able to help us out this season.
 My indeld, of which I am justly proud, remains the same and l don't know how I would improve upon it, even if 1 so desired. McInnis, Collins, Barry and Baker are all young play CTS and should grow steadier with each succeeding year. They work to- gether in perfect harmony and under stand one another so well that l do not have to bother with them at all.
 T look for a hard race this year, with some probable surprises, but eX- cept for acidents or illness I feel req sonably sure that the American league gonfalon will again float at Shibe park in 1915'

Many motorists this spring hav'

Many motorists this spring have equipped their cars with spring bumpers, and the idea is a good one, Time and time again headlamps and lenders have been smashed because Of brakes not working quickly or be- cause the car has slowed after the rear wheels were lOcked-not violent Iy, but just enough to bump the car ahead and do minor damage. Some times careless drivers in congested traffic back up with cart behind without looking while many of the taxicabs running loose around town have brakes that fail to work as they should. Another source of danger to lamps and lenders is when in a traffic jam a horse takes notion to back his wagon into the car standing just astern.
 Some owners have even adopted the plan of putting bumpers on both front and rear, especially on handsome limousines and cars with expensive bodies A few years ago people were ashamed to have such accessories on their cars, but nowadays tKnEu -s, a different feeling. In many cases d bumper pays for itself in the headlamp bills it saves.

American motorists touring Europe next autumn probably will have aa opportunity to drive their cars over the new automobile speedway that IS be- ing constructed through the Grune- just outside of Berlin, and which Is to be one of the finest of the exclusive automobile roads of the world.
 The road, upon which 400 men are now working night and day, assisted bv immense steam shovels and other improved road machinery, is to be ten miles long, without grade crossings, bridges being constructed where other roads cross, and also to give pe0eS- trains an opportunity to go from one side to the other of the speedway.
 The road is being built in two courses each with a surfaced width of eight metres (about 26.25 feeO, ana with an unpaVed centre strip of the same width as each of the roadWays. The construction is a three-course tar maCadam, with concrete curbs.
 The bridges are an especially Inter estins feature. They are of special design, so as to harmonize with the general intent of the roadway as well as the surroundings. While in this country the customary practlce IS 10 narrow the roadway somewhat Wnere a large bridge is required, the Ger mans on this automobile speedway have adopted exactly the opposite plan, and the clear roadway on the culVerts as well as the bridges is made nlne metres
 The material for the new road, which runs straightway through the forest through the southwest Of Ser lin is being brought by water from Magdeburg and then transferred by special unloading machinery to the cars of the structural railway and car ried to the ground with a minimum or hand labor.
 The only road in this country com parabIe with the Berlin highway is the Long Island Parkway, extending ending through the middle of Long Island from the vicinity of Forest Park to Lake Ronl1onkoma, a distance of about forty miles. This is a single roadway of concrete and has hardly any grade crossings.
 The first part of this road was open ed in 1908, when it was used as part of the Vanderbilt Cup race circuit. It has since been extended eastward. The parkway is not, however, municipal or state undertaking, but was built with private capital and has b-en operated as a toll road.
