AUTO TRADE
IMPORTANT
Big Show Directs Atten.
tion to Motors.
OPENS TOMORROW
The First Annual Auto Show of
Bridgeton Association In
augurated Thursday.

Tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock,
the first annual show of the Bridgeton
Automobile Association will open and
the exhibition will continue for the re-
mainder of the week. The big show
will be held in the Armory building
of Company X National Guard.
The show committee, o. P. Riley,
Joseph Acton and Charles Ham, has
been working industriously to make
the first show a success and have done
much detail work. The result of their
efforts will be shown tomorrow when
the Armory doors are open and the
people have opportunity to make
careful inspection of the 1916 model
machines and the various equipment
for automobiles.
There will be eight exhibitors and
each of them have procured the very
last word in motor vehicles to be
shown to the people of South Jersey.
Thousands of dollars worth of ma
chimes and equipment will be present
ed for inspection and demonstration.
The show will open each morning
at 10 o'clock and continue open until
late at night. The big room will be
attractively decorated and the scene
will be an inspiring one for everyone
who may be even in the slightest de-
gree interested in motor vehicles.
The motor business in Bridgeton is
much more important than many ha e
been led to believe. Great plopt1 y
values have been made here in gar
age buildings and equipped shops. EN-
ployment is given to more than 100
men by the local distributors. For in
stance Riley Brothers employ 19 men,
The Ham Automobile Company have
II men and Joseph H. Elwell and JOS
eph Acton employ s people. 1t is ap-
parent then that in wages and salaries
alone there is paid out by the local
automobile dealers about $4,000 a
week, or over 100000 a year This
means an important industry for
Bridgeton.
Inquiries have been made from all
about South Jersey concerning the
show and it is certain that the at
tendance will be very large.

Grain Review

Chicago, May 15-Wheat today
fluctuated nervously. influenced on the
one hand by good rains In the SOUTH
west but on the other hand by Kansas
reports that the fields were badly In
tested with Hessian fly. The fact that
Oklahoma received no moisture over
Sunday tended to handicap the bears
and so, too, did higher quotations from
Liverpool. Opening prices. which
ranged from &c decline to h@Ac ad-
vance with July at Sill to $1.l7k and
September at 31.17A to $1.17A. were
followed by moderate general upturn
and then a material setback.
Later, a decided setback took place,
the result of realizing by longs who APP
peared to believe that general rains had
brought about substantial Improvement
in the crop outlook as a whole. The
market closed unsettled, non to 1c
net lower. with July at $1.16h and
September at 31.16h.
Corn hardened owing to storms that
delayed planting. Advances were
checked, though, by the uncertain
course Of wheat. After opening shade
to u @Kc higher, prices gained little
more and then underwent a slight re-
action. .>....
Subsequently, corn turned down
grade when wheat prices developed un-
mistakable weakness The CLOSE was
steady at y to h@xc net decline.
Oats merely reflected the action Of
corn. Trade was very fight.
Higher prices on hogs brought about
an advance in provisions. Commission
housese were the chief buyers.
