RY RRnADAN WALL,

NEW YORK. May l0.--Wi,h the cx-
ception Of few specialties III which
there is little public interest, the stock
market was without action to-day.
Traders were withheld by uncertainty
OF conditions on the Mexican border
and by fear that another crisis might
develop from the Cymrc incident
Speculative Wall Street was busy in the
cotton market, in which new hlEh
records were made for the movement,
Rock Island stock was the most ac-
tive feature OF the day. but closed With

American Beet Sugar and American
Sugar were both strong. No intorma-
ton was forthcoming 20 account for
the movements. but in Beet Sugar the
buying was for the account OF people
who are confident OF dividends in the
autumn. They are talking materially
higher prices. and do not want any
market following vet. Except Chcv-
role. which made another high record.
motors were quiet. Earnings Justify
dividend increases. but the directors
feel they must have a line on next
years business before making liberal
distributions.
BUYING CARS THAT MAKE
LARGE MILEAGE PER GALLON
An important feature of the automo-
bile business is that the high prices Of
gasoline have turned the attention of
the public to cars that make large
mileage per gallon. Companies pro-
ducinE these are increasing their sales,
and, OF necessity. must increase their
factory facilities. Sugar directors hest
tate about dividends. for. If tho war
should end, there would be in a year
an enormous supply of sugar. Big
earnings can I've counted on only as
long as fighting continues. Peace, OH
the other hand. probably would in.
crease the business of the automobile
companies. because OF the enormous
replacement of machines that will be
needed in EuropH, and because the re-
duced cost OF operation resulting from
an end OF the urgent war exports or
gasoline would reduce tho price and en-
courage purchase of cars
Wall Street brokers arc preparing for
peace by getting UP lists OF stocks that
will be affected both favorahly and
adversely. Munition stocks. of course
head the adverse list, although some
are In the other. Automobiles head
the favorable list. Nearly all AIneri-
can manufacturing companies are
looked upon as purchasers in the event
of peace.

Here is an incident of the kind of
people that we sometimes see in
autos. An automobile was stopped
at a crossing by a traffic officer. An
old woman started to cross the street.
When she was just in front of the car
the driver footed his horn, although
he had not been given the signal to
Gloss. It startled the old woman so
she jumped and stood painting when
she got to the sidewalk. The driver
of the car seemed to thinS it a good
Joke; turned to the otheI1 in the car
for approval and they all laughed.
Is it any wonder people are be-
cunning to hate autoists? What are
we going to do about it? Laws are
supposed to be for the benefit of
the majority, but the people we pay
to serve US in the council do not see
it that way. The rights of persons
afoot are supreme, according to law,
but in reality they have no rights. It
is time something was dOne.-B.
