Chicago, June 15-Corn--After drop
ping sharply in the morning. on account
of a forecast for generally favorable
weather, a furry In corn occurred near
the end Of the day, because the Kan
sas City board of trade has prohibited
new trades in the July delivery and has
removed the maximum at which the
settlement Of old trades may be made.
As cash corn sold there today at l!oi
to l,6s and the previous maximum has
been 1.62, the trade here was inclined
to regard the action as Of bullish pur-
port, The principal argument for hlsn
prices now are that cash corn Is sx'
hausted and that nothing will stimulate
production as much as attractive
prices. With economical handling, the
surplus from the old crop will be found
to be sufficient has been the case In
wheat and, if there were any further
necessity for stimulating production
after the planting season is practically
completed, the present price would GER
tatnly be justification for redoubled
productive effort.
Oats-Strength in July oats was the
result Of buying by cash interests and
by spectators, encouraged by this
very large demand Goodman estimates
the crop prospects at 1,45O, 100000 BUSH
els, considerable increase as compar-
ed with the government figures OF

MAXWELL JAR BREAKS THIRD
 ROAD RECORD

By breaking the Montreal-Quebec road record a Maxwell car driven by Ray McNamara, road engineer of the Maxwell Motor company Inc, of De- troit, has established within two weeks three of the most important road records for the Dominion of Can- ada according to Babbitt Poison com pany, local Maxwell distributors.
 Making the run between Montreal and Quebec in four hours and one minute the Maxwell shattered all pre- vious automobile records, and also beat the fastest express trains by fifty nine minutes.
 The record breaking records are:
 Windsor to Toronto-6 hours and 50 minutes.
 Toronto to Moneral-11 hours.
 Montreal to Quebec-4 hours and 1 minute.
 The Windsor Toronto run covered 275 miles. Between Toronto and Mon- treal the car went 360 miles and the distance from Montreal to Quebec is 1S0 miles.
 On the run from Montreal the Max we'll pilot carried an offical greeting from the manager of the Windsor ho- tel to the manager of the Chauteal

HUDSON AUTO COMPANY NOT
 RAISED PR|CE

"Fifty-one motor cars have ad- few months said Cal Messner. The advances are big-from s200 to $700. Visitors to my show rooms have asked me, with some show of suspicion, whether this general rise was not the result of a collusive agreement to ad
 vance prices on the part of manu lecturers and, if so, why had not the Hudson Super-Six advanced with the others.
 "Of course the real situation is that these other manufacturers were forced to raise their prices because of the ad- vances of raw materials. And the Hudson Super-Six escaped the neces- /, sity for advancing price because the
 Hudson company bought it's raw ma , terials at the market of a. year ago ! when prices were less than half whal , they are now.
 !. "When our present stock is ex. I hausted, and it is vanishing rapidly , the SuperS Six, too. will have to ad
 vance it's prices.
 Prices will never be so low on Su- per-S Sizes for years to come as the,
 are now, for raw materials will con-
 tinue to mount higher and higher : When the huge demands for steel, cop. per, rubber, cotton and leather for wal purposes are ended by peace, the de
 mands for reconstruction purposes |, [ rebuild devastated areas will exceed even those of war
 Tt will be only a short time before

 There were no accidents to the mo- tor car and the Maxwell engine per formed marvelously on. all of the runs The average speed of the Maxwell on the last inter- city run was 45' miles an hour.
 While establishing these magnifi- cent records McNamara has been log ging the roads of the Dominion and the information is being published for the benefit of Canadian motorists.
 ''The road while winding and dottel with dangerous curves has a magnifi- cent surface that would be perfectl 7 safe for touring in a rain storm" de- clared McNamara, who stated that the Montreal Quebec highway was by far the best in the Dominion.

'IN'AR7HUR BROTHERS CONTRACT
 FORWONDERFUL NASH CREATION

From the men who have previously been associated with him MT. Nash swiftly assembled a strong organiza- tion. They are all men of long eX- perience and proved ability, engineers and merchandiZers of highest calibre As Nash distributors came men of high financial responsibility who had made big profits before under Nash leadership and as proof of their con- fidence in him and his organization, gave up other lines which they had r'~en handling successfully to take over Nash contracts. Thus in a remarkably short time was perfected one of the most complete manufacturing and selling organizations in the business
 Meantime the engineering depart. ment was hard at work on a new Nash car. Into it's makeup they have put
 good materials and excellent work manship. By applying the most mod
 ern principles of motor car practice
 they greatly simplified its mechanism Now, thoroughly tested and bearing the stamp of approval of the Nash
 organization, this car, a year after the
 formation of its parent company, is about to be announced to the buying public
 There has been much speculation as to the number of cylinders, size and price of the car but owing to the fact that MT Nash has built cars of vari- ous types and prices it is almost i'm | possible for even the trade to guess with any degree of accuracy the type | of the new Nash car
 | McArthur Brothers are among tn. l twenty nine distributors who placed 1 orders for s37 ,O0O, 900 worth of the cars The first showing of the new Nash ] will be some time in September.

Even back in the days when the au- tomobile lurched along on one cylin- der, c. w. Nash, then in the carriage manufacturing business aspired to build a motor car bearing his own name
 For twenty five years he has been building and selling carriages and au- tomobiles During that time he has seen the motor car industry outgrow it's cradle and watched it rise from a small, discredited beginning to the proud rank of third industry in the United States. In it's rise he has played a leading role, having headed some of the largest and most success ful automobile companies in the United States.
 But his lifelong ambition is soon to be full realized. For he is just about to formally announce the birth of a car that bears his name and reflects n <pnr. 4ce and ideals The work which has been accom- ~' lhe ash NotOls company within the duration of a single year could only be achieved by an organi- zation composed of experts in their line mer who knew their plans were right and went ahead.

 FIND C0RD
 TIRES SAVE

Cord tires effect a saving of at least twelve per cent in power, according 10 data compiled by engineers of the Firestone Tire & Rubber company Practical tests again and again have proved the superiority of cord tires as ito power saving as well as long mile age, but until Firestone engineers de Nised an accurate laboratory test. the exact saving in power was not known, according to Ed Rudolph, local Fire stone agent.
 The Firestone tests were made under varying conditions and loads and were checked against error several times before they were accepted as final. In almost everN. case the cord tire con stunned only S5 per cent as much power as the fabric.
 Translated into popular terms, says A. G. Partridge, general sales manager of the Firestone company this conservation of power means in creased speed in racing cars and a saving of gasoline in the ordinary pass enger car In practical tests the value of cord tires to the auto racer has been shown many times Eight worlds rec ords already have been shattered on Firestone Super Cords within the pres ent racing season.
 In a scientific analysis of the cord tests the engineers pointed out that the power lost in the fabric tires is consumed by the greater resistance to fleXing and is transformed into heat. The fabric tire supports much of the weight of the car instead of acting merely as a resistance to the air pressure within, while the cord tire makes the air column do the work. " Hence, the cord tire is able to deliver more of the power received from the motor to the road.
