STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

The stock market showed real signs of a covering movement and advanced all along the line excepting a lull in the motors caused by break in Sax on. This only proves the inadvisabil- ity of trading in new issues which have not been tried out Think ad visable to wait for a setback from this level. One must remember that Steel has now had a en-point break and the weeks news of bad earnings is a thing
 of the past
 Some want to hold back pending war
 taxes but it should be- remembered that the government is not an instru-
 ment easily influenced in conspiracy ever authorize will not amount to any thing compared with what they will
 earn for long time to come. Buy Crucible Steel and the Ann. Loco. right now before the market gets
 away from you.
 For the first time there has been free trading in Liberty Bonds and ap- parently those who had them for sale at the subscription price are out as fairly large blocks were taken at that price with subsequent sales fraction ally higher.
 Until Washington threshes out ques- ton of price control and until July disbursements and liberty loan financ- ing is back of us, Ve cannot expect any broad speculation It is evident however, that there is no pressure tc sell securities.

CHEVROLET MAKES
 FINE RECORD IN

After plotting the official trail blazer for the San Francisco Ad club motor caravan across the continent and finish ing third in the Chicago 25G mile auto- mobile derby last Saturday, R. c. Du- rant, vice president anG s;.IeS manager of the Pacific coast Chevrolet factory, returned to the plant Wednesday mcrn- ing.
 Durant related graphic story of the drive to St Louis in the Chevrolet which was the only car to negotiate the itinerary of the Ad club caravan on it's own power; the only machine to tarveI from California to St. Louis without shipping by rail.
 Aside from the great hardShipS un- dersone by the crew of the car in natt- !iES through rain and snow, hall and mud, across seven states, there WeIe many humorous incidents on tho. triT which Durdnt -aYs served to keep up the spirits of his conI:an-ons, A. l.. Plughoff. G. A. Buckingham and Freq Conner as well as himsel.

The Peeklo-Cord Motor company is the name of the new firm which suc- ceeds the Mckinney Cord company as state distributors for the Paige Detroit automobile. The Mckinney Cord com pany has recently dissolved partner ship, the first named retiring from the firm. The new organization will con- tinue the affairs of the former com pany along more extensive lines, the company being a state wide organiza- tion, having branch agencies in all the larger cities of the state.
 MT. Pecklo, the new member, has for the past several weeks been in charge of the Paige distributing office at Tue son. During his stay of two and one half months there he made a record of selling nearly 50 new machines.
 George Mckinney, who has retired from the firm, has already left for Los Angeles, where he will probably engage in the automobile business.

 According to Durant, there is noth- ing like strenuous tour such as that made by the Chevrolet trail blazer tt get a man in condition for a contest on the speedway. This fact was evidenced by his showing at the wheel of Barney Oldfieids Delage when he won third at Chicago Saturday, finishing less than minute behind the winner. One tire change cost Durant the race. If he had not been forced to stop at the pits, he would have beaten Cooper by almost the same margin that the winner beat him.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings IN Al

New York, Sept. 1.-THE course Of
the stock market was governed large

Of a comparatively small group OF
specialties and low priced railroad

peared to be confused, and in the alb.

At the outset a cheerful tone pre-
vailed and there were appearances or
short covering. This tendency dlsap-
peared. however, when 1t became ap-
parent that the demand was light and
the market was sensitive to pressure.
Early gains, amounting to point or
more in the cases of various represent
tative issues, were lost and in the aft
ernoon a general downward trend de-
veloped. The motor and motor &C
cessories stocks were especially heavy.
General Motors were sold steadily and
fell off more than seven points, only

Rubber and Goodrich broke sharply.
Pullman continued its decline and
marked weakness appeared in Sears

In the railroad list the weak point was
again New Haven, which slumped
three points to new low record at
81 IL.
