PACKARD Twin SIX
RUNS $1,000 MILES

Charles L. Huston, president of the
Lukens Iron and Steel Company. of
Coatesyille, Pa. is the owner Of a
Model 1876 Packard Twin-Six Limou-
sine
The Wilmington branch of the
Packard Company wrote Mr.. Huston
the other day requesting that he send
his car to them for thorough in
inspection and in his reply of Febru-
AIRY &c Mr.. Huston states. that while
he should like TO avail himself Of
their kind offer for inspection il is
not convenient for him to do without
the car. inasmuch as it is in excellent
condition after having run a little
over $4,000 miles.
This is but one Of many excellent
records being made by the Packard
Twin-Six . ri
For those who have not as yet
placed their orders it would be wise
10 do so Immediately. as the freight
conditions will not be relieved for
some time. The Packard factory Of
flcials have requested many Of their
dealers TO run their cars over the
road, aud this is being done in some
cases.

NEW COLrMnIA RECORDs.

IN these days of highly special
lied modernity, II is a novel pleasure
to hear an old-fashioned fiddle record
ing like "Old Zip Coon" just recorded
for the Columbia Company by Don
Richardson.
"Old Zip Coon is a combination OF
that rollicking old-time barn dance,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES" and the plain
tive sweetness OF "Old Folks at Home"
This clever fiddle virtuose has in
iected some OF the mischieyous little
tricks Of the farmer-fddler into this
merry recording that will conjure up
pleasant recollections for those who
have known the wholesome fun of'the
old-time barn dance.
The song hit OF THE Century Girl"
who is supported by such an over
whelming list of Broadway stars:
Elsie Janis. Sam Bernard and others
The Century Girls to be found
among late Columbia recordings.
And Il is sung in most delightful
fashion by Miss Inez Barbour. whose
thrilling sweet soprano voice has
made her ono OF the most popular
artists In the musical recording world.
This tuneful eulogy TO American
femininty is without doubt one OF the
prettlest songs sung on Broadway.

THE first few years Of automobile
development were naturally along the
line of making the motor car reason

lowed by a period in which the big
task was that of bringing down the
cost of the automobile through large
scale production and standardizing Of
parts and processes.
Nov that this work has been done.

During the next three or four years
we look for a marked Improvement in
the style Of all motor cars. but notably
In the medium priced field Acting on
this belief the builders Of the LeXing-
ton have for the past two seasons
paid special attention to the style
features OF their cars The result is
that people who are not making
encyclopedias of automobile prices, us
ually place the Lexington price higher
than it is, when they see the car for
the first time.
while we believe that competition
will again reduce prices when the con-
ditions now prevailing have passed
away,lwe do not look for a general re-

TURTLE AND CATS
LIVE TOGETHER

A turtle, a Mr.. Thomas Cat. his
wife, and a litter OF kittens make up
a bizarre family that is dwelling in
peace and contentment at the home
OF W. II. Warren, who lives near
Fifth and King streets. According to
the story the turtle is on amicable
terms with the whole family. The
home of the brood is in the bottom Of
a keg and at night the whole gather
ing lies down side by side in the
most peaceful harmony.
When the mother cat goes out for
stroll the turtle crawls over to the
kittens and they contentedly lie down
underneath the shell OF their self
constituted guardian and go to sleep.

LACK 1oOPPORT
AND SMALL DEMAND
Invites New Bear Pres
sure in the Stock q
Market

New York, September 15.-A diminished
demand for stocks today led to resumption
OF speculative selling and prices were
again depressed, although losses in most
instances were small. Trading was light
and the disappearance Of the strengths
which characterized yesterdays market
was due less to aggressive bearish tactics
than to absence OF support
At the opening price changes were small
and irregular with no appearance of
initiative on either side of the market.
The bears moved with caution in view
of yesterdays display of strength, and
made little effort to influence prices I'M
til it became apparent that few buying
orders were on hand. Stocks then came
on the market in greater supply and the
list eased off. Quotations stiffened in
the second hour. but the rally was
not held and the close was heavy.
The renewed heaviness of the market
apparently was due principally to profess
sional selling, although the days news
contributed to this end. Petrograd dis
patches indicating new complications In
the Russian political situation, reports of
the presence of hostile submarine In
the western Atlantic and reports that
Industrial taxation will be largely In
creased tended to depress the market.
The chief weakness appeared in the
coppers, steels and a few other industrials
Motors were relatively strong. In the
railroad section opera tons were light and
movements small. Reading, Louisville
and Chesapeake and Ohio showed
strength.
Rates on some foreign centers fluc-
tuated to a degree unusual for a half
day session of the exchange market.
Rubles continued to reflect a good in
curry, rising to II. The quotation for Tires
jumped Is points to 100 on Washington
reports of further important successes for
the Italian arms The bank statement
showed further contraction in loans of
nearly S26000,000, rejecting the week s
liquidation in stocks. Surplus reserves
decreased $11, 413,000.
Bords were irregular. Total sales par
value, $,235,000. Liberty bonds sold at
1886 to 100. United States bonds were
unchanged on call on the week.

BETTER WEATHER
THAN EXPECTED
Encourages Bears in the
Corn Market-Price of
Oats Off

Chicago, September 15.-xNearly ideal
weather and an increase of rural Of
ferings furnished much Of the impetus
today for a decided downward swing
which took place in values of corn
The market closed heavy, IL @2Hc net
lower at s1.16% @116A December, and
$114A @1.14% May. Oats finished ~ a
I1Ao off. Provisions gained 10@45c.
High temperatures prevailed over all
important corn states. and there was
no rain of consequence. The fact that
such conditions were Just the kind for
ripening the crop made an instant i'm
preston on traders. Bearish sentiment
deepened after the issuance of the gov
eminent weekly forecast indicating gem
orally fair weather and seasonable
warmth for the next three or four days.
Weakness in the cash market was like
wise in favor of the bears, and all the
more so as to the accompanying en-
largement of country offerings to ar
rive had been in response to bids from
here which were per cent lower than
yesterday. Continued peace gossip to-
gether with reports that German sub
marine was operating off the New Eng
1alnd coast tended further to handicap
the bulls. No important reaction de-
veloped, and the market closed at al
most the lowest point of the day.
Oats weakened with corn. seaboard
advices implied that yesterdays ex-
port sales exceeded 100000 bushels,
but this circumstance failed to count
in the absence of any fresh demand
from the east. Besides, predictions of
larger receipts were current.
Milling orders for wheat here con-
tinued to be far in excess of the ar
rivals. The total receipts for the week
in Chicago were only about one-third
| of the amount at the corresponding
time last year. other domestic termi-
nails also reported a decided shortage.
| At Winnipeg, however, receipts sur
| passed to a liberal extent the figures
of 1917.
Bullish estimates of the amount Of
recent purchasing for Belgium gave
strength to provisions. Another ele-
ment of hrmness was an expected
scarcity of hog supplies here next
week.

Cotton was nervous most OF the day.
1t wanted to go up on storm news. but
received setbacks in the shape Of the
reports of submarines off Nantucket.
These submarines off the summer re-
sorts of the Atlantic coast must be doing
duty in place of our old-time friends,
the sea serpents. notwithstanding these
reports and the selling thereby engen-
derec the markets closed at a net adj
vance Sor the day. The real strength
lies in the refusal of farmers to make
concession in price and increasing evil
dence that the crop will not fulfill early
expectations.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 15.-Irregularity
and nervousness were the main charac-
teristcs of the cotton market here to-
day. There was much weekend evening
up on both sides. and the market had no
decided trend either way, although hard
spots invariably attracted selling which
some brokers put down to hedging opera
tions. At times the tone was steady and
the market did not have any real selling
power, due to storm warnings issued by
the weather bureau, and the prospects Of
generally unsettled and showery weather
over Sunday for the greater part of the
telt.
On the opening December was up 4
points, bat other months were down and
in the early trading the market lost IA to
20 points The storm warning for the
Louisiana coast the, south Atlantic
storm warning and the official report of a
tropical disturbance over the Windward
Islands created nervousness among shorts
and inspired buying for long account. A
demand arose which put prices 2 to 10
points over yesterdays close but the
last half hour Of business was featured
by selling pressure which sent prices
to about the lowest of the day. The
close was at a net loss Of 10 to 20 points

New York, September 15.-F1uctuations

The market opened at decline Of to

selling movement which had been In
progress at the close yesterday. There
was bearish comment based on the week
end figures and favorable weekly crop re-
Views, and there were reports that do
nestle mills were showing no disposition
to provide for future requirements of raw
material. Reports that shipping had been
attacked off the New England coast by
a submarine may also have been a fac
tor on the opening break. but the market
soon became frmer on storm news.

Chicago, September 15.--Corn-Sen-
timent was quite bearish last night on
the theory that an advance of 15c from
the low point fully discounted such
damage as may have been done and
certainly cleaned up the short inter-
est. Considerable stress was also laid
on decline in old corn of 10 cents in
two days. We will encounter opposi-
ton to advances from this level, but
