NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-Trading in stock for the greater part of the short weekend session was ovcrshadOWed by steady buying of Liberty 312s, which sold at the highest quotation in his tory, closing at 100.50
 Dealings in this issue were relative ly more extensive than in the 4s and 4l4s. which were barely steady. After the markets close, 100.60 was bid for the 212s with 101 asked.
 Steels and investmnt issues showed variable recessiOns at the close. Spe- cialties and other volatile stocks were less a-:tve but General Motors retained much of it's F point advance.
 ShippinSs were represented by Ma rine common and preferred. both clos ing at gains. Coppers, tobaccos. oils and war accessories were resitant.
 Canadian Pacific declined Il points. Other rails were inclined to yield frac- tionally. Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
 Last weeks heavy expansion of ac- tual loans was offset by a decrease of S31 ,333 900, member banks losing al most Sl1 100000 in cash held by the local federal reserve bank. Another decrease in excess reserves reduced the total of that item to little more than $30.000 900

USED CAR DEMAND INCREASES

The discontinuance of the manufac- ture of all passenger automobiles dur ing the duration of the war has been advised by the war industries board at a recent meeting at Washington. Ii is proposed, however, that this new schedule shall not go into effect until January 1, 1919.
 That this drastic step in the manu- fracture of new cars will inevitably place great demand for dependable used cars of all makes and will ma terially increase the price of second hand cars besides causing raise in price of the present new automobiles IS the opinion of the Ferguson keeler company and all those who are in a position to know the situation.
 In order to protect the farmer and producer especially, Woodbury, man aser of the Ferguson -Keeler used car department, has arranged to make a i special proposition to these people of the Salt River valley, whereby they can now make arrangements to select a good used car at the prevailing low prices on very easy payment plan.

John B.. better known throughout Arizona as Jack White, will be tn, republican candidate for state mining inspector and his friends say that whatever may be the normal demo- cratic majority in the state, he will be the mining inspector after January of next year.
 He has made a record as a candidate that has been unsurpassed in Arizona He served for five years IS d republi can sheriff of the democratic rock-rib bed county of Cochise and it was in the time when it was most rock-ribbed. He was good sheriff and he might have continued in that office indef- initely, but before he became a sheriff he was a mining man; that is. a worker in mines. and then the owner of small mines in which he employed other men.
 He is known among all the mine workers. that is. those who have been here longer, and he enjoys their good will. He has record for Squareness that will appeal to all, even those who are not particularly interested in mines, but are interested in the fair administration of public offices.

MULE CASE HEARD.
 PENDANTS WIN

The greater part of the day in Jus tice Wheeler's court yesterday was taken up by the mule case of Light foot against Brown. The plaintiff had rented a mule to the defendant. One night the animal caught it's shoe in the halter and was thrown. In it's struggles if so injured itself that a week later it died.
 IL was found though that no negli- gence of the defendant contributed to the misadVenture of the mule which in the same circumstances might have met with the same kind of an accident under the control of the plaintiff and judgment was rendered for the de- fendant
