DOGS ARE SPEED-MANIAcs

A startling discovery has just been
reported. Dogs are speed -maniacS.
They like auto-riding because the car
goes faster than they can travel. That's
what motorists will tell you. Now dog
experts are trying Ito find the reason
why.
Many a dog win wait in his masters
machine for any length of time until lie
is taken out for a spin. And he'll stick
to the car under any conditions. They
even like to ride the running boards,
sticking on no matter what the speed
of the auto.

Middle States OIL

Uuder pressure of the heaviest sell
ing that has taken place since their
admission to trading on the big board
Middle States Oil shares tumbled
violently from 20M to 10M, a gross
decline of 1OA points. At IL, the clos
ing quotation, the stock was off on
points from Wednesdays last sale.
Naturally with such a severe decline
there were all sorts Of rumors to ac-
count for the break. There was cne that
an important commission house had un-
limited orders to sell the stock "at the
market" and this firm was credit
ed with having liquidated $4,000 shares
of the more than 100000 turned over
during the day. According to another
report bankers had called large loan
secured by the stock, thus forcing it
on the market at whatever price it
would bring. Officials said that there
was nothing in the company's affairs
to account for the sudden weakness in
the stock P. D. Saklatvala, president
said that operations were progressing
favorably and that earnings were
running far in excess Of dividend re-
quirements. The company's gross pro-
duction, he declared, is approximately
$1,000 barrels of oil day from Okla
homa, Texas and Louisiana.

War Clouds Darken

The spectcr of another European
war in which England and France
may participate hovered over Wall
Street yesterday and gave the bears
another opportunity of feeling out the
market for weak spots. They seemd
to show an uncanny discernment in
picking out stocks in which the margin
accounts we're by no means too secure.
While in previous market sessions the
automobile, tire and other so-called in
ventory issues bore the brunt of the
bear attacks, yesterday they succeeded
in bringing about heavy volume of
liquidation in the oils. Stocks which
had shown resistance in the earlier
days of the week succumbed to the
downward movement and timid holders
dumped their securities for whatever
they would bring. Invincible Oil, in
which strong pool has been working,
dropped from AIS to 35, and closed
IL points off at 36a4. The Doheny
issues, Mexican Petroleum and Pan
American showed losses ranging from
y to 6 points. while other points of
weakness were found in Sinclair, Hous-
ton Oil and Texas Pacific Coal and Oil

WASHINGTON Aug a.-Commer-

June 30 last, according to official re-
ports received here
A total of 2,47S commercial craft
with an aggregate tonnage of S,545 900,

All expenses Of operation and main

report said, indicating a surplus of ST.

previous record surplus.
The report explained, however, that
the canal could not be said to have
made profit" since no consideration
had been taken of interest charges on

cidedly easier for the legitimate COM
panies The speculative gentry got
their money easily, and when they got
out into the oil fields they had no
qualms about spending it freely. The
result was SIS day for common labor
and prices for materials far higher than
the permanent operators felt justified
in paying. In many instances they got
out Of the market, waiting for the gam
blers to bid against one another until
they had no more money. Now they
are going ahead under normal condi-
tions, according to an official of one of
the largest producing companies.

Time Loans Renewed

Although there is yet no evidence
that the banks have loosened their
pursestrings enough to put out time
loans Stock Exchange brokers reported
yesterday that some maturing time
loans are being renewed at a rate
under the figure now bid for new 8 sxtv
and ninety day money. One house
stated that it had been able to renew
some of its maturing time loans at S12
ner cent, which compares with 8 and
912 per cent for new money. This
softening tendency in loans for stock
market purposes has had the effect
of causing Withdrawals of bids now in
the market. IS it is believed that in the
