tone of stocks at the opening oil today $

division. a few noteworthy additions to
recent gains being registered. Oils, feathers
and textiles rose from fractions 10 | and
IL points, but this advantage was for
fcitod when several OF the motor and equ ip-
mcnt iss,ics fell. back. The market be-
came listless within the first half-hour,
trading dwindling to slender proportions.

rallving from their early irregllarity.

~ Soon AVAILABLE

lWifh'the rcports.tllc first of the
month Of the Wholesale gasoline
dealers to County Clerk Maupin.,
there will be possible, a true list
of the retail dealers of Madison
county. At present there are
many believed not to be register
ed, according to the new state
law. which became effective une
18th.
Many of the wholesalers are reg
istered and apparently are keenly
interested and DESTROYS of obey
ing the law, however, it is said
that. there are some retail dealers
who are reluctant about register
ing. Whether this is from lgnor-
ance OF the law is not known. At
the meeting Of the officials of the
state together with the oil COM
pany officials soon, it is expected
that the situation will be cleared
relative to the, retailers and some
explicit instructions sent out. Mr..
Maupin is of the poinion that all
! dealers are anxious to obey the
l1aw, but there are a number whom
lit is believed, have not registered.
According to tfe law, the new
tax will be collected the past part
of June, on July 1st, and there
after reports of dealers will be
made at the end of each month
land collections made according to
the sales reported. This will be
the case unless there is a change
in the Instructions sent out from

SOMEONE'S KIDD|N'
SAY AUTO DEALERS

A number f Richmond automobile
dealers are of the opinion that they
are being "kidded,' in every sense
that the slang word applies, for they
have been promised better shipping
facilities for some time, yet the i'm
provement in conditions has not come.
The mysterious and supposed to- be
encouraging reports issue from here
and there and indications are that
there is a propaganda out that is on
the Job with everything except pro
ducing the goods. There are appar-
emily no better prospects this week
for an improvement in the conditions
as to shipping than a week ago, yet
reports are still creeping in to the
effect that the conditions are "getting
better"
There have been few machines
shipped to Richmond during the pres
ent sumrner. In the first place it was
the congested conditions-then the
shortage of coal and the giving over
of transfer rights to the coal pro-
ducers-then the grain cars, all of
which have reached home, it is de-
ciared, still the scituation is the same
The railways are apparently very
busy. The strike is not interfering to
any great extent, it is claimed. The
grain cars have all been moved, and
still there is no relief. Some of the
dealers are Of the opinion that there
will be no improvement in conditions
this year, with nothing more promis-
ed~than at the present time, which is
"the situation is improving"
