NEW YORK CURB MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Price move
ments were irregular on the curb
market today. Some of the leading
issues. which were higher at the
start. Were reactionary in the later
dealings, while a number of special
ties developed strength as the session
progressed and held well.
North American Pulp and Paper,
which has been neglected for weeks,
became prominent, showing pronounce
ed activity and advancing about a
point to new high record for a long
time. The buying was general in
character, but it was said that the
move was started by purchases for
inside account.
Wright Martin was less active than
on Monday and fuctuated over a
range of about a point. Indian Pack
ing scored fractional advance. Gen.
eral Asphalt moved irregularIy. A
steady tone was shown in Retail
Candy. Aetna Explosives. United
States Steamship and many others
International Petroleum was the
feature of the independent oil list.
Urgent buying orders caused an up
turn of about points. but there was
a later recession on profit taking
sales. Royal Dutch rights were again
a shade lower.

UNCLE SAM BUYS SILVER.
100000 Ounces Bought for Phil
adelphia and San Francisco.

Purchase of 100000 ounces of sill
yer at 81 an ounce for delivery at
Philadelphia and San Francisco was
announced today by the director of
the mint. This makes a total of
100000 ounces acquired by the gov
eminent under the authority of the
Pittman act this month.
Treasury officials estimate that 207,-
100000 ounces of silver must be pur-
chased under the provisions of the
Pittman act, but they do not expect
this to increase the price of silver, as
there is little demand for the metal
abroad at this time because several
governments have ceased temporarily
the coinage of silver money.

WORLDS RECORD
MADE BY MILTON

A new worlds record for a mile and
a quarter track was hung up by Tom
my Milton in his Duesenberg last Sun
day at the new Beverly Hills track
near Los Angeles, CAL, when the vet
eran driver won the final 50-niile heat
from large field of racing stars in
26 minutes 81 and 2-10th seconds-an
average speed of Ills an hour.
| Art Klein drove his Peugot to second
place, Pullens' big Richards took third
nonors while Roscoe SarIes by fine
driving finished fourth, just within
the money. The winners of all three
heats made nonstop runs on Good
years.
The race consisted of three 5O-mile
heats--the first four drivers finishing
in each heat qualifying for the finals.
In the first heat Art Klein drove his
Peugot across the line winner, closely
followed by Milton's Duesenberg, Boy
er's Frontenac and Hearne's Chevrolet.
Klein's average speed was 110.8 miles
an hour.
The newly crowned racing king,
Jimmy Murphy, in his Duesenberg
took the second heat, with Pullen in
his Richards in second place, De Palma
with his Ballot third and Roscoe Sarles
in his Frontenac fourth. Murphy
average speed for the distance was
110.7 miles an hour.
Interest in the finals was raised to
fever heat by the terrific speed and
wonderful driving in the first two
heats. The wild-eyed thousands in the
packed stands kept up continuous
din as the races burned up the track
in the furious struggle for supremacy. !
Ralph De Palma led the field until the
38th mile when a tire change delayed
him long enough to keep him out of
the money.
Quick as, a flash Milton forced his
car out Of the van and crossed the line
a winner and the deafening applause
of the. spectators but not until he had
been forced by his rival speed demons
to crack existing marks for mile and
quarter tracks.
