ITALY's AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY.

Italian automobiles have had large export de-
mand from the early days of the industry The manu-
facure of motor vehicles stimulated by the
and the conclusion of hostities found Italian makers
prepared to supply the foreign market with larger
numbers of cars than In the past ten years,
from 1911 1920 inclusive the countries in which the
market for Italian has shown especially notable
growth Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, British India,
Holland Egypt, Algeria Portugal, Norway, Denmark
and Greece. England in the same decade increased its
imports from o3o Italian cars in 1911 to 1908 in 1920
but Italian automobiles have always met with favor in
Great Britain which, except 1917 1918 and I9Io took
than did any other country. The German Rus
sian and Rumanan markets for Italian had dis
appeared by 1920, when there records OF ex-
ports - ..
Italian automobile interests point to the fact that
they have built up and maintained good outlets in
countries like England, France, and the United States
where imported cars have to compete vigorously with
automobiles of domestic make, especially designed to
meet the needs of home markets.

by the Department Of Commerce last week. This
represents an increase the March shipments of
2o8,67I barrels, but decrease from the February
and January exports of 3oS623 and 275o74o barrels,

FINANCIAL AND TRADE SUMMARY
Stock Market LiStleSS.

THE New York Stock Exchange was listless and
i exceedingly uninteresting, being utterly de-
void OF trading features throughout the whole
OF last week. the only evidence OF strength being
shown by Mexican oil issues, which gains, however,
wiped out during the closing periods.
Professional traders dominated business with sue
cessve attacks by short interests it being plain that
the bears being forced to cover Motors and
steel stocks suffered during the period in ques-
tion, while rails also sought lower averages. Indus
trials ruled practically unchanged to fractional losses
President Harding's opposition to an import duty
oil, made public Tuesday had disquictng effect
the market and promptly killed a rally which was
in process OF formation.
Call money scored advance to Ga per cent
during the past week, this rate prevailing for the
first time since June 9, last.
Cotton
Trading in the cotton market during the past
week represented a succession OF ups and downs,
with the declines holding the edge Foreign dispatches
from Liverpool and Manchester responsible for
practically all the gains registered, while combina-
ton of heavy Southern selling and continuance of
favorable weather in the cotton belt steadied trans
actions and prevented gradual gains.
The amount of cotton consumed. according to the
Census Bureaus report shows 46I bales consumed
in June against 43o884 for May, as contrasted with
s555 for June last year. with 32665ooo active spin
dies in operation against 34,457,ooo year ago.
Grains.
The grain market made the most favorable show
ing Of any during the past week, the bulk Of wheat
news favorng the buying side. Damage reports
from the Northwest which were backed with buying
ORDERS with reports of severe drought in Europe
gether with apprehension OF reduced yield, both
in North Dakota and in the Canadian Northwest led
to rather free buying with strong commission houses
on the purchasing side.
In the closing periods Of the week, wheat headed

General Crop Summary.

Crop conditions for the week ending July re-
ceved by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates,
from its field statisticans in the different States are
follows:
The corn crop is generally making good growth
and the condition is reported to be favorable How
ever, rain is needed in many sections and serious
damage will result if the drought continues much
longer. Local showers have greatly benefited the
crop in many districts and fields generally clean
and well cultivated The crop tasseling through
out the Central and Northern States.
The harvesting of winter wheat is nearing COM
plcon in the Central States and making good prog
ress in the northern tier of States Threshing is in
full progress and varying yields are reported rang
ing from poor to good Small poorly filled heads
and much shrveled grain reported from many
sections From some States there more favorable
reports for instance in Nebraska threshng returns
continue to show higher yields than were expected,
and in Western and Northwestern Oklahoma some
good yields reported.
The spring wheat crop shows considerable dete-
roration due to heat drought and rust The crop is
doing fairly well in Washington although more mois-
is needed -
The outlook for the cotton crop is improving in
some sections, although the plants are generally
small and wecvils very numerous. Most OF the
carly fruit appears to have been destroyed by the
weevil in Mississippi Inc high temperatures nave
restricted weevl deprcdaons in Texas. Excessive
rain in some sections of South Carolina is causing
abnormal growth of stalk at the of the fruit
Potatoes,
The Irish potato crop, especially the early one,
has been damaged by the heat and drought Where
recent rains have broken the drought, the late crop
shows improvement The outlook in South Dakota,
Idaho, Montana and Washington is quite favorable

feeling was intense against him on the part of the Italians who believed that he was deliberately throwing the race away Wagner's explanation was that his mechanician signalled three times that the left rear was flat and the change was accordingly made, but the men in the Pirelli pits main- tained that the tires had normal air pressure when taken off Two more changes were made by Wagner, one being for a blowout and the other because the tread was worn away completely The fact that Wagner lost the race was undoubtedly be- cause of his tire trouble.
 The service given by the Pirellis used OF the Ballotts was all that could be expected, the winning cars finishing with tires that were good for several hundred miles more. Ii has been argued pro and con among those connected with the event that tire trouble encountered by the Flats was due to the higher center of grav- ity of these cars. Fiat engineers deny this strenuously, claiming that theil cars are not over one inch higher than the Ballotts, the frames on tht latter being 14A inches from the ground, while the Flats stand 15 7-1t inches. That big straight side tires made steering difficult, all admit, and Goux used Pirelli clincher 32.6x4.: fabrics on tha front wheels aftel

idea. Both De Palma and Chassagne adhered to the straight side through out the race.
 That the 1S3 cubic inch limit is too high for racing purposes is being discussed by those connected with the racing game, the fact being brought out to light that the 1923 Indianapolis race will be run with cars of 122 cubic inch displacement. If this is done, it will mark the fifth time that Indianapolis has reduced engine sizes It is freely conceded that the development of 122 cubic inch en- zines would prove valuable con- tribution to motor car engineering and it is thought possible to design a car of this engine size that will turn a speed averaging 90 miles per hour, with consistent light weight of approximately 1,70o pounds.

 were reached, Frederick in French 1 Bugatti averaging 72 miles per hour | There were 13 competitors in this event, four Bagattis. three Italian i Chiribiris, Four Italian O. Ms, one | Silvani and one Restelli, the latter 1 two being Italian cars also

WHEEL TRUCK
 REACHES COAST

To demonstrate the practicability and efficiency of a new type of motor truck, a big six-wheel Goodyear truck .of special design, and built according to the specifications of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company has just reached Los Angeles from Akron, Ohio, with load of Goodyear Wingfoot Heels for the Los Angeles factory of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of California. The truck is equipped with eight-inch Goodyear pneumatic truck tires and has drive from all four rear wheels.
 The total time consumed in making the cross country journey was IT days, hours, 55 minutes-while the actual running time was days. Il hours and 15 minutes-or an average of 16-6 miles per hour for the 2.eS9- mile journey The total load of the truck and cargo was 1S.4Q0 pounds F. w. Litchfield. vice president of the Goodyear factories, in speaking of the development of this type of truck, said during his recent visit to the Los Angeles factory, Tn the early days of development of pneumatic | truck tires 1t was considered neces- sary to build tires of gigantic pro- portions for use on the larger trucks
 in order that they might successfully
 carry the loads.
 "The Goodyear Tire and Rubber company has been constantly experi- 1 menting in order to improve truck transportation and this new six 1 wheel truck is the result.
 Working along practically the same lines on which the present day l giant locomotives are being built. i with the drives emanating from sev- s eral small drive wheels instead of
 from a few large wheels, we have de-
 signed this truck with six wheels. all
 of which are equipped with 8-inch
 Goodyear pneumatic truck tires. The
 drive comes from all four rear wheels.
 "There Is every reason to believe from the records which this truck
 has established over all sorts of road and travelling conditions that the six wheel motor truck has solved the problem of present day truck trans portation.

Roller bearings were used exten- siveIy in the Flats, the crankshaft being carried in 10 bearings of this type. Valve operating gear and con- meeting rod ends were also carried on this type of bearing, while the fabrication was by pressure with a dry pump. Four point sltspensi char acterized the motor mounting and the gearbox was a unit with the motor. Water circulation was by pump, with cold air draught carries through the crankcase While no authentic infor- mation has been given out as to the actual power of the racing Fiat, it is declared that the maximum of 112 horsepower is developed at about 4,30O revolutions per minute. Springs are underslung, the drive and torque being taken through them. The final gear ratio. used in the race was 14- 52, while the Ballots raced with 2 14-45. Both Flats and Ballotts were equipped with 33x5 tires.
 Of interest to tire men is the in formation concerning the tires used in the race Tho new Pirelli straight side cord was equipment on all cars, 39x5 size being used. Wagner, after making three laps had to change tires due to a puncture. A leaky tire valve necessitated another change after the fourth lap Three left rear tires were then changed in quick suc- cession which caused him to lose sev- en minutes, but which he later made up.
 Three of the tires changed by Wag- ner were found to be neither punc- tured or blown out, and for time

MILLER RECEIVES
 WORD IF MAXWELL
 MICH. VICTORY

Charlie Miller, sales manager of the R. D. Roper company, has just received word that a Maxwell tour ing car has successfully climbed Bickford hill, near Hanover, Mich.
 Bickford hill has successfully de- fled the efforts of motorists for years. It is 500 feet long with 21 per cent grade and a road bed of dry sand eight inches deep.
 Carrying three passengers, the good Maxwell made the ascent in second gear. despite the fact that the hill has not received rain in five days. which made the sand very dry.
 The feat was then successfully re- peated with four passengers. So great was the impression made upon the passengers that all went before a notary public and made affidavits concerning the performance.
