COTTON TRADING Is
MAINLY EVENING UP
Market Shows Little Change
and Outside Interest Is at
Minimum.

The cotton market was very little
interest being at a minimum and local
activity restricted to scattered evening
up prior to the Government condition re-
port Wall Street shorts continued to
show some uneasiness, due to bulllsh
character of private condition reports,
but sentiment was bearishly affected by
continued favorable weather over the
cotton belt Yesterdays map showed
little rainfall Temperatures were high
err and prospects for further favorable
conditions seemed good. Liverpool ca les
were steady over the holidays. the Eng
lish market closing 3 penny points lower
to l penny point higher. Manchester
yarn and cloth business was reported
light.
At the opening the local market was 3
points net higher to lower and final
bids were at those levels. Local spot
was off points to 1910 cents. Among
the buyers at the outset were brokers
having Japanese connections. Liverpool
acted both ways while the Southwest
sold little After the call the market
rose about to points. but reacted In
the second hour The general tone was
steady during the middle of the day. In
the afternoon July sold off 10 points
and other options also eased. the move
ment being partly sympathetic with the
drop of securities.
Private crop estimates included the re-
port of A. Norden & Co., which placed
the condition at 81 per cent and made
the reduction in area 29.5 per cent, and
the report of Clement Curtis & Co, esti-
mating the condition at 64.5 per cent.
and the cut in acreage at 30 per cent.
Both reports were about in line with ex-
pectations and had no effect on values.
The average guess of ~ members OF the
local Cotton Exchange on the end May
crop condition was 65.3 per cent. The
market closed steady.

Frantic Buying by Stubborn

tion of Delivery.

CHICAGO. MAY 31.-3In an end of the
month furry prices flew skyward 17lac.
to-day for the May delivery of wheat.
The topmost figure that May wheat has
reached this season, S1.S7 bushel, pre-
vailed at the last minute. when May
contracts expired. Comparatively few
traders. however, were affected by the
sensational advance, Most of the vic
tins were stubborn bear spectators who
had persisted in a mistaken belief that
they could accomplish final settlement
at decline. The market closed ner-
vous, and July, In which most of the
days business was done, showed Nc to
I &c net gain, at S1.2S1a to s1.2s%
Corn closed 11c. net lower to a like adj
vance, oats unchanged to &c. higher
and provisions at setback of 15c to csc.
Notwithstanding that $50 carloads Of
wheat had arrived here since Saturday
the fact speedily developed that little Of
the supply was for sale and that bidders
who wanted any in hurry would have
TO pay dearly for the privilege. The
scarcity of offerings was overcome for
the time being after the market had
risen 121ac. A reaction of 7c. ensued.
but the strain was again apparent later
and in the end the May demand. al
though confined to n few, gave signs of
being nearly frantic. 1t was estimated
that total dealings in May during to-
days session totalled about 10000
bushels.
Ffrmness of the July delivery was
ascribed to sympathy with May and TO
continuance of unfavorable crop reports
despite news of rains. Besides export
call was brisk. Germany. it was said.
taking 81 100000 bushels.
Corn and oats were upheld by the
readiness with which elevators and
shippers absorbed the immense receipts
of corn here-75O carloads. Provisions
were governed mainly by changes in the

PROPER DRIVING .CALLSF0R SOME
 GREY MAT TER
By PLUG SPARKS

Drlv1ng, to some mOtorlslS, means simply sitting at the wheel and pay ing attention to nothing in particular, not even the road ahead. The experi- enced driver takes his task Seriously and when an opportunity is afforded, or perhaps at certain fixed intervals during the drive. the dash instru- ments are watched and reading inter- preted. There is no reason why the driver should have to look at the ann meter, the oil gauge, the radiator meter, etc, more than two or three times a day, but some either look once a week or when they do notice a change of reading cannot make a proper interpretation. One. can tell by readings of the ammeter the con- dftion of the generator to an extent, also the condition of the battery and the circuits, while the oil gauge in a pressure system can indicate a num- Der of things, including bearing con- dition, pump wear And oil thickness, besides its regular duties of showing whether oil is circulating and at what pressure.
 The oil gauge is the most import ant instrument on the car. It indi- cates pounds pressure in the oil line, or if it be on the non -calibrated type 1t simply shows if oil is being pumped
 
 calibrated in pounds pressure the driver has an easier task. On cold mornings he may probably notice that on starting out the pressure is abnor- mally high, and as the car is run, say 10 or 20 minutes, the pressure slowly drops to somewhere around normal This is due to the higher viscosity of oil due to the cold. The thicker the oil the higher the pressure. When you substitute heavy oil for medium or light you get the same results of increased pressure. That is why some why some owners find that in the winter oiling is improved by the sub- stitution of a light oil for medium oI medium for heavy. The heavy oil flows slowly and with higher pressure and does not lubricate well until the motor is hot.
 If the bearings are worn and htDf pressure system Is used, the pressure will drop owing to the reduced resist ance to flow. Tight bearings cause a pressure increase. By watching the gauge therefore one can tell when the bearings are beginning to show signs of wear.
 Sometimes wear in the pump or g slight leak in the gauge will also cause reduced pressure reading. 4 worn pump and more viscous oi will keep up the pressure, just as 6 heavy oil will compensate in meas. ure for bearing wear. When an en- zine is tight, after coming from tht repair shop the pressure should b.
