DESCRIPTIONS OF new FORD CAR
PRECEDE APPEARANCE FEW DAYS

Four wheel brakes, standard selec-
tive gear transmission extraordinary
acceleration speed of 60 miles an
hour and more, practically vibra-
tionless engine, and unusual beauty
in line and color are among the out
standing features of the new Ford
cards, the first of which will be
shown in many parts of the country
next Friday. The generator, oilfng
system, steering gear and rear axle
are of new Ford design, it is an
nounced. And its 40 horsepower
engine has been so designed that it
runs 20 to 80 miles an hour on a
gallon of gasoline.
This car, which is to succeed the
famous model T line, will be shown
on Friday by Ford dealers in many
of the larger cities of the country.
In Douglas, photographs and de-
scriptive charts of the new car will
be on display at the Byron Dieckman
showrooms, where the public will be
given a complete story of the new
Ford car. Later, various models OF
the new Ford line will be on display
here.
So far the new cars have been
examined only by those who will have
charge of the first showings and

demonstrations. Statesmen and DEM
onstrators are studying charts and
diagrams which will be used in
explaining the various details of de-
sign, appearance and performance.
Fer months factory models of the
neN car have been undergoing severe
performance tests in and around De-
troit. One of these factory models
recently made road run of 100 miles
in 124 minutes. This run, it is said,
was made on an ordinary paved
highway near Detroit
Local dealers, in commenting on
the forthcoming show, said their first
view of the new Ford car had sub
stantiated Henry Ford's statement
that ''there is nothing quite like it
in quality and price"
'Mr. Ford's statement had prepared
us for a surprise" said the local
dealer, "but the new ~ord car is
better even than we had hoped for.
1t is certain to make history in the
automotive industry, just as its pre-
decessor, the model r, has made
history for 20 years. We are proud
of the new car and feel certain that
its appearance and performance will
attract unprecedented attention
among automobile owners"

FROST AND RUST NEWS

Cold Weather in Canada Leads to

By the Associated Press.

, CHICAGO, August S.-Frost at sew

upturn in wheat values today. Worse

the Canadian border were an addi-
tional stimulus to the buying side.

wheat ran up quickly all around. Corn
and oats strengthened also. corn start

scoring a sharp general advance. Pro-
visions were easy.
With frost reports at hand from

west, wheat today took a lively up
ward swing and corn rose to the high
est point which December or March
delivery has yet touched this season.
Rumors were in circulation that as
much as 10 degrees of frost had been
experienced at some places in SaS'
katchewan. Meanwhile, black rust
news from Minnesota and the Da-
kotas appeared much more pessimis-
tic than of late.
A leading crop observer who is tour
ing in the Northwest wired that as
a result of black rust the wheat straw
in many fields of the Red River Val
lev is falling and farmers are cutting
the crop prematurely. He also re-
ported that kernel shrinkage Is show

TREND DOWNWARD
IN STOCK MARKET
Steady and Persistent Pres.
sure Against the
"PivotaI" Shares.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August S.-Steady
and persistent pressure was exerteG
against the stock market directly
from the start of business today. Fol
a time the efforts, evidently those OF
professional spectators, had "a con
siderable measure of success. The so
called pivotal stocks came down, not
sharply but readily enough. General
, Motors. United States Steel, Allied
Chemical. Thinker Roller Bearing
and Atlaptic Refining. to mention
only few, all sold off.
The decline was not uniform, how.
ever. The independent steels resisted
under the leadership of Bethlehem
which finally developed independent
strength and sold up to the highest
since 1924. Crucible rallied with
Bethlehem and the decline in United
States Steel was checked. Elsewhere
IN the market the tone was heavy,
notably in the motors and rails.
No Excuse i'm News.
For the early selling there was no
excuse in the news. Money renewed
at 3A per cent and was in abundant
supply. The weakness, such as it

ton and to the revelation the market
itself had over last week that it was
not invulnerable. The decline in Gen
eral Motors brought that stock back
practically to the low of the opening
following the Coolidge announcement
ChrySler, for time, was strong, but
sold off later on with the rest of the
list. Hudson lost ground with General
Motors, and Thinker Roller Bearing,
which sometimes moved with the mo-
tors and sometimes with the equip
ments, broke nearly five points.
The rails proved almost as suscept-
fble to offerings as the industrials.
Southern Pacific, New York Central,
Atlantic Coast Line, Northern Pacific
and Chicago & Northwestern all show
ed the effect. Texas Pacific was down
at one time nearly two points and
Delaware & Hudson more than two.
The poor showing made by the June
earnings statements in comparison
with the same month a year ago
could hardly been the reason for the
weakness, inasmuch as those facts
were as well known last week as
today.
Bulls Abandon Oil.
GlIOA - " blu up Tic OiiS NClC dDdil-
doned. All the leading issues, in
Guiding Atlantic Refining, which had
been the leader on the upward move
ment, weakened today. It was more
than ever plain that the only founda-
ton for the advance in this part of
the list had been short covering.
Trade sentiment was as pessimistic
as ever.
In connection with the strength in
Bethlehem Steel the suggestion was
made that dividend action onthe COM
mon was scheduled for later in the
year. Bethlehem earned over 81
share in the first six months of 1927,
and assuming continuance OF
reasonable prosperity in the steel
trade, a dividend rate of 81 or SIS
would not be out of the way. In
c'dentally predictions as to the
Autumn iron and steel business today
were very confident.
