New York, April 27. Investment
stocks as well as various speculative
issues suffered extreme recessions ot
one to two points in the course of to
day's brief session. - The unfavorable
tenor of foreign advices provoked fur
ther moderate liquidation and short
selling. High grado rails, shinning:;.

Street and Southern selling. Before
th? end of the first hour July con
tracts had sold at 25.20 and October
at 24.75. or 105 to 121 points under

character of J he war news, the failure
of the veather map to show expected

generally mentioned in connection
with the break. ,

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
New- Orleans. April 27. A decline
of more than a cent a pound was the
result of the heavy selling around the
opening of the cotton market here to
day. Liquidation ot long cotton and
offerings from bearish traders who
were unfavorably impressed by the
war news overnight broke the mar
ket. In the first half of business ac
tive months fell 103 to 109 points.
Cotton closed weak at a decline of
134 to 171 points.

Mr. Byrne .was pleased to say that

67 1-2 1 erican motors were far superior to
..94 3-4 European makes and that the Hupmo-
791-2ibilfl. a-monsr others, took first rank
among American motors. He names
as prime esential for a motor using
this particular gasoline substitute an
extremely reliable lubricating system,
valves operating in an oil bath, and
a control capable of fine graduation
for supplying air to the carburetor.
People inclined to become exoited
and see in experiences such as abovy
a prophecy of what we in this country
may come to, should remember the
following facts:
Spain, like England, France and It
aly imports all of her gasoline. It
is not an actual shortage of the prod
ucts that Is causing the difficulty, but
the impossibility of importing it when
ocean transportation is needed so
much more for food and other neces
sities. The United States enjoys the
privilege of being at, or near, the
source of the world's greatest gaso
line supply. This-supply, according
to expert advice from Washington,
gives every evidence of being more
than ample for the world's needs. Fur
thermore, transportation of gasoline,
as far as this country is concern 3d,
is largely taken care of by extensive
pipe lines, .which means that suppli-3
can be widely distributed without se
riously interfering with the transpor
tation of other Vthings Authorities
state posiively that there is no like
lihood of a gasoline shortage in this
country.
