No selling orders appeared, however, althoueh th h...i.S .--,----F-?- R drives at various stocks In order to hurry outside selling along. They cannot ft understand how It Is that peace propositions, excess war tariffs and aLTZ, Cf price-flxlng Co not cause a general selling movement and a wild unsettlemcnt of values. So tor os can bo seen this trading clement is the only group that Is In any way disturbed over prevailing or projective conditions. It Is possible that one eause for the market to hold steady Is that prices, Mewed from a b road I and! point, are low compared vlth past earnings and piesent cash assets United States Steel stockholder are recelvlnB dividends at tho rate of 17 per cent a year on that stock, ami many other security holders are receiving almost a. liberal returns on holdings that may average them a ery low cost.

The advance in tho price of silver to 86 cents an ounce made silver stocks prominent in the trading on tho Brond Street Curb today, hut, although bids were numerous and generally for largo amounts, there was nt tho trao tlmo no Important advances in stock prices. This can bo attributed to tho fact that for years tho market ha been clogged with selling orders In theso stocks, and holders who have been making efforts to market their shares do not comprehend tho Importance of the changed conditions since November, 1314, when silver sold at 47 cents an ounce. Some of tho copper stocks were active, with Butto Copper and Zinc traded In at 94 to 10, and thero was a good demand for Consolidated Arizona, which told In largo volume at 2 and 214.

'A"kt,, ,V"V ') aP it! .eST ' Autobiography of Velie Light Six No. 1 One year and eight months atff, I stood at the inter section of two prominent thoroughfares, awed by the skyscrapers on all sides, crowded from every direction by automobiles of every make and description, but I was lonesome for I was Velie Light Six No. 1. I knew however that my brothers would . soon arrive, for in every city our family ever entered they blazed a trail that led them to brilliant heights of success. Today I stand at the same spot. I represent a great family of motor cars that ranks second to none for en durance, and commands ace high respect from layman and engineer alike. I refrained from boasting until I had something to boast about so today I feel mighty proud, for I have given 51,000 miles of service to my master and I have over One Thousand Brothers in this neighborhood, each of whom continues to add, his share toward maintaining the good name of the Velie family. One of my brand new brothers is ready to serve you. He cpsts $1185, which is $169 less than the average of four cars of similar aze of other families.
