MONEY STRINGENCY
ABATES MATERIALLY
World Wide Relaxation on
Rates and Substantial Re-
cuperation Observed

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Pressure to
lquidate speculative holdings, which
carried prices downward in last week $
counted for by unfavorable news. The
selling was rushed on good news as
well, indicating the conviction of hold
ers that the level of prices had already
anticipated the advantages derived
from those happenings.
general moven1nt assigned for the
liquidation was the disappointment
that a general public demand for
stocks had not developed with the dis
tribution of profits to supply funds
available for investment
MONEY sTRINGENCY ABATEs
The money stringency abated mate
rally in New York, and there was a
worldwide relaxation on money rates
and a substantial recuperation in con-
ditions of the great central reserve
banks abroad. The pressure to sell
stocks diminished as this relaxation
progressed, but no aggressive demand
awakened. The necessity of preparing
for other demands for money in pros
pect was the supposed cause of this
abstention from strengthening the Sc
curities market on the part of large
speculative operators.
In New York large payments soon
must be made of subscriptions to new
capital issues. Belated preparations by
syndicates for making these payments
played an important part in the squeeze
in the money market with which the
year opened. It is evident also that
large sums are being embarked in
enterprises that have no representation
in listed securities. Light, traction and
telephone mergers and great irrfga-
tfon projects are among the enter
prises of this character.
FAVORABLE ADVICES CONTINUE
Favorable advices continue from
most branches of industry. The sub
stantial reduction in surplus stocks of
refined copper for December made a
good impression in that trade Much
of the stock liquidation of the early
part of the week was believed to be
due to adjustments of accounts neces-
STATED by Rock Island disciplinary
measures.
Deeper causes underlying the re-
action were, nevertheless, generaIlv
recognized. The question of relation
between the national government and
corporations was kept in a prominent
place by the introduction of bills in
congress embodying President Taft,s
recommendations and by conferences
between Union Pacific and government
officials looking toward settlements Of
the suits to dissolve the Hartman
merger.

John IL. Eagal Tells of Their
Power to Travel San Fran

By R. R. L,HoMMEp1Eu

''The future of the electric automobile
is assured not only in San Francisco.
but throughout the state and all along
the Pacific coast" said John H. Eagal,
manager of the automobile department
of the Studebaker Brothers. San Fran

has seen an increase in the demand for
the electric cars all over the coast that
has been surprising to the leading man.
been the magnitude of this increasing
demand that in several instances the
factory officials, after making out their
schedules for output of cars. were COM
PEELED to increase these from 1000 to
1000 cars. This was the case with the
Studebakers. according to advices from
the factory officials.
'The increase in the number of cleo
trio automobiles in this immediate vi
cinity has been markedly apparent for
the last few months on both sides Of
the bay. For long time hundreds Of
persons labored under the delusion
that the electric cars were not suited
for this city. but with the influx of

began to be convinced. Almost imme-
diately a market was created that has
been growing with tremendous bounds
all along the coast.
THE economy of maintaining such
vehicles as the Studebaker electrics is
unQuestionable. Their design is not
merely artistic to. most refined point,
but is unique in that it does not COM
pei the owner to pay for and carry
along with him a power plant and bat
terry vastly in excess of his require
ments, which is the case with some
cars in order to meet conditions which
may occur once or twice in three years.
There are many who have had occa-
sion to appreciate the economy of the
former make of cars over the latter
class. That is regarded as one of the
chief secrets of the success of Stude-
baker electrics."

been brought about
by the consistent development of the
various power and power transmitting
elements into a logical road vehicle.
In general design the automobile of
today is development OF the foreign
automobile of five years ago, except
that the six cylinder engine, as in the
Thomas. has become practically stand
ard. The designer has made a constant
effort: To increase reliability: TO sim
plify design, to discard delicate mech
anisms, to eliminate interlOck devices.
to reduce weight through use of better
materials, to reduce cost of mainten-
ance for fuel. fabrication and repairs.
to make the passenger more comfort
able through good spring suspension
and suitable design of bodies.
The one factor which has perha pS
most of all contributed to the develop
ment of the automobile has been the
production. at reasonable cost, of steels
that are exceptionally strong. Closely
linked to this development of better
steels has come the development of the
annular ball bearing. which has helped
to increase reliability.
In the designing of modern motor
car such as the new Thomas, plain
bearings are proportioned TO have long
life, all bearings are of liberal sizes
for the loads thrown upon them. axle
strengths are in proper ratio to the
weights to be carried, and. in general
way the present day automobile is a
combination OF parts that are logically
designed TO take the working stress. so
that today when a man purchases
motor car he can expect so many thou
sands of miles of use with practically
no repairs and he can almost know in
advance the total mileage that his car.
if given reasonable care, will cover.
This most clearly shows the differ
ence between the present day condi-
tions and those five years ago. for In
those times the start of a run might
have been joyful, but the finish was
doubtful.
