Johnson Tours Over Oil COun-
try and Bumps Through the
Mire Hub-Deep.

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 11.-Ope Of the
most strenuous trips made recently was
that from which Fred Johnson has just
returned. With a Stoddard Dayton So
horsepower touring car Johnson drove
through the San Joaquin valley. He
reached Bakersfield and from there went
10 Fresno. Then he took IN the country
to the north.
One of the most remarkable dcmonstra-
tions OF durability was given by the
Stoddard on this tour. Fast time was
made at every stage and the car gave
no trouble whatever. The machine was
required TO plow through the mud and
Slush
The mountain roads back OF Fresno
were almost impossible. The mire was

where the roads are particularly bad.

AS in every honest inquiry Of in

of machinery must be written off at a

item is fixed quantity. determined by
actual experience.

EDGAR MASON TALKS
''F0REDOOR" STYLE
Manager of Salt Lake Branch
of United Motor Company
Gives His Ideas.

There is no question in my mind but
that the late fore door style in tho au-
tomobie body design is one which has
met with universal approval. II estab-
fishes the year 1911 as the beginning of
a new epoch in the history of tho motor
car body design" says E. e. Mason. man
ager of the Salt Lake branch of the Unit
ed Motor company.
This type OF body Is the direct re-
suit of the recent torpedo. which by
the way never took a prize at any OF
the beauty shows, The torpedo effect
was used first three years ago by the
Mercedes company in Germany and the
Daimler company of England, bodies nav
ing been built by the London Body -Spe-
cialty company one OF the largest and
oldest body works In existence. Due. l
believe. TO the freakish lines or this de-
sign, the torpedo never enjoyed the pop
ularfty that tho fore door has so sud
denly stepped into.
Since the automobile came into prom
incnce we have had styles In bodies, just
as women have in gowns and men have
in suits. Going back to 1900, we find
the following styles have been in vogue:
the curved dash. the straight dash. the
piano box type. the curved line tonneau,
the rear door tonneau. the side door ton
ncaG. and so on down To the late from
Paris or up 10 date straight line body,
with occupants OF the front seat as well
as those of the tonneau protected py full
side doors.
To-day the public demands comfort and
| luxury. and the builder has responded
with body design which has heel
adopted by every manufacturer OF conse-
quence in the world. This straight line
inclosed body has so many appealing fea-
| lures and advantages over the .passe
| types that practically every buyer of the
| day demands this fore door body. ir
which he feels a certain degree Of Sc
curty and protection against storm!
weather.
| "Our present age is one in which tbs
manufacturer must produce the article
| for which the buyer asks. He. having
had the opportunity to read and STUDY
demands This lie must and will have.

FAVORABLE VIEWS IN
 FINANCIAL WORLD Confidence in the Future Is
 Not Disturbed BUYERS VERY ACTIVE Market shows Disposition to Absorb Quickly All the Stocks offered for
 Sale But Trade Is Some
 what Narrow

l New York, January 29.-Develop- ments in the financial situation last week went to confirm the favorable expectations previously held and to keep up confidence in the further pro- gress of improvement. The stock mar ket continued somewhat narrow and largely professional. but its function as mirror of speculative sentiment went on in normal manner. The fact | that news of improvement brought stocks into the market for sale follow ed the inevitable rule of speculative rise at some stage. The volume of new buying encountered and the absorptive power demonstrated by the market were accepted as showing the underly- ing speculative confidence.
 The bond division at the stock ex- change again exceeded in importance the stock division but there also began to show the effects of the amount all ready accomplished The stiffening of the private discount rate in London had its effect in steadying the foreign exchange rate here. The rise in ex- change was the more significant in view of the supply of bankers bills drawn against foreign subscriptions to the New York city bond subscription, which were, however. below expecta- tions. There is no sign of satisfac- ton of the foreign demand for our cotton which was so important fac- tor in international exchanges of last month. Reduction of the British bank rate from AZ to 4 per cent suggested some ease in the monetary tension to that center.
 That ease was maintained In the New York money market directs at tention to the part played in this result by the quiet business conditions in the country, from which lessened borrowing demand follows. Increased investment demand for securities so far as 1t grows out of this, must be balanced against the decline in profita- ble activities argued by the stagnant demand for money as an influence for progress. Reports of reviving demand for some grades of steel products and the advance in wire had a cheering sentimental effect in the promise of continua tion of quiet trade conditions. The growing promise of the cotton
 
 return of cotton ginned made another important item towards the remedy of defects in recent conditions.
 The success of the New York city bond sale had enough qualifying cir cumstances to temper its good effects. The price realized, which reached 100.904, confirmed fully the faith in the improvement in investment demand from capital since last fall. Applica- tons for more than five times the s60, ,000.000 offered the issue being the largest in the history Of the city gives increased force to the demonstration. At the same time the average price for the allotment indicates a higher inter est basis than the preceding AZ per cent issued by the city in March, 1910. or than the four next preceding is- sues from November, 1908, to Decem- Der. 1909. Wouldbe borrowers. in cluding the railroads. are inclined to read in the outcome a necessity for submitting to relatively high interest rates.

DEPRESSION ENDS
 IN COTTON TRADE

Liverpool. January 29.-(Special)-The long period of depression in the Lanca- shire cotton trade has come to an end. Business Is now brisk and both spin ners and manufacturers are busy and seem likely before long to wipe off the losses they incurred during the last year and to accumulate profits
 The great consuming markets abroad, like the home market, have been with holding orders as long as they could in the hope that there would be decline in the price of the raw material and a consequent decline in the price Of the manufactured goods. Their prolonged ac- tion has depleted stocks to the lowest possible limit Now it has become neces- sary to distribute orders freely, and as the information available about the size of last years crop in all parts of the world does not indicate that 1t is on a very large scale, it is felt that there will be no advantage in giving orders on a small scale, as there is no prospect of prices declining to any considerable extent. The consequence is that orders have been received which will keep the mills going at full speed for consid- erable time at rates which are 1alriy remunerative.

BLIND GIRL HOPES
 TO RECEIVE SIGHT

McKeesport, Pa. January 2s.-(special) So great was the eagerness to see Mar garet Shipley the blind girl, in trance, that the street in front of the house was almost impossible today and the street car line was hardly able to carry the number of curious persons who flocked to the house. About 100 persons re- mained about the house all night watch ing shadows on the window shades.
 The blind girl who has promised the world that through fasting and faith she will on Monday night stand before them with her eyes, which have been blind from birth. fully restored. came out of her trance partially toward morning and for few moments exhorted in an unknown tongue without changing her position on the couch. But one word was recognized by those who heard her. It was the word 'Thibet.'
 On being asked as to the significance of this word, Charles F. Halderman, in whose home the girl is, said that before passing into her trance she had said she had been instructed that on re- as missionary.
 The young woman has been fasting since last Sunday night and is said te be very weak. Before passing into the trance she advised MT. Halderman that she wanted 12 persons whom she named to be present when she .regained her sight Monday night. Mr. Halderman de- clines to have anything to do with the test.

FUTURE ACTION IN
 COTTON DISCUSSED Campaign for Higher Prices
 May Be Waged WEATHER IS A FACTOR Should Rain Fall in the West Bears Will Take Advantage of It Re- cause the Rainfall Has Not
 Been Sufficient
WEATHER IS A FACTOR

New Orleans, January 29.-With the last regular census report on ginning of the season out of the way and the size of the commercial crop matter of-no great dispute. the cotton trade is now squarely facing the question of whether there is to be campaign for a rise in the spring
 and summer months or not
 For some time past there have been
 many rumors that a strong bull clique is in control of the May delivery in this
 market, but this story has been laughed down, because it is altogether too early to talk about anyone controlling May. The rumor persists, however, that there will be campaign to begin with the
 May option. If there is any truth in this it ought to come to light this week for the January position will be thing of
 tue past, and February being, as usual, a
 dead month, interest is necessarily thrown
 into March and May. There has been
 much transferring of the long interest from January to March,. With January liquidated these months will command
 most attention and 1t ought not to be
 hard to detect signs of any unusual trad
 ing in either position.
 The weather map is now bound to come
 iri. for more attention than has been paid it for several months past. should ram fall in the west the bears wfii probably try to make it feature of general in- terest in an attempt to rob the statisti- cal position of some of the attention being paid it. According to the best informa- ton coming into this market there is a large area of important cotton produc- ing country in Texas and Oklahoma that
 has not received anything like an ade- quate rainfall, although light rains have
 been reported here and there In both states for some time. This, it is claimed,
 has caused backward preparations for the
 new, crop ini some sections and is again the success of the next crop since it is the general idea that winter rains are
 conserved in the soil while spring and summer rains are quickly evaported. The | claim of the bulls is that unless rains fall soon the cotton plant over a large area will suffer for moisture during every dry spell of the growing season. l Unless rains fall soon in general way the drouthy counties in the west will be market feature of great importance. The statistics of the week will be eagerly
 watched for, because the bulls will hope | for a repetition of last weeks bulllsfl I showing while the bears will look for | turn in their favor on the theory that a very bulish weekly statement is likely l 10 be followed by disappointing state | ment the next week. Stocks of cotton will command much attention and should | they shrink, as they have last week, buy | ing will be stimulated

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, January 29-An irregular volume of trading is going on in cotton goods, with jobbers showing more ac- tive interest than converters or the man. ufacturing trades. On several lines the buying has been good, but prices have been most unsatisfactory to the sellers because of the sustained high cost of production. Curtailment of production is being forced in all parts of the country because of the inability of mills to take loss on goods to be made and their un- willingness to go on selling spot goods at low prices as the goods accumulate.
 Jobbers have placed good orders for future deliveries of mapped cottons which they were able to buy very close to the prices of a year ago. On fiannellettes, opened during the past week, the prices were substantially the same as year ago, the exceptions being on fancy mum bers which were advanced Ac yard, and the orders already placed will take care of a large portion of the possible output of leading mills. There has been also a good business in staple ginghams, dress. ginghams to retail under 121zc and percale to retail at 1oc Staple prints are in steady request and wash goods sell well.
 The jobbers in this vicinity are doing a better business than a year ago at this time. On drills and sheetings, line combed yarn goods, duck, several lines of colored cottons available for working suIts. etc. trade is poor. although prices are distinctly in favor of the buyer.
 : Fall River sold 135,0O0 pieces of print cloth during the week, 45,00o being for spot delivery Stocks of goods are gen. erally low as compared with many periods of dull trade, and at the earliest signs of reviving general business cotton goods activity should become prominent quickly
