Electric Vehicle Makers VIII
Be More Strongly Rep
resented Than in Some
Years Past.

Having resorted to every expedient
TO secure as much space in the huge
Grand Central Palace as is possible
for the forthcoming annual automobile
show, the management has ascertai1e
that more than 100000 feet Of floor
space will be available for exhibitors
Of cars, motorcycles and accessories
The show is to open on January 2, and
will remain open the following week.
With additional floor space available II
means that the number of exhibitors
will undoubtedly break all records.
Not only will the gasolene car indus
try be represented in full force, but
the makers of electric cars will occupy
large portion of the space. During
the last week seven companies manu-
featuring electric vehicles were al

A letter has just been received from

known surgeon who is now in France

appeal to the liDerality of every Brit
Usher and sympathizer to contribute
the sum of at least one shilling to-
wards the purchase of chloroform and
medical supplies.
Every shilling sent in will receive a
direct acknowledgment and all sup
plies will be purchased in this coun-

the least possible delay. One shilling
will buy 100 grammes OF chloroform.
Shillings may be sent direct to the

this writing there are no signs Of I'M
portant domestic liquidation, and the
stock market has already recovered
from the decentralization which exist
ed at its closing In July. Confidence
has been largely restored and con-
siderable buying power Is already
waiting to take advantage of any tenn
porary recessions should they happen
to occur. AS to the much dreaded for
eign liquidation, that remains an I'M
known quantity. The best opinion is
that selling on this account will not
be nearly as large as expected. The
supply Of American securities abroad
has been much reduced. European
holders have to considerable extent
already adjusted themselves to new
conditions. London is not expected to
sell American bonds OF which 1t is a
large holder. Investors are less dis
posed to sell, because there are no
safer securities to be had at present
than Americans, which are often
quoted at bargain prices. Only those
in distress can now be expected to
liquidate, and many of these individu-
ais have had time to procure assist
ance. So It is fair to infer that the
danger to the market from foreign
selling has been exaggerated and part
~ disappeared. By opening the mar
ket to bonds only and avoiding deal
ings in international stocks for
period the danger to this market will
be still further eliminated. Time plus
gradual restoration Of confidence
will do the rest. Recently the course
Of the war has been such as to encour-
age earlier hopes OF peace This, Of
course, has stimulated optimism and
bettered market conditions.

Some Improvement Noticed at Home
While Across the Atlantic the War
is Factor Of Supreme
Importance.
PEACE TALK HELPFUL
Depression at Home and the War
Abroad, the Two Factors That
Put crimp in American
Prosperity.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-Condttions
are growing better daily. Only two
things stand in the way of sharp
recovery business depression at
home and the war abroad. A candid
estimate of these two factors is neces-
sary before an opinion can be safely
reached as to whether they have been
adequately discounted or not. In the
first place, it is folly to ignore exist
ing depression at home. Before the
war began 1eactionary symptoms were
WIDELY prevalent Declining bank
clearings, decreased railroad earnings,
Industrial inactivity, increased fail
ures, and other indications, all told
the story of business stagnation.
Moreover, depression was aggravated
by the continuous political batterins
of big business, as well as by the ris-
ing tide Of oppressive legislation.
Then came the war with its unparal-
leled decentralization of international
trade, taxing the abilities and re-
sources of our financial leaders almost
to the breaking point. There is no
Boosting in saying that the American
business community met this crisis
magniicently. No serious disaster re-
suited Our financial machinery faced
the storm and came through the stress
not only unscathed, but actually
strengthened by the terrific strain thus
imposed It is true the tension was
less severe here than in London, Ber-
lin or Paris; but on the other hand,
practically no government help was
necessary here and no moratorium
was ever seriously considered. This
supreme test proved American finance
and American business to be wonder
fully strong in things fundamental.
Our banks are in excellent shape. Our
industries may be suffering from lack
of orders, but it is a satisfaction to
know that they are generally sound.
Our railroads. it Is true, are laboring
under oppressive regulation and slack
traffic; nevertheless. their credit has
iheen marvelously well maintains ed.
considering the obstacles to be over
come. Our merchants have been
obliged to retrench; still they are
operating on conservative basis,
and they also are in generally salts
fsfactory condition, notwithstanding
dull business So much for domestic
conditions.
Looking across the Atlantic We find
the war still factor of supreme i'm
portance in American trade. 1t must
be remembered there are at least 20
100000 Of men under arms In Europe
and the cost OF the war Is placed by
conservative experts at about $4,000
600 day, Or at the rate Of about s15,-
000, 100000 per year. These figures,
be it remembered, do not include in
cidental losses to war. such as de
struction Of property, arrangement OF
trade, ETC., not to speak of the sick
ening loss of life and the misery and
suffering Of millions which cannot be
expressed in money values. Nor does
this estimate include the additional
losses caused by the recent outbreak
