part of the English trade to attract in creased shipments from the south.
 Stocks of American cotton at Liverpool as officially reported today, amounted to only 556000 bales, comparing with l. 19S.000 at the beginning of this season, and although the actual stock is now only about 100000 bales short of the sup ply held at this time two years ago, the small amount afloat and the scarcity of ocean freight room with other difficult ties of importation have evidently caused more or less uneasiness with regard to the possibility of replenishing supplies. The English advances. however, have ap- or aggressive demand around the local ring. and judging from the talk in local circles there has been a disposition to anticipate that exporters would be able to secure ample supplies in the south around prevailing prices
 The widening of the differences between Liverpool and New York has been ac- companied by heavy buying here by houses with Liverpool connections to undo straddles, however, and prices have worked s per bale or more above the low level prevailing shortly before the holidays.
 Southern advices have indicated an im- provement in export demand and spot prices have advanced also, but it is said

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
 IN BUSINESS WORLD
Domestic Finance in Sound Position for Business Re
 quirements, Says Dun's

New York, January 7.-Dun's review to- morrow will say:
 Preparations for the further extension of American enterprise are undertaken with increased vigor at the end of the holiday season. Domestic finances are in an unusually sound position and funds continue superabundant for all legitimate requirements, while there is no lack of the confidence essential to the launching and promotion of important projects. In the Latter respect, present conditions af- ford a striking contrast to those existing 12 months ago. and, moreover, all of the statistical barometers emphasize the changed situation prevailing at the open ing of 1916.
 Unlike the beginning of 1915, the new year starts with a record production and distribution-at high prices-in many lines and an accumula ton of forward con tracts that insures a continuance of the exceptional activity in about all branches
 of business.
 With comparatively few exceptions an- nual settlements have been effected with I out serious strain and in number of in stances results of nventorying surpass even the most sanguine expectations l "Trayeling SaleSmen are returning to l the road and reports from every section l tel of bright prospects in the commercial world.
 | Seasonal shutdowns at manufacturing plants were very short because of the
 urgent demands; yet, while holidy inter-
 l ruptions were less of factor than usual.
 1t is nevertheless remarkable that the pig
 iron output exceeded all previous month
 l ly totals during December. Some fresh
 labor troubles have developed in the basic
 industry, but on the whole strikes are not
 | seriously disturbing.

A MILLION A YEAR

Some of the leaders in the. automobile industry, of which an exposition had been in progress for several days in New York, venture the prediction that at least a million new automobiles will be marketed in the year 1916 The larger proportion will be the marketing of au- tomobies manufacturer and sold in the Detroit district.
 Five years ago James J. Hill spoke in something like admonitory tones of the fact that the automobiles that had been sold the year before were of the value of five hundred million dollars. It was too soon then to take heed of the part the automobile would play in industry, traffic and in agriculture. When George Westinghouse attention was called to the statement made by MT. Hill he said that there should have been added to these figures at least three hundred mil lions. for an estimate had been prepared for him of the cost of the yearly up- keep of automobiles and the figures which were given to him showed about three hundred millions.
 MT. Westinghouse said, however, that within five years these figures should be doubled. But it should be borne in mind that they reflected very great stimulus to American industry, especially the steel and iron industry, and an additional in- come to the railroads for the transpor- tation of automobiles, and, furthermore, that in little while the motor-car would play a very important part commercially in American business and commerce, also in agriculture. Therefore, whatever the amount which represents each year the manufacture. sale and upkeep of automobiles may be. it is to be reckoned an important factor in our industrial ac- tivity.

Painfully Burned

- Mrs. Laura Blacklidge was pain
fully burned on both arms last
Sunday night by the accidental up
setting of a large clamp, and mar
rowly escaped more serious injury.
In pulling open a drawer in the
hallway of her home, the lamp was
knocked to the floor and broken,
the hall curtains took fire and in
attempting to smother the flames
with rugs her clothing also caught
and was soon ablsze. She was
alone in the house at the time, but
was making a brave fight to put
out the FIRE, when Mr.. and Mrs.
Max Treu, seeing the light from
the street, went to her assistance.
Together they succeeded in putting
out the fire. The burns while pain
full and for several days rendering
Mrs. Blacklidge helpless in the
use of her hands and arms, are
healins rapidly, and she will soon
be all right again.

which met Tom Campbell as he
stepped from the Tombstone train
here Wednesday noon. Whether
the prediction contained in the
salutation is to prove true or not,
now that Mr.. Olney has been elm

can tell. But anyway Mr.. Camp
bell met with a hearty reception
here and showed himself "good

and vigorous handclasp.

examiner.
They were completing three
thousand mile campaign over the
greater portion of the state. They
were jubilant over their party pros

Mr.. Campbell insists that the elec-

The candidate for governor is an

Mr.. Smalley is we'll known to

Mrs. Gradine Gammage, Arizona's
greatest woman speaker.
Mrs. Merrill's singing has drawn
large crowds at every place visited
while Mrs. Gammage has brought

she will join Mrs. Beauchamp, of
