THE FUTURE OF THE
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
One half of the 100000 Automobiles
In Use Today are Used for
Business Purposes.

So much has been written relative
to the development of the motor car
industry and so many prophesies have
been ventured without proper con-
sideration of vital controlling factors,
that a clear and simple analysis Of
the subject may serve to dlsslpate
much of the unfounded conjecture.
The automobile market is divided
into two broad fields. First the ru-
raj class, which includes all persons
engaged in farming and others in va
rious business who live in towns of
less than five hundred population.
Second, the urban class, which COM
rrises all people in any but farming
pursuits. who live in towns of FIVE
hundred or more population.
In the rural or farming market.
there are 100000 families. One mil
lion of these now own motor cars
and one and one-half million are
poor, illiterate, or negroes, who for
the purpose of this study may be ex-
cluded from the prospective buying
class. There remain, 100000 farm
families who are possible automobile
buyers.
In the urban class, covered by H.
900 towns and cities of more than five
hundred population; there are about
100000 home owners of which num-
Der only 100000 now own cars. Ac-
cordingly, there remain 100000
prospective buyers in this class, Or a
total actual market, in both rural and
urban classes, of 100000 possible
automobile buyers.
The acceptable average life an an
automobile is about five years in the
hands of the original owners; and
as the man who once owns car will
not thereafter be without one, we
must include the recorder market
which in the Calendar year of 1917
will be about 100000 this being twen-
ty per cent. of the 100000 now in
use.
For the year 1917. therefore. the au-
tomobile business will face a market
of about 100000 possible buyers.
Not more than 100000 cars will be
built in the coming year, leaving q
possible excess market Of 100000
buyers at the beginning Of 1918.
These figures are decidedly conserva-
tive because they take no considera-

THE FARMERS ARE URGED TO
ORDER FERTILIZER EARLY

The shortage of freight cars may
seriously delay the fertilizer move
ment and defeat the plant early idea
that is being advocated by everyone
engaged in the anti-boll Weevil cam
paign. AS a rule, the average farmer
does not concern himself over rail-
way problems, car shortages, etc., be-
cause relatively few of them ship IN
car load quantities, bat if the present
car shortage exists at the time the
farmers usually order Out their fer
tilizer, no matter whether the guam
tity is one ton or a car load. if the
cars cannot be had in greater number
than the present supply. many farm
ers will be disappointed by not re-
ceiving his fertilizer in time to plant
his cotton and other crops early and
thus take the first practical step to
get ahead of the boil weevil.
The Farm Improvement Department
of the A. B. & A. is trying in every
way it can to induce all farmers to
order out their fertilizer Immediately
in order that they may not be dis
appointed by delays owing to car
shortage, congestion at terminal
points, and any other reasons which
may cause serious loss if this i'm
portant part of the farmers work IS
not attended to before it is too late.
Next to early blowing and prepara-
ton probably there is no more i'm
portant thing for the farmer to do
than to order his fertilizer out in ad-
vance Of the time he needs it.

sPotash e. Perlmutter.'

That rare combination of humor,
pathos and Characterization grouped
under the name of Potash & Perl
mutter" will be at the Opera House
Friday night.
The story as recalled Is not only
full of delicious humor, but it has
a charming love story running through
it and the side bits of characterize
tion with which it is crowded, make
< never ending fund of delight.
Briefly the story of potash & Perl
mutter" deals with the trial and trib-
ulatluns of these two partners of the
cloak and suit trade through their
generous championship of Boris An
drieff, a young Russian, whom the
representatives of the Car are trying
to drag back to the country of his
birth and to a lifetime in Siberia.
They pledge their all to go his bail
and when, through their ignorance of
the law. he starts for Canada to gain
a respite from the trickery of the
Russian representatives. and the part
ners are in danger of forfeiting their
business and their homes, the story
takes a serious turn indeed.
But Boris learns through the news
papers of the danger of his benefac-
tors and returns in time to save them
from ruin and to learn of his complete
vindication. There is plenty of ro-
nance to add to the charm of the
play. for Boris marries "Abe's" young
daughter, while Perlmutter wins a
"'ady DESIGNER" with a business head
like Carnegie and Shape like Lii
lian Russell-a young lady by the
way who figures extensively in the
good fortunes of the re-established
firm

There were two major factors
contributing to yesterdays improve
ment in prices on the Stock Ex-
change. The market was stimu-
lated by news indicating that Ke-
rensky may regain control of af-
fairs in Russia, and this was the
direct cause of the advance. But
of even greater Importance was the
fact that liquidation was in COM
paratively small volume-so small
that no artificial support was neces-
sary to sustain values. Since the
middle of last week selling pressure
has been diminishing in force, while
investment buying has figured i'm
portantly on the constructive side
Of the market. 1t is possible that
the selling movement may break out
afresh at any time, but a good many
persons in the financial district are
convinced that it will not reach
large proportions, and that the
danger of a crisis, which has seemed
imminent on several occasions of
late, is comparatively remote.

Exchange on Sweden is now down more

If liquidation has run its course,
as some observers are inclined to
believe, it is not improbable that
the stock market will pass through
a period of dulness. 1t is true that
many securities seem to be on the
bargain counter, and substantial
buying for investment may there
fore develop if it appears that the
market is not likely to be subjected
to further pressure; but at the same
time there is little or no prospect
Of a bull market The public has
shown no inclination to speculate
since the "peace" break Of last De-
cember, and it is not likely to &C
ouire an appetite for speculation
while the whole industrial and finan-
cial structure is undergoing the
drastic readjustment necessary to
put the country on war footing.
Indeed, it is likely that measures
would be taken to prevent any great
amount of speculative activity if
such action should seem necessary.
There is plenty of money for all
legitimate requirements of business,
but the banks would not be likely to
encourage the use of their funds to
finance a bull market

Money and Credit

Money rates showed no important
change at the beginning Of the new
business week. The Saturday bank
disclosing decrease Of

and a slight falling off in surplus re-
serves, was considered favorable, and
banks continued to lend with a mod
crate degree Of freedom. At the Stock
Exchange call money loaned at 4 per
cent, with a few loans being placed on
az per cent basis.
Somewhat more activity reflected in
the market for fixed date loans secured
by the deposit Of Stock Exchange collat-
oral. Bankers were fairly liberal with
their offerings, and the improvement in
Sentiment in the securities market
brought a better demand for funds.
