Form Company
TO Make Rolls
Royce Motors Here
New York Bankers Back
$7,0OO,OOO Corporation
That Will Be Affiliated
With British Concern

Announcement was made yesterday
Of the completion of negotiations for
the organization of the American
Rolls Royce Company, capitalized at
$1,000, 600, for the manufacture in this
country Of the famous Rolls-Roycc
motor car, one of the aristocrats of
the motor world, ad the aero engine
of the same name.
Claude Johnson, managing director
of the Rolls Royce Company of Derby,
England, in statement given out on
the eve of his return to England said
that the capital will be provided by
the New York banking firm of Aldred
& Co. The American Rolls Royce
Company, which will be closely aifiii-
ated with the British company, will be
incorporated shortly under the laws
OF the State of Delaware. Public Of
fcring OF the stock will be made, it is
expected.
While the site Of the American fac
tory has not yet been decided on. it
was intmated that it would be some
whore in New England. Mr.. Johnson
said that the production would be di-
rected by experts from England. The
chassis made by the American and
English plants Will be identical in
every detail. The RollsRoyce chassis
sells here to-day. for $4,000.
Mr.. johnson explained that the COM
capital in establishing an American
works, because under the British war
acts it is not permissible to transfer
British capital to this country for in
dustral purposes.
This new venture" he added,
comes as a result Of a growing de-
mand in this country which cannot be
met by English production. The Eng
hsh works have received orders for
chassis which will absorb the output
for the next year and g half. The
Rolls-Royce engine is we'll known here
not only for its services in the war,
gnes made the first direct Atlantic
fight in less than sixteen hours. In
1913 many American factories, at the
request Of the British government,
wcrc making units Of Rolls Royce aero
engines.
This Experience has satisfied thc
company that, with proper supervision
Rolls-Royce products of the same
standard of cxcellency and precision
as is required at the English works
can be made in the United States. The
new company will have all the advan-
tagcs of Rols~Royce designs and
knowledge, and will be in position
TO manufacture automobile chassis and
aero engines with trustworthiness and
efficiency proved by the supreme test
OF war service"
The New York bankers who have
identified themselves with TIE Rolls
Royce Company have important Cana
dian connection. They asre also domi-
nant in the affairs of the Merchants
National Bank Other banking inter
ests, it is understood, will become as
sociated with them in their new en-
tcrDrisr.
Mr.. Johnson. who has been stopping
1T the Vanderbilt Hotel, will sail to-
Law on the Cedric for Liverpool.

NJ, X. & L. Would
Contract for Big
Petroleum Supply
Seeks Court Permission to
Buy From Mexican Pc
troleum Company 15,-
100000 Barrels Of Oil

petition has been filed in the
United States Court for the Northern
District of Texas by c. Z. Schatf, re
ceivcr of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas, asking that authority be given
by that court for the execution of
flvc-year contract with the Mexican
Petroleum Corporation for the pur-
chase of 100000 barrels of Mexican
crude petroleum.
Documentary evidence drawn by
Jc ep NJ. Bryson. general counsel, and
Charles c. Huff, general solicitor.
showing that due notice has been
given to all mortgage lienors was
filed with the petition. The Director
General of Railroads already has given
his sanction to the plan.
In the petition Mr.. SchaF shows in
detail many operating economies that
may result from the change to oil
~burni.g locomotives ana MAKES COM
parson Of operating costs with the
two kinds OF fuel.
The cost Of the changing of the
Mr. X. T. T. equipment for substituting
fuels will not exceed $65O00O and the
contract with the oil company provides
for the advancement OF that sum. or
such part Of it may be needed.
The contract calls 1oi 3.000,000 bar
railroad company from now until
December 81, 1924. The railroad is to
pay G5 cents barrel Of forty-two
United States standard gallons, plus
the handling charge at terminals.
When the railroad has its locomotive
equipment ready to begin exclusive
use of oil for fuel the oil corporation
Will furnish about 16G,666 barrels a
month, but until the railroad is
thoroughly prepared the oil will be
furnished only IN such amounts as are
needed.
The oil corporation is to advance not
in cess Of S65O,OOO to allow the
railroads funds with which to reiit
its locomotives with oil burning equip
ment and provide storage facilities at
other places than on Galveston Island,
where the oil company viii install
three or four standard $1,000 barrel
tanks n ground on the east end of the
island leased from the railroad for
pany will reimburse the oil company
for the S65O,000 advance by a pay
ment o. 80 cents additional on every
barrel received until the advanced
debt is satisfied
The primary saving by the substitu-
ton of the oil burners will amount to
S53S,453 year, accepting the 1918
costs Of coal as basis, according to
figures cited in the petition. In that
year the railroad burned Gl7,492 tons
of coal at a cost Of $4,544 a ton, or a
total of $2,806 4S6. 1t is allowed that
thre. and onc-half barrels of oil has
the heating value of ton of coal, and
the three and one-half barrels of oil,
according to the contract in question,
may be purchased delivered for S3,672
eHectlng saving on the corresponding
fuel vaules of $0.ST2, or an annual say
ing of $53S,453.
Thee is clause in the contract
which provides that in the event of an
unusual tax levy. or rather govern
mental claim on oil production, the two
corporations shall bear tne cost half
and half alike.

Cotton

InfaVora Bile weather in the South and
bulish reports from Southern spot mar
kets led to an active and excited advance
in the cotton market yesterday. There
VAS some irreEularity early, owing to
nervousness over the steel strike, but after
selling at 10000 for December prices
turned strong and that delivery later
sold at 3i.40c, making advance of 1873
points from the closing price OF Satur-
day and of moro than cents per pound
from the low record OF two weeks ago
Last prices were within few points
of the best, with the market strong at
net advance of 125 to 1875 points.
II is possible that tho firm tone OF
the stock market encouraged an optimis-
tic feeling as to the outcome or dura-
disturbance OF such serious possi blities
it exercised very little influence. and
after slight early decline seemed to be
entirely ovcrshadowed by the more bullish
news from the South. The market opened
steady at an advance OF to % points
in response to relatively firm cables and
sold about to points under Saturdays 8
closing figures during tho first few min
utcS.

sorbed and as prices moved upward buy

There some scattered Southern SELL

said to be covering hedges against sales
of spot cotton in the Texas markets. and
during the afternoon thcre reports
of an improved spot demand IN other
sections of the belt.
The weather map showed heavy rains
west of the river and indications were
that they would work eastward to the
coast, There was also apprehension
that the low temperatures reported north
Of the belt might work down to Texas
They carried no frost threat at this sea-
son of the year. but dry. warm weather
is supposed to be needed. and it was
evidently feared that the wet spell did
not only lower the grade, but pulled
down the end month condition figures
Exports for the day We're 3O1oS bales

or ne reports received here from the
South, the demand for spot cotton was
more active yesterday than at any tIne
for nearly twelve months.
Ihe local market for spot cotton was
