Tire Prices are Now
 Expected to Soar in Country Very Soon

Car owners who are holding back on the purchase of tire equipment in the hope of a reduction in prices are likely to be disappointed. There is nothing in the tire manufacturing sit uation to indicate a downward trend of tire costs.
 On the contrary, break" that will necessarily mean the advancing of prices seems inevitable.
 resume of the tire industry and the conditions under which it has de veloped in the last decade, causes the casual observer to wonder, in fact, that tire prices have not already be- gun to climb steadily.
 Unless one studies carefully the un- deriving reasons for the successful checking of tire prices in the face of overwhelming advances in virtually every other commodity, it is rather amazing to note that prices now are much lower than they were ten years ago. It is still more interesting to compare prices of standard manufac- ture tire today with prices of the same product at the beginning of the war Good tires now cost no/ more than in 1914. There has not even been an appreciable advance in the last two years. And yet the quality lis higher and the purchaser gets more value for his money than ever before.
 When one considers that prices Of raw material, labor and tranSporta- ton have made more tremendous leaps in the last five years than dur ing any period in manufacturing his tory the natural query concerning the manufacturer is. How do they hold down the prices?"
 And fro mthis question comes the answer to another Will the prices go down?"
 It does not appear that a decrease is likely.
 Manufacturing genius, which has about reached it's limit, has kept down the cost to the tir euser. The stand ard manufacturer has combated price increases by developing his processes. He has expended millions of dollars in the installation of new machinery, better machinery and new methods. He has brought his output up to max imum and has made his profits on a quantity margin. He has smashed overhead expenses by use of these weapons and by putting his distribu- | tion on such a broad basis as to make it economical.
 Output has about reached it's ze- nth. So long as demand continues strong there is a possibility that tire prices will remain on their present level. But if general determination 1 to hold out should spread among car owners it is more than probablk that such an attitude would tend to create a reverse effect to the one de lsired and send tire prices rocketing
 An illustration of the surprising
 facts recited here may be obtained from the following table of price com
 parisons compiled recently by lead ling tire and rubber company. Al
 though this table, of course, shows Ionly the quotations of that particular lcompany, it may be accepted as ar
 leverage because the company is con
 sidered one of the leaders in the in ldustry and is a standard manufactur ling concern.

DANISH, BUTTER u. 4
BEING SHIPPED
TO THIS COUNTRY

New York, Jan. 12.-While Europe
is crying for fats, Danish butter is be-
ing shipped into the New York mar
ket for the first time in five years,
dealers here reported today. The first
shipment of $4,000 pounds arrived
from Copenhagen two weeks ago and
it has since been followed by another
shipment of, 144,480 pounds with
more on the way. Initial wholesale
prices ran up to 20 cents pound but
they have since followed the down.
ward trend of the American market
and the butter now is selling for 64h
or 65c a pound. :,
The butter is paid for here in
American money and the high prices
received for it by Danish manufac-
turers because Of ( the difference in
exchange rates. which are said to av-
erage 90. per cent. in their. favor. is
believed to be responsible forf the
shipment to the local market.

Democratic leaders said democratic
senator's were not yet pledged to
support any definite program OF com

the administration leader, is hopeful,
however, that set of compromise
reservations will be evolved soon
which will secure general democratic
approval and also be acceptable to
President Wilson and ,to+enough re-
publicans, to insure ratification.
Democratic senators who attended
a conference last night at the home Of
Senator Owen. at which compromise
suggestions were considered. said a
number of points still were. unsettled
and that the conference would be con-
tinued. They said the conference was
in harmony with the presidents view
of accepting reservations which were
interpretatiye but not destructive.
Senator Lodge expects this week to
confer with many senators, including
leaders Of the mild reservation re-
