digging of the scalp viii stop, and your
hair will look and feel hundred times

Signs of Improvement
Seen i'm Motor Industry
Association Head Asserts Sound
Development Now Seems
Assured

From we'll informed source, state
ment came yesterday that signs Of
Improvement in the automotive indus
try are already visible. C. E. Thomp-
son, president of the Motor s. Access
sorry Manufacturers Association. whose
$50 members lend credit and sell parts
to the makers Of cars and trucks, ex-
pressed confidence in the outlook.
In statement issued, after a meet
ing of the board Of directors, Mr..
Thompson said:
1--WE have absolute confidence in the
fundamental soundness and stability of
the automotive industry. A compre-
hensivc survey of conditions through
out the country, and first hand state
ments from various members of the
association indicate that there are
now marked signs of improvement in
the automobile field. The automo-
bile industry has naturally been af-
tected, as have other industries, by the
economic readjustment of business
conditions coming as an aftermath of
the war. This process has been most
orderly and constructive, and the basic
strength and essential character of the
automotive industry are beyond ques-
tion.
"The automotive industry is a
transportation industry The sound
progressive development of the auto
motive industry is assured by the
enormous transportation needs of the
country.
"The replacement business of motor
vehicles looms up as a factor of para
mount Importance. This replacement
business alone, even when coupled
with only an average increase in the
normal demand for new motor vehicles.
is of sufficient size to keep the indus
try in healthy and progressive con-
dition"

Angglo-French Loan

France Finds 1t Unnecessary
to Take Advantage of
Reserve Bank Offer;
Easier Money Follows

Millions of dollars worth of ANGLO
French loan bonds were presented yes-
terday' the due date, at the Office of J..
r morgan & Co. for final payment. A
seeady stream Of messengers flowed
into the Morgan banking house as the
ponds were turned in for retirement.
representatives of the Morgan firm
said no official figures would be availa-
Die Tor some time showing the amount
oil the payments. The maturity yester-
Gay amounted to $5o0,oo0 900. Of this
probably little more than 5000 900 900
was held in the hands of investors, ow-
ing to the fact that huge amount of
the bonds had been purchased in ad-
vance tor the account Of thetwo govern
ments: 1t is expected that many weeks
VIII elapse before all the bonds held by
investors are turned in. In fact, in
such huge total it is probable that
some OF the bonds will never come in
Tor payment. while others that are rest
ing in the strong boxes of forgetful in
vestors will likely not come out for two
or three years more.
Ihe French government, which had
to meet one-half of the big maturity as
its share Of the joint operation, did not
avail itself of the special emergency
arrangement made with the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York whereby the
latter, was to advance gold to the
french treasury in the event that the
French at the last moment should find
they did not have quite enough funds
TO meet the total payments due AS
lt happened, recourse to this machinery
was not necaSSarv
The big banking transactions Incl
dental to the payment of the Anrlo-
French loan and the United States
Treasury operations caused scarcely a
ripple on the surface of Wall Streets
money market. In fact, money rates
dropped in the afternoon to 6 per cent,
whereas the day before borrowers had
neen compelled to pay 10 per cent
to cover their requirements.

December Cotton
Below 20 Cents
AS Selling Grows
Buying by Shorts Starts
Rally at New Low Level,
but Weakness Develops
Again; Trade Is Factor

Some of the most extreme bearish
predictions of two or three weeks ago
were realized in the cotton market yes
terday morning, when December con-
tracts broke to 1890 and March to
19c.
Naturally enough, the appearance Of
these prices on the board attracted
heavy buying by shorts to secure
profits, while hedge selling was less
active than for some time past, and
there was also little better demand
for the trade. These purchases proved
sufficient to cause rallies of some SO to
80 points during the middle of the day,
but as soon as the profit taking OF pre-
vious sellers slackened the market
turned easier again and lost most of
its improvement under a renewal Of
near-month liquidation. December
contracts, which sold up to 20.45c on
the rally, closed at 20c, with the general
list closing easy, net unchanged to 60
points lower.
Conflicting reports regarding the
British coal labor situation had con-
iuSiliS Ou lic MAJ htl, Wulic
sentiment was also unsettled by the
announcement of a sharp cut in the
price of one of the leading domestic
brands of cotton goods. Another factor
on the early decline was the report Of
organized curtailment in Manchester,
combined with the weakness in Liver
pool.
Southern spot markets as officially
reported were unchanged to so points
lower, with middling cotton at Dallas
quoted at 1890. There were sales of
over 5000 bales, and the sales at
Houston amounted to nearly 900
bales, with middling there quoted at
2065c, compared with 20.10c, the closing
quotation for October contracts in the
local market.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and so lower at 2050c for mid
ding; sales $40 bales.
The range of prices follow:

By S. M. FELTON,
President Chicago Great Western
Railroad Co1npuuu

Railroad Company
1t is but too we'll known that our
railways are unable to transport all
the traffic that is offered to them. This
is not new condition. The termina-
tion of the war caused a heavy decline
of business in the spring of 1919.
There was then a brief period when
the railways had large numbers of idle
cars. Excepting for this brief period
there has been no time within the last
five years when the volume of commod-
tiles produced, or which could have
been produced, by our industries has
not exceeded the transportation capac-
ity Of our railways.
1t has been customary to describe
this condition as due to "shortage Of
cars" A large part Of the public has
therefore gained the impression that
the only trouble is that the railways
have not enough freight cars. This
has resulted in some comments and
suggestions which would have been
amusing if they had not related to a
subject so serious. Some observers
having noted cars standing at railway
stations for few days or a week at
q. time have gravely announced that
the trouble is not that the railways
have not enough cars, but that they do
not keep them moving. Some other
persons have suggested that to provide
the railways with cars more promptly,
large factories ordinarily used for
other purposes should be devoted to
the manufacture of cars.
The point needs to be emphasized d
with great force that, while the in
ability Of the railways to handle all
the traffic offered Immediately affects
the shipper in the form of inability
to furnish him cars when he wants
them, the real trouble is that the rail-
ways have not enough facilities of any
KIND. If large addition should be
MADE to the number of cars without
spending additions being made to
the number of their locomotives. side
tracks and yard facilities, they would
rot be able to move the additional
cars: The railway managements are
making herculean efforts to increase
the amount of freight transported with
the facilities they have. The trans
pcrtatlon problem of the country can
rot be solved, however, without vast
additions to railway facilities of all
kinds.
Some of the Needs
Others will discuss in the series of
