AUTOMOBIL E REGISTRATION
SHOWS BIG GAIN IN 1920
No Permanent Recovery from Recent Depres-
sion-Export Trade Well Maintained.
trhe washington Her.is'. Eee.onist.,

Preliminary figures Indicate that
the total number of motor cars.
including passenger cars and
trucks. registered in the United
States in 1920 amounted to 9.275,-
000.. This number may be- COM
pared with approximately 7.560.0oo
cars registered in 1919. showing an
increase for the year of about II
'715,000. The largest previous gain
in registration for any single year
was in 1919 when the total increase
was about '1.435,0O0 cars. Thus in
spite OF the severe depression un-
der which the automobile industry
has been laboring in recent months
there was very large production
and sale of cars to the public last
year.
The effect OF the business depres-
sion on the automobile industry Is
best shown perhaps by the figures
collected in the recent United States
Industrial employment survey con-
Quoted by the Department of Labor.
On January 1, 1921, the total num-
Der of employees in the automobile
industry was only 81 per cent of
the number employed in January
of the previous year. Press reports
have indicated that better condi-
tions were appearing in the in
dustry in recent weeks, but 1t is a
question whether this Is not due
to seasonal conditions rather than
to any permanent Improvement.
The Department of Labor's report
on employment in selected indus
tries for February shows an in
crease of 2.5 per cent In the num-
ber of employees in the automobile
industry during the past month, but
the number is still only 36 per cent
of the men employed a year ago.
General business has not vet
reached a point which would favor
any permanent improvement in the
motor industry. Notwithstanding
certain arguments to the contrary,
automobiles must be placed in the
class of luxuries. In any period of
business depression these commodi-
ties are the ones which are likely
to suffer most. Farmers, who have
been large purchasers of automo-
biles in recent years, are suffering
severely from the decline in the
prices of farm products. In many
instances the prices received for
their products this year will not pay
the cost of production. consequently
they will not purchase many auto
mobiles. The depression in other
Industries has caused the large prof
its of d year ago to shrink very
materially. Under these conditions
1t is impossible to expect any rapid
improvement in the automobile in
dustry. .r..

FAVORS ORDER TO ,
Aid HOME SEEKERS
Western Canadian Prospective
Citizens Greatly Benefit
By Recent Ruling.

OTTAWA. Ont, March 4.-Settlers
seeking homes in Western Canada
will be materially benefited by an
order-in-council just approved which
terminates on May l the plan by
which all government lands within
fifteen miles of railways were with
drawn from homestead and pre-
emption rights and reserved entirely
for soldier settlement.
This reservation, however. will
still apply to lands withdrawn for
soldier settlement in the Porcupine
Forest Reserve, the Riding Noun
tain Reserve, the Hudson Bay
Company and the Doukhobor settle
ments. These will remain as areas
for settlement by soldier farmers.
Power is also reserved by the gov
ernment to withdraw for soldier
settlement any other areas If nee
essary TO give a farm home to every
one of Canada's former soldiers who
desires to go upon the land.
Following Reported Policy.
In reserving all lands within
fifteen miles of transportation lines,
Canada was following out it's an
nounced policy that the men who
fought the nations battles should
have the best land within the power
of the nation to bestow. There are
still vast areas of land in Canada
far removed from railways that are
open to homesteading. but most of
the settlers who are pouring into the
country now are buying farms near
the railways either from the rail-
ways themselves, land companies or
private owners.
The new order in council means
that some of the best agricultur..l 4
land in Canada will be thrown open
for free settlement and it is believed
ii will have the effect of increasing
the influx of homeseekers. The four
provinces affected are the Manitoba.
Saskatchewan. Alberta and British
Columbia.

COTTON CAINSLOST
AT SESSIQN'SEND
Selling by New Orleans and
New York Liquidation
Spoils Close.

NEW YORK. Mar. 4.--Good gains
in cotton were lost today owing to
selling by New Orleans and local
liquidation. which developed toward
the close. The advances that were
scored prior to the last hour were
due to spurts of buying. First prices
showed gains of to 10 points on
favorable cables from Liverpool, To-
cal covering and a moderate de-
mand from the trade. Southern
wire houses were small sellers To-
cally, while further selling came
from Japanese interests.
Prices sold of slightly after the
opening. but the demand became a
little more active before the end
of the first hour and there was
quite a sharp advance late in the
forenoon. This buying petered out
at 12.12 for May and after show
ing net gains of 80 to IS points
there were slight recessions.
A prominent American house was
credited with buying to cover short
contracts in both Liverpool and in
New York, and the rally uncovered
stop orders.
The market weakened in the aft
ernoon. May broke to 11.6s in the
last hour. compared with yester-
days final OF lilo. From the bot
tom there was a rally of a dozen
points. Final quotations were un-
changed from the previous day, ex-
cept for an advance of points on
January.
Spot here was quiet with middling
unchanged at 11.50c; there were no
sales. Spot at New Orleans was
quiet with the revised quotation OF
middling fixed at lie; the sales were
426 bales. Receipts OF cotton in

DAY FAIRLY LARGE
In CURB MARKET
Trading Assumes Moderate
Proportions and Movements
Are Mixed and Wide.

NEW YORK. March 4. Trading
in the curb market today assumed
moderately large proportions at
times. and movements in some
issues were mixed and wide. The
ropening was quiet, and II was sew
eral minutes before sales were re-
corded in some Of the usually active
etocks. During the afternoon prices
moved within a narrow range and
business quieted down somewhat.
One of the early features was
the sharp rise in Maracaibo OIL to
above Is. Carib Syndicate was
weak Guffey Gillespie was offered
down rapidly. and in a few minutes
showed a loss of points.
Durant Motors changed hands
around its recent high. In the metal
group q somewhat firmer tone was
noticeable, Boston & Montana SELL
ling at its highest level Of the week.
YJfhere were several exceptionally
weak spots in the bonr section.

From the Southwest

CHICAGO, March IA feeling in
trade circles that the new admin
istration, under the guidance OF
President Harding. will not inter
fere with business and that condi-
tions should steadily grow better
In all trade lines was the basis for
more friendly feeling to the con-
structive side.>
There were also other contribu-
ting factors, the chief Of which
was an increased number of bug
reports. Selling pressure was re-
stricted, as the average trader Is
prices responded readily to fair
buying. A dip was made early on
selling due to the Presidents veto
Of the emergency tariff bill which
was followed by a bulge and closed
at around the best prices. At the
finish wheat was Is to az cents

was UP " to y cent, oats II to u

Green Bug Reports.
Green bug reports from Okla
homa were numerous and claimed
damage to the wheat crop In some
Instances, while others said there
was none. The Modern Miller re-
ported no damage and gave an en-
couraging showing of the crop.
Some of the green bug reports were
backed by buying orders which
with buying based on reports of
250.000 bushels sold at the gulf for
export at II cents over March. and
Of 10000 bushels Manitoba sold at
the seaboard. were bull helps. There
were claims of Hessian fly and
chinch bugs, the latter from Mis-
souri,. and of high and dry winds
damaging the crop in Kansas.
Corn went to a new high for the
present upturn, 72la cents for May
with the finish at 4 cent under the
top. Strength in wheat. talk of re-
duced receipts, and good export
buying were the main factors in
making a stronger market. Report
sales were 100000 bushels here and
$4,000 bushels at the seaboard. al
though the latter was probably a
duplicate Of the Chicago business.
Country offerings were lighter al
though arrivals here continue lib
eral, 46S cars. Cash prices were

Exports during recent months
have shown some tendency to de-
cline but the drop Is not as marked
as might have been expected. Ex-
ports of passenger cars in Decem-
ber. 1920, amounted to 1894, COM
pared with 7,213 in December. 1919.
In November, 1920, exports amount
ed to 11.4S6 cars and the maximum
month for the year was in May with
a total of 1880 cars The drop in
exports during recent months is in
part seasonal though no doubt the
worldwide business depression has
also affected it,

The truth is that the Chicago
