mage statement by the United $ gtes
Steel Corporation. An indicat,n Of
the extent of bear operations was
found in the case of Crucible steel.
II loaned at a premium of 1-2 qf l
per cent. This means that the Dor
rowing demand for the stock is now
so large that every person selling the
stock short must pay So a day for
every hundred shares borrowed
against short sales. But although the
Steel Corporation tonnage statement
was fully as poor as expected, show
ing a decrease of S37 1853 tons in I'M
filled orders during December, the
steel shares receded only fraction
ally and Crucible stubbornly refused
to stay below the final price of last
week.
Strong spots in THE market were
international Paper, the Mercantile
MarfRe issues and General Asphalt.
These issues were bought in antici-
patton Of publication OF excellent
earning statements. The last named
issue went To the highest price it has
touched since II was listed on the
Stock Exchange.
Copper shares we're generally firm.
Rails were quiet and irregularly
lower.
A notable feature OF the financial
day was the reduction in the rate
for time money, secured by mixed
collateral, 20 per cent. This Is the
first time in many months that time
funds so secured have been available
at such low figure. II was every
where accepted as foreshadowing an
early reduction in the rate for call
funds, which continued to rule at =
per cent
In connection with the greater ease
! in money conditions due note was
made Of the fact that the new issues

To be refused credit on a few gro

r VERY day of my life 1 was
thankful that mother and

months old, l was compelled to dis

forced to ask ones maid To wait for
her money, especially when ones
husband is reputed to be q factor in

in chamingly furnished house in
a fashionable street; when you are
wearing good clothes; when yoJ are

AUTO SHOW BEGINS
WITH A BANG; 1921

Best First Day Ever Seen in
New York-More Buyers
Than SightseerS.
M show,s the thlng.

This time It is the Automobile Show
and the place is the Grand Central
Palace, at 46th Street and Lexington
Avenue, and the show is on for n
weeks run. A palace is the only
place for the display OF the chariots
for kings. and, incidentally, a lot of
queens lend distinction, grace and
beauty TO the scene.
Music and flowers add further
charm to the setting for the hun
dreds Of beautiful cars. Mover were
so many wonderful looking cars
crowded into the space. There are
eighty-nine different makes and there
isn't room for another tiny exhibit.
It's like threading labyrinth to
make your way through the maze OF
the various makes. one doesn't get
lost, but one is very apt to get into
a pocket once he gets out Of the regu-
lar aisles.
Saturday was the opening day for
the show, and the opening was an

eye-opener for even the snapplest OF
statesmen. IL was O "corker," from
the viewpoint OF the makers and sell
ers OF cars. Usually, the first after
noon OF the automobile show Is a day
for chauffeurs. n sort OF poor relations
ahair. But Saturday afternoon and
nights crowds we're crowds OF buy
ers, rather than sghtseers and sales
men. At least, that's what the sales
men said, and they ought 20 know.
Old Barney Oidfield. the demon Of
drivers, was one of the first at the
doors and Barney had 10 walt at
least ten minutes doing nothing but
waiting. II was the first time in his
life that Barney failed to show speed.
There were n lot OF old-timers, but
there were also a lot OF newtimers,
which was more interesting. Pretty
girls were there with their dads urg-
ing Pop to buy them a car. It's re-
freshing. anyhow, 10 reflect that the
days Of the dad haven't yet passed.
GIRLS HAVE A NEW CHANT FOR
PAPA.
A long time ago the chant Of the
girl" was Papa Wouldn't Buy Me
Bow wow" but the. cry has
changed TO Papa, Won't You Buy
Me Chu Chu Carr" II was re-
freshing, too, to observe the number
Of girls who knew all about cars, to
watch them pop into the front seat,
grab the wheel with an ecstatic
CLEAN in their bright eyes and look
over the levers and brakes and
thinga -jigs with the air OF con-
noisseurs,
Some class 20 these girls. Well
the war had lot to do with educat-
ing them up to il, and mighty proud
we were OF these Motor Corps girls in
their natty uniforms and their pep &"
II looks as II the makers of the M
to-date cars had the gentler sex in
mind from the manner in which
they turned out the finished product.
It's n show all right, for the
cars are dressed up like a matinee
crowd. They are finished in all the
colors Of the Easter egg, and the up
holsterings are shaded to match the
girls eyes, her hair or her gown
You find the coloring running from
the clay OF the earth to a pigment
picked from a pink sky. But the col
oring is, perhaps, Just 70 attract the
crowd, as Broadway chorus girl
makes herself up for similar pur-
poses.
THE day Of the frealiish car passed
some four or five years ago. All cars
are standardized, as to external ap-
pearances, anyhow. The four and
six-cylinder motor apparently pre-
dominate in the car of the day but
there are not a few of the eight and
twelve cylinder type in use. Great
Scot! Think Of a twelve cylinder.
when only a few years ago a. six
cylinder machine Swimming along the
avenue used to make a traffic COP
tremble! They grow just like the big
guns in the navy.
Anyhow there's one big improve
ment which everybody at least,
everybody who can afford a carts
mildly wild over. You don't have to
lie on the ground under the machine
any more to give the machinery the
once over. It's all on top nowadays.
All you have to do is to lift the hood
and then think about it, You can
put your hand right on the spot II
there is anything out OF order and,
II you don't mind, getting your hand
burned.

a salesman, but the boss Of the eK-

next to q car, likes golf. Funny how
golf courses and cars run together.
Bill also plays rummy, hut he Isn't
one.
On the main floor and the one Just
above It there are all styles OF cars,
coupes, sedans, limousines, runabouts,
and there is one big red car that
would delight the eye of Fire Chief
John Kenlon. II looks like a fire car,
and there's one green one remindful OF
Police Headquarters. OF course
there's no connection between the
grease gun and a gunman car.

OF transportation, and when the war

that Brother George now owns the

OF the most noticeable effects OF the

Since the Inauguration of President

and farm lands have been sold 10
Americans In most instances these
properties were owned by Mexicans
who had suffered heavy losses on ac-
1ency and found IL necessary to dis
pose of their holdings at prices that
are regarded as exceedingly low by
Americans.
1t Is stated that more than 1000, 900
acres OF land In the State Of Coahuila
have been sold during the last few
weeks to Americans at prices ranging
from 81 to So per acre. All OF this
land 10 said to be splendidly adapted
for cattle grazing. and much OF II
may be irrigated and made TO pro-
duce abundant crops. The re-estab-
t1ishment of several OF the colonies of
American farmers that were aban-
donod during the revolutions Is also
going forward.

State Of San Luis Potosi. where Amer
