BOWLING

Rivalry among the pin busters of
the city is growing keen with the pro-
gress of the two bowling leagues and
the next few weeks is likely to see
some interesting foursomes between
some of the principal bowlers in the
local shop. Dan MCGOWAN a sign
ed up Shell and together they arc
maple knockers with the probable re-
! that the Wilde alleys will be the
scene of some Interesting sessions be-
tween, these two bowlers and some
others who have found favor with
their W rolling.
As vet no definite word has come
from Fargo when a couple OF quintets
may be expected down river for a
mixer here. 1t is expected, however,
that a session will be soon forthsom-
ing and the local ten-pin artists are
laying plans to chalk up the superior
number in the set.
Crookston bowlers are reported to
be anxious for a set-to with some of
the Grand Forks alley artists and the
near future may see a session between
representatives from both towns eth
err on the local alleys or in the Minne-
sofa city.
Fargo gets the big tournament this
winter and from present indications
uHA ~ Will ne well represented
in the big go. 1t has not yet been de-
cided how many crews will travel
for n affair but it is assured that
before honors are compiled in the
tournament there will be a. general
understanding that Grand Forks bowl
ers participated in the sessions.

Y. defends Rail Standards
Lehigh President Explains the
Roads Po1icv

Commenting on the recent charges Of
W. Jett Lauck that the railroads are
farming out equipment at greatly IN
creased costs instead of making repairs
at their own shops, E. E. Loomis, presi-
dent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
said yesterday that it always has been
the policy of his company to mainta n
it's car equipment at the highest stand
ard, and prior to Federal operation Of
the railroads it had no difficulty in
doing 80 with its own shop facilities.
THE return of large numbers of our
cars in q badly crippled condition after
the end of government CONTROL" said
Mr.. Loomis, "complicated by the situa-
stion prevailing in the shops as result
,0S the railroad administrators aboli-
ti9n Of piecework, and of inefficiency
due to the enforced continuance of the
nA$ional agreements with various
unions, made it impossible to cope with
the situation.
"There is no question that the
coal situation in this country was q
critical one at the beginning of the
winter. In many places consumers
were on the verge of panic. AS one of
the largest carriers Of anthracite. it
was incumbent upon us to move every
car Of coal possible and to make every
possible car available for loading. To
do this we were obliged to avail our
selves of every agency to get our car
equipment repaired promptly"

Slump i'm Fur Prices
Less Than Expected
Bidding for Australian Skins
Considered Good; Declines
From IS to IS Per Cent

Favorable prices prevailed yesterday
on the offerings of the New York Fur
Auction Sales Corporation. The major
interest of the buyers present was CEN
tered on Australian and American opos-
sum and Australian and New Zealand
rabbit skins. Leading dealers ex-
pressed surprise at the prices bid on
Australian opossum, which sold much
better than expected. Bids on offer
ings of American opossum, while not
as high as those on Australian, also
caused favorable comment.
Declines in the prices of articles
which were offered ranged from 35 per
cent to rs per cent, in comparison with
prices made last April. Notwithstand-
ing. the favorable prices offered on Aus
trallan opossunl, which were slightly
higher than the prices prevailing in
the open market, the decline in the
price of this sarticle from April
amounted to so per cent. American
opossum showed a decline of 60 Der
cent. furriers' Australian rabbit de-
clined 60 per cent and hatters' Aus
tralian rabbit rs per cent.
Bids on large Offering of Australian
Spossum averaged from 1920 to $500.
Spirited bidding on Australian rab-
bit took place in the morning, the Of
fering realizing from 20 cents to $1.25
a pound, while other rabbits brought
in from 3 to cents skin. A high
price Of $3.40 WAS realized on an offer
ing Of 211 No. l Tasmanian opossum
skins.

Trade Activity Increases
Purchases From Wholesalers
Larger Than Last Week

The renewed business activity dur
ing the week shows up in the weekly
report Of merchandising activities
issued by the Credit Clearing House.
Purchases this week over the country
as a whole made from manufacturers
and wholesalers increased 6 per cent
over last week, with the Northern agri-
cultural section leading with an in
crease of 8 per cent. The Pacific Coast
section was second with an increase of
80 per cent, and the mountain section
third with jump Of 1.2 per cent. All
other sections showed slight increase,
but all less than 1 per cent.
Purchases in all sections, however
were below those Of the corresponding
week a year ago, showing a decline
Of 1873 per cent for the country as q
whole. They also were IL below the
purchases Of the same week In 1919.
indebtedness is being cleared up, the
total for the week being 4.1 below that
Of last week and 1e below that
Of last year. Payments also increased
striking an average Of 3.8 per cent
ahead Of last week, although still &C
per cent below last year and 10 per
cent below 1919.

Bank Sees Support
For Improved Trade

Support of the improved sentiment
in business and financial circles by
events since the first Of the year is
seen by the National Bank Of Com
merce Of New York. The foreign
trade situation and the unevenness
of defation, however, in the opinion
of the bank, still cloud the situation.
"The gradual liquidation in many
directions has materially lessened the
strain on bank resources and The
general credit situation is improving.
However, the Importance of export
trade in the making of many Amer
lean products makes it inevitable
that the present unstable financial
situation throughout large part Of
the world will be reflected in the
United States for some time to come.
"The readjustment process has
affected different commodities in turn.
Although it has been practically COM
pleted in some lines, further series
of readjustments must necessarily
occur in others before business can
be properly realigned to new condi-
tions, and each has it's bearing on
the entire situation"
This, the bank concludes, should
not engender pessimism. Neither
should undue optimism result from
improvement in individual lines.

Sees Relief for Tobacco
Growers From Bankers
Envoy Discusses Plans for Mar
keting Heavy Low
&c.. Grade CrOD

{: LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan, 21.-Prelimi-
nary steps intended to dissolve the di-
JENNA for Kentucky tobacco farmers,
who declare they face ruin because of
low prices for their product, have been
taken in New York and are expected to
reach fruition in marketing organ
ization, according to announcement Of
Arthur Krock, editor Of The Louisville
Times.
Mr.. Krock returned to-day from New
York where he attended a conference
of growers, warehouse men and re-
driers with Bernard M. Baruch, former
chairman of the War Industries Board,
and other New York fnanciers. Mr..
'Baruch was asked to form the market
ing organization. Preliminary plans
are, that growers shall be shareholders
and members.
( Initial steps also were taken at the
meeting to discover how much lew
grade tobacco now on the market can
be sold abroad and what assistance
might be expected from banks in dis
counting the notes Of foreign govern
ments who may bid for it.
ut was the unanimous opinion
among disinterested financiers in New
York" Mr.. Krock said to-day in the
course of his statement, "that the man.
|ufacturers are making q mistake in
paying such low prices for the crop"

of production only, so that they do not
operate in discriminatory way.
Approved by DR.. Adams
According to Mr.. Ballentine, the l.t
est estimates indicate that the present
Federal taxes, including customs, will
raise in 1921 something less than g.
O00,000,000, and estimates of govern
HieHC expenditure 1Or this year, boSad
on figures in Treasury Department re-
ports, are considerably in excess Of 81,
100000, 600. About $1,000,O 100000 mors
is needed to pay interest on publis
debts, it was said.
Representative Norman J. Gould, o.
New York, said members Of Coneress
have had very little opportunity to
analyze the many different proposals
for tax revision, asserting It Is i'm.
portant that the business interesta CO.
operate in making recommendation,
Paul Armitage, of New York, emphs-
sized the need of a board of tax adjust
ment, such as has been recommended
by the tax committee Of the conferencs.
The program of the conference was
supported by DR.. Thomas S. Adams. Of
Yale University and chairman Of the ad-
ylsory committee of the United States
Treasury Department.

Reductions varying on the average
from Is to 33 1-3 per cent on mems
wear goods announced yesterday by
the American Woolen Company at

An outstanding feature Of the buy
Ing was the conservative size Of or
ders. In most instances buyers took
only enough goods for what seemed to
be immediate needs, preferring to place
orders later for any additional sup

expectations. This attitude, it was be-
lieved, minimized the danger Of cancel

sounder basis.

Abandon Advance on Furs
Auction House Refuses To Be
Hall Isohln

The custom Of granting advances to
consignors to the fur auctions and the
payment to them directly after sale Is
made, although the customers do
not make final settlement until four
doned by Funston Brothers & Co. fo1
their coming winter sale in St. Louis
next month. A statement of the new
conditions has been sent to all con-
signors for confirmation. The company
also refuses to be held liable for the
payment for goods sold.
This will further restrict the credit
operations in the fur trade, according
to dealers, as much Of the financing Of
dealers in the past has been dependent
upon advances made by the auction
companies. Other auction companies
have curtailed advances, but the st.
Louis concern Is the first to eliminate
them entirely.
