Of Agriculture indicate that rel

Customs House At Mexico City Win
 Be Opened Today
taepublIcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

MBXIC0 CITY, Dec. 31-The Mex ico city custom house will open Jan. 1 after having been closed for nearly seven years, in order to help to relieve the freight congestion which at pres ent threatens to tie up many lines of industry. The treasury department. in oFderng the opening today, issued q statement saying that goods may be transferred direct from steamships at Vera Cruz and Tampico to Mexico City, where they win be inspected, thus ehviating long delays at ports.
 The departments action is one or the steps being taken to clear up traffic conditions which have become so se- rious that a committee representing all the foreign chambers of commerce in Mexico City naw is in Vera Cruz mak- ing an investigation with the view of recommending radical measures to start the feright moving. Business in Mexiep City and other inland towns has been seriously hampered for months as result of the freight tieup at Vera | Cruz, which originated when the ste | Vedores and lOngstoremen went on a strike Settlement of this strike. how | ever, has had no apparent effect on ' the congestion, and thousands of tons | Of freight have heen lying either in the harbOr or on the wharNes for months
 Several weeks ago it was stated au thoritativelY that 400 00O tons of freight ! had not been moved for months and | that this amount had been added to
 rather than decreased. In some in
 stances AleNico City merchants have

control of coal ended same date and coal entered a runaway mar ket. By June export demand was talk ing nearly all Pocahontas and other high grade coals at huge prices. By July coal car shortage was acute. Emergency railroad orders made cars plentiful by late November. This and big output by the mines broke the market in December.
 Bituminous prices dropped an aver age of S6 a ton at the mines. This brought them down near prices that prevailed at the start of 1920. Soft coal production in 1923 was 92000 900 tons ahead of 1919 and only 24000 600 tons behind 1918, when war demand broke all production records.
 Anthracite production in 1920 was 9,000,009 tons more than the year be- fore The coal famine, which seemed inevitable in mid year, was averted.
 In Other Industries
 Steel ingot production for the year will probably show up less than 1919, in final figures. But big increases were made in production of iron ore and pig iron.
 The buyers strike paralyzed the shoe and textile industries during the last half of 1920
 Copper prices in November had crashed from high points down to low est prices since early 1915. The mar ket is dead and soft as the year ends with four months supply of copper on hand
 The automobile industry was hard hit by tightening of bank credits anc curtailing of buying by the public Thi. slump also caught the rubber tire in i dustry.
 High Exchange Rates Gut Exports | The country's foreign trade totalet about $14.000,000. in 1920. Compared with 1919, exports increased fro ST., 922, lb05Q2 to SS,1sS 00000a and import | increased fro s3,9044 406,327 to $5.664, l 000 eco. High exchange rates cause, heavy cancellations of orders, particu
 larly grain and steel which will GU

roads won increases of 20 per cent in fares, 50 per cent in Pullman rates and freight rate increases of 40 per cent in the east and p per cent elsewhere.
 Car shortage almost paralyzed trans Portation during the summer, but emergency orders met the crisis. Freight shipments in the fall were heavy. The movements in July, Aug ust and September broke all previous monthly records. The average freight car now moves 27 miles a day, against 194 miles in April. There is a surplus of freight cars as the year closes.
 Crops Big, Prices Low
 Corn. pears, tobacco sweet potatoes and rice crops broke all records for size in 1920. Bumper crops and falling off of export demand made prices slump. Department of agriculture says the mafa 1920 crops are worth $9.14S,4l9.- 000 compared with the 1919 crop value of $l4,OS7. 0Oo. Farmers shouldered the loss and were hard hit
 Bad Year for Cotton
 The cotton crop tltals 129S7 GOO bales, largest since 1914. though it began the season in very bad condition Oklaho- ma and Arkansas had a record crop also probably Texas and South Caro- lima Some planters had expected 50 cents a pound. Instead, producers were getting around 15 cents a pound in De

cember Big production and falling off of export demand and domestic con broke the price. The cotton catastrophe hit the South hard, par ticularly in collections and merchan- dising. Cotton price seems to have reached bottom. It may recover early in the year.
 Off Year In Building
 In the l63 leading cities, money in- vested in new building in 1920 was 15 per cent more than in 1919. This is the price side. Actual construction was less. Shortage of 100000 American homes permitted orgy of rent profiteer- ing so severe that New York and other states had to pass laws to curb land lords
 Building materials started to decline in price late in the year. Lumher has heen lowered at the mills. Fir in the northwest is the first lumber to reach nre war prices. In some sections price of brick has been cut in two Lower building prices, coming, will depreciate homes built at high prices recently.
 Coal Had Runaway Market in 1920

BY ALBERT APPLE

The big business events of 1920 were;
 l. The greatest crash in wholesale commodity prices since 1873. Caused largely by a buyers strike. Buying power of the dollar starts coming back as cost of living begins topping.
 E. Shrinkage of excess of exports over imports with same speed as our trade balance increased during the war.
 g. Ending of government control of railroads and coal, with a general ten dency back to private ownership and away from governmental interference with business.
 4 Intense credit imitation. which led to frenzied speculation, was checked by banks calling loans and making money tight. War profits and war prices doomed as period of deflation begins.
 Wholesale Prices Crashed
 During 1920 wholesale commodity cent. They now average lower than when the United States entered the war, but still are 55 per cent above prices Aug l. 1914.
 The price decline was caused by a buyers strike which began in May and by collapse of foreign exchange which beheaded European demand for Amer ican exports. Wholesale price reduc- tions are most pronounced and nearest completion in sugar, soft coal, shoes, clothing, crops. meat, wool, flour, cop per and tin.
 Failures at Low Rate
 About S.4O0 American business firms went bankrupt during 1920. This was a low rate. considering price earth ouakes and general trade upheaval.

Gravity Does Not Determine
the Quality of a GaSOline---

at which the gasoline starts to
boil; the END Point"-the
temperature at which it is en-
tirely boiled away; and the
evenness Of distillation.
TOPOCO gasoline las the
proper boiling point fractions for
quick starting, smooth accelera-
ton and maximum power. 1t
vaporizes readily and burns
clean--leaves no heavy residue
to foul the motor. Use TOPCO,
and note the difference.
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1921-03-19

The gravity of a gasoline has no
practical significance to the mo-
torist. Gravity means the weight,
and does not determine the
quality.
The gravity of a gasoline may be
high, yet the quality inferior.
The only reliable guide to a gaso-
lines quality is by a distillation
test, which determines its util-
ity as a motor fuel.
This test reveals the Initial
Boiling Point"-the temperature
