 Few cotton mills in this territory have made any money during the pas year, it is said. though they have kep+ in operation in some cases practically all of the time and in other cases have been stopped or on a restricted produc ton basis for only comparatively briei periods

The slow recov cry in the tire fabric industry. is at tributed to various causes one of whici is the need of the markets absorbin: the great surplus of tires on hand whel the crash came a year ago. Anothe important reason and one that is fire quently overlooked, however, according to an official of one of the local mill i affected is that automobile tires are made so much better now than was 1 the case only very few years ago tha they wear much longer than formerly In these days 900 miles is not uncom mon servIce for a high grade cord tir to give and hundreds of them go 20. 900 miles. and over.

It will b seen from this that although the mum Der of cars in use has greatly increased that tires are wearing from three t, four times longer than formerly.
