Chandler Motors.

Although factory shipments of the
Chandler Motor Company in 1921 will
be only around 5000 cars in contrast TO
1882 IN 1920, retail sales to the public
have shown no such decline, but have
approximated 60 per cent. OF the record
years Of 1919 and 1920, according to
figures compiled by a prominent COM
mission house in an analysis OF the
companys position. At the start Of 1921.
ii is pointed out. Chandler dealers had
some 5000 cars on hand to-day they
average hardly car apiece. Accord
ingly. sales 10 the consumer have
equalled more than II 900 cars or. more
than twice the factory production. On
the other hand, sales TO the public In
1920 were between 1900 and $4,000
cars. In 1922. provided retail sales
equal only those Of 1921, factory pro-
duction would have to rum at 1000
cars, which would mean satisfactory
earnings. Although earnings for 1921
have been much less than dividend dis
bursements, the latter have been well
justified by the company's financial con-
dition and prospects for the coming
year. Since 1916 more than S3,0O0000
has been put into plant out OF earnings
and at the close OF 1920 working capital
showed an increase of 40 per cent. COM
pared with that OF 1916.

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Selling Pressure in Stock Mar
ket Eases-Sugar Issues
Recover With Force.

The feature of yesterdays stock mar
ket dealings was a notable decline OF
selling pressure as compared with Fri
days operations, which presumably
was largely the result OF the completion
OF income tax record sales on Friday
afternoon. The number OF such sales
for cash was much less than it was in
the corresponding period Of fridays
market. Relief from the seni,-. which
had been a decided factor dL nS the
rebound of a full point in Pennsy,
vania Railroad stock OF which a part
was lost before the closing. The suga,
company issues also recovered with con-
siderable force. American Sugar Re-
fining and Punta Alegre gained more
than 212 points. and others scored large
fractional advances. 1t was in stocks
or companies which had been affected
as severely as the sugap refners and
producers by last years business de-
preston that selling for income tax rec
ord occurred on the broadest scale. But
it looked yesterday as though n rebound
when that liquidation ceased had been
assisted by optimistic comment by sugar
men on the outlook for 1922.
Dealings were widely distributed
through the list, although the turnover
of railroad shares was light. The un-
dertone of prices all the way along was
strong, suggesting that nothing had ap-
peared in year end news and develop
ments to change the opinion which
traders had held during most of De-
cenber, namely. that many unfavorable
phases O. industry had been discounted
and the L arlet outlook improved there
by. Tho speculative element was not
unanimous. however, in believing that
the market would be one sided in Janu-
airy. When the time approaches for

that light will be thrown on the allied

THE SECRET /.


TWAS tn funniest thing, and the
way we laughed
As we sat there all alone,
Would have made one think we both
were daft
III the truth were not made known.
But the baby laughed cause she saw
it first,
And she shook her sides with glee;
And then the fun of it quickly burst
Upon her old Dad-that's me.
The way it happened was just this
way:
Baby and | were there,
She in the crib on the pillows lay,
i in my easy chair.
The warm sun shone in the coy room
And lighted the baby's face
Till ii loked as pure AS the lily's
bloom,
And fair as the lily's grace.
The baby looked ut her Dad while,
Her blue eyes full of fun,
And over her face little smile
Rippled and broke and run.
Dad smiled right back--she smiled
some more
Then both just shook with glee;
And mamma peeped In ut the open
door
To see what the fun might be.
But the baby holds the secret we'll
Never word says she.
The joke was bully, and she won't
tell;
And neither will Dad-that's me.
But, oh, twas q wonderful Joke we
had,
Just shared between us two,
