Activity Due To Reports Tha' Contract For Reconstruction
 Loan Is Signed

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.--Pronounced activity in Japanese bonds, based on reports that the contract for the Japa- nese loan had been signed and that the issue would be long-term 61as, today sent the price of some issues up more than point.

 Offerings were made of $10,OOO, ,OOO Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing ton Mortgage 5s, due in 1874, and $4,47O,OOO Pittsburg, Youngstown and Ashtabula 5s, due in 1862. Both issues, which are underlying bonds of the Pennsylvania system, were sold at 99.

, COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Feb 4.-Liyefpool was better than due this morning, and spot sales were large at 10000 bales, with a good demand for export to the continent. Our market opened higher, and was strong through the day, ruling aoout half cent a pound higher than In the afternoon. Southern markets reported a good demand from both Europe and New England with but little desirable cotton offering for. sale, Business was not particularly active, but the appearance of only a moderate demand has an undue influence on values at this time, owing to the small supply of cotton remaining out of a snort crop. The local sentiment is a trifie less bearish, but it is difficult TOT the trade to become enthusiastic oyer secondary advance at the end or snort crop season. In the past there has been surplus enough carried over to check such markets rather easily. It is the absence of such sur plus this year which gives the market such firm undertone.

 This was a rather difficult casting to make, and your excellent record in producing these castings enabled us to make some money on the job, where the chances were pretty good to lose money. especially if you had let the losses get away"

| Iowa, who has said he will oppose any effort to bring the Ford proposal before the House at nn early date, declared one reason he desires to delay the Me Kenzie resolution, was to give the mi nority time to prepare 'an intelligent report"
 The resolution introduced by Repre- sentative Mckenzie. Mir. Hull said, would hurry the matter too much.
 Mir. Hull declared it an outrage to ask for consideration of the bill before the hearings of the House military com mittee have been published. He added that the departments of war and agri- culture should be given time to study all offers made. as these amendments would be vitally interested in the shoals lease. A minority report opposing the Ford offer was not presented today by Mr. Hull.

Watch Time and Place

The reason why most cars are
sadly neglected is because their
owners do not appreciate the fact
that there is q time and place for
giving the car certain attention
which it needs, and that taking adj
vantage of these opportunities means
a great saving in time and expense,
for a car owner always sacrifices his
own time even when the car Is being
attended to by those whom he en-
ploys. 1t costs money every time the
car Is not ready for use when the
owner needs it.
The time to polish the nickel is

The Old Mechanic Says:

There's plenty of evidence around
this shop to prove that the quickest
way TO wear out n car is to pay no
attention to the balancin' of engine
with car speed when drivin' it. Just
because the clutch Is a glutton for
work is no reason to believe that
one can continue indefinitely couplin'
engine shaft with car shaft when
they are runnin' at different speeds.
But most motorists choose to believe
1t until somethin' goes wrong.
They start by lettin' in the clutch
while the engine Is runnin' at much
too high a speed for the work 1t
must do in startin' the car. There
is a violent forward lurch of the car.
accompanied by the click of a loose
wheel key and strainin' Of the chas-
SIS. springs and body. Much more
damage is done than If the engine
had been allowed to run too slowly
and had stalled.
Then after shiftin' through the
two lower speeds they repeat the
