New Era in Horse
Racing This Year

New York. Jan. 3.--With the coming
or the new year the turf in the United
states Will enter another season and
possibly new era that will carry
thorouChbred sport to the highest pin
nacle 1t has reached in many years.
The year 1924 has been n most prosper
Gus period and from various points
comes word of elaborate plans for the
immediate future. These include the
opening of new courses and the rciuve-
nation of old. If all of these come to
successful operation it will mean an all
most unprecedented growth of thor
oughbred racing in this country.
Notwithstanding these new ventures
there will be horses a-plenty to supply
all demands for competition. The
breeding industry, now in healthy
condition and on a sound basis viii,
supply the racing material. Hardly a
month has passed without large i'm
portations of breeding and racing
stock and the youngsters coming to
the racing for the first time are sale
to be Of unusual promise There Will
lie no lack of horses. Today there are
hundreds more CHARTERED at New Or
leans than can be usefully employed.
Large numbers of these Will he abb
sorbed by the competition in Florida
when the new track Of the Miami
Jockey Club opens next month, while
this track will also attract many
large stables which have not hitherto
been interested in winter racing.

Optimism Holds
First Week of Year
In Business, Finance

New York, Jan. 4-(By A. P)-
With the year-end opinions from
business men and bankers decidedly
optimistic, the market began the new
wear with fresh demonstration of
buoyancy. The profit taking that
many had expected TO appear failed
to materialize. While new buying
made itself felt in no uncertain lash
ion.
Throughout the annual forecasts
ran an ins;stencc that the underlying
economic situation was the most ia
vorable in years. The revival in do
nestle agriculture was stressed as
putting n distinctly new appearance
on the domestic outlook, while the
Dawes plan was declared to have
marked the declaration of economic
peace in Europe. The conclusion
drawn from these circumstances was
that business revivals would, in the
natural course of events, support
each other.
Conservative commentators, who
always list the unfavorable as well as
the favorable factors plainly threw
the weight of their opinion on the
side of optimism. a few, however.
were inclined to interpret the burst
of optimism as something in the ma
ture of a reaction from the discour-
aGements bred of the five years of
economic warfare that succeeded the
political peace declared at Versailles,
and to make allowances for a certain
exaggeration of hopes. But even
these We're free to admit that 1924
was a year OF great progress and
that all factors augured we'll fer 1925
business.
Most of the authorities predicted
moderately high money rates in the
year ahead.
Firmness in commodity prices DUR
ing the coming six months was gen.
orally forecast. Beyond that period.
few of the experts arced to go. Some
