AUTO AND ELECTRIC INDUSTRY
GAINS SEEN FOR NEW YEAR

Wesley o. Ash, manager of the San
Francisco Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce of the United States
Department of Commerce, said indi-
cations point to a healthy increase IN
the foreign trade of the Pacific Coast
for 1929, especially agricultural
products.
The many applications of electricity
and the usefulness and attractiveness
of electrical products. according to
Huntington B. Grouse, president OF the
National Electric Manufacturers As
sociation, have stimulated the growth
of the electrical industry in all its
branches and have supplied many of
the facilities that enabled other in
dustries to reach new heights of pros
perity during 1928. He sees added
proof each year that the Nation is
becoming electrical minded.
Farming Conditions.
Griff johnson, vice president of the
Equitable Life Insurance Co. of Iowa
of Des MoineS, reports 1928 showed
marked improvement. in agricultural
conditions throughout the Middle West
The general mental attitude now is
more favorable, he says, inquiry about
farms has been more active than at
any time since 1919 and selling prices
have sn5>,n trend to higher levels.
More expensive boats, built for pri-
vate owners, were launched during
1928 than in any other year on record
and orders for 1929 have set mark
far beyond that of 1928, says Joseph
A. Macdonald. president of Henry J.

Baptist Clergyman's Measure Will

ST. PAUL, MINI. LP)-An evolution

Mr. Riley's measure would prohibit

He has issued severe attacks on

WHEAT PRICES DROP
IN EARLY TRADING
Setbacks at Liverpool Are Cause
of Declines in the Chi
cago Pit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 2-Unlooked-
for Setbacks in wheat quotations at
Liverpool led to lower prices early to-
day in the wheat market here. Most
of the wheat selling, however, consisted
of small lots, and there was buying
based on prospects of Winter killing.
Opening IA to 5s off, Chicago wheat de-
clined a little more, and then rallied
we'll. Corn, oats and provisions were
relatively firm, with corn starting un-
changed to ss up, and afterward hold
ing near to initial figures.
With genuine Winter conditions pre-
vailing in this country, Chicago wheat
tice of unexpected downturnS in Liver
pool wheat prices and gave increasing
attention to changes of damage to do
mestic Winter wheat. In this connec-
ton, dispatches were at hand saying
that very little snow protection for
wheat was in evidence throughout West
and Northwest Kansas and in Nebraska
as we'll. Meanwhile weakness of the
market in Liverpool was ascribed to
pressure of newly harvested Argentine
wheat.
AS against talk of possible damage to
domestic wheat by Winter killing, bears
pointed out that in spite of the fact
that Winter killing last season was the
largest ever known, 1928 ended with
wheat at the years lowest prices. 1t
was also contended that overproduc-
ton had taken place in 1928, notwith-
standing the unusual amount of Win
ter killing, and that the effects of this
overproduction would be witnessed in

NEW YORK, January 2.-The year
1929 should be one of unprecedented
prosperity, in the opinion of Walter P.
Chrysler, president and chairman of
the Chrysler Corporation, who bases
his belief on the theory that the pres
ent rate of prosperity is in thorough
keeping with modern speed, to which
he says the automobile has contributed
nightly.
Generally speaking" Mr.. Chrysler
said, business Is excellent and will be
better in most lines. Manufacturers,
wholesalers and retailers are not un-
duly overextended in credit. Industry
is not suffering from the over-produc-
tion which has sometimes character
lied it in the past. can see nothing
but good signs along the road OF busl-
ness in the present year.
"Our automobile industry will achieve
another production and sales record.
I believe the figure will be approxi-
mately 4,750,000 cars by the end OF
next December. believe the United
States and Canada will export approx
imately 100000 automobiles, thus
realizing an ambition that has doml-
mated our manufacturers for some
time"
Securities Trading.
William Beatty, president of the
New York Produce Exchange, believes
that trading in securities steadily will
increase. lone reason for this" he
explained, seems to be that modern
invention and better organization of
industry has Speeded up the creation
of wealth, and a sound political and
economic system has distributed the
earnings of this process into the hands
of millions of people"

CONTROL OF RAILROAD

A suggestion that control of the Lake
Erie & Fort Wayne Railroad should
be jointly held by trunk lines with
which 1t connects was given to the IN
terstate Commerce Commission TODAY by
Thomas F. Sullivan. an agent, who has
completed an inquiry into it's situation.
The Wabash Railway now has pend
ing before the commission a request for
authority to take control of the Lake
Erie g. Fort Wayne by purchasing
1850 shares of its capital stock. The
Nickel Plate, New York Central and
Pennsylvania objected to- the transac-
ton on the ground that the Wabash
should not be exclusively owners of a
company holding important railroad
terminals.
The Sullivan report advised the COM
mission to allow the Wabash to COM
plete purchase of the Lake Erie g.
Fort Wayne stock, but to require it to
sell to each of the other three trunk
lines a share in the Lake Erie & Fort
Wayne ownership. The recommended
ton will be considered by the commits

ELECTRIC MACHINE
DEMAND INCREASES
Many Industries in U. S. Are
Being Equipped With
Motor Power.
BY J. C. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 2.-"Give her
the juice"
That cry will be heard more and
more often in 1929 than ever before.
The industries of the country are being
equipped with electric power in thou
sands of instances and power companies
and electrical equipment manufacturers
have already outlined schedules which
will meet the growing demand both for
current and equipment to produce it
and use it.
In the last year the New England
Power Association showed gain Of "a
per cent, to 1,256,000,000 kilowatt hours
of current in the great manufacturing
district of the Northeast. Even this
was not enough, for 1t was supplement-
ed by 642,600 horsepower of energy
from the Canadian hydro-electric cor
poration, no small part Of which came
into the United States.
Electric Power in Mines.
The iron mines of Minnesota and
Michigan and the copper properties
scattered from California to Alaska and
from Michigan to the Mexican border
have used their quota. The Utah Cop
per Co., for example, having already
electrified its mine workings and shovel
operations, has now started to make
electric locomotives haul its ore trains
from mine to mills and smelters.
In. the Middle West and the South,
the steel plants are being run by elec-
tricity in many cases. Millions have
been spent in equipping the mills for
such operation.
More farms have been electrified than
ever before. More homes are lighted by
electricity and more household and
agricultural tasks are accomplished with
this power.
These facts cannot help being re-
flected in the operations Of electrical
equipment manufacturers. The needs
of the railroads for electrification equip
ment and signal systems will keep many
men well engaged. Electric welding
machinery is being used to an increas-
ing degree in building construction and
aviation.
Sees Larger Demand.
The reason for this situation Is
economically apparent This Is a period
of quantity production" Quantity
petition with a consequent drop in
prices. This necessitates cut in costs
and electricity has supplied the answer
in many cases. Tools formerly oper-
ated by hand, such as hammers, drills,
screw drivers and a score of others,
now are operated by small motors. The
electric equipment for the home Is ex-
panding in consequence.
The makers Of equipment sold per
cent more goods In 1928 than in 1927.
according to Gerard Swope, president
of the General Electric Co.. He antici-
pates an even brighter period In 1929.
