The American Chamber OF Com
Enerce Of Mexico has appealed to
President Herbert Hoover to inter-
rene in the immigration situation.
wiring him that the passage of the
immigration restriction bills would
create unfriendly relations between
the two nations.
The legislation will do no actual

misunderstanding and result in I'M
pleasant consequences" Otto Hol-
stein. secretary. writes TO the local
chamber Of commerce. He re-
quested that the matter be taken
up with the congressman of this
district. He also asked that an at
tempt be made TO defer action I'M
I'll a careful analysis OF the situa-
ton be made.
The telegram 20 Washington is as
follows:
In view Of the present cordial
and friendly relations between the
United States and Mexico 1t is the
opinion Of the executive commit
tee OF the American Chamber Of
Commerce of Mexico City endeavor-
ing TO represent American bust
ness interests and to further these
friendly relations that the proposed
legislation restricting immigration
from Mexico would 90 no actual
good and would be most unwise at
this time.
Nothing should be done to affect
adversely this amicable feeling and
such legislation will be inimical
to the trade an friendly relations
OF the two countries. The cordial
n feeling and friendly understanding
that now prevails in Mexico to-
ward the United States and the
United States toward Mexico should
be fostered rather than thwarted.
TO pick out Mexico as the only
country Of the western world for
putting into effect such restrictions
viii inevitably produce unsatisfac-
tory results. We sincerely hope
that our legislative body viii care

every standpoint. Permit us to eX-
press the hope that prospects Of

acted into law are remote. but in

PRESIDENT OF COTTON COOP

MONTGOMERY, Ala, January U.s.
The president of the Governments $780,
100000 cooperative cotton marketing
association has background that
taught him the planters troubles.
Allen Northtngton, heading what is
potentially the worlds largest organi-
zation of its kind, Is a farmer and
banker gifted with a genius for organ
izing.
AS the only general manager the
Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton Asso-
citation has had in It's seven years, he
has directed the marketing of upward
Of a million bales of Alabama cotton
and has handled SIS 5000 900 for the
farmers.
Coming to Montgomery from the

the actual experience of the cotton
farmer, gained in operation of his ex-
tensive holdings.
He is president of bank at Pratt

during preceding months had practically
abolished short selling practices for
long period prior to the break. AS a
precaution against speculative excess,
this view would lean to the theory that
the public interest might be served best
by encouragement rather than repreS-
sion Of short operations. But there
never has been time when producers
Of commodities, agricultural commodi-
ties particularly, did not regard the
short operator with hostility.
Air Passenger Traffic.
Though there has been some stimula-
ton Of passenger traffic on long-diS-
lance air lines since a drastic rate
cutting policy was adopted by several
of the principal operations two weeks
ago, executives of the enterprises are
still hesitant about forming an opinion
as to what will be the final results
The Transcontinental Air Transport
Service, which runs coast-to-coast serv-
ice in conjunction with the Pennsyl-
vania and Santa Fe systems, had one
or two days of 80 per cent capacity
loading of planes after the rates came
down, against so per cent capacity
that had been the average loading
prior to its installation. At the same
time frequent abandonment of recent
trips because of Winter weather has
disturbed the calculations.
What we shall have to find out is
whether the immediate rush to travel
by air at the very low rates means
there Is q permanent business develop
ing" observed Paul Henderson, exec
utive vice president of the T. A. r.
lines, ''or whether it was a temporary
squirt. 1t may be that there Is a
limited group of people willing to try
air travel at low rates, and it may
be that there is a steady volume of
traffic being built up. Personally, /
do not intend to let my own view be-
come decided in the matter until we
have some weeks of testing of public
proclivity."
Most of the air operators agree that
the recent fatalities in passenger plane
operation are the worst obstacle that has
to be surmounted in the endeavor to
make passenger transport by air pop
ular. Nevertheless, all of the better
established enterprises are still con-
tinuing service, in spite of the prev
alence of operating losses on all but the
mail routes.

NEW YORK, January 25.-Taken as
whole, the bond market today pre-
Bented an irregular appearance, but the
fact that the majority of the strong
spots were in the rails, both high grade
and junior, indicated broader invest
ment demand. This, of course, was
partly due to railroad earnings reports,
most of which showed decreases in De-
cember. but surprisingly healthy in
creases on the year 1929.
Some of the buying came from the
stock market, where more liquidation
followed a higher level of prices.
Many of those who succeeded in get
ting out of stocks ran to the shelter of
United States Government bonds, which
had rising tendency.

Ralph Budd. president of the Great
Northern Railway, said today that the
line of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad from Minneapolis to
Chicago is vital to the success of any
merger of the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern Railways. He said that
as granger roads the Northerns must
have access to Chicago from the Twin
Cities. He termed the opposition to the
merger as centering in st. Paul and
being largely political because of feared
reductions in pay rolls and unemploy-
ment.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail-
road will show earnings of about SIS a
share on the common stock for 1929,
according to G. Halle, president. In
1928 the Katy" earned $4.61 a share
on the common, compared with $3.50 in
1927.
The steel business Is better now than
anticipated several months ago and 1t
will improve rapidly in the near future.
