YEAR SEEN
IN TIRE BUSINESS
Expected Increase In Re-
placement Demand Basis of
More Optimistic Forecast.
Special Dispatch to The star

Special Dispatch TO The star
CLEVELAND, January lo.-An ex-
pected increase in replacement demand
from American motorists should give
the tire industry substantial impetus In
1881, bringing expansion in output and
sterilization OF prices, according to the
Union Trust Co. in a survey of the rub
Der outlook.
Notwithstanding recent price reduc-
tons on tires, the bank expects the gen.
eral position of manufacturers. to I'm
prove this year. because inventory losses
have been written of and operating
efficiency is greater.
For 1891 q production Of approx
mately 81 ,000, 900 pneumatic castings is
predicted. This would be q gain of IA
per cent over the output of $500, 900 in
1880. In 1929 the total was 100000
castings.
Larger Buying Forecast.
American rubber manufacturers are
pinning their faith in 1881 for a re-
placement business of some $4,000 900
castings" says the bank in its magazine
Trade Winds In other words, this
would mean that about 20 per cent of
the American motorists would buy an
average of four new tires this year, or
is tires for every registered motor We
hicle in the United States.
Last years decline in replacement
came in spite Of the fact that more cars
were in use. It resulted largely from
the tendency to put of buying new
tires as long as possible, due to eco
nomic conditions.
Tire makers feel certain that 1891
will witness a revival of replacement
buying under the force of attractive
prices, actual necessity and improved
general business conditions. For new
equipment manufacturers see @ market
for approximately 100000 new tires
and tubes in 1881, based on a likely
production Of about 1000, 900 cars and
trucks.
Better Selling Conditions.
Leaders In the industry are confident
that 1881 will mark a period of sub
stantial improvement in manufacturing
and selling conditions, as well as in
more satisfactory profit margins. They
base their conclusions on the following
factors:
81. Apparent sterilization Of raw rub
Der prices, preventing repetition of the
inventory losses suffered in 1880. IN
ventories are now low.
2. The probability of large increase
in replacement demand for tires.
3. Increase in output of tires for
new motor vehicles as the automotive
industry improves its position in the
new year.
q. Progress in the elimination Of de-
structive competition.
IS Conclusion of marketing arrange
mentS by additional companies for
broader retail sale and service of tires
While the presence of these factors
is evident in the industry. 1t remains 20
be seen whether all of them will con-
tribute to the ultimate stability and
profit of tire manufacturers"

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 19.-The French
government plans to fix the price of
high-grade wheat at 50 a bushel, the
Associated Press was informed at the
ministry of agriculture today.
A bill to that effect has already been
prepared, and Minister of Agriculture
Victor Boret is confident that 1t will
be passed by Parliament. it was said.
Even at 50 a bushel, taking into con-
sideration high costs of production,
French farmers will just about break
even, in the opinion of the minister.
Under the proposed measure, some of
the lower grades of wheat will COM
mand lower price than So.

MOTOR LIST AFFECTED

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 1s.-The effect
Of the latest cut in prices by the Ford
Motor Co. has been to offset some of
the benefits which motor shares re-
ceived from the advance sales made at
the New York automobile show and
from the December figures of produce
ton given out by several of the large
manufacturers.
The necessity for reducing prices in
order TO stimulate demand and to
bring certain models to a parity with
others means unfavorable net earnings

He possesses a certain type OF
