FL CENTRIC HAS
BIG INVESTMENT
in TOURIST AIDS

Few persons realize, according to
H. E. Paul, chairman of the tourist
travel committee of the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce, just how
great a capital investment Ell Centro
has in the tourist business. Paul
states, I'VE have invested here in
hotels, auto camps, service stations
and enterprises catering exclusive
ly, or principally, to the tourist
travel an investment of S1,668,933
These figures were arrived at
through the help of Charles Brat
ton, deputy city assessor for the
purpose of preparing, with other
valley cities, a summary of just
what the investment in the tourist
facilities is in Imperial Valley. 1t
was compiled primarily to present
to the county board of supervisors
for their use in making advertis-
ing appropriations for the coming
fiscal year.
THE true amount" Paul con-
tinued, would be about S2,000,000
actual valuation, because the city
assessment is perhaps little under
actual value, therefore Ell Centro,
with an assessed valuation of
something like $12,000,000 has
81 100000 devoted to caring for the
visitor, tourist and motorist.
I'm making our computation"
Paul stated, 1--WE allowed only a
proportion of drug store stocks, only
a small part of the investment in
general merchandise stores, in ar
irving at the total. The most
formidable figures, of course, are
the hotels, rooming houses and
apartments which have an invest
ment of $914.000. Next in order
comes service stations with $26l $50
valuation. We do not include oil
company warehouses and oil sup
ply depots, assuming that they are
devoted largely to handling the
local trade and the gasoline busi-
ness of the ranches. Garage and
repair shops ran surprisingly high,
with a valuation of s219,955." Paul
concluded "The figures were sur
prising to me, as they must be to
every reader"
Still vacationing
The chamber of commerce has
adopted as one of its major OBJ
jectives the increasing of tourist
travel TO FL Centre and Imperial
Valley for the ensuing year. The
chamber directors and staff are
concentrating upon this objective.
Figures recently compiled by the
chamber staff indicate I h a
throughout the country the tourist
expenditures have fallen very lit
tie. Apparently the American cit
/ iZen is not going to be cheated of
his week -end or his summer vaca-
ton. Paul states 81, 10000, 900 was
spent by vacationists alone last
year throughout the United States
If this amount were equally di-
vided among all the states, Califor-
MAS share would be about $55, ,000,-
900. The fact is that California
gets considerably more than this
proportion, being one Of the larger
states and one which attracts tour
lists because of its varied scenery
If is the belief of the directors OF
the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce that Imperial Valley has
much to offer the motorist in the
way of climate, desert scenery and
agricultural activities and, with
about two-thirds of the cars which
enter the state using the Southern
California gateway, through Ell Gen.
tro and that the people here should
make the most of this tourist flow
and see that some of these tourist
dollars ere spent in this commun-

MARROW PRICE
R AN Ct ON
COTTON

NEW YORK, Jan. Is QNSO.
The cotton market again con-
tinued to contine its movements
to a comparatively narrow price
range today with changes ranging
from a gain of 2 points to a de.
cline of similar proportions in
the run of futures contracts.
The list was at its best when
the market moved up for gains
of as much as points, but this
was due largely to a paucity Of
offerings, with scattered buying
forcing prices up somewhat
briSkly for a spell.
Buying Fairly Heavy
On the buying side of the mar.
ket were trade buying orders
which had accumulated in fairly
heavy volume over the weekend,
especially in May and July.
Japanese interests bought the
near months, while cooperative
brokers bought December, while
selling March in a small way.
Around the noon hour, March
was up points at 6.65, May up
2 at $50, July up 2 at 6.98,
October up / at 7.20, December
up / at 7.37, and January off
at TAI.

COARSE YARN TRADE GAINS

NEW YORK, Jan. Is GN.SO.
Trading was somewhat improved
in the coarse yarn cloths market
today, with definitely good inter
est shown in far forward commit
mentS of number of types OF
cloth. Print cloths, broadcloths
and sheetings were active at ad-
vancing prices, and there was
some business in heavy goods, al
though the volume in the latter
division has not been comparable
with the general market. Low
count carded broadcloths ad-
vanced another 1s cent, bringing
the net cdvance in this division
since the recent rally to u cent
a year. Nearby deliveries Of high
er counts we're commanding
good premium over contracts,
and were difficult to locate even
at the new prices, a number hav-
ing been withdrawn from the
market on this type of goods for

NEW Low
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Jan. rs QN.SO.
Stocks ..larked time in a dull and
featureless market today. Some
disappointment was expressed
over prolonging Of the railway
wage conference into the current
week, but rail shares held firmly
and in some cases moved up to
fractionally higher levels.
General Electric was subjected
to strong box" selling and fell
to new low in its present form,
at 20la. General Motors was un.
changed and United States Steel
sold up fractionally.
RumOrs Rife
Wall Street faced a number Of
interesting problems as the new
week opened. Weekend rumorS
to the effect that an agreement
on wages would be issued from
the Chicago wage conference
"before the market opened" were
unfounded. The Steel Corpora
ton dividend action tomorrow is
a conundrum, no inkling having
been given by officials as to their
attitude toward further payment
of unearned dividends.
Steel Gains
With trading on the big board
dwindling to the lowest volume
of the year, stocks revolved in
mparatively narrow price
ranges. U. S. Steel moved up
to AZ. against Saturdays close
at 41A, and Auburn Auto rose
2 points. American Can. Con-
solidated Gas, General Motors
and Dupont we're the leaders in
activity of the old blue chip
group. forging ahead to frac-
tionally higher prices.
Foreign government bonds con-
Stituted the strongest section of
an irregular bond market and the
commodity markets were dull and
steady. Further easing of the
money market, with the aid of
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration and. other special agen-
cies, will be a favorable factor
in the recovery of bond values.
Call money was unchanged at 212
