COTTON SHORT SALES
BAN BILL is OPPOSED
New York Exchange Member De
tends Practice Before House
Committee.

BY the Associated Press.
Opposition of the New York Cotton
Exchange to proposed restrictions on
short sales was laid today before the
House Agricultural Committee.
William S. Dowell vice president of
the exchange, said, In our opinion 1t
is mistaken idea that short selling is
the cause Of, or aggraVates, a declining
tendency at any time"
He was the first witness to disap-
prove pending bills to prohibit or reg
ulate short selling on commodities ex-
changes.
DoWell held that restriction or pro-
hibition of short selling would ma
terially increase the risk and cost OF
doing business
Russell Clark president of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, also opposed
the pending bills.
Further regulation of the exchanges
is not called for by the trade and
therefore is not necessary" he told the
committee.
John A. Simpson of Oklahoma City,
representing the National Farmers I'm
ion, said that group, the National
Grange, the American Farm Bureau
Federation and the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of Amer
/ lea, hoped there would be some regu-
lation of short selling. 1t has 'retard-
! ed" economic recovery, he said.

Brokers' Comment
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 19.-Brokers
agreed today that the stock market ap-
peared to need news of constructive
nature if the rally was to be resumed.
Redmond g. Co.-The action of the
market suggests that some nearby con-
structive development is urgently need
ed if recent gains are to be extended.
Efforts of pools to attract following
in special issues have met with little
Roadway, presumably because of a gen.
cral disinclination to increase long COM
mitments until business shows signs OF
a definite upturn.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Co-The
shift to the commodity markets Is gen
orally viewed as a means of keeping
speculative interest active. The artt-
fetal aspects of this situation are quite
freely commented on and 1t is an open
question, of course, whether this pro-
cedure will prove effective.
Shields & Co.-With the Chicago con-
ferences losing their potential bullish
influence by reason of the relay the
reconstruction bill and foreign develop
ments become the dominant market in
1uences The recent action of the mar
ket reflects the lesser faith therein, so
that it will take definite favorable hap
penings to cause resumed rally worthy
OF being followed.
Hornblower & Weeks-Aside from
traders selling the past few days, we
see little evidence Of important liquida-
ton and under the circumstances would
expect the market to readily respond to
news developments of a constructive
,>atiIra which still lilo ahead Of IT.
Thomson & McKinnon-The inabil-
ity of the stock market to respond bet
ter to the sharp rise in wheat and the
more encouraging steel news is disap-
pointing. Obviously, with uncertainty
abroad and the railroad wage question
unsettled, the market is having diff
Guilty to extend its recent gains.
E. F. Acknowledgment markets are
inclined toward dizziness, with transat-
lantic issues in supply, in this morn
ing's early dealings. We think price
ranges of domestic issues will tend to
narrow. as trading continues at very
low ebb. Broadening of flrning ten
denotes in commodity prices would be
a powerful influence in Strengthening
prices for equities, but violent uprushes
in few commodities will result in little
confidence in the fundamental justifi-
cation OF the advance,
Paine, Weber & Co-Prices are now
back in a trading zone which was ira
Versed for five consecutive days. No
definite trend is indicated for the i'm
mediate future. The probabilities are
that stocks will remain in the present
trading area for some time, finding
support slightly below current levels
and meeting resistance to advance,
awaiting announcement of some i'm
portant news development

RETAIL TRADE HELD

Statisticians Say Condition
Promising Feature in Cur
rent Business.

by tne Associated PfeSS.
NEW YORK, January 19.-Retau
trade and distributive activity were
maintained in normal proportions in
December, the conference of statisticians
in industry reported yesterday, adding
that the condition was promising fea
ture of the current business picture.
The report, summarizing the written
opinion, of more than 10000 industrial
firms, and released by the National In
dustrial Conference Board. is based upon
statistical compilation for december
made at the earliest possible hour after
the close of the month.
Renewed Vigor Promising.
Although business activity in De-
cember revealed further contraction, -
the report said, promising features in
clude the sharp gain in automobile out
put and the renewed vigor with which
this industry and the railroads are ap-
preaching the opening months of the
year.
The increase in automobile produc-
ton, however, represented the change
in policy of the manufacturers where
by production is concentrated at this
period of the year instead of being
scattered.
Buildings and engineering conStruc-
ton showed more than seasonal de-
cline, as did pig iron, steel ingot and
electric power production.
Commodities Decline.
Wholesale prices of commodities IN
December declined under the average
for November by 2 per cent, and ''ir
so doing" the report said, resumed the
decline that seemed to have beer
stopped In the few previous months"
Declines were observed over broad
front with gains evident only in hides
and feathers, and chemicals.

ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGY
IN ADVERTISING SHOWN
BY the Associated Press.

3AooUNIdLtU
Psychology has an important place
in modern advertising methods.
An instance has been brought to the
attention of the Commerce Department
in which a merchandiser conducted a
selling campaign on tooth paste. When
this product was displayed in windows
with set of the finest silver obtain
able, thus emphasizing the quality of
the paste, increased sales amounting to
1918 per cent above normal were re-
corded In this instance the tooth
paste sold at 80 cents.
Subsequently mass display by the
same store of the same product at a
price of 30 cents brought no increase
in sales above normal, thus convincing
the merchant that well planned dis
plays were the means of getting profit
on a larger volume of business.

CHRISTMAS CLUB
RECORD SMASHED
Amounts Subscribed and
New Members Make High
Mark in Capital.

All previous records in this cfty IN
connection with Christmas Savings
Clubs have again been smashed IN spite
of the past years economic disturb
ances. Thirty-two local banks report
an increase in the amounts subscribed
to a total of over S8,500,000, gain in
the number of members in the club, and
a larger per capita amount pelng set
aside by the members.
Eliot H Thomson, chairman OF the
Advertising Committee of the District
Bankers Association, brought out these
facts in his report at the MldWmter
meeting of the association held last
night at the Willard Hotel. Chairman
Thomson's report follows:
Three Vital Records Broken.
"Washington has enthusiastically
adopted the Christmas Savings Club
idea, according TO the report made by
the Advertising Committee of the Dis
trict of Columbia Bankers Association
at the meeting of the association in the
Willard Hotel last night. In spite OF
the much talked-of depression, lO2 ,246
Washingtonians have joined the Christ
mas Clubs of 80 reporting banks, an in
crease of 3.547 over the number en-
rolled for 1881.
THE total amount subscribed also
compares favorably with the previous
wear and for the first time in local
history exceeds eight and half million
dollars. the increase being S205, l65.
The average subscription per member
is S84.9O. which exceeds the country
wide average of $500 reported by
Christmas Club Inc by $323O This
is ascribed to the educational cam
Daigns of the local Bankers ASsocia-
lions. which have consistently urged
the utilization of the Christmas Club
system of systematic savings for every
purpose, besides the praiseworthy prl-
mary object of providing FUNDS Tor
Christmas giving.
"Direct profit from the Christmas
clubs to the banks operating them Is a
debatabe subject, but all are agreed
that the welfare of the community Is
promoted and indirectly thereby the
banks are benefited
Brilliant Showing in Thrift.
This years report aroused unusual
interest among local bankers on &C
count of the business situation. 1t was
feared the 1882 clubs might IAN 10
reach the 1881 proportions, much less
to enter new ground. But the Christ
mas savings club idea has Vise-llke
grip on Washington. To picture the
situation a quick glance backward Is
worth while over period OF years each
wear showing new high marks. Records
of the number of members and the
amounts subscribed since 1924 are re-
called:

WILL AUTHORIZE AIRMAIL
CONTRACTS FOR ALASKA

The Postmaster General in his
annual report states that on
June 80, 1881, mails were car
ried in Alaska under authoriza-
tons Of the department. of &c
star routes, covering a distance
of 1874 miles. The appropria..
ton for the service for the year
vas $175,000. The estimated ex-
renditures were $144,286. The
Postmaster General says: "Due
to the limited transportation
facilities and the climatic con-
d{tions in Alaska, the cost Of
mail transportation is high, and
it is believed that an improved
service at no greater cost could
be secured by the use of air
planes for the carriage of all
classes of mail over certain
routes. A draft of legislation
which will authorize the Post
master General to contract for
air mail service in Alaska has
