INDUSTRY REACTS
FAVORABLY TO SHOW RESPONSE
Confidence of Manufacturers Stronger Now
Than at Any Time Since 1929
Market Collapse

month of the year is unusual in the
automobile industry.
Here and there In the industry in
creased manufacturing activity Is re-
ported with employment rolls showing
q marked upturn as compared with the
like period year ago, or with the
Midsummer months. Parts suppliers
also report orders aggregating consid-
erably more than those of a year ago.
Engineering departments of the various
motor car companies and the tool shops
are said to be working overtime in
some instances.
Twelve and IS hour days are re-
ported in some of the body plants.
Replacement Is Expected.
All this increased activity, of course,
Is due mainly to new car production
and no effort is made to regard it as
due to increased consumer demand 1t
is pointed out, however, that the very
existence Of the motor car industry to
great extent depends upon its ability
to produce improved. models each year
and that In the present instance it has
staked great deal on the appeal of
the new models.
I'VE realize" said one authority in
the industry, that a large part of the
1882 market for motors cars will be of the
replacement type. We are not at
tempting to misinterpret the signs of
the times and lead ourselves to believe
that millions of people are just waiting
for business conditions generally to i'm
prove before they start purchasing mo-
tor cars.
"At the same time We know that
much as the idea has been scoffed at,
there is large and constantly growing
backlog that will supply large volume
of business once confidence has been
entirely restored. Nothing the owner
or manufacturer can do can halt obso-
lescence In motor cars. In some in
stances 1t will be mechanical and in
others style obsolescence, but it will be
obsolescence, none the less that, will
mean the replacement of old cars with
new"
Based on the value of finished prod
ucts, the automobile industry in 1881
retained its place as the largest manu-
featuring industry in the world. The
2,465 900 passenger cars and trucks pro-
duced in the United States and Canada
with the accessories, service equipment
parts and tires had a wholesale value

Buckland concludes, even though he
declined to admit that the corporation
has arranged to obtain funds at once,
preliminary to receipts which will ac-
crue to it as a result OF the rate ad-
vances authorized recently by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
That the French gold Withdrawals
are without the slightest significance is
obvious. The amounts to be taken out
have been included in the Bank of
France reports and have never figured
in reports published by the Federal Re
serve Bank regarding its holdings of
the yellow metal
1t is, however, possible that these
shipments, involving some SIPS 100000
Will be misunderstood and consequently
misinterpreted, Moreover, they might
lead other depositors to call for their
balances, small though they may be.
The early commencement of activities

ton should, however, tend TO more than
offset Withdrawals because it will not
only put stop to boarding, but will in
all probability bring out much of the
gold that has been hidden away.
France will not permit reparations to
be taken away Pierre Laval, French
premier, told the Chamber of Deputies,
Germany is unable to pay reparations,
Heinrich Bruening, German chancellor,
told an audience in Frankfort.
Both speak for home consumption.
The solution will lie somewhere between
the extreme views which the spokesmen
for France and Germany are obliged to
hold. Germany will agree to some form
of payment, while France will accept
some form OF revision. 1t is the con-

their utmost to afford them such salts

New York Cotton

NEW YORK, January 81 Cp.-Cot-
ton opened steady today at an advance
of 4 to 5 points on trade buying and
covering, promoted by relatively stead
ier Liverpool cables. March sold at
6.72.
Steadiness of the opening stock mar
ket afforded buyers further encour-
agement, but the advance to $50 for
May and TOT for July seemed to en-
courage selling which caused slight
Setbacks, but offerings were absorbed
by continued covering or trade buying.
and the market was holding steady at
the end of the first half hour with &C
tive months showing net advances OF
l to points.
Liverpool cables reported local and
Continental buying with trade calling
in that market, and said there was
scarcity of contracts. An improving
demand for cotton cloths from the
British home trade was reported In the
Manchester market.
While there was only q moderate
volume of business. cotton held steady
later in the morning Offerings were
light and a fair demand accompanied
by reports of a continued firm spot
basis in the South, was sufficient to
hold the active months about to
points above yesterdays closing quota
tions, with March selling around STA
and July 7.06 at midday.

REALTOR DEFENDS
HOME LOAN BANKS
Declares Little Initiation"
Will Bring Country "Out
of the Woods"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, January 21.-A little
bit of imitation to bring the country out
of the woods" was advocated here yes
terday by Harry 8. Kissell, Springfield,
Ohio speaking before the National As
sociation of Real Estate Boards, the
presidency of which he will relinquish
tomorrow.
Kissell made his statement In reply
to opponents of the establishment OF a
system of Federal home loan discount
banks, who have charged that such a
plan is an inflationary measure. Those
against the measure, now before Con-
greSS, have asserted it would foster the
construction of 100000 unnecessary
homes.
Would Release Cash.
"The plan would make available ST.
000000,000 for the releasing of real es-
tate securities" Kissell said. Short
term paper banks are able to discount
Short-term loans through the Federal
Reserve banks, he pointed out, while
savings banks and savings and loan in
stitutions dealing In real estate mort
cages have no second line of credit de-
fenSe..
IF such institutions could have taken
their prime paper, properly amortized
to regional banks for discounting, there
would have been no demand by the peo-
pie for their funds"
program of tax revision, including
suggested changes in method of con-
trolling the expenditure of public funds,
their collection and reorganization OF
the smaller units of Government, was
presented to the association by the as
Sociation's tax adviser, Simeon E. Le-
land of Chicago.
Says Tax Too Heavy.
Real estate, he said, bore too heavy
tax burden because communities make
little effort to tax the intangibles.
Townships, he characterized as relics
of the horse -and-buggy age" and he
advocated their abolishment, as they
have been in all but IT States.
He also advocated the consolidating
of many counties in the States.
Assessors and their supervisors should
be made State officials under civil serv-
ice rules, he said, and valuations should
be made by improved appraisal meth
ods, assuring uniform standards of as
SeSSment.

DETROIT, January 2l-Arrayed in
its finest raiment-new models that In
price, quality, appearance and mechan-
ical perfection surpaSs anything hitherto
brought out-the automobile industry Is
preparing to step out. Encouraged by
the reception the new models have re-
ceived at the first group showing in the
New York show, the industry's leaders
believe a very definite improvement in
consumer demand is about to begin.
Throughout the two years of re-
stricted production and demand that
followed the collapse Of the automobile
market late in 1929 there have been
optimistic statements that the bottom
was being scraped and the upturn just
a short time ahead. At no time during
that period, however, has there been as
much quiet confidence as that prevail
ing now in the midst of the show sea-
son and with the new models attracting
greater interest than their makers had
expected.
In some quarters there is disposition
to believe the one restraining factor In
the automotive picture at present is the
continued delay in the announcement
of the 1882 Ford models. The trade Is
said in these circles to believe that
whatever the Ford plans may be, their
eventual disclosure Will eHcAI bcAlC~
fetal influence all around by the elimi-
nation of uncertainties and the release
of new buying power.
Halted for Changes.
AutomotiYe circles generally appear
to have accepted as assured the re-
ported plans OF the Ford Co. to present
both new four-cylinder model and
Weight. Production of the new
four is said to have started last week
only to be halted for further changes
The four, it is now understood, will
not be ready for presentation at the
Detroit Automobile Show, which opens
this week end. The eight is expected
to make its appearance late next
month or early in March.
Preliminary sales figures assembled
by one leading statistical agency indi-
cate the steady decline In new motor
car sales, which began in April, 1881,
was halted in December. Some, II
not all. of the rise in December un-
doubtedly was due to the presentation
of new models, for rise in the final

was one of the most fragrant ex- hibitions of reckless driving of motor vehicle he had witnessed in years.
 According, to the charge made by Mir Jewett. schuman driving a truck owned by I. Levy, local junk dealer, approached the cor. ner of Grand and Bank streets about the time Mir Jewett's ma chine reached the intersection. whether 1t was due to defective brakes, as intimated by the ac- cused. or just an instance of him going nowhere in hurry. Schu- man drove the machine across the little park" at the intersection and directly into the path of the Massachusetts car, ripping the bumper off of the latter. Had he continued straight ahead and taken the light which favored him, the crash would have been avoided, but schuman for some reason swung to the right into the path of the car.
 Schuman was placed under ar- rest by Officer Foley on the charges of reckless driving and operating without registration.
 A test of the machine was made by the police and the additional charge of operating defective car may be preferred against the youth. He and his employer had an argument in the cell room at headquarters when Levy called to demand to know of Schuman why he didn't stay where he was inc structed. Schuman turned on his boss and described the machine with a number of uncompliment- ary adjectives.
