Washingtonians during the 1888
year purchased more than 1000
new cars than during the 1882
year.
This enormous purchase of new
automobiles was responsible for
keeping employed over $4,000 men
for a period Of approximately rs
days in the manufacturing indus
try.
One out Of every nine families
in Washington purchased a new
Car last year, which is proved by
the fact that Washington automo-
bile dealers in 1888 sold in excess
of 14,26O new cars, which repre-
sents an increase of over 7.6 per

Finance Corporation buy newly
mined domestic gold at the world
price in an effort to raise COM
modify prices. This program was
later enlarged to permit the pur-
chase Of gold in world markets.
The effect Of this latest step on
Government bonds was prompt
and emphatic, with virtually all
Of the issues comprising the group
entering a protracted decline
which lasted close to a month and
forced several obligations to new
low ground for the year. Selling
Of Governments. as well as invest
ment grade loans, was accelerated
by precipitouS fall in the dollar
in terms of foreign currencies.
The next development came
late in November, when the first
rumblings Of concerted opposition
to the Administrations initiation
ary policy were heard. With U. S.
Government loans scraping their
lowest level in some time, and the
mid-December period, when ma
turing obligations would have to
be met, close at hand, a soft-ped-
aling policy was adopted.
Conservatism Indicated
Thus, by holding the R. F. C..
price for gold unchanged for pc
riod of week at a time, a swing
toward conservatism was indi-
Gated. This brought prompt re-
percusSions into the foreign ex-
change market, in which the dol
lar staged q violent rebound, and
also stimulated q. s. Government
bonds and high grade loans.
It was at this time also that
Acting Secretary Of the Treasury
Morgenthau announced that he
was using idle Federal funds for
investment in Government Securi-
ties. It was considered coinci-
dental that this latest step came
when the Federal Reserve System
had completed it's buying program
Of U. S. Governments.
One Of the years outstanding
features was the spectacular ad-
vance in foreign government obli-
cations, synonymous with the
soaring Of foreign currency rates
against the dollar. The an
nounced intention of the Admin
iStration to force the dollar down.
ward, and the powers bestowed
upon it by Congress resulted in a
heavy flight of investment funds
from domestic securities into for
eign government bonds which
were payable in gold or in cur
rency Of that country.
French Loans Above Par
Thus, at one time or another,
French loans sold at q premium
of 73 points above par. Switzer-
land 51as were up 70 points, the
Dutch East Indies group were up
as much as Sc points, and other
loans to a lesser extent. German
bonds, however, due to unsettled
political conditions in the Reich,
were quoted at q substantial dis
count throughout the year.
Turnover in bonds during the
year was quite heavy, surprising
that Of the three years preceding.
Rails were the group contributing
the largest increase over previous
wears.

VALUE Of FARM
CROPS SHOW
BIG GAIN
Department of AgriCuIture'S
Final Reports Reveal
AZ Per Cent Boost

The value of farm crops grown
in the United States this year il
put at $4,076,537, 900, in the fina
1888 estimate of the Department
of Agriculture, comparing with
$2,879,517,000 in 1882, a gain oi
approximately AZ per cent, anC
only slightly under the $4,102,354,
900 production of 1881.
The figures are based on farm
market value as Of December /
except for those crops on which
marketing is completed, where the
valuation is upon the season
average.
The increased value came in
the face of a decline Of about
Is per cent below last year i'm
the production of ten principal
crops, covering about 80 per
cent of acreage planted to all
field and truck crops. The
volume harvested in these ten
crops was lower than in any Of
the last 80 years.
The amount received by
farmers this year as compared
with 1892 was particularly
marked in corn, cotton, wheat
and tobacco. The 1888 value Of
these commodities was placed
by the department at S2,153,-
O25,OOO, an increase of $S22,-
$4,000, or 62 per cent over last
year.
While the amount of corn har
vested declined from 2,906,873, ,O0(
bushels in 1882 to 2,330,237, ,00(
bushels this year, the return tC
farmers increased from $558,902,
900 to $917,605,00O in the same
period.
The wheat harvest was similarly
reduced, from 744,976,000 bushels
to 527,413,OO0, but the value in
creased from $238,305 900 to $357,
$4,000.
More Cotton and Tobacco
The cotton crop was slightly
larger this year than last, ever
after 100000 acres were taker
out of cultivation under the re-
duction program of the Agricul'
tural Adjustment Administration
but the return to planters wa!
nearly doubled over 1882.
Total cotton harvested wa!
placed at 13,177,00O bales this
year, compared with 1902. .00(
for 1882, and the value of the
crop increased from $371,861 ,00t
to $617,716,000.
Tobacco production also was
larger this year, the final yielc
being figured at 1896 ,174,00(
POUNDS as against 1922, 2,558, ,00C
pounds in 1882. This years re-
turn to planters was $1SO,647 900
compared with SLOT 1857 900 las
year.
Income Bases Higher

and arrest of reporters whenever
stories sent to newspapers favor
the working class or disagree with
the politics of the police depart
ment.
This time the charge against me
is printing and circulating sedi-
tious literature" Detective Mozer
of the red squad" in making the
arrest based it on my story wired
by me to the Daily Worker appear
ing in issue of May II. I pointed
out to Mozer that this article was
printed and circulated in another
city but he disregarded this fact,
saying that copies of it reached
Birmingham.
The irony Of this arrest lies in
the fact that it followed cordial
noncommittal conversation with
Commissioner Downs who. while
refusing to give definite assurances
on civil liberty, stated that he knew
of no cases of interference with
the rights of citizens in Birming-
ham, and that he believed in free
dom of the press unless, of course,
the stories printed were lies.
Downs denied any personal
knowledge of homes Of white and
Negro workers being invaded and
searched without warrant, al
though we showed him a list of
Ia cases with names and addresses.
AS we were leaving Downs Of
flee a few thugs standing in the
corridor whispered, "We'll get the
license number of their car and
run them out of town" Following
these threats Mozer took me in
custody.
The delegation unanimously
states, "Lawson's arrest raises
clear the issue of press censorship
in a form practically unheard of
in a free country, The charge in
wolves solely Lawson's professional
activity as a newspaper man, and
is clear violation of the rights
of the press. If the police can
misuse their authority in this way
against reporters no newspaper
man is safe"
