contented himself with the asser'

but when they go out for sailfish

takes your breath. Mr.. and Mrs.

story is authentic. He says it is
one thing to land a sailfish from
a cruiser. but it is an entirely diff
ferent achievement to land one
from a rowboat. Any time you
think it isn't, hook up your out

Several local anglers are getting
ready or already have gone on
their winter fishing trip to Florida.

in spite of the fact that they
daily get their bag limit with

We say no, stay where you are.
1t seems to be the growing
consensus of opinion that there

two or three years. We don't

says that where this has been
done on other game, at least 80

this would hold true on ducks,
why not let the hunters take

One thing that we do believe
is that the season should run

they are bound to come in to the

that they have acquired during

BASIC FACTORS GIVEN
IN CALIFORNIA UPTURN

SAN FRANCISCO, December 26.-
Basic factors behind the increase in

materially this year are set forth ir

OF Activity Shown
At Steel Plants

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 26.-An un-
usual year-end rush for steel lifted
this weeks operations in the industry,
it was reported today.
The Iron Age stated that accumu-
lating pressure for steel, particularly
from the automobile industry, limited
the Christmas shutdown and caused q
general revision In mill schedules to
provide increased production.
1t estimated ingot output for the
industry had risen to 361a per cent Of
capacity from 35Ia a week ago and
forecast further gains before the year
end"
Automobile makers have gotten
into production in earnest" the trade
publication continued. December out
put, now estimated at 145,000 cars,
will exceed earlier estimates, and Jan
uary production will be the largest
for that month in five years, with tbs
final total dependent on how quickly
steel and automobile parts can be
made and delivered"

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 26.-Cotton
was fairly active at the start today. but
the business was connected largely with
the liquidation of January contracts
incident TO the circulation of the first
delivery notices and trading later
tapered of to comparatively small pro-
portions.
In addition to near month liquida-
ton there was little selling in later
months attributed to hedging against
cotton in one position or another, but
offerings were absorbed by the trade
on moderate declines and the under
tone was fairly steady.
March was selling around 1888 and
October 1854 in the midafternoon
market, with active months showing

MONTREAL, December 26.-Con-

all branches of industrial and mer-

STEEL IS ORDERED
FOR FARM TOOLS
implement Firms and Auto
Industry Take Lead in
Expansion.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, December 26-Ex-
panding demand for steel to make
plows, tractors and other farm imple-
ments attracted the notice Of Wall
Street business observers today as they
studied year-end trends for a line on
1895 trade prospects.
Along with the automobile industry,
farm-tool makers were reported to be a
leading source of the buying which
has lifted steel operations steadily up
ward in recent weeks.
Students of the farm equipment in
dustry pointed out it was favored by
prospects for increased domestic crops
next year.
Machinery Sales Jump.
Despite one of the most devastating
droughts in history and curtailed crops
of wheat, cotton and other staples I'M
der production control programs, 1t
was estimated sales Of farm machinery
in 1884 were approximately 70 per
cent larger than in 1888. For the first
10 months Of the year, according to
the Farm Equipment Institute, do
meStic sales were "a per cent ahead of
the total in the corresponding period
last year.
Any further improvement in de-
mand for farm machinery, it was
noted, would mean increased manu-
featuring schedules.
AS farmers experienced gains in in
come from higher prices for grains,
cotton, hogs and other cash crops and
from payments for crop control, COL
lections of leading equipment manu-
facturers improved markedly.
1t was estimated in one quarter pay
ments on farm equipment notes this
year had averaged at least so per cent
better than in 1888.
Further Gains Expected.
Normal equipment replacement pur-
chases by farmers in this country were
figured at about $500, 100000. Total
sales this year were estimated around
5000 900, 900. That would leave room
for further improvement from replace
ment purchases alone, without figur-
ing on exports and expansion in use
Of machinery.
The head of one important factor in
the industry recently said he expected
so per cent gain in the business of
his company next year.
