CAR SALES DRIVES
TO Be SPEEDED UP
New Model Announcements
in October Will Cut
Season Short.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, February 16.-Producers
and distributors in the motor car in
dustry expect a speeding up of sales
activity to be one of the results Of
the manufacturers plans to advance
the new model announcement period
this year.
The sales graph since January ! has
shown a steady upward trend and, in
the opinion of leading sales authori-
ties, this will continue with only a
moderate levelling of during the Mid
summer months. The sustained con-
sumner demand that marked the early
Autumn months of 1888 and 1884 was
something contrary to tradition in the
industry. but because of the trade
belief that only small part OF the
potential demand of the last two
years has been felt. the general expec-
tation prevails that retail require
ments this year will carry well up to
the new model announcement season.
Retooling plants for new types is
not only an expensive undertaking,
but one that requires several weeks
and an advance commitment by each
producer for the needed materials.
Thus, If the industry's 1886 types are
to be in production on or before Octo-
Der 1. sales activity for 1885 must be
concentrated in a much shorter period
than for many years past.
In connection with the earlier new
model announcement date trade cir
cles are speculating as to whether
changes next Fall will not be less no
ticeable than during the last three
or four years. Several producers have
been delayed in getting into full fac
tory activity, although the outlay for
new production equipment has ave-
ragged up fairly well with the expendi-
lures of previous years. These max
ers stand to derive a smaller gross re-
turn from their new types if they
swing along with others in shutting
down on 1885 output early enough to
have their next years models in pro-
duction by October /.

NEW YORK, February 16.-Record
high prices for United States Govern
ment bonds in the last few days, espe-
cially the newer issues. direct atten-
ton to the position Of the Govern
ment as a security owner. The Gov
ernment row is the largest owner of
securities in the world.
The Federal Governments as OF
September 30. 1884. held $l6,955, ,000,-
600 of securities, or the equivalent Of
81 per cent of its net debt on the
same date. This ownership, accord
ing to an analysis by the National
Industrial Conference Board, resulted
from the participation of the United
States in the World War and the
creation Of quasi-governmental agen-
cies.
Foreign Assets Doubtful.
Foreign securities held by the
United States Government amount
to $12,015, 100000. The collection Of
any considerable part of this total,
the Conference Board states, depends
on the attitude Of this country to-
ward a revision of the debt agree

greater part of the foreign obliga-
tions." the board says. ARE doubtful

eventually be liquidated cannot be
closely estimated"

1894, held $3,075, ,000, 900 Of notes Of
the Reconstruction Finance Corp. and
the entire capital stock, $500, 0,000, 900
Of the corporation. Some Of the
funds Of the corporation were used,
however, to buy capital stock Of gov
ernmental corporations and other
obligations. The total for these items
is $6l3, 100000. When this amount
is deducted from the gross total of
$3,575 900, 900 for the r. F. c., the
net amounts to $2,962, ,000, 900.
Besides, the Government owns capi-
tai stock and other obligations of gov

tirely OF equities.
F. E. A. Amount Largest.
Miscellaneous groups of securities
held, as of September 80, 1884, total

Of this total is $2l4,000.000 for obli-
cations acquired by the Federal Emer-
gency Administration of Public Works.

vances made from the revolving. fund,
ranked second with a total of $780,

FARMERSFAV0RED
BY PRICE TRENDS
New Deal Economists Study
Effects of Widespread
ReadjuStment.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,


Current price trends are receiving
close attention from New Deal econo-
mists in view of the potentialities they
hold politically and for business.
Readjustments in the domestic
price structure lately have been
strongly in favor of agricultural pro-
ducers and toward lower levels in i'm
portant groups of manufactured and
semi goods.
Reactions from top 1884 prices have
been particularly noticeable in tex
tile products, building materials and
the metals group.
What this means, students of prices
point out, Is that the position of the
farmer as a purchaser Of goods mas
improved, at least theoretically.
Some benefits Lost.
Ordinarily, these trends would be
construed as highly significant for
business, particularly in early stages
of recovery.
In past depressions. correction Of
price disparities usually has been a
prerequisite to restoration Of normal
exchange Of goods between city and
rural producers.
At present, however, the signif-
canoe for business has been impaired,
it Is argued, by the influence Of scar
city Of supply resulting from last Sum-
mer's drought and production control
in lifting prices Of farm products.
With less to sell, the farmer does
not receive proportionate benefits in
the aggregate from rising prices. At
the same time higher food prices cut
the purchasing power Of city con-
sumers. Price students have been
applying these axioms to the current
situation.

Wide Gap Being Closed.

Nevertheless, the closing Of the wide
gap which existed between farm
prices and other groups at the depths
of the defation in 1888 Is considered
of potential Importance in the latter
half of the year. Crop experts have
forecast larger yields.
Although 1t is feared In farm quar-
ters larger crops may depress prices.
the farmer stands to come out ahead
in consequence Of steady or declining
prices Of the goods he buys from the
city. That, at any rate, is the view
held by some price analysts.

Time Limit Extended
 For Jamboree Quota
Parents Interested in Sending Boy Scouts to Washing
 ton Given Additional Time to Register

Chief Marstcn said there would be no information obtainable on the strength of the regional quota to date until statistics were proper. ly compiled at Jarnboree headquar. ters in New York. It is expected that the New England delegation of 2,5O0 will reach full strength, however, during the three months which remain before the jamboree.
 Names of the local delegates will be announced during the coming month following interviews by the jamboree committee, according to MT Marston. The work of pass ing upon the qualifications of the applicants will begin May 13.
 In the meantime, MT Marston said, any scout parent interested in sending boy with the Water- bury delegation will receive full information on applying at the To. cal council office in the Brown building. The approximate cost of financing the attendance of a delegate to the jamboree is $50. Estimates are based upon the re- ouirements of the National Council and the National Jamboree con- mittee and include the items of equipment necessary for each scou: as member of the councils jamboree contingent and costs rela- tive to the Intensive Training Camp" to be conducted at Camp Morris Buck August 12-1S. In addition it is estimated that about $15 will be necessary for personal expenses incidental to the trip.

No Arrests, No Cases
 Judge Remains Home

Despite the fact that May day is the annual occasion for trouble in most parts of the world, Waterbury was so much on its good bevavior to-day that no city court session was needed. No arrests were made yesterday, and since no. con. tinued cases were slated for hearings this morning it was unnecessary to hold court.
 This morning marked the first time in many weeks that no court session was held. Judge John F. McGrath, who is on the bench this week, was reached at his home before court and informed thath there were no cases for disposal.
