COTTON QUIET
AND STEADY

NEW YORK. Dec. 26 0.N.SD.
The cotton market steadied some
what after initial dealings and
rallied to net about 10 cents a
bale as a better tone developed
when no notices were issued
against the January contract.
The market remained quiet and
steady thereafter, with quota
tions about unchanged from clos
ing levels of Tuesday.
The trade, the Continent, Wall
Street and commission houses
were the principal support OF the
market. Spot houses, the South,
and, to some extent, locals, were
selling.
The failure of notices to be
issued against an option on first
notice day is generally interpreted
as a cheerful market indication
Today is first notice day IN JAN
nary and although notices may
still be issued before the end OF
the session the failure Of such
notices to come out Immediately
indicates that none may be is
sued at all today.
The new December contract
opened at 1861. a point higher
than the October delivery. If
the option runs true to form it

beneath October, however
Towards noon March was quoted
at 11.34, up 2; May, 11.19, up 2;

CANADIAN JOBS
AT 5-YEAR HIGH

Continued evidence Of industrial
progress, rise in employment to
the highest level in five years and
significant development in the
wheat trade and in the tariff
relationship between Canada and
other units of the British Empire
have marked the final month Of
the year in Canadian trade, ae-
cording to the year-end business
summary of the Bank of Montreal.
With respect to the wheat trade,
the bank reports that the outlook
for a solution of Canada's market
ing problem has improved through
world conditions and by the
action of the government of Arg.
entina in fixing the price to wheat
producers in that country on a
basis which. at the prevailing
rate of exchange. approximates 80
cents per buSheI. Demand for
CanadaS wheat came into the
Winnipeg market in volume, &C
cording to the summary, and the
export demand is continuing.
Business generally has been
more buoyant than at this period
of last year. the bank points out.
Both urban and country retailers
report that the public is buying
at a larger scale than a year ago.
There is clear evidence of greater
purchasing power in the Prairie
provinces, for, although to date
the returns from wheat have been
unsatisfactory, the farmers rev.
enues from other sources have
been substantially higher.

Belief among foreign investors

be one of the primary factors
which prompted the flow Of $780,

Attrihuting this inflow of gold
to three major factors, the board
said one of them was the demand
for American securities. The board
added:

DETROIT, Nav 3O-The motor
car Industry, one OF the most hiphly
competitive institutions In the indus

most closely knit where common OBJ
1ectives are involved, as a result Of
developments of the last five years.
PRODUCTION competition reached its
highest point in the industry in the
Doom year OF 1929, when the factories
produced cars and trucks so rapidly
that dealers were swamped with new
vehicles from the manufacturers and
used cars from customers. Comneti-
non 1or business has not eased in the
slightest degree, but il is a competi.
non based on actual consumer re-
ouirements. In other words, produc-
tion currently is under absolute con-
trol OF the manufacturers, with The

through common action.
While 1t was the code Of fair COM

hicles and eliminated the bargain

For the most part the industry has

attempt is made by express definition

distinctly rejects and condemns the

Referendum To Be Held By The

Wheat growers of Garrett county
will be given an opportunity to par

which is to be held on May rs, under
the auspices of Agricultural Adjust
ment authorities in Washington, it is
announced by John H. Carter, County
Agent. The present contracts under
which farmers have received benefit
payments for reducing their produc-
ton of wheat, expire with the harvest
ing of this years crop. The purpose of
the referendum is to find out whether
wheat growers want a similar wheat
control program carried out in future
years. This is the question on which
they will vote: 'Do you favor continu-
ing a wheat adjustment program to
follow the present one, which expires
with the 1885 crop year,"
Mr.. Carter states that all farmers
who signed contracts under the present
wheat program, and also all who were

they have done so or not, are entitled
to vote on the question. He says there
are forty-one signers Of wheat con-
tracts in Garrett county, and that the
total number eligible for voting is in
the neighborhood of 497.
The proposed future program, it is
stated, would follow in general out
lines the present program 1t would be
based upon voluntary contracts fer
the four years 1886, 1887, 1888 and
1889, with optional provision for CON
tinuing it from year to year during
this period. Acreage and production
base period would remain the same
thus avoiding working out new alIot-
ments. Adjustments payments and
processing taxes would be determined
as in the present program.
