AS guaged by papers filed in the Of
flee of the register of deeds, real es-
tate activity slumped slightly in June
when there were 26 deeds, compared
with 80 in May and 40 in June last
year.
For the first half of 1886, the total
of deeds is 1856, as compared with 22O
in the first six months of 1885,
June was the smallest month of the

a quarter lower than they were
in the same period last year. This
is the only important automobile
manufacturer to show a drop.
Smaller, sO-ealled independent
makers are also going ahead in
company with their big brothers.
Nash has been losing money ever
since 1932-in the first quarter
OF this year it made a profit OF
$4,000. In the first quarter last
year, Packard lost around q mil
lion and a quarter dOllars-this
year it earned that much while
Hudson had a net of almost $780,
600, and recognized Studebaker
Corporation Melted over 100000.
Interesting fact, pointed out by
Time, is that the buying trend is
toward cars in the medium and
high-priced groups, away from the
cheaper cars. In the quarter, the
lOw-priced makes increased output
by Is per cent, as compared with
Al per cent for all other cars.
Over 80 per cent of all cars
sold come from the factories of
Ford, Chrysler and General Mo-
tors. In the first quarter indie
pendents managed to make only
an infinitesimal dent in this per-
centage.
Present forecast Cor the indus
try is that sales, following past
seasonal experience. will slowly
decline until late summer, when
new models will appear on the
market.
Other industries, while not so
spectacular as motors, are also
doing well. Some brief items o.
interest follow:
TELEPHONE: A. T. & T. re-
ports that in the first four months
of this year it had a net rise in
telephones in use o. 278,500 as
compared with 161 900 in the
same period last year.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT :
Orders in this field (which in
cludes batteries. home appliances.
electric motors, etc. received by
70 makers totaled over 1888, 0OO,-
600 in the first quarter Of this
year-a &c per cent gain over last
year.
RAILROADS: Freight traffic
is steadily rising, with Western
lines showing the astonishing gain
of 21O per cent over last year.
RETAIL TRADE: In 1885, for
which complete figures have been
issued by Retailing" retail out
lets did $2,481, 100000 worth OF
business "a gain o. 9 per cent
over 1884. Profits rose 10 per
cent, totaled more than $132, 000,-
600.
CORPORATE DIVIDENDS :
Business Week says that "Divi-
dends declared by leading cor
porations in the first four months
OF this year amounted to $685.
S,419, a 10 per cent increase
over the amount distributed in the
same months Of 1885"

Hodges, Candidate For Governor,
Gives Interesting Address Last
Night In Interest OF Candidacy

William c. Hodges Homestead
Bill" gained the attention of his
hearers at the beginning of his
speech at Bayview Park last night
and held it until the last word was
spoken.
He spoke of Key West and it's
many attractions, how years age
he had met many people of this
city and even today was able to
greet them and address them by
name, and in many instances their
first names.
One of the first people he met
years ago was Charles Ketchum,
who gave him pith helmet, which
was the ugliest thing he had ever
seen and every time he wore it
called for the criticism of Mrs
Hodges, but he still had it and
cherished it as the gift OF a dean
friend.
At the introduction of the
speaker the mayor called Mis-
Hodges from the audience. Mount
ing the stand Mrs. Hodges spoke a
few words of welcome and indi-
Gated her pleasure at being in Key
West.
Mr.. Hodges said that he had
frequently heard his wife's voice
around the home, and had often
wondered how it would sound
over the micrOphone. Now that
his ambition has been gratified
he was satisfied.
Mentions Transportation
1.-TWO things l want to call your
attention to are of vital interest
to Key West" said the speaker.
One OF these is the lack OF trans
portation facilities. which lack
has prevented him arriving weeks
ago. The first time he started
for Key West the bridge between
No Name Key and Big Pine burn

ned was by plane, and this time

CANNON GIVES
TALK AT PARK
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
WAS HEARD BY VOTERS
HERE LAST NIGHT

Pat Cannon, young practicing
attorney of Miami and candidate
for congress from the Fourth
Florida District, addressed a
group of voters at Bayview Park
last night.
He is a forceful speaker and
devoted most of his allotted time
to disparaging words relative to
the administration of Mark VII
COX and making unkind remarks
about those who support him.
He also made a number of
promises as to what he would do
in the event he was elected. The
same thing has been said before,
the same promises made, and re-
suits have been the same. it was
said by a number of his hearers.
Mr.. Cannon left by bus this
morning for Miami. accompanied
by George I. Knowles.

The American automobile in
dustry must hold all world records
when it comes to emerging from
depression. 1t was the first in
dustry to show signs of recovery;
and it is still the leader.
Motors first squirt forward Oc
CURED near the end Of 1884. Dur
ing the depths of depression, car
and truck sales had dropped close
to the vanishing point. Retail out
lets for all makes Of cars were in
difficulties. and many OF them
found the going too tough and
had to fold up. In 1885, the pic
ture underwent drastic change.
Car and trucks sales zoomed for
ward. and the assembly lines in
Detroit and Flint and elsewhere
hummed. There was an obvious
reason for the amazingly fast i'm
provement-a large part OF Anne
rica's gasoline-powered trolling
stock" was completely out of
date, and mach of it was utterly
unusable and unsafe. But no one
expected motors boom to go on
indefinitely. Supposition was that
a certain number of new cars
would be sold, and that the in
dustry would slow down again.
That supposition proved to be
practically 100 per cent wrong.
Apparently the average American
would rather have. a new car than
anything else, and the first place
he goes when his bank account
swells is to the automobile agen-
cies. He is buying relatively few
homes, few new furnaces or air
conditioning machines. He is buy
ing cars-and how!
Nineteen-thirty-five was the
motor industry's best year since
1929. Now the figures for produc-
ton and earnings in the first
quarter OF 1886 are out-and
they indicate that this year is
going to put '35 in the shade.
Giant of the industry, as every
one knows, is General Motors.
,Ts;a corporation recently report
ed its best first-quarter since
1929-and the fourth best quar-
ter in its entire history. In April
alone, the concern sold 100000
cars-an all-time record for a
month. It's net income FOR the
quarter was almost 70 per cent
better than in the same period
last year, and came to more than
$52,000,000. GMC directors de-
clared the usual soc quarterly di-
vidend, then made stockholders
happy with Use extra dividend.
Chrysler, another member of
the big three of motordom. had
the second biggest quarter in its
history biggest was last three
months of 1857 when it earned
over $11, 100000 net. It's directors
jubilantly jumped the quarterly
dividend soc, to $3.50 a share.
Third member of the big three,
Ford. is not a corporation, and
profit figures are not given out.
