HUGE YEAR SEEN
FOR AUTO TRADE
Observer Predicts Industry
to Produce and Sell
3,350,00O Cars.
BY DAVID WILKIE,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

DETROIT, Aug. 22.-The automo-
bile industry's tomtom beaters-the
gentlemen whose function 1t is to
publicize the business clbuilding mo-
tor cars and to persuade potential buy
ers to gather at the sales counters
are finding material in current devel-
opments for more optimism than has
been their portion for many months.
All can see q big year ahead for the
manufacturer and distributor Of au-
tomobiles Few, however, care to put
their optimistic outlook into specific
terms. Consequently at the risk Of
being scoffed at 81 months hence, this
writer has accepted a suggestion that
he venture q few independent pre-
dictions for the 1889 model season,
which for all practical purposes gets
under way about November !.
He believes that:
The industry will produce $3.50 900
of its 1889 models-and sell all of
them.
There will be no used-car problem
as the new model year gets under
way, but that there will be another
large accumulation af traded-in We
hicles early in the 1899 calendar
year.
No workable junking scheme will be
adopted by the industry before the
noiH11o nf ot al
Some price reductions will be made,
but that much more important to the
buyer will be the Improvements con-
templated in the new models. Note
worthy mechanical advances In the
loW-priced field will stimulate buyer
interest in the cars that make UP ap-
proximately 80 per cent Of all the We
hicles sold
None of the Cheaper and lighter"
models, with which four or five pro-
ducers have been experimenting for
more than a year, will appear during
the 1899 season.
The end of 1899 will find 81. 500 900
cars and trucks registered in the
United States and there will be room
for at least 100000 more without
material changes in the Nations high
way system.
Pertinent to the guess as to next
years volume Of output are two fac
tors: The industrys production in
ventory is the most flexible thing it
possesses. it could be stepped up to the
5000 ,O0O-unit level with little diff
Guilty, the long-sought stabilization
formula that would maintain a con-
slant volume of output has not vet
been discovered and competition grows
keener each year But-and here's
! another guess-there will not be an
other 5000, ,ooo-unit year for some
| time to come

AYERS TAXPAYER
CARRIES HOUSING
Towne Says Half of Cost of
U. S. Projects Borne
by Citizens.

The burden on the taxpayer to meet
the accepted idea Of 81 to 81 monthly
rent per room for the minimum wage
Garner amounts to about one-half OF
the actual cost of providing housing
for the wage Garner. 1t Is revealed in
an analysis OF multiple housing by
L. j. ToWne. president of the A. L.
Hartridge Co., engineers and contrac-
tors.
Mr.. Towne has explored the effect
OF various means of financing on
monthly rentals per room, To do this,
he assumed price per room AS the
average of two Of the most recently
completed multiple projects
constructed and operated under the
supervision of the New York State
Housing Board. These developments.
in his opinion. represented about the
minimum facilities for adequate STAN
dards Of housing. 1t was thus posi-
BILE by appropriate assumptions to
compare monthly rentals per room on
various bases of financing.
The study shows a material margin
in favor Of 100 per cent equity flnanc-
ing on low interest return, such as
that now being carried out by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. This
margin of from 50 to So per room is
not in itself sufficient, in the opinion
Of the builder, to offset other factors
such as location, existing competitive
housing etr ~ c,lcb fontors ora ,o
favora BILE
Only when low-cost financing is
combined with sound Judgment with
respect to real estate problems as well
as design and construction costs" SAYS
Mr., ToWne, can such large-scale
operations hold any advantage over
the marginal producer of housing.
On the other hand. from a broad
viewpoint Of progress in housing all
OF the advantages appear to rent with
large-scale housing because of the bet
ter control of light and air and neigh
borhood conditions From the view
point of the building industry the
production of better housing to re-
place existing inferior housing offers
hope OF recovery to a stagnant
industry. Such displacement is always
accompanied by some hardship to the
owners Of the facilities displaced but
If the experience in other fields is
any criterion such a program cannot
fail to be in the interest of the COM
munlty as a whole in the long rum"

Both Telephone, Telegraph
Companies Help Nets by
Cutting Costs.

NEW YORK. Aug. 22.-Both tele-
phone and telegraph carriers have
enjoyed an improved demand for their
services in recent months, according
to Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys
Certain operating economies have
been effected so that earnings. though
well below 1887 levels, have recorded
modest gains over earlier 1888 levels.
With extension of the industrial re-
covery movement indicated, further
gains should be recorded. However,
the more important costs-those for
labor and taXes-are scheduled to rise
so that profit improvement will not
follow the rise in revenues as closely
as has been the case in the past.
"Ordinarily, the volume of tele,
graphic communications promptly re-
fleets any Improvement in general
business, continues the analysis.
Thus, in past periods of industrial
recovery, telegraph companies have
recorded striking profit gains In this
instance, however, number of factors
will measureably restrict the improve
ment which might otherwise be ex-
pected: Cd rates have been reduced
and increases denied; 90 operating
expenses have not been drastically cur
tailed; 80 higher wage rates may
prove necessary in the relatively near
future; a. the highly competitive
telephone, radio and air mail service
will take more of whatever gains ap-
pear.
aggregate Bell telephone connec-
tions reached record high during
May, 1888, as did those of the inde-
penoents, while the subsequent decline
has been little more than seasonal.
Moreover. it is a normal characteristic
OF this business to expand long after
the cyclical peak of industrial activity
in past. Similarly, recovery is like
wise delayed Even though consumer
incomes have not suffered anything
like the defation experienced in earlier
depresSionS. it is natural to expect re-
covery in telephone connections this
fall to proceed gradually, at best, de-
spite probable improvement in busi-
ness conditions"

EUROPEAN FUNDS
FLEE TO AMERICA
No Early Prospect Seen for
Either Actual Peace or
Open War.
Epec.sl Dispatch to The Star.

Epectsl DlSpatch TO Inc Star.
BOSTON, Aug. 22.-No early pros
pect for either open war or actual
peace in Europe is seen by the United
Business Service, according to its
current weekly report. Under the
circumstances the flow of funds to
this country seems likely to continue,
along with the boarding of gold
abroad, and this problem keeps senti-
ment here in high state Of f1ux.
To evaluate the impact Of European
developments upon either foreign ex-
change rates or American markets it
Is necessary to understand what Is
taking place in the field of European
economics and finance and the way
in which the minds of Europeans
react to these events.
The dominant economic fact is
that living standards are being de-
pressed. In most countries the pro-
duction of ordinary supplies for civil
ian purposes is being curtalled in
order to build up arnaments. Regu-
lar imports are reduced in order to
get exchange for essential military
materials. To carry out such pro-
grams, Europe is piling up internal
Indebtedness, which is inf1ationary in
its effect
The reaction of the wealthy Euro
pean citizen is naturally one of un-
easiness. At every war scare he
sends more of his funds to this country
for safe refuge. There are at least
three billions Of foreign capital in
the United States Either a depend
able peace of actual war would cause
this money to be withdrawn Mean
while, the influx of foreign capital
can be expected to continue, creating
an artificial and precarious support
to American markets.

Since Roman gourmetS praised
its succulence in poems at their
feasts, the oyster has been held in
high regard Despite its ancient
lineage and the aristocratic com
pany it keeps, the supreme she'll
fish is a valuable food-and an
economical one to boot.
It's high in mineral content
iodine, iron and calcium. It's COM
paratively cheap because it's all
food = no waste from trimming
And there's an almost endless va
riety in the way you can serve
oysters, from au naturel to the de-
licious baked combinations.
Don't Soak Them
There are a number of species,
Blue Points, LynnhavenS, Cape
Gods, Olympia and Pacific But in
most markets oysters are sold in
two classifications, stand and Sc
Ilect. They are perishable, so you'd
better buy from reliable dealer
Keep them very cold and serve
them within day of the time you
get them. Always get some of the
liquid along with the oysters when
you can. It's flavorful addition to

stews and escalloped mixtures.
In preparing oysters for cooking,
rub them between the fingers to
remove any stray particles of shell
and to strain off excess liquid.
Never soak them; that spells the
flavor. But if you feel they should
be washed, rinse them quickly in
cold water.
Don't overlook oysters. That
makes them less easily digestible.
And don't salt them until they are
ready to be eaten. If you salt them
too soon they'll be tough.
First. the Half Shell
AS for serving. Oysters on the
half-shell of course, is the first
possibility. You don't have to have
the shells; arrange them on a shall
low dish if you want to. Five or six
oysters make portion. Serve rel
ishes such as horseradish, Worces-
tershire sauce, chopped pickles with
them, all chilled, of course. Lemon
juice will improve the flavor of
any unlocked oyster dish.
For an oyster cocktail, put five
or six small ones in a glass cup
lined with cress or shredded let
tuce and top them with wedge of
lemon and teaspoon of sauce,
