NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-General
Motors Corp. announced today the
greatest January sales of cars and
trucks in its history.
Although below December-as
trade experts said was to be ex-
pected-the January totals sur
passed the previous peak, hit in 1896,
by wide margin.
Sales of General Motors cars and
trucks to dealers IN the United
States and Canada, plus overseas
shipments in January, totaled 181,-
088 units This compared with 2O7,-
637 in December and 136,489 in
January last year.
Sales to United States dealers last
month amounted to 164,925 units,
against 188839 in December and
ll6,964 year ago.
Consumers sales in January totaled
10000, compared with 156, 1908 in the
preceding month and 1886 in
January, 1899.
The corporation yesterday report
ed indicated net profits of s73,-
681 900 for the final three months of
1889, equal after preferred dividends
to $l.66 a common share, and the
largest earnings for any December
quarter in history.
With the exception of the June
quarter three years earlier, they were
the biggest for any three months
period since the June quarter of 1929.
In the December quarter of 1888,
net profits were $63, 1902 300, or $1.44
a common share.
For the full year 1899 prelim-
mary net earnings of $183,300,0 900,
subject to final audit, were indicated,
equal to S404 a common share, the
largest since 1887. In 1888 the COM
pany earned s1O2, ,190,0O7 or $2.17 a
common share.

Auto Output Jumps

During Week
Automotive News Cites
Total of 26,644 in
Same 1899 Period
By the Associated Press.

.
DETROIT, Feb. 8.-Automotive
News, in its weekly survey Of plant
activity in the motor car indus
try today reported the current
weeks output would total 103,207
cars and trucks compared with 101,-
PAL last week and 1854 units this
week year ago.
1t attributed the contra-seaso
rise in assemblies to the resumption
of five-day production operations at
the Packard plant.
The survey credited General Mo-
tors divisions with $3.50 assemblies
this week compared with 39,2l9 last
week; Chrysler with 24,300 COM
pared with "a BAT last week and Ford
divisions with 24,15O cars and trucks
compared with 24,165 last week.
The trade publication reported all
car manufacturers in production this
week excepting Willys-Overland.
Big Gain Forecast.
The motor car industry which did
an lover all" business of more than
$685. 100000 last year, has been
leveling off its production activity
to permit an adjustment of dealers
stocks.
The lull, however, not only is a
temporary one, but is noticeable
only to those who keep a day-by-
day watch on factory output and
distribution. Another upward surge
will get under way, according to all
present indications, around March
/, with an assembly volume we'll in
excess of 100000 units tentatively
scheduled for that month to make a
first-quarter aggregate well above
the 1,250,000 mark.
Although the current factory ac-
tivity is borrowing something from
last years final quarter, when la
bor difficulties prevented full
schedule of production by all plants,
the car makers are finding encour-
agement for their hope of more
nearly "stabilizing" work and out
put schedules in the present trend.
Geared to Demand.
For more than five years the in
dustry's chiefs have been trying to
fatten out the production peaks and
valleys, and while they have not
been entirely successful in this re-
spect, they point to assembly lines
closely geared to actual demand as
an achievement. Building for visible
demand only was unheard of a few
years ago; it now is the rule in all
plants.
The men who make motors, of
course, are not sitting back and
waiting for customers; on the con-
trary, every producer is constantly
strengthening his sales organiza-
ton and adding new dealer outlets.
Typical of the industry generally
Is Hudson's announcement that
more than 700 new dealer fran
chises have been signed since the
1910 model season began last Octo-
ber. Along with the letting of con-
tracts for parts and materials, Gra-
ham-Paige, which has been idle for
about year, is rearranging its
merchandising setup preparatory to
resuming the shipment of cars next
month.

Stanford Spurns
 Pay for Play Plan

Palo Alto, Cal, Dec. l6.-oUP)-- Stanford football players were told the sad news today that they would not be compensated for holiday un- employment while training for the Rose Bowl game January l.
 At its midwinter meeting last week the Conference foted to pay Pacific coast Rose Bowl players up to $50 each for "out-of pocket" money lost from private jobs they would have held during the Christmas-New Years holiday period.
 Stanford President Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur has notified the Conference that Stanford will not avail itself of the provisions of the rule for the few men in the coming Rose Bowl game who might have come under it."
 We feel any question regarding the Conference rule will be entireiy cleared up when its scope and the safeguards surrounding 1t are fully understood and considered, and that ample time should be allowed for that purpose" he said.

 OVER CRUSADERS

Friday night at the North End "" court, the s. M. o. c. defeated teh Crusaders by a score of 21-14. This was one of the three contests played in the Senior Leogue. In the first quarter of the game, both teams fighting hard was the cause of the score only being 5-2 in the s. M. o. c. favor. The first half of the game ended with the score 9-4 with the s. M. O. c. out in front. The four points in the second period were made by Robbers and Haiday, while L. Ors'ni made the 4 points for the losers. In the third period, Haiday found the basket twice for 4 points while Deschino and LeSaw got 2 points apiece. The third period closed with the s. M. o. c. 1T, and the Crusaders 10. In the last period of the game both teams managed to get hoops apiece leaving the final score 2l-l4 in favor of the Saint Mary hoop sters.
 This victory leaves the s. M. o. c in first place with the Royals who were runner-ups in the league last year, when the s.

New Haven, Dec. 16.-With both contestants shooting for 8 kayo win and each capable of scoring one Tuesday nights 10-round tussle between Matte Mann, New England heavyweight champion, and Henry Moroz, New York, on top of pro fistic card at the Arena, should provide heavy firing.
 The local fight experts wuldn't give Moroz a Chinaman's chance six months ago, but since he flat tened Phil Brubaker in less than two rounds on show here two weeks ago, there are some who say he is very apt to stop Mann.
 Of course, Mann's edge in experi- ence will make him slight favorite plus the fact that this vii lbe Morozs first start in 10 rounder. Moroz plans on cutting down quick, for the longer it goes, the less chance Moroz will have of winning.
