by prospective increase In pulp

they can get guarantees of mini

give fresh impetus to building in

orders for some rayon products In
excess Of production capacity-an-
other sell-out anticipated in March
-. Latest estimates indicate steel
industry operating rate likely to
drop to 1000 of capacity in March
would be sharper slump than
hitherto anticipated.
Industrial study-Tobacco-ro-
bacco is rated an investment in
dustry." Earnings of the princi-
pal companies have proven COM
paratively depression-proof. Prof.
its for 1889 averaged slightly
higher than the previous year and
even better results are anticipated
in 1910. The drop in leaf tobacco
prices last year (when raw to-
bacco was bought for 1910 use)
will cut the costs of leading Gig
arctic manufacturers by $l2,-
900, 900. Only about one per cent
OF American cigarette production
is exported, so these companies
will not be seriously hurt by Brit
ish curtailment Of American to-
bacco purchases.
But certain unfavorable factors
should not be ignored. The u. S.
government may soon move to
bolster raw tobacco prices for the
benefit Of American farmers. This
would have an adverse effect on
future costs. Cash resources of
the tobacco companies have been
depleted by increasing inventories
and too-generous dividend pay
ments. Because of this, several
manufacturers have tended to bor-
row more and more heavily from
banks since 1895. Taxes amount
to about 1850 of net earnings and
may 60 still higher. So the long
range prospects for further gains
by the industry are not too bright.
Commodities - Recent sharp
break in cotton traced largely to
straddle selling by Bombay specu-
lators-Bombay had 100000 bale
position in New York market
Hedge selling against government
loan cotton also a factor .

HIS FRACTURES

John Mond's natural condi-

transported to the Pierce County
hospital by police.
The man was found on curb
ing on Court A, between 14th and
18th sts., by Ed Clark, parking
lot attendant. There was nothing
to indicate that he might have
been hit by an auto, nor any in
dication he had fallen from a win
dow.
DR.. Sheppard of the hospital
staff found Mond had suffered
fractures of his right leg. ankle
and hip, in addition to fractured
left ankle, bruises and shock
Dazed and almost incoherent,
Mond muttered to Officers George
Paul and Stitsworth that such was
his natural condition. Detective
Captain Cliff Osborne planned to
have Mond questioned further al
