Indianapolis Business News Trade Forecasts and Comment on Local Market Conditions.

By Rader Winget i j TWENTY per cent advance I ZSk I in automobile tire prices beliLJtj tween Dec. 1 and Jan. 1, Was predicted today by Fred I. Willis, vice president of the Indiana Central Rubber and Supply Company. “However, there is no prospect of another boost in prices before spring,” Willis said. Casings have jumped 60 per cent in the past year and tubes 100 per cent. Crude rubber soared 500 per cent. Tire prices will still be below war time levels even with the advance predicted. There is an actual shortage in tile crude rubber supply and this condition, coupled with the Stephenson restriction act, has a tendency to shove values to tiie limit. The Stephenson restriction bill was passed by the British parliament in an effort to monopolize the world’s supply of crude rubber. They successful and. until recently, absolutely controlled criyje Prices. But now there is an actual shortage, and if the Stephenson act were repealed the inflated crude rubber price would remain. MERICAN automobile owners j seem to be the chief sufferers L -1 ■ and have to pay the extra gouge. Plans under way at the present time for establishing an American rubber plantation will mature within a minimum time of five years. When the first American rubber is placed on the market the purpose of the British restriction, which observers say it to get money to pay their war debt to the United States, will have been completed. In the meantime a 20 per cent boost in tire prices looms for the American autoist. 8 jTYT'I net Income available for dividends earned by the 1111i * nois Central Railroad In the first ten months of J 925, was about $300,000 greater than for the same period last year,” C. H. Markham, president, says today in a letter to the stockholders. The letter cites the improved business conditions in the territory in which the railroad operates and sug-’ gests the brilliant economic future will rebound tothe benefit of the Illinois Central System.

STORES HERE REPORT EARLY TOY SHOPPING Indications Are That Business Will Exceed Previous Years in Volume and Expense Santy Busy.

By Eloine Walton "Deer Santy Clauz " Many a pencil la being chewed these evenings and many a bright head is bent over pap or and labored words in an effort to make perfectly clear to Santa Claus exactly what Is expected of him. And If department store Santas know their stuff, the orders this year will far exceed In volume and expense any previous year. Toys and more toys, and still more of every description are crowding out the wares of other departments In their pre-Christmas rivalry. And If you really believe in farlles and that toys come to life'at night, what a big kick you’d get out of watching the doll leautles Charleptonlng with the Teddy Bears! Buying Early “Are they buying toys early? Well, I should say they are!” said C. H. Trueman, buyer of the toy department at L. S. Ayres and Company. “The early buyers are picking out the best toys we have, too. They come early for a good selection. There Is a decided trend toward the better and more substantial grade of toys this Christmas. Boys are asking for electrical train, structural building sets, heavy sand and dump trucks of excellent materials which work like the big pieces from which they are copied.” The department was full of shoppers, and lists of Bobbles, and Betty Janes, and Mary Catherines and Juniors, could be seen In many hands. Rows of Dolls Rows and rows of cuddly dolls lined the shelves In every toy department and 10, the Mama and baby dolls led all the rest. The amazingly life-like heads of the baby dolls will fill the heart of any little girl with ecsstacy on Christmas momiqg. These heads come from Germany, Trueman said. The stuffed bodies are attached on this side of the ocean, though. "Is Germany’s output of dolls and other toys as large this year as It has been?” Trueman was asked. “No, it certainly Isn’t. This year three-fourths of our stock of dolls and toys are American made. And next year five-sixths of our stock will be made In this country.” American manufacturers are humping themselves, it would seem. It was the consensus of opinion everywhere that German made toys was on the decline. Not that persons are so narrow-minded as to object to them because of their nationality, but because, with duty, freight expenses and all the other imposed taxes on Imported goods, American manufacturers can more than compete with the foreign output. But the Americans cannot yet make a doll as well as the Germans can. Every toy buyer says so, and the American mode dolls look Inferior to the foreign made ones, although American-made voices in the Mama dolls are judged to be better—and little American mothers respond to them more happily. From France The heaptlful, exquisite, expensive dolls, still come from France. The brass hom„ and other musical instruments come from France and CONTRACT TO BURFORD State Printing Work for Two Years Is Awarded. The State printing board today awarded the contract for State printing for the next two years to the William B. Burs ird Company, holders of the present contract and low bidders In all the classes of work Included in i the next two years’ project. In addition to work coming under specifications, the Burford company will be required to provide unspecified work. The new contract becomes effective Dec. 2.

SUIT AGAINST PROPERTY Prosecutor Alleges Liquor Is Being Sold in Building. Prosecutor William H. Remy today filed .suit for abatement of a publice nuisance in Superior Court Four against Louis Thomas and Peter Simick who operate a dwelling bouse and restaurant at 444 W. Washing ton St., and Mrs. Annie Borlnsteln, owner of the property. Complaint alleged the property, a three-story brick building, Is being used as a place to keep and sell liquors. Suit demands that the place be permanently cloced for one year.

Czeko-Slovakla. From England comes the best grade 'of stuffed pets. But you may be sure that the small, tricky merchanlcal toys come from Germany. And the brilliant Christmas tree pretties, too. They are made In communities of families In small villages. The bigger, finer pieces of mechanical toys come from American manufacturers. They are sturdier of build, finer of workmanship, and more Intricate of mechanism. Santa will have to put some baggage cars on his airplane this year to take care of the demand for miniature autos, which cost from $7.50 up—and ’way, up, too. The boys and girls who are going through the toy shops this season will find a lot to whet their Imaginations, and help sharpen their pencils for those letters to Santa which will keep the old fellow up late at nights reading through to the very end: “I’m being very good, and I’d like as mutch as you can carry, please. With luv. Bobby.”

BOARD SHOWS RECOVERIES OF PUBLIC MONEY Report on Accounts Organisation Work Given to Governor. Net recoveries of public money made by the state board of accounts during the fiscal year which ended Sept. 30. 1925, amounted to $139,195.26. It was shown in the annual report of the board, submitted to Governor Jackson today by Lawrence F. Orr, State examiner. Since the Board was created In 1909 a total recovery of $3,060,708.97 has been accomplished, tho report declares. Os this amount $2,623,890.24 was used to defray department expenses, leaving a net recovery of $436,818.73. The figures Justify existence of the board, Orr points out, adding that bonding companies have been able to reduce premiums on public officials’ sureties as a result of the public accounting law. Charges of $209,764.69 against officials have been dismissed by the attorney general, the report says. During the year 3,077 examination reports have been filed, an Increase of 736 over the preceding year. By Jan. 1, 1926, every public office will have been examined for 1924, Orr predicted. The general achievements of the board have been gratifying, Orr said, “But in some cases certain Interests which have thrived on State and county business have, by skillful maneuvers, been able to retard our work and temporarily prevent the result of our investigations from being made publlo.” The case involving the contract for constructing two new wings at the Julietta hospital was cited by Orr as one of the outstanding disclosures by the accounts board. George Weaver and Son, contractors, are under Indictment for presenting false claims on the project.

Action of the publlo service commission In upholding a Beech Grove ordinance prohibiting busses from receiving or discharging passengers along streets used by the Beech Grove Traction Company, will bo contested through a hearing on a permanent injunction suit filed in Superior Court Five, Donald La Fuze, attorney for the South Side; Motor Coach Company said today. La Fuze said he would ask a hearing' at an early date. Judge T. J. Moll Issued a temporary order Oct. 8, prohibiting tho town board from enforcing the ordinance. The commlsslon’a ruling made this order ineffective. Injunction suit was filed by partner* of the bus company against the town board and marshal. The ordinance was upheld In denying the South Side Motor Cbach Company’s petition to have the statute invalidated. For several weeks the commission has been deadlocked because Commissioner Samuel R. Artman has withheld his vote. Friday, Artman cast his vote In favor of the street car line. The coach company, It Is reported, Is preparing to make a number of changes In Its Beech Grove schedule as result of the decision. Births _ Kennsth and JteSa Hamblin. WO 8. Roena.
