FORD PRODUCING
1000 CARS A DAY
Present Production Greater Than For
Same Period Last
Year.

Ford is building cars at full speed.
and according to an official statement
from the factory at Detroit, the de-
mand for Ford cars and trucks still
exceeds the output, despite the fact
that a new high level of production
has been reached.
By the first of May the figures rep
resenting daily productions were inthe
neighborhood of 1000 cars a day, SO
the May schedule was set at 101,125
cars and trucks, not including the
output Of the Ford Canadian plant or
any of the foreign assembling plants.
The output mounted daily; May 18th
brought forth 1892, the greatest num-
Der that have been produced in one
day SO far this year. Since the month
has rs working days, present indica-
tons point to a new high record.
A comparison of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses the
fact that for April, 1921 the output
was greater by 34,514 than for the
corresponding month of a year ago,

FEDERAL COURT
REMANDS SUITS
FOR DAMAGES

An important and interesting rul-
ing Of Judge c. B. Faris Of the Fed
eral Court in st. Louis affecting
claims for damages against the
United States Railroad Administers
ton has been received by Circuit Clerk
Elliott.
1t came in the form Of an order
from the federal court to remand to
the Circuit Court the case Of claims
against John Barton Payne, govern
ment agent for the settlement Of
claims.
The cases are those of Arthur 7.
Chase and his son, VERNE Chasie, who
were injured when their team was
struck by a train; and of Mrs. Sarah
Mediation, whose husband, Hiram Nc
Hatton, was killed by a train.
The attorneys for the defendants
had filed a petition that the Circtit
Court sustained, claiming that since
John Barton Payne was a citizen Of
New York the Circuit Court did not
have jurisdiction in the case.
The federal court in ordering the
case remanded sets a precedent in
other similar cases that cannot now
be taken before the federal court. /,

WEAKNESS DISPLAYED

New York, April 14.-The stock mar
kct resumed its reactionary course to-
day, rails, stcels. and affiliated issues
again displaying pronounced weakness
at net rccessions to 1 to ~ points.
Commodity markets. especially grains.

aspects.
Shorts uncovered new elements OF
weakness, directing their energies
partly to the shares of companies
whose future dividend disbursements
are reported more or less doubtful
because OF poor earnings.
Conspicuous features of tho broad.
or reversal embraced n number or
high grade transportations. especially
Canadian Pacific, Delaware and Hud-
son. Louisville and Nashville. AmonI
weaker industrials and specialties were
Crucible and United States Steels
Pullman and General Electric.
Sugars Tobaccos. utilities and final-
ly the oils and motors also gave way
Lowest quotations were made IN the
