DETROIT.

E Detroit, Mich, May 12.-Tae auto
mobile industry is wondering where
II will obtain enough closed bodies
70 meet the orders piling up In
nearly every plant Nothing like the
present demand for closed cars has
ever been experienced in the history
OF the industry II has caught the
body manufacturers unawares as
well as the automobile makers.
Where the Ford company used to
build $4,000 closed cars a year it
will turn out 100000 this year.
Other companies report an even
greater increase in the percentage
of closed cars TO total output.
Some of the body companies here
are having body parts made in out
side shops to keep abreast of de-
mand. Semi-skilled body workers
are growing scarce and the rate of
pay has jumped from so to 10 cents
an hour.
Detroit banks have $4,000, 900
more on deposit now than they had
at the first of this year. The total
Of deposits now is 1929 10000 COM
pared with 1890. 000.0 900 in. January
and 1915, 900 900 in May, 1921. Money
Is growing easier. Several large
insurance companies have recently
come in the market in the Detroit
real estate loan field and this is re-
leasing other funds for industrial
purposes. Employment conditions
continue TO improve steadily. The
employment report shows an in
crease of 5,400 workers over last

Joplin, Mo-, May 12.-Operation
of trains on the Missouri and North
Arkansas railroad has been re-
sumed. The road suspended opera
tons last July because of financial
difficulties and labor troubles. A
receiver has affected a reorganiza-
ton. The road runs from Helena,
Arkansas, to Joplin and is feeder

for the corresponding week last
year.
ST. LOUIS.
st. Louis, May 12.-Warmer
weather is putting more life into
trade generally. Large crowds are
thronging the stores. Advertising
in this section has again become
more strenuous with bargain prices
on special features being attrac-
lively placed before the public. The
public continues obdurate in refusal
to consider price advances and pur-
chases only when inducements in
price are satisfactory.
Employment is increasing steadily
in all branches of manufacture. The
most striking is noted in building
and dealers in build
ing materials report greater rush
of business than has been recorded
in several years. Manufacturers Of
roofing and paint and other con-
struction material are increasing
production.
Financial houses here declare that
loans on houses and real estate are
more numerous than ever before
and although capital is coming for
ward, the demand for money for
building is in excess of the supply.
Much of the building is on specu-
lative lines but there can be no
doubt that operations will be car
ried on all this year on a record
scale.

ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ca, May 12.-Retail
officials of the Atlanta Retail Mer-
chants association declared today.
, Collections are satisfactory, trade
has shown a substantial gain over
the spring of 1921 and the heavy
advertising campaigns of mer-
chants coupled with reductions in
prices have been effective in bring
in gin a splendid volume of bust
ness. The consistent buying move
ment which began before easter
has shown no signs of diminishing
and is being helped along by recent
fine weather.
Another evidence of general i'm
provement in this district is the
gain of 81 10000 gain in bank de-
posits over the totals of a year
ago. while the gold reserves of the
Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank still
hover around Sc per cent. The
farmers, encouraged by the ad-
vance of more than SIT bale in the
price of cotton since March are
giving undivided attention to their
crops. They are slowly liquidating
their old debts and contracting no
new ones. Their watchword will
continue to be necessities only"
until the crops are harvested and
they can cash in on something
tangible.
The already active building move
ment has been stimulated by the

If tears are proper at bull fight. then every one observed bull ring etiquette. but they weer tears of laughter If the bulls had been half as mad as some Of the spectators there would have been some fight The bulls. however, were thoroughbred range cattle from the Packard ranch. and apparently had been born and raised as pets In stead ol becoming angry when the matadors stuck them. they grey pan icky and tried to get back into the pen
 There were several incidents which savored oi < burlesque on bull sisht and which one might expect to sec staged on an Orpheum or Keith cir Cuit. A Mexican who had drunk freely but not wisely fell through into the ring. and despite the frantic shouts Of the matadors. who warned hiEi that his life was in danger, advanced tc- ward one Of the "enraged" auimais. : The Mexican reached out and batted the animal along side of the head and staggered on across the rins un- molested.
 The fight was stopped by Presi- dente Y Trevino. who fined the man agement for importing ''fiehtless bulls for :. bull fight. The farce the affair turned out to be was not the fault ofthe management however. oy the matators. as each had done his part 10 make the fight a success The | bulls appeared to be unusually fierce. but when they were sent into ;Le ring | they became bewiidered and lost what pusnacity they ever possessei
