DETROIT. May 12.-The automobile
industry is wondering where 1t will OBJ
tain enough closed bodies to meet the
orders piling up in nearly every plant.
Nothing like tine present demand for
closed cars has ever been experienced
in TIE history of the industry. 1t has
caught the body manufacturers UNI
awares as we'll as the automobile man
ufacturers. Where the Ford company
used to make $4,000 closed cars a year.
it will turn out 100000 this year. Other
companies report an even greater In
crease in the percentage of closed cars
to total output.
Some Of the body companies here are
having body parts made in outside
shops to keep abreast of demand. Semi
skilled body workers are growing scarce
and the rate Of pay jumped from 90 to
20 cents an hour.
Detroit banks have $39,000,000 more
on deposit now than they had at the
first of this year. The total Of deposits
now is $429,O00.000. compared with
1890. 900. .009> in January and $375,00O,-
900 in May. 1921. Money is growing
easier Several large insurance COM
panies have recently come into the mar
ket in the Detroit real estate loan field
and this is releasing other funds for in
dustrial purposes. Employment condi-
tions continue to improve steadily. The
employment report shows an increase OF
5.400 workers over last week. making a
total of 100000 employed. This COM
pares with 10000 Tor the correspond
