by the end Of the month. This gives
the tractor new high sales record,
and shows 100 per cent increase over
the best month in 1921.
The Ford Company is enjoying a
banner year in all departments. Out
put of Ford cars and trucks for the
year, according to present estimates,
will exceed 100000, which represents
ten per cent increase over 1921.
The Ford factory at Detroit is how
operating at full capacity, having a
force of more than 10000 men on the
payroll. The scheduled output for
May will probably reach $4,000 cars
and trucks, which will be applied
against orders approximating 165 900.
Despite the attempt of the factory
and the twentythree assembling
plants in the United States to produce
sufficient number of cars to meet
the unusually heavy demand, it has
been impossible for Ford dealers in
most cases to make immediate deliver

Many Witnesses Heard

Thirty-tWo witnesses testified for
the state while 26 new witnesses we're
called by the defense. These testified
to evidence totalling approximately
100000 words, all Of which the jury
had under consideration and all of
which was recorded by John X. Aull,
the court stenogEaphcr.
The crowds attending the trial were
limited to persons able to find seats
and daily hundreds attempted to get
into the court room and were turned
away. Despite the huge attendance,
however, the trial was not marred by
a single untoward incident, county
and city officers cooperating to main
tain order.
The extra expense of the trial, out
side the salaries of the judge, sheriff,
clerk of court and the court stcnog-
rapher, it is estimated, will reach a
mark of approximately $1,141.-The

out Of sorts on account of kidney
trouble. At times the action Of my
kidneys was too free and 1 had severe
pains in my back. The small of my
back was sore all the time and l felt
tired and run down. If stopped or
turned suddenly, sharp twings of
pain shot through my back. I got a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Zeig-

had no return Of the complaint"

Hungary Good Market

At present the market for American
underwear, both light weight and heavy
grades, is considered favorable by
Budapest dealers, provided direct rep
resentation is arranged for in that city,
says Consul Kemp, Budapest, in a re-
port to the Department of Commerce
The Hungarian merchant does not
favor importing American products
through agents in other European coun-
tries. Combination suits are not now
saleable in Hungary. If ordinary
shirts and drawers are to be sold,
samples should be sent when quoting
prices in order that Budapest dealers
may be cognizant of the quality, style,
etc, as they are extremely skeptical of
ordering by catalogue only.

how thoroughly ultimate placement has
been and will be accomplished. At

the excessive supply of money, at

occasioning important disturbance of
the other European exchanges. al
though they are continuing their drift
to lower levels under the influence of
political, financial and economic un-
settlement abroad and Of seasonally
heavier purchases here. The fact that
the decline in sterling, partly recovered,
originated in increased buying Of dol
lars in London has lent color to the
theory that British government re-
quirements for interest on its Amer
lean debt have been a factor, either
because they are currently being COW

been completed, the government has
withdrawn its rumored support.
Wholly aside from such explanations,
the depreciation in sterling may be as
signed to larger offerings Of trade bills
and to the absence Of interest on the
buying side. The course of quotations
has reflected measurably little concern

the speculative element, as reported hY-
bankers.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
paid little attention to the going rates
for speculative money and commercial
paper when he fixed the coupon rate
on the new 100000 900 one-year GER
tiicate Offering at 3% per cent. Hi,
act was accepted in the financial dis
trict as indicating a belief on his part
that the supply of funds would con-
tinue plentiful and at comparatively
cheap rates. Further, it was argued,
that if he had anticipated flrmer con-
ditions, he would have borrowed more
at this figure, as the heavy oversub-
scription of the issue proved he could
have done. This line of reasoning was
responsible in large measure for the
equanimity with which the Street ac-
cepted temporarily what were re-
garded as high rates. Call money at
no time went below per cent and
reached as high as s. Time funds
were only occasionally available be-
low AZ per cent for sixty and ninety
days, or AZ per cent for the longer
periods. In the commercial paper
market, the best names commanded Az
per cent and the bid rate on accept
anccs was also revised upwards 8.
Prevalenc of thse charges, otherwise,

easement as an accompaniment Of the
government operations last Friday
Even on the date OF the payments
there was no slackening in the charge
for accommodations on Stock Ex-

should come from the excess Of funds
received by the banks over what they
had to pay out. The experience of
June was reversed, apparently be-
cause, whereas at that time the ac-
cumulation of funds here began we'll
in advance of the tax payment date,
upon this occasion employment for
money elsewhere was on a scale that
prevented its concentration at this
