DETROIT, July 2S.-Reversal. of the
falling off in employment and an in
crease in the demand for raw ma
terials are the outstanding features
of the industrial situation here. Loans
are increasing at local banks. but the
most encouraging factor for increased

cars are being sold. Dealers in Iowa,
Nebraska and the DakotaS have
changed their tune, and now say they
expect to take more cars this fall.
Automobile makers are pretty well
