They included a rise of 341 per cent over 1882 in Dodge sales for October; a 25 cent extra by Owens Illinois Glass and Mcintyre Porcupine; rise in retail sales on the Columbus day holiday yesterday while the markets were closed: rise of s per cent over 1892 in Sears Roe buck sales for the four weeks end cd October 8; unchanged Steel op- erations at Youngstown and not profit for Graham Paige in the first months of the year, con- trasted with a net loss of $965,. 777 in the corresponding period of 1892.

RELEASE OF BANK
 DEPOSITS TOOK MONTHS OF WORK
Billion and a Half to Be Put to Work in Short
 Time

Washington, Oct 13--Releasc or about $1, 500. 100000 of the estimat- ed $2,500, 900, 900 of deposits locked up in banks throughout the coun. try sipce the first of the year Is to be accomplished in a compreheu- sive plan on which the president has been working since his inau.- uration. It Is an integral part of the recovery program to supply To- cal credits where most needed and will be carried out through estab- lished federal agencies In the form of a huge liquidating corporation to assume slow-moving assets of banking institutions. It Is the most stupendous operation of Its kind ever attempted by government Generous allowance is made for re lief of such banks as may not be eligible for federal guaranty of their deposits when the federal in- surance law goes into effect next January l. providing at that time n 100 percent guaranty on all dcpos- its up to s2,500. In addition to thawing out deposits with the pro ceeds of advances from the govern ment. secured by preferred stock in all banks affected. additional re. lease of deposits Is obtainei through exchange for bonds of the Home Owners Loan corporation. which are eligible security for loans from the Reconstruction Finance corporation. The R. r. C. has Sl,- 5S2. .000.0 900 of its authorized s. 500, 900. 900 resources still available. of which sS7S.9S5.00O represents repayments. The R. r. C. began operating February l, 1932.
 A perplexing problem in raising the money required to release de- posits, apart from consideration for the guaranty law, was to avoid go- ing Into the bond market for it. Re- lease of bank deposits is expected to very materially stimulate pur- chasing power and accelerate re- covery.

Havana. Oct 13.-(UP)-Amerl- can destroyers steamed from their posts along the Cuban coast today in q gesture Of confidence that there would be no incidents en- dangeiibg American lives.
 American Ambassador Sumner Welles ordered the destroyers to leave Matanzas, Cienfuegos, Man. zanlilo and Puerto Padre, all po- tcntiai danger spots, because of the easing tension in the provinces.
 All American ships will remain in Cuban waters, however, ready to race to any spot where there is trouble that might endanger Amor jeans.
 Only the smaller ports were af- fected by Welles order but 1t was understood other ships would leave if tho situation continued quiet, and thus give President Ramon Grau San Martin chance to dem onstratc the stability of his rcvolu- tionary regime.
