HANNA. ol Speciad Dispatch to The Star. o DETROIT, March 24.—A survey of twenty-five of the automobile und ac- cessory plants here this week tells the | story of continued improvement which | forms the gist of the reports of the manufacturers. The improvement be- #an In January and has not halted. Several plants reached normal capac- | ity production the end ‘of February | and are now turning out from 25 to 5 40 per cent more goods than ever be- fere in their histories. This condi- many of the less fortunate companies are coming ahead steadily. Taking the industries of the cf it is conservatively estimated that about 70 per cent of peak business is now being handled. Business men dealing in the rural sections of Michigan report that the condition of the farmers is steadily fmproving. They are laying plans for increased acreages and are paying up notes which matured last fall. If crop and price prospects come any- where near expectations country bankers predict a flood of farmer buy- ing about July 1. An evidence of the improvement in the rural sections is iseen in statements of bond houses hat Michigan country banks are buy ing bonds for their own account for the first time in two years. The industrial prospect for April 1 is promising. With farmers coming into the market at harvest time, auto- mobile men figure there is a possibil- 1ity of a car shortage.
