ELEVEN IN KENTUCKY CLOSED. Louisville Bankers Commend Public Confidence, Preventing Runs. LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 19 (AP). -Closing of the Bank of Caneyville, with deposits of $217,000, was reported here today. The institution temporarily suspended yesterday, announcing this was necessary because the National Bank of Kentucky, which closed Monday, was its correspondent.

Suspension of the Owsley County Deposit Bank at Booneville and the People's Bank of Sulphur was announced yeşterday. Public Is Confident. The closing of five banks in Louisville, including the National Bank of Kentucky and the Louisville Trust Co., with combined resources of about $70,000,000, and of five institutions in other parts of the State, has not resulted in runs on other banks. Louisville bankers today commended the confidence shown by the public, declaring that deposits in the last two days exceeded withdrawals.

Kentucky's Tourist Trade Geoffrey Morgan, acting executive secretary of the Kentucky Progress commission, attributes the increase in gasoline consumption in Kentucky this year to the Progress commission's efforts in advertising the state's tourist attractions. The first six months of this year showed an increase in gasoline taxes of $180,178.03 over the same period last year. "It certainly pays to advertise," said Mr. Morgan, citing these statistics. "Take the figures for Janusry. The tax commission showed gasoline taxes collected in January of this year totaled $620,885.50 as compared with $503,046.73 for January of 1930. That is an enormous difference. The reason for it is this. We had an open winter the first of this year. So the tourists in Florida began flocking home. We had been advertising Kentucky among the tourists and the result was many of these tourists returned northward by way of Kentucky."
