 "The bank clearances of Little Rock have increased $10,000,000 over 1905. Mercantile inquiries have been great CT than ever before, which indicates a great increase in the volume of business.

 "Argenta shows 82 new concerns which went into business in that city and 68 discontinuances.
 During the year substantial head way has been made toward the up building of Little Rock in many ways. One of the handsomest hotels in the Southwest has been built.

 "The state capitol building is now approaching completion and when fin ished will compare favorably with any in the country. The commanding site of the new capitol adds greatly to the beauty of the city, and pre- sents an imposing appearance.
 Last, but not least, a survey has already been made for an interurban electric railroad, and the financing ot the enterprise has been practically completed on terms and condition usual for enterprises of such import ance and magnitude.
 "A new jobbing district has been established in the lower end of East Markham street, and handsome build ings have been erected with spacious and modern up-to-date equipments.
