FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD MAKES PUBLIC
BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Washington, July 1.-1nfornatior about
business conditions throughout the coun-
try in June as reported by federal re-
serve agents was made public today, by
the federal reserve board.
From Boston came the news that
weather conditions and a wave of econ
omy which is affecting all classes prob
ably had been important factors in the
general business situation. Small towns
were said to show increased savings
banks deposits, manufacturers Of cheap
iewelry had done an unusually poor bus
mess; the shoe and leather business was
very dull though shoe manufacturers
stated the situation was not getting
worse and the underlying tone was fair
ly healthy: cotton mill business WAS for
the most part satisfactory.
New York bankers throughout the
state were quoted as reporting that crops
in general had a good start and that
in industries was shown
Some of the cotton mills, the agent
said, claim to making money but lit is
probable most Of them are satisfied with
nominal profits Tobacco has been
overplanted. In the Atlanta district the
cotton misunderstanding situation continues
good with ulln operating at more than
normal kppt being held in ware
houses.

edence and until they are disposed OF
il is not expected that the extradiuon
question will be decided. Both the Viii
la and Carranza factions charge that
Huerta was implicated in the murder
Of President Madero and Vice Presi-
dent Suerez which followed the over
throw Of the Madero administration
and Huertas assumption Of power. In
asInuch as the Mexico-American ex-
tradition treaty provides that requisi-
ton shall not be granted for political
offences. there have been no cases in
which citizens Of prominence in eth
er country have ever been surrendered
even though charged with civil crimes.
The request for extradition usually
has been followed, however, by provis-
ional arrest for 90 days while evidence
is being forwarded.
