Board by officials of the II reserve
banks, has now reached its high tide
with factories having enough orders
booked to tax their maximum capacity
for year.
The Federal Reserve Board, in max
ing public the commercial surveys of
the reserve bank officials, summarized
them as follows:
General business and banking con-
ditions reported by Federal reserve
agents in the 12 Federal reserve dis
tricts as of May % or thereabouts in
dicate, in general, that business ac-
tivity in the United States has perhaps
reached the maximum of the present
movement. Orders covering factory
outputs to the end of the year at maxi
mum capacity, a more cautious attitude
as to the future, considerable unrest on
the part of labor, even where most
highly compensated, and slightly less
favorable outlook in respect to some
of the growing crops are the chief con-
tributing reasons.
"On the other hand, more favorable
crop conditions are reported in some
districts, even though the spring has
been generally very late. Mines and
oil wells are exceedingly active. Lum-
ber and building show great activity,
although the latter is in some sections
somewhat affected by labor conditions.
"There is hardly any perceptible
hardening of money rates, and the sup
ply of loanable funds continues more
than ample. Railroad earnings, where
not injuriously affected by congestion
at seaports, are generally excellent,
and the only bad signs in this industry
are in the impending labor difficulties.
Postoff1ce and other similar receipts
appear to be a maximum everywhere"
The Richmond reserve bank district,
composed of Maryland, Virginia, North
and South Carolina and West Virginia,
reports normal conditions, with in
creases in many lines. The summary
of conditions of the district is, in part,
as follows:
Agricultural conditions are report
ed fair. Crops are somewhat back
ward, owing to late spring and dry
weather. Wheat and oats are not as
good as last year, but more corn and
oats are reported planted than ever be-
fore. Farmers are getting out Of
their old habits of sending money
away for hay, -four and other staple
raising more home supplies,
using the money saved to buy more
land and improve it. Cotton acreage
has been probably increased by about
10 per cent. Tobacco manufacturers
report an increase in business for the
past four months over 1915. Increased |
wages have satisfied labor. Lumber
report only fair conditions, and |
the import and export trade is handi-
capped by the lack of freight room and
high rates"

THE GERMAN LOSS
NOW PUT At IS
British Figure Out Greater
Losses for Germans.
DOES NOT NAME SHIPS
Berlin Declares All Has Been Told.
Scarcely a Line Officer On
Sunken British Vessels
Was Saved.

London. - The British Admiralty
issued a statement saying there was
the strongest grounds for the belief
that the British navy in the battle with
the Germans off Jutland last week had
accounted for total of 18 German
men-of-war, and that there was nothing
to add to or subtract from the original
announcement Of the British losses.
The statement gave the German
losses as two battleships, two dread
naught battle cruisers, four light cruis-
ers, nine torpedo-boat destroyers and
a submarine.
