rouge. 1t does not improve a girls

once starts to rouge she has to keep it
up. because her skin has lost its pretty

JULY REPORT IS MADE on CONDITIONS
IN EIGHTH RESERVE BANK DISTRICT

Following Is the report for the
month OF July on conditions On
the eighth federal reserve dis
trict;
While July is the dull season of the
wear. the manufacturers. 50bbers and
retailers generally report that bust
ness has held up remarkably well.
The outlook is reported to be entirely
favorable and there is marked feel
ing Of confidence.
The steel industry in this district
is working TO full capacity, and the
question Of delivery rather than price
the main consideration.
The shot manufacturers. tobbars Of
dry goods, hardware and groceries
all report increases for the three
months ending June 80. Collections
have kept pace with sales and credit
losses are reported to be Considera bly,
smaller than for several years past
Stocks in the hands of retailers are
still reported TO be higher than nor
nal. but seas0nable weather during
the last 80 days has stimulated re
tail distribution.
The crop situation I'm this district
seems very materially improved dur
ing the last 30 DAYS. due to more fav-
0rable climatic conditions The inn
prOvement is perhaps more notice
able in the northern half of the dis
trict than in the southern half.
The wheat crop has been har-
vested in all but the most n0rtherly
section of the district and thrashing
Is under way in many sections. Re
ports from both private and govern
ment sources indicate that material
progress has been made In this last 80
days and that the 1917 harvest i'm the
three great wheat producing states o.
the district. Indiana. Illinois and Mis-
souri,. while below the fve-year aver
age. will be considerably above the
final estimate for 1916 and larger
than was expected q month ago The
quality of the berry is uniformly re
ported TO be excellent.
The cotton crop has also made good
progress, particularly in Arkansas,
Tennessee and southeast Missouri 4
good rain about the middle of June
supplied the much needed moisture in
the central portion of the district and
the cotton crop is reported as show
ing marked improvement since that
date Under this influence the plant
shows good growth and is frGjtiug
rapidly. In Mississippi, and in a few
counties in Arkansas. the condition
is not quite as favorable as many
com plants Of boil weeviI damage are
received from these sections The
development Of the crop as 4 whols
NAV be considered satisfactory. al
though IT is still ten days or Two
weeks late.
The condition Of the corn crop con
tinues to be satisfactory. Govern
ment reports show an increased
acreage in ali the states wholly or
In part. within this district, as COM
pared to 1916. and the forecast from
the July ! condition is in excess OF
both the 1916 yield and the fve-year
average. The crop is doing well and

sufficient rainfall in the next thirty
days q bumper crop would seem to
be assured.
Reports ON the oats crop are
equally favorable. The harve5t is
completed i'm the southern and cen
trail portions Of the district and is
reported to he excellent as regards
both quantity and quality. Reports
from private sources are supported by
government estimates and indicate Il
yield above the 6ve-year average and
the 1916 harvest.
Reports from the tobacco pr0duC-
ing. sections in Kentucky indicate an
increase in acreage and favorable
prospects for this years crop
Pastures and truck. gardens We're
benefited by the rain q week ago, bUt
are still reported TO be in need of
moisture.
The second cutting Of alfalfa has
taken place generally and the thir
cutting is nearly ready ia the more
s0utheTly sections.
Apples, watermelous and other
fruits are reported to be in good CON
diti0n The supply of fruits and
fresh vegetables is ample and has, no
doubt contributed to the decrease in
the index figures of the cost of Hv-
ing. which has been noted from week
to week for the past month The
peach crop is reported to be shorter
than other fruits
There is a heavy potato movement
and all indications point to an excep-
tionaI harvest.
Improvement is shown in the car
shortage. but serious complaints are
stiiI received regarding the slow
movement of freight, particularly to
and from eastern points.
Postal receipts for June show little
change as compared to June. 1916.
Building permits, on the other hand,
show rather substantial decreases in
all of the large cities in the district,
due TO delay in deliveries and the al
most prohibiGiye cost Of building ma
rerial.
VALE the bond business has i'm
proved, it is still below normal for
the summer months. but continued
Improvement is looked for.
The commercial paper marker is
firm and active. the best names betnE
quoted at around 5 per cent with
country banks active in the market
The brokers report that considerable
re-hnanCing has been completed since
july L. There has been no change IN
bank rates to customers.

It was stated that the old building

the needs Of the school Two buildings
widely separated would be certain TO

done IN this regard, as the old high
school building can no longer accom-

classes and assem- blies were badly
