FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT RE-
PORT SHOWS BUSINESS coNDI-
TIoNs THROUGHOUT SOUTH
IMPROVING.

the past month compare most favor
ably with other cities of equal size
| and larger in the Sixth Federal Re-
serve district, as will be seen from
statistics published below. The report
on business and agricultural condi-
lions in the district by JOS. A. McCor
shows many interesting facts.
Reports from practically all sections
of the district indicate that business
in almost all lines has continued active
during the past month. The retail
trade is still on the increase, and
wholesale merchants also report an in
creased volume of trade. This applies
to all lines, but especially is it true
with regard to the dry goods business
and to those lines which during the
period of the war were more or less
restricted. A large increase has been
noticeable in the number of sales by
automobile houses and jewelry houses.
The Victory Liberty loan has been
over-subscribed and with the assur-
ance that this is the last public loan,
business men and bankers are laying
the foundation for period of extend
ed and extensive activity in all lines
of industry. Deposits in some instances
are reported to have decreased due to
payments on Victory notes, while in
other cases large increases in deposits
are reported. Interest rates remain
steady. There has been some liquida-
ton of discounts as result of scat
tered sales of cotton.
Since the signing of the armistice.
both the export and import trades have
been increased considerably. The ship
pers as yet are still governed by gov
IL
to make bookings for foreign destina-
tions. In spite of this, however, large
shipments of grain, lumber, cotton and
foodstuffs are being made. Inland
shippers are handicapped as the rail-
roads refuse to accept freight for for
eign destinations until cargo space is
assured. Relief is promised in the
form of more ships in the near future,
and in this event trade conditions will
be better than ever before. Central
American trade is also hampered by
lack of ships, but in spite of this
large quantities of coffee, sisal and
tropical fruits, especially bananas, are
being imported.
Considering the districa as whole,
business conditions may be consider
ed very satisfactory. The readjust-
ment to peace conditions is taking
place, though slowly and with caution.
With the declaration of peace, and the
lifting of all embargoes on exporta-
tons, it may confidently be expected
there will be demand for all of the
things that we can produce or manu-
facture, certainly for a considerable
length of time.

Prohibitionists on both sides Of the
water must be viewing with mingled
wonder and delight the way In which
william Il. johnson IL winning favor
for himself. and incidentally. some
thing not much unlike favor for
their cause. Curiously enough, his
achievements since his arrival IN
England have seemed to indicate that
his abilities are Of kind quite Diff
ferent from those to be expected in
a man who wears, and presumably
has earned, the nickname by which
he Il now known over q considerable
fraction OF the earth's surface.
Surely there has not ben anything
"pussyfooted"--that Is. anything sly
and slinking--in his instant RECON-
ton Of all the possibilities that ny In
the rough joke played on him by the
medical students Of London. or IN
hts apparently effortless turning Of
display of hostility into fund Of
popularity on which he can naks

dom AZ good temper, he refused to
take the attitude OF the man with q
grievance--an attitude that Grows
tiresome sooner than any other, no
matter how good the grievance may
be. Instead of exaggerating his in
fury and the loss OF an eye IL no
small matter--he treated II A. q pet

blame.

able Institution founded by Sir Arthur
Pearson. a blind man. to be a place
where soldiers who lost their eye
sight In the war can get the training
needed to restore them to self-de-
pendencs. That was not less 1udic-
ious than generous, for the loss of
two eyes ID a misfortune far more
than twice as terrible as the loss of
one. and none will fail to appreciate
Mr.. Johnson'a recognition of that
fact.
