prior to last January /.
81. Purely a guess, but I would
say about Is per cent.
CO... The prospects for liquidation
are entirely contingent upon the
character of the frozen credits. Rel
ative to the great mass of extended
obligations those based on routine
merchandising and agricultural OPP
erations are good. This is true par
ticularly of the South. where the
advance in the price of cotton has
resulted in the sale OF heavy ton
mage of that staple carried over
from the preceding crop. The pro-
Deeds have enabled planters, mer-
chants, and country bankers to pay
up.
Robert r. Maddox. president At
lanta National Bank. Atlanta, Ga:
/ believe there will be consider
able Improvement in business dur
ing the rest of the year, when more
Of the cotton held over from last
year and the new crop Is sold.
Owing to the decline in the past
few weeks of about SIS a bale, cot
ton has not been selling freely, the
holders anticipating higher prices.
When this cotton is sold II will have
a very good effect in reducing in
debtedness In all lines.
The stock on the shelves of our
retail merchants is very nearly nor
NAL at present, and they report
good business in this city.
Credit conditions will return to
normal when the agricultural
classes are able to buy their sup
plies on a more equitable basis with
the price theA receive for the prod
ucts Of the farm.
A Considerable reduction has been
made in loans made more than
twelve months ago, and antici-
pate a steady reduction in these
loans during the next few months.
There is a very strong indication
that there will be a very great in
crease in the production of crops
other than cotton in Georgia the
coming year, as the boil weevil
has appeared in every cotton grow
ing county in the State and the
crop this year is only about half
the amount produced last year and
only about 20 yer cent of the maxi
mum production OF the State.

The Washington Herald publishes
below the Geographic answers from
the second of several groups of
the leading bankers and business
firms in all sections of the United
States, in response to list of nine
specific questions sent them.
The nine questions asked were:
ID Do you anticipate pronounced
Improvement during the rest of
the year?
CD II not. what kind Of business
do you anticipate? e.,
(3) When do you expect pro
nounced Improvement?
(4) What are considered the
chief retarding influences?
go How do stocks on the shelves
of retail merchants compare with
normal? ...-
.CG) When do you expect credit
conditions to return to normal?

sions of loans made more than

90 Approximately what percent
age of frozen credits outstanding
July 1 remained unliquidated on
October 1? .-.~....., ..-
90 What are the prospects for
further liquidation of frozen cred
/ its in your district in the near
future?
The answers follow:
David r.. FOrgan,~ president, Ma
tional City Bank. Chicago:
Answering your questions:
~ No.
+ CD Slightly improved business.
90 expect only slow and grad
ual improvement for a year TO
come.
90 Frozen agricultural credits,
causing lack of buying ability by
the farmer; unequal and unbal-
anced prices and wages, high
freight rates and burdensome tax
alton.
(5) I don't know.
co They are fast returning to
normal. 49, -
ca would guess Is per, cent. -
(S) 1 would guess rs per cent.
90 I expect only moderate ad-
ditional liquidation for six months
to come.
r. L. Van Zandt, Governor Fed
eral Reserve Bank, Dallas, Texas.
There is continued Improvement
in some strictly agricultural sec
tons of this district where crops
were not a compete failure and
some revival of business in the oil
territory, but owing to stagnation
in the prices of livestock, wool, mo-
hair, and rice, and practically COM
plete crop failure over certain cot
ton areas, many loans. although
intrinsically sound. will have to be
carried for another year, and in the
case of cattle loans poss bly, for Two
years. Due to tine widely varying
conditions of different sections Of
this district, it is not possible to
make specific reply to your separate
inquiries.
Graham ID. Lacy, president Tootle-
Lacy Nat onal Bank. st. Joseph, No.
I do not anticipate pronounced
improvement during the rest OF the
year, but a steady and decided bet
terment OF conditions. We cannot
expect a pronounced Improvement
until there has been a liquidation
of labor proportlonate to the liqui-
dalton in commod ties. This applies
especially to railroad labor. There
must also be the enactment of sound
revenue laws and the clarifying of
the exchange situation.
Stocks on retail shelves are be-
ing depleted. Buying is on limited
scale and many merchants will
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1921-10-31

have to go into the market soon to
replenish.
The return of credit conditions to
normal viii be q slow process.
There are many adjustments yet
to he made, but business is slowly
but surely working out OF its en-
tanglements.
Undoubtedly there Is a very
large proportion of commercial
loans being carried over. Many
concerns which have heretofore
been in the open market must now
rely upon their banks. but with a
revival of business these loans will
be gradually retired. The situa-
ton in the country districts Is not
so favorable. The farmer con-
tracted his debts at a time when
his products were. selling at the
peak. He now must pay them at q
time when prices are at their
lowest. The process necessarily
will be a slow and tedious one. but
the farmer seems to realize the
situation, and when he makes up
his mind to do it he can econo-
mize more efficiently than any
other class of the community, and
he is now undoubtedly doing this.
Breckinridge Jones, president
Mississippi Valley Trust Company.
st. Louis, Mo.
~ Business from now on is
likely to be uneven; that is, there
will be spurts, such as noted in
September, with recessions follow
ing each. but the extent of the re-
cession in each succeeding instance
will not go SO far as its predeces-
sor. In other words, there will be
irregular Improvement until things
reach the ultimate level Of sta
bility.
t2) The answer to No. / covers
this.
(3D One guess on this is about as
good and authenthic as another.
Present progress in the various lines
observed in this district would seem
to indicate that the autumn of 1922
would see business at a point where
the community will no longer be look
ing for improvement.
"a High freight rates; back
wardness in building activity,
caused by the high wage scale in
the building trades and costly
building materials; the high cost
of fuel, due to miners wage scale
and railroad rates; the depression
in market values of farm products,
particularly wheat, corn and oats
unwillingness of a large section of
the retail trade to adjust prices to
square with the declines effected
in first hands, and the crippled con-
dition of the foreign outlet for
American products.
(O Department stores are carry
ing from IS to 80 per cent of nor
NAL stocks. Smaller establish
ments range from Is per cent I'M
der normal to 1914 per cent above.
60 Just what is understood by
normal credit conditions must gov
ern this reply. This much can be
said, that there is no longer any
strain on the credit structure as a
whole and ample credit exists and
can readily be had for every legiti-
mate business undertaking. To
this extent the credit status is
normal right now.
%. There has been very satisfac-
tory liquidation on so-called frozen
credits since September Is, particu-
larly in the South. This is true both
of commercial and bank credits. I'M
portant wholesale interests report
collections on extended accounts in
September and the first weeks of
october better than expected. There
is one instance come to my attention
