Frisco Retail Trade and
Realty Market Broaden
BY LYNN C. SIMPSON.


Special Dispatch to The star.
SAN FRANCISCO. November I'll
An Improvement in retail trade.
chiefly noticeable in seasonal goods
and a widening out Of the real estate
market which has been stimulated
by easier money, are outstanding fea-
lures Of the business situation here
at present. In outlining the situa-
ton today, ono Of the omcers OF
leading commercial bank declared
that the expected industrial revival
had not yet taken place. Real estate
loans, however, are increasing In vol
ume and interest rates are somewhat
lower.
Except for few scattered lots, the
fruit shipping season Is over. Tho
deciduous fruit shipments for the
year SO far total about 100000 cars. an
Increase of 5000 cars over the amount
shipped In 1920. Grapes led the other
fruits with shipments of $4,000 cars.
q gain OF 1000 cars over last year.
Rice prices here are stronger, and
the demand for shipment to the
orient continues undated. 1t is
stated that much of this California
rice will be shipped back to the
United States as blended Japanese
rice. Prune prices remain unchanged
here. but growers outside of the as
ISOLATION are holding their stocks for
an advance. One sale of several car
loads for the eastern seaboard is re-
ported, however.

General Rains in Texas
Start Revival of Trade
BY JAMES r.. RECORD.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FORT WORTH. Tex, November q.
Drought breaking rains have put
new life into the business. banking.
farming and oil industries Of the
southwest. Oil drilling had been dis
continued over wide area. 1t is
estimated 800 rigs had been tied up
for lack Of water. Farmers had been
sitting and watching the wheat die
in the rows and retail trade was at
a standstill. Every activity has been
resumed, however. with the coming
of general rains.
The most noticeable commercial
impetus during the last week has
been tho demand for crude oil. Buy
ers locked into Mexia and other fields
and for the 6rst time in the present
year there has been q demand for
more production. Supply houses and
industries related to the oil business
expected to feel the effect Of this
activity in the next few weeks, as
drilling probably will be greatly in
creased.
The advent Of cold weather. later
this year than ever before. has in
fused life into retail trade. especially
in clothing and shoe lines. The shoe
business seldom had been SO poor in
Texas before, but the, rains and a
norther have resulted in a brisk re-
sumption of demand.
Building material in the southwest
now have reached a level of prices
estimated at 80 per cent under those
obtaining last year. but building oD-
erations continue to lag.
