San Antonio Bases Hope
On Selling Cotton Abroad
SAN ANTONIO Ter

The slump in cotton, with q large
part OF the 1920 crop still unmarketed.
is the. most depressing factor in the
general situation in south Texas The
break IN the price of cattle and the
practical suspension Of the wool and
mohalr markets also has resulted in
frozen credits and decrease in pur-
chasing power. The Importation of
meats from South America and the i'm
portatlon of wool and mohair has af
tecred this section of the country adj
versely, and led to agitation for a pro
tective tariff. 1t is felt that the cotton
problem can be solved only by financing
Europe in its purchases Of the stanle
despite the slump in cotton it appears
from reports here that there viii he
little reduction in the cotton acreage
this year.
Retail and wholesale sales have been
affected by the decreased purchasing
power, but an improving tendency is
noted now. The employment problem
never serious here, also is improving.
except IN the cases of clerical help In
industrial lines the laborers are going
back to work at reduced wages.
Money Is still tight, although some
progress has been made in thawing
out credits Resentment at the policy
OF the Federal Reserve Bank is freely
expressed. In some cases business men
have had TO pay per cent for money
borrowed on gilt-edged security, in ad
dltlon to cash bonus of 10 Der cent
of the principal. In loans for develop
ment projects as high as SO 1-3 per cent
has been paid for money.

Losses or, Rubber
May Be Recovered

Indications that the country's
leading producers Of tires will dis
pose of large proportion of crude
rubber on which they wrote of
heavy losses because of price de-
probation last year at profitable
prices lend strength to tho belief
that much of the loss will be re-
covered.
The largest write-offs came In
crude rubber and fabrics and
amounted to millions of dollars.
With prices of tires remaining at
their present level-about pre-war
fgures-the raw materials pur-
chased at high prices will be
worked off in tires selling at prices
almost equal to the prices for
which the raw materials were pur-
chased. Lower costs, aided by in
creased efficiency, will bring about
further recovery of losses, it is
contended,

Depression Felt Only
Lightly in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES
The business depression swept its
hand lightly over Southern California
The shipbuilding industry was the
only one seriously affected, and ces-
saton of work in that inc has had
relatively little effect upon other in
dustries.
Retail sales have held up excep-
t'onaly, and are far beyond last year
in dollars and cents. The purchasing
power of the public, according to all
reports, has been unimpaired appar-
emily. Unemployment. in fact, has been
less noticeable than a year ago. There
has been some wedding out of incom-
petents and migration of casual labor
to other districts with the coming of
milder weather. Those thrown out of
work in the shipyards have been abb
scrbed in other lines of industry
Inventories of retail stores have de-
cllned steadily since last year and are
now estimated at 10 per cent below
January /, 1921.
The largest problem confronting
Southern California is that of develop
ing additional hydro electric power
and improving the harbor in Los An
geles. Included in the plans for de-
velopment along this line are q $25,-
oC0,o0O program for hydro-electric
power by the city, a still larger pro-
gram on the part of private interest
100000 for harhor development and
81 100000 for city water supply
storage.
On the whole crops in this vicinity
have been we'll marketed. The cham
Der of commerce estimates that 40 per
cent Of the 1920 crop has been for
warded. Another authority states that
the cotton carried over is large, large
Quantities of beans are still ware
housed, result in part of beans not
marketed in 1918, and a great surplus
OF lemons exists. The lemon growers
are throwing out some of this surplus
and stoutly maintain that the future
Of the industry depends on q protec-
tive tariff Because of the drop in
cotton prices much of the cotton land
VIII be planted in alfalfa this year.
The fruit pack is expected to be re-
duced 20 to 25 per cent The weather
and soil conditions SO far indicate
high yield an acre this year in agri-
cultural products.
The important problems of Southern
California; says a high banking
source, ARE not the problems of i'm
mediate readjustment. They are.
rat Their, the problems of continued de-
velopment California must now sup
ply its own capital for its own develop
nent. Eastern cities, which formerly
supplied capital to California, are en-
gagged in world financing and the flow
of New York capital to California is
stopping. With increasing demands
for capital for the development of re-
sources and industries, Californians
must contribute more heavily to their
own industries"

Seattle Feels Recovery;
Still Has Much TO Do

SEATTLE. Wash.
Just how far recovery from the in
dustrial readjustment has gone In this
section is hard to say. Retail sales in
volume of turnover are believed to be
on par with last year and the peak
OF unemployment has been passed, but
industrial activity is still about AZ per
cent below normal and little or no
progress has been made in "unfreez-
ing credit
Sentiment is hopeful, on the whole,
because Of indications that the bottom
has been reached, but many adverse
factors are still to be overcome
Freight rates form the principal handi-
cap IN lumber operations, and low
prices for farm products prevent farm
ers from releasing their products and
settling loans. Manufacturers and re-
tailers, for the most part, are willing
to take their losses and establish lower
price levels. AS a result inventories
have been greatly reduced. Purchases
of new merchandise have been on a re-
stricted scale.

Portland More Optimistic
As Lumber Outlook Gains
PORTLAND. Oreoon

Because lumber operations form the
chief industry of Portland and present
freight rates are retarding recovery in
that, little progress has been made
here. The business depression has been
felt only slightly, however, and the
outlook remains encouraging.
Retailers did not notice a reduction
in the volume of sales until about three
months ago. but since that time there
has been a gradual recession Supplies
of wool, canned goods and livestock
still exceed the demand and continue
to drop in value.
For the reason that only slow prog
ress has been made in marketing old
crops, not much alienation from
frozen credit has been obtained.
Money is available for improvements,
however. and striking progress has
been made in locating new Industries,
as we'll as in expanding old ones.

Sales are improving in food and textile
products, but a considerable amount Of

little change, but an encouraging sign
is the readiness with which home build
ers obtain funds. No noticeable reduc-
ton in purchasing power has been
seen, although a tendency to await
lower prices has been noted.
Industrial development has been
satisfactory and large number of in
qulrles from Eastern concerns is taken
to forecast establishment of branches
on the Pacific Coast to overcome higher
transportation costs.

Business in the Southwest at pres

change for more than month Farm
ers are busy planting new crops, on
which much depends in the way of in
dustrial recovery, it is believed.
Progress has been made despite the
fact that liquidation of loans has been
accomplished with difficulty because Of
low prices for cotton. Unemployment
has not been serious and is decreasing.
Retaiis sales have improved to some
extent, and inventories have been ma
terially reduced from the peak of last

Credit conditions remain stringent
