RETAIL FIGURES PUZZLE.

NEW YORK, March 31.-Some
wholesalers have found il difficult
to reconcile the figures on retail
sales put out by the Federal Reserve
Board with the slow buying of the
stores. 1t has been matter of COM
mon knowledge, so the wholesalers
contend, that the first quarter of the
year has failed to furnish the eN-
pected business. Making all due all
lowance for the great number of
small orders received in the whole
sale trade, it is felt, nevertheless,
that the total fell quite short of what
was done last year in the same period.

INDUSTRIAL REPORT
 SHOWS STATE GAINS

General conditions in the state con tinHcd to improve during November, practically all lines reporting ir- crcdyes over October, which was con sidered one of the best months of the year.
 There were mo developments in agriculture worth mentioning. Hay prices made further advances, and both short and long staple cotton held their own as compared with the pre- viOVs month.
 Sheep men have had a successful season, with prospects good for an other. Rains and SnOWs have been en- couraging to cattlemcn, and ranges generally are in good shape. Condi- ti0nS in the Los Angeles cattle mar kct as a result of the opening of the union stockyards are causing concern in the cattle industry, and buyers are needed in many sections.
 A serious shortage of railroad cars in northern Arizona handicapped stockmen, lumber mills and other in dustries.
 The price of copper stiffcned in No vember, and few offers are reported below II cents a pound. Sales were in fair volume, and several increases in production were made.
 There is a small surplus of Unskill- ed labor in some localities, but unem- plOyment is at a minimum.
 Agricultural Conditions Improve
 Seasonal activities continue in agri- culture. Good germination is reported on small grain seed, and fields are in good growing condition. Some early barley is being pasturcd in dairy sec tions, and a good acreage has been contracted for by sheep men for win ter pasture, prices for barley pasture being reported at from $20 to $25 an acre. A large part of the grain sorg- hum crop has been cut with the stalks entire, and much of the crop in the southern valleys will be fed off. Pas ture on stubble fields has sold around Sl.50 a head per month.
 Flowing for spring crops, done this falls, is reported as 80 per cent of the amount usually done.
 The average yield per acre of white potatoes in Arizona is reported at S5 bushels, and the quality 80 per cent of normal. It is reported early snow prevented the digging Of much of the Coconino county crop. The quality of stored potatoes is very good, due to careful grading.
 Sweet potatoes showed an average yield of 150 bushels per acre. The yield of corn per acre was reduced from previous estimates, dry weather and early frost being the causes. It is estimated about 20 per cent of the states corn crop will be husked for grain, nearly 70 per cent used in silos, and 10 per cent for forage. The per centage used for forage probably will

Livestock Conditions Unsettled

Cattlemen of Arizona are eXpenGnc- ing the most unsettled market condi- ton in years, according to a bulletin just issued by the Arizona Cattle Growers association, which declares chaotic conditions in the Los Angeles stock yards have created great unCer- tainty, both of markets and prices.
 The bulletin declares that since the opening of the union stockyards at Los Angeles November 1st, large num- bcrs of cattle from the northwest and Rocky Mountain districts and from Texas have been moved to Los An gcles which formerly went to eastern markets. These cattle are thrown or the open market, and many of them have been sold at sacrifice, since they cannot be moved. The opening of the StOCkyardS also has kept buy CTS off the ranges to great extent. In addition to having to sell his stock in direct competition with that from other states, the Arizona cattleman runs the risk of having to feed his cattle in the yards for days and take loss from shrinkage, until he can find Q buyer.
 The association believes that cattle men are loath to give up the present fair system of selling their herds at the ranches, under which cattle are ta- ken as they are needed, and not dump ed on the market because the grower has TO other outlet.
 The Arizona livestock report fol November issued by the U. s. bureau of agricultural economies and coop. erating agencies, states it is probable fall sales will reach 130,000, of which 100000 will be shipped outside the state, mostly to California.
 The fall movement of sheep and lambs to market is estimated at 26O, 900 head. Sheep men are greatly en- couraged by their successful season.

INTERESTING EARLY
 ARIZONA HISTORY

Countless ruins of prehistoric culture still exist in Arizona, including old irrigation canals. And the Indian pu- eblos of today are the most remark able in the United States. Friar Mar cos de Niza was the first Spaniard to enter, the limits of this state. He crossed the southeastern corner in 1539. In 1540 he conducted Coronado over the same route. One of Coro- nado's captains visited the Hopi and another reached the Grand Canyon. Early in the seventeenth century con- siderable progress was made in Chris tianizing the Hopis. In 1880 came the great Pueblo revolt. The Hopis have ever since remained an independent tribe; they have the privilege of vot- ing and their women are said to be the original American suffragettes. The Indian reservations comprise IT, 5S6,000 acres, occupied by 41,05O ln- dians.
