Carlsbad.
Reported by the National Bank
of Carlsbad:
All our range country east of the
Pecos river has had a good rain,
grass being in excellent condition
and cattle improving right long.
However, on the west side of the
river and back in the mountains we
have not had rain and it is begin
ming to get dry. However, live
stock is holding UP remarkably
well.
There was some hail in the lower
part of the project few nights
ago, which did some damage. but
not a great deal.
Cotton prospects here are i'm
-proving right along, We have a
larger acreage than we have ever
had and the crop is doing excel
lently. From present indications
there should be a million dollar
crop. Alfalfa has not brought in
much money this year.
We had large and successful
Fourth of July celebration he e.
We had about 5000 visitors here
on the third, fourth and fifth. We
had quite q varied number of at
fractions and entertainments. The
water carnival was quite a treat to
the people as a majority of them
live where they cannot take ad-
vantage of swimming and boating.
The rodeo, which was attended by
a large number of contestants, was
the best managed rodeo ever seen
in this part of the southwest.
Everyone expressed themselves as
being highly pleased. On the day

Taiban.
Reported by the Bank of Com
merce:
Rains north fine. Good showers
in balance of this section and every
indication that row crops will be
good. Farmers are planting heavy
bean crop. Cattle is in good shape.
General conditions are improving.
Hot Springs.
Reported by the First National
bank:
The financial situation in this
district has not changed much since
the last report.
The weather continues dry and
the county is sadly in need of mois-
ture. Although we have had few
showers in the last two weeks, most
of them have been light and cover
ing only a small area. Our livestock
men are still feeding their cattle
some.
Bank deposits have improved
somewhat in the last two weeks,
due mostly from the increased num-
ber of visitors to the Springs for the
baths, and to Elephant Butte lake
for fishing and bathing.
The grain crops are rs per cent
lighter than last year, on account
of the scarcity of water in the
mountain streams, and there will
be practically no flood water crops
raised this year.
There have been no real estate
transactions since our last report.
Buildings under construction are
going forward, but no new buildings
contemplated at this time.
Corona.
Reported by the Stockmen's State
bank:
With reference to general condi-
tions in this section, we regret to
advise that it still continues dry
with little moisture, and rains fall
ing are so scattered and spotted
that they are doing little good.
There is no livestock changing
hands, since they are not in good
condition and will not sell readily
until their condition improves.
Sheep have been shorn, and wool
is being shipped out. Most of the
wool was contracted for some time
|aSo. This sale is all that is bring
ing any money into this section at
present. However, financial condi-
tions are very good at present. or
course there will be a great Inn
provement in the future, however.
for in the country in general, finan-
cial conditions are good.
There have been enough showers
around most of this vicinity to bring
up the crops, most of which consist
of beams and If rain will come In
the near future, prospects for crops
will be, reasonably good.
. las Vegas.
Reported by the Peoples Bank
land Trust company:
1t is still dry here. We need rain
badly, and there will he poor crops
unless we get rains soon. Retail
trade is rather slow. Many tourists
are coming in. attracted by the cool
weather and the trout streams.
