80 banks situated here, at Louis
vile, Memphis, Little Rock and

aggregating s99,11S,035. This is
an increase of $1,175,446 over the

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-Negotia-
tons are now in progress for an
adjustment between the Municipal

whereby the company will operate
the municipality owned elevated

ers of automobile bodies and parts
here are feeling a revival of de-

FARMER NEEDS

but the farmers in his section have
obtained good service from the

cago. Mr.. Shin says there is big
demand for loans from Fulton
farmers for liquidation purposes
about March 1.
Fred B. Taylor, secretary-treas-
urer of the Yates City association
which operates in parts of Fulton
Knox and Peoria counties adjacent
10 that place, says: I'VE have ne
gotiated q loans for the u mem
bers of our association aggregating
1921 900. The farms range in size
from 80 acres to 100 acres. The
money borrowed is being used tc
improve the farms in some in
stances and for paying off debts on
