Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. g.
Rains throughout the southwest in
the last week have produced better
conditions in the range country
and have stopped the wild rush OF
cattle to the markets.
Trade of livestock has been re-
sumed and a more optimistic feel
ing prevails among ranchmen. A
conference between American and
Mexican business men will be held
at Laredo shortly and is expected
to result in increased trade il
cattle.
The unemployment problem
throughout the southwest is solv-
ing itself chiefly through addition
al farming operations, oil prospect
ing work and road building. The
improvement in the bond market
has been followed in Texas by the
sale of millions of dollars worth
of road bonds. This new work is
absorbing thousands who were out
of work when harvesting ceased.
Farmers have been encouraged
somewhat by recent freight rate ad-
justments. Business failures in
Texas in 1921 were IT'S against 294
in 1920. Bank clearings showed
a decided gain throughout this dis
trict in the last month and banks
report an increase in deposit ac-
counts.
