Fifth District Business Review.
The Richmond Federal Reserve
Banks monthly review covering Oc-
tober and early November, just be-
ing distributed, says:
| "On the whole. business in the
fifth reserve district was below sea-
| sonal average in October. Condi-
! tions We're spotted, with both favor
able and unfavorable influences
plainly discernible, but the unfavor-
able factors were more pronounced
at the end of October than in Sep
| tember or in October year ago.
| Unemployment spread noticeably, the
| volume of new construction work
| undertaken declined to the lowest
| level in five years, both wholesale
and retail trade fell below October
| 1926 business, and cotton produc-
ton estimates and cotton prices de-
| clined below the September figures.
| The employment situation appears to
| be the chief obstacle to the develop
| ment of a normal Fall and Winter
| trade, and there are no signs at
| present of much early improvement.
| I'm spite of the discouraging de-
| velopments enumerated, favora BILE
| factors that seem to offer encourage
ment for the near future are visible.
| Customers Of member banks are
! liquidating the years Indebtedness in
seasonal volume, and the banks in
turn are retiring their rediscounts at
the Reserve bank and are building
secondary reserves by increasing their
! investments in securities.
| Bank deposits, especially savings
and time deposits. are at record levels.
| Business failures in the fifth district
were relatively low in number during
| October. and the liabilities involved
were the smallest for any month this
