The Coconino sun. (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1898-1978, 1927-11-18

The Arizona Industrial Congress re-
ports business in general followed an
upward trend in October. Improve
ment in retail trade did not come up
to expectations in many cases, but
on the whole conditions compared
very favorably with the corresponding
period of last year, and outlook for
the winter is good. Mining sections
have remained somewhat quiet, but
agricultural communities show in
creased activity, while opening of
what promises to be a record winter
tourist season also has been of benefit.
The agricultural situation in the
state has been materially strength
ened by returns from the cotton crop,
one-third of which was ginned prior
to November /, and the gradual re-
vival of the dairy industry has been
particularly encouraging for the fu-
ture. Lettuce acreage this season is
larger than eyer before, totaling
about 1900 acres. Movement from
Duncan has already started, and Salt
River Valley shipments will begin
between the goth and 25th.
Conditions in the livestock industry
have continued favorable, with ranges
good and stock in excellent shape. The
bulk of fall cattle movement is re-
ported over, and feeder prices have
been the best in some years. Mining
however, shows little change, with
production maintaining about the
same rate as during the summer, but
with considerable activity in new
development.

at Prescott; another is nearing COM
pletion at Mesa; third is under con-
struction at Nogales, and fourth is
being started at Douglas, with rapid
progress also being made on another,
of seven stories, in Phoenix. Among
the large developments, the Lake
Pleasant Dam, which will irrigate the
$4,000 acre Beardsley project IN Mari
copa county, being developed by the
Pacific Development company, will be
formally dedicated on November 10.
Pouring of cement is under way on

Casa Grande Valley, and canal con-
struction for the Roosevelt Irrigation

nix has been begun.
Rejecting the steady improvement
in banking conditions which has been
apparent for the past several years,
a report of the state banking depart
ment covering the condition of all
banks as of October 10 showed total
bank deposits in the state as S73, 567,-
203.57, compared with SCI, 674, 1927

a report was issued on the same date.

The English common law, which the
