BUSINESS SHOWS
GENERAL SLUMP
DURING MONTH

Business and industrial activity
in Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia, generally, declined during
January, 1890, both as compared
with the corresponding month
wear ago and with the preceding
month of December. The slowing
down of activity is reflected in the
figures of bank debts which dcclin-
cd in six of seven cities for which
these data arc available. Bank deb
it's in Los Angeles during January,
1870. were 14.G and y, of l per cent
less. respectively. than DURING .'an-
rarv. 1929. and December, 1929. De-
spite the lowering of activity in gcil-
cral, the Fundamental factors under
living tho general business situation
ar" sound.
This is the Introductory paragraph
of the monthly summary of business
conditions in the Pacific southwest
territory compiled bv the DEPART
mcnt o. research and service OF the
Security. First National Bank of Los
Angeles, and released for publlca-
tion today. The summary continues
IN part:
Operations in oil fields, iron and
steel fabricating plants, meat pack
ing establishments, automobile tire
factories, and furniture factories IN
Southern California were, in general,
carried on at lower levels during
January. 1890. than during January,
1929. The value of building permits
issued in Los Angeles during Janu.
arv. 1880, was more than double that
Of December. 1929, and was 2l.3 per
cent larger when compared with
permits issued during January, 1929.
The comparatively large January
building valuation total, however.
was due to few permits issued for
large amounts.
The number of business failures
in Southern California during the
four weeks period ending January
%. 1880. was smaller than the mum
Der for the corresponding period Of
1929, and was larger than the mum
Der for the preceding four weeks
period in December.
There vas comparatively little
difference IN the volume of trade at
. retail during January. 1880. as com
pared with january. 1929, as meas
urcd by sales of department stores.
Some Los angeles department. stores
reported snail declines which were
, Eaftlv counterbalaneed by increases
in others. However. the situation in
other lines of retail trade Wa. no,
so favorable IN some eases. Com.
merce through the Los Angeles har.
| Dor during January, 1880, was i6 ;
and 30 per cent less, in tonnage and
value, respectively, than during Dee.
ember, 1929, and % and 15.s per
cent larger in tonnage and value, re.
| speetivcly, than during January,
1929, according to preliminary fig.
. urcs.

cd during January. Rain and SNOW.

the month have improved the lithcr-
to poor condition of pastures and
ranges and have replenishcd the
supply of soil moisture for the com,

most Southern California points is
NOW either approximately the same
or ahead of last years figures, but

Some wise man recently stated rha, there would bc no financial troubles on the horizon were 1t not for debts.
 In back of the need for farm re- liol" he avcrrcd, is the fact that 100 many farmers went into the land speculation racket, with tine result that they have too many mortgages on their hands. The average farmer 1n the West. he avarred, is more pcs'ared by mortgage paym,nts and interest than he is bothered by low prices for farm products.
 Then. this wise man averred, one rau 20 into the cities and calculate inc difficulty caused by mor'-a=cs sa4Ued on real estate during the boom period. the Msh-priced leases signed during that period. IL takes TO mathematician to discover where some source Of irritation lies. he said.

But such goods can oe pad for, and usually are, within a year or two, while an ordinary noa>y laden mortgage or lease runs or for years and years.
