surance noted is apparently attri-
butable for the most part to the ac-
tual results or those anticipated
from relief legislation such as the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and the Glass-Steagall bill which
establishes more lenient rediscount
and note issue requirements. De-
clines in the amount of money in
circulation and increasing financial
stability during recent weeks indi-
cate the efficiency of these meas
ures in relieving tension and Great
ing a more salutary psychological
attitude important increase in ac-
tiVity was observed in the sales vol
umes of representative retail mer-
camille establishments. To some ex-
tent the movement of goods into
consumer channels was stimulated
by well designed and executed ad-
vertising and merchandising pro-
grams.
This is the introductory para
graph of the Monthly Summary of
Business Conditions on the Pacific
Southwest territory compiled by the
Department of Research and Ser
vice of the Security First National
Bank of Los Angeles, and released
for publication today The sum-
mary continues in part:
In the smaller localities in which
purchasing power is more directly
related to the returns from agri-
cultural pursuits, better feeling ap-
pears to have been engendered by
heavy SHOWS in the mountains and
widespread rainfall
Surface and subterranean sup
plies of water have been augment
ed substantially and the question
OF shortages for crop, pasture and
domestic purposes has been elimi-
mated in most sections for some
months to come. AS a result, costs
OF irrigation will be minimized in
many localities and the net income
to farmers enhanced. The extent
to which rainfall during the cur
rent season to March /, 1882, heav-
lily exceeded the showing of a year
ago.
Building activity in Los Angeles,
as reflected by the value of pro-
Jects for which permits were is
sued, increased in February over
the total for the preceding month.
The demands for iron and steel
products used in construction work
were at about the same level dur
ing the first two months of the
year, while some further slacken-
ing in cement output was noted in
the past month due primarily, it
is believed, to unfavorable weather
conditions. To this latter factor is
also attributed the falling off in
automobile tire purchases reported
by local manufacturer. Furniture
producers in the industrial area of
this city experienced better sales in
February, while changes in grain
milling and meat packing tonnages
were minor in proportions and
mixed in character.
Securities Markets
The secretary of the treasury an
nounced that on March 7 an un-
limited amount of one year, two
per cent bonds in denominations of
$50, S100 and $500, redeemable at
the holders option upon notice of
60 days would be offered for pop
ular subscription. The stated pur-
pose of this issue is to afford an
effective means whereby idle funds
may be brought back into actual
circulation and thus be made avail
able for commercial use and as
basis of credit.
