BANKS MONTHLY REPORT SHOWS
BUSINESS HELD LEVEL in JUNE

Business activity in Southern Cal
ifornia during June remained at
about the same level as in preced-
ing months, according to the
monthly summary of business con-
ditions compiled and published by
the Security-First National bank.
Although retail trade in Los An
geles during the month was OF
smaller volume than in May, the
decline was not as extensive as is
usual at this season. Merchants in
suburban and rural communities, on
the other hand, transacted consid-
erably more business in June of this
year than in the same priod in 1888
and made fair showing in con-
trast with May, the review states,
continuing in part as follows:
Bank deposits extended their
upward trend in June while credit
conditions continued to improve.
The turnover of bank deposits, as
reflected by debts to individual ac-
counts, was larger in June than in
May. contrary to the usual down.
ward movement at this season. De-
mand deposits of Los Angeles banks
expanded to a new high level for
the recovery period during the foui
weeks ended June 20, apparently as
a result of United State Govern
ment payments to individuals anc
| corporations in excess of the
| amounts collected from them. The
volume of time deposits also showed
| considerable growth.
Preliminary reports from leading
| department stores in Los Angeles In
dicate that sales during June vert
approximately per cent smaller
than in the comparable month las
year. While the contrast for tht
twelve months period is unfavor
able, particularly when the marked
rise in prices during the interva
is taken into consideration, it shoult

be noted that the decline from May
is of considerably less than seasonal
proportions. Merchants state that,
on the average, prices are slightly
lower than a few months ago and
that current quotations on new fall
merchandise are in many instances
a little below those of the preceding
season. Despite this general trend,
selected lines are said to be show
ing further increases in price.
Rural Areas Better
Suburban and rural communities
made a better showing in compari-
son with 1888 than did Los Ange-
les, 16 out of 19 reporting cities re-
gistering gains during June. Inquiry
as to the lines which are making
the most favorable record at this
time indicates that automobiles,
wearing apparel, dry goods and me-
chanical refrigerators are probably
enjoying the best demand while
jewellery, furniture, and building
materials are least favored.
, Representative firms in the field
of wholesale trade made relatively
favorable showings during June
majority of lines reporting sales
equal to or in excess of May and
above the results of the correspond
ing month year ago.
"MiXed trends were evident in
the local fields of industry during
June. While some lines were rela-
lively active, others displayed de-
clines Of more than seasonal pro-
portions Continued dullnesS in the
residential building field remained
restricting influence in many
sections.
"'Steel firms were actively en-
gagged filling second quarter speci-
fications during the month, as or
ders continued to be received from
customers anticipating price in
creases and labor troubles. BY
reason of the artificial spur to de-
mand in May and June, those COM
panies which serve wide variety
of customers are said to be facing a
quiet period during July. Cement
production showed a seasonal de-
cline last month. Demand from
private building remained slow. The
oil tool business was, on the whole,
maintained at the May level. Volume
in that field for the first half OF
the year was more than double the
amount received in the correspond
ing period of 1888.
Unusually hot weather through
out the middle west increased the
demand for California oranges and
lemons during June above expecta-
tions and resulted in spectacular
advances in prices. The advance OF
valencia orange prices to the high
est level of the unusually prosper
Gus year of 1880 was the outstand-
ing feature of the agricultural Sit
uation during June. The decidu-
Gus fruit outlook for the state as
whole is good although unfavor-
able climatic conditions resulted in
very short crop in the southern
counties. Unless unexpected de-
velopments alter the situation, the
agricultural income of the state
will be materially larger this year
than last.

MIDDLE WEST

TOPEKA, Kansas, July 3. U.R)-
Despite whitening heat and an ex-
tended drought, the condition in
crops in the II states served by the
Santa Fe railroad is above the level
of last year, an agricultural sum-
mary by the railroad showed to-
day.
Periodic rains have bolstered
crops and chances for a favorable
yield still are in sight, the report
added.
In Kansas prospects point to
normal crop of corn, sorghums and
tame hay. Dry weather forced an
early wheat harvest with the result
that the crop of approximately 85,-
600 900 bushel soon will be out OF
the way. While short, the crop is
27 900 900 bushels larger than last
years yield. Prices are double
those of a year ago.
The Oklahoma outlook is good.
The state raised and harvested ap-
proximately 4O,000,000 bushels OF
wheat, or 100000 bushels more
than last year.
With the exception of cotton and
vegetables. crops in Texas deterl-
Grated due to warm weather. A so
per cent increase in tomato move
ments from East Texas was report
ed. Wheat harvesting is complete
and yields were fair and quality
good.
Rain is needed in the corn areas
of Missouri, the report said.
Crop conditions in Nebraska arc
poor. Corn is only a few inches
high, but there is good stand.
and rain would put the crop in a
favorable position.
The sugar beet districts of Color
ado reported a need for more mois-
ture.
California IS agricultural position
occupied a more favorable outlook
than for some time. Production Is
under normal, but the state will
supply all that the markets will
take. Citrus fruits were in good
condition and there was an active
movement.
Cereal crops in New Mexico were
damaged by the heat.
Citrus shipments from Arizona
ran above levels of a year ago. High
temperatures and shortage of wat
er deteriorated the wheat, barley
and oat crops. Livestock and range
conditions were "Spotty.'

The American Civil Liberties
Union, which has found some
defenders among the people of
Imperial Valley, though very
few. puts itself in its true light,
in the quotation from Clinton ].
Taft in the above United Press
dispatch.
Taft, who has made several
visits to the valley in the past,
never in a constructive sense,
openly advocates that men, wO-
men and children in this COM
munity be left to go short on
water or without it; that cat
tie on valley ranches and crops
in the field be permitted to be
destroyed, rather than that the
valley should receive any finaii-
cial help from the government.
Imperial Valley knows that
Taft's charges of "unrebuked
vigilantism" are false. Those
who read his malicious slander
are not only assured that it is
false but that it is no more than
could be expected from a dis
eased mentality that could give
birth to such recommended
tion.
Imperial Valley doesn't need
to defend itself from Taft and
his ilk. Fortunately there is a
responsible govern ment in
Washington, not swayed by the
wild and depraved rantings of
fanatics with sawdust where
their brains should be. u. p.
