Richmond Bank Cites
Sharp May Gains
In Fifth District
Debts, RetoiI Trade
And Wholesale Lines
Share in Upturn
BY the Associated Press,


RICHMOND. Va, July 1.-The
Federal Reserve Bank Of Richmond
reported trade and industry In the
5th district showed a substantial
improvement" during May, as COM
pared with business year ago.
The District, which includes Mary
land, District of Columbia. Virginia,
West Virginia and North and South
Carolina, showed an improvement in
debts to individual accounts which
reflected an increase in business
passing through banks.
Retail trade in department and
furniture stores during May ex-
ceeded May. 1898, while wholesale
trade in numerous leading lines was
larger in May than in April, 1899,
and May, 1888
New automobiles sold showed
less than seasonable decline from
April to May and sales were ahead
of May. 1898. South Carolina led
the District with an increase of 80
per cent in May over the same month
last year.
The Federal Reserve Banks re-
port credited a large volume of con-
struction work, sustained activity in
the textile industry, steady employ
ment in the tobacco manufacturing
industry, active shipbuilding pro-
grams in the Hampton Roads sec
ton and Government payments to
farmers under crop and soil pro-
grams for increased purchasing
power.
The bank said P. w. A. projects
accounted for large part of the
heavy construction work, while the
Federal Housing Administrator in
sured loans had encouraged more
residential buildings.
The report said cotton textile
mills operations were at a higher
level and rayon mills shipped more
yarn to domestic consumers in May
than in April, while surplus stocks
of yarn were 80 per cent lower than
those held year ago.
The bank predicted depleted coal
reserves during the mine shutdown
would sustain mine production.

Chase 10 Stop Interest
On Thrift Accounts
BY the Associated Press,

oy Inc ASSOCIATED Press.
NEW YORK. July 1.-The Chase
National Bank, the largest in the
country, announced yesterday that
effective August it would discon-
tinue the payment of interest on
compound interest accounts.
Since November, 1898, the bank
has been paying l per cent annually
on these so-called thrift account
balances between $50 and $1,000. u
OF / per cent from 81 1000 to $500
and no interest on amounts over
$500.
Its announcement said the aqpre-
gate OF such accounts was less than
l per cent of its total deposits of
something over two billion dollars
Elimination of interest, banking
circles pointed out, was in line with
a trend inaugurated by certain
banks to cope with declining rev.
enues from loans and investments
New Jersey banks, acting under
orders OF the State Bank Depart
ment. recently reduced the interest
rate on savings accounts to per
cent. In New York State savings
banks generally pay per cent on
deposits up to certain limits.

Farm Economic Status
Is Reported Close 10
That Of 1929
Gosh Income Is Lower;
Debt, Prices Paid and
Taxes Also Down
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July lit is less
difficult to square the fact that
rural retail sales have been running
within 8 per cent or so of the 1929
level, with farm cash income some
81 per cent below the 1929 figures,
If the accuracy of these yardsticks
and the changes in the position of
the farmer are taken into account,
observes the Standard Statistics
Co., currently.
THE index of rural retail sales
gives heavy weighing to mail order
business and the farmers may be
spending larger portion Of their
income with the mail order con-
Germs than formerly, perhaps at the
expense of local stores. Also, the
decentralization of industry has
probably operated to swell the mail
order figures. with stores again the
losers. Both would tend to make
the increase in retail buying appear
larger than it really is.
"On the other side of the euua-
ton the economic position of the
farmer is considerably better than
comparisons of cash income would
suggest. Although cash farm in
come in the first four months of
this year was 70 per cent of that in
the similar 1929 period, the decline
in prices of the things the farmer
needs to buy has been such that
his true purchasing power has been
very close to the 1929 level.
Farmers have reduced their
mortgage debt 26 per cent during
the past 10 years and their interest
charges IS per cent. Short-term
debt is also down sharply and In
terest rates on these loans are low
er. The number of hired hands has
been reduced and with it expendi-
lures for labor. Taxes on farm
property in 1887 were 80 per cent
less than in 1929.
THE result of these savings in
overhead and operating costs has
been a large increase in the pro-
portion of farm income available for
buying the products of industry. On
this basis the good to excellent first
half sales of the industries catering
to the farm trade would appear to
rest on firm foundation and their
showlngs should continue to be
favorable"

Chisox Apt to Pass to Son, Is,
OfLote Lou Coniskey, Who
Will Be Buried Saturday

Comiskey, II, Uncle Louis" only
son, until he becomes of age.
Named for his illustrious grand
father, the boy, now 13, has grown
up in baseball He frequently has
worked out with the team in his
own White SoX uniform.
Friends said thoughts of his boy
were on his mind just before Com
iskey passed into coma. He opened
his eyes, raised his hand to his head
in salute-one of his familiar ges-
tures-turned to the boy and with
smile said: Hello, son."
Those were his last words.
Friends saw in those two words
and in that salute to his son ges-
ture that might prove significant
inheritance of the famous club by
the third generation of Comiskeys,
probably just as the original Charles
A. Comiskey would have wished.
If the club is held in trust for
Charles A., II, q protectorate con-
sisting of the widow and Harry
Grabiner, business manager and vice
president, probably would be formed
to handle the affairs of the team
until the boy becomes of age. Grab
iner, undoubtedly, will stay in ac-
tive charge, even as he did under
Uncle Lou" and his father before
him. Grabiner started in the White
Sox organization as an office boy 36
years ago and is regarded as a
capable executive.
