Rich, Chairman of Re- serve, Makes Report on Busi- ness Conditions LIVELY BUYING SEEN Reports From Cities in North- west Indicate Generally Bet- tered Conditions Minneapolis, Minn., May 27.—An im- provement in the crop outlook, with stabilized or improving prices for farm and range produce characterizes the month of May, says the Ninth Dis. tict Federal Reserve bank’s monthly report issued yesterday. Improved buying in urban centers owing to a large building program and the reopening of copper and iron mines, is evidenced also, the report adds, while credit facilities are in a Position to ‘finance a substantial in- crease both in industry and market- ing, In its summary, the report says: Crop prospects appear very prom- ising at the present, time, Winte wheat has had) excellent:i growing weatherin the northeastern states with less than the five-year average of win- ter killiig, “which meanst hat if no un-| favorable developments occur later, there will be an increased production over 1921, »-Rye in this section has increased enormously over last year in acre:; agp; and: prégenticonditions appear to} warrant a fngkierop, fully two-thirds larger than ‘Jagfe¥ear, North Dakota pat ating, ylly in, this in- cregsed,’ ‘productiom; ‘Spring wheat seeding was unseasonably late in Mon-| tana, but reasonably satisfactory, else. where, ie Livetock Situation Fair. Livestock in this district as a whole came through the winter in average condition, although there were losses greater than normal in North Dakota. A recent survey indicates that Mon- tana will have more wool than last year. Butter production in Minnesota hag increased 10 Der cent. The marketing movement and prices of farm products remain substantially unchanged. ‘Hogs, ‘cattle and calves moved to market more rapidly than is normal] for this season, but the move. ment of sheep, and grains was less normal, except for corn, oats, and bar. ley. The price of flax has risen while that of lambs and calves has declined The wool market has strengthenea very satisfactorily in recent weeks, and dairymen report unchanged prices of butterfat. ‘City consumers havo ex- gerlencéd a slight’ increase in the Wices of the essentials in the aver- age household, ‘The volume of buying at retail has improved with considerable increases in retai] lumber sales and department stores sales and a less than seasonal jdecline in the sales of mail order ‘Houses.

Security sales werg somewhat reduced during the month, but are running much larger than a year ago, ALL-STAR CAST PROMISED FOR Announcement Made of Selec- tion of Part of Big Cast to, Produce Elks Frolic SPECIAL SCENIC EFFECTS The end men an: many. of the specialty. men tor the big klks min- strel show to be given at the city auditorium June 2 and 3 have been selected by Director Clint Draper. Others will be announced in a few days. | ae ‘The end men will be C. R. Simpson, Rudy Patzman, T, J. McNeese, James, Taylor, Dr. J. K. Blunt, W. J. Riggs, Bob Webb and Alex Rosen. ‘The spe- cialty men include Verna Goddard, Henry Duemeland, Bom Simpson, J. G. Belanger, Gao, H, Russ and W. W. Sandy. One of the hits of the show is ex- pected to be an old man’s dancing act, in which, six men portraying the characters of old darkies will show how their feet behave when the ban- jos begin strumming along the river levee. “Another feature includes ten persons, with five of them,imperson- ating negro mammies. Verne God- dard leads this dance. Henry Duemeland will prove that real music can be gotten out of a har- monica, or mouth organ. Bob, Simp- son will deliver a regular Virginia darky’s sermon. Joe Belanger has a song and a waltz clog dance. George Russ will sing a nut song entitled “Witch Hazel.” The big minstrel show is rapidly taking shape with nightly rehearsals, ‘There will be two parts to the show and about nine scenes. The exact number has not been determined—Mr. ‘Draper has such a wealth of material for this show. The first scene is a clubroom scene, with the chairman and.secretary vain- ly trying to keep order while select- ing men for the various characters in the minstrel show. The, man with the heavy feet wants to be a ballot dancer, the man who couldn’t keep a tune with a policeman to help guard it insists he wants to sing a solo, and other incongruities help to make, this scene a bunch of fun. There are sev- eral scenes in the first part, in which the various specialties are introduced. The second scene is the grand min- strel ensemble. (Mr. Draper has brought with him several trunks full: of new. costumes and a great deal of special scenery, ‘Mrs. Draper is lending valuable. as- sistance in ‘the production, in arrang- ing the make-up, costuming and a score of other important matters con- groceries, shoes and dry goods have declined. \ ‘ Increases in Stocks, Stocks of merchandise and materials remained about the same during the monthon the average, although ‘there has been an increase in the stocks of department stores and in the elevator stocks of wheat, corn and barley. When stocks are compared with a year ago, it appears there has been an increase for al) grains except flax, and for department ‘stores, but a substan- tial decline in the case of lumber. re- tailers, aE : Manufacturing indicates mixed con- ditions with declines in the production of flour and lingge@ products, but ai small increase in refined copper pro- duced and a doubling. of Jumber cut}, by manufacturers, Similar tendencies e shown ity the same industries nm compared with a year ago. ditig operations. projected in the important cities in this district dou, bled i ‘April, as compared with March, bothin n r and in -yglyation of petits aia ‘ vand B69 Ha than a. year ago. “An improvement’ in, the rémital situation locally is indicated hy the number of rental advertise- | ments increasing more. than one-half as compared with a year. ago. ‘Employment conditions have impro; ed noticeably because of the reopen- ing’ of mines, doubling. of building operations, and the high pressure of farm ‘labor demand occasioned by the late spring, Volume of General Business, The volume ‘of general business |’ measured by bank debits, coupled with a, consideration of the foregoing fac- tors, indicates there has not becn ‘much change since last month. The lack of a substantial improvement in volume hag. further delayed the ex- pected improvement in statistics of business failures. April failures were much larger, both in number and liabil- ities than a year ago, although there has been some reduction in liabilities ag compared with March. The re; opening of traffic.on the lakes on April 47 was later than a year ago and did not influence the volume of business substantially during the month. Financia] conditions from the stand- point of. available credit facilities are very satisfactory. Selected member banks in eight large cities reported, substantial increases in deposits, some reduction ‘in loans by customers and considerable investment in: bonds and sécurities. iThe Federal Reserve bank has had recently: a noticeable although small increase in loans requested by and gfanted to member banks. The twelve Federal Reserve banks experi- enced a reduction in loans during the |; month and an incfeage in reserves! and of deposit although Federal Re- serve notes were not required in such large quantities.

HAMPDEN, GREAT ACTOR, PLANS IN DRAMATIC ROLE Small But Appreciative Audi- | ence Sees Him in “The Ser- vant in the House” ‘Walteky Hampden now stands as one of the great Shakespearean act- ors of the country.’ His portrays, of the characters of the immortal Bard of Avalon have won praise in the highest dramatic and literary: circles. It is unfortunate that his: company jcame to the, city at this particular time, as it is likely he would have had a large audience at another time when counter-attractions were loss numerous, He would not have had, however. a more appreicative audi- ence than he had. last night at the Auditorium in the presentation of {Charles Rann Kernedy’s play, “The Servant in the House.” The author of..this play has, like the author of tho classics, drawn his les- sons from humble problems of life. ‘Mr. ‘Hampden played tue part of a ‘butler in the ‘play, though his real self as revealed at the close was’that of the Bishop of Benares, who entered the. house of-his;brother as a servant in order that :he-might right'a wrong; end the turmoil: of souls and! point the pathway to an.untroybled,. happy life.
