Ofice open land it is understood that the men | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGT D. ., MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1921. ness has continued. This has been aided considerably by seasonal de- mand for certain products. Com- modity prices are showing a decided inclination to move upward, Credit conditions are practically normal. Stocks in the hands of retallers and manufacturers are generallyt very ow. Unemployment is gradually decreas- ing. Business, while improving in volume, is subject to closely competi- tive conditions and few merchants gr manufacturers are doing much mote than getting a new dollar for an old one. Plans have been completed in Maine for moving the potato crop of that state to market in spite of any de- velopments in the railroad strike sit A Good Investment Not only because the first cost i low, but also because it includes complete equspment and assures com- fort with economy and depend- ability every day it is on the road.

SIMPSON. Speciul Dispatch to The Star. SAN FRANCISCO, October 24.— Financlal reports, the increase in real estate loans &nd other indica- tions point to further improvement in business conditions in this djstrict in domestic trade, but the weakness of steamship charters showsa further decline in the amount of foreign busi- ness. Financlers are discounting the dan- ger of a possible railroad strike to this section as a whole. Unquestion- ably the threat of a tie-up of the transportation lines is giving cause for anxiety to those who depend on the east and middle west for their markets. As a result of this anxiety some !hlpmenln have been hurried and some have been held up. The announcement of a program of building by the state, which will en- t the expediture of more than $6.,000,000 during the winter and com- ing spring in all parts of the state, has brought about a much better feeling with regard to the unemploy- ment situation. Private bullding shows some slight improvement, but is spotty in the extreme. The crop season {8 waning and except for ship- ment of a few pears, apples, beans and rice, the bulk of the crops has gone to market. Heaviest Buying Southwest Since the Summer of 1920 BY JAMES R. RECORD, Special Dispatch to The Star. FORT WORTH, Tex., October 24— Reports from wholesalers throughout the southwest for the last week indi- cate the heaviest buying period since the summer of 1920. This Increase is ascribed both to the approach of the season of holiday trade and to the railroad” strike threat. Dry goods, furniture, building aterfals and hardware shared equally well in tnis trading, according to dealers. Prices have reached a point at which pur- chases are stimulated. The start of the rallroad strike by the walkout of the International and Great Northern employes from th Mexican border to Fort Werth ha no outward effect on business. . Pas- s nger traffic is being maintained, and although freight traffic has been interrupted, rallroad officials assure the public it will be resumed with volunteer trainmen. The last week saw one bank failure in the southwest. The National Bank of Cleburne was forced to close its doors because of the sudden drop !n peanut prices and heavy withdrawals of deposits. The bank had iinanced extensive peanut operations. Thirty thousand heads of cattle were sold by Panhandle ranchmen during the month ending last Wednes- day. Yearlings and two-year-alds were in demand. This number is near the normal month’s turnover for this time of vear, but prices still are far under those paid in 1920.
