DALLAS, Texas. April 30^—A more
cheerful feeling pervades the eleventh
federal reserve district n» a result of
copious ii nd widely -distributed Tralnfall
that occurred during the past 30 days
over Southwestern farms and ranges
prior-to April 15, states a monthly
review of business and Industrial con-
ditions Issued by the federaT reserve
hank of Dallas today for the district
In a general summary.
Inestimable benefit to the agricul-
tural and live stock Industries general-
ly Is reported, notwithstanding somo.
flood damage caused by recent rains In
a few localities and delayed plowing
and seeding operations. New life In-
jected Into business generally and
frvsh courage shown by the producer*
have sprung from the continued firm-
ness of the demand for live atock and
the advancing trend of the market for
farm prducts. It Is brought out.
Business activity, reported still qui-
escent, Is underlaid with many ele-.
ments of strength, rich In promise for
the future, the summary's exposition
of financial developments of the month
show. Stronger hands control the
business of the district following the
weeding out of the weaker establish-
ments through the heavy tolls exacted
from the business community by the
numesous failures occurring during
the past winter and spring, it la(
stated.
Outstanding in the issuance of th»
month's statistics. Is the abrupt fall
In the district's business mortality
rate. Failures during the preceding
month had set a new high record with
liabilities amounting to SS.889,143'.
while the March total was only $2,121,-
725. The continued shrinkage In the
district's credit requirements is m*n«
Ifested in a reported further reduction
by member banks of their Indebtedness
to the federal reserve bank of Dallas,
"the total of our outstanding loans
on April IS being only $31^12,000,
which is the smallest amount at dis-
counted paper held by this bank jilne«
the beginning of the post-war period."
This situation. It Is pointed out', In
due in part to seasonal causes *n<l
In part to the conservative policies
which are dominating the use of credit
by business and agriculture,
March sales, retail and wholesale,
rcored seasonal Increases that wero
fully up to expectations, a comment
on trade reports, revealing no extra-
ordinary changes In 'the volume of
distribution, brings to light. An aver-
age gain of 27 per cent In the March
sales of 22 department stores, over
their sales for the month of February,
Indicates to the bank that their pre-
Kaster selling campaign, prosecuted
this year with more than usual vigor,
was productive of satisfactory results.
The resumption of a number of cop-
per mines In the western part of the
district is touched upon optimistically
as is the employment of large forces
In construction and repair work Inci-
dent to preparing other mines for re-
suming production In the near future.
Imparting further Impetus to trade ac-
tivity In the El Paso territory.
Oil production In the district wa» re-
ported to have exceeded all previous
record due to oil producers, encouraged
by prefesnt prices and price tendencies,
pushing drilling activities.
Employment conditions in large cen-
ters are gradually Improving, due prin-
cipally to seasonal factors, and the
steady growth of building activity. It
is noted In a statement bearing wit-
ness to no unusual developments, eith-
er favorable or unfavorable. In labor
conditions. The task of overcoming
the housing shortage In the large cities
la making substantial progress, ac-
cording to conclusions drawn from sta-
tistics In the federal bank's report,
showing a 26 per cent increase In the
valuation of building permits Issued In
March over those of February, and a
gain of 24 per cent over the total for
March, 1921.
Planting of an Increased acreage of
cotton this year Is predicted, based
upon the corroboration of press reports
from many sections of the district, un-
dertaken by the federal reserve bank,
in the nature of a questionnaire sent
to member banks in 200 cotton produc-
ing counties in Texas. Of the 167 coun-
ties heard fnonv up to April 20, 1921,
121 reported there would be an in-
crease in theicotton acreage over last
year's acreage; 22 counties reported
practically noichange; while replies re-
ceived from 24 of the counties were
to the <eftect that the acreage wouM
be somewhat.smaller than last year's.
♦ ♦♦
Replies <\to a questionnaire sent out
by the Dolllas Reserve hank to mem-
ber banks'* In 200 cotton producing
counties lnithe Statie of Texas corro-
borate press reports Indicating that
an increased acreage will be planted to
cotton this »year, the monthly review
of business and industrial conditions
issued by th© Dallas bank states. Of
the 167 counties heard from up to
April 20, Che review continues, 121 re-
ported that there would be an Increase
in the cotton acreage over last year's
acreage; 32 counties reported practi-
cally no c"hange, while replies from
24 counties* were to the effect that
the acreftge "would be somewhat small-
er than lastlyear.
Very little' planting In Texas out-
side of the Hfco Grande Valley, the re-
view states, and It Is not likely that
accurate statistics will t>e available
beforo May 85, In view of the delay
to planting occasioned *>y the recent
heavy rains. IP is altogether possi-
ble, the Dal he report says, that the
loss from weevil and aoandonment
'.might ofTset any increase In the acre-
jage.
The planting of corn has advanced
as far as Southern Oklahoma, the re-
K-iew continues, and while the spring
'rainfall has placed an excellent season
In the soil, low temperatures have re-
tarded germination.
+ + +
Marked expansion in business char-
acterized the retail trade situation In
Texas In the opening month of the
spring season, the monthly review of
business and Industrial conditions by
the Dallas Reserve bank states. Un-
usually cold weather in March tended
to delay seasonable demand for spring
merchandise, the report explains, but
the net sales of 22 department stores
during that month were 27.7 per cent
1 greater than during February.
Stocks at the end or March were
^g.5 per cent larger than at the close
at February, but were 1.7 per cent
strialler than those op hand at the
cl^se of March. 1921. This Indicates,
tto* review says, that tho department
sta res overestimated the pre-Easter
demand.
Sollectlons scored a •small gain dur-
the month, according to the re-
vlffO". The ratio of March collections
to accounts receivable. It says, on th»
first of the month was 87.4 per cent,
as compared with 36.3 per cent durintr
February.
♦ ♦♦
Steady Improvement in live stock
range conditions is shown by the April
reports of observers throughout
Dallas Federal reserve district, accord-
ing to Its monthly review of business
and indtustrial conditions. A large area
of the range country has oeen visited
by drenching rains, it states. and
streams and water holes have been
filled wWtle the early growth of grass
on the ranges has been stimulated.
Heavy shipments of live stock from
Southwestern ranges and pastures fea-
tured the jnonth or March, the review
continues. While improved range con-
ditions In Texaa tended to check the
movement of animals to other States,
a large movement or cattle from the
vicinity of San Aogelo waa reported
and orders for more than 600 cars
were placed to take care of shipments
that were to be made from that point
alone during the first three weeks
of April.
The review- notes that despite the
hsavy recelptfs at Fort Worth, the de-
mand for live stock was sufficient to
lift market values to higher levels than
reached during February. Top prices
Mormons in Mexico
Report Heavy Crops
Houston Post Special.
CHIHUAHUA, Mex., Apipl 30.—A
canning factory at Colonia Dublan,
Mormon settlement on the Mexican
Northwestern railroad, will be built
the coming season, to pack tomatoes,
peaches, pears and apples.
For the first time in two years It is
believed that the fruit crop in the
colonies will not be damaged by late
frost, according to A. C. Gonzalez of
the Union Mercantile and secretary of
the Cludad Juarez chamber of com-
merce.
Under normal conditions large fruit
and vegetable crops are produced on
tho Mormon ranches. Adverse weath-
er and lack of water last year dam-
aged both.
Wheat and alfalfa crops will be har-
vested If there Is no killing frost be-
fore April 22, eays Gonzalez. Wheat
will be harvested in June. This is
one month earlier than usual and was
made possible by an adequate supply
of water for Irrigation.
The colonies had no sufficient water
supply for several years, because
ranchmen south of them had built
Illegally several dams.
A few months ago the Judge of the
court of letters at Casas Grandea ruled
that the Mormons held prior rights
and ordered the "outlaw" dams torn
out. This resulted In the colonists
having plenty of water supply this
season.

Grain Exports at Port
Of Texas City Large
Houston Post Special.
TEXAS CITY, Texas. April 30.—Sta-
tistics compiled by the board of trade
show that exports of corn since the
beginning of the season aggregate
2,720,434 bushels, as against only 103,-
154 bushels shipped out of this port
during the corresponding period last
season.
The movement of rye this season
Included exports of 119,999 bushels as
compared with only 60,000 during the
same time a year ago. On the other
hand, exports of wheat have fallen off.
tho movement since the beginning of
the season totaling only 5,235,333 bush-
els, against 8,533,431 bushels during the
same time last season.
This falling off in the wheat move-
ment reduced the total figures for ex-
ports of corn, rye and wheat to 8,075,-
000 bushels, as against 8,766,585 bush-
els last season, a shrinkage of 680,819
bushels this season.
April exports of wheat included 40,-
000 bushels shipped to Genoa via the
steamship Dora Baltea and 16,000
bushels to Marseilles aboard the same
vessel. The steamship Waxahachie
cleared with 85,715 bushels of corn for
Rotterdam and 85,714 bushels of rye
were shipped to Rotterdam via the
steamship Sagoland.
Unemployment Continues
To Increase in Sweden
Associated Press Report.
STOCKHOLM". — Severe German
competition is causing a continued in-
crease in the number of unemployed
in Sweden. More than half the 25,000
workers ordinarily employed in the
sawmills were out of work on Febru-
ary 1, and so were 55 per cent of those
usually employed in the iron and steel
Industry.
Of the 60,000 registered In the dif-
ferent engineering trades 45 per cent
were unemployed.
German manufacturers are able to
undercut Swedish prices by 30 to 50
per cent, owing to the decline in the
value of the mark.
Seventy per cent of the miners In
coal exporting districts are at work,
but In other sections of the coal re-
gions only 34 per cent are employed.
Among fortunate industries are the
paper manufacturers, who employ 65
per cent of their staffs, and the textile
trades, with 89 per cent.
First Afghanistan Envoy
To England Begins Duties
Associated Press Report.
LONDON.—The first diplomatic en-
voy of Afghanistan to Great Britain,
Sirdar Abdul Hadi Khan, has taken
up his quarters In London. He is only
30, and the youngest member of the
diplomatic corps, a distinction pre-
viously held by Dr. Wellington Koo
of China.
The minister and his staff wear
English clothes and look more like
Spaniards than representatives of a
hermit kingdom of Asia.
Sirdar Abdul told an interviewer
that three newspapers were now pub-
lished in Afghanistan, all evening
papers, and that there were also about
a dozen weekly newspapers and maga-
zines.
The following interesting discussion
of general business conditions is taken
from the April bulletin of the National
City bank of New York:
"The general feeling in business cir-
cles is one of strengthening confidence
that the corner has been turned and
that 1922 will be a better year than
1921. The improvement in funda-
mental conditions and in general feel-
ing since the first of the year has
been very marked; indeed, from the
middle of January to the first of March
optimism was perhaps over-pro-
nounced, and a moderate reaction in
some lines has naturally resulted.
"The stock market, which is prompt
to reflect and even anticipate changes
in fundamental conditions, has been
creeping upward for the last six
months in a slow but persistent move-
ment which suggests faith that better
days are coming.
"Railroad traffic, as indicated by the
reports of car loading since the first
of the year, have been running ahead
of last year, although January gross
earnings were about 16 per cent be-
low those of the same month of 1921.
On the other hand, the net earnings of
199 roads were $57,421,605 in January,
against $28,331,956 in January, 1921,
which reflects the reduction in oper-
ating expenses. Increased loadings
are not reflected in increased revenues
until several weeks later, because
freight charges are collected upon the
delivery of goods. The progressive
gain in loadings is shown by the In-
crease of 8 per cent in February and
approximately double that in March,
in each case over the corresponding
month of last year.
"Although exports in January and
February showed heavy declines from
the corresponding months of last year,
the drop waa in prices rather than in
quantities, and within the last month
a decided improvement in the number
of inquiries and in actual business ha.=?
been reported. The rise of the for-
eign exchanges has had a noticeably
beneficial effect.
"Trading in all lines*is on a short
order basis. Foreign buyers wish to
avoid the risks of exchange fluctu-
ations so far as possible, and in the
domestic trade there is a pros'pect that
in some lines, particularly clothing and
textiles, prices may be lower. There is
general agreement, however, that both
at home and abroad stocks have been
worked down to the minimum and
that there must be constant buying to
meet the demands for current con-
sumption. This is one respect in
which the situation is decidedly more
favorable than it was in the latter
part of 1920 and throughout most of
1921.
"The steel industry has made a
marked recovery, the United States
Steel corporation now operating at
about 70 per cent of capacity and the
independent companies in the aggre-
gate at probably 60 per cent. When
it is considered that productive ca-
pacity has increased about 50 per cent
since before the war, it will be seen
that this is far from a state of stag-
nation. Prices stiffened in several
lines of steel products, and Judge Gary,
answering an inquiry as to the policy
of the corporation, has stated that it
was disposed to follow the lead or
the independents in making prices.
The computation of average prices
upon 14 leading iron and steel prod-
ucts by the Iron Trade Review shows
a composite for the last week in March
of $33.36, compared with $32.80 last
week, $32.87 two weeks ago, $32.86 for
all February, $33.45 for January and
$27.93 for March, 1913.
"The revival of the demand for iron
and steel may be due in some degree
to misgivings on the part of the public
that the steel strike may interfere with
production, but it is indirectly due in
part to the extensive equipment or-
ders that have been given by the rail-
roads, who have ordered more cars in
the last three months than in all of
last year. The implement industry,
although still far from normal. Is
much better than at this time last
year, and that Is the case also with
the automobile industry, and even
more so with the building industry.
The figures for the latter are quite
remarkable, permits in 161 cities ag-
gregating $132,909,000 in February last,
against $50,433,167 in February, 1921."
ACREAGE REPORT
FROM 155 TEXAS
COUNTIES COMPILED
Agriculture Department to
Issue Complete Bulletin
June 1 5
Houston Post Special.
AUSTIN, Texas, April 30—The State
department of agriculture has issued
an estimate of the acreage planted in
principal farm crops for 1922 as com-
pared with acreage in 1921. This es-
timate is compiled from reports re-
ceived from 155 counties, and there
were from one to 14 reports from each
county. This report is incomplete, as
many correspondents indicated that
the planting of some crops was not
advanced sufficiently to give accurate
information. A complete report of the
acreage of the principal farm crops
will be given out by the department
June 15.
More than 1400 cars of tomatoes
were shipped last season, and with
the increased acreage this year, the
shipments will be materiallly increased
with a probable yield of 1500 to 1800
cars.
Peach Acreage Same.
Some of the fruit and vegetable
crops grown in different sections of
the State are not mentioned because
the reports are too meager. The acre-
age of peaches is about the same aT
last year, but the yield will be small,
as a result of the March freeze.
The cabbage crop of the Lower Tti.,
Grande Valley has been harvests!
and the yield was 33S0 cars, as com-
pared with 1507 cars last season. Tlv>
acreage of onions seems to be slight-
ly increased, but the yield per ac
will be less, as a result of the Marc!
freeze and other causes. Two thou,
and four hundred and seventeen cur,
of onions have been shipped from in-
state up to April ,22, against 1549 u;
to the same date last year. The tot?;
yield Is estimated to be between XV :
and 4000 cars.
The wheat acreage is shown to ).
80 per cent of last season, hurt thi
represents the total planted and xni:
no allowance for that which fatled t.o
come up for lack of rain, bad star, Is.
etc. The actual condition of whMtt
and the approximate yield is probably
not more than 65 per cent of last
year's crop.
Acreage Report.
The greatest increase in cottcfn acre-
age seems to be in the extreme South-
western part of the State, and in the
central western parts, and a slight
decrease is shown in the eastern and
southern parts of the State.

ment;
