In addition to this important factor in the economic situation, the announces that "retail distribution at department stores in larger cities showed a seasonal of 6 per cent in May as compared with the previous month and was 17 per cent higher than a year ago." Since the rains, the Review continues, row crops have improved rapidly and farmers, aided by dry weather, the first half ot June, have made good progress cleaning the fields of weeds and grass. Additional moisture in the near future would be beneficial for sustaining plant growth and maturing feed crops. Small grains, generally, the Review states, were too far advanced to benefit materially from the rains.

Rangers and livestock, also have shown marked improvement. The Department of Agriculture reported the June 1 condition of the ranges tn Texas were the best eince 1932, and that summer and fall grazing virtually is assured. Since the betterment In ranges, livestock have taken on flesh rapidly and now are in generally good condition. Construction Activity. Construction activity, as reflected by the valuation of building permits Issued at principal cities, continued at a higher level than during the preceding five years.

The total for May was four per cent higher than for the previous month, and exceeded that of the corresponding month last year by 111 per cent. The aggregate value of permits issued at these cities the first five months of the current year was 131 per cent larger than in the same period last year. Although the volume of May sales In most reporting lines of wholesale trade, the Review explains in referring to department store gales, reflected a recession slightly larger than the average at this season, business generally was considerably better than a year ago. Commercial failures were fewer than in either the previous month or the same month last year, and there was a sharp decline In the Indebtedness of defaulting firms. Debits to individual accounts at banks in larger cities of the district were maintained at about the April level and were 14 per cent higher than in May, 1935.

Bank Loans. Federal Reserve Bank loans to member after rising steadily from early in March to the end of May, declined during the first half of June and at the middje of the month were lower than a month earlier or a year ago. The investments of reporting member banks In leading cities, were reduced further between May 15 and June 10, and on the latter date were about the game level as a year ago. On the other hand, the Review concludes, their loans to the highest point for the current year on June 10, and exceeded those June 12, 1935, by a substantial margin. Merchants Will Close Saturday Account July 4 Commercial activities in Corsicana will be at a virtual standstill Saturday, July 4, according to all present indications with members of the Corsicana Retail Merchants Association closing for the day, along with the two banks, postof- fice.
