\mm ismmIN THIS BANK DISTRICT

Federal Reserve System Reports SayFrcsperity Retarded Only by

Lack of Cars.

Business conditions are good in thefifth federal reserve district, which includesVirginia, the District of Columbia,Maryland and Delaware, saysthe report of the national bank examinerto the controller of the currency.Prosperity is retarded only bylackof cars and the interference withforeign exports by submarine activities.

National bank examiners of thevarious districts, in their reports tothe controller of the currency, on businessconditions at the beginning ofMarch, declare that American prosperitycontinues its onward march withpractically no depression and with onlya few setbacks, the latter being dueto car shortage and the interruptionto the export trade caused by theGerman submarine activities.

Business at Top SpeedThese reports were made prior to

the call for a strike of the railroadtrainmen. They show, however, thaton March 1 all lines of trade were activeand, American business is goingat top speed, with plenty of confidencein the future. Factories, the wholesalerand retailer are clearing the decksfor a strong and steady How ofbusiness.One remarkable feature of these reportsis the small number of failures.

Five of the twelve districts, those withheadquarters at Philadelphia, Cleveland.Chicago, St. Louis and KansasCity, report no failures. Boston, New !York and Minneapolis report none ofconsequence. The Richmond districtmentions thirteen failures; Dallas.fifty-eight small ones, and San Francisco.several small state banks.

Activity in This District.In the Richmond-Baltimore district,

the bank examiners declare coal, iron

land steel, oil products and food suppliescontinue to show unusual activity. Real

estate, they declare, is somewhat dull,but more building is under constructionthan is usual at this time of the year,Money continues plentiful and collectionsare found to be good. Truck farminghas been somewhat damaged by thecold weather, but general crops are infairly good condition. i

The steel and iron business through-out the whole country is reported tobe the most active of all other linesof trade. The car shortage is said to

be handicapping some lines of trade.
