Bank Report notes September gains and price cuts impact
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas reports a pleasing rise in bank clearings, building permits, and post office receipts for September in the Eleventh District. The price cutting sweep reduced wholesale activity in dry goods and groceries, though trade and retail collections improved. Cotton market decline depressed the cotton industry while northern belt prospects show higher 1920 crop grading. Oil production fell in Texas and North Louisiana, with overall district oil output down from August. Corn harvests progress well in Texas, while New Mexico and Arizona face frost risks and rain effects. Ranges and livestock conditions mostly favorable, aiding winter readiness. Rail freight movement improved with systematic efforts to load cars promptly, aiding wheat movement. Postmaster Armistead notes gains in receipts and predicts further improvement in November, despite election disturbances and cotton-price pressures. October clearings rise following September, with a reported drop in October total."
