Monrv Being Deposited. Conditions are on the up-swing in Cleveland county if increased bank deposits and higher prices are an Indication. A survey shows that new de posits amounting to $400,000 have been left in the two local banks and their branches since the banking holiday. This has been done in the face of the fact that the two in stitutions have in addition nearly two million dollars tied up In the old accounts that cannot be used until the banks complete their re organization plans to re-open on an unrestricted basis. When the banks are re-opened, as indications appear they will, this $400,000 deposited to new accounts since the bank holiday, will be add ed to the old accounts with deposi tors permission, thus placing the banks in strong liquid position. Cotton tip $6 Bale A more hopeful and cheerful at titude over the business outlook has been brought about by the increase in the price of commodities the farmers have. Cotton is up $6 a ba 1e since the United States went ofi of the gold standard and inflation of the currency has been talked. One farmer remarked on the street this morning that there are fully] 20,000 bales of cotton yet in the] hands of the farmers of the cnun-; ty, so the increase amounts to $120.-! 000. Quite a few farmers have sold cotton in order to get fertilizer money. Crop planting time is on and with what surplus money the farmers had to buy fertilizer tied up in the banks. they have been; forced to convert their cotton into money. Two farmers were talking on the street yesterday about the advance in cotton. One rejoiced that he had some cotton, but when cotton goes up it adds to land values in the south Fertilizer is up $3 a Lon. Wheat has been jumping in price along with corn and the other cereals. Flour is up from $1 to S1.25 per hundred pounds, corn from 50e to 70c per bushel, oats from 40c to 50c per bushel, meal from 70c to 80c per bushel, eggs from 12 l-2c to 15c per dozen. Cheese remains the same ^al though in some pai rs of the coun try. where beer hais already been legalized, the price of this article is up. Butter on the Chicago and New York market is up from 7c to 9c per pound. In the building lines, practically all materials remain about the same—brick, lumber, lirnft, etc., al though cement has advanced from 52c to 67c per bag within the last few weeks.
