May 5.—A definit improvement in the business situa tion during the past week was re ported this week, by Secretary Rop er on a basis of complications show Ing continued rises in the commo dity markets and improved indue i trial activity. The secretary pointed oui. how ever, that much of the increase ii prices had resulted from a erowin, desire to shift cash and bank de posits into equities. 1 "Tt is only when these goods ar consumed in satisfying som healthy human want,” the seeretar said, "and employment is furnish© , as a result of the necessity of re i placing them that society make ■ progress. | ‘Nevertheless: the improved six tistical position of » number c | , uUUUIIUUlliiCO lido waj lautcu uiviroo fd prices.

Frrtllticr Business Is Better. More than $150,000 has been re ceived by Cleveland county farmers this spring from crop loan agencies !-to aid them in putting out their 1933 crops The federal crop loan bureau at the court, house was closed Satur day and it was learned that almost 1,000 applications for loans were made. Register of Deeds Andy F. Newton, to whom the checks come and with whom mortgages must be filed, said that 814 checks have al ready arrived. These checks will average about *125 each and this means that approximately $81,000 in outside money has come into the county from this source to aid farm ers. John P. Mull, local representative of the Regional Agricultural Credit corporation of Raleigh, states that around $75,000 in loans have been rjiade to county farmers through him, this bringing the total beyond $150,000. Another crop loan agency, located at CheiVyville, has made loans in this county, boosting the total well beyond that figure. As a result of these loans, parti cularly at a time when money was tied up in banks, fertilizer dealers say that business this year was as good or better than last year. Somp say that they sold 10 per cent more fertilizer this year than last, and all say that cash business was con siderably larger. Bank Granted Loan It Did Not Require The Sum Of $100,000 Was Approved To First National But Was Not Nsed. Wednesday's issue of The Star printed a news story from Wash ington on loans granted North Carolina institutions by the Recon struction Finance company, one of which was a loan of $100,000 grant ed to the First National bank. An explanation should have been made of this Washington dispatch as it may not have been clear to some. A loan in this amount wa.; authorized to the First National bank but the money was never got ten for the reason It. was not need ed. On Saturday March 4th, the bank had sufficient money to meet all requirements and the authorized loan was not used. On Monday. May 6th alT banks in the country were closed by the president's pro clamation, Although the loan was authorized as the Washington dis patch said, it was never’gotten and therefore cancelled by the holiday proclamation County Teacher* Get 7th Month’* Pay Check Today Cleveland count v school leachers seen smiling today have more cause for theii happiness than the mere fart that school is out.

AI though the seventh month'* pay has arrived, nothing i; known about the 36 percent held back from the previous , month. The pay for the eighth month is in a local bank and will be available, it was said just as soon as the hank opens. Banks Await News From Washington!
