In the Cleveland Reserve District the totals show an increase of 4.0% and in the Atlanta Reserve District of 9.8%, but in the Richmond Reserve District the totals show a decrease of 1.4%. In the Chicago Reserve District the totals register an improvement of 9.0%, in the St. Louis Reserve District of 9.8% and in the Minneapolis Reserve District of 9.0%.
