In the Cleveland Reserve District the totals show an improvement of 2.9%, in the Richmond Reserve District of 7.5% and in the Atlanta Reserve District of 18.9%, In the Chicago Reserve District there is a gain of '3.6%; in the St. Louis Reserve District of 4.9% and in the Minneapolis Reserve District of 10.7%.
