PRICES GOING HIeHER.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. - Despite peace prospects, f'prices generally throughout the United States are showing a tendency toward a further upward movement" according to the federal reserve boards monthly re- view today of business conditions as reported by agents in each federal re- serve district Increases are particu- larly noticeable in commodity lines not affected by the governments price fixing program.
 Many manufacturing and other producers are reported following a conservative course by keeping only small stcks on hand in preparation for new business conditions after the war.
 Rising prices and credit imitation, the beard says. must be opposed by strictly personal economy. Despite war economy propaganda, it appears, says the board, that many classes of the population are still spending their current incomes as freely as ever. not withstonding the fact that prices to- day are at a record figure because they have not yet embraced the na- tional duty to save as a personal Ob- ligation.'
