BUSINESS OVER
NATION TAKES
UPWARD TREND
Federal Report for May
Forecasts Era of Pros
perity Near.

Washington, May "a notice
able upward trend in business dur
ing May, especially in those lines
related to the leading retail trades
which have felt the release of buy
ing power held back by the war,
was reported today by the federal
reserve board. Practically uniform
reports from federal reserve agents
were said to point to a summer and
autumn of unusual activity.
A warning was added. however,
against accepting the prospective
prosperity at its face value until
conditions become more clarified.
THE country seems to be pass
ing through a period of free eX-
penditureS or, reaction from the en-
forced economy and business re-
strictions of the war" a statement
by the board said. IF the present
activity should prove to be based
principally on these causes, a re-
action may be looked for when
these forces have spent them
selves"
No Drop in Prices. E.
The price and reconstruction sit
uation was said to be practically a
continuation of that already noted
in April with prices showing no
tendency to decrease. One of the
federal reserve banks found that
"the public is slowly adjusting It
self to the conviction that there Is
to be no rapid postwar drop IN
prices and is reconciling itself to
the probability that the pre-war
prices may never again be reached" ="
Agriculturally, the remarkable
promise of the early spring appears
to be sustained in an unusual de-
gree, the statement said. Diversl-
fication due to organized effort is
making progress and the cash re-
turns to farmers are expected to be
more than ever before. Prices of
cattle are considerably higher than
a year ago, while sheep are lower.
Receipts of hogs have been smaller.
with the price continuing to ad
vance.
Retail Trade Booming.
Retail trade is assuming unpre-
cedented volume, while prices con-
tinue abnormally high Retailers in
most sections had made little or no
adjustment, but continue TO demand
prices based on war conditions, the
board said. In New York large es-
tablishments report business two
thirds greater than a year ago and
II Chicago returns range from p
to so per cent in excess of 1918. In
the south there is said to be mo
contraction in the public buying
power" while greater proportion
of cash sales is reported.
In building there has been a dis
tinct revival. Real estate values
were said to be hardening with
sales of farm lands on the increase.
