Outlook Beyond Immediate Future Re-

Chicago, Jan. 26.--The general volume
at business in tho Middle West continues
ssl a high level and building operations
and other activities will be sufficient to
sustain the movement for the immediate

The report states, however, that, de-
spite this general show Of prosperity,
business is in peculiar pocket"

rays against high prices, society women
engineering film propaganda and quasi
boycotts against this or that commodity

themselves To refrain from buying until
concessions are made. On the other
hand there is the obstinate fact that de-
mand for commodities outruns any pcs
sbihty Of supply-that production is
low in volume because labor is inefii cient
and because raw materials are available
IN quantities much below necessary re-
quirements These factors, combined
with car shortage, motive power fam
inc, inadequate transportation facill-
tlns and strike rumors. constitute total
II risk elements against which the aver
age business man breads to pit his
capital
Growing all Of the difficulties, says
the report, is the foreign exchange situ-
alton, which Is declared TO be the NEST
