Little General Relief Seen by
Federal Board
ANALYSIS OF MAY BUSINESS
Only A Slight Increase In Production
And No Greater Disposition On
The Part Of The Public To
Economize And Invest.

Wash1ngton.-Despite recent reduc
tons in prices, little relief from
the general reign Of high prices is
seen by the Federal Reserve Board in
Its analysis Of May business condi-
tions. The board expressed the view
that there has been no change in the
underlying conditions responsible for
the high cost Of living.
Asserting that while store sales"
and a tendency to lower prices bears
witness to the presence of disturbing
factors" which suggest the advent
Of wide alteration in price levels, the
board declared it cannot accept the
situation as a whole for It's face value.
The explanation is added that there
has been only slight increase in pro-
duction and there is no greater dis
position on the part Of the general
public to economic and invest than
had ruled heretofore.
"The changes that have taken place,
therefore," the boards analysis says,
cannot be looked upon as indicating
a modification Of underlying condi-
tions. They may, however, afford a
basis for changes in business relation
ships that may broaden into more far
reaching alteration Of the essential
price structure"
Business in every section Of the
country has suffered considerably
from the freight jam which has pre-
vented normal movement Of products
to markets. Effects Of the tieup are
noticed in the agricultural districts as
much as the industrial areas, and
that farmers are not the smallest
class which has sought more bank
help in the way Of credit as result.
Results Of the boards action in the |
direction Of restricted loans already |
have begun to be evident, according
to reports Of the various reserve
banks. In addition to general re.
duction in the value as well as vol
ume Of securities traded In the fnan-
