Washington. Retail prices appear
to be the sticking" point In the coun-
try's readjustment process, the Fed
eral Reserve BOARD said in a general
review of business and financial con-
ditions for April. Other factors re-
tarding readjustment were said to be
high transportation charges, wages
and coal and steel prices. Increasing
appreciation Of the nature Of the re-
adjustment, process in business circles
and the community at large, however,
the board said, is focusing attention
upon the factors that are delaying busi-
ness recovery and Is promoting discus
sion with a view to removing obstacles
and expediting recovery. Complete
business recovery, the board continued,
has been slower than was predicted at
the close Of the past year. and ex-
pectatlons that this spring would see
economic and business readjustment
fairly completed have not been real
lied.
Nevertheless, 1t added, the month OF
April has given evidence Of an in-
proved feeling developing with regard
to business. While there still Is un-
certainty, the board asserted, as to
when an end Of the readjustment pro-
cess may be expected, and though
business and industry In several sec
tions Of the country still are beset
with difficulties, certain factors Of I'M
certainty are being eliminated or are
of diminishing Importance. Prices, the
review continued, have been the piv-
otal point IN the business situation
since the recession movement began.
The fall in wholesale prices, which
has been continuous, and at time pre-
cipitate, 1t declared appears to be In
process Of arrest, they having shown
greater degree Of stability during
April.
Extreme uneveness In price reduc
tions, however, the board said, Is one
of the striking features in the present
industrial situation. While in mans
important lines Of wholesale trade
pre-war prices exist, In other lines
commodities are being sold at twice
or even more than twice, the 1918
values. The same uneveness exists
the board explained. between raw ma
terials and the finished products In
the same industry.
Raw cotton, the board declared, Is
lower than the 1918 level, and wool Is
about a third higher than before the
World War, but cotton goods are al
least 20 per cent higher than In 1Sls
and woolen cloth is approximately
twice as high as the pre-war level. In
the hide and leather industry the dis
crepancy is even greater, the board
asserted, the present price Of skins
being one-thlrd under pre-war levels
while the price Of shoes is twice a
high as In 1918.

remain as it is on account of its
