It was added that seasonal dullness in practically all lines of trade pre- sented material alteration in general business conditions. Copper and zino which were said to suffer from lack of demand and extreme depres- sion of prices were mentioned. espe- cially although the board declared there had been a noticeable improve ment in production of cement and structural steel ,as a result of the growth of building operations.
 Midsummer retail business. the board asserted had been in some re- spects better than susual while the outlook for satisfactory autumn business in a number of lines, such as knit goods and cotton textiles was declaBed to be decidedly encour- aging. Consumers demand as re- fiected in the volume of retail trade continued as good or better than .lasi year.
 Continuing prospects of excellent food crops was declared to be 2 most hopeful feature.
 Price changes have shown no pro- nounced tendencies the board stated Greater stability was manifest ir textile. boot and shoa industries. al though important declines have taken place in other lines such as iron and steel and automobiles. The unemployment situation ha: remained practically unchanged. ac- l cording to the review with labor au. | thorities reporting serious depletion | of savings of those without work, a: well as unemployment funds of la l bor unions.
 Desire to see e resumption of ful
 production. the board said, appar.
 ently has led to operation of soms plants on a non-profit making basis with wage scales reduced or em. ployes working on part time. | Money rates have become easier 1 the review continued but fluctuation | in exchange and unstable foreigl | financial conditions have preventet
 any material improvement in for
 eign trade. Coincident with the fall | ing off in this trade the board added | there has been a reduction in tn proportion of the country's com
