BUSINESS IS SOUND
DESPITE SETBACKS,
BANK REVIEW SAYS
Prospects Pro-
vide Encouraging Outlook,
Says Report of Federal Re-
serve Bank-Crops Good

Despite nationwide strike and
other difficulties, the general bust
| ness situation during the month Of
August has been featured by an in
| herent soundness, according to the
monthly Business Review issued by
the Federal Reserve Bank of At
| lanta.
Throughout the country, says the
| review, the excellent agricultural
prospects provide an encouraging
outlook for the fall trade. Manufac-
turing activity in general, it says,
has been maintained at high level,
and the labor situation is showing
considerable improvement.
In the Sixth reserve district, the
report asserts that the strike situa-
ton has been the principal factor af-
fecting business and industry during
the month. Agricultural crops, as a
general thing, are reported to be
good, Building activity is reported as
| continuing at lively gait, and labor
conditions throughout the district
are described as improving steadily.
Touching on the retail trade situa-
ton, the review says that condi-
tons are as satisfactory as could be
| expected at this time of the year.
u. S.. Summary
| Under the heading, United States
Summary" the review says:
1.-THE outstanding feature Of the
| month has been the inherent sound
| ness which the general business sit.
uation has manifested in the face of
| the difficulties encountered. This
! has been shown by the continuance
of activity at a relatively high level
| despite labor disturbances and des-
| pite the recession of activity normal
| ly expected at this season of the
year. Prices of important comnnod-
| tiles continued their upward tend
ency during July but during August
conflicting tendencies were apparent.
'The excellent agricultural pros
poets provide an encouraging outlook
for the fall trade. Furthermore, in
crease of demand for certain COM
modi;ies to compensate for restricted
output or delay in placing orders is
also in prospect. Even so, bust
ness must necessarily proceed under
hapdicaps for some time to come,
as a result of fael shortage and
transportation difficulties.
Manufacturing activity in gen.
eral has been maintained at high
level. In those industries, such as
automobiles and building construc-
ton, in which seasonal recession is
shown, activity is still far in excess
of year ago. Cotton manufactur-
ing likewise shows some decrease,
but the reverse is true of wooden
manufacturing The output Of nom
ferrous metals other than copper has
also increased. but iron and steel
activity shows some decline. Btu
minous coal production has increased
steadily during the present month.
'"The labor situation showed con-
siderable Improvement during Au-
gust. The bitumiuors' coal strike has
been settled in many fields and the
majority Of the New England cotton

FOOTBALL IN GREAT BRITAIN
Cricket No Longer Holds Its Position
as National Sport in John
Bulls Island.

While cricket retains millions of
enthusiastic devOtees in England, it
cannot longer hold its position as the
national sport of John Bulls island.
Football has usurped that rank, and
the football association, the big gov
erning body, now has a membership
in the neighborhood of 100000.
Baseball crowds in America are
staid and conservative as compared
with the crowds that attend British
football events. At one Of these CON
tests as many as 100000 have assem-
hled. The admission fee is usually
sixpence, about twelve cents. for
standing room, so that the receipts
are in no way comparable to those of
baseball or football games on this side.
There are nearly fifteen thousand
clubs affiliated with the football asso-
citation, about five hundred Of these
being professional organizations.
