Net improvement was found by
the board despite the recession of
business activity in December as COM
pared with the same month last yeaf.
"The holiday trade" the board
said, "is test of the soundness of
: preceding business activity. Reports
from the various federal reserve dis
tricts covering over half Of the
month show that this years demand
in the Eastern districts has, register
ed an increase running as high'a as 10
per cent of that of 1920, while in 9TH
,er districts the situation is pronounc-
ed satisfactory" ,e;.2
&: Manufacturing conditions, however
the board reported as far from ;uni-
form, there being a decrease Of ac-
tivity in the iron and steel industry
while textiles showed, little change
from previous, months and ,,uncer-
ta:nty exists as to the future of the
clothing industry, due to labor dis
turbances md the continued demand
of consumers for lower prices.
'Frs9htrates," the board said,
"coatihde asa disturbing factor due
to the belief that reductions already
annsnnsed as affecting some commo-
:ditissshays be much more widely ex-
tended in the near future"
Relatively lower prices for cereals
and cotton, the board continued, had
discouraged trade in the agricultural
districts and also had resulted in re-
starding the process of liquidating
frozen loans. Hardware and related
lines, also were. saidsto be in an un-
satisfactory condition, but wholesale
prices "are showing increased sta
bility." Unemployment: conditions
;. were reported by the board as but
little changed.
"A decided improvement in Euro-
>pean exchanges" the board said,
''has tended to some extent to help
the foreign trade situation during
the month of December but the ex-
treme caution in the extension of
bank credits which was previously so
noticeable phase of our foreign
trade still continued. Export figures
indicate still further decline of ac-
tivity in staples, while imports show
an advance.
disturbed conditions in various
countries Of Europe still render a
maintenance of business relations
with them uncertain and hazardous" "
Reviewing the year.in the shipping
industry the board declared that the
Industry has been through most
difficult period, in which many of
the weaker operators have been fore
ed out of business, and in which
greatly reduced freight rates have re-
suited in smaller available cargoes
and continued high costs Of opera
tions. This condition has been world
wide, although American companies
have felt in special degree the handi-
cap of higher scale of wages than
their foreign competitors have been
