Business in New England
Reported UnfavOrable in March

Business conditions in New England
were unfavorable rather than favor
able in March. according to the month
ly review by the Federal Reserve Bank
Of Boston.
"There have been some significant
changes in the industrial situation in
the last few weeks" says the bank,
new trends, which, if continued, may
mean a considerable slowing down of
business activity, in New England at
least. The leading Industries in this
district are cotton and wooden textiles
and boots and skoes. and they are not
in as good a position as they were a
short time ago. These industries
manufacture goods which quickly feel
the effects Of decreased purchasing by
the ultimate consumer; therefore they
are particularly sensitive to fundamen-
tai changes in the business situation,
upward as we'll as downward.
"On the whole it must be admitted
that business conditions in New Eng
land did not improve during March and
the trend should be watched very
closely"

The floor covering trades appear to
be making steady progress in expand
ing the volume of their business and
in stabilizing prices. At the auction
held by the Alexander Smith g. Sons
Carpet Company here this week ef-
forts to depress prices met with foil
ure in most cases, and buyers for
Wholesale and retail establishments
showed willingness to buy with con-
siderable regularity, in strong contrast
to the lack Of confidence displayed at
the sale in September
During the middle of the week prices
actually showed an advance over those
prevailing when the sale opened, and
buyers who had been holding off for a
break in prices rushed in to cover
their requirements.

Continued liquidation OF May con

were reactions from an opening ad-

tracts subsidized, however. trading became
very quiet and prices steadied in the

May premium over July was reduced to
