BuslNEss or o. 5. BErrER
Statement Issued by Federal Reserve
Board Is TO Effect That Con-
ditioas Are Improved.

Washington, Jan. 2.---Continued
upward movement Of business and the
gradual restoration of normal c6ndi-
tions are indicated in the comparison
of reports of the last month with
those Of the corresponding month Of
1920, according to the December re-
view Of the economic situation issued
tonight by the federal reserve board.
Net improvement was found despite
the recession of business activity in
December, as compared with the same
month last year.
"The holiday trade" the board said
sis test of the soundness of preced-
ing business activity. Reports from
the various federal reserve districts
for over half the month show this
years demand In the eastern district
has registered an increase running as
high as 10 per cent over that Of 1920,
while in other districts the situation
is decreased as satisfactory"
Manufacturing conditions the board
eeported as far from uniform, there
being a decrease of activity in iron
and steel, while textiles showed little
change from previous months and un-
certainty egists as to the future Of
the clothing, industry, due to- labor
disturbances and the continued de-
mand Of consumers for lower prices.
"F,aight rares," the board said,
"continue as disturbing factor due
to the belief ttiat reductions already
affecting some commodities may be
much more widely extended in the
near futare."
Relatively lower prices for cereals
and cotton, the baard continues, had
discouraged trade in agricultural dis
tricts. Hardware and related lines
were also said to b4 in an unsatis-
factory condition, but Wholesale
prices are showing Increased stability
Unemployment conditions are re-
ported by THE board as tIt little
changed.
