Federal Reserve Sees
:. Business Conditions
Better All Over World
uU N AmXTNyS

v,,4o,-r.AlouaI Ne,vva eervice.

Rapid business recuperation ABROAD
in world markets, where American
producers profit greatly. was noted
today by the Federal Reserve Board.
The board, detailing results Of sur
vey, announced encouraging pros
poets in the business and financial
field.
An upward movement in prices
in practically all leading countries
was observed. But there is no
uniformity in the rates Of advance
nor in the chief factors causing the
movement. In the United States
the board said, increased demand
for goods Is evidenced by declining
stocks, coupled with large volume
Of production. In Germany and
France currency depreciation both
in terms Of commodities and OF
gold. is the chief element In price
advances. In the United Kingdom
prices have advanced more recently
than elsewhere, and this tagging
tendency il a contributing factor in
the rise in value Of the pound
sterling.
American finance and business is
relying most strongly upon the new
evidence of recovery in Great Brit
ain, for it will stimulate recovery
in other tagging countries. just
how fast England has progressed IN
recent months is indicated by fig
ures showing increased output OF
basic commodities, and a larger vol
ume of freight traffic, together with
greater activity In shipping and
values Of exports and imports. Un-
employment, still large in England.
though less than a year ago, is the
only discouraging factor in the Brit
ish business situation, observers re-
ported.
On the European Continent distinct
Improvement is noted along many
lines, but some degree of economic
uncertainty prevails over the French
occupation Of the Ruhr. The Fed
eral Reserve Board said it is too
early to measure the economic ef-
fects Of the Ruhr occupation, or to
state just how far European in.
dustry, especially of Germany and
France. is being directly affected.
One of the chief effects has been
to stimulate French and German
buying of products of the British
coal and steel Industries.
Despite the uncertainty growing
out Of the French occupation of
the Ruhr, business in the principal
countries SOf South America 10 i'm
proving.
