the Board. 1t provides that the three

Three bills were given their final
readings in the Senate last Wednes-

uneasiness have been manifested in
some quarters over the slackening OF
orders and price reactions. but the
general situation is very unlike what
1t was in 1920. The state OF activity
has not lasted long enough to load the
country up with goods; buying has
been from hand to mouth so long that
dealers have little to go on. This is
true not only of finished goods but of
raw materials. The price advances
that have taken place since the bottom
of the depression was touched have in
large part represented natural recov-

cessive stimulation were visible in the
early spring buying, there has been no
