general trend of recession during
the past month. according to the Fed

A commercial revival. on the. other
hand, was reported in several Euro
pean countries.
Steel. textile, automobile and nom
ferrous metal industries of the United
states entered July with decreased
employment, il was said, while rail-
road shipments. running Is per cent
below the volume of a year ago. and
sales in distributing channels of the
retail and wholesale trades alike
dropped off. accompanying declines
were noted in wholesale price levels
and in the volume of commercial
loans extended by banks.
The redeeming condition in the line
OF agricultural production was noted
chiefly in the cereal-growing regions,
although cotton was said to be
promising a fair sized crop at prices
somewhat above Spring levels.
try and bad weather in scattered
tobacco growing sections were ad-

Business activity abroad has
Sharpened, the review stated. under
the encouragement of better national

Economic conditions in Europe
during the first half of 1924 have been
characterized by an increase in in

growth in domestic and foreign trade
and in many countries by smaller
fluctuations in prices and exchange
rates. Countries whose currencieS
deprecated violently in 1922 and 1928
have since adopted financial reforms
resulting during the year in greater
stability, and in consequence business
in those countries was no longer
under the constant necessity of ad-
justlng itself TO wide uncertainties in
monetary values, and was conducted
more directly with reference to gem
eral economic developments.
Unemployment Cut Down.
Beginning with the latter part of
1923 and continuing until May of this
year, unemployment through a large
part of Europe has diminished, pro-
duction in basic industries has in
creased. and in contrast TO preceding
years the time and character of
change in the business situation in
the different countries has shown a
considerable degree of uniformity.
More recently there have been indica-
tions of slackening in production and
trade. but for the first half year, as a
whole, business has been more active
than for corresponding periods in

TO large measure this has been due to advertising
