When back orders Of these indus
tries are ,1lled, the economists said,
production will be decreased unless
there Is new wave Of buying"
This wave was termed unlikely, be-
cause buying seems to be returning
more to 4 current needs basis"
Other factors indicating a slowing
down OF the general business pace
were said to include the "unsettling
influences" Of strikes. the small volume
Of new capital financing and rela-
lively little building activity.
Construction Costs Up.
The latter, the economists said, was
apparently a result Of the sharp in
crease in construction costs"
Despite these tangible evidences

ness activity before Winter" the re-
port said. 'the general impetus Of
recovery should carry industry through
