Gain in Production,
Rising Retail Sales
Indicated for Week
By T. E. AppIeeote
Associated Press Rusinass Wrifar

NEW YORK, Mar. 2S.-Busi-
ness indicators pointed at high
levels this week with volume of
production and retail trade on
the rise.
The flow Of price increases in
newly freed markets continued,
with a major exception: Chrys-
Ter Corp. cut retail prices of its
automobiles about 500 q car.
Confidence in the outlook for
the months ahead was pretty
general. bolstered by estimates of
high income and projected
spending.
Caution Again Urged
But voices Of caution also were
raised. These were based on
doubts as to-:
Consumer markets-How long
can we continue to buy all the
articles being produced at near
record rates? -
Price stability - Will new
higher prices hold up in a period
Of sharp competition?
Business spending - In a
Tightening money market. will
capital outlays for new plant and
equipment hit the predicted rec
ord level of $27 billion this year?
That figure was the estimate
given by the Commerce Depart
ment after survey of business
men. The increase over last
years $26.5 billion is accounted
for by public utility spending
plans and by non-durable goods
producers. And the department
pointed out. Of course, that the
