.7O ItELIBF FROM 1I1011 COST OF LIVING .Further Increases In Many Lines In Month of July Noted In Board's Ite. ' port. Agricultural Outlook Reported Favorable. Washington, Aug. 1.-No relief from -Present high prices is forecast in the federal reserve board's monthly re view-of business eqnditions, issued to 4day which notes that July saw further increases in many lines. "In general," the review said, "there is a disposition to accept present.price -levels and to expect a continuation of the prevailing levol for some time to -come." In many districts high prices have *not served to check demand, but the )ossibliity of obtaining goods was found to be of greater moment to the .buyor *than the price fixed. On the *other hand, the boa'rd said, tho "very -great" price increases which have taken place in certain lines have made buyers more caatious, care being tak -en not to increase unduly stocks ac -quired at the present price level, for .,ear a decline might occur. ,s Ontinued high .prices, along with .%constant growth in trasde, both whole -sale and retail and increased activity in some of the basic industries, sus tained confidence in the 'industrial situation has led to expansion in many lines. Almost the only complaints !eard concern shortage of raw ma .teriAls, and in a few districts, labor - Itroubles, although 'a majority of the : districts report normal labor condi * tions. "Instead of a fear of unemploymen1, vhich had been expressed during the -early part of the year," the boardsaid, * "the reports received manifest the tear of an impending shortage of la .bor." The exodus of allen workers -.was blamed in part. The agricultural outlook on the wholo was reported favorable, with indications that the cotton crop would .bo much shorter than previous Ay indicated. Manufacturing contin ARMY GOODS FOR SALE U.

Green vllii- e~mn . re....m.tn ues active, marked advances in prices having occurred in cotton goods, with mtny mills oversold. Export orders were said to be large. Raw wool still is in heavy demand and revival in building has ocntinued. Turning to the financial -situation, the board declared that while specu lation continued at an unprecedented ly high level, an investment demand for stocks has revealed itself, leading to the withdrawal of an unusual amount of shares from the market. The banking situation was reported sound, credit and collection con ditions good and failures small and few. Conditions by districts: Boston: "There is a)parently no abatement in the general industrial activity in the New England dis trlct. The eaw material market and the labor unrest have made the prob lem 'which our manufacturers face in creasingly dillicult." New York: "Commercial activity which commonly reaches its climax in May has been continued into the early summeri and a favorable out look is noted." Richmond: "The rising tide of activity in all lines and confidence in the general stability of business may bo regarded as "re-established." Atlanta: "Practically all lines of business increasingly active, although the agricultural outlpok, especially as regards cotton, is not as encourag Ing as a month ago." Chicago: "While merellandising and manu fact uring are active, there has developed a rather lecid'd, feeling of labor unrest, especially in Chicago." St. Louis: "The business situation continues excellent; wholesalers and retallers in most lines are doing an active, in some cases a record busi ness." Kansas City: "Business and Indus trial activity which prevailed in the month of .tine is extended through July and there Is no indication of a slowing doown of this activity for many wevk.s or months to come." 1Dallas: "There has been practically no suimnler dullness in trade and fi nancial circles this year; this unusual condition h ig attributable largely to the jetroleun ii(istry, whieh has ex erted a very favorable inihluenee on trade." .San Franeleo: "July estimates of agriculitural production tire slightly belo-;- Jutie figui'es, while industrial a;-:y is incrieasing." * LANFORI) NESV. * Lanford, Aug. .---Tho series of meetings at the Methodist church con ducted by W.

Washington, July 31.-Tronah- pot ash came up for a hearing today be fore Vance McCormick, chairman of the war industries board. Mr. Mc Cormick reserved his decision, but ap peared very much impressed 'with the argument of Senator H. D. Smith and of Senator Freylinghuysen, of Now Jersey, both of whom advocated lift ing the embargo so that potash from Alsace and from Germany might be shipped into this country. Attorneys and o~'Icers of the com bination of companies manufacturing domestic potash appeared and pre sented their case strongly. They stat ed tlia.t they hdd thien induced to put $50,000,000 into the nanufaciture be cause there was no potasi available when we went to war with Oerifany. They asked for the .embargo to be kept in force for at least thrce months longer. Potato growers from Maine and New Jersby were present in number to protest against American potash having a monopoly. They said that they were compelled to have the hn ported Potash, and that many potato growers had retired from business because they could not get the proper kind of salts. Senator Smith iresented photo graphs made by the South Carolina department of agriculture to show how tobacco ind cottn felds had been ruined by tho application of tronah potash. le argued that all of tho product of the domestic plants plus the amount that could be shipped into the country would not he enough to sulpply the farmers of the south, whose lands are greatly in need of potash. Ile thought the needs of hundreds of thousands of farmers should be considered before the com plaints of the mnanufasturers. Sulhlivan Reuniioni.
