BETTER TIMES IN U.S.A.
advance in business. CONFIDENCE STIMULATED NEW YORK, May 21. For the first time since the depression the United States have enjoyed an uninterrupted two months of advances in business and commerce, stimulating cheerfulness and confidence that the domestic and international problems still pending are adjustable. The country’s steel activities are approaching 40 per cent capacity, car loadings continue rising, building operations are increasing, commodities’ wholesale prices rose an average of 12 per cent and individual items like wheat 50 per cent, wool 50 per cent and sugar 20 per cent. Farm commodities’ prices are rising four times faster than non-agricultur-al products, reversing the trend existing for years between the goods the fanner sells and buys. Government figures show a one and three-fifths per cent employment gain in April.
