SATURDAY, DEC. 27, 1919 CONSERVATISH IN TRADING MARKED HOLIDAY. BUYING Trade Was Good. But Better Judgment Was Shown in “Purchases Made SEVERE WEATHER HANDIC Grain Late in Reaching minals—Live Stock in Dakotas Suffers POOLS SEES ras, | FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF | MINNEAPOLIS, ' Ninth District | Monthly Report of | Crop and Business Conditions, en While the yolume of holiday throughout the Ninth District has been large, there are evidences of a more conservative tendency on the part of the buyers. usual large throngs of shoppers have’ kept the stores busy, but their purchases have been of a rather more pract: nature than a gyear ago, and the disposi a has been to spend their money more tious] and for articles having a practical use- fulness .and’ value. Current reports trom the outlying portions of the dis- trict indicate the same drift. Custom- ers are inquiring into the intri ¢ vale ue of the articles they purchase, and are exhibiting more conservatism than was apparent two months ago. In view of the repeated warnings of the Federal Reserve Bank and of lead- - ° Ter- K ing financiers, that cogtinued reckless spending can only lead to an unfavor- able result, this tendeucy is encourag- ing and suggests that the crest of the wave of extravagance which has pre- vailed for many months may have been reached. i There is a disposition to look for re conservative buying during the ng year. Trade in the principal lines is giving attention to the condi- tion of stocks and the difficulties that, may face’ merchants in the event of yany appreciable decline in. prices it ; they are caught with darge stocks of ) high priced goods.and a falling mar- ket. ti ‘ Little Fuel Shortage.

During December, the de- mand upon all the banks \was_ heavy and liquidation hardly noticeable: In consequence of the situation, moder- ate advances were made in the dis- count rates of the Federal Reserve }Bank, and the rate situation generally eas stiffened somewhat. | Skilled Labor Lacking. ; A serious shortage of skilled labor ‘is reported by practically all of the industrial centers.

Farm labor is scarce and the short- jage of experienced and capable help is keenly feft in all sections. i The stock situation is unfavorable, because of the early snowfall, severe ‘cold weather, und shortage of feed. )In the Black Hills region, in western North Dakota and throughout Mon- tana, these conditions, together with | the difficulty in obtaining cars for producing heavy losses on the ranges and heavier losses than usual on stock in-transit.
