The volume of business transacted in this Federal Reserve District dur- ing March as compared with a year ago was practically unchanged as to the physical quantities handled and one-fourth greater in_ money value, the report states. There is definite evidence that the move- ments of commodities of all kinds to the northwest increased, while the movement of produce to market declined. Rural communities exhi-; bited much greater buying power! in March than a year ago. In the large cities, the gain was more mod-! erate, There were declines in physical volume as compared with a year ago| consisting of: a small reduction in| tota! carloadings, a decline in the total receipts of all grains at ter- minals, a decrease in flour produc- tion, the smallest flour shipments from Minneapolis since July, 1917, a! decline in the shipments of building materiel into country districts, small- ez forest product shipments, and lin- seed product shipments not main-} taining all of the gains heretofore shown as compared with the pre- ceding year. There were offsetting increases in physical volume shown in: larger shipments of agricultural implements, vehicles, autos, trucks, tires, furniture, coal, coke and less- than-cxrload lot and miscellaneous freight. Wholesale trade exhibited substantial gains, except for hard- ware. Liyestock _— receipts were about the same as a year ago. The gain in money value as com- pared with o year ago is due prim- arily tothe much higher level of the prices of agricultural products, al- though this gain has been aided by a trebling of the activity in grain futures at Minneapolis, the repay- ment of a substantial amount of so- called commercial paper, a small in- crease in sales by city retail stores, and much larger sales at retail lum oer yards. All of the * seventeen cities reporting individual debits at banks exhibited gains over a year ago in the money value of business, except Superior and Helena. Having regard to physical volume, e f business days in the month of « March than in .February, it appears that March in the main did not show much etter volume than Fébruary. The physical volume decreased due principally to an unusual decline in| grain reéeipts, which normally show an increase. On the contrary, sale#! of lumber at retail yards increased. Livestock receipts, retail trade and wholesale trade exhibited the cus- districts showed a greater increase . in retail sales as compared with Feb- ruary than the larger cities. Part | of busine: due to income tax payments and government financing occurring on| March 15. | Mixed trends were shown in the! prices of agricultural products inj March as compared with February. The prices of the graih dropped sharply, the declines for the month in medi cash prices being greatest | for rye, corn and wheat. The more, important kin of livestock vanced in price, notably in the case of hogs. Banking conditions exhibited no material change during the month’ of March or early part of April, ex- cept that in country banks there have been small withdrawals of de- posits, reductions in reserves of idle funds, decreases in borrowings at city banks and increases in security holdings. Commercial paper out- standing in this district declined, a small increase at this in. re was no significant change in the total volume of discounts of this Federal Reserve Bank, and its Federal Re ad- | sevye notes in circulation and: mem ber bagk reserve deposits both reg- istered sJight declines. Interest . rates were «ubstantially unchanged. Savings deposits» increased. ‘ Prospective. building activity in eighteen cities, as shown by the per- mits issued in March was greater in (Continued on page three) ' | Mr. Beck is planning a trip to Europe complished at the ‘earliest possible moment.
