With commodity distri- bution in relatively large volume siocks of commodities have continued be at a comparatively constant level ‘ommercial demand for bank credit has recently increased. but the vol ume of loans for industrial and com mercial purposes is still below that of the opening of the vear. A large growth in the volume of loans on securities, however, has carried the total of loans and investments to a higher level than at any previous time. Conditions in the money market in recent months have been firmer than earlier in the vear, and money rates have remained considerably above the exceptionally low level of last year.” Wholesale Prices Higher. The hoard went on 1o say that in July alona wholesale prices were ahout 9 per cent higher on the average than last Summer and called attention to the steady advance beginning fn June and continuing in August. While the wholesale price level now is just about the same as the peak of 1923, it never- theless was regarded as showing im- proved conditions. since there had heen a readiustment hetween prices of different groups of commodities 1t was cited, for example, that prices of non-agricultural commodities, which in 1923 were considerably above the general average, had declined. while the price range of agricultural prod. ucts had increased by approximately 16 per cent since the 1923 peak. t appears, therefore.” the review continued, “that the recent price ad vance, as well as the relatively high level, reflects chiefly an increase in the price of foodstuffs and other agricul- tural commodities rather than a gen- eral rise in the prices of all groups of commodities. Both the general course of prices and the rise in the price of foodstuffs in the United States has been paralleled by similar move ments in the principal Buropean coun tries.” Genel The by Brings Increased Production. The upturn in prices, the hoard ob- served, naturally brought on an in crease in production in practically all industrial establishments.
