Curtiss, chairman of the Federal Re- serve bank of Boston, said yesterday in a review of industrial and financial conditions throughout this section. Hopeful Factors The review declared that the fact that business has not had a serlous setback because of the rail and coal strikes was one of the most hope- ful factors in the present business situation. “Industrial output in some lines has suffered,” the survey said, ‘due largely to a shortage of coal, but the volume of sales and commodity| prices has decreased but slightly; In some cases sales have increased. This certainly speaks well for the prospects for the immediate future.” It will be some time, the report continued, before the adverse effects of the railroad shopmen's strike can be overcome Not Many Cars, “There was a very small surplus of | serviceable freight cars on the New| England railroads in the middle of August, and, in view of the fact thai| carloadings normally increase during September and October, there appar- ently will b non too many cars for those industries in which it has been good for the past few months and to make it poorer in the others. Where businss has been active, the tendency lately has been to place orders with two or three competing firms in hope {that one of the firms will not be held up by the coal strike or their goods delayed by inadequate transportation facilities, but will get through in time for use. This has been clearly evi- dent in a number of industries. An Average Rate. “There has been so little general increases In the volume of production and trade in New England during the past few months that it has made some think that the improvement in New England 1Is not keeping pace with that in the rest of the country. This may be true at the moment, but it should be remembered the major part of the recovering in the output of the leading industries of this district has already been made. ‘At the present time the average rate of manufacturing activity in this district is not far below normal, and the volume of trade is good. are poor and this has caused some ta lose sight of the relative volume of business. DBusiness men are generally optimistic, although many of them have postponed the date at they look for the complete return to so-called prosperity. With the pass- ing of the period of summer dullness and the coming of relief from the menace of curtailed production due to the coal and railroad strikes, the outlook for fall is encouraging.” BRITAIN SCRAPS SHIPS.
