TRADE REPORT Country Passing Through Period of Free Expenditure Says Federal Board. CBt Aaoltd Prau) WASHINGTON. May 29. A noUceaUejUpward trend in business during May; especially In those lines related to the leading retail trades which have felt the release of buying power held back by the war. was reported today by the federal reserve board Practically uniform reports from federal reserve agents were said to point to b summer and autumn ol unusual activity. A warning was added, however, .gainst accepting the prospective prosperity at Us full face value until conditions become more clarified. "The country now seems to be passing through a period of free expenditure or reaction from the enforced economic and business restrictions of the war period.- a statement by the board said. "If the present activity should proved to be baaed principally on these causes, a. reaction may be looked for whe nthese forces have spent themselves." : Advancement of Prices. The price and reconstruction situation was said to be practically a continuation of that already noted in April with crices showing nnndnnnv

'l to retrograde. One federal reserve bank found that "the oublio is slowly

Adjusting itself to the conviction that there is to be no rapid post war drops In prices and is reconciling Itself to the probability that the old pre-war prices may never again be reached." Agriculturally, the remarkable promise of the early spring appears to be sustained in anunsulal degree, the statement said. Diversification due to organised effort is making progress and the cash returns to farmers are expected to be more than ever before. Prices of cattle are considerably higher than a vear am. whila hen am

lower. Receipts of hogB have been

smauer, wiin tne prices continuing to advance. In steel and iron the month's output fell to the lowest figures in many months, but a much better tone in the market was noted. While the bituminous coal industrv via renorted de

pressed with an output less than

seventy per cent of that a year ago, operators are said to be optimistic for the future. Th !iirrn iia nf

fuel is in excess of production. Af

ter several weeks of almost no demand, the market showed a slight improvement. General manufacturing was said to be showing decided improvement. The wool market was strong with prices In favor of the seller. Large orders have been placed lor yarns and finished goods, and woolen and worsted mills are going back to full time. These conditions are reflected in the demand for dry goods and shoes. Shoe prices are being marked up for. fall delivery, the outlook being for an Increase of 25 to 50 cents a pair for retailers. Retail Trade Loses Retail trade 1b assuming unprecedented volume, while nrices continue

abnormally high. Retailers im most ' sections have made little nr nn ad

justment but continue to demand prices based on war conditions, the board said. In New York large establishments report a valume of business two-thirds greater than a year ago, and in Chicago returns range from 25 to CO per cent in excess of

1918. In the south there is said to be "no contraction in the public buying power," while a greater proportion of cash sales Is reported. In building there has been a distinct revival throughout the country. Real estate values are said to be hardening, with sales of farm lands on the increase. v "The banking position of the country is reported as on the whole, sound, present circumstances considered," the board said, "and reserve percentages of the federal reserve system have shown an ability to hold their own."

fBO'J CBERRY-BL0SS011 LAND The Japanese Give Good Example

It is a pro verb of Cherry Blossom Land that beauty of face and figure depend on womanly health. What is it that makes our American women often pale, sallow-faced, with dark circles under the eyes, and very often old at forty-five when they should be in their prime? Women suffer in girlhood from back

ache, spine-ache and headaches, followed by irregularities and as a result diseases of the womanly organs are more common than any one but a physician in active practice could suppose. After long experience in the treatment of women's diseases. Dr. Pierce evolved a -vegetable tonic and corrective which he

called Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription. This is a purely vegetable preparation, without a particle of alcohol contained in it. -: . , . , , : When a woman complains of backache, dizziness or pain when everything looks black before her eyes a dragging feeling, or bearing-down, with nervousness, she should turn to this "temperance" herbal tonic. It can be obtained in almost every drug store in the land and the ingredients are printed in plain English on the wrapper. Put up in tablets or liquid. Dr. Pierce, of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., will send a trial size of the tablets for ten cents.
