Business economists foretell steady expansion despite imbalances
At the 19th annual meeting of the National Association of Business Economists three advisers to policy makers caution that a recession is not near. Charles L. Schultze says inventories and capacity use buttress a continued recovery. Henry Wallich notes limited upside imbalances but warns on trade deficits and weak fixed investment. Lawrence R. Klein adds that growth may top four percent soon with jobless rates easing.

Wheat and Soybean Prices Slip Amid Harvest Pressure
Prices for soybeans and corn fell sharply on the Chicago Board of Trade amid harvest pressure and a longshoremen strike delaying New Orleans shipments for 14 days. Soybeans dropped about 38 to 41 cents a bushel with November at 5.13 and wheat down 4 to 5 percent. The pork complex remained firm on the CME while live cattle slid modestly. Analysts noted global growth actions and policy debates shaping demand, with a somber mood in markets as 1977 pressures persisted.
