Prospects of good upturn in business in 1940
The first official forecast from the Bureau of Agricultural Economics predicts a moderate rise in industrial and business activity, higher consumer income, and better farm product markets. Small increases in wholesale prices are expected as the year opens, with gains from export prospects to warring and neutral nations and higher capital spending on roads, utilities, and factories. Uncertainties from the war may cause sharp fluctuations as inventories adjust.
