Slacking May Business Noted in Eighth District
The May report from the St. Louis Federal Reserve notes a temporary slowdown in Eighth District activity due to weather and cautious buying amid higher prices. Conditions in the South are better, with strong production and steady demand, though overall new buying is down from earlier months. Rail freight stays at record levels and cotton and tobacco regions show mixed but solid activity. A marriage report lists John Wyn and Alabama Pace’s May 31 wedding in Disney.
