Best Since 1929 Is Way Business Is Characterized
Ames Iowa January 21 Best since 1929 is the way business is characterized in year end reviews of business conditions and industrial production according to Agricultural Economic Facts ISU extension service. The report notes peaks since 1932 38 with stronger gains since last March and rapid rise in the last two months. Opinions differ on permanence with some optimistic about natural recovery and others fearing an artificial boom and higher prices. Labor difficulties may portend strikes before wages and living costs adjust. Iowa farm prices advanced in December pushing the farm index to 182 percent of prewar levels, highest in seven years. Hog prices rose 40 cents per hundred contributing to the rise. Prices paid remained unchanged while prices received increased and purchasing power rose to 108 percent of the 1910-14 level.
