Junior WO Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank Cautious On Predicting 1955 Business the of one federal reserve bank. What's going to happen to busi ness next year? Consult the sumer, advises the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia in its Decem ber Business Review. The Bank pects consumers to lead the way toward moderately higher levels of business activity in 1955. A moder ate increase, says the article, would be a rise of 2 to 5 per cent above current levels. Before plunging into its forecast, the Bank points out that two of the pleasures of living in a democracy are that anyone can write a busi ness forecast, and no one has to read it. Two of the things that dis courage the Bank from making a forecast are that so much depends on the consumer, and there many of them. As a general rule, however, total consumer spending is at least pri marily dependent on income. It is significant, the article states, that in the post-war period consumer in come after taxes has been main tained through two'recessions—in 1949 and in 1954. The way that in come was maintained over the past year is illustrated in two pages of charts in the Review. Income produces its full effect spending only after a period of time, according to the Bank. This lag means that next year's spend ing is partly determined by today's earnings. The recent stronger trends in employment, wages, and hours seem to foreshadow some strengthening of consumer demand, so that some increase in spending is expected. It is difficult for many to see how consumer spending on housing could increase, the Bank says. Af ter all, we are completing our sixth consecutive year of a million or better housing starts. But people in the industry and some surveys say they will do just as good or even a little better in 1956. They might be right Businessmen con a Ed of Den the Den and a Cub di and of in ex are among their own best customers. They spend on inventory and on plant and equip ment. In 1964, business "lived off its inventory." ^he recent change for the better in the business cli mate may slow down or even halt inventory liquidation. This would have a further favorable effect on business conditions, according to the Review. Spending for plant expansion and modernization of equipment has been running off ever so slowly in 1954. The prospect is that it will continue to decline slowly during much of 1955^ the article says. There does seeln to be a prospect of an upturn in. this spending by the end of the year, however. Federal Government spending is still declining, but it is believed that it will not drop much further. State and local government spend ing has not turned down since the end of World War II. The Bank points out that crowded schools and highways spell a continuation of the upward drift in state and local government spending. are so on Delaware Food Market Report Supplied by the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Delaware ANNE HOLBERTON With heavy supplies of food this year, careful shopping can provide very economical holiday meals. This week's market offers good values on meats suitable for the main course of that important Christmas dinner. Inexpensive and high quality fruits and vegetables make it easy to round out the meal. Included among the "best buys" this week are: Meat and Poultry: Pork sup plies are now running far ahead of a year ago and present a good o nortunity for featuring ham in your home this Christmas.
