Expansion of Business as Result of Wkar Reserve BoarcTForecast No Check Ascertained in Upward Movement of Prices and Financial Authorities Are Urging Conserva tive Policies Credit Is Overstrained and Ten dency Toward Speculative Operations Is Evident ' Washington, Feb. 29. Early end ing of the general expansion which has characterized war and , imme diate post-war periodswere forecast in a statement summarising Febru ary business conditions issued to- nght by the federal reserve board. The upward movement of prices, so far as the board could ascertain, generally had not met with any check. Financial and banking authorities everywhere were asserted to be looking moreseriously at the gen eral situation in credit and begin ning to urge the adoption of con servation policies. While the re view .asserted that this could not be accepted as meaning that the -'orgy of speculation" had been absolutely dhecked. there was said to be the in disputable evidente that banks were exercising a "greater degree of jdis crimination and judgment in com plying with the demands of their customer?." Credit Is Overstrained! "Throughout practically all of the reports of federal reserve agents," the statement said, "there runs plainly a recognition of the exist ence of an over-strained condition of credit and' of some continued tendency toward speculative opera tions. High living costs and the up ward movement of t prices have apparently not beenj.1 checked, -although there is a decrease in priced in certain lines and a tendency toward restricted trade in others. Interest rates areising in most dis tricts, while banks are exercising a greater degree of discrimination and judgment in meeting the demands of their customers. The increase in interest rates has had the effect of lowering security quotations, the board found, as even the best investment securities have suffered in this respect. It also has had the effect of forcing a shrinkage or contraction in the volume of trading in all classes of securities, ;the magnitude of which was re garded as alarming by the board several months ago. In some fed eral reserve districts there were in dications of a . reduction in the volume of speculation in commo dities. - " -"The effects of the increase in dis ccunt rates," the statement con Al-oKi-Oinie-FlobE' Heaftmg Reduces living costs for the small home!

This pier was built 10-' years ago. the first important struc ture of its kind erected on the Pa cific coast Many of the concrete piles have been practically eaten away on cracked by the action of the sea water, and as the entire struc ture' rests on piles alone, the failure of the piles means the failure of the pier. As a whole, the pier is in a dan gerous condition and has been con1 demned. A The investigating committee' recommends that steps be taken at ence for the replacement of the con crete piles with-those of creosoted wood, retaining the present - deck structure. It states that such a sub structure should have a life approx imately equal to the remaining life of the existing deck and so the great- esnpossible use ot the original in vestment consistent with public safe ty will be made.
