New York, March 24.—Economists
are caulioti.sly voicing the opinion
that the steam Is escaping from the
boom.
Retailers are frankly worried by
this year’s “early Easter.” Manufac
turers are showing increasing un
easiness by curbing Inventories and
instituting operating economies on a
broad scale.
But several basic economic "cush
ions” are being overlooked In these
gloomy reckonings. One underjlylng
support is in industry’s $16 billion
yearly spending for new plants and
equipment. Another is public con
struction.
Regardless of price flurries In se
curities, commodities J(nd retail mar
kets, Indiustry for the third straight
year is spending more for durable
facilities than ever before. Public
construction contract awards are up
more than 300 per cent over a year
ago. State and municipal public
works postponed during the war
years are expected to keep public
construction at high levels.
