The current level of operations has been made possible to an important degree by new plants and machinery which have been completed since the war, Mr. Figgis said. The company's future program of plant expansion and installation of new machinery to bring capacity into line with expanding require¬ ments will, he said, remain on a flexible basis, adjustable to conditions in customer industries. -However, he added, the need for new facilities is inescapable in many specialized fields where the company's sales and research departments have created new packaging methods with consequent expansion of customer demand for special-purpose con¬ tainers. Barring unforeseen developments, these demands justify 1949 capital improvements considerably greater than the $26,000,000 average of the last three years, Mr. Figgis said.—V, 169, p. 597.

Accordingly, in the above the last day of the week in all cases has to be estimated. In the elaborate detailed-statement, however, which we present further below we are able to give final and complete results of the week previous — the week fending April 16. For that week there was a decrease of 5.0%, the aggregate of clearings for the whole country having amounted to $13,753,638,439 against $14,482,105,612 in the same week in 1948. Outside of this city there was a gain of 2.9%, the bank clearings at this center have recorded a decrease |of 12.6%. We group the cities according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located and from this it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals show a loss of 12.0% and in the Boston Reserve District of 4.2% but in the Philadelphia Reserve District the totals show a gain of 7.6%. In the Cleveland Reserve Dsitrict the totals are larger by 4.6% and in the Atlanta Reserve District by 8.7%, but in the Richmond Reserve District the totals are smaller by 5.7% The Chicago Reserve District has to its credit an improvement of 7.6%, the St. Louis Reserve District of 3.5% and in the Minneapolis Reserve District the totals are larger by 17.0%.
