CALHOUN ST. / WOODSTOCK, ILL. U.S. SAVINGS BONDS Two key reports on business prospects were released recently. One concerned consumers' intentions to buy new cars, homes, etc. The other concerned businessmen's intentions to spend for new piants and equipment. Neither was good. Consumer spending. The report on consumers' intentions was based on a survey by the federal reserve board. It showed that consumers expect to buy- one-fifth fewer new cars this year than they bought last year. Further, they expect to spend $70 less per car'. Families expect to buy or build one-sixth fewer houses this year. They also expect to spend less for furniture and appliances. Planned outlays for home repairs and maintenance appear to be about the same as they were a year ago. One-fourth of the consumers, who were surveyed in January and February, said they were earning less than they Earned the year before. This was the largest number in several years [to report a cut in income. It was slightly larger than the number reporting declines in income in the recessioin years of 1949 and 1954. Consumer, or personal, spending is by far the most important source of demand in this country. In 1957 consumers bought 70 percent of all goods and services produced. Consumer buying was maintained a high level during the two previous recessions since World War II, and this aided early recovery. Now consumers are better supplied u?ith autos, housing, appliances, etc., and they are more heavily loaded with debts. Thus they may not do much buying to check the recession as they did in 1949 and 1954. Business spending. The report on business intentions to spend was made by the Department of Commerce and the - Securities Exchange commission. It indicated that by midsummer business will be spending one-fifth less for new plants and equipment than a year earlier. All types of business, except public utilities, are making reductions. Spending by business is much smaller, but much more variable than spending by consumers. Such spending last year absorbed about 10 percent of all goods and 'services produced. Business spending increased about two-fifths from 1954 to 1957, and this increase was a major' factor in maintaining high-level employment. Altogether business and consumer spending in 1957 took about 80 percent of all goods, and services produced, while government purchases took the remaining 20 percent. If business and consumer spending is reduced, will government spending be increased enough to "take up the slack"? " Out lays by state and local governments have been, increasing slowly for many years, and no great change will occur this year. Any. big anti-recession spending programs by the federal government would require at least six to 12 months to get Into full operation. Thus it appears that government spending will not be increased enough this year to offset the decrease in private spending, and that the business recession will continue throughout the year. (A tax reduction could come more quickly, but little or no reduction is expected.) ^ L. H. Simerl ' . Dept. of Ag. ficl .
