Show BUSINESS DEMANDS1 OUTRUN PRODUCTION r New York, Nov. 3. Dunn's Review says: "Neither the pending elections nor the persistent rise of prices have per. cepCibly reduced the momentum of the business movement. New buying for current and forward requirements still outstrips the facilities for both production pro-duction and distribution, labor conditions condi-tions and the growing scarcity of materials ma-terials acting as a brake on manufacturing manufac-turing in many directions. Car shortages short-ages are also a hindrance and the consequent con-sequent restriction of fuel supplies causes some concern. With shipments generally backward and the trend of prices continuing strongly upward, producers display greater reluctance in extending commitments and an increasing- number of profitable contracts con-tracts are being- rejected.
