BUSINESS SILVER LINING.

a NALYSIS of retail trade in the
United States for the close of
the year, made by the National Re
tail Dry Goods association, demon
strates that reductions in the prices
of merchandise have led to a cessa-
ton of anything remotely resembling
a buyers strike" Actual sales vol
ume of fall merchandise in pieces Of
merchandise appears greater than
was the sales volume recorded for
the fall of 1920. The increase has
been due to the obvious and uni
versal lowering of prices, says q bull
letin by the association.
As early as August . of this year,
statistics collated for the entire coun-
try by the L. S. Department OF La
boar on ten standard articles of dry
goods showed retail price reduction
below the level of August IS, 1920,
of "a 3-4 per cent.
While the money value of net sales
the country over was lower by o.
per cent in October. 1921, than ii
was in October, 1920, the percent
age of decline has been substantially
less than was the percentage of de-
cline in the average price of goods
during 1921, indicating that the &C
tual volume of merchandise moving
at retail is greater than it was in
1920. The average sale at retail,
apart from holiday goods, has
amounted in money this fall 10 S3.13
as against 1898 for the fall of 1920,
decline of Ia per cent. This fig
ure, of Ia per cent decline, repre-
sents in large measure the economy
in money outlay practised by the pub
lie in obtaining a considerable in
crease in volume of merchandise for
consumption.
The mail order houses have not
been similarly favored by the buying
public. Many have undergone seri-
Gus reverses. Several of the smaller
houses have discontinued business,
while others have been forced into
consultations. From January l to
December l of this year, the Sears,
Roebuck sales decreased $74,492, 497,
or 31.64 per cent, as compared with
the eleven-month period of 1920,
while the Montgomery Ward decrease
was 1901 per cent. During Novem-
Der, the two houses together lost $19,-
495,022 in sales as compared with
their sales of November, 1920. Their
sales volume combined, up to Deem
Der / of this year, was $108,257,210
below that of the January-December
period of 1920.
These losses have been attributed
to the farmers decreased purchasing
power by reason of price decline in
farm products. But retail merchants

the fresh merchandise makes where
