TRADE SHIFT IS
BENEFIT TO

Retailers Also Feel Impulse Due
to Fall Buying, Says
" Bradstreet.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Brad.
streets Weekly Review of business
today says:
, Little change in the aggregate Of
activities, trade as whole being
satisfactory, but quite definite
shifting of interest from primary
lines of distribution to the jobbing
and retail branches is in evidence
this week. For this cooler weather
in many Western districts. growth
in holiday buying and the advanced
stage of, the ordinary fall trade sea
som are mainly responsible. Accom-
panying these Developments have
been some notable changes in move
ments of important staples growing
out of a slight further easing of the
car situation.
Grain marketing, aided by best
prices of the season, has increased
and coal loadings last week were
close to the years record, but move
ment of other freights seems to have
decreased, which, fortified by the Of
ficjal car loading figures for the pre-
ceding week (November ~ would
make it seem fairly certain, as init
mated last week, that car loadings
as a whole touched their peak in
the last week of October, falling
slightly short then of reaching the
high peak total set up in mid-Octo-
Der of 1920.
Current loadings, however, exceed
the past two years. The occurrence
Of the peak car loading point two
weeks later this year than in 1920 is
no doubt explainable by the delay
in the advent of fall trade activities
this. year due TO the obstruction to
NORMAL business by the coal and
railway shipments strikes.
Jobbing trade In secondary mar
kets Is rather better, and 80 Is retail
buying despite the fact that bad
roads are noted as a result of recent
rains in the West.
