Retail Trade in
New England Was
Big Month March

Boston, April 1S--Rctai store
trade i'll New England WAS cxccp-
tionally large during March. accord
ing to reports received by the Fed
eraI Reserve Bank Of Boston and
compiled today. Net sales in dol
lars in leading Boston stores were
probably larger than in any previous
March-larger even than in March.
lo2O when commodity prices were
considerably higher thanatpres-
emit" it was said. Net sales of the
eight largest Boston department
stores showed an increase of nearly
IA percent over last march. while
stores situated in other New Eng
land cities reported an even greater
Improvement. their sales being more
than 2Ofo higher than in March 1920.
Part of the increase shown in
March over u year ago was due to
the fact that Easter came on the
first day of April this YEAR. while it
was about two weeks later last year.
Therefore, all the Easter buying this
year came in March. while last year
it was spread over into April
Nevertheless, preliminary reports
indicate that the volume of trade so
far this month has been above the
corresponding period in April year
ago. showing that the March i'm
prOvement was based on something
more fundamental than the differ
ence in the date of Easter. 1t was
probably a reflection OF the numer-
Gus wage increases made through
out New England"

GAMES GREATEST
CROWD HOW Is AS
RUTH GET HOMER
TELLS why B, GA.
HAS BETTER MONEY
SHOWING THAN N. G.

Portland. Me-. April 1S-Four prin-
cipal reasons for the more favorable
financial showing Of the Bangor &
Aroostook railroad for the past year
as compared with that of the Maine
Central railroad was given by Morris
Mcdonald today at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders Of the Maine
Central of which he was reelected
president. They were as follows:
"First-The Maine Central average
rates for transportation Of freight
are generally lower than those of the
Bangor & Aroostook.
"Secord-The freight traffic agree
mcnt now in effect between the
Maine Central and the Bangor &
AroostoOk railroads, entered into in
1913 when the Maine Central was
controlled by the New York. New
Haven e Hartford interests. has the
effect of reducing the average rate
per ton per mile on the Maine Ger
trail.
"Third.A large proportion of the
freight traffic interchanged bctN cen
the Maine Central and the Bangor
e. Aroostook is westbound making It
necessary to move the greater part
of the freight cars for this traffic
eastbound empty. and on which per
diem charges must be paid by this
company while in our possession, in
both directions.
Fourth-Thc Maine Central aver
agc rate per passenger mile is very
near the standard for most class /
railroads-three and six tenths cents
per mile. The rate per passenger
per mile Of the Bangor & Aroostooll
is considerably in excess of this stan
dard rate.
