SEPTEMBER STORE
SALES SHOW GAIN
Increase Somewhat Smaller
Than Seasonal Estimates
Indicated.

Department store sales in the II
Federal Reserve districts increased from
August to September by "a per cent
when allowance is made for the number
of trading days. This increase is some
what less than the estimated seasonal
increase for that period, and the Fed
eral Reserve Boards index of depart
ment store sales, which is adjusted for
seasonal variations, declined by per
cent during the month.
AS compared with last year, the ag-
eregate value of sales in September was
per cent smaller, and when allowance
is made for the fact that there was
one more trading day this year than
last, the decrease from last year Is
about IL per cent. The decline in the
dollar value of department store sales
from last year accompanied reduction
in the level of prices of the goods sold
by these stores.
Fifth District Sales Fair.
Sales in the local Federal Reserve
district were only 9 per cent lower tnan
in September, 1929. This Is exactly the
cities in the IL districts. The Rich
mond district, however, made a better
showing for the first nine months OF
the present year, reporting an average
loss of 2 per cent in sales compared
with loss of per cent in store trade
in the country as whole.
The Dallas district made the best
September showing, sales being down
but per cent. New York and Kansas
City sales we're off per cent, Mime
apolis and San Francisco districts
per cent, and Atlanta per cent. But
Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cnl-
cagn and St. Louis we're below the fifth
reserve district in average sales.
For the year to date, however, New
York is in the lead, retail sales being on
but / per cent from last year. The fol-
lowing comparison Of retail sales by
districts was made public by the Fed
eral Reserve Board today, covering

NEARLY 900 DIVIDENDS
CHANGED IN TEN MONTHS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 30.-The num-
Der of dividend reductions and dividends
passed in the first 10 months Of this
year amounts to nearly 300. Those
changes being reported now are from
the stronger corporations that have been
able to resist the effects OF the decline
In earnings, but find it better policy to
conserve their cash resources. Although
some of them had been anticipated, 9TH
ers were unexpected. The general effect
was obviously bearish and checked buy
ing in spite of the fact that the stocks
affected have been materially Debated.
Where dividends are still being paid, a
high rate of income remains. There will
undoubtedly be more changes of /. this
sort in the last two months of the year
among the industrials and investment
trusts. No indications so far appear Of
any disturbance in the ranks of the
railroad and public utility dividend
payers.
