Retail Distribution
Is Able to Hold Gain

Retail distribution remained at a
mean level last week but was able ia
hold the gain set down for it during
the month, according to the weekly
business report of r. G. Dun and
company.
Seasonal influences and the benefit
cent gestures from the government
and the Federal Reserve system are
spreading confidence in all trade
channels, with the lighter industrial
lines giving evidence of the most rap
id recovery. The more normal wealth
err in most districts has brought an
encouraging increase in the movement
of women's apparel, including millin-
cry and shoes.
Mems clothing lines are offering
the greatest resistance to efforts to
liquidate stocks. despite the drastic
price reductions that have been made
in many instances. In some parts OF
the Southwest, the observance of
straw hat day spread interest to
mems furnishings. Spring require
ments have made necessary the de-
ferred fulfillment Of needs for light
hardware. farm implements and gar
den tools. Electric refrigerator sales
have been extremely satisfactory, and
indications are favorable for further
gains next month. This is the third
record breaking year in the electric
refrigeration field. and wide gains are
being made in the number of units
sold: the average retail price has been
brought down about 60 per cent in the
last ten years.
Sales of department. stores, gener-
ally, have held steady. and some Of
the speciality shops are beginning to
record more active buying interest by
featuring special promotions and en-
phasizing novelty merchandise rather
than depending on price appeal alone.
BY adjusting operating expenses and
credit policies to prevailing price-lev-
els and decreased volume, retailers
apparently are meeting existing hand
leaps more successfully than year
ago.

Chicago, May 3.-tP)-The first ev;-

Shafer of North Dakota.
This opened the grain growers at
tack on the rate increases asked b.

"Why should the growers" Larkin
asked, "he penalized by higher rates

Examiner Arthur Mackley asked
Gov. Shafer if he believed that. mas

to competition in other commodities.
the rates should be hiked on what
traffic the carriers still had, such as
grain and grain products.
A. B. Enoch. chairman OF the car

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Presi- dent Hoover yesterday met for the first time since the Republican National Convention in Chicago with Everett Sanders whom he charged directly with managing the campaign.
 What had been forecast as a conference of wide political import ance, lasted only few minutes.
 Chairman Sanders, of the Re- publican National Committee, said he merely paid his respects to the President as Hoover was too en- grossed in governmental duties to talk campaign. He said he ex- pected to have a conference later.
