NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-' Reports from all parts of the country this week to Dun-Bradstreet, Inc, empha. size enlarged spending power running into the millions of dollars and of the rapid dis appearance of suspense and apprehension noted before MIRA won general support.
 The weekly review further said even the smaller mer- chants are beginning to feel the benefit of increased em- ployment and higher earning of the working classes.
 The review further says: 'Of dominate importance in the trade news was the ex- tension of the sustained buy ing movement to more re- mote a m i f i C a t ions of an elongated line which the busi- ness front has now assumed. There is a bulkier aggregate of distributive totals but this does not afford the sole sus- taining factor to spread as- sured confidence in potential betterments as these are re- infOrced by improved earn ings statements from the sec- 0nd quarter and first half of the third which is revealed in profits in encouraging con trast to the rate of losses which were general in the first quarter"
