New York, May 1l.-tR)-The VOL
ume Of retail and wholesale buying
rose this week with the temperature,
said the Dun & Bradstreet weekly
trade review Friday.
The agency reported that. along
with the sudden squirt" in retail dis
tribution, the rate Of industrial oper-
atoms reached new high ground for
the year In several divisions.
The sudden revival Of activity" it
continued, following the languiShing

dence that the weather has been the
major retardative factor to progress
during the last few weeks.
THE accelerated pace at which
merchandise now IS passing into con-
sumers' hands has removed the fears
OF . few weeks ago that inventory
losses would be suffered. as stocks Of
the slowest selling items already have
been lowered to such an extent that
disposal Of the balance will not be
difficult as the peak Of the spring
buying movement IS not expected to
be reached until the latter part Of
