RURAL RETAIL SALES
UP SHARPLY IN SOUTH
Increase of 3512 Per Cent for March
Scored Over Year Ago.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-Daily
average sales of general merchan-
disc in small towns and rural areas
showed a larger increase in the
South than in other parts Of the
country for March, 1885, as COM
pared with March, 1884, according to
estimates Of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, based on
rural chain store and mail order
sales.
Sales in the South were about
3512 per cent larger in March, 1885,
than in March of the preceding
year, compared with an increase of
about 22l2 per cent for the country
as a whole. The smallest gain was
in the East which showed an in
crease of 1872 per cent, it was stated.
The increase in daily average
sales from February to March varied
greatly in the different regions Of
the country. The largest gain was
in the far West, amounting to Is
per cent, while the smallest, 4 per
cent, was recorded in the South.
These differences, however, might be
accounted for, at least in part, by
varying seasonal movements in the
different sections.

LIGHT PRODUCE SUPPLY
HELD NORMAL FEATURE
Price Trend Downward at Start
Of Month, Report Declares.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-Lighter
carlOt supplies of produce the past
few weeks resulted mainly from the
usual rapid late spring decrease in
movement of old potatoes, sweet po-
tatOes, apples, and carrots, the De-
partment of Agriculture said today.
There was a let-up in shipments
of citrus fruits. Lettuce movement
increased sharply the last week of
April. Southern tomatoes continue
active and prices low. Supplies Of
peas, peppers, beets and strawberries
also are increasing, but Louisiana
strawberry movement is lighter than
expected. Asparagus is becoming
abundant and prices are lower.
Price trend of most produce was
downward, or at best fairly steady,
around the first Of May. Cabbage
and lettuce were exceptions, and the
carrot market has shown firm
market action.

Highlights Of News

Times Financial Writer

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in
L his "freside chat" to the nation
Sunday night, served notice that
he has not abandoned his econom-
&c program nor relaxed his insist
ence on its prompt enactment.
In squirting into action a Congress
that has passed but one major
measure in II weeks, the President
forsOOk his custom of refraining
from discussing pending legislation.
His must program includes ex-
tension Of NRA preferably for a
tWo-year period elimination or
regulation Of utility holding COM
panies, the banking bill which
would reform the Federal Reserve
system, legislation UnifyIng trans
poTtatiOn facilities, and adoption OF
his social security measures.
Hot on the heels Of the Presidents
radio address came roaring disap-
prOval of his policies. The storm
center was the tWenty-third annual
convention Of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce in Wash
ingtOn. Resentment among a
large group of delegates over the
Administrations program flared as
the convention closed with the
election Of a new president, Harper
Sibley of Rochester, N. Y, TO sue
coed Henry i. Hartman.
Scuttling the work Of the steering
committee. the business leaders re-
fused TO sanction any part Of the
broad program Of social legislation
proposed by Mr.. Roosevelt. Resolu-
lions condemning the new banking
act. extension Of power for the
AAA, the 3O-hour week, the Wag-
ner labor disputes bill. and the
holding company bill were damned
through without a dissenting vote.
Perhaps the mildest Of all the crit
icisms uttered at the convention
was made by Mr.. Hartman: The
New Deal has attempted much that
is good, but it has tried TO do too
much IN too short a time
