CHAINS SALES
BEST OF YEAR

Retail trade maintained the
general forward movement in Oc-
tober which began last spring,
with the largest monthly dollar
volume reported this year, al
though percentage-wise the gain
was slightly under last month.
The first Is chains to report,
according to ChildS, JeffrieS &
Thorndike, Inc. and Hammons &
Company, did an aggregate bust
ness of $281, ,638,034, an increase
of $44,954,833 or 10 per cent over
the some month year ago. This
compares with $230,274,4 ,440 for
the month of June, which up to
October was the largest month of
the year in dollar volume.
This marks the sixth successive
month of the current upturn and
also the sixth consecutive month
when sales have increased more
than IS per cent over year ago.
The most important feature OF
the month was the reports of ris-
ing prices all along the line, the
report said. This tendency ap-
parently offset unseasonably
warm weather for the first two
, weeks, but more favorable weather
during the last week, however,
brought renewed buying which
resulted in many sections of the
country in the best single sales
week, with the exception of Easter,
this year.
These reports were accom-
panied also by another signifi-
cant indication, a shortage of
merchandise in some lines, sug-
gesting that manufacturers have
underestimated retail trade this
fall, and suggesting further higher
retail prices. The chains were
also aided by an extra Saturday,
as compared with a year ago.
