CHAIN OUTLOOK
STILL UNCERTAIN
Profits Have Not Reached
New Peaks, but Hold
at High Levels.
Special Dispat tch TO The Star.

8pSCiei DBpAtcn 70 n8 0tAI.
NEW YORK. August 7.-Although
marked pro3ress from depression levels
has been registered BY both variety
and grocery chain stores, the outlook
for the future 10 still uncertain. ac-
cording to H. +. Hansen in . survey Of
the cnAin store business appearing IN
the current issue OF the Annalist.
GALES Of limited price variety chains
have risen TO . new high level. Al
though recent gains have been smalla
than those for total retail trade.
Profits" says Mr.. Hansen, have
not broken into new high ground. Al
though margins have improved sub
stantially during the last few years
and are at comparatively high level.
The dollar volume of grocery chain.
store sales has also increased, but has
recovered to only around the 1881
level. The most important factor in
this recovery has been the upward
trend In food prices. Unlike variety
chains. grocery chains have been re-
ducing the number OF stores operated
Fewer Stores Built.
THE trend is toward fewer but
larger stores, with some companies
opening up ermarkets. Compe-
tition Is becoming more severe, partly
because OF a rapid growth in voluntary
chains. Rejecting this rise in COM
petition and an increase in costs, profit
margins in the grocery field are we'll
below the 1929 level. In appraising
the outlook for all chain-store sys-
TENS. serious consideration must be
given to the growth in unionism and
to discriminatory tax laws
1T is generally believed that the
saturation point IS near at hand in 50
far As lov-priced merchandise is con-
cerned. Confederation of this is con-
tained in recent developments, the
leading system having for some time
experimented with the sale OF mer-
chandise up to 81. There is talk that
some chains may adopt 81 limit
BY reaching beyond their traditional
low-price field, chains hope to obtain
much bigger market, and evidently
preliminary experiments have not
been a failure, since the movement is
growing.
Margins Maintained.
Net income OF grocery chain stores
last year showed about the same per-
centsge increase over 1895 as sales. the
total for IL chains being S33,09 900.
AS compared with s3l ,226, 900 in 1885
and s57 1886, 900 in 1929.
The decrease from the 1929 level
amounts to 428 per cent. although
sales were only 81 per cent smaller
than In that year Severe competition
and rising costs have driven down
profit margins, which normally are
small. Last year profit per 500 sale
amounted TO only Sl72, as compared
with 1882 in 1929 A slight improve
ment occurred In 1895 over 1895, but
the nearby outlook is none too bright.
wholesale prices have risen At a
faster pace than retail prices, indicat-
ing further shrinkage in gross mar
gins. Moreover. taxes are higher and
the wage and salary bill is increasing
Continued gains in business activity
and consumer purchasing power how
ever. should permit adjustments in
retail prices TO offset higher costs.
