Business
Borometers

Nationwide study Of credit prac-
tees, released today by the De-
partment of Commerce, reveals
that in Sc kinds Of business sur
veyed more than twothirds Of
sales are for cash or C. o. d., 81
per cent ON open accounts, 10 per
cent on the installment plan. By
comparison department stores in
1895 were taking about 5 per cent
business on open credit accounts,
getting cash in per cent fewer
tranactionS, allowing slightly
fewer inStallment purchases.
Mems clothing and furnishing
stores report almost three-fourthS
of their sales for cash with only
is per cent on the inStallment
plan. WON ems ready-to-wear
shops show almost the same pro
portions. Furniture stores record
heaviest inStallment sales, more
than 48 per cent of their business
being on time payment plans, con-
traSted to shoe stores with no
installment business and SO per
cent cash sales.
Boom Job Level
Employment in the general
merchandising division Of the re.
tail trade-which includes depart
ment storeS-is averaging about
2.3 per cent better than q year
ago and only one-tenth of / per
cent below 1929 averages. Latest
Department of Commerce survey
shows that the number Of en-
ployes in all types of retail stores
by April, had increased AZ per
cent over q year ago but was still
IL per cent below the boom year.
Outdistancing employment gains,
general merchandising pay rolls
Jumped nearly 10 per cent over
year ago but were still ii per
cent below 1929. Pay rolls
throughout the retailing field also
moved up 10 per cent above last
year but stood IS per cent below
1929.
Little Giants"
Trend toward more "little fel-
lows in the retail business and
q corresponding increase in the
small retailers share Of total sales
is revealed in latest Commerce
DEPARTMENTS survey. In 1929 the
number of stores doing an an
nual business Of less than $lO,-
600 totaled 81 per cent Of all re-
tail establishments. By 1888 the
percentage had increased to 81
per cent and remained the same
in 1885. Proportion Of total bust
ness-l2.2 per cent in 1935-was
nearly three times the 1929 level.
Reversing this record the num-
her of stores doing more than
$4,000 business annually de-
creased from IL per cent in 1929
to SO per cent in 1895. Likewise
their share Of retail business
dropped from nearly one-third OF
the total in 1929 to zig per cent
in 1885.

Commerce officials explained,
however, that protracted warfare
in the Orient may reduce materi-
ally American receipts this year
on foreign investments. Disorders
in the Shanghai area already have
paralyzed business to such an ex-
tent that the Federal Reserve
Board yesterday authorized Amer.
lean banks to close their branches
in that city.
