TRADE ADVANCES
At MOST CENTERS
Retail Volumes Boosted to
Within 2 to II Per Cent
of 1887 Levels.
~ the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Sept. 3o.--Retail sales
turned upward at most leading CEN
ters Of distribution this week as shop
pers made purchases deferred during
last weeks stormy weather, Dun g.
Bradstreet reported today.
The buying rebound lifted retail
volume for the country as a whole
to within 2 to II per cent of totals
for the like 1897 week.
Wholesale trade, however, Jagged 3
to per cent under last week and
S to II per cent below last year.
"As shoppers in the East made up
for buying postponed during the storm
period, total retail volume rebounded
quickly" the credit agency said.
In restricted areas an avalanche
OF calls for roofing materials, glass,
electrical specialties, small tools, can
dies and kerosene lamps depleted store
stocks
Low temperatures favored the move
ment of winter coats, three-piece suits,
knitwear and leather sporting goods.
Although most cities reported sales
still below totals for the corresponding
period of 1887. many pointed out that
the decrease in dollar volume was ap-
proximately equal to the fall in prices
and that unit sales were actually
close to those of last year" OF whole
sale trends the agency added:
In the absence of any general
interest in forward buying, spot de-
mands continued to provide the bulk
of volume in wholesale markets. What
contracting ahead there was confined
itself principally to goods in which
shortages had developed and price
rises were thought imminent.
THE trucking strike in the New
York City region and railroad tie-ups
in torm-devastated areas added to
an already acute delivery situation
in several lines.
LAS the week progressed orders to
replace merchandise damaged or de-
stroyed by the storm grew in number"

recent weeks. Active issues generally
were Il to p of a point higher, with
some up much more.
