REVIVAL EXPECTED
IN FOOD TRADE
January Sales Disappointing
but Most Distributors
Remain Hopeful.

NEW YORK, Jan 28-Dollar VOL
ume of food distributors in the first
half Of January has been disappoint-
ing, but the majority of distributors
are optimistic regarding the next
few months, the American Institute Of
Food Distribution reports. Dollar vol
ume of retail sales is of to 6 per cent
compared to the fine business Of last
January, reports to the institute
indicate.
Wholesale grocers enjoyed a fair
pickup in volume due to the first COW
ering by their retail customers in the
new year, but the average retailer is
buying in such small lots that this VOL
Stltute finds.
Early days Of the month offered
an excellent comparison with last jan
uary. when business was slow, but
progress of the month has brought
more Disappointing comparisons be-
cause the bargain advertising is scar
ing retailers and last January finished
with good rush of business. Whole
salers billing seems to be running
about 10 per cent behind those of year
ago, the institute finds.
Most favorable reports to the Food
Institute come from brokers, who are
having pickup in buying although
the average purchase is so small that
the business is expensive to handle.
ENCOURAGING note in the reports re-
ceived by the institute from food dis
tributors in all sections of the country
is their optimism regarding the future.
Most distributors feel that their VOL
ume is close to the bottom point. Few
expect more comfortable compari-
sons during February and March. The
majority expect dragging business
until the opening Of Spring. with con-
ditions much better by April.
No distributors are optimistic about
profits, with costs up and margins
down. Hand-to-mouth buying is a
heavy burden on every one, the insti-
tute notes.
Average food prices turned slightly
downward last week. principally due to
the hesitation in speculative conf
dence, the Food Institute reports.

ABRUPT ADVANCE
TAKEN BY FRANC
Rise Is Interpreted as Move to
Punish Those Selling Cur.
rency Short.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-An abrupt
upturn in the franc today was inter-
preted by some foreign exchange trad
ers as a maneuver by the French con-
troll fund timed to punish spectators
who had been selling the currency
short. The franc rebounded nearly
0.04 OF cent to about 1926 cents in
midmorning.
Exchange men said there appeared
to have been considerable short selling
of the franc earlier in the week, con-
tributing to its decline. The incentive
to sell short. they pointed out, in
creased yesterday because sellers did
not have to make delivery until Mon
day. Evidently. it was said, traders
had been gambling on the chance the
currency might break through 1923
cents, where it had been supported
on declines.
During the recent outflow of funds
from France, while the old and new
cabinets wrestled with political and
economic problems. the control fund
was reported standing aside. stepping
in only occasionally to aid the franc.
Reports from Washington said the
United States Treasury, through the
stabilization fund, had been co-operat-
ing with French authorities in efforts
to protect the franc against destructive
speculative operations.
