NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Rail loans

Recent gains in the carriers and in

With the trading apathy usual Just

forecasts of business recovery revival

At midday stimulus in the rail

Best Totals Since 1929
Prevented by Small
Stocks of Goods

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Swelled by
holiday buying, the Nations retail
trade during the past week expand.
ed to the best levels Of the year,
Dun & Bradstreet reported today In
their weekly business survey.
"In many centers," said the re-
view, merchants acknowledged that
only thin stocks had kept them
from recording the best totals for
any pre-Christmas week since 1929.
Most stores reported a larger
average sale than in preceding
weeks, as buyers displayed greater
interest in the better grades of
merchandise.
"The increased buying raised unit
sales we'll above last year, but was
not quite sufficient to overcome the
drop of 6 to per cent in retail
prices, compared with year ago.
AT the most, dollar value was 2
per cent lower than the total for
the corresponding week of 1887.
In wholesale as in retail markets
stock shortages impeded the full
expansion in sales. Requests for
holiday goods were as numerous as
last week at many centers. but
broken lines, and, in some instances,
actual scarcities, lost business for
wholesale houses.
"A slight contraction in forward
buying was evident, although in
quiries on spring lines continued
heavy.
'Last-minute orders of Christmas
goods stressed accessory items, par
ticularly handbags, initiated hand
kerchiefs, costume jewelry and
leather goods"
