While the trend in sales volume
did not show marked improvement
over the preceding month in some
of the divisions, there was decided
upward turn in others. The unsea-
sonally warm weather most of last
month undoubtedly was a substan-
tial factor in keeping the sales
volume at its present level. Retail
trade in New England especially was
still suffering from the effects of
the hurricane and transportation
difficulties.
Drug Chains Gain.
The drug chains last month made
the best showing of any of the
groups, with an increase of .95 per
cent over the same month the previ-
Gus year. being the first increase this
division has reported this year since
April.
The shoe group was next, with
decrease of l per cent in sales VOL
ume from october of last year.
This is decided Improvement for
this division, which for the past six
months has shown decreases rang
ing from "A per cent to ITO per
cent, with the exception of the
Easter months.
The grocery division reported a
decline of 407 per cent last month
from the same period in 1887. This
drop in sales volume is less than
half the decrease in September,
which was 1866 per cent.

Mako was promising singles player
before he tied up with Bulge in dou-

1t was not until this summer, when
he carried Bunny Austin to five sets
at Wimbledon, that he decided sud-
denly to see what he could salvage
from his singles career. He had to
do something, because Bulge planned
to turn professional.
He has done surprisingly we'll. Play
