Ahead Of Year Ago
Rr fha Arcnciafad psase

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Retail
trade, buoyed by a squirt of buying
on election day, brought this weeks
volume to a new peak for the season,
Dun g. Bradstreet said today in a
weekly survey.
"The year-to-year improvement
in trade" the agency said, "estimat-
ed between 10 to II per cent, was
the largest recorded by any week
this year.
Favorable weather apparently
played a decisive role in results, al
though merchants have pointed out
recently that buying shows less SEN
sitivity to weather changes than is
usual at this period Of the year.
Retailers were cheered by the
fact that broad sales increases over
last year were obtained, for the most
part, with less promotional effort.
Customers continued to incline to-
ward better grades of merchandise.
This tendency, along with the
institution of fewer markdowns and
a slight advance in the level Of
prices, was said to be accounting for
significantly higher average sales
check.
"A rising sales trend for luxury
goods, such as jewelry and furs, and
for durable goods, such as electrical
equipment and automobiles was
also frequently mentioned as an
outstanding development of favor
able significance.
