NEW YORK, July THE Fourth

For the country as a whole, the
average increase in retail trade over
a year ago was estimated at between
6 and 10 per cent"
The survey noted that from now
on comparisons will be made against
the rapidly rising level of activity in
the last half of 1898.
For wholesale merchants this
week was the turning point between
summer and fall A sample of buyer
sentiment revealed that the majority
looked for the sales improvement
over 1888 to continue, and were
planning budgets to 10 per cent
larger than year ago"
