Retail Trade Forges
Ahead on Return Of
Good Weather
National Average Rises
2 to J Per Cent Above
Same 1888 Period

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Good
weather following a series of early
February storms helped to expand
the Nations retail trade during the
past week and volume for the coun-
try as whole averaged 2 to 7 per
cent higher than in the like period
last year. Dun & Bradstreet reported
today in their weekly business re-
view.
Reports from various regions" 4"
said the review, indicated that gen.
orally the improvement in retail
buying was occurring at slightly
faster pace in rural than urban
areas. Nevertheless, some industrial
centers, especially those of the Mid
die West which were severely de-
pressed a year ago. were making
rapid progress in transferring their
sales comparisons with last year
from the minus to the plus side"
Wholesale ordering was reported
somewhat heavier, comparisons
with last year indicating that re-
tailers were preparing for more
active spring season than in l938.'
Contributing to the rise in whole
sale buying, said the review, were
several factors, including the build
ing service strike in New York,
which brought out large number
of deferred orders on ready -to-Wear
and furs. Another was the open
ing of the semi-annual market
week in Chicago, attracting approx
mately $4,000 buyers to style shows
and other trade exhibits

This burning he added, should
be done in March, and at a time
when the leaves or other trash are
dry enough to burn completely, for
If a damp layer next to the soil
