NEW YORK, Feb. l7.-Retail
trade, Dun g. Bradstreet asserted
today, was the only major business
division to score a definite gain
during the past week." t.
An important factor in the ex-
pansion, the credit agency's weekly
business review pointed out, was
the good response by shoppers to
the Lincoln's birthday sales promo
tions, which lifted volume to "the
highest for any single day so far
this year"
"Freakish weather during the
week." said the review, made the.
day-to-day showing the most cities
fairly irregular, although the total
volume of sales for the full week
generally showed decided increase
over the preceding period. =.
Volume was still lower than last
year in number of cities, but on
the average increases tended to out
weigh losses, and the total for the
whole country was estimated higher
by to per cent.
Mail orders were more numerous
than last week, but drop in buyers
arrivals in central markets tended
to curtail wholesale activity slightly.
AS seasonal winter business con.
tinued to taper off small recorders
on new lines took up most of the
slack.
although heavy recorder business
would have to await the test of con-
sumner acceptance, sellers appeared
confident that this buying would
develop somewhat earlier than usual,
partly because of the early date Of
Easter, but mainly because of the
light initial orders in relation to the
current level of retail sales.

sales during the week-estimated at
no more than per cent-failed to
