Smul|er Gain Foreseen
In RetuiI Volumes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July ia gain Of
4 to S per cent in retail sales for
the full year 1910 is expected by
Standard Statistics Co.
A current survey by that organ
ization predicts that retail sales in
the second half may show smaller
year to year gains than during the
first six months of the year because
of the exceptionally large sales in
the latter part of 1899.
However, with a higher level Of
industrial production and rising
trend of national income under the
Government spending program, re-
tail trade is expected to hold at
levels sufficient to enable q full year
gain of 4 or per cent. Some lines
promise to make an even better
showing. the survey said.
