By the Asseeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The dollar
volume of the Nations retail trade
has pulled abreast of last years
level on pickup in Christmas buy
ing, Dun & Bradstreet reported to-
day.
Retail volume for the country as
whole during the week ended We'd
nesday, said the Dun & Bradstreet
trade review, was estimated at 2 per
cent below to 2 per cent above last
year on a dollar basis.
BY regions the variations from
last year were: New England and
South, down 2 to up 2; East, down
to up 8; Midwest, unchanged to
up 4; Northwest, up 2 to 6; South
west. up to S, and Pacific Coast,
down 5 to /.
However, retail sales were up mod
erately to sharply from the previous
week. Shoppers turned out in good
numbers for Christmas promotions
and sales, but were generally more
choosy than last year.
The retail volume of wearing ap-
parel sales gained slightly. Wom-
ems dresses and accessories suitable
for gifts sold we'll. The demand for
mems apparel was low but haber-
dashery sales were good
Food purchases were up, particu-
larly meat. There was a moderate
decline in interest in furniture and
housewares, and the demand for
major appliances was down slightly.
However, toys for the kiddies' stock
ings sold better than a year ago and
general items suitable for gifts also
went over well.

f949 Business Drop
OF at Least 5 Pei.
Forecast by Babson
By Edword G. Stone

General business activity in 1949
may decline at least per cent be-
low 1948, but there will be no burst
ing bubble" as in 1929, Arthur C.
Babson, vice president of Babson
Reports, Inc, said here yesterday.
Even with Government support, the
present business volume, now 80 per
cent above normal, cannot be main
tanned, he added.
Addressing an investment confer
ence at the Willard Hotel, Mr.. Bab-
son stated that long periods of abb
normal business prosperity are in
evitably followed by periods of
depression. He contended that dur
ing the next presidential term, busi-
ness volume will contract to a con-
siderable degree to normal and very
possibly we'll below normal.
Postwar Boom Seen at End.
Leonard Spangenberg, another Of
ficial, said it is very possible the
postwar boom is at an end. Even
though general activity declines at
least per cent below 1948, rela-
lively good business will continue,
he predicted.
Profits will be less in 1949 because
of increased competition and exag-
gerated costs of labor, materials,
equipment and distribution. 1t looks
as if taxes would not be reduced but
we are approaching the New Year
with the greatest backlog of buying
power in the country'S history.
The statistical expert predicted a
drop Of about 20 per cent in build
ing construction dollar volume. Au-
tomobile output should continue to
increase and the steel industry,s
capacity will rise.
Wholesale commodity prices will
work downward. There will be a
fourth round of wage increases,
starting next spring, averaging S
per cent, ne predicted.
Market Forecast Difficult.
Lafayette Quirin, investment ana
lyst, said next year will be an un-
businessmen. Viewing the national
and international situations, it is
difficult to see how the market can
move forward very much, he ex-
planned.
The basic program of having
money to buy stocks when they are
low should be followed. For income
with reasonable safety, he pointed
to such groups as drug, food, metal
and mining, retail trade and utility.
Babson officials look for some
economic jolts during 1949. They
are just ending national tour and
have been particularly impressed
by the number of used cars await
ing sale. They wonder what will
happen when the dealers really
start getting their money out of
them.
Heard in Financial District.
Arrangements have been made for
q S150,0O0 15-year 4 per cent mort
gage loan on supermarket being
built at 8706 Georgia avenue, Silver
Spring, G. Calvert Bowie reported
today. The loan is to LEGO, Inc, by
the Mutual Life Insurance Co. OF
New York.
Arthur M. Hill, who has resigned
as chairman of the National Security
Board, has been elected director OF
the International Telephone & Tele-
graph Corp. He is president OF the
National Association of Motor Bus
Operators and a member OF the
Metropolitan, Burning Tree and
Chevy Chase Clubs.
