Retail Trade Aided
ByCooI Weather
And Fall Buying
By the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-The
total volume of retail trade in
creased this week, Dun & Brad
street reported today, but it con-
tinued slightly below a year ago.
Cool weather and increasing
consumer interest in fall goods
combined to raise the dollar VOL
ume of retail trade in the week
ended this Wednesday moderately
above that of the previous week."
the survey said.
1T continued to be slightly be-
low that of the high level of a year
ago. Unit volume in many lines
was about equal to that of the
similar week last year.
Shoppers bought more apparel
than in the preceding week. Many
stores with adequate stocks gen.
orally equaled their sales figures
OF a year ago. The demand for
children's apparel and campus
clothes remained high. There was
increased interest in women's
rayon dresses and worsted suits.
The retail volume of mems wear
rose slightly. Hats and shirts were
sought by many shoppers"
Retail volume was estimated at
2 to 6 per cent under year ago,
the survey showed. Percentage
changes by regions follow: New
England and Southwest down 4 to
8; East, Midwest and Northwest
down l to S; South down 2 to 6,
and Pacific Coast down 3 to Z.

World Sugar Output
Expected 10 Set New
Record Next Season
BY the Associated Press

World sugar output in the l949-
so crop year may set new record
two to four per cent above the
81 7,276,000 tons produced during
the season just ended, the Agri-
culture Department said yester-
day.
An expected cutback of about
100000 tons in, Cuban produc-
ton probably will be more than
offset, the department said, by
increases in other areas.
The production outlook was said
to be particularly significant since
two normally important export
areas, Java and Formosa, are
still far below prewar levels be-
cause of unsettled political con-
ditionS.
However, production in the ma
jor areas supplying the United
States is expected to decrease in
the new crop year. Present re-
ports indicate an output of about
100000 tons for the United
States, its insular possessions
Cuba and the Philippine Islands
While this production would be
about SIS per cent less than that
in the past season, it still would
be the fourth largest on record
and about % per cent greater
than the preWar average.
| Latest crop reports indicate a
small increase in mainland beet
production for 1949 and a larger
increase in mainland cane pro-
duction with a near record out
put possible.
Reviewing the past crop year
the department said the amount
of sugar consumed by civilians in
the United States in 1948 totalled
about 100000 tons, a new record
The department said total con-
sumption in 1949 probably will
continue high.
The department said that un-
less there are appreciable changes
in supply and demand factors
domestic prices should remain
firm the rest of the year and
above 1948 levels.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Buying
interest in railway stocks spanked
a faint rally in the market today
Demand perked up in the teeth
OF threatened strikes in two basic
industries-coal and steel.
The market got off to a slow
start after turnover had topped
l 100000 shares every day this
week but an expansion in business
accompanied the attempt to get
ahead. Many small early de-
clines were erased or converted
into minor gains. A good many
leading issues, at the same time.
refused to go along.
One theory offered by brokers
was that demand was stimulated
by yesterdays market action. An
early decline was stemmed and
some improvement shown in late
trading despite a distinctly omin-
Gus turn in the labor news.
A number of issues sold at the
years top prices. among them
International Paper, White Sewing
Machine, Houston Oil, Sunshine
Mining, Transamerica and Stand

Selective demand for railway
issues appeared in the bond mar
