Retail Trade Risinu
As Record Sale Of
Gifts Is Expected
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Retail
trade continued to rise in the
week ended Wednesday despite
mild weather in some parts of
the Nation, Dun & Bradstreet
reported today.
Most retailers exceeded sales
figures of a year ago although
the number failing to do so was
larger than a few months ago.
Early Christmas shopping was
about as brisk as a year ago and
retailers generally remained con-
f1dent the gift season would set
a new record.
Total dollar volume of retail
trade was estimated by Dun &
Bradstreet to be l to S per cent
higher than a year ago. Regional
estimates varied from COM
parable 1852 levels by the fol-
lowing percentages: New Eng
land, down 3 to up /; East, down
l to up 3; South and Midwest,
up l to 5; Northwest and
Southwest, up 2 to 6, and Pa
clf1c Coast. up 8 to z.
Gift items continued to be
favored by shoppers over outer
wear. But most retailers expected
a stropg upsurge of shopping in
coming weeks because many con-
sumerS have delayed buying for
their winter wardrobes. Apparel
purchases were about at the dol
lar level Of year ago.
Housewives boosted their food
shopping in preparation for
Thanksgiving, with the total
a m cunt spent Slightly larger
than a year ago.
Demand for household goods
rose slightly as gift buying
started in many sections. Par
ticularly popular were small
radios, broilerS, phonograph
equipment and toys. Television
sets were in rising demand, fol-
lowing some recent price cuts.

BY the Assoeioted Press
