Higher Retail Sales
Lead Quickening
OF Business Pace
By Waiter Breede. Jr.
Assccioted Press Business Writer

3 NEW YORK. Sept. 11.-Sharp-
ly higher retail sales set the
pace this week for a general
quickening in the tempo of the
Nations business.
It was. apparent that the ira.
ditional post-Labor Day upswing
Fight be running a little behind
schedule in some lines. notably
steel and autos.
Dun & Bradstreet said retail
business for the week ended
Wednesday easily topped that
of the previous week. Sales were
from 5 to 8 per cent ahead of
1858.
Government statisticians not
ed that department store sales
were running 13 per cent ahead
of last year.
The Commerce Department
and the Securities and Exchange
Commission estimated that busi-
ness firms will spend $26,687,-
100000 this year on new plant
and equipment, the second best
year on record.
Biggest spenders include the
auto industry, which has in
creased its capital investment
program 80 per cent over last
year Largest decline is shown
by the railroads. They plan to
spend 35 per cent less.
Construction spending in Au-
gust set a new record of So bill
lion-up 8 per cent from a year
ago. Construction contract
awards also continued at a rec
ord clip.
August employment totaled
So million-a slight increase over
July.
Electric power output was UP
as per cent over 1858.
s The Labor Day holiday cut
steel output to 62.9 per cent OF
capacity, but production is ex-
pected to rise substantially from
here on.
Scrap prices are firming up.
Steelmakers report increased or
dering by automobile and ap-
pliance manufacturers.
Auto production is down to its
lowest level since November 1858
and probably won't get back into
high gear much before November
].
Prices of hogs and coffee
moved lower again this week. A
general downtrend in farm prices
was cited by the Agriculture De-
partment as the chief reason fol
q six. per cent drop in farm in

A decline in United States ex-
