Consumer confidence will be

the relatively few trading days
remaining, traditional Deem
Der shopping could recover lost
ground. Retail trade in the first
10 months was running ahead of
1862, even if it faltered in the fl

But businessmen will be more
concerned in their planning per-

what they call the business eli

demonstrated by the reaction of
many businessmen to the en-
counter of President Kennedy
