Retail Sales Soar to 22 Per j
Cent Above Same 1936 '
|
Period in Week.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 24.—Most
divisions of trade displayed a more
aggressive stride this week, with
quickening retail distribution the out
standing feature, Dun Ac Bradstreet
said today in the weekly review of!,
business.
Retail sales for the country as a
whole were estimated at from 3 to
7 per cent ahead of the preceding
week and from 8 to 22 per cent better
than for the comparable 1936 period.
“As strength of consumer purchas
ing power was revealed by the intensi
fied interest in a wide range of sea
sonal goods,” the agency said, “buyers
in wholesale markets covered with
less caution the balance of their Fall
requirements.
“Although makers of automobiles
and steel were at the season's low, and
curtailment proceeded at many textile
mills, operations in other industrial
divisions maintained or lengthened
the advantage over those of a year
ago.”
The review noted as an indication
of widening consumer demand that
the interest of shoppers extended to
virtually all retail store offerings this
week, whereas in the preceding week
there was a marked tendency to con
centrate on wearing apparel.
“The purchasing trend continued
toward the higher priced, better qual
ity merchandise.” the review said,
adding that "moderate mark-ups were
taken as a matter of course.”
Percentage increases over a year
; agu me ninjui tiwtrjs hi Aug
land ranged from 5 to 12; Eastern
States, 10 to 20; Middle Western, 10
to 20; Northwest, 14 to 20; Southern,
12 to 18; Southwest, 15 to 25, and
Pacific Coast, 10 to 18.
On the wholesale front, reports to
the agency indicated purchasing power
in the rural sections had been well
sustained at recent levels.
“Business sent in by road salesmen,”
the review said, "generally surpassed
the volume in urban centers.”

EFFECT OF STOCK
SLUMP DEBATED
3ross-Currents Still at Work,
With Important Industries
Curtailing Outputs.
Special Dispatch The Star.
NEW YORK, September 24.—In
its weekly summary of the general
business situation the Standard Sta
tistics Co. of New York currently
comments as follows:
“Numerous cross-currents are still
at work in the business situation, but
in the main the trend of activity is
still moderately downward. A num
ber of important industries are cur
tailing production, as backlogs built
up earlier in the year are being
steadily reduced and new orders have
failed to come up to earlier expecta
tions. This is particularly true in
such industries as textiles, steel, cop
per and brass products and shoes.
"It is difficult to forecast to what
extent the sharp decline in security
prices wdll affect industrial volumes
over the remainder of the year. The
security market recession has natu
rally had a sobering effect on senti
ment, and the slackness in new order
ing is a clear Indication that man
agements are following conservative
policies.
“Aggregate manufacturing activity
is still holding well above last year's
levels, but, with the exception of the
important automobile industry, none
of the major lines is likely to show
much, if any, improvement from pres
ent levels over the next several
months. The trend of textile activity
Is still downward: mill schedules are
being reduced, and, because of an
uncertain price structure, new buying
continues light. Building activity is
continuing to lag. and the seasonal
trend will be downward until the
early months of next year.”

EXCESS RESERVES
r i
Board Reports No Change
in Federal Securities
Portfolios in Week.
By the Associated Press.
Lendable bank funds, reflecting ef
fects of the administration’s "easy
money" policy, Increased $140,000,0f)0 ’
during the week ended September 22,
The Federal Reserve Board placed
the total supply of “excess reserves,"
or Idle bank funds, at $1,020,000,000.
Under a joint Treasury-Resewe
Board credit policy, the Treasury re
leased J300.000.000 of gold from its "
“sterilized” account. The release had
the effect of channeling additional
funds into the Nation's banking struc
ture, increasing the supply available
for lending and tending to ease credit
conditions.
The policy also involves Reserve
Board purchasing of Government se
curities on the open market. The
board's report, however, said no change
was made in the Reserve banks’ Fed
eral portfolio during the week ended
September 22.
Money in circulation declined $25,
000,000 during the week to $6,529,
000,000. This also was a factor in
lifting excess reserves above the bil
lion-dollar level.
Changes in member bank reserve
balances and related items during the
week and the year ended September
22, 1937, were reported as follows:
