RETAIL TRADE
MAKES RECORD .
DURING YEAR
Results Of First Five
Months Exceed Those Of
Any Year For Simila
Period. ‘
Retail business in the five months
ending May 30, exceed all previouiz
records for volume for the corres-
ponding period of a year. the l-‘cd»
29. in a statement declaring that the
sales in May had surpassed those at
April. Weather conditions favorable
to sales of scasonable merchandise.
were reflected in the May business
reports which showed a general in-
crease mcr April and over May.
1925.
The Minneapolis Federal Reserve
District was the only area In which
the retail stores reporting to the
Federal licscrvc Banks failed to
show an incynse in May over April.
Some of the districts averaged in-
crcnscs of in per cent. These in—
cluded Philadelphia. Atlanta. Chica-
go and St. Louis.
A «took turnover of about 6 per
cent greater than in May. 1925, was
observed by the board from its re-
ports. This increase was attributed
movement of the merchandise at a
time when the stocks carried were
little. if any. larger.
The full statement by the board
on retail trade in the United States
was as follows:
Trade at retail stores reporting to
the Federal reserve system was lar-
ger in May than in April. Sales of
department stores. 5 and lo cent
variety chain stores. and shoe chain
stores increased more than usual in
May. but sales of mail-order houses
and grocery chain stores declined.
Weather conditions were generally
more favorable for spring trade in
May than in the preceding month.
The growth in sales of seasonal mer-
chandise was largely a result of this
factor.
Compared with May a year ago
sales were generally larger. and for
the .‘ive months ending in May. to-
tel sales of all the reporting stores
were larger than for the corre-
sponding period in any preceding
year for which records are available.
Department store sales averaged 7
per cent larger for the country as a.
whole than in May of last year.
