Prices ease may lift spring retail volume on Main Street
An inside story from economists notes a rise in physical retail volume as spring trade opens, aided by lower prices in key lines. December retail sales reached about 14.6 billion, 2 percent below last year, with 1951 total at 151 billion, up 5 percent from 1950. Lower prices for home appliances and clothing are anticipated, while 1951 savings may exceed 1943–45 war peaks, and 1952 fertilizer inputs are forecast higher.
