Dennis W. Cooper of the University of Texas Bureau of Business Research reports Texas retail sales rose 9 percent in the first half of 1968 versus 1967, with all major store categories up and autos leading durable goods. June sales were 4 percent below May but 2 percent higher than 1967. He cautions a slower second half due to a 10 percent federal tax surcharge and inflationary trends, but remains optimistic if conditions ease. Austin leads with a 14 percent gain followed by Fort Worth 12 percent, Dallas 11 percent, Houston 10 percent, San Antonio 9 percent, and El Paso 8 percent.
