Trade Report Shows March Retail Gains Across Regions
The Volume of Retail Business this time larger than last year with Easter timing shifting. Returns from R G Don & Co Weekly Review of Trade indicate improvement in many trades and districts though overall trade remains below 1893 figures. Encouraging wholesale results, settled labor disputes, and rising demand for manufactured goods lift sentiment though pricing remains flat amid strong sales. Wool sales rose to 6,673,100 pounds versus 4,615,200 last year with no price rise expected amid abundant receipts of foreign wool.
