The trend was down from the

Department stores have been doing a rushing basinets this year, due
largely to the unusual expansion tn factory employment and pay
rolls. The remainder of 1941 is expected to witness a continuation
of favorable sales volume, despite some current buying at the ex
pense of future business. The above graph shows department store
sales in the Pacific coast area for August and the first eight months

Prices Drop
CHICAGO, Oct 9 -(ff)- Grain
prices tumbled 1 to 3 cents a
bushel ' and soybeans more' than
4 cents at one time Thursday as
commodity: values retreated due
to selling which traders said was
stimulated principally by Russian
war news.
Wheat closed 1-2V4 cents
lower than Wednesday, Decem
ber - $1.18-, May $L23-,
at the lowest level in almost three
weeks. v ;r ,;
All cereals were depressed by
scarcity of termina Imarket stor
age space, which tended to limit
demand from commercial and in
dustrial interests. Despite this,
larger receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth were reported.
