NEW YORK, March 1. (AP Dun
& Bradstreet in Its weekly trade re
view said today there has developed
more genuine realization of the
soundness of basic conditions to sup
port the expansion toward which all
indicators now point.
"The lifting of the production level
of manufacturing plants and a grad
ual decrease In the number of un
employed sklllpd workers provide un- j
questioned proof of an accelerated !
rate of activity," the review said. j
Merchandise Prices Up
"Prices on most giades of merchan- ;
dis are considered to have passed
definitely the low points, and ad-
vances In many Items are scheduled I
for the Immediate future."
On retail trade the survey reported
most divisions active with no gains
of consequence Indicated over the
previous week.
Vagaries of the weather chiefly ,
were responsible for the checking ol
the uptrend. For the distribution of
merchandise In nearly all lines, how
ever, a quicker rata was reached than
when the month opened.
Rcutllers See Gain
"Encouraged by the strength of the
demand In evidence during the past
two months, retailers now sre mak
ing preparations for the largest
spring selling season in five years,
and many have revised upward their
earlier estimates of merchandise
needs, particularly in the wearing ap
parel, furniture, hardware and elec
trical appliance divisions."
On the wholesale trade, it was re
ported, "while Individual orders are
running larger and trade generally
Is progressing at a satisfactory pace,
the volume of business placed In
wholesale markets was smaller than
that recorded a week earlier. The
lull Is viewed as only temporary.
Much of the spring buying Is yet to
be completed.
