The Increase in volume for the nation over the corresponding period last year was estimated at 5 to 13 percent.

The average gain for both New Eng land and the east was estimated at five to 11 percent, while the middle west, despite the slow turnover In drought stricken farm districts, was ahead by 8 to 16 percent. "Merchants In the south noted a freer spending mood resulting from the recent upward trend In cotton prices, and reported an average increase of 5 to 13 percent. The trade in the south west was 3 to 7 percent higher and In the northwest 4 to 9 per cent greater. Spottiness charac terized trends on the' Pacific coast, but most cities showed a total 3 or 4 percent above last year's." Wholesale markets settled down to their customary year end lull. 1939 SEAL SALES OVER LAST YEAR, A definite Increase In sale of Christmas seals over last year was Indicated in the first tabu lation, reported this week by Miss Helen Bums, Jackson coun ty chairman of the annual drive to combat tuberculosis.
