War and adverse weather were blamed by merchants for gener ally disappointing retail trade during the past week. Dun & Bradstrpet md tod?y in its ekly survey. Retail volume for the nation was estimated 2 to 5 percent higher than last year. "The only region to maintain its year-to-year increase," as serted the Teview, "was the middle west where industrial centers recorded gains averag ing 5 to 11 percent. Sales in the east were a little under a year ago, the total decrease be ing no more than 3 percent. "Retailers continued to buy as close to the vest as possible. For the most part the only orders placed during the week were to round out summer stocks or promotional lines. Wholesalers pointed out. however, that the slowing down in trading by no means signi fies a disruption of markets. Although retailer sentiment is said to have been quite deeply affected by recent develop ments abroad, few attempts have been made to withdraw orders or put pressure on prices."
