Shoe managers queried this morning gave almost Identical answers some increase in cus tomers but sales up very little due to low stocks. One store said sales were up about 10 per rent this morning and that fur ther Increases would probably result from afternoon sales, always heavier than morning business. Two others said they were " little busier than usual" and both of these agreed that a great many people, who have been asking for shoes fruitlessly for the past several weeks, knew better than to rush down to the stores Just because rationing had ended. Wholesale houses are from three to four months behind shipments, it was said.
