Merchants across the country told United Press that consum ers still resisted prices even though Regulation W, which covered down payments and in stallment plan buying, was re moved last May 7.

Border Respected Madame Taskeran, who is on a three-month visit to this country, said, however, that the dividing line between the two countries is honored rather Btrictly.

But the merchants expressed confidence a boom in buying would start soon. "It's like a man carrying a load on his back," an automo bile association executive said. "When the load is taken off, it takes him a while to realize it." Upswing Normal Automobile sales Jumped 20 per cent at Louisville, Ky., and on the west coast, but a Califor nia Automobile association offi cial said the upswing was "nor mal" since sales there had been down. John S. Meek, president of a television chain, said in Chicago that his stores in 16 cities indi cated a 25 per cent increase in sales during the first week after credit controls were removed. Big department stores in San Francisco indicated there had been no appreciable change in buying. "Business is damned poor," an official of Weinsteln's at San Francisco said. Small merchants in Detroit advertised "no down payments" without getting the kind of re sponse they wanted. Livestock Portland (U.P.I Cattle 1.000.
