Henry Kling, manager Of the local credit bureau. In Bismarck credit sales increased 31 per cent and retail collections ad- vanced four per cent over the same 30-day period in 1933, Kling said. Mandan credit sales were slightly be- low the 1933 level but collections were nine per cent higher. Over the natign the buying public for the third consecutive month is re- ported as paying retail bills more Promptly and to be buying more from the retail stores, Kling reported after scanning a report of the Research di- vision of the National Retail Credit association. Continued increases indicate that the public is buying more freely and with greater confidence in the future, Kling said. Sales on credit for No- vember were reported as 14.6 per cent higher than November, 1933, while re- tail collections are nine per cent higher for the same period. Most important, they show that recovery is actually under way, as retail business is the “nation’s barometer.” Of the 62 cities reporting, repre- senting 18,000 retailers, 5¢ show in- creases in collections, five report de= creases, and three, no change. In sales on credit, 56 report increases, only one reports a decrease and two veport no change.

The slack- ening in sales of wool was being at- tributed largely to holiday influences, and was, therefore, causing no par- ticular concern: The approach of the year-end holiday season fre- quently has been attended by a de- cline in activity of wool.
