' : 1/ During March and April changes frcm a year ago reflect in part the fact that last year Easter was on April 21 while this year it was on April 6. For this reason it is estimated that in comparison with last year an allowance should be made for aa increase in sales of about 6 per cent for the month of March as a whole and a •corresponding decrease for the month of April. These allowances apply to the figures for the United States. 2/ For description and weekly indexes for the period January 1937 to March 1952 see Federal Reserve Bulletin for April 1952, pp. 359-362.
