p—-Preliminary.
1/ During March and April changes from 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 iff .estimated that in comparison with last year allowance shquld be .
mude for an increase in sales 'of about 3 per cent for the month of March as a
. : whole -and for a corresponding decrease for the month of April as a whole.
# '.The large increase for this week reflects in part the fact, that last year 'sales ;'
• were reduced because of a. power shortage.
