'1/ During March and" April changes f.rom 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 thai in comparison-*with last year allowance should be
made for,an increase in sales of about 3 perjcent for the month of March as a
whole and-for a.corresponding decrease for the month of April as a who+e.
f Sales in this week were reduced owing to a curtail^me^; in
transportation
