For this reason it is erst:.: --,.„-d that in comparison with last year an allowance should be made for a do'-sic-vc. in r-^les of about 6 per cent for the month of March as a whole and for a cc% responding increase for the month of April as a whole. 2/ The decrease reflects in part the fact that sales this week were reduced because of a curtailment in public transportation service in the City of San Francisco.
