For this reason it is estimated that in comparison with last yei'r' allowance should be made for an increase in sales of ..bout 5 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 .
