Good Easter Business Seen for Merchants New York, April 6. — Department stores expect Easter business this year will equal last year’s, judging from sales to date. Business Week reports. March's sales were in line with expectations, and dollar volume for the month will probably be about six per cent lower than that of last March. This is explained by the fact that Easter came early last year (March 24) while this year it comes on April 17. Much of the Easter bus iness, therefore, will be retordecT in April. The magazine says stores expect btfying will hit its peak a lot nearer the Easter deadline this year than last. This last-minute buying should be reflected in the sales picture for April. The article warns against misirt- terpretation of spectacular sales tig-1 ures that might be published in the netx few weeks. If the gains over a year ago aren’t big, it will mean that department store sales are really in a slump this season. “Stores’ dollar volume should au tomatically rack up sharp percent age gains over >1048 levels in the last week of April,” Business Week ex plains. “For one thing, 1949 sales will be rising to their Easter crest, whereas sales in the same period of 1948 w’ere receding from it. More over, the very fact that buyers are leisurely in their Easter buying 'now, probably means the last week will show an abnormally large gain.” County Spelling Contest April 16 Special to The Chronicle.
