Sept. 2. The which buying followed spree the outbreak of hosof July and August tilities in Korea, was not quite as intense as it seemed while it was going on, and it appears to be drop- Bank ping off, the Federal Reserve of Richmond said today. The statement was made in the Reserve bank's Monthly conditions' Review of business and financial in the Fifth Federal Reserve District, which comprises Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and the District of Columbia. Department store sales in the Fifth District were 20 per cent higher in July than in the same month of.

1949, the bank said, but August figures were, easing downward. The July gain, however, was sufficient to push department store sales indexes into new high ground. With sales declining, it appears likely, the bank said, that the July record will stand for some time. The buying wave at the consumer level sent the store scurrying for new supplies. Outstanding -orders of stores reporting their figures to SHIRTS PANTS Work Shirts And Pants Fit-Perfected for Comfort and Good Looks On and off the Job.

Featured At ROSENBERG'S 05 Years Your Clother the Reserve bank rose 124 per cent from June to July to a level of. 61 per cent above that of a year previous. This was hardly indicative, however, of a strong inventory accumulation trend, the bank stated, because last year outstanding orders of these stores were at an extremely low level in relation to either inventories or sales. The bank noted that consumers were not dipping deeply into their savings to finance their buying spree. Cash sales were about the same as in the summer of 1949, while charge account credit was up 18 per cent and installment credit was up 44 per cent.

Savings bond redemptions showed no unusual increase, nor did savings accounts show appreciable change. Of other business conditions and trends, the bank had this to say: Furniture Retail furniture sales in July were at a far too high level to be sustained for any period of time without substantial wage increases or other income expansion. Automboiles- -Passenger car sales reached an all-time high in June, but showed irregularity in July, possibly because of dealer shortages. Demand, however, continues high. Construction- Contracts awarded in the Fifth District in July rose 24 per cent from June to a level 47 per cent ahead of a year ago.

Housing starts already underway will maintain building operations at high level probably well through the fall months. July and early August saw a substantial increase in contracts awarded for commercial and factory building and apartments and hotels. Factory contracts were double the volume of a year before, while apartment and hotel contracts jumped 71 per cent.
