Rays of better business at hcinc ! last week to break through the gkxun j of the European crisis. The business world's avid scanning j of war reports caused many of its j leaders to overlook the fart that mistrial activity here. as measured by the Associated Prers index, hit a j new top for the year and edged ahead of the temporary peak of last i fan. The stock market, for instance, reacted almost entirely to foreign re j per is. Retail trade kept pace, generally with the faster step of industry, and a federal reserve board smvey shew 1 ed that in the latest week for which data is available department store; j sales were 6 per cent above the corresponding week last year. .Likewise, the commerce depar&ie'pt said that 2,973 wholesale firms, representing 23 different trader report tng July sales of more than SU>.700.000, which was 6 per cent more than in the same month last year. Higher steel and cotton manufacturing rates. both at new 1030 peaks, -contributed most to the boosting or the Associated Press industrial index to a high for tin year or' P5.1 j per cent of the 1929-30 averages.
