RETAIL TRADE INCREASE
Turn-over Up By 9.6 p.c. Retail trade turn-over for the last three months of last year was 9.6 per cent higher than the same quarter of the year before, according to the Government Statistician. Corrected for seasonal fluctuations, turn-over was 2.8 per cent up on the September quarter, while that quarter showed a 2.0 per cent rise on the three months to the end of June. The value of turn-over per head between the September and December quarters, adjusted to remove the effects of price and population changes as well as seasonal fluctuations, was 1.0 per cent higher. This can be compared with an increase of 1.2 per cent between the June and September 1963 quarters and an increase of 0.5 per cent between the March and June quarters. Stock values at the end of December were 4.6 per cent higher than a year earlier, and 2.6 per cent lower than at September 30 last year, the Government Statistician adds.
