CHRISTMAS TRADE
Auckland Prospects Thought Good s RATHER LATER START Dominion Special Service. AUCKLAND, December 9.
Though prospects for seasonal trade are considered to be fully , equal to those of last year, weather vagaries are regarded us a principal factor contributing to a somewhat later start: in Christmas shopping activity. However, satisfaction with the results of this week’s business was expressed by . retailers today, and there is a. possibility of new records being established when Hie frenzy of gift-buying becomes more intense over .the next fortnight..
Retailers approached were unanimous in the opinion Unit business transacted up Io the present stage was at least equal to that of the corresponding period of last year, and in some cases figures for early December in .1937 were eclipsed by the returns this month. In view of the weather, this result is considered to be an excellent; criterion for later trade.
