The store went down 17,000 in June

Stores climbed out of the pit in June, as after a 10% drop in April and a cling in May, shoppers brought in their wallets and the previous year’s spending level in the last month (the unadjusted volume index was 0.8%). In this, of course, there were differences between the individual commodity areas, there were places where there was more, there were places where less money flowed out of the coffers of the families.
