AUSTIN, Texas — Two more
March business indexes, retail
sales and building permits, in
Texas showed fnixed tendencies
in comparison with previous
months, according to a report of
the University of Texas Bureau
of Business Research Monday.
Retail sales compared favorably
with February, but unfavorably
with March last year, while build-
ing permits showed a sharp in-
crease over the same month last
year but a decline from the pre-
vious month.
Reports from ninety representa-
tive establishments indicated that ]
retail sales were 26.5 per cent
greater in March than in Febru-
ary, but 5.4 per cent below March
last year.
. Dallas was the only city that
showed an actual increase in dol-
lar sales over both February and
March, 1934. Cities showing more
than the State average gain in-
cluded Tyler, San Antonio, Ei
Paso, Beaumont and Austin. The
fact that Easter was in March last
year, but in April, 1935, accounts
in part, at least for the unfavor-
able comparison, the bureau
pointed out.
Building permits in forty Tex-
as cities amounted to $1,883,340
in March, a 49 per cent gain over
the same 1934 month, but 12 per
cent below the February total.
For the first quarter of 1935 per-
mits showed 156 per cent gain
in comparison with the first 1934
quarter.
Cities showing gains over both
February and March last year are:
Amarillo, Austin, Beaumont, Cor-
pus Christi, Palestine, Pampa, San
Antonio, Tyler and Waco.
