Gains were also made by chain drua store sales, life insurance sales, elecgoods and bank debits. Pig iron-production, blast furnace operations, building contracts, stone production, automobile accessoriees, department store sales, new car registrations, postoffice receipts, live stock receipts and advertising dropped slightly during July.
