ADVANCE MONTHLY RETAIL SALES SUMMARY - JUNE 1994 The Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce announced today that advance estimates of U.S. retail sales for June adjusted for seasonal, holiday, and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $183.8 billion, an increase of 0.6 percent (+/-1.3%) from the previous month and were 6.6 percent (+/-1.8%) above the same month a year ago. Total sales in the second quarter were 6.8 percent (+/-1.6%) above the same quarter a year ago. The April to May 1994 percent change was revised from -0.2 percent (+/-1.3%) as published in the May advance, to -0.4 percent (+/-0.4%). Durable goods were up 11.4 percent from the previous year. Building materials were up 13.9 percent from June 1993 while automotive dealers and furniture were up 14.6 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively, in the same period. Nondurable goods were up 3.7 percent from June 1993. General merchandise stores were up 7.2 percent from the previous year. The advance estimates are based on a small subsample of the Bureau's full retail sales sample. Estimates from the advance and the subsequent full survey can differ because of the earlier reporting in the advance and because of sampling variability present in both surveys. The Advance Monthly Retail Sales Report for July is scheduled to be released August 11, 1994 at 8:30 a.m. TABLE 1A: ESTIMATED ADVANCE MONTHLY RETAIL SALES--JUNE 1994 Adjusted for Seasonal, Holiday and Trading-day Differences (Millions of Dollars) 1994 SIC Kind of business code June May Apr. adv. prel. final Retail trade, total........... 183,814 182,705 183,429 Total (excl. auto group).. 141,237 140,666 140,480 Durable goods, total........ 72,172 71,604 72,388 52 Building mat., hardware, garden supply, and mobile home dealers.. 10,790 10,509 10,557 521,3 Building mat. and supply stores.
