ADVANCE MONTHLY RETAIL SALES SUMMARY - JUNE 1995 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 $196.0 billion, an increase of 0.7 percent (+/-1.3%) from the previous month and up 5.9 percent (+/-1.9%) from June 1994. Total sales in the second quarter were 5.8 percent (+/-1.8%) above the same quarter a year ago. The April to May 1995 percent change was revised from +0.2 percent (+/-1.3%) to +0.9 percent (+/-0.5%). Durable goods increased 1.3 percent (+/-2.3%) from May and were 8.6 percent above June 1994. Automotive dealers sales were up 11.3 percent from last year. Nondurable goods increased 0.3 percent (+/-1.2%) from last month and were 4.1 percent above last year. General merchandise sales were up 5.9 percent from June 1994 while gasoline sales were up 6.7 percent during the same period. 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, 1995 at 8:30 a.m.\RN 10 01 00 101 TABLE 1A: ESTIMATED ADVANCE MONTHLY RETAIL SALES--JUNE 1995 Adjusted for Seasonal, Holiday and Trading-day Differences (Millions of Dollars) 1995 SIC Kind of business code June May Apr. adv. prel. final Retail trade, total........... 196,044 194,740 193,022 Total (excl. auto group).. 148,138 147,743 146,964 Durable goods, total........ 78,615 77,612 76,549 52 Building mat., hardware, garden supply, and mobile home dealers.. 10,236 10,148 10,278 521,3 Building mat. and supply stores.
