Commerce Department figures for April also showed that while overall wholesale trade declined 3% in April, it was still 8% above the comparable month of 1955; nondurable goods were 5% below March but 4% higher than April 1955, while durable goods averaged 13% higher than a year ago. Both might get some help from the slight easing of credit. As for Detroit...
