Clothing and clothing accessories stores, sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores, and furniture and home furnishings stores saw a double-digit rise. Motor vehicle and parts dealers were also up 4.9 percent, led by higher activity at new car dealers and at automotive parts, accessories and tire stores.
