Monthly Wholesale Trade: Sales and Inventories (BW)

Provides data at the United States level showing estimates of sales, inventories on a non-LIFO ("last in-first out") basis, and stock-sales ratios for merchant wholesalers, by major kind-of-business groups, for the current month, previous month, and current month previous year estimates. Data are adjusted for seasonal variations and, in the case of sales, for trading-day differences.
