520			_aLatest monthly Distributive Trades Survey published by the CBI shows that retailers had an unexpected boost in July. Sales grew at their fastest rate since April 2002. 54% of the respondents said that sales were up compared with the same month last year while 27% said they were down. It is debatable whether this growth would continue for the rest of the summer as it is heavily dependent on borrowing.
