Wholesale sales rose 0.2 per cent in April:
Statistics Canada says wholesale sales rose 0.2 per cent in April to $49.0 billion, mainly as a result of higher sales in the computer and communications equipment and supplies industry.
The Commerce Department said Friday wholesale inventories rose 0.8 percent in July, but sales were unchanged in the month, the poorest showing since a 0.3 percent drop in sales in May.
