today that nearly all the second AIS

would sell above par.

This years Christmas Savings
Clubs, conducted by 81 Washington
banks, show an increase Of s per cent
in the number Of accounts over the
record total Of 1926 and gain of al.
most 10 per cent in the amount of
money subscribed to be paid during
the present year.
The advertising committee of the
District Bankers Association, which
conducted the cooperative campaign
and placed the advantages of Christ
mas savings clubs before the public.
today announced the results of the
drive. After the early months Of the
year no new members join, as there
would be too many weekly back pay

In submitting its report, the COM
mittee gave the number Of accounts
opened for the present year as 1915
and the total amount subscribed to be
paid in during the 12 months as
$5 994.903.
The report for 1925 showed that
66.270 accounts were opened that
year. In 1925, when all previous rec

the number Of local accounts reached
1855. And now comes the report of
1880 more accounts this year than
were opened a year ago.
Comparison of the amounts sub.

1925 this total was $4,447,741. In 1925

gain over last year of $449,936 and
reveals an interest in Washington in

consider amazing.

NEW YORK, March S.-The stocl
market readily absorbed the heav,
offerings which came upon it today
and many prominent industrials evel
showed an ability to work higher ate
liquidation had been completed. In
element favoring further reaction
made the most Of the substantial In
crease reported in brokers loans afte
the close of business last night. Over
night selling orders had accumulate
in large volume. Industrials and ram
with few exceptions were carried
down substantially within the course
of the first hour. But the manner IL
which such stocks as General Motors

oils and railway equipments absorbed
this iiuuidation left no doubt that th'
undertone of the market still wa!
strong.
The motor shares appeared TO b'
chiefly concerned with the technlca
position of the market for this class
of, stocks. The early reaction carried
General Motors down points tt

around the low for the day indicated

was pressed for sale at new low prices
for the year. The fact that the com

more than 81. compared with 1913 {

with what had been generally an
ticipated. Timken was offered dowr
more than a point when it changed
hands under SIS.
Reports concerning the Oil industry
were not as unfavorable as they haC
been recently. The decline in domes
