TRADE ADVANCES
ON BROAD FRONT
Weeks Gain Lifts Store
Sales 3 to'*12 Per Cent
Above Year Ago.
By the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Dec. 17-As shoppers
swarmed into stores to buy Christmas
gifts and winter merchandise, retail
trade this week jumped 4 to 10 per
cent above last week for the country
as a whole, and ran to IL per cent
above last year, Dun & Bradstreet re-
ported today.
Earlier lag in the buying Of Christ
mas and seasonable merchandise was
replaced by a concerted forward lunge
at most leading centers Of distribu-
tion," said the credit agency.
Christmas shopping superseded
other consumer buying in retail stores
this week, which pushed sales on some
days to new high for the period.
Because Of the recent shift to mod
erately-priced items, gains over last
years comparatives frequently were re-
stricted. While unit sales, in many
instances, were of small denominations,
their multiplicity cut deeply into in
ventories, removing merchants appre-
tensions of heavy carry-overs."
Seasonable dullness was accentuated
in a number Of principal wholesale
markets, Dun g. Bradstreet said, but
volume for the country as whole was
l to per cent above the compartive
1885 week. Rush replacement orders
for Christmas gifts and heavy apparel
contributed most of the activity.
Buying Of gifts in the New England
States lifted retail sales up to last
years level for the first time in several
weeks. 1t was reported. Retail sales
in the East were to 10 per cent above
a year ago, in the Middle West up 6
to Is per cent, in the Northwest up
5 to IL per cent, South, 3 to 8 per
cent, Southwest, 4 to 10 per cent, and
Pacific Coast, 2 to S per cent.

Alternatives Considered.

CEVERAL suggestions have been
made, among them being:
/. Complete abolition of the stymie.
2. Abolition of the stymie excepting
when self-laid.
3. The device adopted some years
ago of permitting the competitor far
ther from the hole to concede the
putt Of his opponent.
4. Extend the stymie distance to,
say, 10 inches, thus giving recognition
to the livelier character of the present
ball.
S. Amending the rule to provide
that the ball nearer the cup shall be
lifted If it lie within either 10 inches
Of the hole or 10 inches of the oppo-
nents ball.
These alternatives are receiving the
most careful consideration of the as
sociation's Executive and Rules Com
mittees.
Abandonment of a rule which has
been in effect for $50 or more years
and of the basic principle of playing
the ball from tee to cup as it lies is
not to be made without the most Sc
rious consideration of the best inter-
ests OF the game, of which the officials
of the association regard themselves as
trustees.
