Department store sales in Wash.

ing four weeks ended December 80

Fifth district sales were up II
per cent over last year, Baltimore

other cities 20 per cent over 1889
the report stated.
Washington stores reported a sur
prising gain of 96 per cent in sales
for the week ended December %
compared with the corresponding
week ended December 30, 1889.
This years report included two
shopping days just before Christ
mas Day, while a year ago the sum-
mary included none. this fact
largely accounting for the startling
advance.
Trade for the week ended Decem-
Der % in the fifth district was up

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Wheat prices
chalked up gains of almost a cent
today, rising to the best levels in
about a month.
Buying was inspired largely by re-
ports of improved flour demand and
fear of possible damage to young
winter wheat plants as a result of
cold weather where there is no snow
protection. Recent reports told of
wheat greening in some parts of the
Southwest and the forecast indi-
Gated cold weather is spreading
down into Kansas.
Strength in securities, following
yesterdays late rally, also had a
bulliSh effect on grains. May wheat
pushed up to around 88 cents a
bUshel during the first hour.
With No 2 red and hard winter
wheat quoted at 5 cents or better
premiums over May contracts, an
advance Of IL to cents the past
week, traders said the spot market
contributed to strength of futures.
However. elevator grain is at a dis
count under country run receipts.
At II am. wheat was 14-as higher
compared with yesterdays finish,
May, 87as; July, 82A, and corn was
unchanged to 4 up, May, 627s; July,

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The stock
market today dug in to consolidate
Fridays laSt-minute rally and the
result was almost a stalemate be-
tween moderate gains and losses
during the brief session.
SteelS and motors stumbled after
yesterdays brisk upswing as did
many other climbers. Quiet strength
was displayed by selected issues
and closing prices were no worse
than irregular.
Dealings were fairly lively at
intervals but apathetic periods vera
frequent. Transfers for the two
hours approximated 100000 shares,
about half last Saturdays turnover.
Brokerage quarters seemed heart
ened by reports large blocks of
American securities scheduled for
liquidation by the British were being
taken over by private syndicates.
These overhanging stocks and bonds
we're believed to have acted as an
important brake on recent recovery
attempts.
While business prospects still were
comforting to bulliSh forces, the
question of how far the Government
would intervene in the matter of
defense prioritieS evidently tended
to restrain some potential pur-
chaserS.
Others inclined to step carefully
pending the presidential message to
Congress Monday.
Universal Pictures preferred,
wide swinger of the past several
weeks, shot up to another new peak
for the past year, along with Savage

Although the NAACP re-

Roosevelt, seeking to put an
end to such brutalities and
thwarting attempts to white
