Advances in the prices of cotton
cotton goods and tire fabric we're
responsible for an upturn in the tex

to decline.
A markup in the price of steel
scrap caused a small rise in the
metal group average. In the mis-

Christmas Clubs Equal 1910.
Following the closing on January
Il of further enrollments in the 1941
Christmas savings clubs in 20 Wash
ington banks, it was learned today
that both the number of subscribers
and the amounts subscribed in the
new clubs will be very close to the
same figures in 1910.
Higher totals were forecast in
many banks when the 1941 clubs
were opened on December l. The
clubs started off at very lively pace.
But many of the banks which have
had $50 clubs in the past dropped
that classification this year, result
ing in a reduction of a considerable
number of subscribers. Many of the
$50 subscribers did not move up to
the $100 class.
Several banks also changed their
Christmas savings club payment sys-
tenn this year making the payments
come twice a month instead of each
week. In the S100 clubs, this plan
requires payment Of 81 twice
month in place of the 81 weekly
payment. The banks made the
change to reduce the amount of
bookkeeping and also make the in
stallments due on Government pay
days, when the clubs members go
to the banks to deposit their regular
checks.
More than 10000 members joined
the 1899 clubs and subscribed more
than S7,0OO.OO0. A certain number
failed to make the full years pay
ments, but a ma jority of the mem
bers provided for many Christmas
needs in this way. Last year the
average amount subscribed per
member was $88.16, compared with
a national average per capita of
only $3.50.
Firm Gets $4,000 Order.
