Record Christmas Buying
Covers Longer Period
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Despite the wars inroads on con-
sumner markets, civilian purchasing
during the last four months of 1912
will total only about per cent less
than it did last year, while the
merchants dollar volume will be up
about 6 per cent, the Commerce
Department announced yesterday.
Therefore, despite the transition
toward war economy, which be-
comes more pronounced from month
to month. consumers will be able to
buy most goods they want this
Christmas and the dollar volume of
Christmas trade, spread over the
entire fourth quarter, will be the
highest on record" the department
said.
This years Christmas trade al
ready has been spread over greater
period than ever before, the de-
partment said, noting that October's
retail sales were the highest for any
month on record except December,
l94l Normally, the heavy Christ
mas buying does not start until late
November, but was spurred to an
earlier getaway this year by the
campaign to mail gifts to men over
seas. November and December sales
are not expected to show particu-
larly big increases over last year,
the department said.

Lakes Coal Traffic Urged
As Long as Possible
b. the Associated Pres

b the Associated Pres
Coal producers and ship operators
we're urged today by Solid Fuels
Co-ordinator Ickes to continue NOV
ing coal by Great Lakes carriers as
long as possible after the official
close of the lake shipping season
Saturday.
Ickes said this was necessary in
order to obtain maximum possible
use of the water carriers IN supply
ing the Great Lakes area with suffl-
Gent coal to meet this seasons
increased fuel requirements and
relieve the heavy burden on rail
transportation.
AS of November Is. he reported,
water carriers had moved As FOB ,645
tons of coal into the Great Lakes
region, compared with Al ,238 1863
tons during the comparable period
of 1941. He attributed the reduction
to diversion of vessels from carry
ing coal to iron ore.
While complete statistics are lack
ing, Ickes expressed the belief that
combined water and all-rail ship
ments set a record for total coal
shipped into the Great Lakes region
He added, however, that additional
coal was necessary to provide ade-
quote wartime fuel protection to
consumers in that region.

Stock Prices Narrow
And Irregular in
Quiet Dealings
Scattered Peace Shares
Gain, but War Issues
Remuin Backward
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-It may
have been too much turkey dinner
Thursday, but both the buying and
selling appetite in today's stock
market displayed signs of satiation
and minor irregularity ruled
throughout slow session.
Scattered peace issues did fairly
we'll and while the war infants never
were subjected to any real chas-
tisement, the majority remained in
the faltering column. Most brokers
were a bit surprised that the former
were not more responsive to the
cheerful news from virtually all
world battlefronts. Tax offerings
persisted as a recovery brake.
At any rate, the list was highly
selective from the start and. with
the ticker tape frequently hating,
plus marks had a trife the best
OF the argument near the close. In
dustrials were among the principal
gamers These generally operated
in fractions but there were a few
wider movers Rails and steels
