BY EDWARD C. STONE.

With Christmas trade already
moving at very lively pace sales
IN Washington department stores
for the week ended Saturday, No.
vember 20, were 18 per cent higher
than IN the corresponding period a
year ago, the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond reported yesterday.
The gain for the whole fifth dis
trict was also Is per cent, while
business in Baltimore was up 16 per
cent and IN group of other cities
sales jumped Is per cent over last
year.
That trade in the Capital Is in
creasing Is indicated by a gain OF
per cent over the preceding week
this year. The advance in the NTH
district. was 10 per cent.
Cumulative sales in Washington
department stores in the four weeks
ending November 20 showed 10
per cent rise over the like 1912
period. Trade in the fifth district
stepped up 9 per cent, in Baltimore,
6, and In other cities, %.
Despite shortages in some lines of
goods, merchants believe Capital
sales for the holidays and for the
full year will be we'll ahead OF 1912
In the first 10 months sales in the
city were up per cent, but recent
| weekly reports indicate this cumu-
lative figure is higher now.
