NEW YORK. Dec. S-Despite
efforts of railway officials and

the movement of grain in the Mid
west and West continues tight.
Al present it is estimated that
450 elevators are closed. They are
filled with grain and cannot re-
open because of lack of cars TO
move the grain.
Aggravating the present tight
situation is the unprecedented
movement of grain and -four for

the normal movement of grain

Consequently. the federal re-

The value of department store
sales in October was l. per cent
higher than in the corresponding
month last year. while cumulative
sales during the first 10 months Of
this year were IL per cent larger
than a year ago. There is now no
question that department store
