Capital Easter Trade
To Set New Record,
Merchants Report
By Edword c. Stone

Washington department store ex-
ecutives yesterday predicted that
Easter sales this year will outstrip
all former records by large mar
gin. They base their forecasts on
the fact that normal business so
far this year has been holding up
extremely well and that Easter
trade has already reached a high
figure. Trade is exceeding the all
time records made year ago, mer-
chants said.
The Federal Reserve Bank Of
Richmond reported yesterday that
department store sales in Washing
ton in February were 81 per cent
ahead of February, 1915, and up
16 per cent in the first two months
of this year. Sales in 86 stores in
the Fifth District ran 18 per cent
ahead of last year in February and
Is per cent in the two months.
In a separate report, the Rich
mond Bank stated that sales in the
Capital for the week ended March
Is reflected further Easter trade
expansion with a gain of 10 per cent
over the comparable week a year
ago. Sales were off per cent from
the previous week but in the four
weeks ending March 16 were II per
cent higher than in the like 1945
period. "

Stock Market Edges
IrreguIarly Higher
Al Week 'sCIose
By Victor Eubonk
.Assoeioted Press Financial Writer

SeNssoSfoteo FTess FihoHCldt Wftfef
NEW YORK, Mar. 23.-Irreg-
uiarly higher tendencies persisted
in today's stock market after week
of general recovery.
While many leaders wavered from
the start of the brief session, prices
stiffened in a number of cases dur
Ing the final half hour and gains
of fractions to or more points
predominated at the close. Rails
and assorted industrials led the
quiet forward swing.
I Only 779 issues registered against
ITO week ago which was a low
since last December. OF these. 392
rose, 220 fell and 167 were un-
changed. Transfers of $4,000 still
were relatively small. They COM
pared with $4,000 last Saturday.
Price Relief Expected.
Buying again was based partly
on hopes of ceiling boosts or
eliminations. Easing of interna-
tional tension through the Stain
interview was helpful but brokers
suggested this, as in the Friday ses-
sion, was minor influence. Many
customers held aloof or shortened
accounts to await next weeks meet
ing of the UNO Security Council.
Doubts regarding earnings and
dividends continued as restraint.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average was up 3 of a point att
1855 and on the week was ahead 1.6I
points. 1t was about 4 full points
under the February 15-year peak.
Better movers on the day were
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific. United
States Steel, Hudson Motors, Chrys-
Ter, Goodrich, Montgomery Ware,
Douglas Aircraft, American Tele-
phone, Kennecott, Du Pont, East
man Kodak, Armour, Mead Corp.
and American Can.
Western Union Down.
Off fractions to point or sol
were Western Union "a" depressed
by disclosure of a January deficit;
Westinghouse, rejecting the con-
Germs strike stalemate, and Reynolds
Spring, on announcement that di-
rectors, as of March l, last, had
omitted dividend paid in previous
quarters. Other laggards were
United States Rubber, International
Harvester, United Aircraft, Union
Carbide, Louisville g. Nashville, |
Socony, Engineers Public Service
and Columbia Gas.
Bonds were narrow.
Improved in the curb were Berkey
81 Gay, Brown Rubber, Colonial
Airlines, Textron and National Rub
ber Machinery. Turnover here was
250,000 shares versus 240,000 in the
preceding short stretch.

property to obtain satisfaction OF
some debt. Thus the Federal or Dis
trict Governments may (and dob
file tax liens against property which
require payment before the property
Is transferred to a purchaser. An
other example of a lien is a mort
gage or court judgment.
Must Be Free of Liens.
Before q title to property is clear
and ready to be transferred, it must
be free Of such liens or the prop
erty must be accepted subject to the
liens.
In the title companies, trained
clerical workers usually search
through the records to get the
needed information. In doing this
they list, and in some cases exam
Inc. every legal paper in the re-
corder OF deeds Office and the clerk
OF the courts Office filed since the
District was laid out In 1871 that
would in any way affect the title.
This information then becomes
the abstract" Of the title, ready for
examination by title company
attorney.
The attorneys opinion on this
information becomes a report on
the title. If he doesn't think the
title is good, he reports the nature
Of the defects.
But the title company attorneys
services end with an opinion of the

title. He doesn't advise clients in
other legal matters, and thus avoids
getting in other lawyers hair.
Property Transfer.
If the title is clear, the property
transfer Is ready to be made. This
is a separate part of the work. It
is also handled by the title COM
pany.
The purchaser, seller and repre-
sentative of the savings and loan
association, or other lender, meet
at the title company. The seller
deposits his deed, the purchaser
pays over the purchase price, and
the lender deposits his loan fund.
At this point, the title company is
ready to file the necessary deeds
and mortgage papers to effect the
property transfer
After the papers are deposited
with the title company, any liens
that may be due against the sellers
title are paid by the title company,
which serves as the escrow agent"
(That is legal language for the per-
son that all parties agree shall act
for them.)
When the title is finally trans
ferred, the title company provides
the purchaser with an insurance
policy guaranteeing he has a clear
title to the property and is not re-
SponSible for payment of any bills
which may have been owed by the
