gional estimates varied from last
years levels by the following per-
centages: Midwest. Northwest and
Pacific Coast, down 2 to 6 per
cent: New England. up 3 to down
/; East, down to 7; South. down
4 to g.; Southwest. down 8 to IL.
There was a slight increase in
demand for apparel, with par
ticular interest among women
shoppers in sportswear and other
specialties offsetting slack demand
for dresses, millinery and furs.
Mems winter suits and overcoats
were in good demand.
Housewives stepped up their
food buying to send the unit
volume upward, though dollar
volume remained slightly below

ticularly good for meats and
poultry for Thanksgiving.
Sales of house furnishings in

vision sets.

day after a faint-hearted early at
tempt to get ahead.
A good many leaders managed
to cling to small gains but the
majority Of price changes were on
the minus side. A couple of groups
made a better than average show
ing, notably rubber and liquor
stocks.
Brisk trading developed for a
short time after the opening but
soon slowed to q more sedate pace.
Proflt-taking sales clipped nu-
merous issues. Holiday influences
were at work. too. with many trad
ers extending the Thanksgiving
Day recess into a long week end.
Chrysler. which sold at a 1949
peak earlier this week lost around
a point. Demand for this issue has
been stimulated lately by, hopes
that directors will do something
about a year-end dividend at a
meeting scheduled for December /.

Steel, Packard, Studebaker, j. I.
Case. Magnavox, American Tele-
phone, Consolidated Edison

sues declined in the overtime
counter market for the NTH ses-
sion In q row with losses running
to around 5/32 Of 4 point in the

Magnavox after release Of earn
ings statement which showed net
profit for the September quarter
at $48.664. equal to 7 cents q
capital share. Comparisons are
not available because the COM
pany has changed Its fiscal year.
