In the first 11 months of 1936 sales here were 9.8 per cent ahead of last year, up 10 per cent in the fifth district and 11 per cent in the national average. ‘Washington was considerably behind 8ll the other cities in this trade area. The failure to make a better gain is due to the fact that in November, 1935, sales were 20 per cent above the like month in 1934. That figure proved too much of a gain to exceed again this year by any large amount. Hunt- ington, W, Va., led the fifth district with a 23 per cent advance over last year.

BY VICTOR EUBANK, Associated Press Pinanciai Writer. NEW YORK, December 11.—Spe- cialty stocks held the buying limelight in today’s market, many getting un fractions to 2 or more points. At the same time a number of recent leaders, confronted by selling pressure, were unable to make headway and some backed up for substantial losses. Transfers were in the neighborhood of 2,700,000 shares. Low-priced issues splattered the ticker tape throughout the session, and for a while in the morning printed quotations were a2 minute or so behind dealings on the floor of the Exchange. Brokers saw nothing especially in the news to spur the list one way or the other. There was little change in the industrial scene, and the Brit- ish King shift was thought to have lost much of its influence marketwise. tocks in the popular column in- cluded Goodyear, Goodrich, U. 8.
