10 per cent higher in volume than in

Total sales in dry goods were 16
per cent better than in the previous
year, in hardware 10.6 per cent, in
shoes 10.1 per cent, in groceries 9.5
per cent and in drugs 9.3 per cent.
For December four of the five re

sale than in December, 1935. Hard
ware headed the list with 22.6 per
cent, dry goods enjoyed a 22.4 per
cent jump, drugs were up 20 per cent
and groceries 18 per cent, but shoe
sales were off 6 per cent. Naturally

much of the holiday buying was under
way.

NEW YORK, January 26 —Grow
ing flood damages sapped the stock
market's rallying vitality today, and
with the exception of a handful of
specialties, prices reacted fractions to
around 3 points.

dwindled, but fresh selling under
mined the list, near the fourth hour
heavy offerings put the ticker tape
behind for a while.
Stocks prominent on the offside in
cluded General Motors, Chrysler, U. S

Moderately improved at one time
were Hudson Motors, Nash-Kelvinator,

luctantly, notwithstanding refusal of
General Motors officials to confer wifli
union leaders on invitation of Secre

indicated a conference would be use
less while sit-down strikers were still
in the plants.
American Smelting took a tumble
when the corporation applied for per
