Big Gains Indicated
In Yule Savings
For 1939 Season
Enrollments and Amounts
Both Show Gains
Over Year Ago
By EDWARD C. STONE.
Christmas savings clubs for 1939,
opened by 16 Washington banks a
week ago, are getting away to a
flying start, both the number of
enrollments and the amount of
money subscribed being substantially
ahead of the same period last year,
an unofficial survey disclosed today.
Inquiry at more than half the
banks maintaining these popular
clubs brought reports of an unex
pected rush, every bank announcing
more members and larger subscrip
tions than was the case in the first
six or seven days in 1937.
Asked to account for the influx,
which in many instances has almost
swamped the tellers at the Christmas
savings club windows, bankers said
today that they could account for
the upswing only by the fact that
business in general is getting better
steadily and that people have more
ready money than they had in their
pocketbooks or their bank accounts
a year ago.
The Christmas savings idea is
more firmly rooted here than in
most other cities in the country.
The average savings laid aside by
the members this year was nearly
double the average for the whole
Nation. This year the banks merely
announced their plans for opening
the clubs, making no attempt to
stress the value of the clubs or the
importance of thrift. That is why
officials are so surprised as they look
at the number of people going up
to the windows.
It was reported today that a good
many of the new members are
making their first payments for 1939
from their 1938 club funds received a
few days ago. Enrollments in the
new clubs will close on January 7.
Right now the popularity of the
clubs seems to be just as great as
when the banks paid generous inter
est on each account.
capital traction Bonds Ip.
Capital Traction 5s have recently
displayed added strength on the
Washington Stock Exchange, being
more active and registering higher
quotations. Two SI.000. one $500 and
a $2,500 transfer were recorded on
the exchange yesterday at 85. up
from recent sales at 83'2. Members
of the exchange lay the advance to
the more favorable October report.
Interest is unabated in Anacostia
& Potomac R. R. 5s. which regis
tered 86 on the last sale. The final
court ruling on the liability for these
bonds is awaited with deep interest
by individual investors and several
Washington banks. Answering the
pending suit, the Washington Rail
way & Electric Co. and the Capital
Transit Co. denied liability in a
statement filed with the court last
week.
I). C. Underwriters Meet.

the membership year run from July
1 to the end of June instead of from
January 1 to the end of December.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Speculator
flowed to the buying side of the stock
market today as the line of least re
sistance and prices moved upward
in a leisurely recovery.
Gains of fractions to around 5
points were general through the list
around the fourth hour. Whili
somewhat brpader than in the pre
ceding session, dealings were quiet
The action of the market itself thi
last few days, indicating reluctanci
to resume the November downswing
appeared to be the chief influenci
drawing traders back to the ranks o)
buyers. Many analysts took thi
performance lately as a hint reaction
had run its course and began t<
think in terms of a year-end rally
Industrial Shares Attract.
Aviation, motor, steel, copper and
other industrial shares were thi
main attractions for the bullish con- ,
tingents. The buying in those groups
brokers said, was guided largely bj,
expectations 1939 would see further
business revival, especially in thi
heavier industries.
An upward slant also was notice
able in corporate bonds and most
active commodities.
Setting the pace for the recovers
were United States Steel, Chrysler
Greyhound, Douglas Aircraft, Ex
Cell-O, Union Carbide, Montgomerj
Ward, Electric Auto Lite, Westing
house Electric, Anaconda, Cerro de
Pasco and Sperry.
Rails stepped in line toward mid
day. including Santa Fe, Southern
Pacific and New York Central, anc
utilities also shared in lesser degree
in the advance.
Action on Curb.
On the curb, Aluminum of Amer
ica shot up more than 6 points ai .
one time. Also higher were Ameri
can Gas & Electric, Lockheed Air
craft, Great Atlantic & Pacific anc
Electric Bond & Share.
A further reduction in productior
quotas by the foreign copper carte,
was a stimulus to demand for thi
red metal, buying for export ws.1
described as the most active m somi
time. Copper shares likewisi
benefited, especially Cerro de Pasco
Aviations remained in the specula- ♦
tive limelight. Wall Street rated re
ports Congress may be asked for i
preliminary $100,000,000 appropri
ation to speed the air defense pro
gram. Aircraft manufacturers alsc
looked for more export orders ir
view of the money foreign nation;
were lavishing on air forces.
A setback in European exchang:
rates was a drag for security mar
! kets, it seemed. Renewed selling ir
! the British pound and French fram
| was blamed, for lack of better ex
planation, on the Italian agitatioi *
for French territory. However, ex
change men said speculation again;
the pound lately has proceeded oi
the idea it was over-valued in term
of the dollar.
