Weekly indexes at the district and city levels are published by several of the Federal Reserve Banks. * — T h e large percentage changes shown for this week are due mainly to the fact that Christmas this year fell on Tuesday, giving the week one pre-Christmas shoppings day compared with none in the corresponding week last year.
