London shares higher in early deals in thin trade, after late NY rally ...
The Financial Times reported today that fears of bleak trading on the high street look to have eased after a last-minute surge of shopping, although concerns over profits remain after widespread discounting of stock in the run-up to Christmas. Figures from Footfall, the Experian-owned market research company, showed an increase in shopper numbers of 6.8 pct on Saturday, climbing to more than 20 pct on Sunday as shoppers hunted for bargains, the newspaper said. However, the Guardian pointed out that the sales surge masks growing gloom over a New Year slump, according to an ICM poll conducted for the newspaper. Among the blue chip gainers, Marks & Spencer added 3-1/2 pence at 553-1/2, while Next gained 1 penny at 1,624, but Argos-owner Home Retail Group shed 1-1/2 pence at 327.

"I think the goal will be to make it as boring as possible," state Rep. Bill Fromhold, D-Vancouver, joked to a crowded Greater Spokane Inc. legislative forum last month. "And we're pretty good at that." After all, it's a short-session year: just 60 days. It's also an off year between two-year budget cycles, so there's not a lot of money to fight over. .
