"It was oft believed that it was to do with stock disposal of stuff remaining after the peak of Christmas trading, but I suspect also giving a boost to slowing down trade also figured"

There are the four trading quarters of the year, and the last trading quarter is the one to the end of the year, and that was always the busiest because of Christmas, the first trading quarter of the year was the quietist, and yoo always found that with what you made before Christmas, that was cancelled out with what you lost after Christmas, and both quarters averaged out at the same level.
