A report from The Conference Board and TNS has some good news and some bad news for brick-and-mortar retailers as the holiday shopping season limps along. The bad news is that wired consumers are expected to spend less this year than they did last year in stores, even as their online spending rises slightly. The good news for stores is that their Web sites are among the ones attracting the most interest from consumers.

Conducted in the fourth quarter, the research found 16 percent of online respondents planning to spend more than $500 in stores this season, down from 21 percent last year.
