    WAL-MART Stores Inc appears to have hit a speed bump in the race to grow online sales.

    The retailer's e-commerce sales rose 8 per cent in the fiscal fourth quarter ended Jan 31, for a fourth straight period of decelerating growth. Growth has gone from 17 per cent in the first quarter, to 16 per cent in the second and 10 per cent in the third. The numbers exclude the impact of currency swings.
