Toys "R" Us Inc. said yesterday that domestic same-store toy sales had risen just 1 percent in the Christmas selling period -- the eight weeks ended on Dec. 24. The same-store gains were much smaller than the 7.4 percent reported for the corresponding period a year earlier. Same-store sales are for stores open at least a year. The company, the nation's largest toy retailer, said it expected "significantly increased" earnings for the fiscal year ending this month. Its stock was down 25 cents yesterday, at $30.375, on the New York Stock Exchange. Last week, the stock fell as much as 9 percent as analysts slashed 1994 earnings estimates.
