be no better cure than to get among the Christ
mas buyers who crowd the stores on Washington

unusually fertile one in good feeling and gener
osity if the impetus given to trade by the traffic
in holiday presents is any criterion. Never

or the sales more extensive. Everybody
seems to have money and to enjoy
spending it, from the occupants of the carriages
that stop before the great iewelry stores to the
happy children of poverty, who take every bit
as much pleasure in the purchase of cheap toys
for one another: and, as a consequence the
trades people are all happy. from the proprietors
of the mammoth emporums of art and fashion
to the street vendors of holiday goods In val

The Foreign Grain TRADE.

LONDON, Dec. 24-The Mark Lane Express
(which was issued to day instead of Monday, the
regular day of publication in its weekly review
of the British grain. trade, says: The wheat
trade was limited. but prices were steady.
Foreign wheat was quiet The increase of
American supplies tends to depress the market,
but the disturbed condition of affairs In the east
ern part of Europe counteracts this influence
and strengthens the market. There is good
prospect of increased business with the new
year. At to-day's market the tone of wheat
was firm. Flour was Cd dearer. Corn, barley,
beans and peas were steady.
