THE HOLIDAY TRADE.

A Little Short of Last Year in Some In
stances, but the General Average Very
Gratifying.
The splendid Christmas weather of
Friday brought out multitudes of Holi-
day shoppers and the merchants of the
city report business much greater than
expected. Christmas buying opened
up rather slow this year, but it made
up for lost time in the last few days
and in many instances is even superior
to that Of last year. This shows con-
clusiYelJ that the Christmas spirit Is
not on the wune ahd that the fnan-
cial condition of the general public is
good.
During all of Friday, and continuing
up to midnight, the stores and side
walks were jammed with a happy,
eager throng in quest of ofremembrances
for their friends. Each year the tend
eucy toward buying useful and sub
stantial presents becomes more notice
able.
