has changed now and We are kept busy
right along. The outlook Was very
blue at one time but since it has clear
ed of and we are enjoying good
weather once more, our holiday trade
is fulfilling all expectations"
''The bad weather hurt our business
very much, - said Arthur h. Richards,
the jeweler, 'but 1 have no reason to
complain. Our sales are increasing
every day with the approach Of Christ
mas and this syear's business will be
fully as good "a that of last year"
Arthur A. Kline, seen by the report
er, said that he did not believe his
business had suffered very much from
the bad weather. "Straugers in COM
ing to Ell Paso generally visit my store
and during the bad weather 1t dld not
seem to me that the mum Der had de-
creased No doubt there was n differ
not noticeable. 1 have no complaint
to make of the holiday trade. 1t has
been very good with me, ard believe
1 voice the sentiments of many other
merchants
Chas F. Slack & Co. said. 1--WE did
not notice any falling off of our trade
during the bad weather and the only
Inconvenience we experienced was in
delivering our goods. Our delivery
wagons were handicapped in making
their daily rounds due to the miserable
condition of the streets. Trade this
fall has been excellent and we are sell
ing q great many Christmas goods"
John Drummer, the merchant tSilor.
said: "Lsst week 1 didn't think we
were going to do much in extra work,
atill my men had all they could do to
finish up the work which had piled up
before the bad weather; but yester-
4 I,.;rx nd q u
we will have more work than we can
possibly finish before the holidays. L
have between fifteen and twenty men
working as hard as they can and we
are turning out a world of garments.
I think that trade this Christmas
would have been better than last, If
we had not had the bad weather last
week, but then If the trade keeps up
this week as it started in yesterday L
don't think that any Of the merchants
will have any complaint"
HOLIDAY TRADE IN JUAREz.
The outlook for the holiday trade in
Juarex is not very promising. The bad
weather has interfered great deal aud
with keeping the Americans on this
side of the river.
Usually great numbers go over there
every year and purchase their Christ
mas presents to send home, but this
year the trade in Juarez is estimated
to have fallen off nearly fifty per
cent.
There is very little tcade in the CT
gar business, and the merchants say
tn at their trade is poorer this season
that they have ever known it before.
The customs inspectors ct the bridge
report that few packages and parcels

ed the upper bridge yesterday Col.
Mari had some half dozen packages
which he had taken up from passen-

being able to calculate exactly the
amount, he had taken them aud told
their owners to call at the custom
house for them.

Return Of Good Weather Has
Frightened Prospects For
UNUSUALLY. HEAVY TRADE
And Brought Much Joy To Ell PasO's
Merchants.-SOme Stores Did Not
Experience Bad Effects From the
Storm. In ALI Lines AS
Good As Usual, and In Some Better
Than Ever.


The condition of the streets and side
walks in the city last week had most
distressing effect on the holidsy trade.
Those persons whose duties Iorceo
them to brave the weather and the
sea of mud to be waded through to get
from one point to another, INDUCED in
no pleasant reflections with reference
to street and crossings.
This is very busy season with both
shoppers and shop keepers. 1t is q
time when retail trade Is supposed to
reach its maximum and when extra
help is required and provided to meet
the unusual demands of Christmas
shoppers. To what extent retail trade
has suffered by reason of the inclement
weather, it is not easy to guess, but
there was some complaining on the
part of merchants who had been boas-
ting of an extremely lively trade just
before the weather situation became 80
bad.
OF course no one was to blame for
the bad weather.We had more damp
but we are no worse off. except for the
condition in which little wet wealth
er leaves the unpaved streets.
With the advent of the new week,
when old Sol made his appearance, he
soon put different aspect on the situa-
ton. The mud is quickly drying up,
and the streets aud stores are again
crowded with holiday shoppers.
Those merchants who were 80 des-
pondent last week are now wearing q
most happy smile and declare this
years trade, though little late in
coming. will equal that of any previous
year.
The HERALD reporter interviewed
q number of our leading business men
and they were enthusiastic over the
outlook.
"Of course the bad weather." said J.
Calisher, 'interfered to q certain ex-
tent with our trade, still 1 can't com
plain. Business has been excellent
this fall, better than at any time since
[ started here, and / have reason to
believe that 1t will improve when we
get that electric line. II we had only
been blessed with electric cars during
the bad weather of last week, ladies
would not have remained at home on
account Of the condition of the streets
and sidewalks. However, many Of
them weathered the gale aud did NOS
allow the weather to interfere with
their shopping.
W. 81. Fox, of Cooperl Bros, said
"Our business is generally good the
year round but I was beginning to get
very blue when saw there was 90 let
up in the weather. But since it has
cleared off we have had our hands full
In waiting on our many customers,
and there is no doubt but what our
sales will bs IS large this year as for
the corresponding time year ago."
B. Blumenthal in speaking of the
holiday trade, said: It Is very good
and now that the weather has settled,
I look for steady increase. 1t was
our intention to remain open until nine
o'clock evenings until the first of the
year. but when the bad weather came
we closed up at the usual time as bust
