MANY STRANGERS

Wore shopping In tho City resterday-Last
Evening Not = PrOpitious One for Buyers.
There were a great many visiting
holiday shoppers in the city yesterday,
the fact of their presence being very
apparent to observers making a tour
of the retail district during the after
noon. Many of the strangers came
over the railroads for long distances,
and not few remained over until to-
day, to the benefit of hotels and res
taurants. All during the present week
the railroads entering the city have
experienced an augmented passenger
business, while the electric railway
travel from ali points between Mounds
vile and Martins Ferry has been very
hea. y, and will further increase to-
day and tomorrow.
The mild weather of the past few
days has benefited the retail trade to
very noticeable degree, and yester-
days business record in all lines COM
pared very favorably with any of re-
cent years. Several leading retailers,
in expressing their satisfaction with
the situation up to date, took OCCASION
however, to say that while the volume
of business was large the margin of
small proportions. This complaint is
one annually heard, however, and may
be taken cum grano sails. Last even
ing shopping was prosecuted under
difficulties, as there were frequent
showers after eight o'clock, which
drove the thousands of ladies and not
a few gentlemen to their homes some
hours earlier than is usual at this sea-
son of the year. To-day and tomorrow
will be record breakers in the shop
ping line, and the number OF strangers
in town will be vfsibly augmented.
Good weather will, as a matter of
course, play a prominent part in the
continued success of Christmas bust
ness, and under existing conditions I'M
certainties will doubtless prevail for a
day or two At the worst, however,
the volume of sales will be fully up to
the average, and under favorable CIR
cumstances will show an appreciate
increase over the last few years.
