Shown In the Active Holiday Trade Report
ed During the Week.
Another Significant Feature Also
Developed in the Demand for the
Higher Glass Of Goods, the Con-
clusion Being Reached That q
Larger Capacity Exists Now
Than in Any Previous Year In
the Country's History.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Bradstreet' s
statement of trade tomorrow will say:
Holiday trade activity, Of course,
reaches it's highest development dur
ing the week now drawing to a close,
and it is significant of the prosperous
conditions underlying the general bust
ness situation that reports, almost
without exception, point to a volume
of business having few if any parallels
in previous years. Another significant
feature developed also is That the de-
mand for such goods embraces higher
class and a more expressive grade of
materials, conclusion among trade re-
porters being that a larger capacity ex-
lists now than in any previous wear in
the country's history. This favorable
condition, too, exists in face of the fact
that weather conditions have not al
together favored retail distribution of
winter goods, the result being less ac-
tivity in purely retail lines than had
been looked for, though comparisons
with one year ago are generally IA
vorable. Wholesale trade at this sea-
son usually shows a quieting tendency,
but 1t is questionable whether this ten
dency is as marked this year as in for

TREsPAssERS BEWARE.
Hunters Must Keep OFF the Gilt
Edge Club Premises.

The Gilt Edge Gun Club, which has
a lease of the Bassler ranch, some five
miles north of the city on the Marys-
vile road, has been greatly annoyed
by trespassers, and while the members
do not like to have persons arrested,
they see no way to protect their own
interests except to appeal to the law.
The members of the club pay their
good money for the rental of the prop
erty, and they have as mach right to
the shooting privilege there as if the
place were planted to strawberries and
they desired to protect their vines
against horde of pedestrians.
Mr.. Bassler has had signs placed
about the property warning hunters
against trespassing, but as these were
ignored he found it necessary to make
arrests. The best way to avoid all
difficulty is for persons who have no
right on the premises to avoid tres
passing, for those who have rented the
place want to get some returns for
their money, and are determined on be-
ing protected

ADJUSTMENTS.

Professor Lee and his assistant hyp-
notists had no large audience at the
Opera-hcuse last night, but it was a
merry one, induced to mirth by the
acts of the subjects Lee operated upon.
There were those present who held the
performance to be faxed" But if so
then the subjects are more than con-
summate actors, and are besides ath-
letes of remarkable strength and DOW
ers of endurance, things not suggest
ed by the countenances or physique of
the group. The star feat last evening
was putting five Of the subjects into
cateleptic condition and stretching two
across chair backs and piling the others
on like cord wood, Lee mounting and
standing upon the pile This after
noon there will be a matinee enter
tainment at 2:15, with a full program,
as Lee puts it, no matter if there are no
more than five spectators to entertain.
Tonight the last of Lee and his as
sistants, with a complete change of
