 There were more people about the streets to-day than on any other day since the strike started and most of them appeared to be shoppers, In asmuch as they did not come in on the cars it looks as if those who cafinOt be accommodated in the buses are be ginning to do some walking. Of course many who made up the crowd could not get along very well in the cars or buses, for they were in charge of baby carriages and had all they could do to take care of their own ve- hicles and the prattlers that rolled about in them without bothering their heads over the strike situation. An other thing noticed on the streets the past few weeks is the increase in the number of carriages that come into the center from all sections, notably the eastern and southern parts of the city.
