Volume Of Business Much Greater
Than Was Expected Ten
Days Ago
FEW COMPLAINTS ARE HEARD.
Demand Was Good Along all Lines and
The Candy Trade the Greatest
City Has Ever Had.

Local merchants report the Christmas
trade as being very good though there
are some complaints. All day long on
the day before Christmas the stores In
the center Of the town were throngod,
the rush lasting until late IN the even
Ing, so that the outgoing street cars
were crowded, as with II lake rush,
until near midnight. An immense num-
Der Of small sales were made, and in
some OF the smaller establishments
whole lines Of stocks were sold out at
fair prices. The larger houses simply
did a land Office business Money was
spent freely for many things, but prn-
cipally for holiday gifts IN the way of
children's toys and stationery novelties.
Briefly, II may be said the storekeepers
are happy. Ten days ago there was a
complaint from some of the merchants
that there were too many firms here
in the same lines OF business, and the
prospects We're dubious But the big
Christmas rush came on so quickly and
In such volume that all fears OF dun
holiday trade were brushed away, and
IL IL believed that the good business
Will continue into the New Year. a
decided taste for mechanical toys has
been manifested, toys that suggest
some mechanical principle that may be
taught TO children with no very great
effort and It is supposed that the de-
Nelopment OF manual training IN the
public schools Is the occasion Of this
The candy trade has been something
immense, fully % per cent, dealers say,
greater than last Christmas season. 4
demand this season has been for the
regular staple with nuts In them. The
styles OF putting up candies this sea-
son, have developed more and more into
artistic lines, and are very attractive.
As a rule prices IN all lines have been
reasonable and the advent Of cold
weather at this particular time, has
created strong demand for staple
winter wear, and goods generally. Thus,
the merchants have the weather to
thank for helping them out. The streets
today present a lively appearance, and
the fact that this Is business day
sandwiched In between to holidays,
tends TO make business all the llvelier.
Altogether the outlook is nothing to
complain Of; on the contrary, there Is
much to be thankful for.

United States Anxious to Have
Commercial Treaty Ratified Be-
fore Crisis Becomes Acute
SAME COURSE TOWARDS CoREA.
American Minister at Seoul Instructed
To be Urgent With Coreau
Government.

Washington, Dec. 26.--The situation In
the far east has caused the officials Of
the state department to renew their
efforts to secure for the United States
from China and Corea certain necessary
trade advantages as embodied IN the
Chinese commercial treaty and In Min
lister Aliens demands upon the Corean
government, before the crisis becomes
more acute. II is realized that should
hostilities break out between Russia
and Japan. the resulting peace treaty
probably would leave the United States
and other neutral nations entirely out
side OF the pale Of advantage In Corea
and Manchuria. no matter which way
the side Of victory turned. Therefore.
the state department Is bringing pres
sure to bear upon the Chinese court to
insure the speedy ratification Of the
treaty and as other nations have indl-
rectly been given to understand in this
negotiation, It is hoped that final rati-
fcation Of the treaty may be exchanged
In Washington within three months at
the outside. This will result In the OPP
ening to the United States of the trade
of the ports Of An.Tung and Moukden,
In Manchuria. Across the river from
An-Tung in Corean territory lies Win
and the state department has prompted
Mr.. Allen at Seoul to renew his pres
sure upon the Corean government to
secure the opening of that port to trade.
THE vICKsBURG GOES TO CoREA.
Washington, Dec. 26.--Rear Admiral
Stirling, temporarily in command of
the Asiatic station cables the navy de-
partment announcing the departure OF
the gunboat Vlcksburg today from
Shanghai for Chemulpo, Corea, where
she has been ordered at the instance Of
Mr.. Allen, the American minister at
Seoul. The local riots at Chemulpo re-
Gently endangered American life and
property and the dispatch of a warship
was thought necessary.
AS the marine guard OF the Vicks-
burg does not exceed half dozen men,
Rear Admiral Stirling has been in
structed TO send a company OF marines
from the Philippines to Chemulpo on
board the yicksburg at Chemulpo. and
II Is said that they will not be landed
unless American interests are further
threatened.

War Unless Russia Modifes

Paris. Dec. 26.--It was learned in au-

Is about to send large military force
to Corea for the purpose Of restoring
and maintaining order at the disturbed

imminent. 1t will probably consist OF
division OF $1,000 men.
Japan has been assured that Russia
will not regard the sending Of troops
10 Corea to be an unfrlendly act or u
casus belll,
1t is anticipated that the departure
Of the troops will revive the war ru-
mors, which, however, II Is pointed
out IN authoritative quarters. will be
unjustlfed. In view Of Russias acqul-
essence.
During the recent exchanges Of COM
munlcatons between Russia and Japan
the former fully recognized the need
OF the presence of strong military
authority IN Corea and conceded that
Japan was In the best position to
promptly send troops to the disturbed
points
The sending of the troops neverthe-
less, is construed as having an import
ant bearing on the present negotiations
as II will be the first conspicuous evil
dence Of Japan's actual exercise Of
paramount authority over Corea. IL
