Holiday Consumption Estimated
at 100000 Pounds of Bonbons
and Striped Sticks.
SECOND TO PARIS, FRANCE.
Increased Demand for Flowers So
Great That Florists Fear
Famine-Drawing on
Other Cities.

It is being demonstrated at this season
that the people of st. Louis consume more
candy in year, per capita. than those Of
any other city in the world with the ex-
ception Of Paris, France.
There is no particular reason for this
other than that there are about 10000
children in the city, and that st. Louis
parents are indulgent-also that many OF
the parents themselves have not forsaken
the habits of youth and still continue to
eat candy.
1t is estimated that during the holiday
season there are 400 tons Of candy sold to
st. Louis customers, to say nothing Of the
carloads which are shipped out of the city.
Most Of the candy is sold in the form Of
bonbons and chocolates, although many
tons of caramels and stick candy find their
way into the small boys pocket and the
lap Of the matinee girl.
There are generally sixty pieces of
candy to a pound. and there are 1000
pounds in ton. This means that there
is more than a pound box of candy sold
to every person in st. Louis.
The candy comes in different forms.
There is the old-fashioned candy cane
that can be purchased for 10 cents or 81,
all depending upon recipient 8 appetite

upon the installment plan.

HARVEST FOR FLORISTS.
Should the demand upon the local for
lists continue for holly and Christmas ber-
ries, as it has done for the last three days,
St Louis will be in danger of flower
famine
Never before, say the florists, has there
been such a demand for Christmas floral
decorations. Already the supply on hand
Is almost exhausted. and rush orders have
been sent to Chicago and Philadelphia for
more.
The favorite Yuletide flower seems to be
the Poinsette, which is sold growing upon
its native bush in a pot of earth. The
azalta and the primrose follow closely in
popularity, while roses and cut flowers
seem to be greatly at disadvantage.
Violets are greatly admired, but seldom
meet with permanent home, other than
the florists shop. The prevailing price of
cents each perhaps may account for
this.
There are several new kinds OF holly
upon the market out so far they have

Chicago, Dec. 2s.-The struggle between

seriously interfered with the burial Of Chi

having been abandoned tonight.
For the last two days the prospects for
O settlement by arbitration seemed bright.
but to-day the contending parties drifted
farther apart than ever. and all peace
negotiations have been declared OF by the
employers.
FOR OPEN SHOP"
At meeting tonight Of the employers
affected by the strike 1t was decided to
open for business tomorrow morning on
the "open-shop" principle and employ
union or nonunion men.
When this decision was reached ar
rangements were made to petition one Of
the Circuit Court Judges the first thing in
the morning for an injunction restraining
the strikers from interfering with the
business of the employers. The conserva-
tive element at the meeting worked hard

was defeated.
1t was proposed to make overtures to
the strikers on an arbitration basis. This
was not needed by the more radical ele-
ment, which expressed itself as being tired
waiting for such a move on the part OF
the men.
The union officials predict trouble when
the .'open-shop'' plan is tried.
In anticipation Of opposition by the
union, the employers tonight called upon
Chief of Police ONeill for further police
protection against violence and picketing.
In reply Chief ONeill said:
1.-The police have been ordered to extend
you the utmost protection in carrying on
funerals. If you experience the slightest
trouble call up the nearest police station,
and If that does not help call me up.
OFFICERS IN CABS.
Chief of Police o'Neill's plan is to have
policemen accompany all funerals in cabs.
Members of the association said tonight
that should the police fail to maintain or
der the Sheriff would be called upon for
protection, and should that measure fail
the Governor will be appealed to to sup
ply militiamen.
Supported by the promise of a strike
fund of $4,000 a week, the idle carriage
and hearse drivers look into the future
fearlessly. They say that an injunction,
police protection and even the militia can
not seriously affect their chances of win
ming, for the reason that men cannot be
secured to drive the vehicles deserted
when the strike was ordered.
