AVALANCHE OF PARCELS.
Swamps the Delivery Force of Express
Companies in New York.

New York, Dec. 24.-Express COM
panies and suburban package carriers
doing business in this city have been
swamped in an avalanche of Christmas
packages. Mountains of parcels are
piled up in the transfer office, and
although extra men and wagons are
at work the accumulation seems to
grow larger instead of smaller.
That many parcels containing gifts
will not be delivered before the middle
of next week is admitted by the eX-
press officials. Delivery systems oper-
ated by many of the large retail shops
will be at work throughout Sun day
and Monday in the hope of catching
up.
Christmas shopping reached it's
high tide on Friday and, according to
merchants in the retail district, the
sales this year have passed all records
From early in the morning until 10
o'clock at night crowds of eager buy
erS filled the stores. Articles suitable
for gifts were snapped up hurriedly
and the unprecedented demand left
many stores short of goods that are
ordinarily left over to be disposed OF
at bargain sales after the holidays.
Men who were caught in the vor-
tex of a crush of women shoppers in
narrow aisles or near the elevators OF
the big stores wished they had re
manned at home. Sidewalks in the
shopping district were moving masses
of humanity. Surface cars and eIe-
waited trains were damned with pas
SengerS and the subway Snareu III the
crush When the homeward rush or
workers began at night the crush was
frightful.
Merchants of many years experience
said that the Christmas buying this
wear was begun earlier than usual ana
that everybody seemed to nave money
Purchases were made on Hpera!
scale, and the sales this year were OF
a more substantial character than ever
before. Large jewelry houses report
the best holiday trade in years and the
fur trade which last year was near
disaster, is now said to be in pros
porous condition.
Christmas celebrations will begin at
churches, Sunday schools and clubs
this evening. There will be special
with elaborate musical programmes,
and on Monday many dinners to the
poor will be given.
Today the vendors of food expect to
reap their harvest for it will be the
greatest market day of the year. Dur
ing this week 2,150,00O turkeys and
chickens have come to the city, and
100000 of the turkeys out of this vast
stock, representing an expenditure of
about $500, 900, will be consumed at
the Christmas dinners. The turkey
price is below that of Thanksgiving
time, and about the same as it was
ing at 25 cents pound, the price run
ming from % to % cents. Roasting
chickens are selling at from II to 20
cents; ducks are % cents and the best
geese 20 cents. Canvas back ducks
are $3.50 and mallards $3.50 pair.
Quail are $3.50, snipe $3.50 and rail
birds $3.50 a dozen.
