RETROSPECTIVE FEATURES.
Good Effects of Early Shopping for
Christmas Gifts

Now that Christmas. 1906. is thing of
the past, Washington merchants are find
ing time to discuss some of the RETROSPECT
tive features of the day from a mercantile
standpoint. One of the most notable of
these was the great number of people who
did their shopping days and even weeks in
advance of Christmas eve. That, to con-
siderable extent. prevented the great jam
of humanity in evidence on former Christ
mas ewes.
'To be sure" It'll street merchant re-
marked, there was great jam as it was,
but had ii not been for the work of The
Star In advising that the shopping be done
early. the crush Of humanity would have
been terrible. and the results would have
been unsatisfactory to both the sellers and
the buyers
Another feature of Christmas, 1906, was
the number and novelty of the articles to
be found in toyland. There were mechan-
ical pigs. warranted to execute an up-to-
date cake walk: racing autos. which when
wound up tear off in mad haste as though
Vanderbilt cup was at the other end of the
course; complete electric railways, and
many other wonderful mechanical toys
There were miniature John Philip Sousas in
brass-buttoned uniforms leading miniature
orchestras. Buster Brown and his dog

Christmas. 1906 was declared to be q rec
ord breaker in the variety of mechanical
toys and other novelties produced In mag
ical tOyland.

quiet, but the market held fairly steady
during the early session and improved a
point or two during the middle of the

buying for a turn which was based ap-
parently the steadiness of the spot sit

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

About the only animation that was ap-
parent at the meeting of the stock exchange
today was when Bowie Chapman made his
appearance wearing necktie of such a
brilliant shade of red that it seemed at once
to absorb the eyes of all the members and
take their attention from the call
This latter. however. was not difficult to
do, as every one appeared to be more in
terested in conversation than in the efforts
of President Hume to induce some trading
Still the necktie was rather forceful in
color.
The common stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company was OF
fered in abundance at 40A. and several lots
were taken at that figure, while there were
also sales made fractionally less. How
ever, the supply was not exhausted at the
close. it was still to be had at that
price and eighth of point less. Inc
bid remained at 40
There was no trading in the preferred
stock of the company except a ten-share
lot which was sold at S5aa and that was the

did not rise above S5A, and both cures
showed a decline compared with the
quoted prices of Monday.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. December 2G.-Cp to the
early part of the afternoon, when there
took place a sharp downward movement
in Northern Pacific and Great Northern,
today's stock market had shown fairly
common disposition to rally from the
depression of Monday, and a number Of
stocks made quite noteworthy advances.
The break in the Hill stocks. however,
together with a rise in the rates for
money from the opening quotations, ] 81

In, the news over the Christmas holiday

in one direction or another. Business
was in largely reduced volume and was
almost wholly for professional account
In :he early part OF the day the floor
traders were quite commonly disposed to
espuuse the bullish side of the account on
the familiar theory that the market had
suffered a decline of sufficient proportions
as to entitle prices to a fair rally. Appa-
rently- such advances were scored up

The hardening in the rates for money
from the first quotation was not particu-

the season of the year, and the exception
ally heavy financial requirements to be
handled by next Monday, and, as a matter
of fact. in the market for time loans some
slight and poorly defined relaxation was
reported.
