many OF the prettiest presents are sold
AS yet. however, there has been little
trade ID purely Christmas goods, for
the Thanksgiving trade ended only the
nrst part of the recent week, and it
is not expected that there will be any
startling trade In holiday things until
the last of this week Preparations
are under way. however, and storekeep.
ers are looking forward to an excel
lent movement as soon as people re-
cover from the effects of the great
turkey festival of the past week.
AS might be expected. the real estate
dealers were not so well pleased as the
clothing men. There was no glumness
apparent, however, and the storm was
regarded merely as interfering tempo
rarlly with business. 'EIt is impossible
to show property it was explained; :;
but many dealers reported large trans
actions under way which would simply
be delayed for a few days until there
was slight change in the weather
No large sales were reported during the
week, two causes being assigned in eX-
anation-tbe storm and Thanksgiving
day. Several dealers talked of their
intention Of erecting numbers of new
houses in the spring and told of ar
rangements already under way for con.
timing the record breaking activity in
building which has characterized the
past year
Works Suspended.
Construction of new buildings of all
kinds was suspended temporarily on
account of the storm, except on those
structures which were far enough ad-
vanced to permit work 10 be done in
side. Public works of all kinds were
suspended, also, until after the snow
could be cleared away. and this. with
the intervention of Thanksgiving into
the middle of the week, caused pretty
general cessation in all outdoor work
visit TO the architects discovered
them busy preparing plans for new
buildings and laying plans for activity
as soon as conditions would warrant.
New warehouses, apartment houses and
hundreds of residences are apparently
under consideration as an indication
that the winter season will not prevent
the erection of new structures at the
earliest possible moment. Hardware
men report the call for building ma
terials strong and, as most Of the sell
ing is done by wholesale, it is evident
that preparations are being made Tor
good deal of work next spring.
With the hardware trade, generally,
the feature Of the week has been the
demand for snow shovels. All the
dealers in the city responded to the
call from the outlying districts, most
OF which came from the mining camps,
and sent out shovels by, the dozen by
express, by frelght, ana any way 70
Get them out, until the stock was al
most exhausted.
Winter goods OF all kinds have also
been called for in quantities, which
showed that the people were deter"
mined to keep up with the times
Skates, sleds, snow shoes, and every"
thing which forms an accessory. OF out
door winter sports have constituted q
large part of the trade during the week,
and the trade bids, fair to continue
