PRECAUTIONARY TRADE.
Merchants Agree Tint After Effects
Of Celebration Arc Good.

There was once a little boy who. when
stuck with a question In geography
which he could not answer. would al
ways reply to his teacher. "joEaphers
differ" So It is with the merchants Of
this city In reference to the direct trade
effects OF the tercetcnnry celebration,
they differ. ono of the principal dry
goods merchants said. when Interview
ed. "patriotism was rampant. We sold
so many decorations. flags especially,
that tho people won't want any more
for hundred wears" In other lines.
however. he reported q general lnxity Of
business during tercentrnary week. with
the possible exception Of Friday. On
that day the visitors seemed to have
finished their fun and settled down TO
the more serious business of shopping
though even then trade was not heavy.
Orc or two stores of the dry goods
persuasion were. however. able to report
first class results even through the hur
ly-bury and hustle of the big days. The
druggists say that their soda fountains
were ver!tahle gold mines while the
crowds were here. but the drug de
partment did not show signs OF any
disturbance one way or tho other. The
clothiers were not happy during the
week. save for the facts that they had
plenty of time to enjoy themselves and
were not kept from seeing any Of the
sights because OF rush Of customers.
SO far the trade resume is saturated
with pessmism. but this is not tho
whole story. To man the merchants
agree of the good after effects Of tho
big time last week. Mail order men
say that new correspondents are show
ing UP and that the postman's shoulder
IL getting call0used because Of the new
orders People who did not know that
burlington had any business houses
bigger than the village store at home
have found ont the difference and now
they are going to do their trading
where they can get the benefit OF the
largest variety and the lowest prices.
