first day of December on to Christmas
Eve. And such has come to pass.
In the last days of last week all of the
merchants noticed a remarkable in
crease in business With the whole
salers orders from the other islands
were hustled out, and with the retail
ers it was necessary to divide the time
between opening new goods and tax
ing care of the brisk trade which had
started up.
But last week was merely a hint
of what may be expected this week
Dealers in substantials may confident
w expect a strong run, while purely
Christmas stocks will be heavily
drawn on. There will be considerable
buying of novelties this week to be
sent away in the mails or by express
to other lands, and large or expen-
sive Christmas presents will be pur-
chased for delivery later on-building
lots, furniture, jewelry, etc. A can
vass of some Of the leading houses to-
day gave the following results:
HACKFELD G. co.
This great establishment has most
remarkable showing in toys, cut glass
and other table ware, Oriental goods,
cigars and cigarettes and household
supplies generally. The toys and
Christmas novelties were brought di-
rect from the factories in Germany,
France and America, and form one Of
the most complete displays ever seen
in the islands. Cut glass, table and
household goods are all imported d.
rect, as are also silk goods and orien-
tai merchandise of China and Japan.
Cigars by the box are from the lead
ing factories of Cuba, Manila and Am
erica, splendidly assorted. Cigarettes
include genuine Egyptian and Turkish
makes, as well as specialties from 9th
er lands. AS a whole, the Christmas
stock at Hackfelds is most complete
and should be examined before pur-
chases are made.

less variety are carried at Sachs, in
