bringing it within the easy reach of
thousands of people who, perphaps,
otherwise would not take this means
of transmitting good cheer blessing.
1t is certainly dcparturs from the
oridary methods of public utilities
and the public will appreciate this
practical application of the Christmas
spirit. While this reduction for the
half day will mean a great deal of ex-

it will make many hearts glad, and in

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The week has been one of uncertain
weather, with storms and GOODNESS
mixed with sunshine and warmth.
Trade conditions have been affected to
considerable extent by these weather
uncertainties and fluctuations. The
cold, raw days held spring and summer
trade down all the week, although spe
cially arranged sales found favor in
spite of the weather conditions. lu
women S departments the effect Of the
variable weather was felt most keen
ly. Heavier grades of goods, including
men s wearing apparel, suffered less.
Tourists helped in the total business
for the week. Collections have been good
Merchants feel that there is to be n
period Of exceptionally good trade in
the next few weeks. 1t is believed that
the general loosening up Of money,
started in the East, will have bcne-
ficial effect on the trade conditions in
this region. and that before long. Mer-
chants report the trade of the week
ahead Of that Of the corresponding
week last year.
The outlook in realty tends upward
ali the time. There have been some
sales, and an opening up of prospects
for more sales. Inquiry is general and
strong, and property, although plenti-
fully offered, is firmly held and prices
are we'll maintained.
Building operations have gone
ahead uninterruptedly, and the weekly
payrolls from this branch Of industry
have increased. Builders and realty
dealers hold that the impending liquor
election is having deleterious effect
in both directions. and that it is hin
dering the sales Of home site lots in
suburban additions. This condition is
expected to hold until the question is
decided by the election of June 9th.
