CROWDS THRONG BROAD AND
OTHER THOROUGHFAREs
OF THE CITY.
WEATHER INTERFERES
But MERCHANTS ARE DOING
THRIVING TRADE-MANY BUY
ERs COME FROM THE
COUNTRY.

Christmas holiday shoppers are
abroad in the land. despite the rainy
spell Of the past few days. All day
long they throng the business thor
oughfares Of the city with the yule-
tide spirit pulsating through their
systems.
1t Is true, the rain has kept some
Of them indoors and thereby dtmln-
ished the volume Of trade to some ex-
tent On the whole, however. mer-
chants say business is remarkably
good. Whether the volume OF business
will equal that Of the same season
last year is doubted by some. but it
will undoubtedly aggregate a hgure
well up to the standard.
The railway people report a heavy
rush OF business from all directions,
trains bringing in Christmas shop
pers from much of the country con-
tiguous to the capital city OF the State.
At the Union depot. the rush has been
particularly marked within the last
few days.
Variety 10 Great.
Perhaps never before has there been
such a variety OF articles and goods
on display in the various stores and
establishments.
Speaking OF the weather caused q
dealer In cigars and tobaccos to re-
mark yesterday that it was a singu-
lar fact that the worse the weather
at Christmas the better his business
seemed to be.
THAT may sound like a strange re-
mark" he observed, but 1t Is never
theless true. ! account for 1t In this
way. Many men put off the buying Of
Christmas. presents until the last mo-
ment. and then when they find them
selves up against a stack OF bad wealth
er they conclude 1t Is easier to pick
box OF cigars for a present than any
thing else they can think Of. so, there
you are"
Doing Great Business.
The mail order houses have done
perhaps the most prosperous business
In their history. and this does not
apply altogether to shipments OF liquor.
In regard to the latter traffic, temper
ance people declare they will wipe out
these shipments altogether within the
next two or three years for they are
determined to make their legislators
congressman and Senators sit up and
take notice. whether these worthy
gentlemen feel inclined to do so. or not
In other words, they propose to Grad
.cate liquor shipping to dry territory
by special prohtbitory enactment.
Christmas Eve.
Today Ia Christmas Eve so far as
business is concerned, and it will no
doubt render a good account of it
self
All this week. the stores have been
keeping open TIL 10 or IL o'clock for
the benefit of late shoppers. Today,
there will be no deviation from this
rule. In fact. there Is every nkeii-
hood that hardly door will be closed
until the clock strikes twelve tonight.
Then Santa Claus will get busy in
earnest. 1t will take him some little
time TO make the trip from the North
Pole to Richmond and other points.
Not until tomorrow night. though the
day be Sunday. will he actually begin
his visitations, filing stockings and
performing other duties that fan TO
his lot every Christmastide.
