BIGGEST EVER KNOWN
The Holiday Trade in Progress Is a
Record Breaker.

New York, Dec. AR. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
What appears to be the largest holt
day retail trade ever known is in
progress, this being a practical test of
the buying power of the people as a
result of agricultural and industrial
prosperity, with labor everywhere
fully employed. Indeed, the only limit
to production in many lines is the
limit fixed by the scarcity of labor.
This is the only complaint in the
dry goods trade, in which there is
continued active demand and wide
distribution, especially in cotton
goods, prices of which are very firm.
Following a slight check because of
labor difficulties, production of iron
and steel is again practically up to
capacity and specifications continue to
come in freely.
Activity continues in footwear and
most manufacturers are we'll en-
ployed. The quietness in leather, US
ual at the end of the year, still pre-
walls.

NO MORE BUFFET CARS IN L. S
Railroads Have Abolished Use of
Liquors on Trains

The day of buffet cars on through
trains of the United States soon may
be thing of the past This is due to
ire growing mum Der of railroads which
have abolished the sale of liquors on
their trains, and to the contracting
territories in which those roads which
still are wet may serve passengers
with other than soft drinks. ,
In order to avoid any possible mis-
understanding or confusion that may
arise from the reference buffet in
connection with buffet smoking and
library cars. it has been decided that
in future this class of equipment on
New York Central system lines will
be designated as CLUB cars" All ad-
vertiSing matter will be revised &C
cordingly, in order that the use of
the term Club cars" may be made gem
eral. Increasing numbers of other
railroads now are featuring Club
cars as among the principal attrac
tions of their through-train equip
mRnt.

DON'T LIKE MEM RULING

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Feb. 23:-While protesting that the new conditions tend to create confusion and an ab- normal condition of marketing grains, a mass convention of grain producers and handlers here today at the same time discussed plans to meet the re- quirements of the recent ruling of the bureau of chemistry in regard to the conditions under which grain must be shipped and marketed. The grain men are inclined to find fault parti- cularly with the interpretation concerning the liability incurred in the shipping of corn for interstate commerce. They declared that the law as interpreted by the bureau of chemistry renders it most hazardous for buyers and shippers of corn to pur- chase for shipment in interstate com merce a large proportion of any of the recognized standard grades of corn.
