ENORMOUS INCREASE
IN EXPRESS BUSINESS
Companies Report Xmas Trade
80 Per Cent More than 1914.

Chicago, Dec. 24.--officisls OF EXPIRE"
companies here, pointing to-day to
huge increase in express business in tho
last six months, drew from 1t the con-
clusion that the country was prosper
Gus. Christmas business, they say, has
been 80 per cent more than last year,
and in the last half year the volume OF
express has increased 70 such proper
tions that special trains have been run
and thousands OF feet OF floor space
have been added 10 their working quar-
ters.
"We have observed since March" said
C.. n. Smith, superintendent OF tho
Western Express Company, that our
business has gradually grown. Right
now we are doing from % 10 80 per cent
more business than We were last year.
understand also that the parcel post
is doing an enormous business, and,
therefore | believe that the only pos
sible way 20 account for the increased
shipping everywhere Us that the people
are spending more, which is the fore
runner of prosperity
II. {. Brooke, general agent OF the
Adams Express Company. said: our
volume Of business now is the greatest
in the history Of the company, and /
believe our revenue will be higher than
ever before for December. in spite OF
the recent reduction ordered IN rates by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
c. f.. Finch, general agent OF the
American National Express companies,
told Of similar conditions.

RECORD BREAKING
CHRISTMAS TRADE
Commercial Agencies Report an
Unprecedented Demand.

Holiday trade. according TO the COM
mercial agencies, has been in unprec-
edented volume, and Wholesale and re-
tail lines affected are more than salts
fed with the season. Preparations for
the new buying in Wholesale mar kets
are being made in expectation of an
unusually large demand. Mills are
busy and employment is excellent.
"Dun's Review" says:
Apart from the rush in the shop
ping districts, there has been little in
the business world to indicate that this
is the holiday season. Preparations
for inventorying are much less Of a
factor than usual and, instead of the
slowing down process characteristic Of
the period in most branches, CONNER
cial activities are exceptionally well
sustained. Manufacturers are taxed 70
the utmost and are booked months
ahead, while only the shortage Of dye
stuffs curtals activities az the textile
mills.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 991, against 3sl
last week, 372 the preceding week and
376 the corresponding week last year:
South, e2 West and ~ in the Pacific
states, 100 TtpOtNNu iioDt4fNANo ~
81. 5.oOo or more. against lat last week.
"Bradstreet's" has the following, "A
record breaking holiday trade accom-
panies evidences Of extraordinary &C.
tivity in industrial lines, reports OF
light stocks almost everywhere. good
collections, smart activity in employ
rnent at relatively high wages. and
widespread distribution Of bonuses. On
the other hand, wholesale trade has re
ceded somewhat, in consonance with
the season Of year-end inventorying,
which takes salesmen from the road and
causes this branch Of enterprise TO tenn
porarily mark time. Jobbing trade, be-
cause OF the necessity FOR filing In de-
plcted stocks, is rather less affected by
seasonal changes.
Holiday trade is unprecedented, and
complaints are few. Apparently the
people having money 20 spend have
been spending It on useful articles, and
forwarding OF gifts has overtaxed the
postal facilities as never before. the
expected depressing sentimental infu-
ence Of the European wars on large
mart Of our population having been
TeVligible or sufficiently overbalanced
by the general spending power OF the
rnasses. Mail-order concerns report un-
paralleled activity"
