Jewelry Business is Lending. Some Merchants Iteport - Light Trade, Qthers Heavy. . . With a view to ascertain this I year's Christmas trade a number of local merchants were visited yester day Afternoon and early this morn ing, and, as one expressed it, the hol iday trade of this year was found to present unusual conditions that are difficult to fret a line on. From all reports the indications are that the volume of business that will be done up to and including; Saturday night will compare favorably with that of last year. One noticeable feature of this season was the amount of early trade. which one merchant ascribed to the work of the papers in calling attention to the shopping days and iirsinf? the buyers to get out early. Another condition that seems to be hreneral is that the number of buy ers has beon grearer while the value of individual purchases is loss than last year. The jewolry stores report, a koocI business, equal to, if not better than, last year. One firm said the quan tity and quality of sales showed an I increase. Another house stated that while possibly the number of sales so far were not. quite so heavy as last season, the value of the sales had in creased. The dry goods houses report a I good trade in small purchases. Like I the jewelry men they say the trade started earlier than heretofore and up until last Saturday night bade fair to surpass the big business of last year. With few exceptions this week's trade had not shown up so I well, yet today and tomorrow's sales may bring np the average consider ably. Several dry goods men re ported heavy Bales, while others re ported the usual holiday trade. The general tone in this line seemed, so far, to lie good, with indications of a general average equal, at least, to that of last year. The hardware men expressed satis- faction at the showing up to now, ana .some -.reported increased noli- day business. 'The drug store, trade seems to be I short, though one or two reported heavy sales. One said the candy and cigar trade was not up to the aver- ago, while another reported the .gen- average. One said it was bum, and another said fair. The grocery trade Is normal and will probably show up good "by to morrow night. The fruit and candy trade has been short, so far, as compared with last year The trade in toys has been good, the buyers more numerous, though the price of each purchase has prob ably been a little less. Of coirse, just, how heavy the trade of today and tomorrow will be is purely guesswork.: as Christmas shonnfnir is niwavs nn nncprtnin quantity unless the country is either in the midst of financial prosperity or depression. The last two days may bring the general trade up to and even above last year s, but so tar, while good in certain lines, it has not been up to that of last season. The season has, so far, shown an increased number of purchases, smaller purchases and early trade. The shoppers have all so far shown better judgment in buying than heretofore, the purchases generally being useful articles instead of non sensical gifts that have charaterized so many other Christmas presents. To sum up, the trade this year will likely prove very gratifying under the circumstances. Unusual Gift Nunnally's famous candies make the most delightful sort of gift. Everyone , w h o eats candies appre ciates them more than any others be cause they are so ir resistibly good. candies for over a quar ter century have Deen standard in the South thehighesttestof purity. -"' and , TUCKER BCILDLa , PHAIDUCY, An i I it ' t if f tf i p ; i rs. - 1 Srcne from "Im Smnaritiiine," Federation' f Catholic Societies lias Xe Vork. ,i the picture, Sarah i- n r ' ir i m i m i i m a i i in m ,- tress, is shown at Jacob's ivll in conversation with a character represent nijS Cliiist.
