n Long Time to Come.
If any one doubts that prospeilty Is
tettirnlng to this comer of the enith
he has only to conmilt the Scrnnton
merchants today to have his doubts
removed. Fiom every side comes the
report of the most stupendous holiday
business the city has even known, and
tho manne-i In which the masses spent
money at Chilstmas Is conceded to be
an unfailing barometer of the finan
cial condition of the times.
During recent years the merchants
bought sparingly at Chilstmas time,
nnd even at that In many cases there
was a huge dead stock to he carried
over or sold to "fat ins" nt sacrifice
llgtue-s. This enr, with confidence
brim of the good times that have pre
vailed and promise to continue, tlry
bought unusual large stocks, and tttte
to their expectations got rid of them.
Tho clearing house repents for last
week showed a shrinkage of $110,000 as
computed with the corresponding week
of lust year, but this Secretary II. C.
Anderson explained, was clue to tlio
fact that last year at this time the
deposits vvcte swollen nbnoimally by
icafion of several big speculative nego
tiations being on. a lnige water deal
among them Next week he expects
will offer a fairer compatlson.
There was no mistaking the fact that
It was an unusually big Christmas
week, taking any of the ordlnniy signs
to judge by. For four davs the street
car company had all It could do to care
for the ctowds that thronged Into the
cential city fiom the suburbs nnd sur
rounding towns The streets had a "cir
cus day" appearance almost all week
long. The theaters did a big business
light along, and on Chilstmas Day
theie wasn't a vacant seat to be had
at any of the houses. Thousands of
dollars were sent to circulate In a
thousand channels, and the beneficent
lesult wijl be felt for a long time to
come.

Iu making presents noth
ing could be more thoughtful
in the giver or bring more
solid comfort to the receiver,
whether man, woman or child,

slippers than iu giving other
and less useful things.
