The record- breaking volume of - mail which has been entering and leaving the Charlottetown Post Office for the past several days is still continuing and signs of wcari- ness are bCglnllillg to become mani- fest aniongthemailclcrks, officials said last night.

Yesterday the automatic stump- ing machine put through 83.000 letters which is an all-time high. Officials said that more parcels had come to the local Post Office from the United States within the last few days than had entered during any other Christmas season

They said the staff were "Work- lng around the clock" and were locking forward to the sharp drop in incoming and outgoing mail which is sure to come within the cert two days.

Charlotteioivn business places have been throngcd with cagcr customers for the past week and

several City stores reported yester- day that Christmas sales will equal and, in some instances. exceed those of last year.

One merchant said he attributed the fact that his sales were some- what greater than those of last Christmas season to his wider slot-k range Last. season, he said, there was not the diversity of goods on the silcivcs as at present and many people had. for that reason, not. purchased to the linlt they hadi budgeted for.

'I‘l'lis season, it. is diflrceut. There is a. much wider range front which to choose and many of the new goods are superior both in quulliv and appearance to ihosc with which customers hzul to content themselves during and immediately

when the students presented their annual Christmas concert.

The program consisting of three definite parts suited respectively to juniors, intermediates and sen- iors, was very well selected and presented.

The Nativity Play was the fav- orite number for many in the audience. Here all the children from Grade I took over."rliey spoke so feelingly and played their voles so naturally that one felt these little ones had captured the spirit of the Christmas story which they were telling. Three senior girls representing the Blessed Vir- gin and the Angels of Love and Peaae completed the lovely set- ting. ‘

Local retailers who are handling turkeys. geese, ducks and chicken for the (Ihristmas trade. reported last night that the supply of these fowl is in excess of the demand and that all species of fowl are now “moving slow."

One large retailers said the main reason for the large quantities of ‘turkeys, geese, ducks, and chicken. now being brought into the City from the country districts, is that too much importance was attached to recent shipments of fowl to the United States with the result that the impression was created that all types oi’ fowl were going to be scarce in the Province.

As a consequence. persons with such live fowl began killing them off and rushing them to the City where many of the farmers had u difficult time to dispose of their turkeys at 68 cents a pound. geese at. 48 and 50 cents, and chicken and ducks at. about the same price.

Grade A turkeys, in slow de- mend. are retailing at 75 cents a pound, geese at from 55 to G0 cents n pound. ducks at 55 cents, and chickens at 60 cents.
