SHOPPING EXTRAORDINARY
"The Somnie tottle has been *the best tonic that tlio business of this country has had since the war began." This remark, made by tho head of one of the 'largest business establishments in London, Teflects the general opinion of the directors of most of the big stores catering for the general public, says the "Weekly Dispatch." The shops were never more crowded, not did money over change hands more freely. The shopping scenes in such business thoroughfares as Oxford Street and Eegent Street Tecall the palmiest days in peace times. Managers lof stores, wearing a perpetual smile, freely admit that the enormous access of business amazes them. The explanation everywhere given is the same. The middle classes are making the money out of the war and are spending it. A great part of the money which the nation is spending oe tho war in this coiuitry is finding its way into the shops. Money is circulating so fieely that even with,shorter hours the receipts are much heayier than normal.
