A prominent passenger otilolal in spsak
ing ycGterday of the dropping off ot travel
nlnco tho opening of tho now year, said It
Is about what wo generally expect attar a
rushing holiday business. People are now
returning to their homes utter tho usual
holiday Visits and there Is less ot outgoing
travel than at any other time. It Is al
most folly for traveling passenger agents
to ubo exponso money fn drumming up
travol at this time, when the merchants
nro all taking account ot stock aud en
gaged nt tlielr places of business in making
plans and prospecting for tho year. It is
it tlmo of relaxation after an impetus of
holiday business, and unless It may be tho
taking ndvantago of some reduced ratc3
for meetings und conventions, the month
of January promises to be the slowest for
travel In a year. I know of many people
wdio nro wait tog for Mardl flros "ralo to go

will begin to resume Us normal state.
