The most reliable estimates place England's Christmas spendings at considerably less than a year aso. as a result of the bus! nesa depression which is becoming more pronounced dally. This ' do- crease, however, is said to bo accom panied only by a reduction in value, indications showing that there will be no diminution In volume. Mer chants declare that this Is conclusive evidence that tho hard times have af fected both the masses and tho classes all of whom, while1 lnteut-oh perpetu ating the traditional splendor of the English holiday season, have found it necessary to indulge themselves on a considerably cheaper basis. The absence o many notable society folk. who have gone to India for the Dur bar and of a still larger number who have fled to the Riviera for the sea son Is making itself felt in the West end shops. As usual at this time of year the curbs throughout the city are lined with hawkers, ranging from old men to more babies. The mer chants have drawn their recruits for holiday time largely from families whoso regular means of breadwlnnlng In shop and factory have vanished. Meeting of Real .Estate Men.

Eneland nava i-.00D.000 a year for London, Dec. 18. The cabinet meeting is discussing the Venezuelan question this afternoon. Important negotiations aro proceeding between Washington and London which may strain the Anglo-German Joint action. Germany Is believed to have de clined to accept arbitration. England is willlnc but can not dissolve nart- nership with Germany, as they agreed they 'would act together until the final settlement. America is trying to persuade Eng land If she takes a strong pro-arbitration attitude Germany will be com pelled to accept. England has not yet replied to Washington. King Addresses Session. London, Dec. 18. The king this afternoon addressed a joint session of parliament. After a general review he referred to Venezuela as follows: "I regret the constant complaints which my government has found it necessary to address Venezuela in re gard to unjustifiable acts against British subjects and property and that It has finally become necessary to Insist upon measures of redress." In the course of a long statement in the house of commons, Premier Balfour said there was no such thing as a "Pacific blockade." A state of war actually existed with Venezuela and an Intimation of the blockade would shortly be given to the powers. TVIr. Balfour added that the blockade would bo carried out with as little in convenience to neutrals as possible. Nothing definite had occurred with reference to the arbitration proposal since his previous statement on the subject. The premier also said the opera tions were reluctantly undertaken, not to recover debts, but after a long and patient delay to recover compen sation for assaults on British subjects and the seizure of British vessels. He believed that the Germans also had claims besides the financial ones. Mr. Healcy, Irish nationalist, asked If the United' States asscntrd to thq uiocuauc which wound exclude United States vessels. Mr. Ballour replied: "Neutrals are not consulted when we are in a state of war with a third party." "It war ueclared?" asked Mr. Ilea ley. The premier replied: "Does the honorable member sup- 1-oso that without a stato of war you can take vessels and have a block ade?" Replying to further questions, Mr. Balfour said he had nothing to add regarding arbitration beyond what was continued in his previous stile- ments. Papers were being prepared and would bo presented to the house as soon as possible. He assumed they would include the communications which had passed on the subject of the blockade between the United States and Great Britain. Doubts the Story. Washington, Dec. IS. The state department is inclined to doubt Pres ident Castro's having given authority to Minister Bowen to settle the dis pute.
