MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 1910. 12 Watch This Page for Advertisements of Good Things to Eat it BUSINESS Will ADJUST-CLEW8 In Financial Review Henry Clews States That Money Is Easier and That Conditions Will Soon oe Normal. NEW YORK, Aur. 27. Ilenry Clows in his financial review says: "Wo are now in a slapj of the year when conditions where least favorable to activity. ' It is vncatiou time and the number of absentees is large. Our harvest still possess some uncertainties, and it i3 the period botweeu seasons when ccun- aacrcial operations are generally at minimum. Such conditions are, of course, not calculated to stimulate activity. Nevertheless, the tenden cies arc towards improvement, and tho inertia which now exists in tho business world is what was most needed to permit of readjustment and lay the basis for a fresh re covery later on. Money Is Easier "The greatest betterment has been " in tho monetary situation. Owing to xccent pressure exerted by banks in all parts of the country, prospects of a money squeeze this autumn which once caused considerable ap prehension, have now been reduced to a minimum. At worst there is nothing to be feared except possibly local and temporary stringency when the crops move. The eastern banks have greatly strengthened their re sources, and will bo abundantly able to meet any interior dimands. Li liquidntion has also materially strengthened the interior. The sur plus reserve of the New York banks is now over $55,000,000, having shown a remarkable rise in the past five or six weeks. We have already imported about $20,000,000 of gold, which has proved sufficient, although only half of the $40,000,000 which it was anticipated would be required only a few weeks ago. Political Uneasiness "Some uneasiness is felt regarding the political situation; but it must be remembered that the actual effect of politics upon business is generally less in fact than in sentiment. When economic conditions become sounder, business will promptly rally with comparatively little regard to poli tics. Our foreign trads, though showing very' unsatisfactory results for the entire fiscal year, is at Inst giving signs of return to the normal. Though imports continue very hear- amounting to $117,000,000 in July, or nearly $5,000,000 in ex cess of last 3ear, exports reached $114,500,000, or a littlo more than $5,000,000 in excess of the same month of last year. The July ex ports have been only exceeded onco in tho banner year 1907; and there has been a steady gain over Inst year each month since February'. Our imports have, as everyone knows, been stimulated by business activity, high prices and general extrava gance; our purchasos of luxuries fiom Europo, particularly precious stones, being remarkably heavy. "Tho present tendency, however. This department Is a regular week ly feature, dealing with all phases of the fruit and produce world. To our stockholders and friends: Tho past weok has about cleaned up our shipments of Howolls and tho coming week will In all probability! we will commence to pack Bosc and ' d'AnJous. Our Dose, d'AnJous and Cornice do boUer on sorno markets than others, aud It Is Important that wo load straight cars of each varie ty. This being tho fact, tho man agement would appreciate it If each grower who has pears of theso varie ties would try and co-operato with us bo that wo may pack and load at tho proper time. Thoro has boon soma drop pears the past weok, and thinking It might bo possible to ship them oast, wo took tho matter up with our distribu ting agents Stewart Fruit company, and they advlso that thoy thought It would do us' more harm than good, consequently this class of pears must not bo shipped. Pears being a littlo Immature and slightly bruised would decay before ripening, Apples, Wo have boon packing and ship ping small lots of summer apples for our members and audi roturns, towards economy, lessened activity, and lower prices will eventually have the effect of discouraging imports and stimulating exports; tuns bring ing our foreign trade back to more normal conditions. It i3 unfortun ate that our crops this year aro not larger, but some offset to this draw back will be found in increasing shipments of manufactured articles. Europo will be obliged to buy our cotton freely at good prices, and this will bo an important factor in adjusting our trade balances. Our exports of food products, however, promise to be strictly moderate, as wo have relatively littlo to spare and our urices are still too high to tempt foreign buying. During tho first six months Europo was a liber al purchaser of our securities, to which cause we are no doubt indebt ed for recvit gold imports in face of an adverse merchandise balance. It is hardly to bo expected that for eign capital will flow into the United States with the same freedom in tho latter half of 1910 as in tho first half; and the situation is now less favorable to gold imjorts. EVERYTHING READY FOR VETERANS' MEET GOLD HILL, Aug. 27.

GIFMS LIAR Characterizes Statmcnt of Ex-forester as Short and Ugly Word Says He Never Approved the Forest Service. DEN7EK, Colo., Aug. 27. Reply ing to a statement of Gifford Piu chot that certain congressmen stood in tho way of appropriations for bet ter equipment for tho forest service, Congressman Mondell of Wyoming one of those mentioned by Pinohot, said to tho United Press teday: "I find it difficult to believe that any ono has associated with such a false and scandalous statement. I have never at any timo or place ridi culed the forest service with regard to fires. I do not oven recall ever having mentioned tho service in con nection with fires unless it was with eommendntion. I do not recall hav ing expressed myself one way or another in the past or recently re garding fires, except to express the hope that they t-oon would be ex tinguished. "Whoever made and circulated the story ought to know that it can only be characterized properly by the short and ugly word." TWO VESSELS ARE PILED ON BEACH LONDON, Aug. 27.
