Uih district, the latest statement of
the Board says:
"In this district there is general
abundance of crops in great variety.
There has slready been much harvest
ing and other crops have been satis
factorily progressing to maturity. It Is
reported thst the greatest cereal crop
In the history of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho is now being gathered. Fresh
fruits, melons and vegetables are in
large supply.
"Ordinarily such conditions would
Insure prosperity; war conditions, how
ever. Introduce elements of surprising
uncertainty. The lack of bottoms for
export hamper the marketing of the
cereal crops: warehouses are lilling, and
It Is probable that grain will move
slowly from growers' hands. It seems
reasonable to expect that delayed
marketing ' may have a tendency tj
delay trade-activity.

"Chinese capitalists are said to be
laying pluns for a trans-Pacltio line of
steamers. More ships would be a great
advantage to the Pacific Coast. Never
theless, during the first six months of

I39.000.0u0 as i against 124.000.000 for
the same period In 1914a imports in
creasing from 3S.4O0.0OO to $7,800,000.
"Bank clearings give a rough
measure of trsde activity. Total clear
ings for the four leading Pacific Coast
cities during the first six months of
this year have been approximately 7
per cent less than for the first six
months of 1914. This moderate curtail
ment of business is further evidenced
by the considerable incresfte of idle
funds In both National and state banks
throughout the district. During this
Fall, as is usual each Fall, there will.
of course, be a considerable Increase in
the segregate loans, but there seems
reason to believe that the available
meifiis of the banks of tlfis district are
such as readily, to meet the require
ments." FARMING COURSE ADDED
