THE MORNING ASTORIAN. ASTORIA, OREGON. , FRIDAY, NOVEMBER is. 1007. u CREDITS ARE BEING LIMITED! CONTRACTION IN MONEY CIRCULA .TION COMPELS MERCHANTS TO DEMAND THAT BttLS BE PAID PROMPTLY. Th Retail Grocers' Association of Portland has ent the following circu lar to its member and the trade gen Willys . : "Portland, Or, Not. 13. "To Our Patrons Th present un usual condition of financial affair has resulted in the temporary contraction of money circulation to a great extent. The great Northwest country, and Portland in particular, is wealthy, and haa no occasion to be alarmed unless the people unreasonably withhold titfir money. This condition has forced upon the .wholes! em the necessity of shortening their credits to the retail dealers to such an extent that all bills must now be paid in 30 days; while meat, poultry and com mission-house bills must be paid weekly. This, in turn, has required the retailer to be mote exacting in his collections in order to continue in business. : .Many of our customers nave grown careless in the payment of their accounts and in normal times this did not pre judice business generally, but the time has come when all retail customers must pay promptly at a given time, on or before the 10th of each month. Wage earners should pay the day following their pay day and no account can be permitted to run more than 30 days. "A prompt and hearty co-operation by the customers of all retailers will not only avert possible failure with its attending distress and suffering, but will insure the early return of the good times which we enjoyed up to a few .weeks ago. "Portland Retail Grocers' AssV Oommenting on the foregoing circular letter local grocers inform ns that Port land and San Francisco wholesale houses are tightening up on credits here. Half the goods are billed out on 10-day cash terms, while few bills run over 30 days. Retailers here will therefore expect all accounts to be promptly paid 00 the terms prevailing in Portland, which are liberal enough for the best end most prosperous conditions. Purloin a Flag-Staff . When ft man deliberately, and with purpose aforethought, calls out a hose wagon from the fire department, and drivva to one of the most prominent buildings on the most conspicuous street lu the city j pulls tff the ladders from the combination wagon, places them alongside the building, climbs to the roof and coolly take down the flag-staff that adorn that building, loads it onto the waiting wagon and drives back to the engine house, and takes the pole inside with the ultimate purpose of rais ing it on tjie roof of that public struc ture, what can the private owner of the de-polled building dot This is what E. M. Baker is asking himself, and the only answer he can get from Fire Chief Fos ter is that the staff did not go with the Star Theater building when Baker bought it from the city, and that he proposes to put the staff where it will do some good. The two Eds. have not fallen out about it; they are just atk' Ing question an answering them, good naturedly,' that's all. Powerful Pump-Work The popular paper drummer for Blake McFall Company, of Portland, Kenneth O'Losne, who is immensely .well liked in this part of the world, but who is short on a technical understanding of "hydrau lies," got off a good thing yestrday, si belt, he was quite unconscious of the fun of it t the time. He was standing. with some friends, by the side of the mice excavation made for the new Weinhard-Astori Hotel, and as it was the hour of low water, the ground in the great basement was practically dry, which led this Irishman to remark, in all sincerity, "Where the dickens are the pumps that exhaust this basin; I was here yesterday morning and tie blamed place was full of water?" O'Losne was astonished at the laugh that, went up on all sides, and did a bit of a smile him self when informed that the tides of the sea were not yet barred from the premises.
