Talnstaklng Inquiry In mercantile
Wrclea of New Tork shows that in the
vast majority of cases collections are
' as good, or nearly so, as they were laat

.ever, be understood from this that the
monetary conditions are not ' felt in
trade, they are felt, but so far.aa can
te ascertained the effect thus'far in
dry goods and kindred trades is that
there are fewer anticipations ot maiuri

! Sfatint note of conservatism run
ning through all the reports made by
the New York merchants. There Is a
"'. distinct recognition or tne money rar-
ket conditions, snd in many cases. a be
lief that the depression in Wall street
must necessarily, sooner or later, com
' munlcate itself to general trade. There
' 1s not a little anticipation of a con
traction In the volume of business next
year, and in some cases actual meas
ures have been taken by the merchants
In anticipation of such a contraction.
' 1 'There Is, however, not a single note
v- of pessimism to be found in all the
statements made by the leading mer
chants In New York. Their reports
'" fthow that business condition are in a
. strong position. The volume of ..busi
ness is now. and has been since Janu
ary I. In excess of last year, with gen
i --rally increased profits. The products
of cotton mills are sold ahead, some of
tnm as far as October, 10S. It is true,
however, that in a few Instances the
merchants report that, while they are
busily employed filling in orders made,
far in advance, their fresh, sales are
rather small. In the grocery trade
there hasn't been a -better year than !
this, and the only cloud upon the situa
tion now ia the scarcity of goods and
the fear that Wall atreet conditions will
gradually affect general business.

"One of the most remarkable situa

and Is generally the first to show any
feigns of bard times. Tet this trade is
now, and nan oeen ror ine past two
years, experiencing the most prosperous
conditions in a generation. Collections

business .In which collections are al-

"The jewelers are looking forward to

lishment ot a cane sugar refinery very
profitable. The sugar could be Just
as easily orougnt to tnia city as io
San Francisco and the steamers or
ships bringing the cargoes could receive
a sufficient return load to make . the
shipment highly profitable.
The establishment of a surar refin
ery in this city would greatly simplify
the distributing of sugar all through
the Pacific northwest and down Into
the California line. With the establish
ing of such a line the freight charges
between this city and California would
be cut out because the shipments of
raw stock could be made as cheaply
to this city as to the present, refineries
In California. A refinery in this city
would likewise be a benefit to the trade
here because supplies could be more
easily and promptly delivered than they
can at present because of the long haul
over the mountains from San Francisco
If coming by rati and the tedious de
lays if coming by steamer because of
the lack of facilities,
The proposed refinery would like
wise be a benefit to the trade of the
Pacific nortwest inasmuch as It would
allow them to carry - smaller supplies
than they do at present and yet, be in
a much better position to supply their
trade than they would if shipments
bad to be made from Ban Francisco.-
A beet sugar refinery would like-J
wise be a paying investment in this
city according to the local trade be
cause In a large city like Portland the
labor to run a plant could be more
easily secured. This refinery would
pay even better than the cane establish
ment beoause the beets could be raised
very close to this city; thus insuring
a Very large -market right at the very
door of the sugar production from the
raising of the beets to the time the
product ts sacked and ready for mar
ket This would in all probability stim
ulate the beet sugar Industry to a great
extent
Every year there Is an increasing
volume, of beet sugar cansumed as
well as produced, hence the necessity
for more refineries, and one located
nearer the demand. No better place
could possibly be secured for the grow
ing of the beet than the immediate vicin
ity or rortiano 'ana experts say me
soil here has proven wonderfully rich
ior me culture or sugar peets. it in
tatea trial samples., or ugar neeta
raised in this vicinity have a higher
percentage of tfugar than elsewhere.
From a business point of view bus
iness men ot Portland claim there is
no reason why such a plant ahould not
be established either In the heart of
the city or In the suburbs; right on
the. railroad lines where the very beat
"of transportation can . be secured to
any part of the country. 'With such
a plant in operation the sugar sellers
of the northwest, would be saved In
terest on the money that would other
wise be tied up in a sufficient amount
of sugar to allow them to supply their
trade until more shipments could be
secured from the south.
Eastern banker are now looking to
the Paclflo coast for money, and In
vestors who have usually been looked
for In 'the east to place their surplus
cash in Pacific coast realty are casting
about In western financial circles to
feel the puis of the money markets. It
Is said that the strength of the coast
today In money matters Is felt more
strongly throughout the country than
ever before.
On eastern industrial concern whose
millions have heretofore come from be
yond the Mississippi river for Invest
ment wept of that waterway writes to
a Paclno coast banker like this:
"ws are in the market for some
money at this time, and can take some
from you at IH per cent per annum for
four or six months. If that Is your
pleasure,"
It Is said the coast has much money
but not enough for its growing needs.
and that all it has will be required for
local development uses.
"September is usually, like August
waiting montn. ome years invest
ment picks up In September, but not el
ways, depending on relative conditions.''
said E. Lk Thompson of Hartman A
Thompson. "This year there IS on hand
the heaviest crop movement in the his
tory of the northwest It Is a heavy
drag on the banks and the country
Danas are arm wing neavuy on mo ci
banks. These are not what one cou
call dull times,-but simply waiting for
events of the immediate future to
transpire. As soon as the great crop Is
released to foreign shipment there will
oe great quantities or money axioat in
addition to the unusually large yield,
the price of wheat Is 86 cents, and
therefore it requites nearly 16 per cent
more money than ordinarily to handle
It"
It is said there has . not been any
very heavy individual Investment of
outside capital made in the city or state
during the last month, although a great
aggregate sum of small investments
have flowed in. along usual channels.
The waiting game Is evidently being
played by outsiders as well as .those
here on the ground.
Portland bank clearings for the week
ending today were approximately
17.000.000 as compared with 16.924.167.13
for the same week a year ago.' The in
crease of about 17 per cent is much
smaller than the rate of increase that
has been recorded by the Portland
clearing house most weeks of the cur
rent year. Some weeks, the gain has
reached 40 and 46 per cent

Since March L i06 the Great North
ern railway has increased the number
Of Its engines by 42 per cent and has
added 10,000 freight cars to its equip
ment. The above statement was made by
Louis W. Hill, president of the Great
Northern, while on' a recent visit to
New York. Continuing, Mr. Hill aald.
"whatever freight congestion there may
be this ' coming fall and winter will
not be due to an Insufficient supply
of cars and engines. Last year's con-
?:estlon was not due to that cause so
ar as our road was concerned. Mv
observation Is that about every 10 years
we encounter a fierce winter and thn
no amount of precaution avails ' to keep
me lines clear.

summer months, we have handled more
than twice as much coal as a year aaro.
