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. The com
mittee in chnrge of the entertain
ment program for the eighteenth an
nual encampment of the Southern
Oregon Soldiers' and Sailors' Re
union association, to bo held here
September 12, 1G, report that an
amount adequate for tho necessary
expenses has been subscribed. Camp
grounds have been selected in a
handsome grove of oaks just west of
tho ball grounds, with city water and
a good well in easy reach. Fuel and
straw will bo hauled to tho grounds,
with lumber for the floors of the
tents nnd grandstand. The use of
the lumber is donated by the Gold
Hill Lumber company. Donations of
work to put the grounds in shape
will bo solicited.
SAN DIEGO STILL
HOPES FOR EXPOSITION
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 27. The
first movement on the part of local
state societies to aid the San Din-1 TOPEKA, Kas., Aug. 27. When
go exposition in 1915. was started, Governor Stubbs, chief insurgent of

state, .field, former secretary of the iuter-
Tii m;,.!, In--. n anniniv nf Loh An- ior. will attend. Iniisurgents hero
geles will be asked to assist in the
movement. The plan is to use the
buildings of the various states for
a great Pan-American University
after the exposition closes.
To sell It cheaper than any one else
Is Important storo advlco. If you
let tho people know about It, you'll
get them Interested In your store
scores of them, who only "know",
where It Is now.
IN THE FRUIT GROWING WORLD
as we have had have been very satis
factory. Any member having small
or largo lots of apples to market at
this tlmo should advlso this office.
Wo aro ready to take them In at any
tlmo. Wo should watch our earlier
varieties onfall apples very closely.
It seems that some of them aro rip
ening very rapidly and seeds aro
turning bzlack. It looko now as
though wo would havo to give our
Jonathans attention by September 15
If not before.
Supplies.
Again call your attention to plac
ing nn order for rubber stamps, pa
per, labels and shook. People who
supply our boxeB aro being delayed
in filling orders on account of tho
scarcity of lumber. It seems as
though whoa wo aro uuro of what
wo want wo should got It distribut
ed among our growerB so that at tho
last moment some of then will not
bo disappointed.
Pear Sales.
Taking Into consideration that our
pears aro about two wooks earlier
than usual and going Into compe
tition as we do with 25 to 30 cars of
California poais still passing Sacra

MONDELL SAYS
. 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."
