HENRY CLEWS WEEKLY ' FINANCIAL LETTER era of reconstruction and new develop ment will ensue la Mexico. This will afford relief where financial strain has been greatest, and in due season there will undoubtedly be a rush of new en terprises for development of the vast and rich resources of that portion of this continent. The main reason for stock market inertia has been lack of confidence, and this lark of confidence must be primari. ly attributed to the industrial and fin ancial reaction which started with the Balkan War and has spread over the entire world. This is the prime cause of present conditions which our poli ticians have aggravated rather thau soften. The worldwide trade reaction proved by the accumulation of the idle funds in all the principal money markets of the world, where thero has been the same lack of confidence as in the United States. It remains to be seen how far cheap money, good crops and Western optimism will counteract idle nulls and .astern pessimists. All indications point to a coming turn for the better. Tms market has been thor oughly liquidated, and a fair recovery is justified by the uiore favorable tenor or recent events; not to speak of iVe ample discounting of unfavorable events which b:is already taken place. ,With such weak stocks as Missouri Pa cific, Denver, N'ew Haven and Chesa peake & Ohio it was only natural that the balanco of the list should display hesitation. Indeed, it is surprising that tne market stuwed such sustaining power. The almost total ecliiwe of Rock island, Kan Francisco, Missouri Pacitic and Denver security values would, under oulinary circumstances, be Biificient to create a panic. It miiBt' be believed, therefore, that the present is no ordinary occasion. Notwithstanding these eruptions, holders of standard se curities refuse to be frightened, and pntiently cling to their belongings in the belief thnt sooner or later they are bound ' to improve on investment buying. The disposition of the President to consult large imsiness interests is, if continued, likely to produce important results. There is no question that all sections of the nation are beginning to feel that there has now been enough antagonism against big business and corporate interests) and there is no doubt that if the countyy were left to its own resources tor a reasonable tiino general confidence and piosperity would be restored "a consummation devout ly to be wished.." HENRY CLEWS. umentary evidence demanded by the United States customs servico "in con nection with charges of undervaluation of imports, marks a definite' stand against the activity in France of Amer ican customs agents.

REINHART'S, THE QUALITY SHOE STORE 444 STATE ST.. SALEM, ORE. Women's Shoes, worth up to $5, now $1.50 At the Big Shoe FIRE SALE New York, July 11, 1914. The hap penings of the week have upon the wholo been of a favorable character. The most encouraging development was the Jnly crop report of the Deirtment of Agriculture. This report indicates a crop of fully 930,000,000 bushels of wheat, against 760,000,000 tms.iels a year ago; a crop of z,8us,uuu,uuu Dtisn- cls of corn, as against 2,440,000,000 bushels a year ago; a crop of oats of 1,200,000,000. bushels, compared with 1,122,000,000 bushels a year ago. The estimated farm value of the wheat crop is placed at $700,000,000; corn over $2,000,000,000, and oats over $40,000, 000. These amounts of course represent only a portion of the total agricultural products of the country, which this vcar are expected to reach a value of fully $10,000,000,000. The creation of so large an amount of new wealth must inevitably have a stimulating effect upon general busi ness. This fact is particularly realized in the Western or Agricultural states, where the feeling is universally op timistic. Western railroads are busily preparing to handle the vast traffic which this will create; and there is al ready a pleasing diminution in toe num rRTJTT CROP ESTIMATES TOR ENTIRE COUNTRY Following are the pear, prune and plum estimates for the year 1014, ga thered by a careful snrvcy of the fruit uisrncis: Tears. The condition of 'the pear jjrop throughout the United Btatcs, although even more difficult to determine than the apple crop, promises less than "nor mal" production this season, although the pear crop is nbove the six-year av crage. The department of agriculture estimates it tit 08.4 per cent, and the tix-year average at 05.3 per cent, or, in other words, it puts this season's pear crop at 104.7 per" cent of the six-year average More recent reports from tho large pear growing sVctions, however. show a slight falling off from this fig ure, according to a bulletin issued by the North Pacific Fruit Distributors. The outlook in various sections of the country is given by the bulletin as follows: Northwest Yakima will hnvo a nor mal crop; II. .od River's crop is re portedto be about the same- as last year; Wcnatcliee will have a little heavier crop than in 1913; southern Idaho's crop will be light; (Spokane's crop, which is small, will be a little above lr.st year; Wulln Wulla's crop is considered normal, although a percent age of the early buds were injured; central Idaho-Washington, including Garfield and Moscow and the Pnlouso the reports are not ultogeth Garfield and Moscow and the Palouse j generally, the erop was decreased early j n the season, being declared almost a failure. The commercial output, as compared to last year, uadoubtedly will 1 be light; western Oregon the crop was ( badly damaged early in the season. . While it will be short, it is not the ' failure that was anticipated some tint : ago. As a wbole, tho Urcgon erop is estimated at about one-fifth of a full erop. In western Washington the crop j ta spotted and somewhat short, and in many orchards there will be none. Other western districts California s crop is said to be light because the blossoms did not set well, the average of the 10 lurgest prune counties being , figured at 33.8 per cent of normal. Col orado and Utah's crops are declared; to be somewhere near normal. East Crops are reported as follows: i New Jersey, 100 per cent; Delaware, i only a few; Pennsylvania, 50 per cent; ; Ohio, full crop, although there has been more blight than usual; Miclugnu, 79 per cent. I Kouth Texas will have only a 40 per cent crop in ninny sections. .Middle west Iowa s crop is cstimat-; ed at 85 per cent, which is less thnn I 1013; Kansas, 42 per centi'tho crop in .Missouri and Arkansas was practically destroyed by frost. I tanada In western . Onturio there will be a nuirked shortage, ,nglund'g crop is materially reduced by the heavy frost. MASKED ROBBERS HOLD UP THE STAGE Two Highwaymen Hold Up Auto-Stage Near Coiusa, Cal., and "Earn" Only Fifteen Dollars at the Job. Colusa, Cal., July 17. Colusa and Lako counties poMi were both scour ing the country along tho county line in the vicinity of the Hriu grade today for the two highwaymeu who held up the Williums-liartlett Springs auto stago on tho grado Thuisday afternoon. The masked outlaws stopped the stage very neatly, covered Driver Wil liam Quigley with thoir rifles, made the passengers lino up at tho roadside and hastily searched the men among tbem for their valuables. They seemed very nervous, however, and did not attempt to search the automobile ton nt'aii, into which tho women had hastily dropped - their handbags, containing money and jewelry to amount of sev eral 'hundred dollars. From the men they secured only $12 or $13. The spot where the robbery occurred is a lonely one and bas been the scene of several holdups. SATURDAY I will be our surprise day.

The dry goods trade is, of course, feeling the effects of general depression at the .distributing cni, and high prices for raw material and labor at the manufacturer's end. An added element of uncertainty is the new tariff, which is admitting woolen fabrics and fancy cotton goods much more freelv than when it first went I into operation. The steel trade thus far j lias not been materially affected by the i new duties. The country already ex ports far more steel products than it ; imports, and is not in any serious dan ger from the new schedule; although lower prices abroad would probably ad mit moderate quantities of certain pro- : ducts in the seaboard markets of the j United States.
