THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1897. JASY MONEY . TRECEEDS " PROSPRRITY Lower Interest and Easy Country Loans Show Good Times. PLENTY OF MONEY IN THE BANKS. ST Farmers Are Paying Interest Promptly and Reducing | Their Debts. LOOKING FOR MONEY There are many evidences that pros- perity upon Califor and that it wiil not be long until many new enterp are under way, Itiswell known in com- mercial circles that the first sign of -ood times appeared some time and that every symptom of prosperit has not been seen in many years, isnow upon the commercial horizon. ‘The first sign of approaching good times was an easing up of the moneyv market. Interest is lower and money much more plentiful than two years ago and than a year ago. Two yearsago it was difficult— almost impos=ible—to borrow money on country real estate, but there is very little difficulty now. One of the best informed men city on the condition cf the money mar- s Wendell Easton. Speaking of the local situation last night he said: *You will not find it difficult money at a reasonabie rate of interest on country real estate to-day, whereas it was almost impossibie last year to induce a lender to look at such an app'ication at any rate of interest. You can get gilt- edge Joans now at 61 per cent, and the owner of the mortzage will pay the taxes. | Thi to 4 per cent net, but the rate last year was 7 per cent. Money is now plentiful, and I predict that by the first of January you wiil see the bank statements showing Lwice as muca money on hand as at thesame time last year. All of the country bunks are now in good con- dition, and iney are getting money in all | the time. This is shown by the fact that they are carrying fair credits in the city nks, inetead of using their credits as | INVESTMEAT. endell Easton and W. H. Mills Show Why the Country Is About to Prosper. is in the ey did last year. The proolem that rital will soon have to face is whatto do | wiih itself. Next to tbe man whois in tand cannot pay the most miserable peTrson is the wan who has money he can- invest. £ood story is told of Nicholas g. He was coming down street one time much exercised. Some one ask him what wa. the matter and he s ‘I have $2000,000 to invest and I do not know whattodo with it. I cannot find a place to invest it.” This illustrates the condition that a number of capitalists will be in before long. “It is generally understood that a re- serve of 25 per cent in the banks is a zo0d safe business, but you will find now that the reserve is fuliy 50 per cent, and 1t wiil | not be long until” banxers are looking for good safe loans and psa i for them. At present farmers are paying interestand in many cases reducing the principal. This is readily soivea by the fact that they got nearly twice as much | for their grain as they got last year, “It must not be forgotten that the city banks are now making country loans. | This is something they have not done be- fore in two years. Of course, the absence of manufactures on this coast makes ita little difficult for us to see prosperity as hey feel it in the East, but 1t is here all thg same. There is plenty of money in the country and plenty in ihe city. Asa result, 1t will be easy for a legitimate en- | terprise to get cash now, whereas it was | almos: impossible last year.” | 1he following from tne last issue of | Current Events gives a good idea of the condition of the building trades and prospective improvements in that line of | industr Reports which reach us from many quarters Lot the inquiry which is being ma and loan &ssociations by prospective home iders, point very clearly 10 the fact that re- thirning prosperity is manifesting itseifin this branch of the buiiding and loau ness.

H. Mills of the Southern Pacific Company's land office yesterday said: | ““The balances of debts earried over bv our | { department every month since 1893 have averaged about $1,200 000 1ons have been asked Uy purchasers and | ranted. At first on.v extensions upon the principal were asked, bu: finaily they werereque- ed upon the interestaccounts.

We received more coin this month than during any three mionths since 1893 All SIgNS point 10 the revival of prosperity so tar as our department is eoncerned.’”’ Es-State Senator John Bogys, the well- known land-owner and grainegrower of Colusa County, testifies in strong lan- | =uage to the revival of good times in his | section: “The last rains were enough to | start the grain growing nicely. We had a { fall in Colnsa and Glenn counties of 13{ inches. Everything up there looks pro-- peroue. Tre farmers can get good prices for their crops this year, and a good many | new enterpris:s are being talked about. Our people are paying off their debts very rapidly, and th y are all looking for an increase of prosperity next season.’’ IN THE LOT{ERY BUSINESS. Successful Raid by the Police Upon the Rooms of J. A. Frost. A raid was made by Sergeant Martin and Policemen Fennell and Fraher yester- | day afternoon upon the rooms at 850 Mar- ket street occupied by J. A. ¥rost. The officers found several valises filled with lottery tickets, which werc seized, and Frost was 1aken to the City Prison, where he was chzrged with aiding, abet- ting ana conducting a lottery. The raid was the resuit of a complaint mude to the police by Leroy Clark, a col- ored hostler living at 722 Bush street Clark went to Frost's rooms vesterday morning and played a policy game known as ‘“the giz and saddle.” He won $9, which Frost refused to giv: him, and ne &t once went to police hesdquarters, A HUSIG FESTIVAL Associated Choral Societies | Will Give a Series of Concerts, | The Oratorio “Elijah” to Be Ren- dered by the Best Foreign and Local Talent.

There has been a great dealof interest in prison reform ever since Tne CaLy first showed that San Quentin is not a prisen, | but a pleasure-ground. It is the general opinion of jurists and well-informed citizaus that there should be a radical reform in prison methods. | The following opinions are of particular | interesi—one, that of Hon.

Delivery Company on City Hall avenue were being literally starved to death. Holbrook at once went to the place and found five horses in a stable in tne rear of the office of the company. Their appear- ance showed conclusively that they had = Ot been living on the fai ot the land. There was no sign of feed of any de- scription in any of the stalls, and there was nothing but the bare floors for the animals to lie down on. In the rear stall were two horses, and they had peen gnawing at the wooden walls to satisfy their hunger, and there was ev.dence to show that they had been forced to eat the refuse on the floor. the adjoining stall two horses had been gnaw ing at their wooden feedbox. H olbrook went to the office and asked who bad charge of the horses. H. J. Duke, a young man, replied that he was looking after them. Holbrook at once placed bim under arrest and booked him at the City Prison on a charge of cruel to »nimals, Hoibrook, before taking Duke to the | prison, ordered Lim to send for some feed | for the starvin: horses and an express wagon was at once dispatched toa grain- | dealer's place on Goiden Gate avenue, re- turning with a bale of hay, whicn the ani- mals devoured ravenously. 3. F. Echumacher, an employe of R. L. Anderson in the market adjoining the and others will be called upon as wiinesses for the prosecution. Thev wiil testify to seeing 1he horses tied on many occasions 10 posis in the yard and having | to “rustle’” for their feedalong the grounu as far as the rope would permat. The Eureka company is composed of | the young man Duke and his motner ard she called at the prison and beailed Ler son | out, “This is a case of spite,” said Mrs. | Duke, **on the part of the society and de- | livery people, About t¥0 months ago we were arrested | of our | horses hud a sore spot on its back, We | were told by the society to plead guilty | and alight fine would be imposed. *“We have six horses, but two belong to M. Joo-t on Gough street and he f-eds | them him: I can show bils from the | niay and grain dealer we deal with that I pay bim $50 a month for feed for the six horses, and Icefy any one to say that is no' enough. The horses are suffering irom worm complaint and that is why they gnaw at their stalls. It was our in- tention to send them out to pasture in a few days.”” Mr-. Duke's husband is a carpenter, but she savs he has nothing to do with the delivery business. A Flood of Adulterated FOOD COFFEE.

It is impos- | sible that the staiutes, in providing pun- | ishment for crime, should also provide for ail tiie mental ovliquities ani logical ec- cantricities of those who are to administer such punishment.
