It is perceived that part of the expected improvement was not realized and some unfavorable de- velopments have been taken into ac- | count. As the period for the maturity of the crops approaches, attention is concentrated on the out- come, the more so as the final stages o their maturity are recognized as the most critical. In reviewing the course of the late rise in stocks it is easily recognized that the crop prospects of which it was initiated have been ma- terially modified. Severe reductions in estimates of all three of the leading crops—wheat, corn and cotton—have had to be made, and in the cases of ccrn and cotton the process is still go- ng on. The estimates of the corn crop generally accepted in Wall street thi week have been settled at about two ! s, or below, with the cor- billion bush roboratory testimony of authorities on whom the financial world places high value. The fact is impressed by a pro. cess of retrospection that a flood of rumo and assertions has been made of enormous buying of stocks and wide advances in their price for days and even weeks, and then thrown aside and forgotten without being realized. SPECULATIVE EXCITEMENTS. Expected dividend increases, great combinations and absorptions of rali- road tems and alleged contests for ccntrol in the open market have been made to feed speculative excitéments continuously and then relegated to tt obscurity of unwarranted rumors with- out material after-effect on the prices which they had served to enhance. The extent of the revival in the iron and steel trade is a matter of.constant dixcussion nd dispute in the Wa street district. The effect of the week cut in steel billet: Ithough long fore- seen, was bad, as was the opinion ex- pressed by trade authorities that pre- vious cuts in other forms had induced but a moderate response from cus- tomers. The week's principal rumors entered about Union Pacific, but they proved so numerous and contradictory as to impair their influence and were dropped out of consideration. The withdrawal of funds from New York by the interior has continued, and for- mer estimates of the unlimited suf- ficiency of the banking surplus have been revived, influenced by the rapid rate of depletion of three previous weeks. Interest rates are still on a very moderate basis and the ranid de- cline in foreign exchange has indicated that relief by gold imports might be made in case of any urgent need. But the rising course of loans has had a deterrent effect on speculation. The incoming reports to the Con- troller of the September 6 condition of national banks throughout the country disclose a state of reserves in the South and West that offers no prospect of less than a normal call upon New York for autumn require- ments. The reduced demand for money at the Stock Exchange, prompted by the perception of those conditions, is believed to be the cause for the slightly easier tone of the money market in the middle of the week. Reports of railroad earnings and of the course of general business have been regarded as satisfactory, but have lacked influence on stocks, owing to their agreement with expeectations, which has induced previous operations in stocks. The bond market has been irregular and somewhat less active. United States fours and the old fours regular have advanced %, the threes 33 andthe old fours coupon ¥%: per cent on call during the week. —_———— STRANGER FOUND AT DEPOT DIES IN COUNTY HOSPITAL Death Prevents Authorities Learning Identity of Man Picked Up in Suisun.

SWALLOWSGLASS OF PHOSPHOROUS Mary Valanzerinio, Jilted in Love, Puts Matches in Water and Drinks Potion MOB DEFIES THE POLICE Officer and Hospital Attend- ants Are Held at Bay by Frenzied Father With Club Pretty Mary Valanzerinio of 215 Val- lejo street made a desperate attempt to commit suicide at her home last night by swallowing a large glassful of water impregnated with phosphorus. The young woman was jilted in love and decided that death was sweeter than an unrequited affection. Mary, who is employed in a Stockton street millinery store, was engaged to a young Italian fisherman, who was working in Alaska. A week ago he returned and found her in the com- pany of another Her explanations were of no avail, and he told her to go and have nothing more to do with him. The girl, who is but 18 years | of age, brooded over the loss of her swain. Last night she went to the corner grocery and purchased five cents worth of block matches. She took them to her roum, cut all the heads off, placed them in a glass of water, and when the phosphorus had dissolved, drank the fatal potion. She was found by her father writh- ing on the floor of her little room. The rest of the family were summoned and the excitement they created alarmed the neighborhood. When Policeman Robert Silver attempted to enter the room he was warned back by the fren- zied father, who threateningly bran- dished a huge club at the patrolman’s head. Silver saw that the girl was near dead and finding it useless to reason with the parent rang in for the Harbor Hospital ambulance. When | that vehicle arrived at the house and the doctor and steward carried in the stretcher the crowd of Italians, by this time aftracted to the domicile, refused to allow the young woman to be re- moved. The policema: and hospital attaches tried in vain to explain that their course for the girl's good, but the foreigners refused to under- stand. The father fell frantically on the unconscious form or his daughter and cried ‘aloud that she would never be taken from him. Finally, after much wild talk and gesticulating, the Italians acceded to the policeman summoning a doctor. The physician came ana after working over the girl for two hours got her out The ambulance was com- pelled to return empty, the Italians seeming to fear that the officials were going to harm the young woman. Taking the phosphorus from matches said to be a common method of sui- cide in Ttaly, but this case is one of the first ever recorded in San Fran- cisco. e, ——— YOSEMITE VALLEY.

Really, you can't do better. If you spend under $50.00 for your suits, then by all means order them here. There is nothing fancy about our prices. They are a small profit over the cost of ma- terials and workmanship. Our $35.00 suits are fully equal to the $50.00 suits of other tailor shops. Our $25.00 suits are as good as the $40.00 garments of other tailors. And so on down, the proportion is the same. Why, we even make a suit to order for $10.00 that is the equal in every way to any tailor’s $15.00 suit. If you place a trial order here you see this for yourself and incidentally save $5.00 or $10.00. Out-of-town customers can secure a satisfac- lory fit through our self-measuring system.
