THIRD AND MARKET STREETS, SAN FRANCISCO NOVEMBER 21, 1904 MONDAY A REMARKABLE TRADE FALL. AST week was a noteworthy one and in some respects the best L week ce the current recovery in business commenced, sev- eral weeks ago. From all quarters came reports of expanding trade, wholesale, retail and jobbing, though the great storm in the East interfered with the movement of goods and otherwise impeded trade by prostrating the telegraph wires in all directions. Had it not been for this storm the week would have been a record breaker | in many lines. he striking feature was the remarkable exhibit of the bank Of the fifteen most important cities every onc except New wed an increase over the same week last year, and out forty cities and towns in the list only two—New Orleans .ake City —showed a loss. The gain for the whole coun- 53.5 per cent. This percentage of gains is a record breaker. the gains were extremely large. New York, for instance, increased 79.8 per cent, Pittsburg 35.8 per cent, St. Louis 29.3 rer cent, and so on. The gain at San Francisco was 15.5 per cent. The aggregate clearings were enormous and perhaps the largest ever known, running up to $3,242,000,000. If these clearings are a true index to the condition of trade, then the expansion in general busi- | ness last week was surprising. It was the more gratifying, inasmuch | as ere was no line particularly favored, the improvement being general throughout the whole list of produce and merchandise. Nor was the improvement confined to domestic commerce. The ! n and is now making a much foreign trade also showed an expans better ‘exhibit than for some time. 000, beating every month on record except Oetober, 1900, h ran about $800,000 over these figures—a mere bagatelle.

RINCE SADANARU FUSHIMI, adopted brother of the Mi- 1o and bearer of imperizl felicitations from that potentate to President Roosevelt, has been received with all official honors Washington and given the Executive’s assurance of America’s and deep seated interest in the island empire. That much he strict lines of diplomatic courtesy and but answers the requirements of the situation. Diplomats both here and abroad are asking themselves what is behind this visit of the Japanese Prince iifest. alor which may or may not become When Prince Fushimi arrived here in San Francisco he admitted that he was the bearer of private messages from the Mikado to the head of the nation.

Should it become known that the Mikado’s message was one of direct invitation to Roosevelt to use his good offices in ending the conflict in the F ast no great surprise would result. Tt is known that Japan has alrcady approached Great Britain unofficially in the matter of intervention; the recent speech of Lord Lansdowne inti- mated that upon England and the United States rested the respon- sibility of ng the initial step. President Roosevelt has declared his determination to have no part in the.affair until representations looking in the direction of intervention were made to him -by both belligerents. Though the pride of Russia weighs heavily in the balance, it must be believed that a direct appeal in this behalf on the part of Japan to the President uld have its effect in the councils of the Czar and open the way for similar action on Russia’s part. By its consistent attitude of strict neutrality this country has disproved the early suspicions of partiality and demonstrated its fitness to serve jusly as possible arbiter 4 ¥ ROOSEVELT ON IRRIGATION. characterize all efforts at the development of the arid West. Perma- nency and the unity of all interests in the fulfillment of the destinies promised by the country’s highest resources must mark every ef- fort at reclamation and improvement. “The period of exclusiveness is past,” says President Roosevelt in his message. “The stock interests are no longer independent of the mining interests, nor either of them independent of the irrigator. A closer interweaving than ever before is at hand among all the great interests of the whole country. One cannot prosper without the other.” No truer word has been spoken upon the outlook for the future prosperity of Yhe great West. In advocating this broad general ground of co-operation between the varied interests that draw their support from the ground in the final instance the President has ex- pressed the far-seeing policy of conservation. The West is no longer new. The pioneers, the first comers, opportunists all of them, have done their work of “skimming the cream” off the natural resources and their day is done. It is not for us to sap the wealth of the rich country without reparation any longer, but to build well the groundwork for future yield of increase i) .

AINWRIGHT, with a IS8 W. in her wide troubled look gray eyes, came slowly down the lawn and stepping into the rowboat, pushed off. She wanted to be alone—to think. This afternoon, as she had swung lazily in her hammock, ross the water had come a bark from some dog —a bark strangely resembling that of the lost Teddyboy and Miss Wain- wright had been conscious of a vague disquietude. ac It was two months now since th‘-‘ sad day when Teddyboy had disap- peared—Teddyboy, with his silky coat, | tiny paws and adoring brown eyes. The shrill little bark had evoked that dear memory and mingled with the thoughts of Teddyboy had stolen in persistent thoughts of his | donor, Teddy Mathewson. She had not seen him since their quarrel, six months ago—a quarrel or- iginating over the question as to whether Teddyboy's blessed ears should be droopy and soft or snappy and short. But a very pretty differ- ence can arise from a very small cause. It was fortunate that they had dis- covered their lack of congeniality in time, mused the girl. As Miss Wainwright neared the vachts that rested in the harbor like great white birds, again the bark rang out and the girl started. Could it be | possible? Pulling in closer, she glanced around, the bark changed to a crescendo of joy. There at the head of the companionway on the first yacht stood Teddyboy him- self, his small body alive with wrig- gles of excitement, afraid to descend, beseeching that she come to him. Her own Teddyboy! Without stopping to think, Miss Wainwright hastily flung the painter around a stanchion, then In a second the | sped up the steps. little dog was upon her and the girl, between laughter and = tears, had caught him close. With Teddyboy in her arms, Miss Wainwright hesitated. Should she | simply take the dog and go? To be sure, it was her dog, but hardly, seemed a square thing to do. | And then suddenly she turned white. Down the deck toward her walked Teddy Mathewson. first to speak. “May I ask to what I am indebted for the honor of this visit?.” he asked conventionally. Miss Walnwright, all clutched Teddyboy closer. “I—I[ did not know that you were I thought you still in Europe,” mmered. I came for Ted- gathering courage as she pro- “I saw him on the deck. He was stolen from me some weeks ago.” The man's face gleared a trifle.

Miss Wainwright turned awa “Give me my dog and let me go! she cried sharply.

Mathewson “The current there is very strong,’ commented. “Probably d was insufficient.” he Miss Wainwright's eyes blazed. Kindly have me sgnt ashore at once,” she cried. The man shook his head “I am very sorry,” he remarked cheerfully, “but the beat is already ashore. It went in some time ago to bring out people for tea. Mrs. Mar- shall wished to see the yacht.
