G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade to-morrow will-say: Warmer weather is needed to restors normal conditions, both in trade circles | and on farms. The season opened bright with promése, dealers preparing for a heavy spring business, but abnormally low temperature and excessive moisture retarded consumption, amd burdensome stocks must be carried over unless ac- cumulations are reduced by clearance sales at bargain prices. A few weeks of hot weather would greatly improve the | situation, however, particularly as to the »ngrlcultun.l outiook, which would be re- | flected In other industries very promptly. Such reports as are available for the full month of May indicate much better re- | sults than last year, particularly statis- | tics of failures and bank exchanges, while | incomplete returns of ‘railway -earnings | | show an average gain of 7.7 per cent. | | Foreign commerce at this port for the | last week was also favorable, exports ex- | ceeding those of 1904 by $4,837,389, while | imports showed a small gain of $481,854. Trading in packer hides still is confined | | to small purchases of late April and May salting for immediate requirements. ‘ Failures this week in the United States ‘ are 198, against 211 last week and 220 last year. Fallures in Canada number 29, ! against 19 last week and 20 last year. Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: Trade | reports, crop conditions and to a lesser | degree collections displayed an improved |uppea.rnnce. the result of rather better weather conditions. Clearing skies and more seasonable weather have made for | better retail trade, improved reorder busi- ness with - jobbers in seasonable goods and, last but not least, have cleared (hel | crop situation @hd allowed some measure of ascertainment of the damage déne b¥ excessive rains, high water or low tem- peratures on widely separated areas. | Building s active the country over, and | except at Chicago labor troubles are not | seriously hampering. Collections show | little change except in the direction of | | improvement in cert&in Western centers. | Money is still easy. Manufgcturers are buying quite liber- | ally of l?lgh -priced wools, the latter arti- | cle being at the highest price in years. Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 1 number 154, against 174 last week and 144 last year. In Canada failures for the week number 17, as against 15 last week and 20 in this week a year ago. Wheat (including flour) exports for the week ending June 1 are 1,309,223 bushels, against 1,221,208 last week and 1,837,233 this | week a year ago.

We prepared our talks from high ideals. We have nothing lo retracl. We have said nothing reflecting vpon or discrediling thc beers of other localities. We have spoKen for ourselves and for ovr product only. We felt that the public would soon recognize the standard of our appeal and respond lo our cifort lo convince cvery onc that the Beer of San Francisco is the besl Beer brewed. Since slarling this advertising our compelilive brewers of the Northwesl have become involved in a labor dispule with their employes. In view of these conditions we feel thal a conlinuation of our advertising at this lim¢ might bec misconsirucd and reflect upon oursclves and the molives bacKing our original inlenlions. We therciorc beg lo announce thal for the present we shall disconlinve our publicity, and as soon as the troubles referred to are adjusled we shall resume: our talks to the people of San Francisco. In adopling this course we trusl the public will appreciale our posilion and fuvlly vnderstand the sentiment which prompls this conclusion. We wanl lo fight fairly. - We wanl to have il known thal we arc actuated by the hxshést motives. We do not desirc to- take advantage of the position of our compctitors. We want: the confidence of the public of San Francisco. Wec welcome the right Kind of competition and comparison, but we do net wish our. ciforfs for the good of ovr induslry—our citizens—our - cily and ourselves—to be stifled: by an ambiguovs pesition.
