Territory have been placed in direct
rail connection with the Atlantic States

all the benefits expected, and the same
thing has happened At the north that
happened IN California upon the eom-
pletisu of its first overland railway con-
nectioB. The event Was discounted

with the inevitable result which always
follows that sort of thing. Oregon and
Washington Territory have been pass
ing through similar experience in the
past year. The markets there have

the difficulty in getting rid of these
stocks at profit and for cash has
brought trouble upon Oregon and
Washington Territory merchants.
While the humber of failures in Cali
fernia this year u IA per cent larger
than last year, in Oregon there has been
an increase of 2DS per cent and Ia
Washington Territory of PA per cent.
