TIMES LESS DULL.
Ladies Again Ordering
New Costumes.
A Decided Reaction From the July
Dreariness Reported During the
Last Few Days.

Times must certainly be looking up
when women can afford to buy handsome
and expensive dresses. and that is what
San Francisco's leading dressmakers in
formed CALL reporter yesterday they
are beginning to do.
within the past few days business has
become quite brisk" observed one of these
business women in reply to the reporters
question. "All through July affairs were
very dull, but there is fine prospect for
the autumn now. 1t will make San Fran
cisco people appreciate their own city to
have had an opportunity of comparing
Chicago prices with what they can get
things for here
Yes. indeed" she affirmed, "many peo-
pie who were going to the Worlds Fair
held back their money in order to make
purchases in Chicago. They are returning
from the East now. and many of them
have learned that the cheapest house in
San Francisco would not turn out many of
the ordinary styles for which they have
had to give awfuily high prices in Chicago.
Their trip East has been the best adver-
tlsement to San Francisco for many people
we are beginning to reap the benefit
OF this lesson already" continued the
bright business woman, "for within the
last hve days many of my customers have
come home to buy their dresses instead OF
spending the money in the East. Speak
ing for myself. l certainly find that times
are looking up very much. There is
general Inclination to spend more money"
Money has been terribly scarce" OBJ
served the head of another dressmaking
establishment. People who have always
had money TO pay for work when it was
done have actually begged me to sell their
gowns. as they saw no prospect of paying.
There is no doubt, however, that better
times are becoming apparent.
The fair is going To help us all. Sew
eral of my customers have already bought
dresses in anticipation of the fair. Is does
seem a little premature, certainly, but I
have already four costumes on hand
which owe their existence to the fact that
We are to have Midwinter Fair.
II cannot explain exactly how it is.
Right after the bank failures no one would
spend ID oney on dress, but they are begin
ming to co so again"
Things have improved very much dur
ing the last two weeks, remarked another
cOnfec;ioner OF toilets.
I'm July business was very dull, but
just at present it is rushing. Indeed we
are overcrowded this week, but that" she
added, smiling, lis because of two we'd
dings
Apart from the weddings, however, we
should be busy. for there seems to be
general feeling among our customers that
they are able Tn spend money again."

niversary of the birth of Sir Walter Scott.
the great Scottish poet and novelist. The
celebration took the form of literary en-
tcrtainment and social dance in Scottish
Hall. on Larkin street, which was filed to
tbs doors with a select audience. John
McLaren, the president of the society. oc-
cupisd the chair, and several prominent
members were seated beside him on the
platform.
The literary part of the programme was
admitted to be the best in point of merit
that has ever been submitted for the de-
lectatlon of the society's guests. twas

c!uded quartets. vocal. whistling, violin

and their efforts met with great applause
Rev. Donald NJ. Ross. chaplain of the
society, delivered ali admirable grafton on
Sir Walter Scott, in which he spoke of the
great love OF the poet and novelist for his
native land. Scott, he said. was rot only
great in literature hut in everything that
constitutes man, and IL was only fitting
tha; his fellOw-c0untrymeD, no matter in
what part of the world they might reside,
should gather together to keep alive his
memory. While in middle life he under
took TO wipe out debt of half million
dollars, which in our day would be equal
to three times as much. so that although
legally lie was not bound to do il no stain
should rest upOn his name. And he
tOiled day and night with his pen until he
had aecompli- he'd his noble and manly OBJ
ject, which the speaker thought few men
would have undertaken to do under the
same circumstances.
At the conclusion of the literary pro-
gramme the chairs were removed and
dancing was begun and kept up with yigor
for three or four hours.
The affair was altogether one of the
most enjoyable in the history of the So

interchangeable secretary. w. c. Cook. and
James A. Duncan, who composed the lit
erary committee. and A. c. BalliDgall, the

The Condition of Affairs in That

Senior Eduardo POrier, late Envoy Ex-

having just arrived from the capital of
Mexico ell route to Central America. He
was sent to Mexico year ago by Presi-

diplomatic affairs of great Importance.
Having successfully accomplished his mis-
sion. he is now returning to his native
country.
To CALL reporter Senior Poirier talke
very entertainingly concerning matters of
interest in Mexico and Central America.
Times are hard and business is dull in
Mexico" he said. The depression of
silver is affecting that country to an
alarming extent and all classes are feel
ing IL. The merchants there have stopped
buying goods from the foreign markets be-
cause the exchange of silver is so low !; the
moneyed class are keeping their cash tied
up. being afraid to invest Ii, aud several of
the large manufacories are closed down.
People spend no more money than they
can absolutely help and Of course that
makes business dull.
However, the crop of corn is large this
year and the coffee season will be good, so
the farming interests of Mexico are not
suffering. If the American Congress
properly regulates this question Of silver
Mexico will undoubtedly pick IT'D in the
business sense of the word, but if this
country decides against free coinage of

Z LEGAL COURTESY.
The Peoples Bank Receivership Be-
fore Judge Sanderson.


The order to show cause why the decree
appointing j. E. Farnum receiver of the
PEOPLES Home Savings Bank should not
stand came up before Judge Sandersoa
yesterday, but was again continued.
When the case was called up Attorney
Hoeffler stated 10 the court that his firm
CARRIER, Boalt d Bishop-was only en-
gagged to represent the bank in the case on
Monday last. and had not had time TO pre-
pare their case. He asked the court to
grant a short continuance, if only for two
days, as the matters involved were far TOO
serious to admit Of being taken up on so
short a notice.
This speech was supplemented by M. a.
Dorm. another of the banks attorneys who
II urging continuance said that no pos
~slble injury could be done by such a pro
ceeding. lie was sorry to say that he had
prottered the usual request to the attor-
news for the other side. but they had fatty
refused to grant the continuance, telling
>: him TO get it from the court, il he could"
Such want OF courtesy had annoyed him.
Meanwhile Farnum was in possession as
a sort of Deputy Bank Commissioner. and
all was well. There were 1900 depositors
and several million dollars at stake, and
!. there was no use in counsel going into the
case nnprepared and there was no fear of
anything wrong as the restraining order
wasstll in force.
Attorney A. u. Shaw, representing the
plaintiff Winterburn. opposed the applica-
ton OF counsel for the bank on the ground
that there was no need for such DELAY.
Counsel had had lots of time to prepare
their case, and if they had neglected to do
so it was their fault. and the other side
ought not to suffer. He had nothing TO
apologize for, but be desired to proceed at
once.
Attorney G. n. Fox said that he repre-
scented the bank in thathe was represent
ing the interests Of the 1900 depositors.
He certainly must oppose any continu-
ance. BE might almost say be represented
Farnum, who was in his position much
against his will. He (Farnum) actually
did not want the receivership.
Well. We'll appoint some one else then
WHO Will be more willing" said the Judge
with smile.
Pm here" said Dorm. ''But / guess
Mr.. Farnum will not find it hard to over
come his reluctance" >
On, l guess We'll have no trouble"
said Tue Judge. "as good mary bankers
are out or employment at present and
would be very willing to take the receiver
ship"
Fox fastened to explain that he had mt
meant that Farnum had refused the re-
'ceivershfp. However. distastetul to him il
mght.be. he was determined to do his dnty
at all cost IN the interest Of the San Fran
cisco public.
The attornev's protestatinns were cut
short by the Judge. who said they could
have their choice between to-day and Mon.
day. for the hearing. Finally Monday at
10 O'Clock was agreed upon.
