There is much difference in opin-
ion about the fruit crop. Some per-
sons contend that there will be no
fruit, while others claim that al
thoagh injured to some extent there
will be an abundance. These differ
ences no doubt reflect the condition
in different neighborhoods. In
some localities the fruit has been
practically killed, while in others ii
is not injured to so great an extent
We are hopeful that there will be
enough for home consumption.

The scarcity of money here now
is the most serious drawback to
business activity. In large num-
Der of instances people are prevent
ed from building because it seems
utterly impossible to borrow money,
even on guilt.edge security. One
reason of this is that rapid rise in
real estate values within the past
two years and the splendid prospect
of a steady continuance of this up
ward tendency has led people with
money to invest instead of loaning
their money. The people who have
money to loan now have splendid
opportunities for placing it to good
advantage.
