The Closed Auction Matter

The issue between the advocates of
open and closed fruit auctions in Chicago
is still being resolutely waged. Meet
ings are continually being held at Cali
fornia points which pronounce strongly
in favor of Colonel Woinstocks associa-
tion of growers and shippers and their
open auctions. The eastern buyers are
evidently proiiting by the war and pro-
pose to get all there is in it. It is a new
illustration of the ruin in allowing the
fruit to co npete with itself. The follow
ing sentences are quoted from a Chicago
brokers' circular tu his retailing custom
ers:
The wholesale fruit dealers of Chicago
are determined upon closed auction.
The shippers of fruit are determ ined upon
an open auction. The closed auction
opened their business this morning in
the Illinois Central sheds. The open
auction will conduct its business as
formerly in the Northwestern. Who is
right? That is to be seen; in short. we
don't care. What We are after now is to
buy fruit as cheap as we can. We only
wish the right one to win. There will
certainly be some sacrifices of California
fruit here III the next ten days. Come
and place your orders with us. We are
in to buy the goods as cheap as We can
for you and give you the best obtainable
bargains and our charges are but 10 cents
package for buying them.

Clews' Financial Review


review. says that the general investment
and speculative situation has changed
little during the week. The crops de-
velop nothing new. So far as respects
wheat. the general conclusion is that we
nay calculate upon something less than
q good average yield, though the farmer
seems likely to be con. pensated by higher
prices than those of last year; while, in
regard TO corn, the balance Of western es.
Inmates favors very large increase of
output over 1894. In the industries at
large there is no abatement of the SAN
guine expectations that have developed
within the last six months. The rise in
raw materials and the continuance of the
remarkable recovery in wages from the
decline OF 1893 and 1894. shows conclu-
sively that manufacturers are anticipat-
ing o material increase OF consumption !;
and II is to be presumed that their cx-
pectations are based upon facts existing
in the conditions of trade.
All this is satisfactory and naturally
induces a large measure Of public conf
dence. And yet there is unquestiona bly,
some withholding on account of certain
factors in the financial situation. As
matters now stand, the re Is clearly
defined misgiving as to what may bv the
state of the treasury gold reserve after
the 1st of October, when the obligations
OF the loan syndicate to the treasury will
cease. One thing admits of no doubt, that
in the absence of ability to maintain the
gold reserve and in presence OF renewed
resort to borrowing in order to secure
gold. there must be reaction from the
now prevailing etate of confidence and
prosperity. The plain fact today is that
the treasury and the banks have it in
their power to so readjust their relations
as that each will have gold enough for
ell the requirements of safety ana credit.
and 1t is inconceivable that they can
much longer delay coming back to their
old relative positions.

what Is Your; Horse Powers

An experiment which may be per-
formed by any one riding bicycle
is the determination of the horse
power of'the rider, by a simple cal
'culation after the ascent Of a hill,
says a writer In the Scientific Amer
icdn. The mechanical equivalent
of a horse power, being $4,000
pounds raised through distance of
one foot in d minute. may be directly
applied to a machine and its rider.
The only requirements besides a
man and wheel are a stop watch and
steep, smooth hill of known altitude.
The hill should be steep enough
to prevent one from ascending with
any great velocity, and thus have
the wind resistance vitiate the re-
suit. The weight in pounds of ma
chine and rider being almost always
known and the time readily taken,
the altitude Of the hill can be found
by alevel andlstaff. It will be seen
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1895-07-13

that the length Of the hill does not
matter, SO long as the incline is
steep enough to prevent fast riding
when the whole energy Of the man
is expended in propelling him up
the grade. The figures found, when
compared with the ones above, give
the horse power in a pretty accurate
