DRIED ERI1IT TARIEE

San Francisco, Cal, Sept 17-For the
first time in the history of the Southern
Pacific, that company has decided to put
INTO effect tariff on dried fruit between
California and European points. in the
hope of increasing fruit shipments from
here to Europe. The tariff schedule was
issued yesterday and forwarded to all
shippers of dried fruit throughout the
state. The schedule relates to all ship
ments from this city. Oakland. San Jose.
Stockton, Sacramento, Marysville and
Los Angeles. via New Orleans and New
York, to London, Liverpool Glasgow,
Havre Hamburg, Bremen, Antwerp, Am
Sterdam, Copenhagen and Stockholm.
These new rates are the outcome of adj
vice given the company by people inter
ested in fruit shipment from California
to Europe. These people believe there
is greater field in Europe for dried fruit
than for fresh. though they anticipate the
demand for the latter is constantly on
the increase.

MODERATE IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES
nous Business Will BE Hold Back
Till After Election-Cotton
Mills Resuming Work.

New York, Sept. 49, Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
The moderate improvement in trade the
past few weeks continues and is cmpha-
sized by further speculative purchases OF
wool, renewed buying by wool manuiac'
turers, the reductions of surplus stocks
of cotton goods, increased demand for
seasOnable fabrics, continued confidence
among members of ir)n and steel works,
that there will be an early revival in de
mand and shipment and request for sta
pie goods in the South Atlantic and Gulf
states. The volume Of sales of general
merchandise shows Il small gain over last
week. and the feeling among wholesale
merchants is one Of more confidence III Il
comparatively large improvement. Tn
eXpcctedly large sales Of dry goods are
reported from Boston, ST. Louis aud Chi
cago, with indications that it may con-
tinue throughout the month.
At tue most important western Centcrs
large sales of hardware and drugs arc re-
ported. Much of the gain at the south
is due to the rapidty with which the cot
ton crop is being gathered and marketed.
At San Francisco general business is
more active, particularly exports of bar
ley. Trade has been stimulated at lead
ing Washington ccntcrS and in states
where rains have damaged the grain
