Dutch View of the Silver Standard
Threat.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Just what the actual result of the car
rying of the election In November by the
"silverites'' would be Is merely a matter of
surmise, but this morning 1 learned how
the danger Of silver standard Is regarded
abroad. 1 visited money changer for the
purpo7e of obtaining Dutch money in re-
turn for twenty-dolar bill. The note was
scrutinized and the clerk said with re-
gret: IT'S silver; can give you only 4s
forms for it, What would you ,-llow If it
were gold?" / asked. "4S.G5' he answered
Last summer the same man gave me gold
in exchange for United States currency
without looking to see if the bill were gold
or silver. but now because of the uncer-
tainty as to the outcome of the struggle
at home l must lose sixty cents on twenty
dollars.
then had long conversation with the
proprietor and learned that quotations and
bids are now made with our country in
gold and in silver, showing that such a
thing as a double standard Is not regard
ed as a possibility. Holland stands third
as holder of American securities. and just
as soon as Dutch tinanciers lose faith in
the soundness of our currency they will
hasten to unload their holdings; then Ger
many and England will follow, and stocks
at home will no longer be available as COL
lateral. Thus credit on which rests ninety
nine per cent Of our commercial transac-
tions. will be impaired, and money will be
tighter than ever.
1t Is fortunate that SO many Americans
are now in Europe. All who return before
election will know how to vote.

A CORNER IN SOUR THINGS
The Country is Now Suffering From Lemon
Famine.
One Baltimore Firm Has Captured
the Stock nhll Prices Are
VeryfHiSh.

A lemon famine has. developed locally as
one result Of the hot spell, and today 1t is
impossible to purchase the principal COM
ponent of lemonade without paying double
the price that prevailed a week ago. Not
only has the faminea affected Washington,
but the entire east is suffering as well. AS
might be expected, the high temperature
during the past few weeks has caused an
unusually heavy demand for lemons, and
the supply has become very materially re-
duced thereby. These facts prompted the
Seward Fruit Company, prominent firm of
Baltimore, to gather in all the available
stock possible. and the company is now con-
ceded to control the lemon supply of the
country.
An evidence of this fact has been the
presence IN Baltimore Of dealers from Phil
adelph1a, Boston, New York and this city,
VINO have made strong efforts to make deals
Tor portion of the stock. The Seward Com
pany announced however that it would not
sell box until Friday, when, it is hoped,
the lemons would bring big prices. 1t is
reported that several weeks ago lemons sold
as low as - and $3.50 box. but the same
grade of fruit is today held at not less thar
SO, and it is considered not improbable that
the price may go to $40, If the Seward Com
pany holds tightly on to their reserve. The
company Is said to have 10000 boxes of
lemons In the hold Of q steamer recently
arrived and 1000 more boxes on a Glasgow
steamer, due today.
The Corner is n Tight One.
1T is only too true that lemons have been
cornered.' said member of the local firm
that deals largest In the fruit to a Star re-
porter today. I'VE handle perhaps more
lemons than any other house in Washing
ten, and you may judge Of the condition of
things when I say that we haven't a single
lemon In the house and cannot secure a
supply anywhere at any price. We have
been constantly telegraphing to Baltimore,
New York, Philadelphia. Boston, and, in
fact, all over the country. but the other
cities seem to be badly off as we are
here. The retail price has advanced from
81 hundred to 81 within the past week and
1t looks as though 1t will go higher. The
scarcity of the fruit. the continued and ex-
treme hot weather, thereby swelling the
de mand largely, and the corner effected by
the Seward Company Is, of course, respons-
lble for the state Of the market. The prices
l referred to are for the ordinary grade of
the fruit. not the prime articles. 1t was
announced this morning that the Seward
Company would dispose of 1000 boxes to-
day and the remainder of their stock to-
morrow. member of our firm left i'm
Tediately for Baltimore, and we hope to
get in on the deal, and If successful, 1t is
certainty that the price paid will be one
OF the highest ever obtained for lemons"
