NEW YoRK-The week has shown
few changes in the general situation in
dry goods. Print cloths, from being in
n very firm position, have come to be re-
garded as easier by buyers There was
no actual decline In quotations until yes
tcrday. when a limited number OF ex-
ira sIXty-four squares were sold at
l-l6c less than X per cent. Sales were
lighter than these oflast week. but 1t Is
reported that a slight reduction IN the
stock has been effected. Nevertheless
the progress made In the market Is not
reckoncd as on a liberal basis, since
there have been few contributions to
the contract list for early delivery.
Other cotton goods have shown gcncr-
ally poor results through the week.
The dullness In the wooden and worsted
market has not been dlspelled during
the week.

e,cc,a, Correspondents of TntefiiEsncer.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE past
week has developed a more buoyant
ceiling in wall street circles. The mo-
new situation, which had encouraged the
recent selling OF stocks. Is becoming
better understood, and the expectation
NJ stringency has virtually disappeared.
This obstacle being removed, there was
nothing to prevent q general reaction
towards better conditions, The bears"
had succeeded in breaking prices to a
level OF comparative cheapness; the
market was freely over-soId; and there
were substantial operators ready to
take in important lines Of stocks when
they were satisfied that the bottom OF
values had been touched. The general
drIft of events during the week has
tended TO warn the bears" to cover
and the bulls TO buy. Sterling ex-
change has fallen to the gold importing
Doint, and some considerable engage
Tnents have already been made for
shipping the metal to this port. There
has also been some easing In the rates
for money, consequent upon offerings
from out-of-town sources, and 1t has
been accepted as good symptom that
the new bonds are being taken up more
rapidiv. on Thursday, the treasury
placed 5000. 900 OF cash on deposit with
city hanks, against security OF bond al
lotnents. Also, the monthly official
statement Of foreign trade showed that
our excess OF exports over imports con-
tInues with but little abatement from
the extraordinary proportions Of several
months past. This succession OF encour-
aging events has changed the tone OF
business al the stock exchange and en-
couraqing buying, and at the moment
the Indications point to a prolonged
continuation OF activity.

This has immensely swelled the bank
loans; but It must be remembered, as an
offset against that factor, that the
banks are free to call upon their inter-
Tor correspondents at any moment for
the liuuIdation Of these advances The
now outstanding advances on this ac-
count are understood 20 present a very
large aggregate; but the larger Il is the
larger their ability to accommodate To-
cal wants Or calling in these outside
loans: and this factor gives an ample
security against the present situation
running into anything like a trouble
some stringency. These facts really
constitute a strong situation for the
local banks: for II their reserves are
comparatively low, they have the means
OF amply replenlshing chem promptly IN
the event OF need. 1t may suit the con-
venIence OF the interior banks 20 EN-
ploy at q higher rate Of interest the
funds they have thus procured at the
lower metropolitan rates; but they are
amply able to liQuldate the advances on
demand, as the amount OF money IN
that class OF banks Is not very unusual-
~ large; and for that reason also the
demand for money for crop movements
IS likely TO be exceptionally Hight TINS
year. It Is also 20 be kept in mind that
the disbursements Of the treasury must
continue RbEormalIy large for some
time to COME, by which the money
drawn Into the treasury will be Gradu-
ally returned to public circulation or to
the banks. Another point rfavoTing an
early return to comparative case In mo-
ncy is the resumption of Imports OF
cold The anna rer1enfg nf Tint nature
already amount to about S5.0OO,0OO; and
as the August exports of merchandise
exceeded the imports by $4,000, 900, It Is
plain that the trade balance is likely to
keep foreign exchange close upon the
gold-lmporting point for some time to
come. Under these conditions, there IS
nothing in the present condition OF the
bank reserves TO make even nervous
borrowers uneasy. We are plainly on
the way towards long period OF com
Portable ease In money.

The money market has VefBeo upon q
somewhat critical condition, which had
not been generally anticipated. At the
beginning OF July. the Associated banks
held about $3.50, 900 Of specie and le-
gal tenders, and the surplus reserve
stood at S6l, 500 900. This extraordinary
accumulation OF lawful money was re-
rarded as placing the banks In an unu-
suaTIy strong position for meeting the
autumn demand for interior crop move
ments. and the expectation OF an unu-
sual plethora of loanable funds until
the end OF the gear was quite general.
The local stock OF money had never
been edualled but once, namely, in Feb
ruary, 1884, when we were In the midst
OF the great reaction from the liquldat-
ing process consequent upon the panic
OF 1899, Under such conditions, few an
tIcipated that by the middle OF Septem-
Der the New York banks would have
their attention attracted 70 the condl-
ton OF their reserves: and yet such is
the fact Their stock OF lawful money
has fallen from $50 millions on July 2,
10 1870 millions on September 8, and their
surplus reserves from slxty-one and
one-halk millions TO sevenmlllions. This
decrease Is In only a small degree due
10 the usual fall shipments of money to
the interior; for this year they have 30
far been almost nominal. amounting, up
to last week, to not more than three or
four millions. The explanation OF the
position IS to be found almost entirely
in our war finances, and more especially
in the payments on account OF the S2O0,-
100000 loan. The payments already
made to the treasury on this operation,
amount to about t1eo,OOO,Oo0, and consid-
erably more than half that sum has
been temporarily advanced by our local
banks TO institutions In the Interior for

District Attorney Daley Distinguishes
Himself as a Capturer

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. S-There was
| a lively time at the Cotton depot Monday
evening, when District Attorney f. b.
| Daley and Constable E. M. Murphy of On
tario transferred five hobo prisoners from
| the main line to the motor train Just as
| they were entering the car two of the
prisoners made a break for liberty, one
of whom was caught by Mr.. Daley, but
the other, sent up for $50 days. escaped.
The balance of the party was landed in
Jail in safety. The cause of the roundup
| was that two hobos went to the store of
Irwin Phillips in Ontario Saturday even
| ing. each buying pair of socks They re-
turned later and lifted about SIS or 500
| worth of goods They were seen however,
| arrested. and placed in the Ontario Jail,
| in which were several other hobos. Late
| in the evening a man came to the gate
and arranged a plan for an escape for the
| prisoners. but was overheard by Consta-
| BILE Murphy, who was on watch. In the
middle of the night the same man. who
gave the name of Frank Gregory, passed
| in mattock to the prisoners, but the con-
stable seized and passed him in. District
Attorney f. b. Daley was notified, and
attended the examination Monday, bind
| ing Gregory over to the superior court
and giving the shopifters, who gave the
| names of Henry II. Meyers and John T..
Murray, $50 days each. Two of the other
hobos, one of whom was among the recent
escapes from the rock pile force. got for
ty-five days each. Constable Murphy and
District Attorney Daley brought in the
five, with the exception of Murray, who
escaped.
The school house of North San Bernar-
dino was entered Sunday afternoon, pre-
sumably by hobos, by breaking in panel
of the front door, and the entire building
ransacked The windows were all thrown
open. evidently to procure more light, and
the books scattered over the floor. The
desk of the teacher was forced open and
the library room broken into, but the libra
ry doors being locked, the contents were
not disturbed. the despoilers evidently
giving up at this point, or were frightened
away by something, without completing
their work. 1t is impossible to tell as yet

The Citizens, Movement

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
The following paragraph is from an edito-
rial in the Pasadena News anent the cit
liens movement for selection of city OFF,
GERS:
From what we can learn Of the govern
ment OF the city in the past years. we
think that citizens were highly justified
In calling mass meetings and runnings inde-
pendent municipal parties to correct GER
tain evils promulgated by clique who
arrogated to themselves the control OF
city affairs regardless of the sentiment oi
the people. The people were rightfully
aroused But in that arousing they taught
the Republican party a lesson which 1t Is
not soon to forget. II 1t does forget 1t an6
u another clique undertakes to manipulat t.
the party machinery against the latent de.
sire of the citizens. then 1t will be time
for the people to rise up again and teach
them another lesson about vox populi."
And then he goes on to denounce an6
disapprove in the most emphatic manner
the citizens movement and those con.
nected Herewith.
There are some interesting things about
this editorial utterance OF which I shouli
like TO say few words. In the firts place
1t will be noticed, 1t Is clearly admitted
that the people and the voice of the people

Again u is admitted that there was in
the past political clique who arrogated
to themselves the control of city affairs

San Bernardino Politics

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. S-The po-
litical pot is warming and the Tax league
committee has initiated the grounding
and come out of it's hole. Luckily, 1t was
a dark day, and as 1t cast no shadow it
will probably stay out until it ceases to be
of use. Il. J. Gilbert is the moving power
and made u canvass of the state before the
last meeting Of the legislature on behalf
of lower salaries to county officers, which
resulted In a general raise all along the
line. This time he proposes to make every
candidate state what he will do for the
people before he is nominated and thus
place him on record. The people must also
pledge themselves not to ask for any IA
vors at his hands after the one chance to
instruct him as to their wishes. The league
will be called together next week and Or
ganize for the campaign, and find out
what Is wanted before the primaries are
held.
