TRADE CONDITIONS GOOD
Review of Business Situation Re-
ported by Commercial
Agencies
By Assoclated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: December was per-
haps the best month of 1906 for the
railways with an indicated gain of II
per cent over December, 1904 Cars
are in better supply on open weather
and the passing of the holiday rush
but six months of large business is still
in sight for the railways. Building at

So far the printers strike has had
rather less than the expected effect.

ward trend of the market, business for
future delivery being done on a basis
of 1 cent pound below the markets of
this country and Europe.
Lead is quiet but firm and there is
less activity in spelter.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Dun's weekly
review of trade tomorrow will say:
Erratic weather and the customary
difficulties encountered in resumins
normal conditions after lengthy hOli-
day have restricted operations during
the past week, especially in retail and
jobbing departments. In some parts of
the country it is impossible to fill the
orders for lumber and building mate
rials, open weather making structural
work an unusual feature of the season.
Manufacturing plants are resuming,
advance orders, assuring activity for
some months, in most cases, and in
many divisions of the iron and steel
industry idleness in 1906 can only be
produced by extensive cancellations.
Railway earnings in December were
GA per cent above last years.
Conditions are without change in the
hide markets, demand remaining quiet
and packers stocks carried over were
in no case burdensome

COMMON INTERESTS OF BAY SECTION


Some Los Angeles wiseaeres who believe that
the state of the atmosphere alone is what makes
a city grow profess TO regard San Francisco, Oak
land, Berkeley, Alameda and cities and towns a
few miles north and south of here as widely sepa-
rate communitieG districts in which the pull and
the haul all for each and every locality in it
self and not for the bay community as whole
a few people who have narrow ideas and who
dwell this that side of the bay also claim to
see progress for one and backsiding for the other
All Of us are the people of the bay section, .
whose interests are one and who are each and
every one of us bent upon accomplishing one great
object-the building up of the commerce and busi-
ness of the bay of San Francisco.
There can be no Greater San Francisco without
Greater Oakland. The stretch of towns between
San Francisco and San Jose dependent upon
the prosperity OF the port of San Francisco and
the valley of the Santa Clara which has its outlet
for trade at the bay of San Francisco. The same

ENOUGH BUSINESS AT HOME.

Harold Bolce, librarian of the United States
Treasury Department, contributes an interesting
article magazine on the trade relations of the
United States with Latin America The author OF
the contribution has made exhaustive study
OF foreign trade relations and is frequently called
into consultation with Cabinet officials when mat
tiers appertanng to foreign trade are to be dis
cussed He demonstrates in his story, as he has
i'll semi-officia capacity demonstrated before,
that the United States is getting very little of the
business OF Central and South America in return
for the purchases she makes from them.
Conditions IN the various countries OF South
America continually changing. There is no
perfect poise and the American is too impatient
TO repeatedly adjust himself to ever-changng cir
cumstances. Central America makes demands
upon us for certain class Of goods packed in
certain way and refuses to abide by substitute
merchandise and American methods. The great
South American city of Buenos Ayres buys exten-
sively of France and Germany, and, although the
United States is good customer OF Argentina
overlookS almost entirely the North American
manufacturer. This is due in large measure to
the fact that Buenos Ayres apes European meth
DDS. It's women will not permit New York
dressmakers TO provide them with gowns, nor will
they accept the designs of our jewelers.. It's mer-
chants call for European goods and the salesman
from the United States moves to more fruitful
territory.
The Pacific Coast could vastly increase it's busi-
ness with Central America and the west coast
OF South America if shippers: would pack goods in
small packages for shipment over the mountains
and insure strong cases for merchandise handled IN
the open roadsteads. Some business houses: go
after this business and have succeeded well be
cause they conform to fhe demands OF the trade
However. the North American manufacturer .usu-
ally dIverts from his accustomed effort to sell the
finished article and becomes a shipper of raw ma
terial. American factories to have all the
business they can attend to, and this, perhaps, is
why they are not reaching out. to Our Latin neigh
bors
The figures as Mr.. Bolce says, look bad but
when we take into consideration the fact that we
are not actively pursuing trade in the south be-
cause cur domestic demands SO great the poor
showing of our export statistics is easily under
stood.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.
By Louise WELLER.

Poor little Pansy West of Tonopah.
cheap heroines OF the cheap literature
she delighted in. Dead with a bullet
wound in her heart and grief
stricken, repentant sweetheart mourn
ing at her side.
Pansy fairly devoured sensational
novels, the press dispatch announcing
her suicide tells u.s. She gorged and
gorged until her stupid little head was
cranmed with morbid fancies and un-
healthy ideas. A silly quarrel with a
silly sweetheart was magnified by her
distorted imagination until she was al
together miserable the Woe
begone heroine of a yellow-back novel.
And then she did it with her little pis-
tol-and died. If Pansy's unttmely
death will serve to teach a lesson. the
poor, silly little girl viii not have
lived and died in vain.
1t is not the easiest thing in the
world to destroy taste for putrid
literature. Very young people, espe-
cially young girls, seem to take to it
naturally. | do not know how to ex-
plain it unless 1t is that there is in
every young mind a desire to pierce the
veil of life's great mysteries What
youth does not understand youth pic
lures as awful and wonderful. There
is nothing that appeals to the imma-
ture mind like the awful and the won
derfuj. And there is no harder line to
draw than the one where the awful
and wonderful leave off and sensa-
tionallsm begins.
Every observant parent and guardian
every man and woman that has at all
observed growing children, knows their
inquiring turn of mind. They know
their ceaseless 'Why?" They know
that innate desire toH"see the wheels
go round" 1t is to see the wheels GO
round that they take the books, and
the faster the wheel spins the more
they enjoy it and the more excited they
get. An. excited child is like a wild
animal that after a long abstinence

in the world and its suburbs cover territory within
one hundred miles of the Golden Gate. In this
vast collection of cities and towns the people OF
the bay section pass from place to place, come and
go in constant stream of travel like the people
OF one immense city whose arteries of commerce
reach miles into the plains, as in Chicago
There cannot be any separating of the interests
of this great Bay City Five miles of water sepa-
rate San Francisco from Oakland and its neigh
boring towns, but after all Oakland is part of San
francisco and San Francisco is part of Oakland.
1t has been delight TO San Franciscans to watch
the progress OF the outlying districts of the great
bay City and to feel that all will day be more
strongly linked together with long bands of steel,
upon which may rest the largest suspension
bridges in the world Yerba Buena Island may
be the midday spot on which will rest the bridge
anchors and piers. Railroads may skirt the bay
crossing the marshes fifteen miles south Of here
and furnish rapid transit to the towns OF the pc
ninsula; to Haywards, San Leandro, Niles, Ala
peda and Oakland. The whole trend OF our COM
1nerc1al development seems to be toward an ANAL
gamation OF the bay communities into one great
community each section with its municipal
government but acting in concert for the good
OF all.
The burning down OF Chicago did not build up St
Louis, nor did the earthquake at Charleston help to
develop the ctys commercial rivals. Location has
more to do with the growth of city than boom
literature and rich surrounding country is nee
essary to maintain big metropolis. When the
little rivals of San Francisco in the far south and
the far north begin to figure how much larger they
will be than San Francisco in five or more
years they usually have to do their computing by
solating San Francisco and bombarding it with
statistics showing the growth of nearby towns at
the expense of this city. They forget that they
are playing up argument that is in San Fran

rally vicious mind. The writer of good
literature is one of Gods noblemen.
The writer of sensational trash is
libeler and a perjurer.
Unfortunately, all fiction cannot be
divided into the good and the bad.
good nor bad. And there is where the
mischief is done Good literature is
commended. Bad literature is con-
demned. But the silly. foolish, in-be-
tween stuff is let pass unnoticed. 1t is
that silly between stuff that little Pan
sy West erammed with
In the stuff that the maid from To-
nopah surfeited on life is pictured in
forms. Everything ng-appearances, pos
sessions, power. talent, emotions-is
exaggerated 1t is like looking at life
through a powerful magnifylng glass
until ones senses are dulled and ones
eyes begin to blink by the unusual
size of things. Women are radiantly
beautiful and either foolishly good or
hopeless1y bad. The men are hand
some, stalwart, and brave or handsome,
stalwart and wicked. All are inordi-
nately rich and few have any occupa-
tion in life. They all love, mostly at
cross purposes, and their loves and
hates are as unreal as their surround
ings. their perfect beauty and their
senseleSS actions. 1t is no wonder that
a constant diet of such stuff gave Pan
sy West a case of acute mental indi-
gestion with fatal results Yet that is
the best thing about the girls afiic-
tion--its fatal result. What sort of a
life could she have lived with her
warped ideas and her distorted vision? +?
After constant mental association with
these Dukes and Lords, Duchesses and
Ladies, the actualities of the mining
town must have been an awful shock
to her overstrung nervous system.
Pansy's silly little death ought to be
an awful lesson TO parents, guardians
and teachers. There is not the slight
est. doubt in my mind that Pan
sy's first misfortune was a silly mother
who never gave a thought to the book
company Pafrsy kept. She let her form
evil. associations until she was a
breathing, living example of tell me
