First Half of 1906 Business
Beats Previous Records.

SCARCITY OF LABOR

New York, July 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says;
Comparisons of the volume of cur
rent business with results at the cor
responding date in previous years are
so uniformly favorable that the out
look can only be regarded with con-
fidence. Semiannual statements are
now sufficiently complete to make 1t
certain that the first half of 1906 was
the most prosperous six months Pc
Rod in the nations history, and I'M
less heavy cancellations occur the last
half of the year will establish a still
higher record. Complaints OF made
Quate labor supply are universal.
Building operations are extensive, and
would be much greater il the cost OF
labor and material had not caused the
abandonment of many plans. Railway
earnings in July thus far surpass cor
responding reports of last year by 8.5
per cent, and foreign commerce at
this port only for the last week shows
gains of $2,110,472 in exports and
$1,580,510 in imports.

Wishes Courts to Intervene.

suit to quiet title brought in the
superior court yesterday by Mathilda
Crumlich against George Cluff and w. E.
Williams reveals an interesting situation
which may have many duplicates in the
city at present.
A few days before the fire, Mathilda
Crumhch closed deal with George Cluff,
an attorney, and W.. E. Williams, real
estate man, for the purchase of big
apartment house containing stores, at
926-940 Fillmore street. The place is
now in the center Of the new business
district and of greatly enhanced value.
On April IL, the day before the earth
quake, according to the complaint, Mrs.
Crumlich turned over $4,000 to the Title
Insurance and Guarantee Company; and
at the same time Cluff and Williams
turned over to the same company deed
to the property. On the 18th the deed
was burned before being recorded.
After the fire, the complaint alleges,
Cluff and Williams refused to turn over
the property to Mrs. Crumlich, and
sought to sell it at greatly increased
price. Mrs. Crumhch, under the advice
of her attorneys, Peck 8 Boynton, gained
entrance to the premises and secured a
strategic position. She is now living
there, practically prisoner, being afraid
to leave for a moment and lose the legal
advantage given by possession.
The case is one that is interesting law
yers. The general opinion seems to be
that the delivery Of the deed caused the
ownership to pass, and that failure to
record cannot affect the validity Of the
sale.

NOT YET READY TO
ISSUE A CALL FOR
SPECIAL SESSION

OAKLAND, May 9.-Governor Par
dee made statement to the public last
night concerning the situation regarding
the calling Of an extraordinary session Of
the State Legislature The Governor said:
"Since the destruction Of the greater
part Of San Francisco by the fire that
followed the earthquake on April Is, it
is becoming more and more apparent that
that city, as well as San Jose, Santa Rosa
and other towns and cities, need changes
in their charters and, in all probability
in the constitution and laws Of the State
to enable them to properly and quickly
rehabilitate themselves. Changes In the
State constitution and laws, Of course re-
quire an extraordinary session Of tho
Legislature to bring them quickly about
But in order that an extraordinary
session Of the Legislature may accomplish
anything it is necessary that the matters
to be considered by 1t shall be specified
in the Governors g call convening the Leg
islature. Anything In the way Of lsgis-
lation that Is not specified in the Cover
nor 3 call cannot be considered by the
Legislature in extraordinary session. Up
to date nobody seems to know exactly
what measures, legislative or constitu-
tional, are necessary for the consideration
Of an extraordinary session Of the Legis-
lature.
"While many people have been and
still are very anxious to have the Legis-
lature. Immediately convene, nobody has
yet been able to state concrstely just
what the Legislature should be called up
on to do when convened, and therefore,
the material for the Governors call for
the extraordinary session has not been,
and Is not now, available.
Mayor 6chmitz has, however, sp-
pointed committee on extra session Of
the Legislature. This committee u COM
posed Of learned and conservative law
yers and citizens Of San Francisco, all
aware Of her present needs. With them
win be associated representatives Of 6an-
ta Rosa and San Jose. This committee
began Its sessions on Monday last, and is
meeting daily. When Il completes it's
labors we will know just what changes In
municipal and State laws are needed to
enable US to retrieve the past Then
the Governors call for the extraordinary
session can be issued, the Legislature can
meet and quickly and certainly perform
its share Of the work before us.

PRICES
YET ADVANCING

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE stock
market made a further demonstra-
ton of it's recuperative ability today
In the further striking advances ef-
fected In prices Of large number or
important stocks. The cunrrent be-
lief in the financial district continues
to be that the operations which cause
these advances are largely in the
hands Of professionals or habitual
spectators, formed into market COM
binations made up Of men of great
wealth.
Boardroom traders express their
distrust Of the movement at times and
tested it's force by opposing short
sales and by attempts to offer prices
down. These efforts to turn the mar
ket were uniformly unsuccessful, and
the traders were forced to shift their
position to buy back the stocks, thus
helping on the advance. Their dis
trust of the rise was based upon the
extent 1t has reached They professed
their skepticism Of the capacity OF
the market to afford profits at the
higher level Of prices on the specula-
tive accommodations which have been
made owing to the light general de-
mand for stocks which has shown
itself thus far.
The action Of the market, however.
indicates a digestion OF profits going
on from time to time In the course
o. the advance. Thus the stocks which
are strong one da are either reaction
ary or held stationary during the next
day under the influence of the steady
selling. while advances at new points
have steady sustaining influence.
The broad underlying basis for the
movement is the effective decline in
interest rates. This was further evi-
denced today In the rates for call and
time loans The banks have gained
apparently several million dollars on
the express movement this week with
the interior. Foreign exchange rates
also eased off today, and it was re-
ported that remittances to New York
were being made on account Of Brit
ish fire insurance companies. It Is as
serted by the speculative party In
Wall street that practically the whole
volume Of hre losses by the British
companies yet remains to be remitted
and 1t Is expected that these gums
will remain on deposit in New York
for some time before being ultimately
distributed to the San Francisco
claimants.
Attention was given to reports Of
the probable fixing Of an early date for
the resumption Of business by the
San Francisco banks, as the flow of
currency from New York is expected
to follow soon when the resumption
occurs and the demands on deposits
are defined.
