ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
Insurance Situation More Hopeful
Business Improving.

San Francisco. July 6.--The insurance situa-
tion Is much more hopeful than it was last week.
Two local companies, the Firenen's Fund and
the Pacific Underwriters, have adjusted their
losses and are paying all claims In full A score
OF other big companies American and foreign
are dealing with their patrons I'm the same lib
eral way, but thFee-Quarters OF all the companies
are endeavoring TO settle oa a basis Of 70 per
cent, while many have reduced small claims
one-third OF their face value. Many small pol
icyholders need money so badly that they have
accepted these terms. but large holders have
refused. and threaten to bring suit. The asser-
tion that the earthquake vitated policies is con-
sidered absurd in most cases, as photographs
were taken showing small damage from the shock
Several companies have presented photographs
Of buildings after the fire. and asserted they
were pictures taken just after the earthquake.
Delay in settling claims has retarded the rs-
building OF the business district. With enough
money, greater energy would have been shown
in clearing streets and building sites, and foun-
dations would already have been laid for many
new structures. AS it is all work of reconstruct
tion is still temporary the only permanent work
being freproof buildings that were merely
damaged by fire. Some twenty OF these buildings
will be ready for occupancy in three months. and
will do much to restore normal business along
Kearney, Montgomery and Market streets The
banks are now all in their old quarters, but
aside from this there is little business below
Kearney street
The centre of the wholesale district for many
months is sure to be along Sth and 9th streets
between Market and Folsom The Southern Pa
cihc Company has spur tracks, and the Ocean
Shore Electric Railroad will have it's terminal
here. Another large wholesale district will be
along Townsend street, facing the Southern Pa
eife tracks. from Sd street to 7th street. The
extraordinary business recuperation OF the city
which has amazed every visitor IS best shown by

4 CITY SUMMER RESORT.
Where Those Who Find This Season
Best Time to Come Here Can Stag.

Few New Workers think of the city Of their home
as a summer resort. but it is such to far greater
extent than many places whose sole reason for
being is the accommodations that they afford for
throng of summer visitors. The number OF stran-
gers in tho metropolis any night in the three
months devoted largely to vacation pleasures is
surprisingly large, and year by year steadily In
creases This is due not only 90 the increase OF
population and the increase OF wealth but TO the
increased knowledge OF the splendid facilities af-
forded in this city for caring for visitors and max
Ing them comfortable in proximity to the great
shops. the summer amusements and the ocean
beaches. OF all the great structures which recent
years have rise at various points OF vantage in

clearings were about s25Oo0,0o0. a decrease Of
80 per cent from those Of the corresponding week
last year. On June ia the clearings were trihe

On June % clearings were S33,333,000. de-

June % clearings showed decrease Of only 81
per cent from those of the same date year ago.
Similar returns are shown in the jobbing trade
which records only 10 per cent shrinkage from
the best figures for June Of last year. Another
remarkable fact Is that the business Of the inter-
nal revenue Office was 10 per cent heavier than
for June OF last year. although all cigar and to-
bacco factories were destroyed and the retail
liquor business was suspended

be no falling of in other sources of revenue. the
city will have a surplus at the end OF the fiscal
