SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
NEW YORK, April 15.-The Herald
says: This country's prosperity has
brought about a shortage OF money,
Paradoxical as this statement seems, it
is nevertheless true, and the great real
estate boom spreading over the entire
West and through most of the large
cities of the East is responsible for it.
Wall-street bankers hunting for the
reason why SO little money came into
the big money centers here have dis
covered that the people are putting
their dollars in farms, lots, houses,
hotels, apartments and skyscrapers and
that in consequence one of the greatest
general booms the nation has ever seen
is on. There have been booms before,
many of them, but they were confined
to separate sections. This boom seems
general.
New York City sends forth glowing
reports of big deals, big buildings, big
transportation problems solved and big
returns on investments. Pittsburg sends
stories of money made in speculation
that sound like the days of 40 in Cali
fornia. Baltimore. emerging from it's
ashes; Portland, Seattle, San Francisco
and Butte follow suit, and ST. Louis
tells of great deals in the building line
Throughout the farm lands of the
West there is speculation approximate
ing a craze. The third-rail trolley con-
Decting small cities, the extension of
Northern business men into the South.
the rush of immigrants for homes
everywhere have made every one with
money anxious to buy real estate and
sell it at a profit, and they are doing
it, as the long list of reports from cities
throughout the Union indicates.

captain Blaine did not leave them on
The dock here. instead Of casting them

first seen by incoming steamers and

IN The stories gave rise TO all sorts
OF speculation. Some thought they be-
lOnged TO some Of the vessels bound to
the salmon canneries in Alaska. and
that possibly the boats had been low
cred overheard by some of the fisher
men at night. who had changed their
minds about trip 10 the north and
wanted 10 return to town. What had
become Of the. men was matter Of
conjecture At any rate the subject
save rise- TO no end Of discussion. and
il was not until late yesterday after
noon that news came from the pilots
Of the Oracle : which set at rest the
mystery The Oracle 5 was cruising
of shore and near the Pennsylvania
when she saw the two boats chucked
overheard. into the. sea She at once
bore down on them. and found that
they were old yawls, which had long
since outlived their usefulness. This
was the reason OF their being handed
10 the care OF old Neptune. who un-
doubtedlv has now taken them TO his
care in his caves in the depths of the

est in connection with the exploitation Of
the Californian deposits. Some years
ago ]. F. Campana. the director of the
Chilean inter industries. estimated that
the whole supply of Chilean nitrates
would be exhausted in less than fifty
three years. The invention of smokeless
powder and the extension of the uses or
nitrates in the arts and sciences has in
creased the demand rapidly in the last
few years. The growing need for nitrates
is illustrated by official figures of exports
of inter from Chile.
The Statesman's Year Book for 1906
reports that the nitrate fields of Chile
are estimated to cover S9,177 hectares
and to contain 2,316,00o,oo0 tons of the
nitrate of commerce. The total product
in 1903 was 1.e14, 400 tons The num-
Der of persons employed in extracting
