Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-04
IRKSOME HOLIDAYS

Part OF the official machinery of Los
Angeles has been at a standstll the last
two weeks as remote consequence of
the San Francisco catastrophe. In
order to safeguard banking business in
the northern city Governor Pardee has
been proclaiming a series of state holi-
days from day to day. Much incon-
venience has been caused thereby
throughout the state, and Los Angeles,
particularly, has suffered from it.
There has been no local complaint
because Of this situation. Los Angeles
is willing to go any reasonable length
in aiding San Francisco, in every way.
1t would seem, however, that the neces-
sity for the continuous holiday procla-
nations had ceased to be acute enough
to justify their continuance. San Fran
cisco has recommended its banking
business, and, Notwithstanding the diff
ficulties encountered, the banks appear
to be in condition to paddle their own
canoe"
The extent of the clogging OF public
business in Los Angeles is realized by
readers of The Herald who have missed
the official advertising in its columns
during the governors prolonged holi-
day period. 1t is to be hoped the word
''finis" will be appended to the next
proclamation OF the series.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-04
RARITY OF FOR RENT" SIGNS

The school census marshal notes the
fact, as one feature of his official ex-
perience, that there are now fewer
vacant houses in the city than ever
before in its history" This statement
is based on a comparison of present
data with those gathered in former
years.
The census marshaPs report on this
subject comedies exactly with the opin-
ions of real estate owners and agents.
and also with the observations of
watchful citizens. Usually spring dis
play of fresh rental notices appears
in the latter part of March, growing
more profuse as the days advance. This
because of the exodus of eastern winter
tourists who have been occupying
rented houses or apartments.
But now we have entered upon the
month of May, and the eastern visitors
have gone. Most of the remainder of
the contingent that fingered late lost
no. time in hieing homeward when
they learned of the earthquake at San
Francisco. And yet, as before stated.
comparatively few bills give notice of
unoccupied dwelling places. Some
weeks later such an anomaly might be
accounted for by the arrival of the
usual contingent of summer visitors
from other sections, but such arrivals
are not yet due.
1t is a fact well known to building
contractors and owners of rental prop
erty that even the immense volume of
building during the past year has not
nearly kept pace with the demand for
dwelling places. That situation is made
more obvious just now by the influx of
many homeseekers from San Francisco.
The effect of this condition neces-
sarily will be a still greater stimulus
to building and an increased demand
for vacant lots suitable for homes.

Effect on Stocks
In any event such a fire as that at
the Golden Gate means a tremendous
shift Of wealth-a displacement. Mil
lions must be withdrawn from
present investments and shifted to
others. Wall street and even
London felt the effects. which showed
them I'm n decline on the London stock
exchange as we'll as on the New York
exchange. But despite the large cur
rency drain, past experience shows that
the effect Is not likely from a financial
standpoint to be very serious.
Despite The large drain of currency
10 Chicago, the New York bank posi--
ton grew stronger. Naturally, rail-
ways converging on Chicago had to re-
port decreased earnings; the st. Paurs,
for instance. fell in October from $685.
600 of 1870 to $S41 ,000 and in November
from $791, 900 to s644, 200; yet stocks even
of these companies recovered most of
October's loss. What was most note
worthy of all was the fact that despite
the catastrophe at Chicago in October,
the ensuing year was period Of enthu-
siastlc speculation for the rise in every
thing. and of immensely increased en-
gagements of capital.
How is this to be explained? Was
the Chicago disaster really a negligible
fact in finance, except for a single week
of stock exchange disturbance? This
would be rather sweeping conclusion;
but, on the other hand, the episode of
the seventies leaves no doubt that the
influence of such an event may be
much overestimated. Prodigious waste
of capital did occur in 1871 as 1t has
occurred this month, and it had to be
replaced. Yet, after all, the loss at
Chicago was but a fraction of the capi-
tai flung away unproductively in the
Franco-Prussian war, and the San
Francisco loss bears a similarly small
proportion to the billion dollars or
sunk in the fight between
Russia and Japan. All that this proves
is that capital is more elastic than is
thought and that 1t can bear
pretty heavy strains so long as credit
stands.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-04
UNIQUE BANKING HOUSE

A May day Incident IN New York
gives an idea Of the pace that has
been reached IN the mad chase after
wealth. A bank was opened there on
that day which proba bly, has no parallel
anywhere. 1t will be In operation CON-
tinuously twenty-four hours every bust
ness day. Three days will be crowded
into one. in the method Of operation,
the employees oil working in shifts Of
eight hours There will be no EXPENSE
for cards bearing the legend "bank
closed" or Indicating the business
hours.
This unique bank probably will prove
to be a profitable venture and there IS
hardly doubt that 1t will be public
convenience. New York. like other
large cities. has no period of rest. The
majority Of It's inhabitants sleep at
night, of course. but at every hour
of the night there are enough of the
people astir to equal the population Of
a moderately large city.
But note the lesson taught by this
banking innovation in New York. The
twenty-four hour bank is an outgrowth
of the spirit Of money getting that has
come to dominate everything else in
American city life. We have no time
for rest in the ceaseless chase Of the
almighty dollar. When we take our
meals thoughts of business occupy The
mind and even in church we think
more Of earthly than of heavenly things.
Sleep often is nightmare Of business
care and we go from bed to work al
most at bound.
But we all will have good rest
sometime. We shall be a long while
dead.
