NATIONS TRADE
STILL BOOMING
Railway Earnings Show
Very High Record
for June.
Money Easier, but Col
lections Tend to
Lag.

NEW YORK. June 22.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review OF trade
will say tomorrow: Relief from
drouth in many important farming sec
tions restored prospects OF bountiful
harvests, and the business of the nation
has maintained a volume that Is ex-
ceptionally heavy for the season. Win
ter wheat harvesting has begun, the
usual complaint regarding the scarcity
of labor being frequently heard. Rail-
road earnings thus far avaiiale for
June show gain of 1880 per cent over
merce at this port for the last week
exceeds the volume in 1905 by $751;
go as to imports and $2,515,452 in the
exports.
Improvement is noted In the demand
for hides, especially packer varieties,
OF which very large sales are recorded
Failures this week numbered 1s5 in
the United States against 1875 last year
and 20 in Canada against 20 a year ago.
Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
Wholesale trade Is quieter In conso-
nance with the advanced stage of the
season and retail business, except in
the Southwest, reflects lower temper
in great consuming sections. The rail-
ways are doing an unprecedented busi-
ness for this season Of the year and the
volume of freight moving Is very
heavy. gross earnings for the first half
OF June exceeding year ago by IL per
cent
Money is easier. but collections tend
to slow up. Lumber of low grade shows
weakness. but building activity is
still marked despite the enormous
volume done in the first six months OF
the year.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending June 21 number
III against 1TS last week and 10 in
the like week of 1905. In Canada fail
ures for the week number %, as
against 20 last week and 20 In this
week a year ago.

the United States and Canada for the

AUDITOR WILL NOT HONOR
ANY SALARY ASSIGNMENTS

Auditor Horton yesterday issued a
circular letter to the money sharks
about town who have been making a
business of lending money on the sal
aries of government employees. The
Auditor is furious at the constant and
unseemly intrusion of these sharks and
declares that after the month of the
June he will not recognize any such
claims.
"It is entirely wrong" said the Au-
ditor yesterday. Every decision in
the Supreme Courts of the English
speaking world holds that the unearned
salary of a public official is unassign-
able, and any such assignment is void,
both in law and equity, as being
against public policy.
The assignment of these demands
has worked a great deal of hardship
on the administration of affairs In this
Office Attempts have been made at
various times to make me the collect
Ing agent of these brokers who hold
the assignments, while numerous of the
city employees demanded that / should
stand by them and assist In fleeing
the brokers'
Much difficulty has also been caused
by the presentation OF assignments
with questionable asignatures,"
Following is copy OF the letter the
Auditor has sent to the brokers:
Dear Sir: You are notified that COM
thereafter, this office will refuse to ac-
cept or honor any and all assignments
of demands payable out of the treasury
of the city and dscounty of San Francis
co. for saiaries. wages or compensation
Of deputies, clerks, assistants, laborers
or employees in any office or department
of the municipal government of the
city and county of San Francisco
After said date each and every proper
ly Endorsed demand will be delivered In
nerson to such officer or other employe
Entitled thereto. Immediately after said
demand is ready for such delivery.

port. He also expressed his gratifica-
ton for the kindly sentiment Of Am

Authorities Believe Danger
! Is Over.

Atlanta, Ga-, Sept. 20 The race
riot situation is in absolute control
Of the authorities today and business
has resumed normal conditions. The
city schools a:e open and we'll attended.
All manufacturing plants and facto-
ries which have been suspended since
Saturday blew their whistles at 6 am.
this morning and began operations.
All saloons are closed and licenses
to negro restaurants and low bars have
been rescinded by the city council in
special session.
"A citizens committee Of ten, aided
by the mayor, police and military au-
thorities, is in absolute control.
There WAS no disorder last night, and
with fourteen companies Of state mi
litia, battery of artillery, a. battalion
Of cavalry and an increased police
force on duty, it is believed the riots
are scurbed and peace permanently re-
stored.
At mass meeting attended by the
city's leading citizens, resolutions were
adopted deploring the slaughter Of ne
groes and begging against repetition
of the riots. Prominent men, both
white and colored, stand pledged to
put forth their every effort to restore
quiet. The sum of 5000 was raised fol-
tho benefit Of the families of those
killed or wounded.
Special dispatches sent to outside pa
pers have been reflected in inquiries
to local newspapers. The charge has
been made that fifty. negroes had been
killed here and that the local papers
and the press associations were either
being censored or were suppressing the
facts
