NATIONAL BOND ISSUE CLEARS
THE ATMOSPHERE
FINANcIERs OF LOS ANGELES
HAVE NO FEAR
With Uncle Sam Behind the Credit,
All Will Be WeII-Opnions Of
Leading Business Men Indi-
cate Prosperity

Protracted inquiry among bankers and
business men reveals happier condition
of mind regarding the financial situation
resultant from the fact that the federal
government has come to the aid of the
money market in substantial way, as
announced in Monday mornings news
dispatches.
Trouble Was Temporary
1t was a proof that the disturbed con-
ditions of the past few weeks were only
temporary, and that the government
would see that affairs were improved
without further delay. Crops can be
moved, and the unreasonably frightened
hoarders need have no fear now to dis
gorge their hidden cash.
The government now stands sponsor for
the country's safety.
Everything is encoura ging," said NJ.
p Snyder of the California Savings
bank. "AIl that is needed is that the
people shall go on about business and
there will be business. They can do bus
mess now just as well as ever. And busi-
ness is being transacted. Here is an in
stance which shows what is being done:
A week ago last Saturday certain COM
paratively small store on Broadway,
which does not handle the necessities of
life, had $1100 as the days receipts Last
Saturday the days receipts were $500,
a gain of $500 in one week. That's an in
dication of the revival. If a small store
experienced such an increase how much
better report the big establishments
might make.
Banks Receipts Larger
yesterday our bank received the larg-
est amount of deposits of any day since
the recent furry started.
1.-The governments offer of Panama
bonds and certificates of Indebtedness
will clear the atmosphere, and as soon as
the purchase money is transferred, and
the national banks can get the new circu-
lation notes, (Which will be secured by
the bonds,) into circulation, the trouble
will be all over. The government is do,
ing only what the banks have been do
ing, but then you know Uncle Sam is
great confidence restorer.'
Healthy Tendency Increases
"Our business is entirely normal" was
the comment of W. ]. Washburn of the
Equitable Savings bank. There has
been very little variation in our depos-
it's and our amount of cash is steadily
growing. The people are gaining conf
dence and there is. no valid reason at
present for their not going about their
affairs with the same assurance as for
merly. The governments move was a
good one. We have felt it's beneficial re-
suits already U

Products Are a Source Of Profit on the
Farm.
Vermont has long been q leading
state in maple sugar products Some
how the climate and soil seem to BIO
particularly adapted to the growth and
development OF this industry. The long
er period of passing from cold to
warm weather in spring is greatly in
favor OF the more extended flow Of sap
and Of the best quality.
An Extensive Demand.
The making of sugar and strip on
those farms where there are extensive
groves Of the sugar maple is the source
Of much profit and helps to supply an
extensive demand All those having
sugar orchards Of value should en-
deayor to make the most from them.
A number OF years ago an organ
ization known ais the Vermont Sug-
ar Makers association was formed,
which has been Of much benefit to the
state. Annual winter meetings have
been held, sometimes in connection
with the State Dairymen's association,
and these have helped much in awak-
ening and keeping up good lively in
terest in the business.
Quality an Object.
Exhibits of maple sugar products as
well as OF sugar making apparatus
have been made at these meetings,
and these have been interesting and
instructive. The aim has been to en-
courage the production Of the largest
amount possible Of sugar and strip
and of the best quality and place II
upon the market as the pure, unadul-
terated product OF the maple.
To assist In this Iaudable effort some
seven years since a sugar exchange
was formed. II was located in the en-
terprislng village of Randolph.
The idea was 70 have a central depot
wdere the sugar and strip could be
gathered from the farmers Of the state
and put into the best shape for mar
ket. The sugar comes in tubs and strip
principally In barrels. More strip than
sugar is received.
The sugar and strip come largely
from a section OF country about RAN
dolph and extending upon the western
side OF the state, where the most Of the
product is made
It requires about six weeks to put up
these products for the market after
they begin to come in. This year some
10000 gallons Of sirup win be disposed
Of, aside from the sugar. which must
be considerable in amount-E. 7. In
