TO BE INADVISABLE
BANKS REQUEST PEOPLE TO BE
PATIENT
Los Angeles Institutions Tender
Thanks to Their Patrons for the
Admirable Way the SItua-
tlon Has Been Met

issue scrip; and
Whereas. It would not have been necessary
for them to have done had it not been that
the banks In all the larger cities OF the coun-
try did so; and
Whereas. the Los Angeles banks have. dur
ing the holidays declared by the governor or
the state of California by the issuance or
scrip, conserved the business interests Of the
community, and at the same time have treated
their customers literally, supplying their
actual wants in coin where necessary; and
Whereas, the legal holidays declared by the
governor Of the state of California are about

public that the banks will, as soon as said
he lidays are ended. return to gold basis, and
make all payments in coin or currency, ana IN
unlimited amounts and
Whereas, city in the United States has
yet done so, and 1t will not be advisable for
the banks of Los Angeles to do so until the
banks in the larger commercial centers have
discarded scrip and resumed coin payments;
Now, therefore. be 1t resolved that the puo-
lie be requested to bear with the situation In
patience until the banks generally throughout
tho country have redeemed scrip and resumed
specie payment; that the thanks of the Los
Angeles Clearing House association be and
they arc hereby rendered to the patrons of the
Los Angeles banks for the admirable manner In
which they have met the situation and that
they be requested to continue the use and cir
oulation Of scrip until It can be retired with
safety to the public and TO the banks.

RETAIL BUSINESS AIDED
BY HOLIDAY SEASON

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK Dec 2o-Brastreet's tomorrow
will say: Holiday buying has had the center
o the stage and retail business has felt very
perceptibly this spirit of the season While
much more marked than some years ago, now
ever the volume of retail buying as whole IS
not up to expectations and is certainly well
below a year ago at this date.
Wholesale and jobbing business naturally
tends toward quiet at this time. and statesmen
are very generally in from the road, but the
falling off in transactions in these branches
from the normal is very marked at present,
and the tendency in industrial lines Is still
cward curtailment, instances OF this Delng
found in the iron and steel, bituminous coal,
coke, lumber and cotton goods lines In whicn
latter a canvass is now being made py New
England manufacturers as to the future OF
production Sentiment as to the outlook for
trade next year Is very mixed.
Conditions In financial circles are still slowly
but quite surely approaching normal. From
the country at large there is reported con-
t'nued easing of the situation as regards cash
payments, and several cities are practically on
a cash basis with clearing house certificates
being cancelled and cashiers checks and emer-
gency currency being retired; but 1t Is TO pc
oted that the premium on currency IS still
maintained at several large cities. ana until
this disappears the normal cannot be said to
hove been restored.
The firmnesJ OF call and the scarcity of time
money at New York, with the maintenance OF
the currency premium at or around per cent
rowever, is taken to indicate the conservatism
of money supplies pending the heavy first Of
the year disbursements.
Interior cities show more inquiry Tor COM
rrerciaI paper and considerable loans made on
time. Commercial collections are very slow
and as vet reflect little benefit from the cur
rent holiday purchases Several cities enlarged
savings bank withdrawals, presumably due to
holiday expenditures.
A very favorable feature in the present pc
riod of depression is the tendency towards the
enlargement of ou" export trade This is most
noticeable in the grain trade and not, by the
way, entirely on tho east coast of the country,
because the movement on the north Pacific
coast is very large and shows signs OF heavy
taking of wheat, largely for the United King
dom.

cember 20 number 2S9 against 2s4 for last

ganization has shipped 5000 sacks of sweet po-
tatoes this season, and has over 1000 sacks

season opened at IS a sack and for several
weeks very high prices were received for the
output

farmers will hold their output for the higher
prices which they are looking for about March
