PROHIBITION IN THE SOUTH

The temperance reform movement

States. and from there It is spreading
to all parts of tho Union, and in all
probability liquor selling viii soon be

Personal EXTRAvAGANcE.

The extravaganza of the retail trade
In ladies' spring hats and In some other
lines of goods that are more or less or
the nature OF Injuries, alarms the man
of moderate income.
Young wives In particular, whose
husbands are just making start in life
and are working for modest salaries
may think it all right to make frequent
purchases of costly wearing apparel,
but from our standpoint such luxury
while always Objectionable, is espeeial-
ly dangerous at this time.
The West has not suffered so much
as have certain Industrial centers OF
the East from the recent financial
stringency, and retail purchases scarce
" abatea at any time, but the dam
ger Is not yet over.
In an Intelligent review of monetary
conditions on the Pacific coast, Los
Angeles correspondent points out that
notwithstanding the hopeful predictions
that bankers, brokers and real estate
men have been making ever since the
manic of last fail struck the Pacific
Coast, the expected Improvement IN
general business conditions has not ma
terialized In fact the general stagna-
ton is more marked mt the present
time than at any period since the first
paralyzing days of Clearing House GER
tificates. Even the most optimistic
have now ceased to predict speedy re-
sumption of business activity, and all
classes appear to regard it as inevita-
BILE that o prolonged period of depres-
sion is upon us. Bankers, In particular
do not hesitate to discourage their GUS
toners from embarking upon new en-
tcrprises: and merchants have cancelled
large orders on account of the dulness
of retail trade and the expectation of
lower prices The number of the UNI
employed increases steadily, and the
probability of extensive wage reduc-
tions Is creating considerable uneasi-
ness.
1t seems likely, therefore, that the
coast cities have special reason to anti
| clpate duh times and unsatisfactory
business and financial conditions. San
| Diego Los Angeles, san Francisco,
! Portland, Seattle, Spokane, and practl-
cally every important town of the Far
West are overbuilt. The growth OF the
past few years has been so rapid that
every one had fallen into the habit of
discounting the future, The collapse of
boom conditions and the special causes
that are leading to the withdrawal OF
both populutian and wealth to new ag-
rlcultural districts that are springing
into existence in California, ARIZONA and
New Mexico have already resulted in
leaving an abnormally large number of
business and tenement buildings va
cant II may be several years before
the demand for such properties becomes
sufficiently active 20 cause a general
resumption Of building.
