Pensacola. Fla. Feb. 17. tSpecialI-- Samuel R. Van sant. ex-governor Of Minnesota and a prominent republican n is in the city, and while he claims his mission here has nothing to do with the waring factions in the Re- publican party of this state and par tieulariy in Escabia county. there is some belief expressed that his arrival here at this time has q significant bearing. especially so as politicians with both the Taft and Foraker bcoms are expected here at any time.
 Ex-Governor Van Sant in an inter- view denies that he is here on peiit- ieai mission. and says while he is a republican he Is nevertheless a strong admirer of Governor Johnson. bis suc- cessor in office. and he believes that the latter would make the democrats one of the best candidates for pres ident. but would not predict that the democrats would choose the Minnesota governor.
 Mir. Van Sant will remain here until Wednesday. when he will go to points on the East Coast for the remainder of the winter.

LOCAL MARKETS
San Francisco Money Market

Conditions in the local money market remain
about as for weeks past. The commercial banks
have not changed their attitude in regard to
commercial loans but the savings banks in
some instances have relaxed little in real
estate loans and making few small ones
to actual home builders. Tie commercial banks
are now financing the Hawaiian island sugar
crops and entering upon the handling
of the canned fruit industry for the current
season. Bankers report collections improving
and conditions in this respect steadily growing
easier. They say that there is considerable
liquidation going on, the merchants stocked
up too heavily after the fire and in consequence
are now Obliged to realize. A fnctor deterrent
TO any expansion in the employment of funds
is the forthcoming presidential election. which
renders financial interests cautious, and the
bankers do not expect any pronounced change
in current conditions until after the election,
They say that were it not for the election
conditions would be about normal. as We
have left the fire, strikes, graft and the recent
panic behind us.
Yesterdays changes advance in silver
and corresponding advance in Hongkong ex-
change. New York and sterling rates remained
unchanged. Paris London was lower.
The Siberia took out for Hongsong a treasure
list of sl53. 800 consisting of $l06, 500 in silver
bullion shipped by the American national bank
with the option of Shanghai. and 1000 in
silver bullion, shipped by the Anglo Californian

BILE among shorts for what little offerings were
put on the market. The strength developed dur
