DULL IN MARKET AGAIN
Apalhellc Conditions Suggest Passing
Price Boosting Influences.
NO EFFECT FROM CROP REPORT
Professional Shorts Run to Cover
Suffering Call Loan Rate Probab-
iy Aids in Restraining Operations
for Further Advance in Prices.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK. Aug. 10.-The stock
market fell into listless apathetic
mood today, which was suggestive of
the passing of the influence most re-
he'd on to stimulate price movements.
The last OF these was the crop report,
and it's effect in attracting new de-
mand to the stock market was neglig
ible, Judging from todays lethargic
trading.
The professionals, who attempted
to anticipate the expected profit TAX
ing by short sales yesterday. were
compelled to cover up their shorts to-
day. This bear covering was respon-
sible fer large part OF the strength
shown in the early stock market to-
day.
1t is not improbable that the stiffen-
ing call loan rate had influence in re-
straining the operations for a further
advance in prices. Cali loans were
made above the per cent rate from
the outset and were taken at that
rate readily by the borrowers. Far as
the rates are from money strinSency,
they represent distinct change from
the plethoric conditions which have
kept idle funds pressing for employ
ment in the stock market at almost
nominal rates for months past.
Even the heavy money settlements
incident to the turn Of the half year
On July 1st did not make any better
rate for day to day loans than 2 per
cent. The immediate cause OF the
high rate yesterday was the weak
bank return of Saturday and the
heavy payments for customs duties
which were incident to the rush OF
Imports to anticipate the enforce
ment of the new tariff law. Customs
receipts are still heavy.

not too much to say that nearly 10000
TO $4,000 Japanese of San Francisco
lived in this section before the recent
movement took many of them back TO
their old quarters.
The list given does not by any means
exhaust the number of occupations to
which the Japanese in San Francisco
are devoting themselves. There are.
for instance. a number of Japanese
doctors and other professional men.
But the Japanese. with whom the San
Franciscan comes most in contact is
the little brown man in domestic serv
ice. either rs a cook or general house
servant These are of two classes,
those who enter homes, hotels or apart
meut houses at regular monthly sal
aries and those who go from one home
TO another doing general housework
at so much an hour. Many of these
day to earn the money which is spent
during the other half in improving
their knowledge of English and in abb
sorbing all sorts of occidental learning
Previous to the fire Of Is 906 the Jap
anese found their habitat in Chinatown
and in the section surrounding China
town on the northern and eastern sides,
adding greatly to the picturesque at
fractions of that oriental region. When
Chinatown was destroyed the Chinese
carried what household gods they
had saved from the confiagration across
the bay TO Oakland. but the Japanese
did not follow their example. They
picked out. with fine business strategy,
a desirable section of the Western ad-
dition and occupied it with such celer-
ity that San Francisco rubbed its COL
lective eyes in wonder at the spectacle.
The section roughly bounded by Frank
lin street on the east, Fillmore on the
west, Geary on the south and Pine on
the north, formerly one of the best
residential districts of the city, became
the particular abode of the sons of
Nippon and has continued so ever since.
JAPANESE BAZAARs
The return of the fashionable white
merchants from Van Ness avenue to
the old downtown shopping district
has given the Japanese an opportunity
to acquire desirable leases on that
great boulevard OF the city and they
OF greatest interest, of course to
the San Franciscan as well as to the
tourist who tarries in this city on his
way around the world. are the glitter
ing Japanese baZaars. In their be-
wildering array of wares may be found
all the products Of art for which tour
lists bargain in the bazaars of Tokyo
and Yokohama and Nagasaki. Silks
OF wonderful fabric. bronzes of weird
design. beautiful brasses, ivories of
the most difficult workmanship and
tea sets of Satsuma are on display side
The San Francisco call., 1909-04-06

by side with all those ingenious gew-
gaws and knicknacks for which the
Japanese artisan is famous.
Some idea of the permanency of the
Japanese population in San Francisco
may be gained from the fact that this
city has three daily Japanese news
papers whose publication is attended
with all the success which an exact
ing editor and a hard headed business
manager could demand. One of them,
the Japanese Daily New World, has an
extensive plant, equipped with limo
type machines. presses of the latest
design and all the other accessories of
a thoroughly up to date journal. A
metropolitan staff of reporters and
editors and advertising men provide
copy for from eight to twelve pages OF
printed matter and the owners of the
paper claim a bona fide circulation of
something like 10000 copies. The
Japanese Daily News and the Japanese
American also claim large circulations.
The Japanese stationery shops al
lure the visitor with their queerly
bound volumes, their illustrated papers,
fresh from Japan, wherein may be
studied the gropings OF the Japanese
comic artist toward the European and
American methods of cartooning and
caricature, as well as their ineXhaust-
ible supplies of prints with "Fujiyama,
sacred mount. looming In the pdcN-
ground of delicately executed land
scapes and their pretty picture postals.
TRADE WITH JAPAN
The trade between the United States
and Japan is of enormous volume and
naturally San Francisco with her COM
manding position at the gateway to the
orient. receives a generous share of 1t.
Figures compiled by the bureau of
statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor show that the imports
to this country from Japan were valued
at SeS,107,545, while the exports from
the United States to Jaan totaled SAL,
1925 1927 for the Il months ending with
June of 1908. The imports of tea from
Japan for that period were valued at
sS.0S4,435; the imports of rice at 1920
054; the imports of mating and mats at
s2,S16,253. OF silk imports the raw
silk for the same period was valued at
S40.67S,534, the dress and piece goods at
s3.171.06 the laces and embroideries
at sI73.471 and other kinds of silk at
s5I3,407.
country's trade with Japan, but they
by no means exhaust it. The impor-
tation of works of art represents an
immense item every year.
Naturally San Francisco gets the
lions share of this import trade. The

san Francisco enjoys an intimate

nese quarter that contributes to her
cosmopolitan character.
While the agitation against Japanese
immigration has always started in San

viruIence here. that agitation has never
interrupted the business relations be-
tween the merchants Of japan and the
merchants Of San Francisco, as well as
those existing between the American

1908 shows that there is approximately
a population Of $4,000 japanese in Cali

than any other section of the state,
being credited with about 10000.
The occupations in which these Jap
snese residents Of San Francisco are
engaged are as varied as the industries
and the innumerable needs Of q great

Corn Has Family Tree.

Now if the corn is on the Goblet,
and the Goblet on the cob and the
cob is on the ear and the ear is in
the husk, what kin is the corn to
the husk? Who ever heard of the
like? Well, L. C. Hendren, the
prominent Miller township farmer,
has an ear of corn that bears out
all of those relationships, in fact
the corn is one of the most peculiar
specimens OF maze seen in Hanni-
bal for a long time. The corn is on
exhibition at Hannibal National
bank and shows seven distinct cobs
upon one ear of corn.
The seed from which this corn
grown was secured by L. c. Hendren
from Egypt, in the basin of the
Nile, the great corn country. The
corn looks very much like seven
ears of corn had been grated into
one stalk, If much of this variety
of corn was raised in the neighbor,
hood of Hannibal, with success, the
farmers would increase their crops
seven times as there are seven ears
of corn to every husk.-Courier,

Those who inveigh against the

In this case six venires of 500
each, 1000 men in all, we're drawn
before twelve men could be found
who we're sufficiently ignorant to
satisfy the requirements of the Ten
nessee law. Four of these IL can
neither read nor write, two under

Republican Reward to Labor.

New York, Feb, %. 1t was stated
officially today that wages will be
reduced in the steel and iron trades
before May /. The wages cut, it is
estimated. will be no less than 10
per cent on unskilled labor, and
from Is to 20 per cent on skilled
labor.
Six hundred thousand employees
of the steel industry and its allied
interests will be affected by the re-
duction, which is the latest move
on the program to follow last weeks
abolition by Morgan's steel trust of
its stand pat" business policy and
the opening of a price war with the
fourteen leading Independents.
The yearly payroll wages to
employees of the blast furnaces, the
steel trades and its allied companies
amounts to $5OO,OOOOOO. The
steel trusts proportion is $2O0,000,-
600, divided among 100000 employ
es in a normal period.
Depending upon this army of
steel workers are 100000 women
and children.
