Pacific Coast Wood and Iron says:
There is noticeable Improvement in the

from the yards TO the jobs, although prices
have not been materially affected. From Los
Angeles come reports that business is greatly i'm

retailers there are still slightly afraid that there

around Sacramento there is evident movement
toward q price improvement with the demand
increasing, so that the next so days will prob

large sales have been recorded during the last

Cedar shingles stiffening somewhat al
though the demand Is not heavy the manu-

again In active operation.
Fir is exceedingly light in tone and the pros
poets for any immediate rise in prices not

There very little demand for redwood
owing somewhat to the general conditions, but
principally because of the prevailing low price OF

81 TO $40 of the No. q list as far as the San

quotation. Export prices are no different than
they were 80 days ago.

The Money Marker

Henry Clews the New York banker. saws:
Easy money is still the dominating factor in
activity of business money is very redundant
not only in New York, but at all financial CEN
ters at home and abroad. The supply of COM
naercial paper is limited, and borrowers can
now readily find better terms In London than
in New York AT home the ease in money is
greatly aggravated by the mass Of paper injected
into our currency. On April / the amount of
circulation in the United States was Sc. .os6-

OF the provision allowing the withdrawal Of

Such an abnormal amount of paper currency at
a time of business depression when money is not
wanted is working out its inevitably undesirable
results There is use Disgusting the fact
mainly due TO the fact that our rigid bond
secured currency system fails to adapt itself TO
the fuctuating requirements of business. Were
currency based upon scientific principles it
would now be contracting. instead Of expanding
and interest rates would be upon more natural
basis. Very shortly we shall have another bond

that should not blind the eyes of the prudent to
the fact that an advance purely infationary
conditions can not be continued indefinitely and
must, unless checked. provoke unpleasant con-
sequences in the indefinite future. Another
feature In connection with the monetary situa
tion is that a redundancy of paper money
always tends to drive out gold We have
