COFFEE SHORTAGE
IS NOW ASSURED

There is probably encouragement to
Abe Louisson and other coffee enthus~
lasts of the Islands in the following,
which appeared in the San Francisco
Chronicle:
Owing to the shortage Of coffee
crops in Brazil and other South Amer
lean countries, the price of that COM
modify has risen considerably, and,
owing to a reported corner made by
Arbuckle and other big coffee men, it
is said it will be 80 per cent higher
than the average before the Central
American crop becomes available.
The rumor of a corner is not taken
seriously-in San Francisco by the deal
ers. but advices from the East have
been harping on this subject for
some time, and the report that the Ar
buckle ring has taken advantage of
the shortage to corner the market
is president.
Several prominent local coffee men
who were asked what they thought
about it yesterday, all admitted that
coffee has been anu is rising, but
they put this down 20 the natural re-
suit of crop shortages and did not
think that the market had been cor
nered, in fact, there are no signs OF
it on the Coast at any rate.
II Brazil, which averages more than
100000 bags of conee a year, and al
one time went as high as 2O000,00(
bags, will produce only 100000 bags
this year, it is estimated. From the
reserve supply which Is held over by
the Government every prolific year
less than 100000 bags are available
so that, even with this extra amount
the supply will still be short.
One month ago No. Rio on which
the price of coffee IS based, was sci
ling at 12 cents a pound. Today /
is selling at 10 3S cents pound, ant
, Eastern pessimists predict a rise t
10 cents before very long. This pos
sible rise is admitted by local deal
ers, but E. H. O'Brien, manager o
c. E. Bickford G. Co., one of the lare
est local coffee brokerage firms, sal,
yesterday that, while the marke
would be high probably for some time
conditions would naturally leve
themselves as soon as the Contra
+ American crop reaches the market
q which will be within the next fou
q months.

The mails this morning knocked the
bottom out of the stock market There
was scarcely anybody with time to
talk stocks, much less TO engage in
trading; and it is hardly probable
that there will be much doing until
after the mail departs late this after
noon for the Coast

any activity at all. and trading in il

100 and 50 shares were made at 1922
so, after which the same was bid for
more but holders had advanced their
figures to S32.7j. The stock is quite
strong and in good demand.
On the board a sale Of $1,000 Nc

BANK SITUATION
IN NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK, September 3-The
Financier says:
The statement made by the AssO-
ciated Banks this week revealed that
even the liberal estimates of Cash
losses, which the currency movements
had indicated to be about S1O.O0O,OOO
to $13,OOO,OOO, were much below the
actual conditions, while at the same
time losses expanded $13, 64O,OOO.
The loss in cash, on the actual
statement, was $17,563,O 900, with de-
crease of only 1883, 100 in deposits
resulting in reduction of S17,18S, 725
in the excess reserve. This now
stands at $31 ,S5S,225 against $1O,247,-
1926 a year ago, and $56,741,975 in
1908. The statement Of averages was
more favorable, showing an increase
of only $3,O0O000 in loans, smaller
cash loss and an excess reserve Of
over SAL 100000. Notwithstanding the
weeks heavy drain, the banks still
hold 27.53 per cent reserve.
The summary of State banks and
trust companies in Greater New York
and not reporting to the clearinghouse
in spite of a loss in cash, showed
strengthening of reserves through a
reduction of over $9,OOOO,OOO depos-

FRED WAREHOUSE

The San Francisco Chronicle pub
fishes the following.
It is quite a far jump from the Ha-
waiian islands 20 the Straits Settle

the trip is taken by way Of London,
England, it becomes practically world

FOR ANTARCTIC TRIP
Definite Plans to Be Made for
Raising $4,000.
PEARY GIFT Is ADDITIONAL
Expedition May Prove the Exist
ence of Wilkes Land, Denied by
English Scientists.

Definite plans for raising the $4,000 to
be contributed toward an American
south pole expedition by the National
Geographic Society have not yet been
completely formulated by the committee
on finance, which will have charge OF
the matter.
IT was said today that the $4,000 con-
tributed by Commander Peary is a per-
sonal contribution toward the expedition
and will not form part of the $4,000
which the society is to raise, in case the
proposition of a joint expedition with the
Peary Arctic Club meets with the approval
of the members. All expenses over and
above 900 are to be shared equally
by the organizations, and it probably
will be to defray the Peary Arctic Club s
share of this additional expense that
Commander Peary's contribution will be
made,
May Prove Continent Exists.
All American antarctic expedition for
the purpose of exploration and scien-
tific Investigation in the far south, which
means dash for the pole. recalls that
English scientists have for long time
denied the existence of our first naval
discovery, Wilkes Land, continent in
East Antarctic. Sir James c. Ross,
II. N. Clement r. Markham. ex-presi-
dent r. G. 5. and Capt. Robert +. Scott
r. N, neither OF whom. 1t is said, has
ever been there, declare emphatically that
Wilkes Land does not exist and should
be expurgated from the charts.
The claims OF those English scientists
had become SO bold and so significant
that resolution directed at them was
presented at the spring meeting, 1909, OF
the American Philosophical Society. In
Philadelphia. The resolution was drawn
by Admiral George w. Melville, Henry
G. Bryant and e. S. Balch.
Lieut.. Charles Wilkes, L. s. N, first
announced to the world. in 1S4O. the ex-
istence of a great antarctic continent.
along whose shores he sailed for dis
lance OF 500 miles. This coast is known
as Wilkes Land. but has not been visited
again.

NO MONEY BEHIND
HIS CHECKS

J. P. Mullen, the switchman who
was injured about a month ago by
falling from the top of a car, has
recovered from his injuries and
has gone east. The night before
he left he wrote out two checks for
$40 each, which he cashed at the
Montana Bar. When they were
presented at the bank for payment
it was found that he had drawn all
his money out before leaving town,
so Officer Parent was notified, who
wired ahead to Havre to have him
arrested. He was taken off the
train at Chinook where he returned
the money to Whitefish and paid
the costs and was then allowed to
go on.
