SAN FRANCISCO ON
NEW INTEREST LAW

Says the San Francisco Chronicle of
June 10.
The passage of the postal savings
bank act, fixing the legal rate of in
terest on deposits at 2 per cent per
annum, has renewed and increased the
prevailing tendency of the banks to
reduce the rate of interest in savings
banks from to 1-2 per cent per an
mum. The local bankers are watching
with deep concern the action of East
ern savings banks in the matter of re-
ducing the rate of interest on deposits.
81 do not believe that any of the San
Francisco savings banks will want to
reduce the present rate of interest on
deposits" said an official of one of the
leading banks of San Francisco.
-Four per cent interest on deposits
is just double what the Government
offers to pay on deposits in the postal
savings bank, and the savings banks
of the country are just as safe as will
be the postal savings bank, when es-
tablished," said an official of another
bank.
''Tf only one of the large savings
banks will start reducing the rate of
interest, the others will soon follow"
said the cashier of a local savings
bank.
The large banks are not inclined to
reduce the rate of interest on depos-
it's, according to what their officers
said on the sugject. although they are
watching the action of the Eastern
bankers with keen interest. "The San
Francisco savings banks are busy at
present making up the annual accounts
and they will pay interest on the depos
it's according to the earnings" is about
I the substance of what the leading
bankers of San Francisco said on the
subject.
The Hibernia Savings and Loan So
ciety of this city has received a tele-
gram from J.. V. Clarke, president of
the Hibernia Bank Chicago, stating
that the rate of interest paid at Chi
cage on savings deposits are uniforml
per cent, and will remain unchanged
The following are the savings banks
rates prevailing in New York city:
! Four banks pay at the rate of per
cent, straight; seven banks pay IL
per cent straight, and one bank pays
10 per cent on deposits over $1,000
and 4 per cent on deposits of less THAI
$1,000
Eastern bankers say the decline il
the market value of legal savings banl

STOCKS AND BONDS
IN NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK, June 2O.--The favor
able effect on the tone of the Wall
street market of the disposition of the
railroad legislation may be due simply
to feeling of relief that it is out of
the way. Some of the clauses are avow-
eddy distaseful to the railroads as we'll
as shippers. The more immediate in
fluence of the bill in the stock market
comes from the fact that it's passage
will be made the signal for renewal
notices of the intended increase in
freight rates.
In the financial district the convic
ton is general that increases will be
granted. This conviction underlies the
apprehension that tactics of professed
discomfort and alarm will be used by
the railroads in the conduct Of their
campaign for the increase, tactics
which may operate to discredit railroad
securities as well as to recommend
compliance with demands for increased
rates. $50
The active efforts banking re-
representatives. toward reconciliating
great shippers to the desired rate in
creases and the necessary consultation
with the Government authorities en-
joined by the new railroad law carry a
broad suggestion that future railroad
rates are likely to be subject of agree
ment, which the antitrust law can
hardly be invoked to prevent.
The jump in wheat checked the slow
ly rising tendency of prices of stocks
but without providing a stronger in
fluelce on the granger stocks than OF
the general list. Iron producers seen
to be making concessions still to secure
the larger volume of orders which are
reported. Copper also showed another
decline in price in London today. The
offering for public subscription of the
Southern Pacific terminal mortgage
bonds upset a supposition that these
bonds have been disposed of to German
and Swiss bankers at absolute sale
The London Market remains quiet, il
spite of the conviction of a comm!
period of easy money.
Bonds were firmer Totai sales (pa
value), $1,4S5,0OO. United States 81
declined IA per cent in the bid price
on call.

MR.. WOOD YEARNS
FOR SUNNY DAYS

In a place where all is so grandiand
imposing, and the people all so rich
and care free, one would not think
happy, smiling Promoter H. P. Wood
would yearn for anything in the world
beside at Atlantic City. But he does.
Between the times when he is selling
pineapple juice, telling the people
about the volcano and sweeping out
the mud that his visitors carried in on
their shoes Mr.. Wood thinks of the
sunshine and balmy air of Hawaii and
signs deeply. In a letter received by
the Promotion Committee yesterday he
let's out some Of his impulses in this
wise:
1.-THE miserable weather we are ha-
wing has simply brought business to a
standstill on the Boardwalk.
THE weather man promises us sun
shine tomorrow. 1t will be refreshing,
indeed, to be abe to inhale breath
of dry air"

LATE REPORT OF
WILLETT & CRAY

On June 16 Willett & Gray New
York; issued the following somewhat
lengthy but instructive report on the
sugar situation:
The week under review has been
one of repeated attempts of sellers TO
realize sales at current market quota
lions, basis of 2 7-Sc. c. and f. (4.24c
landed for spot, SO deg. test, but with
rather poor success, owing to several
unfavorable conditions, the principal
of which is an over supply of imme-
diately available sugars pressed for
sale beyond the ability of refiners to
take care of, both at home and
abroad.
European operators are beginning
to realize, for the first time, apparent
ly, how greatly they have been misled
by continued pessimistic Cuba crol
estimates, which at one time touched
as low as 100000 tons.
Every pessimistic crop report sent
abroad had it's immediate effect on
speculative prices over there, unit" the

PHILIPPINE CANE
DAMAGED BY PESTS

Willett & Gray in their sugar review
sounds a note of alarm in regard to
cane pests / nthe Philippines, saying:
Press reports indicate that the gov
eminent of the Philippines is begin
ming to take an active interest in aid
ing the native growers of sugar cane
to adopt modern methods and place
their crop on a remunerative basis.
At present not only are all methods Of
handling the crop and manufacturing
the sugar very crude, but the fields
especially on the island of Negros, are
overrun with insect pests which do a
great deal of damage and which the
Ignorance of the natives has allowed
to increase unchecked during the past
thirty years. The government is now
planning extensive experiments to dis
cover the best way to combat these
pests and to improve the quality of
the cane. At present they recon-
mend thorough cultivation and rest
for the infected fields; to let them lie
idle for year or two and then to fer
tilize them and rotate crops. The
principal pests at present are the
moth, attacking the cane at the grow
ing point of the new shoot; the root
beetle, feeding on the roots, and the
leaf scale, consuming the leaves Of the
plant. For thirty years these pests
have been known in Negros, but not
until recently have they become a Sc
rious menace to cane growth.
A recent report by a sugar expert
says that the soil and conditions ip
the islands seem equal to any region
of Cuba; only in methods and ex
perience are local growers behind the
Cubans.
An experiment station may be estab
lished for the planters benefit.

keep up the 4 per cent rate and at the
same time keep M a proper surplus.
The Wall Street Journal, in a arti.
Gle relative to the reduction in inter
est on deposits, in a recent issue says:
Interest at per cent on savings
gains favor with local banks, and sew
erl banks will follow the precedent
established by five institutions last
December. Advocates of the 8 ID per
cent interest rate on savings bank de-
posits in New York say the time is
near when 4 per cent will be almost
unknown, except in the case Of banks
which have a penomenally large ratio
of surplus to deposits"

OF HENRY CLEWS

Henry Clews New York;, writing
under date of June IS, says:
The tendencies in financial affairs
appear to be in the direction of impro-
vement. All known unfavorable feat
ures have been so literally discounted
and prices have suffered such a pro-
longed decline that moderate recovery
seems at least a reasonable expecta-
ton. Apparently stocks have been
we'll sold out, and the market has
reached level where the attention of
careful investors is more easily arous-
ed. For some time past corrective
influences have been quietly at work
the effect Of which is now being seen.
Liquidation has not yet been confined
to stocks, but has also extended to
grain, cotton, copper, land and other

suggested that the bill be amended 80
as to require all stored meats to be

suggestion was opposed by John H.
Morrell. a pork packer Of Ottumwa.
Iowa; John s. Munce of Richmond.
Va, and z. S. Sinclair Of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, who were witnesses to-
day. They said the placing Of these
dates on the meats would result in
confusion. in that the public did not
understand that cured meats were i'm

complained that they have to compete
with meats shipped to foreign coun-
tries where the dates are not required

FOUND NOTE Of
SUPPOSED SUICIDE
Claims That He Committed
Murder Six Years Ago in
McHenry County

Bismarck. N. D.. April 26-The find
ing of note in a coat on the North
ern Pacific bridge near here. in which
John Hoson confesses to the killing
Of Alfred Peterson at Balfour. N. D.,
six years ago, are principal features
of supposed suicide at the big bridge
near this city. Inquiry at Balfour
and Towner fails to disclose the de-
tails Of the supposed murder. al
though it is said that an affair of that
kind occurred in that section at about
that time.
Hoson. who is supposed to have
committed suicide. will probably never
be recovered, as the Missouri river
at this point has reputation of not
giving up it's dead.
In the note Hoson says he was tired
of evading officials and that he be-
lieved suicide was the best scheme.

The Bureau Of American Re.
publics Have a Magnificent
Home

Washington, April 26.-The beauti-
full new home of the international
bureau of the American republics,
was today formally dedicated in the
presence Of most DISTINGUISHED COM
pany. Just two years ago President
Roosevelt laid the corner stone CT this
building, which has been d"scriNed bv
Andrew Carnegie as a temple ,-f
peace, commerce and friendship" ana
which Secretary Root has called a
capitol in the capital of the Unitea
States Of all the American nations I"
The ceremonies on that occasion were
most impressive and elaborate and
those of today were fully in keeping
with them.
The international and local appreci-
alton of the significance Of the dedica-
tion of this diplomatic palace was
abundantly proved by the presence at
the exercises as participants in the
program Of the president of the United
States, the secretary Of state, the Mex
lean ambassador, Cardinal Gibbons.
Senator Elihu Root, Andrew Carne-
gle. Bishop Harding, Director John
Barrett, members of the diplomatic
corps, of the supreme court and the
cabinet as well as senators and repre-
sentatives. of the national congress,

long list Of distinguished men and
women.
The celebration to which the presi-
dent referred, as the most important
International event which Washington
had witnessed in many years, was di-
vided into two parts; in the afternoon
were held the actual ceremonies at.

Impressive speeches were made by
eminent officials and individuals. The

FARMERS SIANO
HIGH PRICES
A South Dakotan Tells Why
Pork Costs More Than It
Formerly Did

Washington, April 26.-Why pork
chops and pork roasts cost more now
than two. three and four years ago,
was the subject Of expert testimony
given, In the senate food probe today
by Peter w. Peterson of Clay county,
South Dakota.
Mr.. Peterson makes a speciality Of
raising hogs. He said he sold porkers
at prices ranging from $3.50 a hun
dred pounds in 1900 to $6.53 in 1909.
The price then jumped to $9.3e rs the
average from January to this week.
Corn. the prol.lci on which hogs
chiefly are fattenef, averaged 5YA1-4
cents bushel in 1908 and Sc 1-2
cents in 1909, in comparison with
from 80 to 40. cents several years ago.
"Now," ,said Mr.. Peterson, -pork is
high because there are. not enough
hogs to. supply the demand. Corn eis
low because there are not enough
hogs to meet the supply" -
Mr.. Peterson showed that the aver
age wage paid to farm hands had al
most doubled in ten years, that the
value of grain producing farm lands
had actually doubled in his section,
that the cost of farm implements had
increased twenty-five per cent, that
clothing costs the farmer from twen-
ty-five to fifty per cent more, and that
everything else he had to buy showed
corresponding increases, yet he said,
he was making good profits and did
not feel the 1907 panic at all.
