FERRY SERVICE To
CONTRA COSTA co.
Would Bring Millions to Mer.
chants of San Francisco,
Says Realty Dealer

'It would be an immense benefit to
San Francisco" says r. T. Shannon,
the Richmond realty dealer, with Offices
in the Russ building. "if the merchants
of this city would substitute a ferry TO
Richmond
There is a payroll over there Of
100000 a month, most of which would
be spent in San Francisco if the work
men and their wives could get over
here conveniently. AS it is now they
are practically compelled to do all their
shopping across the bay on account Of
the time and expense of coming to this
city.
"Ricmonds industries are one of San
Francisco's greatest assets. The work
ingmen and the money are there. The
only thing necessary is transportation
to put them in close touch with the
metropolis, and both cities would be
greatly benefited.
The opening of the Pullman shops
with more than a thousand employees
thlng at once to bring these two muni-
cipalities together. The quickest and
most effective way would be a new
transbay ferry service to Richmond.
Such a ferry service would draw
traffic from San Pablo, Siege, Pullman
and Albany. In all cases 80 to 40 min
utes' time would be saved as compared
with the present Oakland ferry serv-
ice. and 1t could be operated at the
present scale of cost that have made
all the transbay ferries so profitable
mo doubt traffic arrangements could
be made with existing streetcar COM
panies to convey passengers to all
points above mentioned. It strikes me
if the attention of our big San Fran
cisco merchants were called to this
matter they would appoint a commit
tee to examine the situation.
TT would mean from $1,000, 900 to
$3,000,000 brought to this city annually
with a constant increase.
Il have no doubt but excellent ar
rangements could be made with the
people of Richmond and surrounding
suburbs to assist In this matter if It
were put up to them by responsible
parties"

ASHBURY HEIGHTS
TRACT IS BID UP
Previous Offer of S5,275 Is In.
creased in Court to Sum
of $18,050
Some spirited bidding took place il

Some spirited bidding took place in
Judge Coffey's courtroom yesterday.
when the matter of the sale of the tract
of land belonging to the estate of
Adolph Sutro, deceased, came up for
confirmation. The property consisted
of a parcel of ground which has not
yet been cut up into building lots, but
which could be subdivided and would
make As building lots.
At the time Baldwin & Howell held
the auction sale, in the early part of
November, and sold 35 lots on Ash
bury heights, an offer of S5,275 was
submitted for the unsubdivided portion
of the tract. The purchaser was Will
liam H. Humphrey from Kansas. 1t
was apparent from the amount offered
at the sale that the piece had been
overlooked by other prospective buyers,
but after the sale was returned to
court a number of parties called on
Baldwin & Howell to obtain informa-
tion about the property.
When Judge Coffey called for fur
ther bids in court yesterday several
purchasers made higher offers, and in
a few moments the price was raised
from $5,275 to $4,000. At this time
all the purchasers dropped out except
A. Ottinger and Humphrey, the origi-
nal purchaser. These two bid against
each other until the total reached $1S,-
600, when Humphrey increased Ottin-
gers offer to s1S,050- at which price
Judge Coffey confirmed the sale.

HIGHER PRICE FOR
 COTTON EXPECTED

 New York. November 26-Stmulated by reduced crop estimates predicated partly on the last ginning report, prices have moved up sharply this week. Large spot interests former ly bearish are now arrayed on the bul: gone long" Southern interests are more emphatic than ever in express ing the belief that prices are destined to reach a very much higher level. The so-cal1ed Waldorf-Astoria element which often carries a line of 100000 bales or more has latterly taken the bull side. Two well known southern members of the trade who were here for a long period have returned to New Orleans but they are as bullish as ever.
 Speculation has not been broad or active, but as the prestige of the bulls increases they look for bigger for eign and wider scope of the trading. The ginning figures last Monday were 6 couple of hundred thousand bales less than some had looked for and crop estimates of 11,200,000 to 11,300, 900 bales are growing more frequent.
 Some of the more conservative bulls say that they are content to put the crop at 11.100,00O to 12,000,000 bales and regard such a supply as entirely inadequate to fill the gaps in worlds stocks.
 They insist that prices are bound to mount to point which will make the present quotations look cheap.

 Happiness

Many people have kidney trouble and do not know 1t. If you have dull, aching pains in the back, or have to get up often in the night you should lose no time in finding out If your kidneys are diseased. MT. Edwin Denike of 1121 Elm street. Peekskill, N. Y.. suffered for years from kidney trouble. and wants to let everyone Know how he was cured.
 In a recent letter MT. Denike said: q was sick a long time with kidney trouble. The doctor treated me, and finally gave me up as incurable. One day my wife brought home bottle of Warmers Safe Cure, and l commenced using it. I cannot speak too highly of your medicine-it has done so much for me. I am sending this because l think 1t my duty as man to tell my story to others so they can be helped also"

HOLIDAY TRADE
 STILL IMPROVES

New York, November 26-Bradstreets' says today:
 Demand for holiday goods is becoming more prominent and developments in thls respect are responsible for whatever ex- parsion has occurred in trade this week. Novelties, jewelry and such articles as are appropriate to the season are in good request, and the consensus of reports indicate that trade Is in excess of last year. But, on the other hand, trade in general has become more irregular. Thus reordering from jobbers tends to wane, as the season for inventorying approaches and conservatism still acts as check rein on purchasing for spring account Moreover, retail trade reports seem to have lost the relative activity displayed last week. For instance, the south, as a. whole, reports certain degree of bctterment, due probably to the good movement of cotton at high prices, while

Free Remedy Saves WOman'S Health

On nothing are doctors more agreed than that most of the ills of women they could themselves avoid by the regular use of a laxative. women exercise so little that they are prone to constipation. Through false modesty or otherwise they do not attend to themselves. The re- suit is headaches, dizziness, pimply complexion. loss of appetite, etc. If you are now indisposed, before you go to a doctor. and before you take "female remedies" go to your near est druggist and buy a fifty cent or one dollar bottle of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. It will promptly re- lieve you of the symptoms of con- situation, and its tonic ingredients will tone your body and so strength-. en the stomach and bowel muscles that they will do their work again naturally. A woman cannot be re- minded too often to keep the bowels open. It will help her at the month ly period, and will always keep her eyes clear and her mind alert. If you want to try the remedy before you spend any money for it send your address to Dr. Caldwell and he will mail you free sample bottle. You will like it's mild action and its pleasant taste. r
 Dr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his ob- iigation. IIe has specialized in stom- ach, liver and bowel diseases Tor

warm weather hampers distribution of seasonable merchandise in the southwest; but in the northwest trade is quite &C., tive, save In North Dakota, where the crops were short.
 In the central west trade shows a slight increase, but in the east the turn over is disappointing. Collections the country over range from slow to good. Incidentally the improvement that was noticed in the gon and steel trades last week has been replaced by less optimis- tic views. For one thing. considerable disappointment is expressed at the slow ness with which the railways are com ing into the market for supplies and pig iron has turned somewhat quieter. Production is still being curtailed, but stocks continue to increase
