COOL WEATHER HELPS
CONDITION OF TRADE
Considering Holiday, Balance
Of Trade Increases Over
Last Week.

New York, Oct. 16.--Bradstrcet's Sat-
urday said:
Trade conditions still show the effect
Of conservatism dominating demand in
all lines. but the balance of business
done this week has been larger, one
holiday considered. The current of
trade is running fuller than a year ago
at this date. This is. however not due
so much to any marked improvement
as it IL to comparison being made with
the lessening volume year ago. Re-
tail trade has been unquestionably ben
Gifted by cooler weather, and this prob
ably is reflected in the many small. but
in the aggregate, large sales by job
bers.
Evidences OF lower prices for raw and
manufactured cotton affecting buyers
and limiting orders are frequent. but
the output of the country's mills is I'M
questionably larger at present than for
number of months past.

PRESIDENT DEFENDS
DOLLAR DIPLOMACY"
In Speech at Sacramento, Cal,
He Upholds Treaties With
Honduras and Nicaragua.

Sacramento, Cal, Oct. 14.-President
Taft's first important speech in CaAifor-
MA was delivered here today from the
steps of.the state capitol building The
president spoke in behalf OF proposed
treaties with Nicaragua. and Honduras
and vigorously defended the policy of
the administration which ne said
undertaking journals" have labeled
dollar diplomacy" 49,
Broadly speaking, President Taft said
ne proposed treaties with these coun-
tries before the Senate would secure
Tor them financial agent in the
United States. who would settle their
existing debts on just basis. and who
would point the road to peace and pros
per1ty to two republics, rich in natural
resources, but torn by strife and rev.
olution. qs
The president pointed out the ef-
'ncacy or similar arrangement with
Santo Domingo, where this government
collected the customs and sees that
foreign debts are paid, according a,
benefcient supervision that Mr.. Taft
said has accrued to the upbuAding Of
Santo Domingo Objection to the trea-
ties In the United States Senate. the
president said. was based largely upon
the proposition that they would make
entangling alliances with republics in
this hemisphere for the promotion of a
banking contract since the money for,
the payment of the debts OF the two
republics would be furnished by Amer
lean interests. Another subject dis
!cussed by the president was that the
Monroe doctrine was a sufficient bond
between the United States and Latin
American countries.
1T Is objected that this As dollar
diplomacy" said the president, and
that we ought to have none of it. Give
q dog bad name and you know what
follows. To call a piece Of state craft
dollar diplomacy Is to invoke the con-
'demnation Of the undertaking journals,
whose chief capital is in the use OF
phrases of lurid character The
United States did not enter into this
treaty for the promotion Of its own
banking business or that Of any of
its citizens. 1t was thought advisable
to favor contract with American
bankers rather than with foreign bank
ers because such a contract would tend
to keep trade with America This Is
the correct object and purpose OF dip.
