is some complaint of collections.

1S,SSG,600 gallons, valued at $45S,SOO,
an increase of so per cent over the
same month last year. OF the ship

COFFEE MARKET
IS ADVANCING

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-Trade
conditions in the local coffee market,
as described by c. E. Bickford & Co..
are as follows;
Business here during the first three
weeks of July was decidedly active,
with an advance Of from one-quarter
10 one-half cent over the quotations
given in our last circular. A slight
softening in values has since occurred
under the influence of lower cost and
freight offerings from Brazil, which
has caused buyers to again adopt a
hand-to-mouth policy in taking in
fresh supplies, pending a more settled
condition. Stocks here, in both first
and second hands, are light-the major
portion of the remaining holdings in
importers hands are either entirely
withdrawn from sale or are held at
prices sufficiently above their present
worth to make them temporarily un-
interesting to buyers"
figures at which the manufacturers can
buy from the importer in large guam
titles. The jobbing prices which the
retailer must pay average about lie
per pound above the following prices:

HEAVY SELLING
Of STAPLE CROPS

Duns Review, July ga variety
of conflicting developments affect
trade conditions, among them the pas
sage of the Canadian reciprocity bill,
unsettlement over the outcome of the
negotiat ons touching adjustment of
affairs i'm Morocco, and the decision
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the Spokane rate and similar
cases. These influences, however, are
mainly of Importance in their rela-
lions to the future. OF more immedi-
ate interest, the excellent progress of
the cotton crop toward maturitX-holds
first place. Weather conditions pre-
vailing throughout the crop area caus-
ed periods of heavy selling of wheat,
ter being rather sensational and for
the time unsettling the textile indus
try, since buyers continue overcau-
tious about making new commitments.
The tone was one of hesitation and af-
fected various branches of the dry
goods trade. Further betterment was
reported in the steel industry and new
orders are fairly numerous. In foot.
wear, trade still hesitates because OF
uncertainty regarding styles, but east
ern factories are better employed than
for some time, and there is a steady
demand for leather and the markets
are firm. Bank clearings show marked
improvement, exchanges this week be
ing 6.1 per cent. above the figure fol
the corresponding week of 1910. Rail
road earnings for the Lrst half of July
are slightly more than one per cent
larger than year ago. The railroads
are re-entering the steel market b!
degrees, several new orders for rail-
and equipment being reported. There
is heavy pressure of new wheat OF
the market, and quotations tend down
ward. Indications point to an ap
preaching turn in the currency move
mand for money in Canada, owing t.
industrial activity and crop-movin
preparations there, called for a cor
siderable shipment of gold to MOI
treal from New York. Foreign con
merce at New York for the lates
week amounted to $31 ,O91,34 as con
pared with $29,O91, 425 in the CORES
ponding week last year. Both import
and exports show gain, imports thi
year being $3,449,145 in excess of e,
ports.

OLAA ACTIVE
BETWEEN BOARDS

Probably the arrival OF three ocean
steamers, with the departure of two,
will partly account for an almost bar

transaction on the board. From the
recess great activity in Olaa, recovered

SERVICE PENSION
BILL IS PASSED
BY HOUSE
Sherwood Measure With Many
Amendments
DEPENDS ON SERVICE
Elghty-Four Democrats and Half
Dozen Republicans Against Bill
Income Limit Cut Out

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Sher-
wood service pension bill which
would add upward of $40,O00,00O tol
the government annual expenditures
by granting increased pensions to CIV
ii and Mexican war veterans on the
basis of length of service, was passed
by the House last night, despite the
determined opposition of many dem
ocratic leaders. Secretary of Interior
Fisher has estimated that the bill will
add $75,000,000 to the pension roll If
the 100000 veterans eligible take ad-
vantage of its provisions. The repub-
licans who voted with the "a demo
Gratis against the bill were. Gardner,
Gillett and Mccall or Massachusetts,
Hill of Connecticut, Kent of Califor-
MIA, McCreary of Pennsylvania,
Payne of N. Y, and Utter of Rhode
Island. Speaker Clark voted with the
majority of his party for the bill and
Democratic Leader Underwood and
Fitzgerald of New York, chairman of
the appropriations committee, voted
against IT,
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where there is disposition to pass
some form OF amended service pen
sion legislation. Senate leaders how
ever, will proceed slowly in the con
sideration OF this legislation. Many
House democrats voted for the meas
ure in the belief that the Senate
would not pass it. The Sulloway age
pension bill, passed by the House last
| spring, failed OF passage in the Sen.
ate at that time. This republican
measure was offered unsuccessfully
in the House as q substitute for the
Sherwood bill. Scores OF amend
ments we're offered and hard but un
successful fight was made to have a
straight 81 a day pension bill estab
lished without regard to length oil
service OF the veterans.
The Sherwood bill would establish
the following basis of pensions: Fol
service 80 days TO six months, $15 q
month; from six to nine months, $2(
a month; from nine months to one
year, S25 month; more than one
year. $50 a month. Two important
changes we're made in the Sherwood
bill during the all-day debate over 1t
A joint amendment by Representa-
tiyes Rauchs OF Indiana and Cox o.
Ohio struck out the provisions deny
Ing entrance to federal soldiers
homes of veterans receiving NOR,
than $25 a month pension, and refus
ing to state homes federal aid for tn,
support of such pensioners. The re
striction against the payment OF an,
pension to veteran whose incom,
exceeds $1,000 year was voted GU
on motion Of Representative Rucke
OF Colorado.

NO MILITIA COMPANY
Not Enough Interest Manifested to
Warrant Recognizing.

Only about half of the young men
who had agreed to become members
of the new militia company put in an
appearance at the armory last even
ing and Adjutant General Lee S.
Tillotson of st. Adams following a
roll call of those present decided that
1t would not be advisable to take any
further action in the matter at pres
ent.
The adjutant general was accom-
panied by Lieut.. l.. r. Barnes, the
regular army officer at present stat
toned in Vermont, and the situation
was discussed in detail. There may
be an opportunity later for Benning-
ton to secure place in the national
guard but it was evident that the
conditions at present we're not right.
Regimental Quartermaster William
J. Lonergan has worked hard to re-
organize the company and is natural
ly disappointed over the outcome. He
had secured the signatures of the
necessary number of young men to
fill the company but the majority OF
them failed him at the last minute.
