To Be Held at Same Time In
State Of California.

Washington. May PA joint
resolution has been presented TO
Congress authorizing and requesting
the President to issue an invitation
to the Republic Of Mexico. and the
Republics Of Central and South
America to participate in an exposi
ton to be held in San Diego. Califor
mia. throughout the entire year Of
1915. and there is every reason to
believe that the resolution will be
passed at the extra session.
It came as surprise to some CT
the senator's and congressman to
learn that two expositions are to be
held in California in 1916 and both
for the purpose Of celebrating the
opening Of the Panama Canal, but
the representatives Of the San Diego
project. now in Washington. were
able to show an agreement entered
into betweenthe two exposition or
CARNATIONS in California, whereby
the San Francisco organizers agreed
to assist the San Diego people to get
the present exposition resolution
through, after San Francisco had Sc
cured federal recognition for her
exposition. This agreement was
signed more than a year ago.
There is no opposition to the San
Diego exposition resolution apparent.
Senator John d. Works, of CalifOr
mia. one of the Progressives. intro
duced it in the senate, and Congress

ern California districts. and Demo
crat, introduced it in the house.

exposition. who heads a delegation
Of San Diego citizens and exposition
officials now in Washington. explains
that San Diego was first in the field
with q project to celebrate the canal
opening by an internationa! exposi'
ton. and that San Diego has never
let up on the project since it was
started. Following the signing OF
the agreement with San Francisco,
San Diego consented to keep its pro
ject in the background until Sen
Francisco had. won its recognition
from the government. but during
that period San Diego proceeded to
complete an organization Of exposi.
ton workers. which contains Johr
G. Olmsted. Of Boston. celebrated
landscape architect who is laying
out the exposition grounds in Balbos
Park. in San Diego; Bertram G
Goodhue, greatest exponent OF
Spanish-Colonial architecture in the

that will house the San Diego expo
sition, and Frank P. Allen, Jr., who
will be Director of Works and who
was selected because he was the
man who completed the Alaska

and had it ready on time.
Director General Collier has as

exposition. but viii build and open

TRADE IS IMPROVING
Business Has Continued to Gain for
Several Weeks.

New York, Nov. 25.=R. G. Dun &

says:
Both in business confidence and in
volume of business transactions the
situation continues to improve. The
gain is very gradual and conservative
and there is little disposition to go be-
yond satisfaction of Immediate wants
but il is gain; and the significant
thing is that this improvement has
now been maintained for several
weeks The cessation of disturbing
international difficulties, the easier
conditions of the international money
markets, the growing conviction that
domestic economic problems are Shap-
ing themselves for the better. and the
pressing need OF doing something to
replenish depleted stocks. all contrib
ute to the improvement which is be-
ing achieved.
A notable development is the more
active buying of rails. cars and other
equipment by the railroads.
Purchasing of cotton goods of the
the manufacturing trades has steadied
prices Print cloths are selling more
freely and wide cloths are from one
sixteenth to one-half cent higher
Prints are being bought steadily,
ducks are well sold UP and underwear
and hosiery for fall is firmer. Mis-
cellaneous export trade is steady.
Dressed goods and mems wear mills
are in better position as to orders
and are cIeaning-up stocks very rapid

Footwear conditions improve as the
season advances.
