General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: A notable DEM
onstration of the fundamental sound
ness of American finances was fur
nished this week, when foreign condi-
lions were extraordinarily critical. The
European political complications
caused acute unsettlement of trade
and as a precautionary measure the
domestic securities exchanges were
closed Friday following similar action
at the leading centers abroad.
Early investment buying and vigor-
Gus, banking support contributed to
confidence in the situation here and 1t
was encouraging that money re
NAMED on a fairly stable basis. Quo
tations, of course, were advanced, and
all the important institutions on the
other side found it e%xpedient to raise
their official discount charges. New
York is again being called on for large
amounts of gold and conditions in the
| sterling exchange have been without
parallel, moving up in a sensational
manner.
Developments in commercial and In
dustrial channels have been Overshad

Plans DARING VOYAGE.

An Irvine man is about to make an
attempt to establish a record In the
way Of a voyage to st. Johns, New
foundland. in a s~ixteen-foot open sail
ing boat, reports the London Mail.
The adventurer is MI. James Green.
who is at present employed in Messrs,
Mackie and Thomson's shipbuilding
yard. Mr.. Green has long entertained
the idea of making this attempt, and
has given the matter careful consid'
Grafton. He has made arrangements
for all his supplies being stored In
alright tanks, and with this exception
he does not intend making any altera
tons ON his boat.
He will coast right down to Liver
pool, thence over to Queenstown, and
after completing his stock of provi
sions there, his route will be straight
across the Atlantic to st. Johns.
Mr.. Green will undertake the jour
ney unaccompanied, and will take {
few books with him to read whel
the conditions are favorable, and h
anticipates doing the double journe!
in about FIVE months.

Trade and War.

While a general European war 10
greatly to be deplored, 1t is certain to
result in a great increase of business
and a revival of prosperity for the
United States If it runs its sad and
terrible course, as now seems very
probable.
OF course at the outset, stocks and
bonds and speculative markets are
bound to be demoralized, but with Eu.
ropean agricultural production largely
curtailed and manufacturing largely
suspended, inside of six months Eu-
rope will be calling heavily upon
America for supplies of all kinds. This
will mean higher prices for farm prod
ucts (already indicated by advances
in sugar, wheat, etc., which will re-
dound to the benefit of producers with
industries actively engaged and all
branches of labor well employed.
We may expect heavy shipments to
non-combatants of goods which they
formerly bought from the nations that
are now at war. According to inter-
national law neutral nations are not
supposed to furnish supplies to bellig-
erents but If war. continues long, they
will have to buy hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of goods and these
will be sold to them, shipped as per
their instructions and, of course, at
theif risk.
There is one contingency that is
likely to prove a pretty heavy strain
unnu fhic nountrv Thora ia LOTS nj
European money invested in America.
This is likely to be called back. with
the result, first, that values would be
depressed by the selling movement
and, second, that we would be Obliged
to dig up all our own spare change tt
carry our own securities. But We
would be getting them cheap and the
result would enhance the financia
prestige of the United States.

INDUSTRY IA
AND "
OUTPUT OF ARTIFICIAL SILK
Last Year $4,000 Pounds Were Used
In One German Town for Manu-
facture of Mems Ties.

The organization here, now 1 prog
ress, of a $500, 900 company to manu-
facture artificial silk from cotton gives
an added interest to recent figures In
consular reports covering the artificial
silk industry.
There is little doubt that Germany
now heads the list both in production
and consumption of artificial silk. Last
year 59O,8O0 pounds were used In Kre-
field alone, chiefly in the manufacture
of mems ties, whereas only 100
pounds were consumed by Swiss manu-
facturers. The total valuation Of goods
made from artificial silk in Lyons last
year Is estimated at not more than
$3.50, 000.
The German silk trade showed In
creased interest in the product in 1905
when prices were reduced from $2.15-
$2.S7 a pound to $1~.72-$1.S3. The piece
goods trade uses chiefly the finer quail
tiles, nitrocellulose silk being almost
exclusively employed, while the velvet
manufacturers take the coarser quail
ties. principally viscose silks.
During the last three years the price
Of nitrocellulose silk has ranged be
tween $1.27 and $1.56 a pound, ant
that of viscose silk between $1.2s ant
$1.40.

STOCK AND CROP NOTES..

It is estimated that the North Pa
cifc Fruit Distributors will market %
carloads of melons this season.
Crops are reported as good around
Orofino, Idaho, with barley turning out
from go to 70 bushels per acre.
It is estimated that it will require
25, 900 apple boxes to handle the apple
crop around Greenacres, Wash.
Barring possible adverse weather, 1t
is estimated that the Oregon 1914 hop
crop will exceed that of 1913, which
was $4,000 bales.
J. H. Brislawn, deputy horticultural
inspector, states that the impression
that Spokane valley orchards are bad
ly overrun with fire blight is greatly
overestimated.
Hog prices at Lewiston, Idaho. this
season reached top price this week
when two carloads were purchased FOL
Tacoma parties at 8 cents per pound
The cattle market there is nov 6 tt
6A cents.
It is now estimated that the Yak
ina, Wash, hop crop for 1914 will b
| 10000 bales, an increase OF 1000 bale
over the first figures given. This In
crease is caused by the heavier yiel'
of the two-year-old vines than ex
pected. The crop Is estimated to b
worth 100000.

DISPLAY BRAVERY IN ACTION
Tribute of American Army Oficer 10
Mexican Federals and Con
stitutionalists.

In describing the battle of Nuevo
Laredo, Mexico, January liz, lSl4, Do
tween the Huerta forces and the a
ranzistas, First Lieut.. Bruce T.
Disque, Third United States cavalry,
says that mo one who saw this analr
will aver believe that the Mexican
is lacking in bravery, courage or inl
tiative. The personal courage OF the
Mexicans was noticeable. A federal
officer mounted rode out from near
the center of their line with q small
detachment to reconnoiter. 1t was not
long before his horse was shot l the
loins and sank to the ground. AT the
time other bullets were tearing up
the earth about the officer. He Slowly
stepped off his animal and calmly
walked back to the works, smoking
his cigarette, seemingly unperturped'
Another interesting display of bravery
was given by the members OF q Car
rama machine gun crew. One man
was operating a gun in the open. he
would fire a few rounds, and then
stand up and walk about for a few mo-
ments, and then return and fire some
more. Federal bullets were making
things warm about his gun, but he
never seemed to notice them. Finally
he was hit and apparently killed. An
other man Immediately came out of
shelter and started to work n gun
He lasted about five minutes when he
fell mortally wounded and was imme'
diately replaced by a third man, who
picked up the gun, moved 1t about ~
yards to the right, and opened ire
No one of these men made a hurried
motion, all were deliberate and ap
~parently u~nconcerned, and absolutely
Indifferent to the danger of the fed
eral bullets"
This was typical of the conduct o
the Mexicans under the observation
of Lieutenant Disque. With the con
testants it was a fight to the death
for early in the action it was eviden
, that no quarter would be the rule
l This was apparent after a small dc
