General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Changes in
business conditions have been mainly
in the direction of improvement and
confidence is further strengthened
The first real cold snap of the winter
was decidedly favorable to these
branches of retail trade largely de-
pendent upon the weather, while the
demand for fuel was also accelerated
by the exceedingly low temperature.
A significant failure is the revival
of activity in commercial paper, mer-
chants and manufacturers finding 1t
possible to provide for their require
ments at considerable easier terms
than heretofore.
Almost without exception reports
from the leading sections OF the coun-
try indicate that mercantile and in
dustrial enterprises are being under
taken with increased vigor and 1t is
gratifying that signs of improvement
are clearly apparent in iron and steel.
Bradstreet's says: Improvement is
the keynote of this weeks dispatches
Much of the betterment is sentimental
in character, but at the same time
considerable of it is actual and sub
stantial. Foremost in the budget OF
news is the better state of employ
ment incident to the resumption OF
operations in plants that had closed
down over the holidays, particularly
in the iron and steel industry; the
freer buying OF commercial paper
with banks seeking desirable grades
and reporting supplies not equal tc
demand: the all-round ease in money
following months of restricted credits
and stringency and betterment In de
mand for spring and beyond.

to be raised it must be by increasing

SILVER MAY BECOME MONEY
Of FINAL REDEMPTION
Silver May Reach rs Cents An
Ounce In the Coming Worlds
Adjustment

Salt Lake Herald: "Silver must
ultimately be the money of redemp-
ton. and probably the world over"
was a remark made Monday by La
fayette Holbrook. a director Of the
Grand Central Mining Company. and
one of the best known mining oper-
ators of the State. "Imay be a little
too optimistic. but | shall not be sur
prised to see silver reach 70 cents an
ounce in the worlds adjustment
which must come.
There is not enough gold in the
world and it is becoming scarcer
every year." he continued There
is ample silver to answer the require
ments Of commerce of all nations.
and the indications are that there al
ways will be. The great 6nanciers
of the East complain of the useless
trouble and expense Of forever cart
ing gold bars from one side of the
ocean to the other according to the
way the balance of trade trends.
Silver with the impress of any gov
eminent upon it will prove more
stable. 1t will remain in the country;
it will be much less liable to be carted
from country to country by the
whims of trade.
"Unquestionable there must come
a great readjustment of our world
monetary system. With the increas-
ing demand for gold in the jewelry
and allied trades, that metal will be-
come scarcer and scarcer. This con-
dition il at present augmented by
the decrease every yearin the worlds
production of the yellow metal. In
time | believe the world will be
forced to the silver standard. Silver
would require a little more space. but
it could be stored in the vaults for
emergencies the same as gold of to-
day. With its advance to the old
figures Of IS cents to 81 an ounce it
would again assume its rightful role
of a real precious metal.
Under such desirable conditions.
anyone can e what the result would
be to our minesin Utah and the other
great mineral producing States. !
expect in the very near future to see
silver advance TO such prices that our
local mines will receive a forward
impetus they have not experienced
in years"

DR.. RICHARDSON DIES
or ANTHRAX INFECTION
veterinari.n IL Fatally Stricken While
Making Investigation AT fsison

Reno Journal: DR.. T. F. Richard
son of Fallon, for several years State
Veterinarian. and recently appointed
by Governor Oddie to inv ngate a
malady among cattle which was caus-
ing much concern among owners OF
herds in Churchill County, died at
FalIon Friday night Of anthrax, with
which his left hand had become IN
fected while taking a specimen from
a COW that had died of the disease.
DR.. Richardson's hand became IN
fected about a week ago, and ne was
unable to stay the inroads Of the poi
son. A sample from the doctors al
ficted hand was sent to Prof. w. b.
Mack. of the University of Nevada,
who pronounced the specimen posi-
tive for anthrax.
DR.. Richardson died at s O'Clock
Friday night, and vas buried at
Fallon. He leaves a widow and one
son.
Ii was at first believed that the
trouble among the cattle was caused
by a poisonous plant. water hemlock.
or what is commonly called poison
parsnip, and specimens were sent by
DR.. Richardson to the University Of
Nevada. where they were analysed by
Prof. C.. A. jacobson, chief chemist.
Prof. jacobson reported that the
plant under suspicion belongs to the
Cicura or water hemlock family. but
is not poisonous. and is a species not
heretofore known or described in all
Of his researches. 1t does not con-
tain cicutoxin, the poisonous prin-
ciple Of water hemlock, and also diff
fers from water hemlock in that its
leaves are much narrower and the
characteristic rootstalk or dhizome
Of the water hemlock is entirely alb
sent.
1t is believed that DR.. Richardson
thought the trouble was due to a
poisonous plant and did not suspect
the presence of anthrax, and that he
delayed taking heroic measures on
that account when first infected.

The woRD MORATORIUM

The word moratorium" appear
ing repeatedly now in discussions of
international credit, has a simpler
meaning than its length and verbal
structure might imply. If it car
ries no meaning TO the average lay
man he need not feel chagrined.
There are bankers and brokers, we
venture to affirm, who have had
their first lessop1in its meaning Of
late. And this FOR a very simple
reason.
Only on extraordinary occasions do
States resort to a moratorium"
that Is to an emergency legislative
Act or executive decree suspending
ordinary provisions of law relative
TO payment of indebtedness. When
a government. acting for the well
fare of all its subjects and in obedi-
nee to the soundest advice it can
get. decides TO delay or rather to
postpone the date when commercial
obligations must be met according
TO customary rules of honor and of
law. it does it in conformity with a
higher law of conservation arising
from the need Of the hour, if the
structure of credit is to be upheld.
Once the exigency passes and
courts. national and international.
come to review proceedings taken
under MIGRATORY laws. they usually
are deemed valid. Arbitrary they
may be. but having a constructive
purpose and a general application
to all debtors and creditors caring
to take advantage of them. they
serve their end in the realm of high
finance" using that expression in
the best sense of that term.
