the exposition, it was cited by Presi;
dent Moore that the cor cessionaTies
had done at least $50, 900 900 worth Of
business up to the close of October
and that the majority Of them had
made arrangements for the closing
out of their business. He said also
that this business had affected almost
every branch of commerce, and that
there had been established almost a
half hundred industries in San Fran
cisco which win remain here perma.
mently.
Impossible To Continue !
1t is pointed out that the San Fran.
cisco Chamber of Commerce alone
had succeeded in establishing more
than fifty new industries in San Fran
cisco in the last nine months, all Of
which were prepared to 90 into bust
ness just as soon as the exposition
closed its gates.
The positive declaration of Presi-
dent Moore came as the result of IN
quiries received from all parts of the
United States, particularly from the
large commercial organizations which
had heard rumOrs that the exposition
would remain open after the date set
for closing. The impossibility Of this
! is cited by the exposition officials in
the following statement: o..
1.-THE biggest exhibitors who will
realize fortunes as the result of their
exhibits at the fair have made ar
rangements to close on schedule time.
They have taken bona fide orders for
millions of dollars worth of goods to
be delivered at the close of the ex.
position aud the greater part of this
is included in their exhibits. II would
he impossible for them to continue
their exhibits and still ill the orders
that have been taken. 1t was the
original intention to make the expOsi,
ton a commercial success and this has
been accomplished. There is also (
be taken into consideration the foreign
exhibitors who have been under great
expense and can not stay longer than
the first week in December. As a mat.
ter of fact some of these have made
arrangements to move their exhibits Ia
the South American exposition to open
after the first sc the year and the
hiPments are already under way"
