SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-There is
a better tone noticeable in the
country trade along the Pacific
coast although business in the
rural communities is still far from
normal and both bank balances
and loans there are at low ebb
In the cities bankers and CONNER
cial men are optimistic. They fee!
that there has been too much talk
of depression and hard times and
that this in itself has been a de-
pressing factor.
Julius Krutchnett, chairman VI
the board of the Southern Pacific
railroad, who has just made a trip
of inspection over the lines; said
today he found business on the up
grade practically everywhere and
particularly in Texas, Arizona and
California.
The activity in real estate here
has seldom been surpassed. Real

Boston, Mass, Feb. 6.-The tex
tile industry in New England
seems to be at rathe ra critical
point. The owners Of the mills
seems to be at rather a critical
the wheels turning at full speed as
! long as possible. The cotton mills
are finding it increasingly difficult
to meet competition of the south
ern mills. The reduction in wages
in Connecticut and Rhode Island
cotton mills has been followed by
similar action in the mills of New
HamrAhire and Maine and employ
ers and buyers are waiting the re-
suit of vote by the operatives in
Northern New England as -
whether they will accept the re-
duction when it becomes effective
Feb. Is.
1t is becoming increasingly evi-
dent that those companies which
will secure the business in 1922
are the ones which can cut their
costs to the bone and sell on a
close margin of profit The recent
price announcements of the leading
wooden and cotton manufacturer
indicates recognition of this fact
The business situation as a
whole seems to be improving
slowly. The railroads are carrying
slightly more goods, unemploy
men is slowly decreasing and the
manufacturing output is somewhat
larger. Sentiment in business and
banking circles is conservatively
cheerful. 1t is believed that with
in a month when the impetus of the
spring buying begins to be felt
business will be considerably i'm

Champion and Charles York, for free
holder for the three year term, was
one of the closest fights of the cleo
ton. Until Ocean City came in York
had a good majority and things were
very uncertain. The returns from
Ocean City gave Champion such a big
lead that he won out, however. Wild
wood, 1st ward, always a strong Re
publican camp, gave York a majority
of Is votes as the table will show.
Assemblyman Robert Kay won the
freeholder 2-year Office easily, and
Charles Foster, the present director
of the large board, won the one-year
term by defeating his opponent,
Luther Garretson.
In the local officials elected, Wild

The results of Tuesdays general
election were surprising to say the
least, and these surprises existed not
only in Cape May County but through
out the entire country. Though the
county went Republican in every Of
flee except that of coroner, there were
a great many Democratic votes cast.
Split tickets were the rule, it seemed,
and this rule was followed on nearly
every ballot in some way.
A glance at the above table will
show the results of the votes in the
various districts and the majority re-
ceived by the winning candidates.
Frelinghuysen won out against Gov
ernor Edwards in the county, but Ed

he crew deserted when they were not
paid. Captain Elwell became sick and
Captain Lothigius took command. He
worried about his vessel and made 81
efforts TO get a hottomry bond that
would clear the vessel of the debts
that hung over her from local firms
and the shippers whose cargo had not
been delivered in San Francisco. in
this he was unsuccessful and he, too.
became sick. He went TO the hospital
with pneumonia and came out to find
that he and his first officer were the
only ones of the ships company left
and that his vessel was apparently
lied up forever.
The present status of the vessel is
most uncertain. In the United States n
mortgage hangs oyer her. Other heavy
debts that increase day by day burden
her. No shipper will take a chance to
load her for the United States, as yes
sci and cargo would be attached tbs
instant she touched the homeland. She
is too large a vessel for interisland
trade. If, however, Philippine registry
could be obtained she could doubtless
be used as a cargo carrier to the Far
East, and in that manner make SUI
ticient money to clear off the cloud of
debt that hangs over her at the pres
ent time.
She cannot be purchased outright,
come involved in i'll luck like hers, and
it does not seem possible to give her a
clear title, according to local shipping
men. And until she is so cleared she
cannot sail. Local firms are angling
for her purchase, bnt it all seems in
the dim future. And in the meantime
two lonely meE who have not received
a cent of pay in months spend their
time trying to keep their big vessel
shipshape until such time as she may
once more spread her snowy nvas in
another effort to get back home.
The Monongahela is a four-masted
bark of 2,546 net tons, built in Glas-
gov in 1892. She sailed under a Brit
ish charter for many years and was
then sold to German owners. When
the United States entered the war the
vessel was lying at Portland, Ore, and
was taken over by the shipping board.
Under their direction she made two
voyages to Honolulu and return with
an American crew before she started
on her last Inflated trip.
