It u clear that this was due in large 4 ' part to sening to take y proBta i by :J bolder who had bought Jn anticipation C of more favorable condition , la af- . fairs and "who sa : evidence of lm-- f provement which they considered --v,. made favorable - opportunity for .' - realising on their holding.

Some of the week' event were untoward, ; also and' helped to hamper the efforts to realize. The definite reactionary tendency" of the , ' market stimulated the exertions of the bear party- and the! rattack on ;' values were an important factor In forcing; prices downwards, while their , occasional purchases to cover short and take 'proB ts served check to - the. fall from time t time. 'The' de dining tendency, of price of securities had the eeJIect a It unfailingly does, :,. of tincurlng the views in the finan- . clal district over the prospect of af ... , fair and gave rise to some surmises . fof fresh coming reaction beyond the precinct .of.

Technical condition in the cereal markets aided in this result., the operations of a cor ' ner In -both corn and wheat magnify. mg tn price movement In these com . module and giving more force U re -' ports of crop damage. Destructive floods in the South western ' States early in the week i formed the foundation for some of ; these reports and the government : weatner, report confirmed the appre .heneion of some ground for anxiety. Authorities in the grain trades, how. ever, allawed less force to the appreT henslons than eemed to be reflected In the crop prospect, . , ' INFLOW 6V MONET. , In the financial situation the prop' er there . came Into view again the mlxed conditlona due fc the cheapen ring of money supplies and the lm X proved faculties . for borrower, and j the obstacles of impaired credit to the . desire of some of the borrowers. The causes of the continued lnflo "wof money into tanking reserves and the impaired credit of inchoate corpora , on enterprises nnd their, same : source ' in. the contraction . and de ' presslon whlqh were the after effects of the financial crisis. Th iniina ' tlons of the latter part of the week that - there remained some wreckage f; to be cleared away from the financial i fabric In the adjustment of these balancing force to make way for It free resumption of healthful functions i was not relished In the financial die trlct. - v , ger movement Nor is this ali. - The question is largely one of State Juris diction, and Massachusetts already na maner well unaer consiaera tion; so that this cver-iealous action on the part of the government la like ly to confuse and delay, rather than to accelerate a Just solution of the problem. The announcement of the 1300,000,000 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy loan caused the "Street" to pause somewhat; for while only $16, 000,000 were Issued ', for immediate purposes there wa much conjecture a to what was the ultimate purpose In authorizing so huge a loan. . the biggest railroad bond issue on record. A very large portion of thi issue wa Intended for refunding purposes. Nevertheless, there is a big remainder of considerably over $100,000,000, the use of which Is open to surmise. This place the road in a '"position to Com mand a large amount of capital ror development, and to place the ' Hill line in' a position for meeting r tne competition of the Harriman Trans- Atlantio system . operating in the South. Of course, this new capital 1 required for development of road running to the North. Pacific coast and show an encouraging degree of confi dence on the part of our great rail road manager in the future of that rich rd Undeveloped section. . ' v Another element of disturbance was the uncertainty as to what Congress would do on the currency ,' question until the Aldrich-Vreeiand compro mise bill was passed on Wednesday. Congress seem likely to please no body but itself. Thoee who wish cur rency reform &n sound, sclentiao and well-established lines, will, of uourse, be much discouraged; and those who wished simply an emergency bill to protect the money market from man ipulation until some legtslatlou could be obtained were ..temporarily olacon- certed by a week of uncertainty and vacillation. All of these event tend ed to discourage speculation on the long aide andjto stimulate the taking of profit. 7 It 1 worthy of note, how ever, that a the market declined ac tivity diminished. . The outlook in the money market Is for continued ease. Bank reserves are extraordinarily heavy, gold ex port pas unnoticed, and all eigne point to a plethora of' Idle fund for om months to come. ' Even tne prospective crop demands, and large government withdrawals, wnicn wui soon toe forthcoming, give no concern. Of course thi unusual ease In money ha an Inflationary effect upon stock exchange values. Nevertheless, bank ers discriminate closely . in making toana and. new enterprise have to be exceptionally sound and attractive to command financial aupport in thi community, . Genera! business continues very quiet. The turn for the better, noticed two week ago, has become slightly more positive: and the tend ency Is certainly towarf improve ment; the Iron trad and the cotton good industry leading in this respect. There 1 also a much more hopeful feeling prevailing elsewhere than at any time since the panic, it would be unreasonable, however, to expect too much; and real recuperation win no doubt be a matter of slow growth. Something will depend upon the po litical outlook which steedlly improve.!-but more upon the harvest, the 'outlook for which must involve more on less uncertainty. Both cot ton and wheat are likely to show some depreciation in condition this month, owing to the exeeealve rains and low temperature. But the ma jority of the crops have had u good start this year and the outlook I en couraging, for experience, shows that we always have one or two. If not three months, of deterioration after favorable spring. . The railroad sit uation seems to have reached Its worst. The. number of Idle car has begun to diminish, and trafllo In June ought to Show signs of recuperation. Earn nars for April and May were very 'discouraging, showing a loss of 19 to 20 per cent in tne west a hooeful feeling Is prevalent, aepres- ston continuing keenest in the pastern Industrial and financial centres. The market would undoubtedly be Improved by an additional decline. Hresh buying would follow, and ac tivity would be restored. - The general financial situation l sound, ana ai tar the llauidatton of the past six months no serious reaction should be anticipated. A good trading market 1 therefore possible. 20 40-Inch Petted Cards i:-ri'.-::iuV0 Eeyi. Top Flats.

Probably no great harm has befallen any of the ; crowing crop, .but recovery -from present - business depression Is so s closely dependent upon a good harvest that -the. security markets ar. and will be. during the coming summer, particularly sensitive to crop new. ! pooa harvest would be nothing less ran disastrous .to the whole country; ''"in fact we need not merely on good ' harvest, but additional bountiful ones to infuse fresh life Into "business, and to give us a moderate surplus of agri cultural product that would aid in bringlns; down the present high cost .'of food.

Special to The Observer, Yorkvllle, B. C, May 11. The town council hias approved an ordinance which provides, that a mayor a.nd six aldermen,' a commissioner of publlo works and two school trustees shall be elected Tuesday, June Ith. 80 far no aspirant for any of the positions have been announced except that of mayor, to which position the oncum bent. Mr. John R. Hart, asks to b re-elected. - Mr. Hart has held the po sition for the past two year and ha discharged It dutle acceptably. Agricultural conditions . throughout this section just now seem to be Ideal. Crops of all kinds are in a flourishing condition and the weather has been specially favorable for several days for their proper growth and cultiva tion, and tho farmers who have on hand all or a part of their last year's cotton crop are especially pleased In view of the constantly Increasing val ue of th latter and ' the promising condition of the former. Little or no cotton Is being offered for sale at this time, notwithstanding the material advance in the price. While comparatively few candidates have a yet made their formal an nouncements, still It is safe to predict that the crop this year win be as large or larger than for (several years past. Judging by the marked change in the attitude of numerous individuals to ward thalrellow-cltlsena recently. ' Th contractor -who Has undertaken to install a sewerage system here Is experiencing much difficulty in secur ing tho desired number of laborer. He has offered fl a day, but tho would-be laborers; a a rule, ar In sisting on 11.21 and many of them re fuse to work for lees Th contractor. It is, said, claims that he has under taken the job at a much, lower price than any he ha executed in some time and that his bid was based on the statement made to him by several local Cltlxens to the effect that he could employ all the laborer he would re quire at from 49 to 75 cent a day. Th ordinary day laborer here, for several months has been demanding and re- celvlng tl a day for light work and ft i not likely that many of them wilt undertake th heavy work demanded in excavating for the same price or ie. , - ... : - It I doubtful if any town In the Stats has a more effective civic league than Yorkvllle.
