The failures during the past week were 107 , against 199 for the same week last year. This is a change from the recent tendency in these failures , which for some weeks had been showing an increase over 1899. The bank clearings of the country last week fell behind those of 1899 by 7.4 per cent , which is not a serious decrease. Conditions in California continue flat tering. The outlook here is better than in most of the Eastern States. We are reaping the benefits of the advance in wheat and the minor cereals and of the remarkable demand for our fruit , which is enabling us to dispose of a very abun dant crop at much better figures than we expected a few weeks ago. Indeed , the demand for fruit this year breaks the record. In spite of the heaviness of the crop it is actually scarce here and there , and the canners are finding it necessary to advance their prices from time to time to obtain supplies. The shipments of deciduous fruit eastward thus far this year amount to 725 cars , against G85 during the same time in 1899 , and the record of citrus fruit ship ments up to the 19th inst. was 16,232 cars , which is said to be in excess of all previous years.

No other public man has had so much practice as an au tocrat , and no.other is sufficiently im bued with intense and complacent ego tism to , without a blush or a single misgiving , undertake the job of being emperor of the Americans , Porto Bicans and Filipinos. It is said that the German-born citi zens of the United States will be induced to vote for dishonest money and the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 in 1900 , by disguising the monetary' issue as a bogy of militarism. In fact , all foreign born voters are to be coerced into Bryanarchy by scaring them with monarchy. But it is difficult to distinguish the differ ence between the one-man power of monarchy in Germany and the one-man power of Bryanarchy in the Kansas City convention.
