VILLA BLACK LAKE, La, May 81, 1881.
Editor ST. LANDRY DEMocRAT.-For
the past week we have had refreshing
showers in our section of country,
Vegetation is growing fast; corn is
springing up rapidly and prospects for
good crops cotton looks very promising
at present writing. Other crops grow.

in the bare hope that they will afford
your readers morsel Of interest. see
correspondent writing from Bayou
Chicot to the N. o. Times, wishing for
information on sheep raising, wool
growing, etc. | beg to say to this cor
respondent, through the DEMOCRAT,
that the first and most important object
to obtain, if he wishes to have success
with sheep, is good winter quarters, and
don't be sparing Of room, next have
Your stacks Of hay convenient. If a
large flock, keep your herdsman for
nothing else but to take care of your
sheep; see that their beds and standing
room is kept clean; keep them out Of
cold rains. Finally and last petition to
the legislature to create a heavy dog
tax, then you may expect to succeed in
the sheep business.
A new feature in sugar cane. Our
planters are fast on the eve of learning
that the time is at hand when they
must, to protect their own interest,
begin to plant the amber sugar cane or
sorghum, the fact is, our sugar planters
have delayed in introducing this cane
too long for their own good. 1t is no
longer a doubt now but amber cane
will produce sugar in paying quantities
and Of good quality. What is still a
greater advantage this cane will mature
in from seventy to ninety days, and can
he saved without danger of frost. Let
this be only hint. If l should say
more some of your readers might cry
out he's "yank.
A short creed for farmers, which !

We believe in small farms and thorough,

The new bridge on North street,
that suffered so much damage from the

of the best in the town.

The public has long since awarded to
Ayers Hair Vigor the foremost place

as much real intrinsic value as the Hop

when the stomach needs an appetizer,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

The following observations the transactions in
the financial market Saturday, together with OPEN
ing highest lowest and closing quotations, fur
nished by the banking house of H. ID. Cooke, jr Co.,
1929 street, Washington. d. c.:
We have nothing of interest TO record concerning
Saturdays market in fact the entire past week s
market Prices have varied very insignifcantly,
there having been news to decided move in
either direction. The range of fluctuations has been
very limited with few exceptions being barely enough
10 cover commissions, and the trading has been e-
tremey light and Insignificant. The opinion in Wall
street is that, reckoning from basis of intrinsic
merits, prices entirely too hgh at the same time
there is such an enormous short" interest extant
that the slightest favorable would scare the null
ttudinOus class of. shorts and cause them to cover
their interests In this case the bulls would take
advantage of the necessity of the covering shorts and
make them pay high for their stocks going Ions"
themselves TO take advantage of the rise For this
operators must be very careful how they sell
short The market is undoubtedly too high intrinsic
ally but il is OveTsOd that it is difficult to borrow
any stock, and il that the next important move
Change must be the buying of stocks by the par
Ties who are at present Short This must not be re-
gsrded prediction of ultimate higher prices We
would merely notify traders that it is prudent to
sell stocks with many people that side of the
market. The list on Saturday night shows an ad-

A reporter spent an afternoon near the
general delivery window at the post-ofhce. The
chinese callers for letters were very few. The first

Oueue wrapped around his head. He edged up to
the window and said:
Me wantee lettee."
The mail matter was looked over, but the clerk
not finding unexpected letter, the Chinaman, with
a disappointed air, walked away The next China
man came in company with large Irish woman.
She stepped up to the window, followed by the
Chinaman, and asked:
Is there any letthers for Tim Cullins?"
The clerk ran over the letters, and said there was
none.
Where would you expect letter from" he
asked.
"'Twould be a Chinese letther," she replied.
ats for me husband, Tim CullIns. Tim, step up
here and tell this gintleman ye wants d letther."
The Chinaman obeyed meekly.
