Once upon time, as the story runs +,
a man owned IA parrot which, try ap
he would, he could never teach it to
say anything except, 'There is no
doubt about it,
The gentleman took the parrot t.
the fair one day to see if he could
sell it.
Who'll buy my parrot? Only ten
dollars -
A gentleman passing stopped and
then asked,
"Poll are you worth it ?'
There s no doubt about it, an.
swered Poll.
He was very much pleased with
the bird and bougl tit, and one day,
after he found out his mistake, he was
standing near the cage, and he said
aloud to himself,
"What fool WAS to give ten dol.
lars for that bird.
"There is no doubt about it - sung
out the bird.

A review of the foreign commerce Of
the five ports, Baltimore, New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and New Orleans,
from 1856 to 1880, inclusive, by Mr.
Nimmo, of the Bureau of Statistics, is
of interest as showing the extent to
which each Of these cities has been able
to hold its own percentage Of the export
and import business of the country.
This is indicated by the record of the
tonnage, domestic and foreign, engaged
in the foreign trade for the period named.
In 1856 the total TONNAGE of the five
cities was 1858, 1902, of which New
York's share was so Is per cent; Balti.
more's, 4 81; Philadelpbia's, 5.17; Bos
tons, 20 "a, and that of New Orleans
1917 Twenty four years later. in 1880,
Boston and New Orleans have fallen to
the rear, and New York. Baltimore and
Philadelphia have advanced in per
centage rank. In the year just men
toned, out of total tonnage Of II, 613,
6G4 for the five ports New York engross-
ed 6O34 per cent; Baltimore 1892;
Philadelphia, HOB, while Boston had to
content herself with 1908 per cent, and
New Orleans with COB.

Georgia Bonds and New York Saw
fuOs Ranks

State Bank Superintendent Hepburn,
Of New York, has rendered lengthy
decision on the question as to the legality
Of investments of New York Savings
Banks in Georgia State bonds. He takes
the ground that, as Georgia ''repudiated"
a portion of her debt in 1877, under the
law of New York that State must have
an unclouded financial record for ten
years to render its securities proper invest
ment for savings banks, the bonds OF the
State of Georgia are not an authorized
investment for such banks.
This decision of State Bank Superin-
tendent Hepburn shows woful ignorance
concerning the financial history Of GeOr-
gia on the part of that official, The
question of the legality of the issue and
binding obligations on the State Of Geor-
gia of those bonds alleged to be repu-
dated, has been, time and time again,
deliberately and extensively discussed,
and even so high and honorable a body
as the constitutional convention of the
State, after mature deliberation, de
cided that they were illegal, null
and void Therefore they were no
bonds at all, but simply pieces Of
worthless paper printed at the instance
of Bullock, and without any authority
of law. If Mr.. Hepburn's friends then
were willing to lend their money to Mr..
Bullock and his coparceners upon the
security of these pieces of paper, the
risk was theirs, and to Bullock alone
should they look for payment. 1t is just
as absurd for Mr.. Hepburn TO hold the
State liable for them as it would be for
him to issue a personal bond, sell it to
citizens of Georgia as a New York
security, and then expect New York to
father it.
If Mr. Hepburn hoped by his course
to reflect dis credit upon Georgia securi-
ties and bring the bonds of the State
into disrepute, he has been signallY dis
appointed. his decision was IehueIeI
on the Sth or 9th inst. In the New
York C0mmercial Bulletin, however,
we still see Georgia Is quoted at 1O8,
Georgia Is at 100, and Georgia Is, guar
anteed quarterly, at is. So it seems that
Wall street and the world at large
still regard Georgia's credit as high,
Georgia obligations as gilt edged
investments, and are willing to pay good
premiums therefor. For the sake of the
savings bank depositors in New York,
therefore, Mr.. Hepburn had better re
consider his decision or the first thing
we know some such bank will be re-
ported as having gone into bankruptcy
because Of having its capital all invested
| in second class and unreliable securities.

Commercial Phenomena
Baltimore Sun.

A commercial phenomenon of the first
significance is the shipping of corn to
Kansas and Southern Illinois from Gin.
cinnati and other cities where grain is
accumulated. The shipments. as stated
in the correspondence of the New York
World, are mostly for seed, and the large
quantities called for indicate extensive
planting. For some time past corn has
been going out from Cincinnati to the
surrounding country for use as seed and
as feed for stock. Such facts of course
tend to show that the supply held in the
hands of farmers is well nigh exhausted.
The Sun showed some time ago by sta
tistics drawn from the Agricultural De
partment that the supply of which
dealers in grain, both corn and
wheat, were cognizant is much less
now by many millions of bushels
than it was at this time last year. The
higher prices which have prevailed are
doubtless based in part on the diminished
supply. 1t is we'll known that for some
time we have been importing various
food products from Europe instead of
exporting. We have, then, at present,
this remarkable phenomenOn-a reversal
of the direction of the flow of food. from
foreign countries to the United States,
and in the United States from the cities
to the country. 1t is not true that this
reversal is general or affects very large
volume of grain and other food products
But its existence, taken in connection
with strikes and other labor troubles so
prevalent in the commercially active Sec
ton of the Union, may fairly be viewed
as ground for caution in entering upon
enterprises whose completion and profits
lie in the remote future.
