The weather this week has been a


mixture of hot and cold without any
rainfall thus far: unusually favorable
for levee work, which has been pushed
ahead with vigor all along the line in
our parish. Cotton picking is not
worth mentioning several of our
planter friends have come in and told
us, that there Is no top crop to gather.
They find numerous stalks with as
many as twenty or thirty well grown
bolls frozen hard HAT will produce no
staple. We have been telling of the
short crop every week, but never inn
agined that it would be so misera-
bly, short as it now turus out TO be-

Our RIVER Reporter has favored us
with the following facts for this week :
Cotton and cotton seed shipments
from Purdy's Providence landing for
1891 up to December LIST, were, cotton
bales $3.50, cotton seed 17,421 sacks.
Up to December 1st, 1892, 972 bales
aud 900 sacks Of cotton seed. Short
age in cotton bales thus far / $40 bales.
Shortage in cotton seed sacks, 10,421.
This is fair and true method of COM
pairing the crops ofboth years, because
Mr.. Purdy's business this year as far
as his patrons is concerned, has not
diminished any in any way whatever
except the short crop, aud seeing there
is such shrinkage at one landing only,
what must it be all along the line.
The City of Kansas passed up loaded
with sugar and molasses. One item
was 1000 barrels of pecans, taken on
board after leaving New Orleans.
The Joe Peters from Memphis, was
on time again this week, down Mon
day and up Tuesday. She had 100
bales of cotton for the Bluff City going
back. By the way, we learn that
Memphis is competing with New Or
leans for cotton seed and the figures
now are $3.50 per ton. Bully forthe
short cropist.
The Leathers had good up trip,
leaving here going down, with S4S
bales of cotton and 217 sax of seed; 1874
bales were taken on board here. The
Commodore I. p. feathers was on board
this trip, and we did'at know it!

Stole a Trunk.

The residence of Chas. Spania, on
San Luis street, was burglarized last
night, in q very bold manner. Mr..
Spania and wife had left in the eve-
ming to pay visit to his mother and
had left young man at the house to
guard IL. There was dance in the
neigh borhood and the young man
went over several times and had q
dance with the girls During one of
his trips over he stayed longer than
usual, and on his return found a chair
on the gallery by an open window.
He yelled for help and soon the peo-
ple from the wedding came
over, lights were brought and
a search was made. They found that
q very large and heavy trunk had
been removed. Officer Perez came up
and thought he would search a vacant
lot opposite the house, and there saw
a man, who ran off. The officer fired
some shots at him, but did not stop
him. The trunk was found, unopened,
but the lock tempered with. In the
trunk was some money, about 500,
and other valuables. There must
have been two burglars, and even
then, they had q good load to move
the heavy trunk.
