The Southeastern Tariff Association,
which controls insurance rates, is notifying
the cotton factors and warehouses Of Au-
gusta that unless the present accumulation
or cotton on the streets is removed rates will
be advanced per cent. on ali risks that
are affected. The mayor and chief Of the
fire department have often OF late renon-
strated against the abuse Of the liberty
allowed in the warehouse district of
handling cotton on the streets instead of Ia
the warehouses, but the pena ties threatened
have never been applied SO far to any one.
Now it is likely the large increase Of the
rate Of insurance will be penalty enough,
and the cotton bales will not ill up the
streets so mnch as they have done.

shotgun into the middle of his back.

There is banana famine In Atlanta and
she luscious fruit is now sold at 50 80
bunch by the wholesale. The cause of the
scarcity is not known, but is supposed to be
caused by storms which have delayed ves-
sells laden with consignments for Atlanta
merchants. The principal dealers in bananas
are the Italian fruit vendors who buy and
sell them for cash. They have almost full
control OF the retail trade and sell large
numbers OF them, frequently buying as
high as carload at a time. For months
this trade has been on a steady Increase,
and many of the smaller commission mer-
chants and produce dealers have depended
upon the profits derived from their sale to
keep up their business. One house that i'm
ports its stock of bananas has two cargoes
that are now several, days behind time.
These cargoes are brought by vessel to Sa-
vannah or New Orleans and then shipped
by rail to Atlanta. One retail dealer, who
is an Italian and has a small stand, antici-
pated the rise in prices that was made.
bought eighty-five bunohes from one house
that had the largest stock in town. He
wanted the entire stock OF $50 punches but
the Wholesale dealer refused to sell.
