It was the first good news the Southern
farmer has had for weeks. The deprss-
sion in the price of the staple had been
so marked and so long that it looked as
though there would never be a turning
point. We had hoped that it would stop
at five cents, but it dropped below that
figure, and with the continued estimates
of a big yield, the promise was that II
would 60 still lower.
In spite of these estimates and OF hea'

Cotton in the seed has been
going down gradually until today
it has reached S12 per thousand
pounds with a tendency to go
down to SO. Many of our PLAN
ters refused to sell when the price
was SIT, because they expected
the market to go up, but instead
of doing that it has been going
down ever since.
We were told this week that
very little of the cotton crop of
the upper part of the parish has
been sold. We believe little of
the crop made in this neighbor-
hood has been put on the market,
which is a mistake on the part of
the planter. He should have sold
as fast as picked.
Some of our planters are OF
the opinion that the cane which is
now standing, has been seriously
touched by the freeze of Monday
morning, and some fear is enter
tanned that it is not good fol
plant, though some planters are

New Orleans as a Market.

Our people OIten complain oi
the treatment they receive from
the New Orleans Commission
Merchants. Several. times We
thought perhaps they were grum-
blers and could not be satisfied,
but of late we have the proof
that they have reason to complain.
Sometime ago person from
this town sent some 1000 pounds
of hides to New Orleans, weigh
ing the hides the day of shipment,
two or three days after the bill OF
sale came with shortage of some
400 pounds; is this possible?
Last week another of our citi-
zens shippedtwo lots of rice coming
from the same field picked up at
the same time and thrashed in
the same machine, but shipped in
two lots to two different mer-
chants, one sold the rice at 1919
and the other at 1915, a differ
ence of 81 on every sack, why is
this difference in the same market
almost the same day. Is there
NOT oropnd for complaint?
But the following from the
Crowley Signal beats our own re-
cord:
One Of our mercantile firms met
with an experience in shipping
rice recently that hasn't tended to
improve their opinion of the rice
men of New Orleans. In a lot OF
rice shipped by Stage Bros was
q small lot of Japan. When the
consignment was placed on the
market the best bid that was then
made was Sl.OO per bag for the
Japan. Knowing that the rice
was of good quality MIR. Stage de-
clined the offer and submitted &
sample to Mr.. Russell, who was
here at the time buying rice fol
the Lake Charles rice mill, MIR
. Russell Immediately offered S3.W
per barrel for the rice delivered
at Crowley. 1t is needless to stat
that the rice was ordered reshippet
from New Orleans and that IL
due course of time it was RELOADED
at this point in a car consigned q
the Lake Charles mill. The &C
