PEOOs VALLEY BGErs.


From the Eddy Argus.
Alfred Musy, superintendent OF the
sugar factory works, and w. G. Ham
ilton, assistant general manager of
the irrigation company, have just
completed a tour of all the beet fields
of the valley from Roswell to Malaga.
a thorough inspection has been ac-
corded and a careful estimate OF the
probable tonnage made. The cSti-
mate of 10 1856 tons made in July by
General Manager Folabird, is con-
frmed by Mr.. Musy. who states that
the tonnage viii certainly aggregate
IS, $50 tons, and may 60 as high as 20,-
600 to $4,000, bnt the first estimate is
a very conservative statement.
For the first year this is most re.
markable showing and but confirms
the assertion that the Pecos valley is
to take rank as the foremost beet
growing section Of the world. Com
pared with the first years CT other
factories the showing is still greater
magnihed At Lehi, Utah, the first
season only 5000 tons were produced:
the second 0,0OO. When Mr.. Austin.
the agricultural superintendent Of the
Lehi factory, was here he placed The
yield Of this seacon's crop ot bcets at
$1,000 tons, and at that time he did
not see hundreds of acres just seeded,
on which the plants had not yet made
their appearance.
The Pecos valley has broken the
record for lrsk seasons.
MesSrs. Musy and Hamilton report
that some of the fields near Malaga
are simply astonishing. Fine stands
OF beets that it would be hard TO i'm
prove upon. The general average Of
the valley they state, is excellent.
The crops at Roswell, Hagcrmau,
Eddy, Florence and Malaga are all
good, and neither locality can be said
to be superior in pcrrectness OF stands
or nervousness of growth This is
certainly very gratifying.
Both the farmers and factory are to
be congratulated upon the success
which has attended their united ef-
forts this season.
The sanguine predictions which have
been made regarding the sugar indus
try and its adaptability TO the Pecos
valley has been fulfilled, and what for
time was looked upon as an expert
ment has grown into grand success

BOsToN, Mass, Deem Der 81, 1896.
The stock market last week was be-
tween ire devil and the deep sea, to use
a familiar EXPIRE sion. Foreign exchange
rates are advancing and pFesage gold ex-
ports and Cuban sympathizers in con.
,gress appear to be largely in the major
lty and threaten 10 take action on the
subject which will require the president
TO put himself on record as either in Az M
patty with the instruction in Cuba or
opposed thereto. A year ago the Ven
ezuela panic was in fullforce and in four
days time prices dropped on the average
something over seven points. Last Fri
day was another "Black Friday" in the
financial history OF the country and al
though prices did not decline to such an
extent as year ago, yet the fall was
sharp, the only thing lacking to make
the panic complete being the easy rates
which prevailed. So far the money mar
.ket has not been visibly affected by the
Cuban war scare on account OF the enor-
NOUS amount OF idle money which the
banks have ia their vaults awaiting a
market; but bankers, however, are alive
to the situation and this was evidenced
by the fact that the city OF New Bedford,
which offered for sale 100000 per
cent 3O-year water bonds last week, re.
-ceived only ten bids for the same, at least
nall dozen prominent bond firms declin-
ing TO make any offer at all, while those
who made proposals, telegraphed at the
last moment WITHDRAW wing their previous
bids and substituting bids one and a half
points lower. During the last ca mpaign,
at was almost impossible for municipal
ties to sell bonds at anything better than
A D per cent or 9 per cent basis and many
cities, which postponed bond sales for
lack OF bids until after election, have
since sold the same bonds at premiums,
yielding the investor from 81 per cent to
-}x per cent. Next month interest and
dividend disbursements throughout tt g
country will exceed 500, 900 900 which,
under ordinary conditions, would immet l.
iately seek investment and circulate in
business, but, il the war scare continues
to force itself upon the country, a large
portion Of this money will be boarded
and the stock market panic will be augu-
mented and business will be correspond
iDgly depressed. There is hope, however,
that the Cuban resolutions may not pass
the senate OF that theo may be killed in
the house. That the president will fail
co approve the resolutions almost is a
foregone conclusion; but, until the whole
matter is out OF the way and congress
adiourns, there ia apt to be an unsettled
feeling, at least, even should panic be
ayerted.
The principal topic OF discussion on the
street in copp' circles last week was the
publication OF the Butte & Boston 'reor-
ganization plan. The plan contains
some very radical ideas. which were ex-

much better for this country if the
