RICE OUTLOOK.

W. II. Hunter, secretary OF the
Hunter Canal Company, of Yer
million and part owner OF the Hun
ter Bros, rice mill at Crowley,
was a guest at the st. Charles yes
terdsy. Mr.. Hunter is one of the
best posted rice men in the State.
He looks forward to q very pros
porous season this year.
This weather, said he, in the
lobby of the ST. Charles yesterday,
"hss caused the rice growers Of
Southwest Louisiana to take q bet
ter view of life than they have
since the dismal conditions of last
season. The recent heavy rains
have done much towards improv-
ing the soil and already a few
farmers are planting. By next
week all the farmers will start
planting their seasons crop and if
they can only get some more rain
later on this will prove a banner
year to the Louisiana rice indus
try" % 90. la.'' 'i7N
Asked something about his COM
psny's canal, Mr.. Hunter said:
1--WE will water something over
10000 acres of Vermillion land
this season. We can got an unli-
mited supply of water from Yer
million river and there is no doubt
that we will be able to furnish wa
ter to all the farmers on the canal.
The Hunter canal is one of the
largest irrlgatinR canals in the
State. The Hunter Bros, rice
mill at Crowley handles the lsrg.
est part of the rice grown on it.
The mill will close it's seasons run
in almost three weeks, after hsv.
ing milled over 80, 900 barrels du.
ring the season. !, o.4a- 60 &C..

success was 10 putting up q small

assured Us that it ives useless to
start, with less than $4,000 to

out. One neighbor with FIVE ceres

tomatoes decided to 60 through

full amount of $50 in Q factory"
and about $500 in cans. The To-
cal markets were good that year,

only about 1000 cans of berries,
1000 cans of peaches. Peaches

STEEL'S NEW LOW RECORD
PREFERRED DOWN TO 6S.
Poverty of Speculative Public Gi0en
as ErplanotiOn.

Stocks Rere exceedingly weak yesterday, and
United States steel preferred made new low
rcord sinking 70 g. p. loss on the DAY or IA
points. The common stock lost a fraction from
the previous day.
with the pronounced weakness there was
considerable gain in activity the total sales
footing UP nearly $4,000 shares, and It was the
most active day on the exchange IN long
while Men closely identified with the steel
corporation declared that they could not under
stand why tho corporations securities should
SOL a. such prices but. so far as that goes. they
have been saying practically the same thing
for months. and yet prices keep on dropping.
The most reasonable explanation ~ the weak
ness advanced ia the Street yesterday appears
30 BE- tho simple fact that the speculative pub
lic - poor IL has lost 50 much money IN the
long decline in The stock market that II has no
money Tor further ventures. and. besides TINS.
~ is fifnid. Consequently there is no demand
for stocks by 'the public" and so, naturally
stocks drop in value. Just any commodity
win decline when there is no demand for IT,
The declines yesterday extended all the way
from ] TO per cent ia the active list.
