Mr.; Morgan Afranses for the Trans
ter of the s4o,ooo.ooo in Paris-The
Canal Outlook at Present.

Paris, By Cable.-Having wound up
the details of the big financial trans
action connected with the Panama
transfer, ]. Pierpont Morgan left Paris
Tuesday for Aix-Les-B Bains. Before his
departure he gave the correspondent OF
the Associated Press the main points OF
the final agreement as follows: The
Panama Canal Company wished to
have money turned over in Paris in
stead of in the United States, and was
willing to pay sl! the expenses incl
dent to the payment here. In order to
accomplish this the United States has
appointed the Morgan company in turn
to take a contract with the Panama
company, whereby the $40, 100000 will
be paid in Paris This contract speci-
fies the Banque de France as depos-
itory and also the proportion of the
payments going to the old and the new
Panama companies respectively. The
signing of this contract closes the
transaction, it only remaining for the
Morgan campany to carry it out by
making payments from time to time to
the Banque de France. This will be
done to cause no daarrangement
of the American or French money mar
kets.

L Regard to Agriculture. L.
| Mr.: j. W. Bauer; section director
lbf the weather bureau, has issued the
Following statement in regard to the
Iprogress of farm work during the
month of March:
aThe temperature during March was
variable, but averaged slightly above
normal. There was considerable
freezing weather in the western por.
tion, while on the coast the lowest
ipoint reached was 4 degrees above
ifreezing, with light frosts in this Sec
ton on the 10th, 18th, and 29th, and
heavy frost on the 18th. In the west.
ern counties the ffosts were generally
killing ones on those dates; with thin
ice on the 10th, 18th and 29th. How.
ever, over the western half of the
State vegetation was not far enough
advanced to be hurt; although, ID
places peaches were more or less dam
aged. The damage to the commercial
peach orchards, in. the fridge" sec
tion, was very slight.
The months precipitation was who'll
| ly in the form Of rain, that fell at fre.
quent intervals, there having been
general rains on the second, 4th, 9Th,
| 18th, 14th, 18th, 21st, and 9th. The
rains were heavy in places on the 9Th,
| Eth, 23rd and Gath. A few localities
had excessive precipitation, but as a
rule it was slightly deficient; although
the soil was kept supplied with suf;
ficient moisture for easy tillage.
Farm work made rapid advance
throughout the month In the eastern
half, and after the 18th in the western
half, especially the preparation OF
lands for corn, cotton and other staple
crops. Planting operations were con-
fined largely to the eastern and CEN
trail counties where much corn, con.
siderable rice and a little cotton were
planted, as well as the usual minor
crops and gardens. AS rule, plant.
ing operations made normal progress,
with the soil in from good to excellent
condition except in certain rice dis
| tricts and in a few western counties
where there was an excess, of precipi'
tation that delayed plowing and plant.
Ing.
"The cultivation OF tobacco is re.
ceiving less attention than last year,
but the plants in beds are yigorour,
though small for the season.
"The weather was not persistently
warm enough for the rapid growth OF
winter wheat and oats, although these
grains made marked improvement
and are in fairly good condition.
Spring oats germinated favorably and
came up to good stands.
"The truck raising districts were
favored by the weather, and early
vegetables were being marketed by
the close of the month.
Pears, plums and early blooming
varieties of peaches finished blooming
In all but the extreme northwestern
counties, where apple and cherry trees
only began to bloom during the last
decade
Pastures made slow growth and
afforded but scant grazing in the most
favored localities, and none in the
western portions"
