The market for coffee futures opened
steady, unchanged to points on con-
tinued demand, encouraged by firm Euro
pean cables and small primary receipts.
Trading was active and while there
was scattering liquidation in the ad-
vance the market during the first hour
ruled very firm, scoring a gain of about
5q1O points. Later, however, the pressure
to liquidate became more active, and the
market towards the close lost most OF
the Improvement, closing barely steady al
net unchanged prices to an advance OF
only five points. Sales 137,750 bags. De-

Lovemar & Co.'s Market Letter.
After fuctuating within a range OF
about half cent for future contracts
March 553 to 8.01. the market finally
closed the week with values showing
some little recovery from the lowest
level attained last Monday. The steadier
tone of the market was due to shorts
covering for fear that farmers would
put into execution their threat of refus-
Ing to sell or market their cotton al
the present level OF prices. Longs have
been so badly whipped this season that
the market is deprived of their support
usually offered the producer In maintain
ing values. On the other hand shorts
have been in clover and have the sinews
of war In the shape of large profits and
an official estimate for a crop of at least
10000 bales in excess of the worlds re-
quirements. Therefore the spot holders
of the south are obliged to do battle I'M
assisted, except that assistance which is
promised them by southern banks and
bankers. 1t Is absolutely necessary that
they should arrive at some conclusion
whereby they may agree upon some plan
to withhold the remainder of their crop
from the market. There is to be held
at Shreveport. La. next Monday con-
vention Of cotton growers, which Will
also be attended by government officials
with the object of devising some means
of destroying the boil weevfl. Advan-
tage will be taken of this large gather
ing of planters to unite them I'm a move
ment looking to the marketing of the
remainder Of their crop slowly. and
much good may come of this project II
carried out. The small takings by spin
ners the past weel-3l0000, against 405.-
900 last year-was a Encouraging feature,
Liverpool closing at a decline of points
when she was due to be unchanged
American markets. however, stood the
blow very well.

"The Police jury finds itself
"short" of funds to meet the ex-
penses of this year. The publish
ing of the back tax sale and the
assessors fees on the same, for in
stance, are payments they cannot
make, giving as reason that no
money was appropriated for that.
But was it not their duty to consi-
der those expenses and make ap-
preparation for them when they
made the budget of 1904? They
did not "forget" to make an ap-
preparation for the roads. but, just
the same, from all over the Parish
come walls of lament over the fear
full condition of the roads and
bridges, and the answer is mo
money!. The wise. and economic
expenditure of the public money is
expected of the Police Jury, but
that does not mean that they are
to make bob tail budget and fix
the tax rate too low to get money
enough to pay all of the Parish's
debts, as they did this year. Ju-
dicious financiering should 20
hand in hand with Police Jury's
wise enactment of laws. Valley

This Police Jury will never have
enough money to run the parish,
simply because they don't know
how. They are like babies with
nickels, the more you give them
the more they will spend, and fool
ishly too.

Dear Sir: Lead-and-oil is not good
paint; don't wear; the rule is, as
everyone knows, repaint in three
years.
Devoe lasts six, in the same way
allow wide margin in all such
statements. What does it mean,
to last? 1t means the, same with
both.
As to covering: that's another.
Here's an instance.
Mr. j j Hall, Sheffield. Pa. pain
ted two houses. lead-and-oil; took
40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons
Devoe for the same two houses;
returned 10 gallons.
The paint, that covers, lasts; it's
all paint, true paint, and fulI-mes-
sure. Lead-and-oil is all paint but
not good paint; the lead wants zinc.
Better paint Devoe.
Yours truly

Corporal Punishment.

LIE I'aSI WEEK ouI o"p ItiSu
School and the Lafayette High |
School were the cause of a great
deal of talk upon this all impor-
tant matter of corporal punish
ment at the schools, private as
well as public.
The whipping of one boy and
the attempt to whip another, who
ran away before submitting to this
humiliating mode of punishment
was the cause of the comments.
Some are Of opinion that whip
ping is necessary at all schools,
others are entirely opposed to such
punishment that they would not
themselves inhict upon their own
children. and the unfortunate al
tercation, between Mr.. Albert De-
lahoussaye, of Lafayette, whom We
all know to be gentleman, in the
foil sense of the term; and we think
the same of Prof. Avery whom we
do not know, but the simple fact
of him being employed as princi-
pal of that school, satisfies us that
the Professor il a gentleman, and
the correction or punishment in
flicted upon the boy that was the
cause of the trouble, was thought
necessary for the deciplIne of the
school and obedience to the rules,
but at the same time we must con-
slider how grieved, how panied and
shocked was the father, and bis
feelings of deep Indignation was
the cause Of the alteration; under
such circumstances we can blame
neither of them, one was follow
ing the rules of his school, the
other the dictate of his humilia-
ted feelings.
In the case here at our own
High School, we could not get at
the real cause for the whipping,
but we must believe that there
was good cause for the correcti on
but we must raise our object to
corporal punishment.
We have boys of fifteen to eigh-
teen years of age and also young
ladies of the same age, and when
boys and girls of that age are SUBJ
jected to such punishment, il
proves humiliating to them and to
their parents. we are of opinion
that boys and girls who have at.
tanned a certain age, should be
treated as ladies and gentlemen
and their sense of duty and homo,
should be appealed to, instead Of
being subjected to bumiliatine
punishment, and when such ap'
peal is made in vain, we believe il
is best to send them back to theil
parents, this will, We are sure, be
. more satisfactory even to the
teachers, because we are sure thai
our teachers themselves inflic
such punishment only as last re-
sort to maintain the ord or and de
cipline of their school.
The principle of whipping, W,
believe is wrong; expulsion or sus
pension from the school, we art
sure would have better result, al
it would leave the duty of punish.
ment upon the parents, and no
upon the teachers.
