The rain WILL of course. be OF some

Cuban planters have lately intimated

shipment February, but no
business is reported to have resulted
and the planters are now inclined to
await further developments before they
offer the crop in large way.
Latest reports of the new Cuba crop
are favorable, but the paintings We're
not much larger than those of last year
and there is no reason to expect a
heavy increase in the size of the crop,
| unless weather conditions favor an un-
usually long grinding season. The good
prices obtained this year have i'm
proved the finances of the planters and
they are now very actively engaged in
making extensive repairs of machin-
cry; also improving and enlarging their
factories. one or two new factories are
planned. but none are actually building
at present.
Louisiana.-The weather in Louisiana
during the past week has been hot and
sunshiny, with cessation of the heavy
rains of the previous week. These con-
ditions are exceedingly favorable for
sugar cane growth and reports from all
sections of the cane belt of the state
show that the crop is making excep-
tlonal progress. Warm weather, with
an occasional shower, is needed for a
rev weeks longer, followed by cool and
dry conditions which will be ideal for
increasing the sugar content. The pros
poets Tor the crop at present are so
favorable that many are predicting n
larger crop than any yet produced in
Louisiana and the tonnage at present
seems to bear this out but it must be
remembered that a warm September
and too much rain might diminish the
saccharine strength of the canes and
an early freeze might make it impos-
slble to save all of the crop.

grizzlies that had the gizzard to tackle

tear their teeth out of their Jaws with
his naked hands.
Then Jim constituted himself a sort
OF battery of light artillery parked at
lhe mead OF the street for he took up
ms position on a sandmound and swept
the thoroughfare with both of his guns
every time he saw careless or un-
suspecting man emerge for a groggery.

about half an hour from his coign of

We're seen by some of us sitting in the

the roof and overlooking Jim's mound
