MUCH DAMAGE DONE ID GROWING CROPS Peach Shipments Are Moving
 Briskly BANKS GOOD SHOWING Planters Around Cuba Are Enjoying Great osperity-RaIroad Busi-
 ness Shows Good Increase
 Over Last Year.
BANKS GOOD SHOWING

Cuba, June 16-(Special.)- )-Reports con tinue to come in of much crop damage done by a heavy wind and ram storm Sun day night Old corn was blown down and much cotton in the lowlands flooded and washed up. The greatest damage, how ever appears to have been done the peach orchards. H. B. Ward, who has nice orchard of Elbertas, states that a lot Of the fruit was blown from the trees and some of the latter broken. w. U. Shaw also suffered much loss in his orchard of ee00 trees.
 Shipments of peaches have been going forward by express for some days with fairly satisfactory returns to the growers, in spite of the exceptionally high express rates prevailing. It costs the grower 50 cents to ship a crate of peaches to Gin cinnati. as against 55 cents that the Geor- gia shippers have to pay. It appears that the express company is willing to put this section on a competitive basis, but that the interstate law requires rates to be published for 30 days and that it will not be possible to make the rates effective under that time.
 Shippers are now arranging to let the Elbertas go in car lots, but there the in- terstate commerce law comes in again. and the general freight agent has advised several growers that he will endeaVor to put in the rates to equalze Georgia and ask the commission to ratify, which it is hoped can be done
 Shippers state that, given a rate that will permit of competition with Georgia, they will harvest the entire crop, which 1t is hopd will total 10 cars. but that if the present rates cannot be reduced they will have to let them go. Active efforts are being made to get a prompt adjustment.
 A recent statement issued by the Bank of Cuba shows a most satisfactory con- diton of affairs, with deposits showing gain of goodly proportions over last year. in spite of the poor showing the truck crop has made, which will this year total about S50000, as against 900 last year. The bank has on hand in cash about SO per cent of its deposits. It rode through the panic without putting on limit, and the present officers say that they ws- profit by last seasons experience and have the cash on hand to take care of all the cotton offered when the season opens.
 The amount of business done by the To- cal railroad office is much in excess of last season. A shipper who keeps close tab on the situation stated to the writer that he believed the amount of business done here by the railroad would be in ex- cess of $4,000, as compared with last May.
 A very successful meeting of several days was terminated at tke Baptist church last evening with about 25 access sons to the church. The services were conducted by the Rev. w. J. Ray of Montgomery.
