Another Dry Parish.

Another parish, Vermillion, has
Joined the dry" column. The con-
test was a mild one. free from the ex-
element and sensationalism of the
Acadia and St. Landry campaign.
There was no outside interference in
it, either from the Anti-liquor League
or the several pro-saloon organiza-
tons which have made previous CAM
paigns lively. the question being left
to the voters of the parish to decide
for themselves. AS consequence, q
somewhat light vote was polled, with
the usual result, the towns of Able
vile, Guevdan and La Sale going
wet" the rural districts "dry." AS
the latter have majority of the votes
they have carried the parish.
The prohibition movement has
spread rapidly in Southwest Louisi-
ana within the last few months. The
secession of the neighboring parishes
OF Acadia, Calcasieu and St. Landry
probably tended to swing Vermilion
into the dry column. Lafayette is to
hold the next local option election,
largely as a result of these previous
dry victories, as some of the saloons
driven out of Acadia and Calcasieu
are reported to have moved across
the boundary and are supplying their
former patrons from there. Two other
parishes, Tensas and st. Tammany.
have also called for license elections

Letter from Jennings Planter.

Jennings, La, July 27.-Thomas
Monk has the earliest rice in this Sec
ton. He will be7in harvesting in a
few DAYS and the yield will be fair.
George E. Mound treated his house
to q coat of paint last week.
The acreage of rice is slightly less
this wear than last, but the improved
condition OF the crop will likely over
balance the deficiency.
So far as have seen, my obserVa-
tiOns do not warrant so catering an
account of the probable yield as other
correspondents are reporting. There
is some very fine rice in this section,
especially Honduras, but much of it
is heading out irregular and with
small heads. The stand is generally
good. Late s0wn jap has been in
iured some by maggOtS and is also
very grassy in many places, so as to
MATERIAL reduce he WELD, and on the
whole looks very common to me at
present My observations and eXper-
fence show that less acreage and bet
ter cultivation at the right time would
be far more profitable to many of our
farmers than the mode generally fol-
lowed. to get ia rs many acres as
possible in any old way. 1t is proven
to me without doubt that land plowed
now or as early us possible and
disked and narrowed frequently to
kill out red rice and weeds and break
up the crust Turned after each hard
rain, would double the yield vt the
next crop 10 many cases. After the
first big rain after blowing, as soon

MARKET NEWS

There is no doubt that there has
been a very heavy distribution of
stocks by the pools that acquired a
line of securities at much lower levels.
One evidence of this is the fact that the
commission houses are now carrying
more stocks than at any other time
since the panic. 1t is generally be-
lieved also that the short interest in
the market has been very much re-
duced. Whatever may be the attitude
for the moment of the millionaire pool
market judges believe that a substan-
tial reaction is due, although there is
a good deal of difference of opinion as
to how far it may go at this time.
Shrewd market judges hold the opinion
that later in the summer Il demonstra-
tion will be made by the bull interests
for political purposes, but they eons;d-
er that present levels are too high upon
which to base such a movement
Notwithstanding the unfavorable re-
port of the United States Steel Corpora
tion which was to be expected, the cor
poration has demonstrated impregnable
strength on the basis of it's present
dividend commitments. The great plant
at Gary is from now on to gradually in,
crease its activities in the whole scheme
OF the company's business. When full
ly completed. insiders say the trust
will be dominant in the iron and steel
industry of the world. Ii has emerged
from the panic slowly and gradually,
but every inch of ground retraced to-
ward normal activity has been held.
When the return of prosperity is an
accomplished fact and surplus begins
to pile up far beyond the need of bet
terment or expansion expenditures. the
program of the corporation will be iii
rected toward the curtailment of cap
italization. There will be retrenchment

The earnings of the railroads and
industrial corporations do not show the
Improvement which many Wall street
men expected. Comparisons with the
returns of year ago are anything but
satisfactory. President Ripley of Atch.
ison, is quoted as being very pessimistic
on the situation, and is said to have
made the statement that several Of
the weaker lines will not be able TO
stand the strain much longer.
The conservative banking interests
are predicting that some time in Au
gust the political campaign will give
the security markets a shock. They
believe that Wall street has been over
confident and that complications win
develop during the canvass which will
be felt all the more severely because
Wall street seems not to be prepared
for them. There is, of course, much
justification for its optimism as to the
general business outlook. There has
been some distinct improvement in
many lines of industry, but the stock
market seems to have discounted this
general brightening-up, which up TO this
time has been mostly sentimental. Good
results are bound TO follow in due time,
but improvement of a substantial char
aeter will come but slowly.

The feature of the market this week
per shares. This is naturally accounted
for by the Improvement in the price
of copper metal and the general feeling
that an advance to profitable levels is
overdue. Wall street has heard many
rumors of impending contracts involv
ing millions of pounds of copper, but
the fact remains that the large consum-
ers are still shy of the market and
are only buying for immediate needs.
There has been some increase in the
volume of spot business, due to the
depletion of stocks during the period
of contraction, but as stated during the
week by one of the principal consumers
of the metal in the United States, Gin
quiries for the fourth quarter of the
year have not resulted in enough sub
stantial business whereby criterion is
set for deliveries so far ahead FIX
ports of copper for the year ended
June 30 broke all previous records, with
total of 703,0O0,000 pounds of refined
copper and $4,000 tons of ore. The
total exports for the previous year were
4l4,000,0O0 pounds of copper and 81
$40 tons of ore. Meanwhile the new
copper mines are daily increasing their
output. at costs ranging from to s
cents per pound, while the older com
higher, are contracting production.
