EXTREMES IN CUBA.

In a letter received today from New
York by the Bank of Hawaii, it is
stated that a large refinery received
advices from it's agent in Cuba that
unless showers occurred very soon a
part of the cane crop would be lost.
Soon after a cable was received
from the same agent, stating that
such heavy rains had fallen that con-
siderable loss would result. From
which it would appear that the Gu.
ban planters are experiencing the ex.
tremes of weather conditions.

The Yokohama Specie Bank is un-
iversally regarded as the leading bank
in Japan, and as the best equipped
medium for the commercial world
dealing with Japan, either in exports
or imports. The bank also offers
exceptional facilities for financing
bills of exchange drawn on North
China and Manchuria, owing to the
branches in the principal cities
of that section In using the Yoko-
hama Specie Bank, Americans have
the satisfaction of doing business
with a bank having its own branches
in the various localities, to which
shipments may be made. The i'm
porter also can avail himself of the
service of the bank in having his
bills of exchange negotiated by the
branch at the point of shipment, and
being directly handled through one
financial institution. The capital
stock of 24OOO,OOO Yen is fully paid
up and the reserve funds exceer 49,
100000 Yen. A Yen is worth about fif-
ty cents in United States money. The
President of the Yokohama Specie
Bank is Baron Korekiyo Takahashi,
the well-known Japanese financier,"
The manager of the local branch of
the bank is NJ. Tokieda.

VERY SLEEPY DAY
IN STOCK CIRCLES

Although there were quite a few
small transactions, this may be set
down as one of the sleepiest days in
stock circles. If there were buying
orders out, the holders were very
quiet about the matter. Bidding was
lifeless, even though there were in
dicatiCns of bargains here and there.
The most vigor was shown, per-
haps, by Haiku and Paia. Following
the news of yesterday that the divl-
dends of these companies would be
increased from three-fourths OF one
per cent to one per cent monthly, res
pectively, beginning May l, these
stocks began to look up and We're
very strong this morning. Between
boards 10 shares Haiku sold at $50
while on Change this morning the
stock was held at $155. With NJ
sales, Paia was $147 bid, holders
however, having advanced their fig

City Already Struggling Under an
Indebtedness Of $4o,916,91a.13.
New Orleans is far from being a
unit in favor of the proposed state
tax to raise a fund of $6,500,oO0 in
aid Of the Worlds Panama eXposi-
ton.
The New Orleans Taxpayers Pro-
tective association has adopted a
strong resolution, which is being
widely distributed in the form Of a
circular letter. advising it's mec1bers
to oppose the levy, principally on the
ground that the city is already taxed
and bonded to the limit Of endurance
and that the taxpayers are not able
to bear the additional burden.
The letter quotes the comptrcller's
report Of Dec. 81, 1909, to prove that
the present bonded debt of the city
is $32,521, ,040, on which the annual
interest amounts to 1915, TAO. In ad-
ditlon to this the water and sewerage
board is attempting to sell S7,000,o 900
Of bonds, bearing interest at 4
per cent and the unpaid ordinances
and unfinished contracts for paving
amount to $349, 1888 and $852, 2,7O9. 50

To the above must be added more

by the city on state bonds now due;
the courthouse commission carries a
debt Of $75O,OOO, the dock board
100000, and the leyee board
100000.
Continuing, the letter says: IRE

Orleans succeeds in selling her
$1,000, 900 of bonds, the water and
sewerage board will compel every
property holder, to the number Of &C.,

many thousands of dollars. and when
Mr.. Saintsbury perceived that he was
likely to be cheated of this money he
suffered a nervous shock which had
much to do with his death.
This whole matter was a close Sc
cret. Nobody in Davenport knew any
thing about it except Mr.. Saintsbury
and a lawyer. After Mr.. Saintsbury's
death the lawyer went to New York
and attempted to collect the sum that
was due. Failing to get immediate ac-
ton, he left the matter in charge Of a
New York lawyer and returned to
Davenport.
The New York lawyer played a slow
and quiet game, not daring to proceed
openly In the courts for fear Of wreck
ing the brokers. in which event their
creditors would have got about a cent
on the dollar But in the course Of time
the condition Of the brokers' firm i'm
proved, and at last it seemed best that
Mrs. Saintsbury should go to New
York and that proceedings should be
begun in earnest.
Accordingly Mrs. Saintsbury and
Ethel set forth for the metropolis.
None Of their friends knew the real
cause of their journey.
Ethel Saintsbury had now passed her
nineteenth birthday. She was a girl of
superior mental power, a brilliant and
diligent student, with a somewhat mas
culine aptitude for science and math-
ematics.
When the mother and daughter
reached New York they went at once
to a small hotel where apartments had
been engaged for them. The rooms
were at the rear, and the windows
looked out upon the backs Of houses
in the next street.
It was ordained that Ethel Saints
bury should have leisure to contem-
plate the view that has been men
toned, for in alighting from her car
riage at the door she turned her ankle
in very painful fashion. so that she
was unable to walk for ten days.
For this reason the business which
had brought them to New York was
transacted chiefly in the ladies' apart
ment. Thither came the lawyer who
was in charge Of the case, and thither
came also a young gentleman named
Dudley Wayne, who used to be known
as Deadly" Wayne when he played
football for Harvard some years ago.
He is now an assistant district attor-
ney of New York. and he was called
into the discussion because certain
acts of the brokers firm aforemention-
ed seemed to have a criminal aspect.
Doubtless there was as handsome
and as worthy fellows in Davenport,
but Ethel SaintsbWy had been blind
to their merits. Dudley Wayne took
her by surprise. She had not supposed
there were any men like him. She
was in love with him before she knew
it.
Wayne meanwhile had progressed
ever further. He knew that he was
crazy. He could see Miss Saintsbury
sitting in the chairs in his office; she
waited for him at every turn Of his

EXPOSITION FIGHT
INTERESTS COUNTRY
San Francisco 0utCIaSSGS New
Orleans In Every Respect

The great fight that is being waged
between San Francisco and New Or
leans for the honor of celebrating the
completion Of the Panama canal is
attracting the attention Of the entire
country. The fight is no longer q
contest between the two cities, but be-
tween California and Louisiana, the
legislatures Of which have each au-
thorized state tax to raise funds
In aid of the proposed international
exposition.
In financial standing California is
SO far ahead of Louisiana that its
superior ability to finance the fair
must be conceded, and If the question
of selecting a site for the exposition
were to be decided on a basis Of the
relative wealth of the contestants,
congress would have no option, but
would be forced to award the coveted
honor to San Francisco.
To the unpreiudiced observer It is
difficult to see wherein New Orleans
has any legitimate claim to recogni-
ton as the logical point for the ex-
position, aside from the mere fact
that 1t is located nearer to the center
Of population. In beauty of surround
ings, climatic advantages, ability to
handle the hundreds Of thousands OF
prospective visitors, general progress
sive spirit of its people and record
of achievement, San Francisco stands
head and shoulders above its rival.
According to the report OF the ma
tional monetary commission on April
28, 1909, the population Of California
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-10-14

was 1.732,OOO. and that of Louisiana
1,642,0O while in the amount OF saw
ings deposits California ranked
fourth among the states Of the Union
and Louisiana twenty-fourth, the ex-
act figures being as follows:
California ................'S2ol' es8'4ot ~
Louisiana ........,.,...'.. zl'ooo'SoS ~
California had 525,iss deposltors, aver
aging S535.00; Louisiana 1854, aVerag-
ing S26lOO.
The total resources as represented in
bank deposits were; California Ss4s;- d
500, 9,sS00O; average per capita Sis6.70.
Louisiana, s15s,642, $1,000; average per
capita, S98.s1.
The following figures are taken
from the report of the reports Of the
California comptroller Of currency:
San Francisco-Total savings deposits,
S15s, ,792, 1905; total individual deposits.
S24S 927, ,43747. average, $4,000.

Increase in resources OF national
banks wear 1909-191O: San Francisco,
Sl0s g. 2S96; Now Orleans, $3.50, ,22674.
In the face of such a showing New
Orleans and Louisiana do not appear
to be In the same class with San
Francisco and California, financially.
And California is as much superior
to Louisiana in every other respect
as she is financially, Just as San
Francisco is immeasurably superior
to New Orleans in all that goes to
make a great and beautiful city.
San Francisco is the ideal site for
the Panama-Paciic International ex-
position in 1915. Let congress make
no mistake.
