Fears expressed by some Of the most
prominent copper authorities that there
is to be shortage Of the metal soon,
meaning either unwise purchases at alb
normal prices or curtailmeut Of its
use, have been the most interesting fea-
lures of the copper situation during the
week. From Boston comes the reported
interview of John D. Ryan to this eff
feet. following like expressions from
Daniel Guggeuheim.
The July Copper Producers Associa-
tion statistics were far more favorable
than had been hoped for. Domestic de-
liveries were less than those of June,
but the exports Of the metal were up~
usually great and the production of a
little over 112,0o0,000 pounds was the
smallest since last February. The sur
plus was cut down by almost 2o,oo0,000
pounds, leaving the domestic stocks on
August 1st only few pounds in excess
of the total July consumption
Despite these favorable statistics. the
copper stocks in the East have suffered
in attractiveness marketwise by the
uncertainty attending the industrial sit
uation, which uncertainty has brought
about severe decline in stock ranges.
The public is not in the market at all,
and the trading is reported to be ex-
clusively professional. 1t is a strug~
gle between the short interests and the
constructive side OF tho market, with
results so far much in favor of the
former.
Local stock market conditions are
unfavorable as rule. although there
are number of bargains available
which many are taking advantage of
with care.

Big Bond Issue Voted.

At an election held in the New
River Drainage District Of the par
ish of Ascension on Tuesday, Aug
ust |, a proposition was VoteI bv a.
majority in number and amount of
the property taxpayers participating
therein to issue bonds bearing five
per cent interest to the amount of
l75,O00.00, and payable within forty
years. The bonds are#t be Sc
cured by a 5-mi1l ad Valorem tax
on all property subject to taxation
within the district, and an 11-cent
acreage tax on all lands situated
within the district. The board Of
commissioners met at their domi-
Gle on Friday, August 4. in the eve
ming, and after recounting and can
vassing the ballots and tally sheets
found that there had been cast 1872
votes with an assessment Of s74.935
in favor, and los votes with an as
sessment of S50,53O against the prop
osition. The majority in favor be-
ing 16 in number and s24,4O5 in
amount. the board declared the
proposition carried and ordered the
returns promulgated in the official
journal or the parish.
The carrying of this proposition
will prove of incalculable benefit to
the large number of property tax
payers of the district, and will in a
measure be the means of practical
ly reclaiming thousands of acres of
land which in the past produced but
small crops. The total acreage of
the district is nearly $4,000, and
when the work of draining the prin-
cipal streams has been completed
there is no doubt but the New River
section, which has always been CON
sidered as having the finest lands
den spot. It is presently proposed
to dredge and clean the New River
proper from its source in the rear
of the Riverside plantation, on the
mississippi river front, to it's out
let, Blind river, a distance of more
than twenty miles; to clean and
dredge what is known as Black
Bayou for a distance of seven miles,
that is, from the rear Of thu D. B.
Miller, ST., place to New River at
Or near St. Amant; to lredge and
clean the Smith bayou for dis
lance of four miles, and the clean
ing and dredging, wherever needed,
Of the Goodine bayou. Under the
propositions submitted at the cleo
ton the board is also authorized to
take all necessary steps that it
may deem proper to economically
drain all the territory embraced
within the limits of the district.
The board of commissioners in
whose hands this gigantic PROPOSE
ton is entrusted, and who will in
augurate the work at an early date,
is composed Of Messrs leon Picard,
president; G. D. Gondran, vice pres
ident; and Messrs. Robert F. Acy,
A. U. Babin and German Vargas
sans, with G. C. Weber as secretary
treasurer. It is the purpose of the
board, when the funds which were
authorized at the election are avail
able, to advertise for bids for the
whole work contemplated and to
award the contract to#the lowest
bidder, with the proper security for
the early completion of the work.
