The record foY highwater

The record foY llighwater
made by the 'Torras and Hy-
melia crevasaes, will in point
Of area covered and crops des-
troyed, surpass anything that
the people Of this parish can
ever remember. Even the
awfal aud destructive Head Of
1882, was not as terrible and
as widespread gs the flood Of
1912. Today both sides OF
Bayou Lafourche, from the
Mississippi river to the dnlf,
il threatened, aud in many
places the plantations are
wholly covered
While the water from Tor
gas en the rlgIsoending
bank Of Bayou Lafourche has
begun to sesede slowly, the
+
water from the Hymelia Gre
vase on the left descending
bank Of Bayou l1afourche,
has rapidly worked it's way
to Assumption, and one plan
sation after another has been
compelled to erect levees to
fight the water from the par
ish of Lafqytrche line tq. the
Parish of Ascension line.
Those plantations that extend
some distance in the rear from
Bayou Lafourche. have been
unable to keep the water from
covering the crops, and it has
been rising rapidly a. some
points the water is not half a
mile from Bayou Lafourche.
The situation in this parish is
now as criticize on the left
bank as it was some time ago
on the right bank and It is
thought by some that the loss
to tue cane. and corn crops
will be as great if not greater.

not sanction the INJUSTICE OF
crudely remode1ilg the tariff
schedules in such a way as tc
force any Que industry, pre-
viously dependent upon the
tariff, to sell in a free trade
market and to buy in a pro-
tected one; nor would we con
template the turing of the A.
merican market over the ma
nipulation by foreign tariffs
and export bounties where
the results would be in the
wiping out Of an American
industry by a temporary low.
ering Of prices and a subse.
quent raising Of prices under

enrichment.
I'VE espouse these princi.
pies, not solely because they
would forbid the heavy and
cruel blow proposed against

are the necessary guides to

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Inertia on

are over. ON the other hand. buyers
holding aloof for the better returns
which pending new issues are eX-
peCted to offer. This stand-on be-
tween buyers and sellers. has been
further illustrated by the attitude OF
large corporations in need Of funds.
Ii il known that banking houses had
been holding back such offerings for
some time past, awaiting more favor
able conditions. this situation being
largely responsible for the compare
tive inactivity of the investment
market There is no serious lack of
purchasing power. 1t may he that
among the smaller class OF investors
there is less money than usual for
sailing down purposes. but there is
sufficient buying capacity among large
individual and corporation investors
10 take care OF a reasonable amount
of really desirable offerings. There
has been one other rather important
obstacle to good investment buying,
and that is the insistence of pur-
chaSers upon better returns. Capt.
tai now demands larger profits upon
new ventures, an attitude which at
first sight seems inconsistent with the
glutted condition Of the money mar
ket. Money. however. may be cheap
Tor temporary purposes, but when
passing into fixed forms of invest
ment requires and seems TO he able
TO secure better returns Capital also
wants larger profits. because those
with fixed incomes are compelled TO
secure higher rates of interest or
dividends in order TO meet the in
creased cost of living. This week
several new bond issues of import
ance have been made at rates which
prove such assertions. Where ~
per cent used TO he an acceptable re-
turn upon high-class bonds, per
cent is often now demanded. Desir-
able issues have been made recently
at about a ) per cent basis Il Is
worthy OF note that in all the new
issues thus far offered little or no
stock has been offered. This con-
tinued prepOnderance Of bonds in
new issues is significant Whether
It is a mark of general distrust or.
not. it means a piling up of fixed
obligations which could not be regard
cd without concern in event of any
widespread business depression.
The stock market was further I'M
settled by the expected reduction in
ST Paul dividend. For years this
stock has been upon a per cent
basis. but it was known that last
years net results did not warrant a
of this rate. Union Pa
