a UNIQUE TOBACCO.

Perique, unique sort of tobacco raised
In this country is limited In quantity
and the district producing 1t Is confined
to a small section OF st. James Parish. on
the east side OF the Mississippi River
Louisiana The total production is about
200 600 pounds year. This tobacco Is
perfected by an involved method or
sweating and curing. which was devel-
oped by the Arcadians OF St James
Parish. When picked, the tobacco Is
stemmed and rolled into loose twists
which are placed under pressure until
the Juices are forced out and the leaves
become black and sticky. These juices in
the working are reabsorbed. and dur
ing this process rum is blown into the
mass. II is finally stored to cure. and at
the end is OF peculiar strength. with a
characteristic aromatic odor. 1t Is used
in cigarettes. pipe mixtures and for chew
ing, and some manufacturers insert few
strands In cigars to give them fragrance

THE COTTON MARKET
Upset by Washington News
Closing at an Advance.

After showing a continuation OF oullish
excitement and making new high records
for the season during the official session
the cotton market yesterday became al
most demoralized by reports from WASH
ington purporting to give the text OF the
Underwood substitute for the Clarke cot
ton futures tax measure. These us
patches did not reach the trade untl'
after the official close. and many opera
tors had already left for the day, ou'
some Of the remaining traders TOOK such

increased by a sensational break in the

MONEY.

The movements Of money during the
last week were favorable to New York.
and as a result an easier tendency in
loaning rates was exhibited at the end Of
the week. Gold movements showed total
receipts Of $3.50, 900. which included French
gold and United States gold coin. while
New York shipped sl500.Ooo to Canada,
part OF which will go 10 European in
vestors. Unusually at this season of the
year the banks experience considerable
trouble and rates have higher tendency
For instance. during the corresponding
week in September. 1912. call money
ranged as high as per cent, with re~
newals at and per cent. On last Mon
day call money was per cent. and at the
close on Friday II was renewed at 2% per
cent. Probably much OF the present easy
tone is due TO the early deposits Of gov
eminent funds in the interior banks,
which allaycd any apprehension regarding
tight money for the time being. How long
this will hold and whether there will be
y, unsatisfactory reflection later is
question that must be answered In the
coming months.

STATE URGED MINING AID
Pennsylvania Roads New Pol.
lev Recalls Early Purchases.

Comment yesterday in the financial dis
trlct on the announcement by the Penn
sylyanla Railroad Of It's intention TO
divest Itself of its mining properties
which produce about per cent or the
total anthracite OF the United STATES
brought TO light many interesting Facts
The Pennsylvania first became Interested
IN hard coal properties in the early SIX
tics 10 assure to it's line n fair share or
the anthracite traffic. When this policy
WAS adopted the Pennsylvania and other
railroad companies deemed 1t vitality nee
essary for their future welfare to become
interested in coal lands or otherwise
lose an important source OF revenue.
In making such investments the carriers
were acting in accord with the laws Of
Pennsylvania. In fact a statute was
enacted by that state In 1869 making il
lawful for railroads and canal companies
TO aid corporations authorized by law
TO develop the coal, iron and lumber and
other natural resources of the state by
the purchase of their capital stock and
bonds. Those companies, therefore, felt
that In acquiring and retaining interests
in the securities of coal companies or In
coal lands they were not only obtaining
traffic for their lines, but were directly
aiding the state
Notwithstanding such specific leglsla-
tive authority and Encouragement, a de-
cided change has taken place In public
opinion in Pennsylvania, and the rail-
road company, approaching this. has de-
cided 10 rid Itself OF It's coal properties.
According TO reports current In financial
circles, the Pennsylvania has also under
Amusement the disposal of its holdings In
the Cambria Steel Company. Should the
road decide to take this step without any
agreement as 10 the handling of its traf-
hc II might stand To lose profitable
source Of revenue. The Cambria Steel
Company makes about 10000 tons os
pig iron and ships about the same ton
mage OF finished products each year Its
reports do not give coal. ore. coke or
limestone. but shipments are estimated
al about 10000 tons.

A one-cent piece is made from almost
chemically pure copper. which is obtained
by the new electric methods. Formerly
the refining OF copper was an expensive
process. but with the utilization OF cleo
tricity the expense has been materially de-
creased.
The copper Is placed at one end OF q
tank filled with water. This Is called a
node, or positive pole. The action OF a
powerful electric current releases the cop
per, carries IL through the water. and de-
posits II on the negative. or cathode pole.
The result is what is known as electro
lytic" or cathode" copper THIS Is the
material OF which pennies are made.
While the "electrolytic" Is the purest
known copper, the Lake" copper brings a
slightly higher price I'm the market. This
Is because there Is a small amount OF sill
YER In all the copper from the Lake Su-
perior region. II is. however. OF such
limited quantity that IL cannot be sepa-
rated at a profit. Silver. moreover. is a
better conductor OF electricity than cop
per- and, therefore. for commercial pur-
poses the lake" copper is in such demand
that 1t brings a better price.-Harpers
