Our banks have stood every trial
During all the financial troubles
which have beset the country at diff
ferent times, and when many banks
in other cities issued script, the local
institutions were always able to meet
the demands upon them in cash pay
ments. That is the reason the citi-
zens of Wilmington take special pride
in their banks.
WilmingtOn's Future.
No city has better facilities than
Wilmington for manufacturing pur-
suits. Older residents who have
watched its growth from a town Of
$4,000 population to a city of 100000
inhabitants, picture in their mind a
community of a million souls, stretch

Banking Institutions.
One of the important requisites Of
a successful community is good bank
ing institutions. The banks of VIII
mington are unsurpassed by any in
the country. The first failure of such
an institution in this city is yet to be
recorded. Managed by men who have
lived in our midst foI years, and their
fathers before them, all bear an en-
viable reputation for integrity and
square dealing.
II has been said that everybody
works in Wilmington, and there can
be added to this saying, that every
dollar that makes up the wealth of
the city, also is kept busy. There
are but few retired men of wealth,
the majority of those with means,
preferring to remain in the harness
until their health necessitates a we'll

RAW SUGAR QUOTATION
FALLS BELOW 8 CENTS
FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS

Not since the last period of free
sugar, under the Wilson tariff bill,
which was in effect between 1892 and
1894, has the price of raw sugar been
so low as it is today Until yesterday
when the quotation of 2.95 cents was
cabled in, the price has not fell below
3 cents flat for 20 years.
In 1892, under free sugar, a low
price of 3.06 cents was reached. In
1893 the low figure was 2.S75; and in
1894 the price was down at onf, time
to ITS, before the tariff duty was re-
stored on August 27th of that year.
Secretary A. NJ NOVEL; of the Sugar
Factors Company expressed the .opin-
ion this morning that the latest drop
in price has been due TO the releas-
ing of a large quantity of stored sugar
in the East. He is also hopeful that
this extreme depression will be Of but
short duration.

According to a recent letter from

FURTHER ACTION ON
CUBAN DUTY MUST BE
IN V.S.SUPREME COURT
By C. S. ALBERT.

Especial Star-Bulletn Correspondence
WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. L.
Cuban sugar is entitled to enter the
United States at. all times during the
life of the present reciprocity treaty
on payment of duty of 20 per cent
less than that paid on other sugars,
according to an opinion handed down
by Attorney General McReynolds.
Louisiana sugar growers, who brought
the case to head, contended yigor-
ously that there was a conflict In the
new tariff law between its reaffirma-
tion of the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
which provides for 20 per cent pref
erential for Cuban sugar, and that
part of the law which provides for a
general reduction of the duty on su-
gar of % per cent beginning March 1.
They hoped that the encouragement
would find that there could not be a
reaffirmation of the treaty and re-
duction in sugar duties.
The attorney generals opinion, how.
ever, will result in an almost immedf-
ete reduction in the rate on Cuban
sugar, keeping it as now 20 per cent
under other sugars. After March 1
Cuban "95 per cent" sugar will be ad-
mitted to the United States on pay
ment of duty of about cent per
pound.
The attorney-generars opinion was
sent to Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo and customs collectors will be
notified of its purport before March
1. Any further action by the sugar
growers probably would be in the SUI
Ereme court. Suit might De brought

has ruled. .@. -. -.
