Already inquiries have been received
by the bureau of navigation from several

The bureau replied that no definite ac-

EUROPEAN WAR MAY RE-
WYE LOUISIANA SUGAR
RAISING.

The war in Europe may great
iy help revive the sugar industry
j, the state of Louisiana, accord
inc to A. II. Osborne of New
Iberia. that state, who is a vlsl-
tor at the local market. Sugar
planters of Louisiana have been
up against a hard proposition for
several years past, remarked
Mr.. Osborne to a representative
of the Reporter. "They have
had to fight floods, freezes, and a
cut in the tariff, these following
each other one year after the
other. For a while the sugar
market was so depressed it GER
tainly looked like the plant
ers would be forced out of bust
Eess and would have to devote
their farms to other crops and
stock raising. Since the big war
opened, however, the sugar mar
ket has shot up and bids fair to
stay high until long after peace
is restored. Our planters can
operate profitably in normal sea-
sons when the sugar market is at
SC per pound basis and it is well
sbove that figure now. The crop
this year will not exceed two
thirds of an average yield for
the reason that comparatively
small acreage was put in. Plant
crs have had lots Of trouble get
ing money from the banks OF
late. Fact is, the tariff last year
scared the bankers and cused
them to 60 cautiously in advanc-
ing loans. This is largely re-
sponsible for the small acreage
Of the 1914 crop. The money
market is also very tight this
season due to the war this time,
end not tariff scare. If the Lou
isiana planters can get sufficient
money they will put out a good
acreage to cane for the coming
season. This will be of great
help to business all around. ! am

1t is not perhaps surprising to find
one of the most striking styles named

the note is of the finest quality, the

Many of the colors just introduced
