The Louisiana Planter of last Saturday
says: There has been abundant rainfall
during the past week throughout the
Louisiana sugar district and plenty of
moisture has been had to protect fall plant
and cane that has been put down for seed.
Light tonnage is still reported everywhere,
and the estimates of the total amount of
this years crop continue to diminish, 150-
900 tons being now considered too high by
some. Cane is yielding we'll, the factories
reporting the best results per ton that have
been obtained in number of years
Rapid progress at all places is the rule,
and a very early completion of the cam
paign is indicated at nearly every factory
in the State. Already reports reach us OF
the termination of the crop at few fac
tories, the short campaign being due not
only to the actual light tonnage, but also
in part to the fact that very large amount
of seed for next years crop has been put
down.

Gals and the local police worked hard
to-day to secure some clue to the identity
of the men who held up transfer mail clerk
c.. E. Carter at the Union Depot, early
this morning and got away with the reg
istered mail. So far police have been un-
successful. A number of suspects were
taken into custody, but all were released
later. Out of ten packages of registered
mail, the bandits took eight and the two
remaining contained only blank money
orders consigned to North Louisiana post
offices. The loss is larger than at first
thought. The First National Bank, Of
Shreveport, sent 81 900 by registered mail
to correspondent and this package is
missing. The Continental Bank and Trust
Company, of Shreveport, lost cotton GER
tifcates and number of cancelled notes
transmitted by the Commercial National
Bank were stolen. Fragments of the mai
were discovered several blocks away from
the scene of the hold-up.
