Grand Ridge, June 26.--Grand
Ridge still stands first in the produc-
tion and shipment of watermelons
and pure Florida cane syrup.
Yesterday thirteen cars of melons
were being loaded at the same time.
The acreage in melons is less than
formerly, but the yield better and the
melons larger. More than hun
dred car loads win be shipped.
The prices so far are better than
usual, ranging from one hundred 70
one hundred and fifty dollars per car

Sugar cane is very backward and
in less acreage than formerly, which
Is unfortunate, as the prospects indi-
cate better prices than any former
years.
Corn and Hogs.
Never in our experience OF years
In the great corn belt of the west did
we see such corn stalks, and such
"shootings" as the corn fields of this
section this season, and with a few
weeks of such showers and the crop
win be four times that of any for
mer year.
Grand Ridge shipped one car of
hogs last season 1.-THE first ever
shipped from this station). We will
ship at least ten car loads this fall,
and they viii be peanut run" and

a loss of at least twenty thousand
dollars to the farmers of West Flor

The Grand Ridge section has two
of the largest land holders, Cyrur
makers and cattle S-owers and cattle
feeders in West Florida, one OF
whom took small yearling steer, for
which he paid SO, and with six
months growing and feeding, got
$50 for him as beef, on foot.

The governors of twelve Federal Re-
serve Banks, at a meeting to be held
in Washington April IL, will consider
standard clearing house system to
be effective throughout the United
States. The board also will partici-
pate in the discussion.
Attempts in the past to abolish the
custom of charging exchange on out
of-town checks, which has existed
for more than 100 years, have been
stoutly resisted in the past as a con-
siderable portion OF the country's
bank revenue is derived from this
source.
The Attorney General has been
called upon to interpret certain
clauses of the law bearing on this
point. by the Federal Reserve Board.
which is doubtful of its authority to
abolish the exchange practice.
Several proposals of standard
clearing house system already have
been submitted and these will be
sifted thoroughly by the governors
and the board.

The needs Of borrowers in good standing and

feature. RATES on mixed collateral were quoted
at 24a2k per cent for sixty days, 2ta3 per cent
for ninety days, 3aJA per cent for four. Ave and
six months.
Mercantile paper was quiet this week The
volume Of attractive material was not heavy,
but the demand was rather apathetic, and the
tone Of the buyer firm. Three and one quarter
per cent was practically the lowest rate at which
sales could Be made Rates 3ayk per cent

MOVEMENTS in

Nothing Decisive Develops in
Price Fluctuations During
Entire Day.
PROFESSIONALS In SADDLE
American Zinc Company S6rs Slight
Interest with Announcement of Two
Par Values for Stock.

New York. March 25.-ProfessionaIs con-
tinued in absolute control OF the stock
market today, and as the important ones
are disturbed in their minds by the peace
talk in Europe, nothing decisive de-
yelOped in price movements.
Here and there a stock took a squirt,
but the net result was unimpOrtant.
Trading was on a large scale. There was
not even a healthy rumor afloat.
About the only incident of the day that
attracted attention was the humorous
announcement Of the American Zinc Co.
that its new preferred stock was to have
two par values, one at SIS and the other
at 800 In other words, the stock Is to
be put out as having a IS par value but
in case Of a dissolution Of the company,
or redemption, it is to be 500 par.
As the new stock is to so to present
stockholders in proportion Of one share Of
new for two shares of old stock, Wall
Street bears insist that 20 per cent divi-
dend is being paid, while the bulls figure
it a 200 per cent dividend.
Atchison shows Gains.
Railroad reports made public were Of
the same remarkable character as others
that have been coming out from day to
