Bananas High.
If you have bought bananas for the

quently paid 90 cents per pound for
them, maybe more. This reminds us
of letter from Quin Cooper, formerly
of Fort Scott, Kansas. He visited the
banana belt on the West Coast before
the war and wrote us as follows: I'VE
sent Irene on horseback to town the
other day, giving her a silver dollar
to buy oranges with. She brought
back so cents and a big sack full OF
oranges across the saddle. AS to
bananas. you can buy small punches
at 10 cents, and great punches, load
for a strong man, for 25 cents. These
are the bananas which supply Califor-
MIA cities, and the country as far north
as Alaska. west of the mountains"
A little inquiry at that time develop
| ed that bananas grown in the Panama
canal district, on the east coast of
| southern Mexico. and on south through
the tropics, cost little more than did
those quoted by Mr.. Cooper, Further
| than this, the writer visited Mobile
| and New Orleans little later, and
| coming north over the Mobile and
| Ohio road saw carloads of green bana-
| mas at the foot of great dump, just
| outside of Cairo, Illinois. These
| bananas had been freighted by vessel
from the tropics, and by rail that far
north only to be unloaded from the
! high river entertainments near the
| junction of the Ohio and Mississippi
/ rivers, to rot. And why? Because the
ST. Louis, Chicago and Minneapolis
markets could not absorb them with
out breaking the price. This occurred
some years ago. and we cannot say
, who was responsible for the waste of
! this great fOod-fruit at that time.
We stopped at Cairo. boweve-.
where we found bananas selling at
high prices. On asking why these car
loads of bananas were not salvageI,
ripened and sold at reasonable prices,
| the explanation was that there were
no roadways to the foot of the en-
| bankmcntS. And moreover there
were men drawing a salary to see that
rot even a bunch of boys lugged a
| few up the steep declines.
Banana Dealers Incredulous.
On arrival in st. Louis we talked
things over with a few large commits
sion firms who handled bananas, who
hooted at our story. They said that
any bananas thrown over the dunn
must have been rotting. etc. Not A
man would admit he ever heard 81
such a procedure, and the writer was
''prObably crazy with the heat"
But ever since that experience We

have been inclined 10 take seriously
the statement that potatoes were be-
ing held on switch tracks while tho
price went up in the cities, and that
fruit was rotting or being dumped as
garbage, to sustain prices. The fed.
eral food administration took this mat
ter in hand during the war period, a
Tune when everything available was
in demand at n price which should
have paid growers well, which they
did not always do, even then.
AS for ourselves, we have now and
then paid outside prices for bananas
but not often. We no longer have all
ungovernable appetite for bananas.
We are almost convinced that they
do not really rank as a paramount
article of food, and that at 90 or %
cents per pound, we are paying TOO
much for the peel.

Weekly Financial Review
ey AmocIated pfsss


 New York, March 21.--The hope that Congress may formulate constructive tax programme, progressive advances in British exchange to the highest point since last December. and free supplies of call money at low rates provided the motive power for last weeks busy and irregular strong stock market. Unusual interest attached to the rally in London remittances be- cause of the sharp decline of Febru- ary exports from this country. accom- panied by indications that Britain's foreign trade is rapidly expanding.
 Acting on the supreme court de- cision, several industrial companies declared large stock bonuses and the movements of other shares of kindred character pointed to continuance of such disburse ments. Rails had their occasional intervals of activity and strength, based largely on reports that extensive plans for their rehabilitation were under way. but at best those is- sues made only moderate advances.
 There were times when the markets expansive operations suggested an un- mistakable accession of public inter- est. According to observers. however an overwhelming proportion of the business emanated from professional sources. No very marked signs of an easier credit situation were apparent, but money conditions were favorable in that heavy federal and tax pay ments were made without perceptible strain to bank reserves.
 The only changes noted in the inyest- ment market were those occasioned by several new capital offerings. These were easily absorbed. but silt-edged domestic and foreign war flotatlons were again in very light demand.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New Orleans, March 21.-The price of cotton last week moved over range of 1S to 155 points on the most active con- tract months, and closed at net gains for the week of 37 to 59 points. except on March. which felt liquidation on the close and wound up at net loss of AZ points. March closed at 3gc, which com pared with 41o as the closing price of 1iddling spots. At the highest of the week and at the lowest they were 3s to B points under March at one time traded as high as 40. 1oc, a new high rec ord for contracts.
 Prices were lifted mainly on the strength lent the market by the continued
 unsatisfactory shape of new crop prepa- 'ations, complaints of too much rain in he central and eastern divisions of &zR 2elt, and too little moisture in Texas, ana oy general complaints of the shortage of
 abor. For while the spot month was very strong, and it, caused sympathetic strength In other months, but on the weekend March was the weakest month.
 The week closed with general selling for both accounts, mainly because of lhe highest unfavorable German news and the situation in Germany promises to oe a prominent influence in the trading of the new week, some market circulars predicting that 1t would probably domi- nate the market, especially if weather conditions should become more favorable.
 As regards the weather the entire belt with the exception of Texas, needs fTss moisture, and all states need higher tenn oeratures. Tn Texas it Is claimed that a good part of the state has had little rain for several weeks, and that in con sequence the top soil Is hard and cloddy and in poor shape for blowing. Bright, warm weather outside of Texas would probably cause much selling. Light showers and warmer weather in Texas would probably have the same effect, while more cold and wet weather outside of Texas would greatly increase the un- easiness already felt regarding the start of the new crop, and would lead to inn portant buying, especially of the late months, the discounts on which have all ready attracted considerable attention.

IDEAL CONDITIONS
 MARK FIRST DAY OF SPRING HERE
Yesterday, March 21, Was Vernal Equinox, Marking the End of Winter,
 Maybe

Yesterday March 21. ewas the yer nal equinox.
 It was the first day of spring. As a forerunner of summer the season came in beatutifully. Almost cloudless. and warm the day was ideal.
 Despite the fact that on Ground Hog Day" February 2. the bristly beast saw it's shadow and went back to cover. the pre-sprinE days were not all that could nave been wished. but yesterday and the Sunday of the week, before were above reproach.
 But to get back to the equinox
 Duration of time between sunrise and sunset yesterday. and between sunset yesterday evening and sunrise this morning was practically Identical.
 March 21 is always the vernal equi- nox. September 21. Is the autumnal equinxo, as far as the northern hemis- phere of the earth Is effected.
 and longest days of the year are the summer and winter solstice. June 21, the longest day in the wear. and De- oember 21. the shortest.
 September gales at sea. and the late March and early April tornadoes in this country and parts of Europe have given rise to the belief that the time of the equinox Is the time of storms.
 In it's scientific finding regarding the equinox, the eneyclopeFia states;
 ''rhe line of the eouin6xes is the imaginary diameter of the celestial spheres which joins them"
 This is lucid enough, /but so brief. The encyclopedia cou1d so easily have explained that the super orbital 1uxta- rosition of the possecumatatus. In con tradistinction from the oseo- -pulmon- ary causus belli. divided by the anjina pectoris is equal to the product and tEe sum and difference divided by the squares. if you dot and carry one.
