Striking Improvement took place last
week in the position of the Federal
Reserve system, the statement issued
yesterday as Of the close Of business
on Wednesday, revealing ratio OF
total reserves to deposit and Federal
Reserve note liabilities combined of
67.5 per cent, compared with 662 per
cent the preceding week. The ratio OF
gold reserves to Federal Reserve notes
in circulation, after setting aside 35
per cent against deposit liabilities, rose
from S7.5 per cent to 1913 per cent.
Total gold reserves of the system in
creased from $2,656,378 900 to s2,684,-
SOL mainly as result Of fresh ar
rivals of the metal from abroad. At
the same time that the gold holdings
were mounting, borrowings by member
bands contracted. Advances, secured by
United States government obligations,
dropped from $3.50, 1898, 900 to $503.677,-

per dropped from $969, 900 to 1924
485,0O0 Federal Reserve notes in &C
tual circulation decreased from $2,5l7,-
$4,000 to $2,491 ,651 900.

TOBACCO MOVES
in QUANTITIES
Past Week Has Witnessed Largest
Movement To PriZing
Plants This Season

During the past week much tobac-
co has been delivered to the prizing
plants in Paris The closing days
of last week, with weather conditions
most favorable, hundreds of wagons
lined the streets approaches to the
plants of M T Eaker & Co on Depot
street and Crosswy Tobacco Company
on Rison street Farmers seem very
well satisfied with the prices, being
some higher than they had expected
to get, although not what they an
ticipated when the crop was put in.
Mr. Kennedy reports the situation
in the black-patch, from Paducah,
under date of March 18th, as fol-
lows:
The very favorable weather con-
ditions during the past week has put
tobacco to moving more freely than
any time before during the present
season. Deliveries to the factories
have been rather large and sales
through the loose floors and on the
wagon markets have been consider
ably larger than heretofore. Prices
on good medium and good leaf of
all classes have been strong, while
prices for the common and low
grades have been unchanged. The
greater part of the offerings being of
the common and low grades
Quite a sprinkle of medium and
good grades have sold at prices rang
ing from 20 to 3314 scents, but the
proportion of high class tobacco has
been very small.
Practically all of the larger buying
interests are in the market and there
has been more general trading than
heretofore. Quite good deal of
tobacco has been sold at the barn
doors and we estimate that some-
thing like a third of the crop has
been sold, and at the present rate of
buying the crop will be consumed in
due time. The indications are that
the Western District crop will not
yield exceeding 65 millions, which is
only about 60 per cent of the 1919
crop, and if all demands keep up,
the 1920 crop will be consumed and
should move early, but just what
| the buying interests will do remains
| to be seen. Farmers who have good
and medium tobacco are delighted
with prices, while other farmers who
] have inferior grades are depressed
land displeased, and no doubt we are
going to see farmers make a great
effort to make better quality this
year than last and we are hoping
for good crop for it is badly need
| ed.
| Practically all farmers have COM
pleted sowing seed for this years
crop and their beds have been can
vassed and the warm spring like
weather is causing plants to come up
and no doubt the crop will be plant
ed early if weather conditions con-
| tinue favorable.
! We hear that the Planters Associ-
alton have sold something like 100
hhds of leai tobacco during the past
week and that they have some deals
on foot that may develop in to some
very much larger sales in the near
| future.

The Platform of "7he Gang"
In the Candidacy of DR.. Fox

is not merely as a political, religious,
and fraternal enterprise; it calls for
expert knowledge and ability of the
highest order. A town is business
corporation and all the people are
stockholders. 1t is doing business
along many lines. 1t is spending
thousands OF the peoples money. 1t
Is frequently bonding unborn genera,
tions for public improvements. And
necessarily must have competent men
at the head of it; men whom you
would trust as the president and di-
rectors of your commercial enterprises.
Which means the business of the City
of Paris, if it is to prosper and keep
pace with other SIMILAR cities, must
be operated on a plan of efficiency,
economy, aggressiveness and progress,
instead of simply on plan of civic
ally, religiously, politically, and fra
ternally". If the latter were to prevail
only, we might as we'll elect men to
city administrative positions because
they are bald-headed, or sing bass.
If DR.. Fox has any capabilities
other than "civically, religiously, polit-
Tally, and fraternally", the "old gang"
that is doing all his electioneering
should tell the people of such capa-
bilities. The matter is one that should
be handled on its merit from stand
point of competency.
The inconsistency of the "old city
gang" in the candidacy of DR.. Fox, is
as pronounced as their cumbersome,
impractical, expensive and very un-
satisfactory and extravagant plan of
city operation, compared with present
day demands. and efficiency.

Hank Gowdy, World War hero,
famous Big League Catcher, and
popular celebrity with all of Nation
al fandom, will make his appearance
in Paris on Barton Diamond, April 4,
when the Boston Base Ball Club
will play an exhibition game here
Seeing Hank Gowdy is worth long
journey by itself. He was the first
of the big leaguer's to answer the
call of his country, and he made as
brilliant a record for courage and
bravery overseas, as he has made in
base ball circles.
The manager of the Boston Braves
writes Mr. Lawrence of the Dixie,
who is engineering the appearance
of the Big League Club in Paris,
that he will use first string catchers
on both teams in the game, and that
Paris will certainly have the oppor-
tunity of seeing one real big league
game.
The Boston Braves, just now fol
lowing their spring training are in
tip top shape and rearing to go'.
Paris will see them at their best
full of pep fresh, and all ready for
great season.
| The Boston Club ranks with the
tip-top pennant winning leagues,
and in it's string of some forty odd
players, carries many base ball stars.

or collectively, except the gang" and

on your face, and no one has attempt
ed to deny the fact that DR.. Fox Is
such candidate.
DIR. Fox will get very few votes
he would possibly be able to get more
II his candidacy were bona-fide. AS it
Is he cannot consistently ask, nor ex-
pect, the vote of those who would
even ordinarily support him in an un-
dertaking.
The only platform that has been
announced for DIR Fox, is based on an
article in The Post-Intelligencer, laud-
ing him at length and stating his
platform as "civically, religiously, po-
jlitically and fraternally."
Thus, the author OF his platform
has eliminated the real accomplish
ment which the residents of the city
are overwhelmingly insisting upon
, a business government by business
men.

"Why don't the gang put out a
full ticket. with aldermen on it,, is
a question that has frequently been
asked.
There are many reasons-too nu-
merous to mention. Everybody
knows "The gang" is overwhelming
ly defeated; the people have moth
ing in mind right now but to repu-
diate their administration.
The "old gang" is either afraid
to run for fear of defeat, or they
can't get anybody to run in their
steads, (because anyone who would
be susceptible knows the result from
the brand.) The gang, too, real
lied that in these two instances the
twilight zone between ignominous
defeat and precipitate retreat was
but vaguely concealed.
1t liz rather unusual that the
gang" is putting such a pronuncia-
tion on the office of mayor. The
Freeman-P rter-DunIap-Lamb crowd
would have the people believe that
me city government is monarchy,
