Rent-Profteering in New Orleans.

The New Orleans newspapers
have inaugurated vigorous cam
paign against the rent profteers, who
are designated as "rent-hogs' in that
city. Much space is devoted each
day to an expose of the steady in
creaserin rents which have been going
On there during the past two or three
years, in some instances amounting
to more than 100 per cent. The
press takes the view that these in
creases are absolutely unwarranted in
the face of the cut in wages and
general reduction in the prices of
merchandise of all kinds. A plan
is on foot to call tenants strike, by
which they will refuse to pay the in
crease rents. Many of the victims
declare that they will leave the city
unless some action is taken to curb
the ''rent-hogs." The legislature will
be asked to pass stringent laws
regulating the profits of those who
have property for rent, the same as
exist IN other states. It is said that
homes are being broken up and busi-
ness demoralized by the unparalleled
raise in rents.

Fish are unusually plentiful this

Fish are unusually plentiful this
year. All of the bayous, lakes, canals
and other streams in this section, are
said to abound with the finny tribe
in great numbers. There are fishing
parties every day and very large
catches are reported by all. Grand
Bayou, which is one Of the most pop
ular fishing places in this vicinity, is
the mecca of the greatest number of
fishermen. Here, trout, sac-a-lait
and perch are taken in large guam
titles every day. The fish are of an
exceptionally fine quality and highly
relished by all.

the addressee at 1920 a. na., July Z,

Ferry Waiting Room Disgrace.

The waiting room at the ferry
landing at Westwego in the parish
of Jefferson, is perhaps the dirtiest
and filthiest building in the state, un-
fit for animals much less for human
beings to inhabit, and a danger to
the health of those who must enter
it to seek shelter from rain or the
heat of the sun. The floor is covered
with dirt and filth, veritable breed
ing place for vernim, and a sickening
stencil fills the nostrils of those who
must enter it. The few openings in
the building have neither sash nor
shutters and the place on the whole
is disgrace to the community.
This building belongs to the COM
pany which operates the. ferry, and
the board of health should see to it
that it is cleaned and kept clean and
in a sanitary condition or removed
altog ether. Due consideration for
public health demands that this mat
ter be given attention at once.

Advance In Cotton Is Followed Again
 By Break In Price

NEW YORK, Sept. 12. - The cot ton market today experienced anoth- CT feverish day, an early advance be- ing followed by violent break in prices.
 October contracts 'sold off from 215O at the opening to 1850 where the decline was checked by the maxi mum fluctuations rule. Later months showed losses of from S6.50 to SS.YO per pale, as compared with the early high levels.
 The effect of today's storm news which had been responsible for Sat urday's big advance, .yas evident in the sensational strength of Liverpool before the opening of the American markets today. but private adyices from the southwest were reassuring as to the extent of the damage to coz ton.
 The tropical storm was reported passing out to sea, and an early adj vance of some 20 to 75 points in the local market met heavy general liqui- dation. The decline was held in check below the 20 cent level for near months by trade buying which was accompanied by reports that man ufactUrers werecalling a good deal of cotton.
 Last prices were a few points up from the lowest on covering but tae undertone of the market remaineu nervous and unsettled with finar prices showing losses of 80 to 12O points as compared with Saturday s closing quotations.

 Another turbulent session in the cotton market and some reduction of available call and time funds also fig dred in the unstable but fairly eX- .ensive dealings. Sales approximated 100000 shares.
 Last weeks favorites Of the oil, steel, equipment and motor groups, notably Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin and American Locomotives, Bern,v nem, CrucIble and United States SLeels, and Studebaker sustained net losses of one to 31a points.
 Sugars, tobaccos, chemicals and shippings also registered declines of 1 to 4 points. Metals and feathers displayed firmness, the latter De>,,s helped by declaration of regular divi- dends on Endicott Johnson.

 Dealers in exchange were prepared for the additional slump in German exchange, London quoting a new low record before the opening of this mar ket. French, Belgian, Italian and Spanish bills also were down, but Swiss and Scandinavian rates moved against this center, and Argentine re- mittances improved on prospects of . loan by our bankers.
