morning. Trading remained dull
and the market held about steady
on the basis of 11.So for. May early
in. the afternoon. The drop in for
eign exchange led to freer offerings
late in the day, prices easing to
11.50 for May. or about % points
below the previous close. Cover
ing and buying for mill account
rallied the list near the. lend. Finai
quotations showed a net loss of
points to an advance OF points.

ding points lower at f1.50. There
were no sales. Spot at New Orleans
was quiet with the revised quota
ton for midding fixed at 1910; the
sales were 439 bales

upon to pay for losses, caused by pack
ages not being wrapped, or boxed prop
erly, they would soon understand that
they were as much responsible as the
public carriers. These losses run into the
millions dollars annually and in turn
the burden falls back upon the people
because the railroad companies must ex-
act high freight charges to counteract the
losses. That is perfectly natural and it
is only by educating the packers (which is
the public in reality), to the urgent need
for them to see that each parcel is prop
erly wrapped as the case might be.
This is quite a serious matter and the
general public could do much to effect a
saving Of millions of dallars which will
eventually rebound to a reduction in
freight rates. Let all who ship goods
out of New Iberia take heed and help the
railroads correct this abuse.

BoorLEcc1Nc RAID.

What was expected to happen in New
Iberia many months ago, in the nature Of
= raid on bootlegging took place in New
Iberia last Saturday morning when pro-
hibition officers out Of New Orleans took
full possession Of the restaurant and
home Of Mr.. John Musemeche on Iberia
Street. These officers first came into
New Iberia the day the Hagenback Cir
Gus exhibited here and being taken for
men connected with the show, experienced
no trouble in buying the goods. The
raid was postponed to later date and on
Saturday they went through his place
and destroyed probably couple Of
thousand dollars worth Of "home brew"
M. .Musemeche entered no protest, but
let them have their way. After the
goods were DESTROYED, he was notified to
report At New Orleans on Monday,
which he did and while there bond was
fired ratil the United States Court can
find time to impose fine. It is repor-
ted that he was fined $4,000. We have
reason to believe he has never yet been
fined, as the impression prevails. The
Landry restaurant was also invaded by
the officers. but nothing was found the
day Of the raid and Ralph Landrv who
also reported at New Orleans on Monday
was turned free.
The following liquor, owned by Muse
meche was destroyed: IS gallon dimi-
john Of wine in store room. Is gallon
ing corn whisky, gallon jugs corr
whisky, 50 gallon barrel corn whisky
in kitchen, 4 is gallon kegs Of wine, rs
gallon dimiiohn Of wine; 50 gallon

eous gifts of silver, china and crystal.
They left to make their home in Wilkins
