Cuban Loan Prospects

Despite all OF the discussions rela-
tive to the projectd Cuban loan, it does
not appear that permanent financing in
this market on behalf of the Cuban
government viii come as soon as gen
orally expected. AS matters now stand
it may be several months befora the
way has been smoothed for the fnaac-
ing machinery to proceed. One Of the
things most needed at present to facili-
tate the flotation of loan, it is said
is for the Cuban government 10 bal
ance its budget, task which the new
administration at Havana has set out
to accomplish as soon as possible. Ii
the meantime temporary financing will
likely be arranged to tide the govern
ment over until the permanent fnanc-
ing has been put through.

Cuba's Big Sugar Carry-Over

The sugar market situation in Cuba
Will get worse before it gets better
according to persons who have made q
close study Of current conditions on
the island. Unable to sell its staple
crop, raw sugar, Cuba faces d pros
pect of carrying over 100000 tons o.
last years crop, and to make matters
worse. the new crop is near at hand !;
in fact, couple of months VIII see the
beginning OF the new grinding season.
Although the growing crop is large, it
IS expected that much Of it VIII never
be harvested because Of the extremely
adverse marketing conditions Those
who have seen the situation in Cuba al
first hand say that it VIII take o least
another year before stability has been
restored and business there gets back
to more nearly normal basis

In Wall Street
Waiting for Strike Developments

With the prospect of tie-up OF the
country's transportation lines staring
it in the face, Wall Street has adopted
more or less of a waiting attitude, and
the consummation of considerable
business is being held up until the air
has been cleared of this uncertainty
The air of hesitation is noticeable
about the district wherever one goes
and the Street is spending most of its
time these days swapping opinions
relative to the threatening strika.
The Effect Upon the Credit Situation
The effects of general railroad
strike upon the credit situation would
be extremely interesting to watch. 1t
was predicted by q competent judge of
the banking position that tie-up Of
transportation would tend to loosen
credits up at New York since the ship
ment of goods here from the interior
would be halted, thus obviating the
necessity of drawing upon local banks
to pay for such goods. The belief was
expressed that strike would have the
effect of pushing up the reserve ratio
Of the local Federal Reserve Bank
rapidly On the other hand. in the in
terror of the country conditions would
be reversed. There the banks would
be called upon to meet the strain Of
financing manufacturers and producers
who, because of the interruption Of
service on the railroads. would find it
impossible to get their goods to market
and would have to seek financial as
sistance from their banks during the
emergency period. Taking the coun-
try as a whole, it was thought the ef-
the reserve ratio of the Federal Re
serve system. SO far as the banking
situation goes pressure against the
banks for emergency credits could be
taken care of much easier than year
ago, when the country was in the throes
of the reaGjustment of the credit
structure.

Rabbit and Tar Baby

Once upon a time a rabbit, a fox
The fox had a fine melon patch,
which he allowed no one to touch.
/ One morning, as he was walking
in his garden, he saw tracks and
knew that some one had been
stealing his melons. Every day
he saw fresh tracks, and although
he watched and watched, he never
could catch anyone.
He told his trouble TO the coon,
who said he was sure the rabbit
was the thief. SO the fox made a
little tar baby and set it in his gar
den-patch. When the moon rose
the rabbit stole out of his house
and made for the melon patch.
When he saw the tar baby stand
ing there he called out, Who's
that standing there ready to steal
the fine melons," But the tar
baby said nothing Then the rab-
bit got angry and hit the tar baby
but his hand stuck fast in the
tar. Then the rabbit said, Let me
go or | will hit you with my other
hand" But the tar baby said
nothing and the other hand was
soon in the tar also. 1t was the
same with the first foot and then
the other When the fox came
along he found the rabbit stuck
far into the tar baby The fox took
him from the tar and carried him
to the coOn's house, and said,
Here's the man who stole my mel
ons. What shall | do with him?"
The coon took the fox aside and
SAID ASK him whether he'd rather
be thrown into the fire or the briar
patch, and whichever he takes
throw him into the other"
The rabbit overheard them, and
when they gave him his choice, he
said, please don't throw me into
the brlar patch, because | will be
all scratched up; throw me into the
fire"
SO, the fox lifted him up and
threw him into the briar. Then the
rabbit kicked up his heels and
laughed and called back, Good
by Fox" and Farewell, Coon!"

danger signals, had been taken
away by some miscellaneous boys.
Billy, who could see well in the
dark, perceived this ditch as he
came to it and leapcd lightly over
it, but the excited gcndarmes who
were following him. could not sec
it, and the whole crowd OF them
fell headlong in the ditch, which,
fortunately. was nc. deep enough
TO hurt them much.
Billy turned nod into another
well-lighted street Now he began
to wonder why all Of these little
fellows in the red trousers were
such enemies Of his, and when, at
the end Of the block, he saw three
Of them standing in row, he got
angry. Shaking his head, he deter
mined to give the big one in the
middle the hardest bump he had
ever given to anyone in his life.
Lowering his head and shaking it,
he went on as if he had been shot
out of a cannon, and, as he drew
near, gave mighty jump at the
big gendarme.
Alas for Billy, In place of the
soft human figure that he thought
he was butting, it turned out that
the gendarme in the middle was
printed in glowing colOrs on paper
and pasted against a solid brick
wall, as an advertisement for q
play then performing at one OF the
theaters. The two gendarmes who
had happened to stand alongside
of it were real, however, so when
Billy dropped back stunned from
his hard jolt the two real gen
darmes promptly arrested him, and
it was a very sick and sorry goat
that was shortly afterwards re
turned to the express department
to be held for the Havre train.

ways had to work. When Thanks
giving came. Helen told Mary and
her mother to come over to her

was lighted. And then they began
to go out of the house. and Helen
SAID, please don't go; my mother
wants you to stay" And so they
stayed And think what was on
the table! Turkey, popcorn, candy,
apples, oranges. cakes and every
thing you can think of.
And there were lots of girls and
ladies', and they were having a fine
time dancing, playing and singing.
And when they went to the table
TO eat, o, how good everything
tasted, and the turkey-oh, how
Mary liked it! And that was the
best supper she ever had in her life
Then Helen's father gave Mary's
mother a good deal of money. so
they lived happy ever after.-fThe

The cat had tried to dart around
the new gendarme, but the gen
darme's legs came right in his
road, so the cat began to climb the
gendarme, and Billy. coming up
just then, made a dive head first
at the cat. The gendarme sat right
down with a grunt to think things
over, while the cat sprang for the
top of a high fence and was over
with a whisk Of his tail, Billy
could not climb the fence. so he

this time the gendarme he had
knocked down was on his feet

There were now five of the littls

Billy. They tried to surround him
but he ran through them, and all
five of them chased at T. him up

All this time there was great eX-
element at the railroad station.
Mr. Brown had left word that his
goat was to be held until the next
nights train to Havre, as he in
tended to spend the day in Paris,
but the express department had no
noat to hold, so the matter was re
ported to the police department,
and within few moments all the
gendarmes of Paris were looking
for a miscellaneous white goat with
freshly singed spots on his shiny
coat.
One of these gendarmes, soon
after he had received his instruc-
tions, found Billy and a big stray
Tom cat cycling each other with
every intention OF immediate war.
Billy had never spoken to a cat be
fore and so, when he saw this
strange animal on the street he
walked straight up to it and said
"Baah!" He intended to mean
something like our Good evening,
it's pleasant weather, isn't it,"
But Billy's voice at best was not a
very gentle one and his long horns
looked threatening, so the big cat
arched his back and bristled his
hair and stuck his tail straight up.
Billy did not know much about
cats, but he could easily see that
this one meant fight, so he shook

many ladies and gentlemen were
seated at little round tables under
the broad awning.
Just as the gendarme recognized
Billy by his singed coat, the cat let
out an ear-splitting meow" and,
jumping up, scratched Billy's face
with the sharp claws of both his
forefeet; then it sprang up on one
of the empty tables and down on
the other side. Billy, smarting
with pain, jumped after him, up
setting the chairs on the other side
with a crash. The express depart
ment had offered a good reward to
whoever SnOulu llnu Dllly, ~ INC
gendarme took after the goat. over
turning some more chairs. The
cat darted here and there and ev-
erywhere among the little round
tables and Billy right after him.
The cat ran under a table at which
were sitting two gentlemen and
two ladies, and Billy, now so angry
that he did not notice where he
was going, forced his way right
after him, upsetting the table, spill
ing the glasses and bottles upon
it into the laps Of the ladies and
making a tremendous noise. Table
after table they overturned in this
way.
Another gendarme. attracted by
the hubbub, came up and saw
Billy. He. too, gave chase, adding
to the confusion. Everybody began
to shove back their chairs. All
of the people were either talking or
laughing or screaming at the top OF
their voices. Walters came run

citable man with a funny little

All he got for it was good bump
right in the middle of his big white
apron and he landed back against
another waiter who was bringing
a big tray full of glasses. The two
of them went to the floor together
in a noisy pile of tables and chairs
and Billy dashed right on over
them. This time, the cat, which
was bewildered by the crowd and
had scarcely known which way to
run, found an opening to the street.
Having a clear track, he would
easily have gotten away from Billy
except that just at that moment
third gendarme saw the cat and
the goat coming and jumped square
in the road of them.
