Information de Mercados.
semana de enerQ 8 enero 10 de 1928.

Cafe:-El mercado de cafe sigue en-
ilas mismas condolences reportadas en-
nuestro informe anterior. Con excep-
cion de Maricao, Coamo y Patillas, Sc
mantiene firme en- todos los demas
pueblos de la isla, precios que fiuc-
tdan entire $17.0o v $1,000 quintal.
Hay buena demanda, tanto asi, que en-
algunos puntos aquellos agricultores
que estaban en- condolences de poder
aguantar ell grano sin necesidad de
forzar su venta, esperan obtener ma
yores precios aun por las eXistencias
que tienen almacenadas. Estos, des-
de luego, son casos aislados, puesto
| que la mayoria de los agricultores han
tenido que disponer de su production
para atender a sus compromises.
AlgOdon:-De acuerdo con los cal
culos del Departamento de Agricultu-
IA de Washington, la production de
algodon en- los Estados Unidos, duran
tie la cosecha 1922 1928, alcanza a
E9,964,00 de pacas de 500 libras brutas.
Esta ha sido la cosecha mas pequeia
de dicho -textil durante los 1ltimos
veinte amos, 81 Sc exceptda la del aio
pasado.
El mercado contin1a muy firme. Mu-
chas, de las fabricas en- el Sur Sc en-
cuentran en- situacion sumamente en-
barazosa, va que debido la rapida
absorcion de las existencias que Sc
ofrecen en- el mercado, Sc les esta ha-
ciendo dificil proveerse del textil para
poder cumplimentar las ordenes que
de articulos de algodon tienen recibi-
das.
Az1car:-Calculos preliminares de
la cosecha de Cuba practicados po1
Guma-Mejer, fijan esta en- 4,193,O00
toneladas. Algunos consideran que
este compute tendera inf1uir en- el
mercado en- sentido de darle mas fir
meza, en- vista de que computes an
teriores, no., ofciales, pero basados en-
una cuidadosa observation personal de
las condolences de la isla, fjaban la
cosecha en- 100000 toneladas.
Ell mercado de New York de az1caI
crudo Sc mantiene quieto. La poca
] idemanda del refinado junto con la Gre
ciente production y la consiguiente
acumulacion de existencia en- Cuba
hace que los vendedores Sc muestren
mas ansiosos de disponer de sus azu-
cares ahora que al principle de la CO.
secha, y este, desde luego, lie resta
firrneza al mercado.
COcos:-El mercado de ~eocos sigue
completamente inactive. En- algrmos
fpueblos de la isla hay tumbados ha-
ce tempo una regular cantidad Gle CO.
cos sin que hasta ,el presente hayan
podido encontrar compradores.

MYSTERY IN DEATH
Or GA. R. VETERANS
Had Been Dead Week When
Found-Many Clues Un-
earthed by Police.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, October 15.-
Two Cleveland civil war veterans,
Samuel Harvey. seventy-six, and
Horace W. Upson, seventy-seven.
were found dead in house near the
Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home, at
Sandusky. yesterday. They had been
dead since last Monday or Tuesday,
according to DIR. S. j. Lablicq, cor
oner of Erie county.
Mystery surrounds the death of the
veterans, according to word received
here. Because both men were black
in the face, Erie county authorities
pointed out that death might have
resulted from Strangulation, asphyx-
iation or poison.
Coroner Leblicq. after a prelim-
mary examination, advanced these
four theories:
That the pair were murdered by
attendants, many OF whom are
paroled prisoners from Mansfield.
Ohio. reformatory. with robbery as
the motive. OF S72 pension money
drawn by Harvey and $50 drawn by
Epson about ten days ago only about
$1l was found between them today.
Tha: one killed the other and then
committed suicide after a quarrel over
game of cards. A cribbage board
ana CdruS were StreWn about the room.
May Have Been Poisoned.
That they might have been poisoned.
A small quantity of what the coroner
believes is liquor was found in the
shack, and has been taken for analysis
That they might have been overcome
from fumes of a coal stove, the damper
of which was shut off
The bodies We're discovered by Neal
Douglass, another inmate of the home
and close friend of Harvey. Not hav-
ing seen the latter since Monday, Doug
lass went in search of him.
The hut is located at bonneville, a
settlement near the home composed
largely of small shacks and shanties
used by some of the inmates as sleep
ing quarters

A Solid Growth

America has changed a lot since
, Chris Columbus sought her shores.
and sailed the trackless seas and
fought with mutineers and other
bores. Columbus found an emDtv
land, long wide stretch of sand
and loam; there wasn't cen a pea
nut stand to give the sailor Wei
come Home. Some savages were on
the beach whose looks brought
frowns to Chris brow; in all their
ranks there was no peach like those
who haunt the seashore now There
were no up-to-date hotels, as far as
human eye could gaze, no realtors
were wearing bells or selling lots
to easy jays. No oil promoters
thronged the strand to touch him
for his good long green, and sell
him options on the land that fairly
reeked with kerosine. If Christie
pher could come again and see the
country as it is, and mark its store
of iron men, he'd doubtless yell and
say Gee, whiz p He well might
spring a Spanish oath or cuss,
while nm. Portuguese, if he beheld
our solid growth since he first found
us in the seas. No other country is
so great, and nothing can our
growth retard; we're first in oil and
real estate, in liberty and law and
lard.

trained in Lorraine and the Saar will
be adequate. Also the ministry of
public works has prepared a veritable
industrial mobilization of engineers
and foremen destined to insure the
industrial life of the Ruhr basin.
'Resistance Means Separation"
''If the resistance continues in the
end the Ruhr valley will have to be
separated from the rest of Germany
economically. Administrative ties with
Berlin will have to be severed and
new money may have to be intro
duced. either in the shape of local
marks, or a new thaler, or d combined
system of marks and francs, as in the
Saar basin. The Ruhr basin thus iso-
lated would be attached to the Rhine
land, with which 1t will form an
economic unit with plenty of iron and
coal, with an exit to the sea by way
of Antwerp and Rotterdam, and with
sufficient fiscal resources to pay the
cost of administration.
"The interalIied arrangement of
1919, which ties Frances hands In
the Rhineland more or less, IS IN
operative in the Ruhr region. II the
German government persists in fore
ing economic disintegration this may,
in the end, entail also the weakening
of German political unity. viii Ger
many proceed light-heartedly to place
this formidable weapon in French
hands?
Such are Frances trumps and they
will be played firmly. The French
government has no illusions regard
ing eventual difficulties. The economic
battle in the Ruhr is regarded as a
test of patience and endurance. No
foreign intervention will be tolerated.
The Franco German duel has begun
and must continue until one or the
other of the adversaries surrenderS
or until both f.ll exhausted.

EmbaIn1ed Beef
YearsOld,
Well Preserved
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LUXOR, Egypt, January 10
What is believed to be the Oldest
specimens of canned beef in the
world have been discovered by
excavators in the tomb of King
Tutenkhamun. While 1t was not
wholly palatable, being $3.50 years
old, the meat is in an excellent
state of preservation.
The meat had been embalmed and
was contained in elliptical recep-
tacles resembling huge Easter
eggs, forty of which were removed
from the tomb amid the deep in
terest of crowd of tourists. Still
other meats found were launches
of veniSon, trussed ducks and
joints of game. These were packed
in wooden boxes, shaped according
to the nature of the contents.
Noticeable among this discovery
was a giant duck.
The excavators also removed to-
day four bronze candlesticks of
great beauty. One OF them con-
tanned a perfectly preserved candle.
