A Real Good Show.

COOPER BROS SHOWS will visit
Oakland, Tuesday, May 20, for two
performances. With each successive
season one looks forward to the visits
Of the various tented aggregations
that travel the country for the amuse-
ment Of the people and no show is
ever more heartily welcome than
Cooper Bros. They have made rep
Utation for themselves by giving the
people a good high-Class entertain
ment which appeals to all as inter-
esting, amusing and instructive. Ev-
erybody loves horses and ponies. More
especially does this apply to the la
dies who with the little ones are the
most loyal patrons. They are assured
Of the highest form of entertainment
free from everything at all calculated
to offend the most sensitive. In ad-
dition to the trained animal features
Cooper Bros. have the very best of
lady and gentlemen performers. The
performing elephants and rare wild
beasts, Banty Bunny, the cute baby
elephant, the good night pony, to-
gether with the many prancing ponies
in military drills and marches are es-
pecially pleasing to the little ones.
The funny clowns, the many beauti-
full lady artists, the feature acts by
the worlds greatest gymnast, Mile.
Roberts, in her death defying act in
mid-air, the like of which has never
been witnessed, will live long in men,
ory when many other shows have

BALTIMORE. April Especially
Bankers and Industrial leaders are

Though still conservative in their
forecast they are practically unit
in predicting that at least large
an output and consumption will be
witnessed this year rs last year
and that profits will be greater be.
cause Of the higher efficiency Of labor.
Conditions in the Baltimore dis
trict sound There is no unen1-

prices are stabilized in most lines. So
far as credit is concerned, the sit
uation was never stronger. There
is an abundance Of loanable funds.
Merchants and manufacturers are
not borrowing extensively for two
reasons. First, most Of them have
plenty OF cash on hand and are using
their own funds with which to finance
their purchases. Second, inventories
are low and do not require such large
amounts Of money to carry them as in
former years. Production and con-
sumption are said to be more even
ly balanced than ever before.
Trade during the hrst quarter OF
the current year in and around Belti-
more showed moderate increase
compared with a year ago, and it is
predicted that tax reduction will fur

WORLD RECORD CROP
OF SUGAR is FORECAST
Reports to Department Of Agricul.
ture Indicate Production of
21,6oo.ooo Short Tons.

A record world sugar crop is fore
cast in reports received by the De-
partment Of Agriculture, indicating a
production of 21,s0O, 900 short tons
this year as compared with 2O,400, 900
short tons last year and the previous
record crop of 21,000,000 short tons
in 1914.
This years forecast indicates q cane
production Of II per cent and q sugar
beet production OF 20 per cent, where
as in 1894 nearly 50 per cent Of the
total supply was beet sugar, Of which
more than 80 per cent Was Of Euro
pean origin.
Cane sugar production increased
rapidly during and after the war to
compensate for the decreased beet
sugar production in central Europe.
European countries. the department
says, are expected to attempt to re-
gain their pre-war position in sugar
production, but there is no indication
of any intention of cane sugar pro-
ducers to give up the dominant posi-
tion in the world sugar market which
they have attained in the last ten
years. Consequently, agricultural Of
ficials say, sharp competition for mar
kets Is to be expected within the next
few years between producers Of cane
and beet sugar.
Beet sugar production this. year. Is
expected to be about 100000 tons;
the Cuban crop of cane sugar Is fore
cast at 4,271,000 tons. The Louisiana
crop is short, but is more than Offset
by the larger beet sugar production
Of continental United States.
