Congressman-Elect Griest Participates. Further Action Taken on Tariff Rsvision. Senate and House Petitioned to Maintain Present Duty. Resolutions Forwarded. On Thursday last a number of Penn- sylvania's tobacco growers went before Senator Penrose in his office in the Arcade Building and presented argu- ments against the admission of Philip- pine tobacco free, or even under a much reduced duty. The delegation consisted of B. Ezra Herr, President; M. L. Greider, Vice President, and George L. Hibschman, Secretary, {of the Lancaster County To- bacco Growers' Association. Mr. Grei- der is County Commissioner of Lancas- ter. They were accompanied by Con- gressman H. Burd Cassell, of the Lan- caster district, and Congressman-elect W. W. Greist. Stress was laid upon the ease with which Sumatra tobacco can be smug- gled into the Philippines, repacked there and then exported to this country and entered here as the Philippine pro- duct if the duty were removed from the latter. It was declared that the whole armed force of the United States could not prevent this being done. Senator Penrose informed the dele- gation that he felt assured that as a member of the Finance Commitee of the Senate he would be able to see that they were properly protected. He said the reasons which they gave for con- tinuing the duties on Philippine tobacco were unanswerable. Incidentally, be declared himself also as opposed to any change in the sugar schedule that would militate against the independent beet sugar industry in the West. REPEATED BLOWS TO THE INDUSTRY. Mr. Herr, in the course of his argu- ment, said : "By the result of the Spanish War three tobacco countries came into our possession— Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands. We made many concessions for them in many ways by the lowering of duties in their favor. We tobacco men suffered severely, not only from the lowering of duties en their products, but by the lowering of duties on Sumatra tobacco. We were then raisers of wrapper goods, but the lowering of the duty on Sumatra drove us completely out of that field. We then changed our modes and are now producing fillers, in fact, the only field left open to us. By the lowering of duties on Cuba and Porto Rico tobacco we were again assailed in our stand- point, for from raising fillers we have no retreat. There is nothing left us lower than that in the tobacco field. "Now comes this attack, proposing the lowering of duties on Philippine tobacco. This reduction would affect the great States of Pennsylvania and Ohio more than any other in the Union, for their chief tobacco crop is fillers. So is the crop of the Philippines. Give them a lower duty and our industry is ruined. MAGNITUDE OF THE INTEREST. "We are no small producers. Be tween the years 1860 and 1907, a period of 47 years.cur crop in Lancaster county has varied frcm 35,000 to 75,000 cases per annum, grown on from 14,000 to 18,000 acres, and has brought into our country $80,000,000 in cash— a larger sum of money than was ever realized from tobacco in the same area in any country in the world except Sumatra. The ninth internal revenue district, of which ours is the chief portion, has in the last seven years paid to the Govern- ment in the tax on tobacco $17,377,343. We manufactured in the year 1906 801,- 399,420 cigars. This is the banner cigar manufacturing district in the United States. "Is this industry not worth protect- ing? Verily it is, and that is why I am sent here by my fellow farmers to enter our solemn protest against the lowering of this duty. WOULD STRENGTHEN THE TRUST. "We have been made a promise that trusts, especially the Tobacco Trust, shall be held in check. Reducing this tax will give them the field in the Philippine Islands, and they have the whip hand over Pennsylvania and Ohio. They can snap their fingers at us and say they can get fillers elsewhere. You see the condition of affairs in Ken- tucky. Tobacco can scarcely be raised there now at a profit. If you lower this duty thousands upon thousands of my fellow farmers will be in the same condition. I am sure my constituents had no idea when they gave Judge Taft 16,000 majority that the reduction of duties would be on those things which compete with what we produce from the soil. It was the manufactured article that was to be made cheaper. "Again, if you grant this reduction of duty what will prevent Sumatra from smuggling tobacco into the Philip- pine Islands and passing it here free as Philippine tobacco? The present army of the United States is not large enough to guard those islands in such a way as to prevent it." LANCASTER'S PROTEST. The formal protest of the Lancas- ter County Tobacco Growers' Associa- tion was presented by Vice President Greider. Senator Penrose said to the delega- tion, after the arguments had been pre- sented : "I think you must exert every in- fluence that you can among these hun- dreds of thousands of people who are interested in the tobacco industry to see that the proper representations are made to their Senators. I was disap- pointed last winter that so little interest was manifested in this subject when it was before the Philippines Committee. The brunt of the fight seemed to be en- tirely left to the Connecticut tobacco growers. "The arguments presented here have been clearly set forth and are, in my opinion, unanswerable." Hartford, Conn., Dec. 31. A meeting of tobacco men living in New England was held this week on the invitation of Fred B. Griffin, of Poquonock, acting in behalf of the Con- necticut Valley Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade. Members of the New England Tobacco Growers* Association, of the Hartford County Tobacco Growers' Protective Association and of various organizations were present. There were also present growers not actively as- sociated with any tobacco organization. The meeting was held in the Supreme Court room, and Jos. C. MitcheJson pre sided, occupying the chair of Chief Jus- tice Baldwin. President James S. For- bes and Secretary William K. Ackley of the Hartford County Tobacco Grow- ers' Protective Association, sat at his left. Hector Chapman, of Glastonbury, United States Senator Morgan G. Bul- keley and four others sat at the Su- preme Court bench. The attendance was fully 200. Mr. Mitchelson gave an explanation of why the meeting was held, calling attention to the necessity of a duty on the Philippine tobacco which should protect the great tobacco crop and trade. He called on Mr. Griffin, who acted as secretary, to read a resolution which had already been passed at a like meet- ing held the Friday before Christmas and which in a slightly changed form was before the gathering. THE RESOLUTIONS. Marcus L. Floyd of Tariffville, of- fered a long preamble and resolution. The preamble started off with the fol- lowing : "The incoming administration is pledged to a revision of the present tar- iff and for the purpose of ascertaining from various industries of this country the views of those engaged in the many branches of enterprise, the Committee on Ways and Means of the United States Congress have fixed and given special days to the hearing of those in- terested in industries affected by im- port duties." The preamble goes on to tell about hearings which the committee held.and it concludes with the following : "Be it Resolved, That we do most earnestly request that our Representa- tives and Senators use every legitimate means in their power to maintain the present rate of duty on all tobacco im- ported into this country, and endeavor to defeat any measure looking to the free introduction of Philippine tobacco." The preamble and the resolution are practically a copy of those passed by the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Board of Trfide at a meeting held December 18. The meeting proceeded to organiza- tion on the motion of John A. DuBon, of Poquonock,andThaddeu8 Graves was selected as chairman. DISCUSSION. Colonel Ellsworth N. Phelps, of Wind- Bor,[moved that the preamble and reso- lution be taken up and discussed. The first article and in fact ail of the pre- amble were explained as introductory to the resolution which was read anew. Colonel Phelps said that he under- stood that the Committee on Ways and Means had closed its hearing and that the resolution might not get before the committee. Mr. HILL CALLED ON. Congressman E. J. Hill was present. He was called on by Colonel Fhelps. He said that the committee bad gone exhaustively into the matter. It had sat from 9 a. m. and again from 2 p. m. to 7 if desired and later to 12 midnight if necessary. Mr. Hill said that he was not able to answer whether any further briefs sub- mitted would be printed and accepted by the Committee on Ways and Means. Still briefs could be sent in to members individually and would probably be ac- cepted and read by these members. If briefs were sent in, Mr. Hill would recommend that eleven copies be sent. DUTY ON CIGARS. Congressman Hiil went at detail into the history of the hearings before the committee. About 5 p. m., December 16, Francis E. Hamilton, of New York, appeared before the committee, assert- ing that he represented Park & Tilford and other importers in New York city who were interetsed in Cuban tobacco. Mr. Hamilton wanted $2.25 duty on cigars. Mr. Hamilton wished more revenue for the Goveinment and a better and cheaper article for the consumer. Im- porters could sell more goods at a lower cost. Mr. Hill read from a printed report in full of the statemeirt made by Mr. Hamilton and the answers made by him to questions which members of the committee asked. GAIN FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. In a brief which Mr. Hamilton sub- mitted it was argued that at the lower rates which he asked for the Govern- ment would gain $5,000,000. Turkish Cigarette Tobacco. A firm of Turkish cigarette manu- facturers has addressed the Governor of Kentucky to aid in having Turkish tobacco grown in that State. The firm states that the importations of this to- bacco increased to nearly $4,000,000 last year, against only $25,000 twelve years ago. It adds that the cheapest Turkish tobacco is sold in New York at 65 cents per pound, not including 35 cents duty, making $1 per pound, which may be obtained. E. A.

Xeaf Tobacco Packing Formally Started by A. Cohn 4 Co. Madison, Wis., Jan. 2. The tobacco sorting season in Madison <:ommenced Monday, when the big A. Cohn & Co. warehouse at East Madison became the scene of lively operations. One hundred girls and forty men were employed, and more will be engaged. The season here will, it is said, last about six months. The Cohn firm has another plant at Footville. The average price of tobacco is 10 cents. The Ameri- can Cigar Company at West Madison will start operations on Jan. 10. The <;ompany has advertised for 500 girls ■and no trouble is anticipated in getting them. Men also are employed, but girls are more in favor for sorting. Manager W. T. Jefferson crediting them i^vith more expertness in this process than men. In the winter months hun- dreds of persons finding it difficult to get work in other occupations, and de- sirous of warm and comfortable quar- ters, turn to the tobacco companies for work. Good wages are paid, and they •can do as well in the warehouses as in ordinary occupations elsewhere. The season will last four or five months. The American Cigar Company operates six plants in Wi8consin,as follows : Mad- ison, Watertown, Sparta, Stoughton, Edgerton and Brodhead. Manager Jef- ferson says the prospects for the season are excellent, good prices prevailing and most of the crop having been sold. Wages paid to help in Madison are slightly higher than in other tobacco cities, a fact due to the correspondingly higher cost of living in this city. The F. S. Baines warehouse, opposite the Ck)hn plant, is expected to open for the season's sorting in a short time. New Jersey Factory Incorporated A certificate of incorporation has been granted The Wm. Fox Cigar Co., with a capital of $40,000. The incorpo- rators are Wm. Fox, Maxwell Cohen, and Max S. Fox, all of Camden. The Fox Cigar Co. has been doing business for some time at 411 Broadway, Cam- den, N. J., as manufacturers and re- tailers, and one of their principal brands is the 411 cigar, which has a good sale in Southern New Jersey. The operations under the new order of things will be greatly expanded. A Full Force to be Employed, and Prospects are Bright. Richmond, Va.. Jan. 2. When the plant of the American Cigar Company closed down for the holiday season. Manager Smith called all the foremen of the several departments together and congratulated them on the manner in which they had discharged their duties in the closing year. He de- clared that the indications for an im- provement in the new year were very bright, and as showing just what the belief of the managers of the plant is he requested that each of the foremen would inform the operatives in the bunch breaking and rolling departments to advise all their girl friends that they would be given work in the plant when it resumed operations the first of the year— that is, on Jan. 4. "That sounds good to me and I hope to see that place running with a full force in all departments before the end of the month of January," said a man who is in pretty close touch with the place. "That means that many hun- dreds of girls who have to make their own living will be put back to work, and they all manage to make a pretty good week's wages when they are on full time." New North Carolina Factory. Greenville, N. C, Jan. 4. The cigar factory of F. T. Wise is now in operation and a choice selec- tion of five and ten cent cigars are being made. Mr. Wise's factory is in the second story of the Bank of Commerce Building and he has a competent force of employes. The five cent cigar is The Jupiter and the ten cent brand is named The Attention. Mr. Wise says that he has just worked the trade and f as re- ceived quite a gratifying number of orders. He was formerly connected with the American Cigar Company and built a number of factories in the South for that corporation. Mr. Wise says that he will make a very choice brand of cigars and that no saliva will be used in making them. The goods will be sold on the local mar- kets and shipped to neighboring points. Mr. Wise feels confident that his new venture will prove a success. ©C / \ STEPHEN F. KETRAN Interior ¥ Makes a Specialty of ^ Wood.. Work..

Philadelphia Havana, 123 North Third street IMPORTERS of PHILADELPHIA Little Trade in Havana Market in Holiday Week. Remedlos Tobacco Received Most Attention and Prices Were Advanced by Some Holders. Dry Weather Darkens the Prospect for a Good Crop in 1909. Factories Plodding On at Usual Rate. Special Correspondence Owing to the Christinas holidays and the few buyers just now i 1 our city, the movement in our market has been greatly diminished, as excepting the good demand for Remedios, Vuelta Abajo and Partido have been only sparingly dealt in. Prices for the for- mer styles are very firm and some houses have advanced their figures quite sharply. Holders of Vuelta Abajo and Partido continue, however, to be dis- posed to meet buyers in their views, and this notwithstanding the fact that -owing to the dry weather the chances for a large and good crop of Vuelta Abajo are seriously hazarded unless one good rainfall should take place before the end of this week. The large farmers who have irrigation plants in the Vuelta Abajo and Partido sections, can of course rejoice, as they are in- dependent of atmospheric influences, and will raise a crop that undoubtedly may fetch good prices, but the majority of the smaller farmers are in a serious plight, if Dame Nature does not favor them with the priceless liquid from the clouds. Everybodj^ connected with the tobacco agriculture, commerce and in- •dustry, has been wishing for a beauti- ful and good crop, therefore it would be almost a calamity if their hopes should not be fulfilled in 1909. 8«les during the past week only footed up to ■3,089 bales, divided amongst Vuelta Abajo 600.

By Connecticut Valley Tobacco Growers at a Meeting Held in Northampton, Mass. Northampton, Mass., Dec. 31. The directors of the Three Counties Agricultural Society met last evening and arranged the farmers' institutes that will be held during the remainder of the winter, and one of which is ex- pected to be a gathermg of tobacco men. An effort was made a year ago to form a combination among the tobacco raisers. A committee was appointed to see what coald be done, but this com- mittee has never reported. There is a stronger feeling this year than ever that something must be done. The plan is to establish a warehouse in Hatfield or some other tobacco town in the valley, and then the raisers will place their tobacco in the hands of a company that ^ill be formed and the tobacco wiillie held until a fair price is offered. The farmers raised last year one of the best crops since 1892. The crop the year before was poor, and the market is very short on good wrap- pers, yet there is not a dealer that will offer more than 10 or 12 cents a pound at the outside. Many of the agents are offering only 8 cents for a crop that 15 or 20 years ago could have brought from 20 to 25 cents. The farmers estimate the cost of raising tobacco at 10 cents a pound, so that the profits are practically wiped out by the efforts to keep prices down. It is argued by the growers, that there is a perfect combine on the part (Concluded on p. 18) CHARLES BLASCO Connmlsslon Merchant '^' Leaf Tobacco and Ci£a2>ij 1 O'Reilly St. ^r^ Habana, Cuba GONZALEZ Y MIGUEL Almacenistas de labaco en Rama Especialidad en Tabaco de Santa Clara de Primera Claae Cable: "CASIN" AMISTAD 97, HABANA* LUIS MARX Tobacco Grower No. 8 Cuba Street Post Office Box 77 HABANA G- ■G) , ORP^UDUV L.

For the purposes in view four distinct departments have been formed, which' will be known as the Star, Horseshoe,. Spear Head and Piper Heidsieck. These- several departments will also take over other brands of plug tobacco which will be pushed with the same uniform and characteristic energy which has marked' the progress of the marke ing of the products of the American Tobacco Co. • • • Consolidation of Factories. A consolidation is about to be made of two prominent New York, a Detroit and a Key West factory under one head, but under a new corporation, and which will be known as the Consolidated Cigar Factories. The factories which will be included in the consolidation are the La Magnita and the Petite Cigar Manufacturing Company, of this city,, the Independence Cigar Manufacturing Co., of Detroit, Mich., and the Armas- de Oro Factory, of Key West, Fla. By this consolidation the new company will have a desirable line of clear Havana, seed and Havana and little cigar pro- ducts to offer the trade, and will still bo^ able to preserve the individuality of the various factories, as aH will be engaged in the manufacture of their respective lines of goods. Full details of the plan» of the new company will be announced in a short time. • • • Max Sondheim*s Retirement.

There has been little business dene in the leaf tobacco market of this city during the past week, but it was no particular surprise to the trade, as it has become thoroughly accustomed to a very quiet week between Christmas and New Year's day. And no activity is looked forward to for at least a week or two more, as both leaf tobacco men and manufacturers are busy in closing up the accounts of the previous year, which with large establishments in particular is a more or Ics arduous task and a matt^ which invariably receives the most careful personal attention of the heads of the houses. While the results of the year's busi- ness are pretty well known in a general way, yet the exact figures are always looked for with no uncertain degree of interest. That the results upon the whole are not going to look so bad after all has been practically admitted by a majority of the important bouses here, and they are a unit in entering 1909 with an even greater vim, if such a thing be possible, than heretofore, be- cause it is regarded as certain that 19U9 will show an encouraging improvement over the business of 1908 for all in- terests. • • • Henry M.

One of the special objects which Mr. Landau desires to accomplish is to effect the completion of an arrangement for a proposed Montreal. Can., wholesale house for the present year. Mr. Lan- dau, it will be remembered, also in- cludes Canada in his territory, and re- turned from Montreal recently. Sanchez and Sanchez Consolidated Two clear Havana cigar manufactur- ing firms, both operating factories in Tampa, have consolidated. The firms are L. Sanchez & Co. and Sanchez & Hermanos, and have united in a new •corporation under the name of L. San- chez & Co., Inc. The new company will be formed under the laws of the State of Florida, and in the actual de- tails the new order of things is already effective. For the time being the New York office will remain at 222 Pearl ■street, which was the old address of L. Sanchez & Co. • • • Cohn £i Co. Gave Dinner. The field staff of A. Cohn & Co. were Siven a dinner on Wednesday evening last, at Ohmets' Restaurant, which was followed by a theatre party. It has been the custom of this well- known house to give an annual dinner to the large sales force at the close of •each year's business. The present event surpassed all previous similar occagions in every way. An excellent menu had been provided, impromptu speeches and all kinds of hilarity were indulged in, and a highly enjoyable time made the evening memorable. Hussey*s Little Traveler Out Atfaln. On its fortieth anniversary visit Hus- sey's Little Traveler is again making the rounds of the trade, and ere this announcement gets into print thousands of copies of this valuable and interest- ing annual dissertation will be choking the mails for all points of the country. The Little Traveler for 1909 is again highly and richly illustrated and finely printed in a multiple of bright colors. It cannot fail to please everyone of its thousands of recipients, who are all looking forward to the time of the usual ariival of the Little Traveler. • • • Trade Notes. Max Herzoer, of P. Dennerlein & Sons, left on Saturday last for Havana, accompanied by Mrs. Herzog. J. W. Neinhuys, of Amsterdam, Hol- land, is at present visiting in New York. — Howard L. Kinney, with H.

The Postmaster General has issued a fraud order against the Royal Cigar Company, of Chicago, 111. alleging that its officers and agents are using the mails to defraud the put lie. By the order the company will not be able to get its incoming mail from the post office and will be unable to cash money orders. A. F. Hermingsen who is the promoter of the Royal Cigar Company, formerly had a fraud order issued against him on April 17, 1907, when he was operating at Toledo, Ohio, under the name of the Madison Cigar Com- pany. His scheme is to advertise for agents, requiring them to deposit $5.00 for a sample case and outfit worth about $2.00, and promising them a salaried position at the end of a stipu- lated period. The original $5.00 trans- action is as far as matters ever proceed. Numerous cigar salesmen have fallen victims to the trick. %%%»%%^» QUIET MARKET IN LANCASTER. Stock Purchased Was Probably Needed for the Resumption of Work After the Holidays. Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 4. The leaf tobacco market was quiet during the past week, and such pur- chases as were made consisted-of selec- tions by manufacturers who desired to secure some additional stocks of goods, which in some instances were needed for the commencement by them of the new year's business. Packers are certainly not averse to selling some of their older goods now, as it would make room for the receipt of the new crops coming in, and de- liveries on certain days are beginning to be of considerable proportions. At the New Holland warehouse of Morris Levy recently 100 loads of tobacco were received in one day. SPECIAL NOTICES.

The cigar trade generally is starting out with a comparatively small amount of orders on hand, and no special hurry exists at a number of places throughout the county to resume operations, on ac- count of the apparent lack of orders. There are a few minor changes taking place here this week, but nothing of any special significance, and it shows that, while the entire trade suffered daring the year from the general busi- ness depression, it has not proved quite BO disastrous as some might have ex- pected. Few, if any, have been so hard hit as to require them to retire from the trade and find pastures new. On the other hand, having withstood the depression felt throughout the year so well, it is a conclusive evidence of the stability of the tradesmen and manu- facturers in this section of the country. The partnership between Samuel Siesel and Chas. Tole was dissolved on the first of the year, but each will re- main in the trade individually. Mr. Siesel will continue at the present premises on North Queen street, while Mr. Tole has secured one of the Harnish warehouses on North Prince street. The partnership between Chas. J. Lederman and R. I. Sherman was also dissolved last week, and Mr. Lederman will settle up the affairs of the partner- ship which has been terminated. Jacob Bowman & Bro. have disposed of their leaf tobacco re-sweating busi- ness on East Grant street, to F. Ross Bare, a son of F. H. Bare, one of the best known of former leaf tobacco men ID this city, but who has been retired from active business for some years past. Mr. F. Ross Bare will continue to operate by occupying the old premi- ses at 231 and 233 Grant street, which premises are specially adapted for that basiness. He has been for ten years past a foreman in the place and is there- fore amply qualified to continue it in its highest efficiency. Jacob Bowman & Bro. will hereafter devote their entire time and energy to the packing and handling of domestic leaf tobacco, and will occupy the premises at 226 228-230 East Grant street. John F. Brimmer has secured one of the new Harnish warehouses on North Prince street, of which possession is being taken, while the building until recently occupied by Mr. Brimmer on Lemon street will be occupied by Cull- man Bros., of New York. Henry Bacharach, of Taussig & Co., New York and Chicago, arrived here from New York today and will spend some time in Lancaster, making hir headquarters with John F. Heiland & Co., who are the Pennsylvania lepre- sentatives of that well known Florida house. The fourth annual banquet of the Lancaster Leaf Tobacco Board of tradt was held on Saturday evening last at the Hotel Wheatland, and with a very large attendance. A business meeting of the Board had been held just prior to the b&nquet, when officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Joseph Goldberg ; Vice President, I. H. Wea- ver ; Secretary, Chas. Emory Long ; Treasurer, Morris Rosenthal. The banquet began with the following menu, after a prayer had been offered by Rev. Dr. I. Rosenthal : Martini cocktail, blue points on shell, consomme colbert, Rhine wine, olives, celery, rose radishes, almonds, boiled salmon, shrimp sauce, swee^. bread cut- lets, roast turkey, cranberries, Perrier- Jouet, White Seal, White Rock, Apol- linaris, French peas, asparagus tips, lettuce and tomato salad, Rcquefort cheese, Rents' crackers, ice cream, as- sorted cakes, fruits, cafe noir, cigars, cigarette?. Music was furnished by Roth's Or- chestra, and several vocal numbers were rendered by a selected quartet. During the evening there were a number of short addresses made by the guests. President Goldberg acted as toastmaster, and the first speaker was Dr. Rosenthal. He made quite a lengthy address in which he paid a big tribute to the local tobacco men, and said that much of the Pennsylvania tobacco found its way into many imported cigars we now smoke. His remarks were re- ceived with much applause. Among the others called upon were A. B. Hess. H. J. Ryder, J. Milton Shirk, William DeHaven, A. H. Sond- heimer, Milton H. Ranck, I. H. Weaver, George Forrest, Louis Sawler, Mr. Blumenstock, of New York, and others. The committee which arranged the banquet was composed of A. B. Hess, C. A. B. Zook and Louis Kramer. The Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade In- spection Company met Saturday even- ing and elected the following officers : President, A.B. Hess; Vice President, E. M. Cohn; Secretary, William [De- Haven ; Treasurer M. Rosenthal. The Inspection Company is a stock company and only members of the Leaf Tobacc( Board of Trade are eligible to member- ship.

The agent that comep, no matter what house he represents, always offers the same amount. Every grower seems to have a rating as far as price is concerned, and there is always the same offer, and the farmers are under the complete control of the trust. They can hold their tobacco as long as they please, but there is no advance in the price. It makes no difference what the demand may be for a certain quality of tobacco, the price does not go up, for the dealers know that they have the farmers under their thumbs and that they must finally sell at the price fixed by the combine. It is to combat such a condition as this that the farmers are going to meet again. Several attempts have been made in the past, but the growers do not have confidence enough in one another. There is always a feeling that some one is going to get a bigger price than the other fellow. The idea that some of the growers have a pull creates petty jealousies, and the scheme fails. A growers' combine hap come to be the only solution of a most difficult problem. The farmers must unite or prices will be so low that they will have to go into some other business. The first thing is to fight the tobacco combination with its own methods. If the dealers unite, the farmers must do the same thing. RESUMING WORK AT YORK. Cigar Factories Reopening, with Fewer Hands in Some Cases. Not Many Business Changes at End of the Year. York, Pa., Jan. 4. A good many of the factories are re- suming operations again this week. In some instances, however, the forces are somewhat reduced, although there is really more life in the trade than some may have expected. There are comparatively few changes in the trade locally. Less, perhaps, than in a number of years, except at Red Lion, where eeveral changes are scheduled, but mostly in the matter of locality of factories. W. A. Lahr has removed from what is known as the Porto Rico Building to the factory on North Main street formerly occupied by J. E.

Rost, a leaf dealer of Red Lion, has been receiving a lot of tobacco lately from Connecticut. W. J. Neff, a cigar manufacturer of Red Lion, has been on a business trip through Western Pennsylvania. Trade onditions are reported rather quiet at Hanover and vicinity, and manufacturers, it is said, have not the numbsr of orders in hand which it is desirable to have on which to resume operations, consequently they are going a little Blow. H. F. Martin has concluded his first year's business at York, having moved here from Windsor last spring, and is fairly well pleased with the results obtained. Receipts from the sale of cigar and other stamps at the York branch office of the Ninth internal revenue district in this city amounted to $73,000 during December. While they were $17,000 less than those of the corresponding month of last year, they exceed those of November by $8,000. This is taken as indication of a steady return of the cigar and tobacco trade in the county to normal conditions. Licenses for the opening of 11 new cigar factories were issued during the month by Deputy Collector Adam F. Strayer. They give employment to 42 persons. The licenses, location of the factories and the number of hands to be employed in each are as follows : John H. Albright, Hanover, ten hands; Harry B. Fitzkee, Dallastown, three hands; J. M. Wolf, Red Lion, R. F. D., No. 1. four hands; S. H. Seach- man, Windsor borough, two hands; Adam W. Kohler, Red Lion, R. F. D. No. 3. three hands ; Queen Kilgore, Red Lion, R. F. D.

No. 1, three hands ; The Eline Cigar Company, McSherrystown, seven hands. (yhas. Spigelmeyer, resident manager for Wedeles Bros., of Chicago, who succeeded T. D. Hene a short time ago, has taken up his local headquarters in the rear of ihe P. A. & S. Small Build- ing in Centre Square. In the same building is also the office of Noah Gillen. T. D. Hene, now general representa- tive of the Lichtenstein Florida Tobacco Co., but who will continue to make his headquarters in. this city, will remain in thti A. Sonneman Building, where he has ample office and warehouse facili- ties. Several of the Yoe factories which were closed down for a week or more are expected to resume operations this week. Among them are the factories oi G. A. Kohler & Co., Kohler-Snyder Co. and Isaac Kohler.

At a meeting of the special committee of the Planters' Protective Association, which has in charge the arrangements for the disposal of the crop of the as- sociation, held at Guthiie Thursday, a price at which the tobacco would be sold to purchasers was agreed upon and Genera] Manager Ewing, J. M. Couch, salesman, at Springfield, Tenn., and John Orr, salesman at Princeton, were appointed a committee and instructed as to the policy that will be pursued in negotiating with the Imperial Tobacco Company. Before the deal is closed, however, it must be submitted to Chair- man Bradley Wilson, of Hopkins county, Chairman John W. Hollowell, of Cald- well county, and Chairman Wadlington, of Lyon county. A meeting of the re- presentatives of the Imperial Company and the members of the association named will be held this week, probably not later than Wednesday and if the company accepts the prices agreed upon a large amount will be sold. TOBACCO IN MINNESOTA. Its Extensive Cultivation May In- crease Land Values in the State. Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 31. Minnesota may become a great to- bacco raising State. George Welsch, Commissioner of Immigration, has re- ceived a letter from Jacob Zelot, of Sherburne county, to the effect that he has been experimenting in the raising of tobacco and has been successful. Mr. Zelot received a sample from the Wisconsin experimental station. He has sent samples of his crop to the ex- pert buyers of the American Tobacco Company at Chicago and they have as- sured him that its quality is of the best. Should the kind of tobacco raised by Mr. Zelot warrant extensive cultiva- tion, the value of Minnesota land will g ) up from $40 to $50 an acre to $200 to $500 an acre. Commissioner Welsch is making a thorough investigation of the report. Leaf Tobacco Markets and scrubs are sold for from 6 to 8c, and the binders for from 12 to 13c, the wrappers if sold from 15 to 17 and 18c will not stand the crop much above 9^ to 10c in bundle, and if the cheaper grades do not bring the figures I have given, then we shall have to name a lower price than 10c in the bundle. The American Tobacco Company has the past week loaded two or three cars of tobacco that was bought some time ago ; this tobacco has been shipped south to be handled. Solomans are getting enough together to load one or more cars I think by the looks in our freight house, for they have quite a pile of it, the most of it hail cut. Those com- panies cannot lose any great amount of money handling such tobacco as hail cut, bought in this vicinity. If the shops do much business it will be late, for many of the growers are holding in the hope and expectation of selling this winter for some price that will be quite satisfactory, and at the fame time get the crop off their hands for good. Our correspondents write: Wethersfield, Conn. : "I have a few sales to report : R. R. Wolcott, crop of 1907, J. R. Anderson, crop of 1907, to Lansburgh of New York ; C. N. Smith, crops of 1906 and 1907 to New York parties; W. H. Skaats, to Griswold, of West Hartford, crop of 1908." North Hatfield, Mass. : "Since the Christmas holidays the sorting shops have started up, with nearly the full complement of men. At North Hatfield I notice that Mr. Swift is unloading another carload of cases, 450 cases in the car. There has been no buying in this locality this week."— American Cultivator. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. One thing is very certain, there will not be as much work done in the assort- ing shops as has been done for some years past. Not that there is any trouble between the shop men and the grower, but the fact is that some of the lots that were assorted at the shops did not bring enough more than was in some cases offered for the tobacco in the bundle last year, so I have been told. Wrappers must sell at a good price when separated from the balance of the crop to bring the prices up to the standard of preceding years as it was sold in the bundle. When the fillers EDGERTON, WIS. The beginning of a new year finds the tobacco business moving along rather quiet lines. While the new crop is sell- ing in a moderate way, the movement doeg not gain much headway nor does there appear to be any organized effort on the part of the large operators at present to lift the balance of the crop. Some of the better crops are taken at from 9 to 10c for the wrapper and bin- der grades but by far the greater num- ber of sales run at lower figures, from 6c UD. We learn of the following sales : Robert Smith, 8a at 9 and 3c. James Ward, 4a at 9 and 2c. Frank Heubner, 4a at 5ic. Little can be said of the market for old leaf. There is some moveMent among packers of low grades and a small trade to manufacturers' orders, but no transactions of any moment are reported. W. T. Pomeroy & Co. have purchased about 100 cases of export goods during the week. We learn of the sale of a 117cs lot of Equity pooled '07 grades at 7c scale. Warehouse handling of tne new crop will become more general the coming week at several of the packing points, when the work of the season will be well under way. Shipments: 1,588 cases.— Reporter.

Doings at Janesville. Janesville, Wis , Jan. 7. L. B. Carle, of L. B. Carle & Son, states that his firm will begin receiving consignments about the middle of Jan- uary. "I predict that we shall receive fully as many pounds as we did this year up to the first of June," he says, "but the average size of the leaf will not be as larga." "I think," says San- ford Soverhili, "that sales are going to he larger this year than last. We got all our consignments in small lotd last season. I talked the other day with a man who owns $500,000 worth of to- bacco and he is very optimistic in re- gard to the situation." T. E. Welsh will open operations within two weeks from today. "I would open sooner," said Mr. Welsh, "only considerable of the tobacco still lies in the northern part of the State waiting to be removed from the curing poles,stripped, bundled, and be made ready for delivery. I j^uess the producers are awaiting softer weather for stripping." G. H. Rumrill makes the following statement: "To- ]»acco« like everything, will have bigger sales next year than this. I open my warehouse the first Monday in January «nd intend to secure large quantities of splendid Wiscjnsin tobacco together with a small amount of the Iowa grade. Iowa is but just entering into the com- petition, but will never become one of the big tobaccu States.

CANADA'S BIG IMPORTATION 0! Havana Tobacco for a Toronto Manufacturing Firm. Hamilton, Can., Jan. 7. The largest shipment of Havana to- bacco ever consigntd to Canada arrived here this morning and at noon was carted through the principal streets. It took about twenty-five big G. T. R. lorries to transport the tobacco. The weed came from (3uba and was the largest shipment from that islana in 1908. There were 1,873 bales or 120 tons, and in duties alone the Dominion government collected $107,000 on the shipment. The tobacco is the property of the Truckett Company and will be used exclusively in the manufacture of a certain cigar, of which this shipment | will make over 15,000,000. COMPLAINT AGAINST DEALERS Nebraska Cigar Men Accused of SelHng to Minors. Lincoln, Neb , Jan. 7. Accusing them of selling cigarettes, contrary to the State laws. County At- torney Tyrrell this morning drew and filed a formal complaint in police court against the Cole McKenna Cigar Com pany and James Heagey, the company's clerk. The complaint alleges in effect that James Heagey, on December 6, sold to Herschel Kline a box of cigar- ettes, containing one or more of the "coffin-nails," for the sum of seventy- five cents. James Malone's name ap- pears as the complaining witness. The defendants probably will be summoned to appear some time within the next few days. James Heagey was fined $25 and costs early in December under the ordinance which forbids the sale of tobacco to a minor. Herschel Kilne, a lad not more than thirteen or fourteen years old, entered the store one day under Detec- tive Malone's order and purchased a box of fifty cigarettes for seventy-five cents. He said the clerk merely asked him who the cigarettes were for, and that he replied they were for "a guy over at Eleventh and O streets. " Kline says the box was passed over the counter to him. This original box is still in Police Judge Risser's possession, although a cargo of nearly 4.000 cigarettes which were taken from the cigar store just before the trial were returned to the company at the Deputy County Attor- ney's request. ©c: STEPHEN F.

The Drought Has Been Broken by Good General Rains, Except in Vuelta Abalo. Special Correspondence The record of the past week having been interrupted by the New Year faoliday and marking the close of the year 1908 could not have excelled in showing large transactions, particulaily .as the number of buyers in town was •only limited. Sellers were well enough •disposed to turn over their holdings for ready cash, even if the calendar year -does not correspond with the commer- cial year of our leaf dealers, who figure from one crop period to the other, and who close their books in March or April «s a rule. Excepting only the lowland section of the Vuelta Abajo, where the drought fitill continuep, all other tobacco grow- ing sections of our island have been visited by good rains, therefore the planters of tobacco have received the choicest New Year present they could wish for, and this has allayed the fears of curtailment in quantity, as perhaps also of quality. Unless the Tierra Liana should have been likewise favored by rains, it will be a serious drawback to the local manufacturers, as well as to the clear Havana cigar industry in the United States, as the choicest and most aromatic leaf is grown in the low lands of the Vuelta Abajo, and a scarcity of auch styles this year would result in higher prices to the manufacturers, which would be a calamity. Some of the holders of the 1908 crop are already less anxious to sell and a rise in prices might be inevitaMe, if no rain should fall this week. As Janu- ary, February and March are always dry months, only an exception from the rule could cause a relief to the farmers in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo. The outlook for our leaf dealers and commission merchants is fair, as quite a number of Northern buyers are expected here shortly. SMles aggregated up to December 31, 2,840 of The Tobacco World.)

BaylnsTy Sellinir and Otber Notes of Interest. I. Dankowitz who left on Saturday .by the steamer Saratoga, had made good use of his time, as his purchases figure up to almost 1,000 bales of all kinds of leaf, and being an excellent judge of tobacco, as well as a close buyer, it stands to reason that he has secured the choicest styles of quality tobaco at the right figures. P.obrinos de A. Gonzalez sold 990 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido last week. This long established and ster- ling house handled last year between 40,000 and 50,000 bales of tobacco, of which the Spanish Regie received about .20,000 bales. However, as they close their books only in March, the quantity may be even larger in their commercial year. Work is progressing on their new warehouse, corner Barcelona and Industria streets. The firm of Manuel Suarez & Co. has ■dissolved by the retirement of Joseph Mendlesohn. The latter will in future devote his entire time and energy to the firm of Mendlesohn, Borneman<3 & ■Co., of New York, of which he is the «enior partner, dealing in Havana leaf tobacco as heretofore. Manuel Suarez will continue the commission business under his own name at Havana. Don Jose has purchased 1,000 bales of choice leaf for his customers and may increase this quantity, as his partner, Louis A. Bornemann, arrived here today. Jose F. Rocha was a seller of 200 bales of tobacco last week. Fred Newman, on his maiden trip to Havana, selected 300 bales of leaf for his Chicago firm. A. M. Calzada & Co. shipped 323 bales of first and second capaduras of Remedios last week to their customers, and Don Antonio closed the old year well by making some fresh sales. H. Upmann & Co. purchased for their factory and customers in 1908 a little over 30,000 bales. RECEIPTS FROM THE COUNTRY.

New York Leaf Market. Thich iu portrayed the wrapper king The leaf tobacco market has been and the filler king. The circular dwells somewhat brighter during the past week, and some signs of a permanent activity are beginning to develop. Stock taking has been concluded, and manufacturers and dealers are now turning their attention to the business necessities which a larger volume of tion. and a variety are enumerated trade naturally brings about. together with a quotation of prices. It Reports have been received from the is a good piece of woik and well ex- growing districts of Pennsylvania which ecuted. Served in its attractive style are to the effect that prices for 1908 it is bound to get its full share of at- crops have receded somewhat. From specially on the firm's offerings of Georgia Sumatra as an excellent wrap- per for the needs of many a manufac- turer, and their special line of Havana tobaccos for fillers. Of course, binders also come in for a fair share of atten- it is bound tention. Ohio it is repotted that a deadlock pre- vails in the growing districts, and con- sequently no buying is being done. Wisconsin tobaccos, too, have shown some indications of recession from former prices, yet buying there is not progressing very rapidly. The Sumatra market was quiet during the past week, and sales made were of tobaccos that were required for im- mediate use. Havana tobacco has been taken in moderate quantities, and, except the completion of a large quantity sale in one transaction, there was nothing of unusual interest. • • • The Cl|{ar Manufacturers. Ne^ Leaf Trade Organization. A new organization has been started in the leaf tobacco trade by the younger members of the trade, the special object of which is the promotion of mutual congeniality by establishing a club with headquarters, if possible, in the imme- diate vicinity of the tobacco houses. In its application it is to be so broad as to admit also as nfembers young men who are connected with the trade in a gene- ral way, and it is said that the plans have the approval of some of the most prominent of the older members of the trade. Harry S. Loewenthal, of 138 Water street, is acting as a committee- man to take applications for member- Notwithstanding that the cigar man- ship, and as soon as a reasonably good number are received a meeting will be called for the more definite formation of the organization. ufacturers experienced during 1908 the largest decrease in output in recent years, they have taken new courage and a strong confidence exists that there will be in reality a revival of trade in the near future and that the consumption and output will increase. In the metropolitan districts the De- cember output indicated a gain as com- pared with the corresponding month of the previous year, and from the fact that the gain made was a gradual pro- cess, its auspiciousness is regarded as indicating a profitable continuation. • f» • In the Retail Trade. Naturally enough the retail trade re- quires a little time always to recover from the more than usually active period around the Christmas holidays, and it is therefore not alarming, nor even surprising, that this branch of the industry has recently been very quiet with a moderate volume of routine business, which, under all the circum- stances, should be fairly satisfying. • • * Sutlers* Latest Circular. There were recently issued through the mails a new and very striking cir- Important Trade Mark Decision. A decision was recently handed down by Judge McCall granting an injunction in the suit of the Butler-Butler Co., now a branch of the American Tobacco Co , against Ward Modawar, for in- fringing upon the Pall Mall brand of cigarettes. The action was taken upon four affi- davits, and by the decision of the court the defendant is expressly prohibited from using cigarette boxes either iden- tical or similar to the Pall Mall package. • • o New Manufacturers* and Dealers* Association Formed. The (]igar Manufacturers' and Deal- ers' League of Greater New York has been formed. The chief object of the new association is to combat as far as possible the prohibition movement, which has now gained some foothold in the West. Offictrs of the Association have been elected, and are as follows : President, Samuel Prince; Vice President. Chas. cular by Louis P.Sutter & Bros., in Krohn ; Treasurer, Bernard Feifer. Of » Our Capacity for Manufacturing Cigar Boxes is— ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE GOOD CUSTOMER Monroe D. Sellers, Sellersville, Pa. THE TOBACCO WORLD the above Mr. B. Feifer is well known as a cigar manufacturer, and he has given out the following interview : "The primary object of the League is to combat the prohibition movement. The injurious effect that it has had upon the cigar trade is well known. We are h )ping to get the trade organized so as to be able to prevent the passage of blue laws or any other hgislation that is inimical to our interests, as well as to afford what aid we can to the trade in that portion of the country that has already succumbed to the prohibition craze. All members of the trade are eligible. "In addition to this object, we desire to encourage closer acq'jaintance and friendship among the members. We have as yet no regular meeting tima, Lut we will arrange shortly for a more -effective organization than we now have." It is stated that more than 300 mem- bers have already been enrolled and a meeting is to be held on January 19, at •Odd Fellows Hall, 67 St. Marks Place. ColemanbOppenhelm Co. Chan|{es Name. The Coleman- Oppenheim Co. has changed its corporate name to R. B.

(Concluded from page 3) These amounts are in the Spanish silver peso (plata), which [at present, Dec. 14, 1908) is at a discount of about 13 per cent, in comparison with Amer- ican currency. Therefore, the above amount, $328.20,reduces to about $285.40 American, the average wage given being a little less than $1.05 Ameiican money per diem. By "20 wages" in above statement is meant that labor equivalent to the time of one man for 20 days was em- ploj ed, for instance, in plowing one acre. A false impression may be gained from this, and so it should be under- stood that the soil has to be thoroughly, not roughly, prepared, and that may require several plowings to the acre. Packing labor is expensive, but it varies with the quality of the bale. It should be understood also that these rates are only an average, as in bad seasons they may at times reach $2 plata per diem. Avrr8/$e Yield and Cost. The average yield under shade is :jlaced at 10 bales for the acre, but it jften sinks to 8.

Therefore the great ma- jority of the tobacco is sun grown, which means in the open with some- times wind-breaks of cheese cloth or other material. For this, as it will be seen by the statement above, less and unskilled labor is required, for the per- fection of the leaf and the great devel- opment thereof is not so much desired. The sun grown tobacco generally speak- ing is for the filler and the shade grown for the wrapper of the cigar, although shade is liberally used for filler tobacco entirely, and a large percentage of shade-grown tobacco designed princi- pally for wrappers is always only avail- able for fillers.

The American Ci^ar Mold Co. 1931--193S Western Ave.,.nd 1201-1209 Dayton Street, 18 CINCINNATI, OHIO Relation of Labor Coat to Market Price These costs of labor in tobacco grow- ing by no means represent the total cost which must be assigned for the article of commerce. The cost of ad- ministration is not included, nor is that of th9 food which is given to the laborer during the working hours. The expense of depreciation of tools and implements, and of plant in its various features, of fuel and oil for the irrigat- ing plant engine, and various other items, chief among ^hich is the shade- covering expense, which must be added to the price per bale. Thus, while $32.80 Plata, or S28.54 Ameiican, is said to represent the labor cost of one bale of shade-grown tobacco in the district of western Cuba, and of $18.60 plala, or $16.17 American, 6un-grown tobacco on a modern farm, there must be a large addition for this outside expense in both instance?; and perhaps 75 per cent, is not too much for the first and 50 per cent, for the second. This, how- ever, is subject lo great variation. It is a difficult matter in the extreme to give an average price in the market for this tobacco because, through opin- ion or otherwise, one farm is supposed to produce better tobacco than another, and the scale is largely governed by such traditions. But "Vuelta Abajo" is supposed to average about $65 a bale, and "Partido" nearly $100, taking into account fillers, binders, and wrappers, the last of which raises the average greatly. An Element of Myatery. However, the tobacco growing busi- ness contains a substantial element of myateiy, and under the conditions that o jtain it is hard to separate fact from fiction. The cost of labor in the field, Bj herein given and divided, unques- tionably represents something near the average on Euch a farm as described, but it can not be claimed that it costs all tobacco growers so much or so little. Tobacco production is popularly thought to be a highly profitable industry in Cuba when prices are normal and the management and culture are good, but like everything else it has been greatly affected by the price of labor and supply and demand and quality. The cost of labor in the grading, blending, and stripping of the leaf, taking into acconnt the male and fe- male labor employed, will average about the same as that of field labor — $1.20 plata,or about $1.05 UnitecJ States currency per diem, with no allowance for food. —It is reported that an English com- pany has applied for the tobacco mon- opoly in Turkey after the concession to the present Regie has expired. It is said to be prepared to offer the government a loan of $66,000,000 at 4 per cent., in the event of securing the concession. rA.HUSSEvl LEAfTOMCfOO).

The Burley Tobacco Society is in ses- sion here today. All the proceedings have been secret and the members are very reticent in regard to what has been done. The question of salaries has been considered and quite a differ- ence has arisen between President Le- Bus and the members of the board. He wants a salary of $10,000 a year, which the board thinks is entirely too large, and has offered him half that amount. This he refuses to accept, and the board is fiim in its determination to pay no more. The salaries of the other officials will be fixed as soon as that of the Presi- dent is settkd. A tentative contract for the crop of 1909 was formulated to- day and will be presented to the tobacco union for approval. Its nature was not revealed, but there will be no effort to curtail the crop this year. CANADIAN TOBACCO SUIT. the growers out. No buyers have been seen here yet. About the only thing to do with this year's crop (in my esti- mation) is for each farmer to put the crop into cases as cheaply as he can, if for nothing more than to size it. I have the sale of one crop of tobacco to report, B. S. Graves & Sons to McHugh, 10 acres at 12 J cents." North Hatfield. Mass. : "Four acres of tobacco 1908 crop was sold by George Donaldson to Leslie W. Swift of this place. George Anderson sold about one acre to eame party as above. George McClellan sold to the American To- bacco Co. 6 acres to be shipped out of town, all at private terms. Robert Dickinson sold about six acres to the American Tobacco Co. at about 3J cents, haiicut." Amherst, Mass. : "Many crops of tobacco have been sold during the past ten days. Edward Hickey sold H acres Havana at lOJ cents— Peter and James Gekonsky, William and Myron Zakesko, and Patrick Whalen estate, all large growers. Dwight Loomis, of Spring- field, recently bought a number of crops at Russeville."— American Cultivator. Result of a Merger Between Big Companies. Toronto, Can., 'Jan. 9. The evidence in the lawsuit brought by the McAlpin Consumers' Tobacco Cjmpany, Limited, against Messrs. O. E. Fleming, J. A. Straith, Robert Pinchia and the Consumers' Tobacco Company, Limited, was ended in the Nonjury Court last week and Mr. Justice Teetzel will arrange a date with counsel for argument to be heard. The suit arises out of an amalgama- tion in October, 1902, of the McAlpin Tobacco Company and the Consumers' Tobacco Company, under the name of the McAlpin Consumers' Tobacco Com- pany, Limited. The three gentlemen cited as defendants were directors of the Consumers* Company, and the plaintiffs claim that when the merger was made they wrongfully applied the funds of t e new company to pay off debts against the old company, and they ask the court to order an account- ing. The defendants claim that after the merger was made the new company was suddenly sold to a son of Gen. Mc- Alpin in such a way as to make their stock holdings valueless, and that in consequence each of them had lost con- siderable money. v%%%%t>%% Leaf Tobacco Markets 20 CONNECTICUT VALLEY. The news by correspondents to the trade papers is very encouraging to the farmers in the sense that the supply of all old goods has been drawn upon to an extent that few can realize; Our correspondents write: Conway, Mass. : "The buyers seem to be up to their old tricks of freezing EDGERTON, WIS. Since the beginning of the new year more of a disposition to resume the buying of the new crop has developed. The American Tobacco Co. started out a force of buyers bidding for all grades of the crop, for which from 5 to 8 cents is offered, and are making some sales, though growers as yet are not very generally disposed to accept these fig- ures. We learn also that an effort is being made in some sections to buy the filler grades out of crops, for which as high as 3 cents is offered. An occa- sional sale of early crops is being made but at prices hardly up to the quota- tions that prevailed at the first buying. There is some movement of old leaf to record, both of standard goods and of cheaper grades for export orders. Sanford Soverhill has disposed of 100 cases or such a matter, and H. T. Sweeney of about 150 cases for the week. The largest recent transaction is doubtless the sale of all the damaged tobacco held in the Equity pools in the State, amounting to several hundred cases. A few days of casing weather during the week gave growers another oppor- tunity to remove their hanging tobacco, but a cold wave following closely after has interfered with stripping. Deliver- ies are now being made very plenti- fully and warehouse handling is in full swing at the packing points.

Union cigarmakers in PennBylvania are preparing to demand an increase in wages, according to Organizer E. E. Greenawalt, of the Cigarmakers' Inter- national Union. He has been conduct- ing a vigorous campaign of organiza- tion, and claims to have materially strengthened the union. The demand will provide fur an increase and a more uniform rate of wages. "There must come a readjustment of wages in the First and Ninth Internal Revenue dis- tricts of Pennsylvania," said Mr. Greenawalt. "There are upward of 30,000 men, women and children em- ployed in the cigar industry of Penn- sylvania, and the report of the State bureau of industrial statistics shows the average wage received by men is about $8 a week. That of women about $5 per week. The children get from|2 to $3 per week. "The fact that the wages of the cigarmakers in Pennsylvania are con- siderably lower than those received by their fellow-craftsmen in other States for similar grades of work encourages the belief that manufacturers here will favorably consider the demands of their ■employes, and will be willing to grant a reasonable increase in the rate per 1,000 for making cigars."

About 80 Per Cent of Forces Em- ployed at Stachelberg's. Tampa, Fla., Jan. 14. With stock taking over and the holi- days a thing of the past cigar manu- facturers are now busily engaged io making up stock for the spring trade, and as a result of this all of the regular cigarmakers in the city are practically afforded employment. Edward Stachel- berg stated that the big Stachelberg factory is now running with about eighty per cent of the large force em- ployed before the holidays. "I expject that wnhin thirty days all of the factories in the city will be run- ning with full force," said Mr. Stachel- berg, "and I believe that now, as all political matters are settled and the question of tariff on tobacco is practi- cally settled that the cigar business will resume its normal state and we will have all we can do to supply the trade with clear Havana Tampamade cigars." Mr. Stachelberg said that while the sale of Tampa made cigars in Cuba is slow for the present, that they are still on sale there, and that he expects in the future that they will be very much sought after by Americans visiting that country. Fire which was discovered at one o'clock this morning, consumed the large frame building on Frances ave- nue, in West Tampa, owned and oc- cupied by George Themelis, who con- ducted a cigarette factory. Mr. Them- elis had just opened a branch store and factory at Tampa and Lafayette streets and had placed considerable stock in the new place, but there was a great quantity of fine tobacco in the building which was consumed.

Fears of Drought Have Now Been Averted by Copious Rains. Statistics of Cuba's Tobacco Crop for the Past Year. Special Correspondence of The Tobacco World.) The new year has opened well, as inore American buyers have arrived to keep our market active and it has rained in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo. Judg- ing by the number of rainy days in Ha- vana last week it almost looked as if we had entered the rainy season, but perhaps the seismic disturbances in many countries have changed our at xnospheric conditions. A continuance ■of wet weather at this season will do untold harm, not alone to the nearly matured tobacco plants, but also by interrupting the grinding of sugar cane. Transactions last week were not heavy, but widely distributed, with prices ruling firm, particularly for Remedios tobacco. I would call attention to the annexed statistical figures of the product of the 1908 crop, which will show that the weekly reported sales were rather short or too low, or that some people, for reasons of their own, refused to have ■any light shed upon their operations. To get at the exact amount of present holdings in our market we should need government interference, as some peo- ple will declare their stocks too high, and others too low, but the figures were taken by competent judges, who almost agreed, therefore they may be con* aidered correct for all practical pur- poses. In getting at the figures for the whole crop of the island of Cuba, as well as what properly belonged to the 1907 crop, several estimates had to be made use of, so in case any error should be disclosed later on the indul- gence of my readers is desired. Snlea up to January 9th total 3,800 bales, divided between Vuelta Abajo 950, Par- tido 450 and Remedios 2,400 bales. American buyers have purchased 3,000 bales, exporters for Europe 600 and local manufacturers 200 bales. Havana, Cuba, January 9, 1909.

Havana Ctarar Mannfactnrera have commenced the new year with great hopes that the next Congress will ratify the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Cuba in a liberal spirit by granting a heavier reduction from t he Dingley tariff schedule. They also look for a general revival in our exports to Europe and other countries, as the abnormal conditions of last year have passed away, to a large extent at least. It is too early to look for an immediate resumption of large orders, but the forerunners are evidently ap- pearing already. H. Upmann & Co. shipped 350,000 cigars last week.

Owing to is hopen, straight- forward manner most dealers here are anxious to do business with him, shad- ing their figures to the utmost point, and thus Don Jacobo usually manages to buy as low, if not lower, than the shrewdest leaf importer in the United States. The customers of Benjamin Labe & Sons can rest assured that they can buy the best kinds of Havana to- bacco as reasonable, if not actually lower, than any other house will be able to offer to them. Don Jacobo's pur- chases may sum up to 1,000 bales or more this time. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez were heavy sellers again, as they closed transac- tions summing up 1,300 bales of all kinds of leaf tobacco. Joseph Mendelsohn and Louis Borne- mann were likewise hustlers in our market and could be seen in many warehouses registering tobacco. Rodriguez Bautista & Co. disposed of 300 bales of Vuslta Abajo and Remedios during the past week. M. Herzog reports having purchased 600 bales of leaf. Muniz Hnos. & Co. closed out 200 bales of Remedios.

This is in thorough conformity with the plans adopted some time since by the American Cigar Co. of individualizing the various factories by specific heads, «nd the news of the rejuvenating of the liouse of Eugene Vallens & Co there- fore comes as no particular surprise. The original firm of Eugene Vallens •& Co., of Chicago, was one of the most widely known houses in the clear Ha- vana trade in the country, and under the direction of Mr. Vallens it acquired its illustrious success. It is now an- nounced that Mr. Vallens would again actively enter the trade, having been practically retired for the past ten years. A factory building is said to have been secured on West Broadway, in the vicinity of the former New York office of Eugene Vallens & Co., and Mr. Vallens will be again at the head of the Vallens house.

It cannot be pointed out that many actu- ally large sales have been consummated this month, but numerous fair sized transactions have occurred, *vhich brought the volume of business up to a good amount* if, indeed, it is not about the ordinary normal figure. The number of visitors from out of town points is increasing, and consequently the amount of business done is growing larger. Present market conditions do not indicate that there has been a great There is again much activity at all the leading warehouses, and large quan- tities of the new crops are now coming in each wetk, and the force of employes is being constantly increased. There was a report circulated here early last week which was to the effect that a very large sale of leaf tobacco had been consummated by one of the largest packing houses in this county, but it could not be confirmed. It is believed that there has been a deal of much consequence pending for some time, bat Ibat it has nut been fully consummated is also the general belief. E. L. Nissly, of Florin, Pa., has se- cured an additional warehouse in this city in the rear of Centre Square, which was for a time occupied by Engle & Son, and which Mr. Nissly will use for packing purposes this year. The writer last week had the pleasure of a trip of inspection through the new warehouse of John F. Brimmer & Son, at 226 North Prince street, better known as the Harnish Warehouse, which but a short time since they opened office headquarters here, but they are now receiving a lartre and complete line of goods from the Quincy \«arehouses, and will forthwith be in a position to show some very attractive lines of the most desirable goods that Florida has yet produced. Ever since the first of the year there has been continued activity with the firm of John F. Heiland & Co. Not only have their lines of feed leaf been a pulling factor, but a veiy extensive trade has also been done by them vn the Florida tobaccos which they are handling, and which are supplied from the warehouses of Taussig & Co., of New York and Chicago. Their business has been growing to such an extent that an increased office force has been found desirable. They have therefore added the services of Allen Fry, a son of P. W. Fry, well known in the cigar trade. Young Fry is an accomplished office assistant, and his work is greatly relieving the firm of the many details of the office and enabling them to de- vote all their energy and time to the QUIET TRADE IN BOSTON. Regarded as the Usual Post-HoH* day Lull and All are Hopeful. [Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World"^ 212 Hanover Street] Boston, Mass., Jan. 18. The usual lull after the holidays has struck this section, and jobbers and re- tailers alike report the past week's business as being very quiet. The newspaper reports of conditions in other parts of the country are very encourag- ing and our merchants are confident of an exceptionally good Spring trade. * H. Traiser & Co., the large local cigar manufacturers, are starting in today manufacturing cigars again. This fac- tory has had lots of trouble with the Union, and at a meeting of the Union last week at which members of the firm of H. Traiser & Co. were present, the Union voted agrainst a reduction in the schedule of prices. George W. Lord, manager of Wood- ,«c^ o„ v»c.. ^t^^.M, »uu ..w,^ ..v, cue ^.^^^'^ c^Kar department, has notified needs of their patrons in keeping their I;!?^?!!?";^.^ V'^^^'TSt.^"!'? ^^'.^ '"^^'^ wants satisfactorily supplied. Quite a scare was piecipitated here lasc week when it was announced that the big plant of the Federal Cigar Co. had been closed down for an indefinite period of time. Inquiry, however, re- vealed the fact that it was not nearly as bad as it was pictured by the daily press, that the new order of things afifected only certain departments, and price of the J. A. cigar is 8 cents straight, an advance of one cent. It is expected that many of the other cut- price druggists will follow suit. George has been very active of late with the fire department, of which he is also a member. Your correspondent was shown a number of photos of Mr. Lord in his uniform.

H. Bare and J. E. Sherts, both of whom, until a year or more ago, had been prominently identi- fied with the cigar trade of this city. They have secured factory facilities on East Grant street near Duke, and the has alr^dy made many friends. Jack Dubreuii was in town Satuniay introducing the Kbedivlal Go.'8new& cent brand. Turkish Whiff's. Lawrence J. Ryan (Khedivial Co.) has reached here and will remain a few weeks sell- ing only the Lord Baltimore, a 25 cent package. The old reliable Mount Vernon Cigar Mfg. Co., of Seven Valley, Pa., has In Sumatra leaf there was a normal and wholesome trading, and in Havana tobacco there is no change of note, either in price of leaf or the character of the offerings. Prospects with the cigar manufactur- ers seem to be good genreally, and the amount of bus'nens done shows a grad- ual and steady gain. Indications are all favorable for a good, if not actually a lively. Spring trade. There is at hand a practical substantiatioi of this assertion. We refer to the rather mag- nificent orders which are coming in from road men, and which are of such a character that we ca* not fail to see encouragement in them, and as a result a majority of the larger factories are now sufficiently well supplied with orders and of a volume which warrants operations on full time. The month of December has left a well-defined ear mark in so far as it was a period during which the production of cigars in this district surpassed the output of the corresponding month of the previous year. That turn has been successfully made and we are safe in leaving it to the energy of the trade at large to keep up the pace now set. BRIGHTENING IN LANCASTER. It No Special Activity in the Leaf Market, but a Good Many Cases were Sold in the Aggregate. Lancas'er, Pa., Jan. 18. The leaf tobacco market has not been specially brisk during the past week, and yet the aggregate of the business done amoutned to a considerable number of cases. The transactions were largely in small lots. Inquiry was fairly strong and prices remain unchanged. 12 containing all the modern improvements which it is possible to obtain, including electric elevator, etc. In its appoint- ment it is almost perfection, exception- ally well lighted, and equipped with re- sweating rooms, a spacious basement for assorting and packing, as well as ample storage capacity for the new goods coming in. It is a three story brick structure, with a frontage of 32 feet on Prince street and extending through to a rear street, a depth of 168 feet. The several floors are use i for the storage of to- bacco of different year's growth, so that any desired lot can be easily got- ten at. On the ground floor front there is a suite of two nicely furnished offices, one room being used for a general re- ception and accounting ofllice, while the other has been made a private office. These are equipped with stationary wash stands and lavatories, and are about as comfortable as they could possibly be made. John F. Brimmer, the head of the firm, recently admitted his son, John R., to an interest in the business, and the firm name was made John F. Brim- mer & Son. In addition to this they have also engaged traveling representa- tives for this year. One of their sales- men is Harriijon G. Shirk, a tobacco man of this city, and a man of wide experience in the business. Mr. Shirk is now covering the West. A new Florida tobacco firm has re- cently opened headquarters in ihis city, and has made their oflfices and taken warehouse facilities with Milton H. Ranck at Duke and Chestnut streets. The firm is Mitchell & Ottinger, who came here from Quincy, Fia., and who are both thoroughly familiar with the tobacco industry of Florida. The firm consists of T. W. Mitchell and S. M. Ottinger. Mr. Ottinger is a son of the pioneer tobacco raiser of Florida, and was practically brought up in the busi- ness. Both are young men, vigorous a id energetic, who realized that this section of the country afforded oppor- tunities for development that were more attractive than some other sec- tions, and they are being heartily re- ceived by the trade in this State. It is building is being thoroughly remodeled ^pe^^d a branch -establishment for job- for their particular needs. They will soon place on the market a new line of nickel and ten cent goods. Both mem- bers of this firm were formerly identi- fied with the old firm of J. E. Sherts & Co. W. H. McLaughlin & Son, are now engaged in putting up a packing of Pennsylvania leaf at their new ware- houses on North Prince street, which premises were formerly occupied by I. H. Weaver. L. Levinson, a young and energetic advertising novelty salesman, has been recently circulating among the cigar trade of this section in the interest of the C. H. Thompson Calendar Co. and Robert Hartman Co., makers of card board signs of all kinds,both New'York houses. Levinson has been showing attractive lines, and his initial trip for the new year was gratifyingly suc- cessful. Michael Shue has been prosecuted be- fore Justice C. H. Zeller, of Mt. Joy, for larceny, Jacob Gephart lost five bales of tobacco and John Young two. The stolen tobacco, it is alleged, was sold by Shue to Charles W. Bitner. The parties missed their tobacco, traced it to Shue's possession and they were at the warehouse when he delivered it. The A. B. Hess Cigar Co. has this year started their several salesmen on the road with a complete line of new samples, among which are several new creations of cigar productions from this city.

Kitsis, formerly with the^ Turco American Tobacco Co., has ac- cepted a position with the Khedivial Co. and will begin working today. Jack Warsowe, the comedian sales- man of the Khedivial Co., is pushing^ the sale of the Alma cigarettes, while Al. Soloway is calling on the trade in Springfield and Westfield this week. R. D.

There is a rumor current in this city and a specially strong demand found for their leading brands of five and ten cent goods. Indications are that the business this year with this factory will exceed by far the output of last year, and if January is any in- dication it will be simply distanced. The general outlook for the cigar trade is brightening gradually, and not- roatter is not as yet settled a deal is now on that may result in the sale of the stand occupied by R.

REPORTED GOOD TRADE in YORK Some Manufacturers Buying for Expected Revival at Factories. York, Pa., Jan. 18. The cigar trade is not yet as brisk in this section as it might be, with a few exceptions, of course. There is, how- ever, a gradual improvement coming about, a>)d nearly every manufacturer is feeling somewhat encouraged by the fact that it is not quite as dull as it was last year at this time. Some of the leaf tobacco men had an exceptional iy strong business curing the past few weeks, and it appears that some of the manufacturers are laying in stocks in the full expectation that a better business era is about to be with ns. Some of them even anticipate some little changes in the leaf tobacco market, and consider that it is quite likely that if the general improvement in the cigar trade does set in, which is being so confidently expected, the mar- ket will show some advance in the price of leaf tobacco, and that is why they are laying in larger stocks. J. H. Stiles, the well known leaf to- bacco packer of this city, has secured the cervices of H. G. Reitzel. formerly of Rochester, N. Y., and who is now on a Western trip for Mr. Stiles. The writer was informed a few days ago at Mr. Stiles' office that Mr. Reitzel is meeting with good success on his maiden trip for the house. Mr. Stiles is at present in Connecticut. H. G. Blasser, head of the newly organized leaf firm of H. G. Blasser & Co., Ltd., was last week confined to his home by a severe cold. He is im- proved now, and will in all probability be about again as usual within a few days. A new representative is coming to York to look after the interests of Wedeles Bros., and he will probably make his headquarters in the Small Building, in oflices adjoining those of Noah Gillen. Noah Gillen has been among the most active leaf men in the local market for the past few weeks, and in that time has disposed of several large lots ol (Concluded on page 18) H. P.

Qjality is much better than last year, with a larger per cent of light wrap- pers. The average price of 35 cents per pound is 8.5 cents less than a year ago. CHEWING, SMOKING, SNUFF and EXPORT TYPES. BURLEY DISTRICT. With favorable weather for handling and a very small crop, 51 per cent has been marketed. Quality is inferior to a year ago on account of dry weather during most of the growing and curing season. The average price of 16. 5 cents jer pound is 5.5 cents higher than was paid a year ago. DARK DISTRICTS OF KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE- Paducah District. It has been too dry to handle tobacco, hence only about 6 per cent had been marketed up to December 20. The quality of the early part of the crop was much better than last year, but the late cutting was inferior. Taken as a whole, quality is somewhat better than a year ago. The average price of 7.9 cents per pound is less than last year. Henderson or Stemming District. About 7 per cent of the crop has been delivered in this district, all of which was in the Eastern part, or around Owensboro, where sales were made early in the season. With more favor- able weather deliveries would have been much larger. None has been de- livered in the Henderson section, as no sales were made until the latter part of December. The quality is inferior to that of last year on account of dam- age by wind and hail in a part of the district, and dry weather during the latter part of the growing season and while curing. The average price of 7.7 cents per pound is a little less than a year ago. Upper Green River District. With favorable weather, 58 per cent of the crop has been delivered. Most of it was sold at an average of 8 2 cents per pound, which is a little more than the price paid a year ago. Quality is better than in 1907. Upper Cumberland District. The weather having been favorable for handling and stripping, the crop has moved very rapidly : 64 per cent of it had been delivered up to December 20. With good size, color, and body and a sound cure, this is one of the beat crops ever produced in the district, and much better than that of last year. The average price of 8.4 cents per pound is a slight increase over that of last year. Clarksville and Hopkinsville District. Weather has not been favorable for handling and stripping, and only about 3 per cent of the crop had.beeu delivered up to December 20. The early cutting, about 75 per cent of the crop, is of good quality, much better than last year. The remaining 25 per cent, cut late, was damaged by dry weather dur- ing cutting and curing and is of poor quality. Taken as a whole, the crop is better than a year ago. The average price of 9.4 cents per pound realized is 0.6 cent less than last year. VIRGINIA SUN-CURED DISTRICT. About 31 per cent of the crop had been delivered up to December 20. Since the crop has begun to move more mold and house burn is apparent than was expected. With this exception the quality is good, and about the same as last year. The average price of 8.9 cents per pound is slightly more than that paid a year ago. VIRGINIA DARK DISTRICT. Under the influence of favorable weather, the crop has been marketed much faster than usjal, about 43 per cent having be?n delivered up to Decem- ber 20. Early in the season the crop was believed to be much better than that of last year, but growers have been disappointed in the quality, which is about the same as a year ago. The average price of 8.3 cents per pound is a little more than was paid for the 1907 crop. BRIGHT VELLOW. DISTRICT. Old Belt: Virginia and North Carolina. Favorable conditions for handling prevailed, and the crop in this district was marketed much more rapidly than usual, 69 per cent having been delivered up to December 20. Wrappers and cut- ters are scarce, but medium grades are of exceptionally good quality, making the average about the same as last year. The average price of 10.3 cents per pound is 0.7 cent less than was paid for the 1907 crop. New Belt: Eastern North Carolina and South Carolina. About 93 per cent of crop was mar- keted up to December 20. In South Carolina and the southeastern part of the district in North Carolina it is in- ferior in quality to last year, on account of too much rain when the crop was being harvested. In the section around Rocky Mount, quality was much better than last year. Taken as a whole, the crop is not quite as good as in 1907. The average price, 10.5 cents, is the same as last year. MARYLAND AND EASTERN OHIO EXPORT. Nothing but a small per cent of ground leaves has been delivered in that part of this district lying in Mary- land. In Eastern Ohio and West Vir- ginia deliveries have been heavy, and about 13 per cent in the entire district has been marketed. Quality is better than last year; the price, 7.5 cents per pound, is 1 cent higher. PERIQUE. Reports from this district indicate a crop of better quality than last year and a price of 32 ceuts per pound. The amount marketed is not given.

CINCINNATI, OHIO Reported Good Trade in York. (Concluded from page 15) leaf. In fact it is said that his trans- actions were among the largest of the present year in this section of the country. John F. Reichard last week made a good sale of Wisconsin tobacco which was one of his most recent purchases. Mr. Keichard has increased his office force by installing a new book keeper, which enab'ea him to devote all his time to out ide work. During a con- versation with Mr. Re chard last week ihe writer was informed that the cigar factory at Craley. this county, did a very good business last year, and that every effort is being made to extend the business there. Ihe factory super- intendent is L W. Jackson, and he de- votes his entire time to the needs of the business at Craley. which is only occasionally visited by Mr. Reichard personally. Jake Kline, one of the old- est leaf tibacco salesmen of this county, is still doing very good in the leaf tobacco end of Mr. Reichard's business, from the York office. George M. Decker, a leaf tobacco packer of Janesville. Wis., was a visitor in this market last week. A trio of Philadelphia salesmen, con- sisting of L R tisenbrand. with Cull- man Bros.. N. Y., M. C. Meyers, with E. bpingarn& Co., N. Y., and Ellis Russell, connected with the brokerage uthce of H. C. Vetterlein, Philadelphia, made a one day's visit to York last Fri- day. George W. Parr, of Littlestown, be- gan the year under very favorable cir- cumstances, and has been receiving sufhcient orders to keep his full force sieadily at work Mr. Parr predicts that there will be a much brisker busi- ness in the cigar trade this year than there was last, and the year 1908 did not show up so badly at his factory, as nis output was at least up to the usual volume. Some new lines will be intro- duced during the present, year. The Reliable Scrap Co., of Red Lion, 18 doing a very fair trade under the directiori of Howard H. Minnich. A nice leat tobacco business is also being done. D. A. Horn, a Red Lion leaf tobacco dealer, has recently returned from a purchasing trip to Connecticut. W. M. Gemmill & Co. resumed oper- ations in their cigar factory last week, after a short shut down. J. D. Ryan. President of the J. D. Ryan Co., li hographers. of Cleveland, O., accompinied by Daniel A. May, the Vice President of the company, were visitors among the York county trade last week. Mr. Ryan informs me tnat Mr. May will give special atten- t'O" to. the Pennsylvania trade this year. The company, he said, had greatly increased its facilities by removing into a larger building. Additional and thor- oughly modern lithographic presses have been installed and the plant made one of the best and most completely equipped in the country. Mr. RyanAas always been extremely popular in this section of the country, and will no djubt continue to receive a good share of the business from this section. It was Mr. May's first trip through this section. H. W. Heffener, the well known York cigar box manufacturer, has just re- turned from a short trip through the South. W. A. Lahr, of Red Lion, wholesale cigar manufacturer, was last week on a business trip through Virginia and other sections of the South. Reports received from him indicated that he was meeting with success. Wolf Bros. & Reitz aie now comfort- rA.HUSSEvl LEAFMCfOO).

Baumgartner, one of the best known tobacco dealers in Alameda county, died at his home in this city last week after an illness of six weeks. Deceased was prominent in fraternal circles in this city, having been a mem- ber of the local Elks' lodge and of Live Oak Chapt r of the A. 0. U. W. He was widely known in the tobacco trade, and one of ihe most popular men on the coast. Leaf Tobacco Markets sold 9 acres for 12^ cents to E H. Smith of Springfield. James A. Warner and C. Granger, sold to same party. Hass of New Milford, has been in town today buying of E. M. Wright, L, S. Jenks. and J. G. Freeland, sold to be delivered on the cars at once." North Hatfield, Mass. : "I report the sale of 6 acres by Robert Dickinsoo, and William Dickinson 2 acres to A. T. Company, John and Dennis Filzgibbins, 9 acres in bundle, to McHugh of Hat- field, Mass.— American Cultivator. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. The bulk of the tobacco sold and shipped ffjm this market has been bought by ihe American Tobacco Co. During the past week they have loaded and shippe j from 30 to 35 tons, all of a low grade and at low prices. What will becom ; of the balance of the crop it is hard lo conjecture, with the cry of, "It is just binders and nothing more." I have heard it said many times within the past two years that there was hardly a case of wrappers in this town. But for all this talk we follow this fame tobacco to the tables and see it soited into wrappers, seconds and fillers, and the strange part of the whole affair is that 50 to 60 per cent. is marked and packed as wrappers, and more, it is Eold and bought by the manufacturers and used as wrappers. And very few will doubt my words when I eay that five or six pounds of good wrappers will wrap as many cigars as one pound of Sumatra wrappers, which costs from $2 50 to $^50 per pound. Then they affect the impudence of the trade. and offer you 10 cents per pound. Tnink of it and see if you want any of the import duty removed; for if it is taken off why next year you will receive their impudence and perhaps 6 or 7 cents per pound. This afternoon I was invited to look at a crop of tobacco grown by Willie Wolfram at Hinsdale, N. H. This is a fine crop, furnishing from 20 to 25 per cent, of good, light wrapper leaf. On examination of the medium wrappers, I told him they should be gone through again and one-half of them put into lights. It is as good a crop as one ever saw. Many lots have been sold this fall of which no report has been made on account of the low prices as I sup- pose. These crops I have heard of my- self but it seemed too late to report the same. Probably 50 per cent of the crops in this locality have been sold for a price at from 6i to 10 cents, and 12 cents in the bundle. Our correspondents write: Hatfield. Mass. "All of our hail cut tobacco has been sold to the American Tobacco Co. The only sale the past week has been the Whalen Brothers, 23 acres in the bundle, at private termi." Feeding Hills, Mass. : "Several sales have been made of late. Taylor Bros. NEW YORK STATE. Baldwinsville— The local tobacco mar- ket has opened up and a number of buyers have been in the field during the last few days at>d sales have been re- ported ranging from 5 to 9 cents in the bundle. Among the buyers in the field are Robert Cans of New York City, who has been buying in the vicinity of Lysander, E. C. Munroe, Charles Nor- throp, Wallace Lee, Orville Gifford and John Frawley for the American To- bacco Company. Lysander— Charles Northrop has pur- chased many crops of tobacco in Lysan- der, prices ranging from 6J to 7 cents a pound. Pleasant Valley—Nearly all the to- bacco in this vicinity has been taken from the poles and the growers are stripping it from the stalks. Several sales have been reported with prices ranging from 6 to 8 cents in the bundle. —Gazette. EDGERTON, WIS. The new crop is moving again more extensively than for many weeks past. Buyers have been traveling continu- ously in all sections during the week and growers are bt coming more rtcon- ciled to the prices offered, so that a good many hundred acres have been lifted during the week. The American Tobacco Co. is taking the larger share, but many local dealers are also in the field, and altogether it looks as if the movement for the cheaper grades was under way that is likely to absorb the greater portion of the crop. Prices, however, are several points under those that prevailed for the choice lots earlier in the season. The following sales will show the trend : John Walters. 18a at 7 and 3c. Hans Serns, 6a at 7 and 2c. Geo. W. Coxhead. 3a at 6i and 2c. Henry Krause. 3d at 7 and 2c. Keeley & FJarity. 18a at 7 and 2c. O. D. Brace. 8a at 7 and 2c. Frank Cook. 4a at 7 and 2c. Thos.

Transactions ate largely confined to cheaper grades of a4i cured U&t and several hundred cases have moved dur- ing the week, some going to till export orders. ^ Receiving of the new crop is quite general at delivery points and ware- house handling is progressing quite sat- isfactorily.

The tentative programme for action by the society in regard to the crop of 1909 was discussed and will be presented at the meeting of the tobacco union in Louisville and will be more fully con- sidered at the next meeting of the Bur- ley Society in this city January 28. No effort will be made to control the acre- age for the present year, but it is hoped that most of the crop will be pooled. The delegates from th(>! various coun- ties say that since the effort of the Burley Society to secure a fair price for the crop is an assured success, but few growers will refuse to pool their crop of 1909. «««««%^ NEW WISCONSIN PLANT Opening of Chippewa Falls Ware- house by Growers' Assoc'n. Chippewa Falls. Wis., Jan. 20. President Solberg and the directors of the Chippewa Valley Tobacco Grow- ers' Association met in the city today to make plans for the opening of the new tobacco packing bouse. It was de- cided to open the plant Monday, Janu- ary 25. Plans were also perfected for raising the necessary money for paying the wages of those who will be employed at the packing house. It is believed that the plant will be in operation for about two months. Tobacco will commence coming in next week. The tobacco grown in the vicinity of the city will oe shipped in by team, while the weed grown in Dunn and Eau Claire counties will come in by railway. Over 300.000 pounds will be shipped to the oicy for packing. The directors of the association are : Daniel Danielson, of Cadott, Louii Bue, of the town of Anson, Frank Myers and John Larson, of Colfax, and Gus Hagen, of the town of LaFayette. E. A.

Many New Buyers Arrive and Sales Increase. Prices Firmly Maintained on Favorite Grades. A Month of Buying at the Present Rate Will Eliminate the 1908 Crop from Stocks on Hand. Special Correspondence The market last week was lively ^again, as many new buyers, added to those who were already here, gladdened the hearts of our packers and dealers, and the result was that the total of sales ran up to the five figure mark. Prices are firmly maintained in all vegas which possess merit, and only on ^oods which are not prime are the holders willing to shade their asking prices and meet the buyers. If the present activity keetsup for another month there will be nothing left over from last year's crop in first hands, although the American houses estab- Jished here may perhaps be able to sup- ply what may be missing. This suppo- sition would only ho!d true if their regular customers should not 1 kewise ' be eager to purchase, as in the latter <:ase their stocks might also become exhausted. The American packers of leaf tobacco have a very extensive and sood clientele of customers whose wants iiave to be taken care of, therefore if their own packings are not suflicient to cover these needs they supply the miss- ing quantity by further purchases in our market, and it seems that this year they have been obliged to have recourse to this measure to a very large extent. As the demand from the United States during the past year has been exceed- ingly keen and widespread our Ameri- can houses may perhaps carry only light stocks for eventual new custom- «r8. Whether the balance of the 19U7 crop will participate in the closing out sales remains to be seen. This leaf has had the benefit of a two years storage and its exceedingly strong quality ought to have been toned down by this time. Some local manufacturers claim that it makes an excellent smoke and they are buyint? this leaf now.

Sol received some good orders last week, so that Behrens & Co. antici- ipated the coming demand upon a large scale by buying some more leaf from the lowland section of the Vuelta Abajo. Baylns* Selling and Other Notes of Interest. Jacob Labe left here on the 16th instant, per steamer Saratoga, feeling well pleased with the ten days spent here. He has purchased about 1,200 bales of choice leaf. Manuel Menendez Parra sold 3,000 bales of Remedies to his old customers, Fred. Opp, of Weinheimer & Opp, and F. Rice, of the Rice Mfg. Co., St. Louis. Howard Friend is reported to have purchased about 700 bales of all kinds of leaf, among which were some very •choice vegas from the lowland section of the Vuelta Abajo. The Friend Leaf Tobacco Co. is now in a position to •offer its customers as fine a class of to- bacco as has grown upon the island of Cuba. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez sold 500 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedies last week. Harry Spingarn purchased 1,000 bales of leaf tobacco. Muniz Hnos. & Co. were sellers of 400 bales of Vuelta Abajo. S. Herzog was a buyer, according to bis own statement, of 663 bales of leaf tobacco. A Pazos & Co. disposed of 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Sol.

Rotterdam will have one New York Leaf Market. During the past week there developed some tangible indication of returning activity in the leaf tobacco market. It was not particularly characterized by the great volume of business done dur- inscription, on May 7th. ing the week, but rather by the pres- • • • ence of a greater number of buyers who were busy in inspecting offerings and noting general conditions. The actual business done consisted mostly of small lot sales, but which were rather numerous and the aggregate was also considerable. Prices are mod- erate and still considerably below the figures demanded for good leaf of the crops of several years previous. There was, however, no marked demand for any particular type of leaf in the line of domestic tobaccos. • • • The Cltfar Manufacturers. The cigar manufacturing branch of the industry is, according to the gen- eral report, showing signs of a steady gain both in the volume of business and in the easier comparative market con- ditions.

There is some dissatisfaction among many of the local cigar dealers, who declare that the season has not pro- gressed with them as it should, and they are visibly affected.

Trade is Still Quiet and Growlers are in Evidence, but Improve- ment is Confidently Expected. {Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World" 212 Hanover Street] Boston. Mass., Jan. 25. Trade conditions are still quiet here and one can hear lots of grumbling in going the rounds of the trade, yet visit- ing salesmen report good business and the prospects for a speedy improvement look very promising. Cigarette salesmen are plugging for business very hard here and as the trust is doing a lot of free sampling to boom up their brands the competition is very keen. George E. Haskins. representing R. A. Bachia & Co., New York, clear Ha- vana cigar manufacturers, was in town this week calling on his many friends. Mr. Haskins has been taking it quite easy for several months ; owing to the severe illness of his wife he has kept at close proximity to her bedside. Morris Levy, of the American and West Indies Trading Co., was here Monday and Tuesday and called on the trade in company with Emil Abrahams, who recently took on this account for the New England States. The La Turina hand made by this concern is a big seller in this market with the better class of trade. The Nestor Gianaclis Co. is doing lots of local advertising with their Nestor brand. These goods are being pushed over the counters by the men behind, owing to the personality of Charlie Ellis. In fact one of the cigar stands at the South Station sells nothing but Nestor and Royal Nestor cigar- ettes, and this is only one instance where this brand has full sway. Either smoke Nestors or go without is the slogan. Rosenthal Bros.' Special, the five- cent invincible shape cigar, is selling so well here that I understand the unions are getting after the dealers who are using same as a leader, in an effort to try and euro their increasing sale. George L. Finn, manager of the cigar department at Metcalf 's Tremont street branch, is increasing the business nicely since he took hold. Mr. Finn has had years of experience in the cigar line and the concern is to be congratulated on having such an able man at the head of this department, George is very (Concluded from p. 14) There is a certain grade of SIFTINGS (you might call it tobacco dust) that we are paying a high price for.

A. Calves & Co. IMPORTERS of Havana, 123 North Third street PHILADELPHIA ^^MTHE TOBACCO W O R L D ^^» THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS There has been only a routine busi- 0688 reported in the leaf trade for the past week. There appears to be ample inquiry for goods, but the purchases run in small lots. It would seem that manufacturers have not yet full confi- dence in the permanency of trade im- provement and therefore are not in- clined to lay in heavily of additional stock. In Sumatra tobacco the business was little if any different from the condi- tions in the seed leaf market, inasmuch as the purchases made were entirely in a hand to mouth sort of way, and goods were taken mostly by manufacturers and retailing leaf tobacco houses. The Havana market has remained unchanged. There is no unusual activ- ity, but desirable offerings are receiv- ing careful consideration. The manufacturing trade here seems to be doing about as well as the cigar manufacturing industry anywhere is finding it, yet there is far from a rush of any kind, and none is expected either for some time to come, although the majority of manufacturers are speaking hopefully of the prospects as they ap- pear to them. Some encouraging re- ports are coming in from those who are out on the road. H. F. Kohler, a cigar manufacturer, of York, has been circulating in the cigar trade here lately, in company with his salesman, George W. Mason, also of York, and who is well acquain- ted with the trade here. Morris D. Theobald, formerly con- nected with the cigar manufacturing firm of Theobald & Oppenheimer, and a son of one of the founders of the firm, died last week at his home, 2217 North Broad street, after an illness of but a few hours. He was in the fifty- fourth year of his age, and unmarried. Julius Vetterlein. of Julius Vetterlein & Co., has just returned from a tour of inspection around the leaf tobacco mar- kets of Wisconsin. \ ■7 THE TOBACCO WORLD ESTABLISHED 1881 Published Every Wednesday BY THE INCORPORATED 1902 TOBACCO WORLD PUBLISHING CO.

Grabosky, of the Empire Leaf Tobicco Co., has joined the Knights of the Grip and will hereafter represent bis house on the road. Benny is a very popular member of the younger ele- ment in the trade and makes friends everywhere. When heard from last week at Reading he was being received very cordially by the trade and re- minded the office of his absence by Bending in some fair sized orders. He is expecting to extend his territory to the Western States ere long. Harry W. Bremer, of Lewis Bremer's Sons, who had been confined to his home by severe illness for about two months, is again able to be at the office attending to the many business affairs of this old time sterling house. In ex- pressing pleasure in seeing Mr. Bremer on Third street again we voice the unanimous sentiment of the trade. John W. Wartman, of the North Third street leaf tobjtcco firm of John W. Wartman & Co., is laid up with an at- tack of rheumatism, from which he has been suffering more or lef" 'or several weeks. 12 Chas. and Fred. Hippie, of Hippie Bros. & Co., have been hustling quite actively through the State lately. Chas. Hippie is making preparations for an extended trip through the West, and may go as far as the Pacific Coast. Chas. E. Crawford, with Dohan & Taitt, recently returned from a pur- chasing trip to Havana, where he spent several weeks in making careful selec- tions of new 'Stocks for his firm. Jacob Labe, of B. Labe & Sons, also returned last week from a trip to Ha- vana, and announces that his purchases amount to about 1,200 bales, nearly half of which have already been received here. Sig. C. Mayer, of Sig. C. Mayer & Co., is still touring through the South, and, by the way, he is said to be secur- ing a very wholesome amount of busi- ness on the trip. Henry G. Wemmer, of the widely known cigar manufacturing firm of Deisel- Wemmer Co., of Lima, O., stop- ped off at Philadelphia last week to call on a few personal friends. He was en route to New York. Asa W. Lake, with George Burghard, was last week renewing old acquaint- ances in New Jersey, where he has a good following of customers. Louis Leopold, of John Leopold & Son, New York, was a visitor here last week. He was chaperoned about town by Dick Salomon, who recently returned from a trip through the West, where he is said to have a very good trade. Jacob Langsdorf, a son of Morris Langsdorf, of the firm of Jacob Langs- dorf'a Sons, tendered a reception to a number of friends a few nights ago, just prior to his departure for Kansas City, where he goes to look after the interests of his father's business. ••Jack" Fowler, manager of the Phil- adelphia ofl^ e .jf the United States To- bacco Co., and its general traveling representative, has recently returned fromi an extended trip and is now busy- ing himself with the local trade, where the products of that firm also have a big dtmand. "Jack" reports that his trip was a very satisfactory one, and that their goods are well received in the territory he covered.

Reading, Pa., Jan. 26. The cigar trade in ttiis city is at present rather dull, even among the larger factories. There has been some talk that one of the largest concerns contemplates closing down temporarily if things do not brighten up very soon. On the other han J, we find that several of the factories are receiving a fair share of business. George W. Lehr has been out lately to visit some of the jobbing trade, and when seen by the writer expressd him- self as being pretty well satisfied with the results of his efforts. Chas. Ream, a union manufacturer, has his usual force of cigarmakers at the bench, but he reports that there is not the life in trade that he would like CO see. Phares Hildebrand, a leaf salesman, is, doing a fair business for the pack ing firm of E. L. Nissly & Co., of Florin. Pa., who are very extensive handlers of domestic leaf tobacco. John U. Fehr & Son are engaged in putting up a packing of 1908 Connecti- ;:ut tobacco. Mr. Fehr recently re turned from a visit to the Connecticut valley tobacco district. Henry Rindskopf, formerly engaged in the leaf tobacco business in this city, is nuw in Lancaster, Pa. Henry Hermann's Sons are very nicely located at 46 and 48 Madison avtnue, where they have an elegantly appointed building well adapted to their requirements. It was remodeled with a Fpecial view to their convenience, aid is so consttucted that it can be en- larged at comparatively moderate cost. RATHER SLOW in YORK COUNTY years and has a large acquaintance in the trade. Mr. Kohler has just re- turned from a week's trip in company with Mr. Mason, most of which time was spent in Philadelphia and vicinity. W. A. Lahr, wholesale cigar manu- facturer at Red Lion, has returned from a two weeks' buE>iness trip through the South and reports Eatisfactory re- sults. Some desirable new accounts were opened by him, which is making him hopeful of a good outlet for addi- tional quan ities of his manufacture. H. L. Haines, with the cigar factory of T. E. Brook & Co., recently returned from a business trip among his old cus- tomers, by whom he was not only cord- ially received, but was favored with some substantial orders for his line of goods. Gus. Neuwahl, a well known and popular cigar broker of Altoona, has been circulating among the factories of this county recently. S. R. Kocher, of Wrightsville, is packing a goodly quantity of the 1908 crop of leaf at his Wrightsville ware- house. LANCASTER CO. LEAF MARKET 16 Cigar Factories are Working, but No Drive is Reported. York, Pa., Jan. 25. Slow progress is apparently made in the tobacco trade of this section. Ci- gar manufacturers have some orders, but there is still lacking the vim which is necessary to get things going rightly. A few of the factories have been per- haps more fortunate than some others, and they are employing pretty good forces, but the majority may be said to be working on a limited output per day. ^ Tobacco salesmen were here in strong force during the past week, and all seem to have done some business, yet we did not hear any of them claiming to have performed miracles as sales- men. Cigar box factories are working moderately well, which shows that the cigar manufacturers are doing some- thing right along, and it may be that the output for the month will not show BO badly after all. H. F. Kohler, of Nashville, has se- cured the services of George W. Mason, of York, as a general traveling repre- sentative for his factories. Mr. Mason , has been engaged in that line for many Shows Little Animation. Pack- ers are Mostly Interested in the 1908 Leaf, Now Coming In. Lancaster, Pa., Jan., 25. The market has been rather dull on seed leaf tobacco for the past week. Packers were busying themselves with the new crops, some of which they are now receiving and packing, and some they are still trying to buy. The prices dropped a couple of cents a pound a short time ago, although it appears that they are up to about twelve cents again, but no rapid progress is being made in buying the remainder of the crops at that figure. Deliveries are now being made in larger quantities than at any time this season, and packers are increasing their forces of tobacco handlers. Leaf is coming in in a generally satisfactory condition, and packers so far seem rather well satisfied with their pur- chases, especially those who bought early. The cigar trade still remains dull, and several of the larger factories in this city are not yet in full operation. The branch of the Federal Cigar Co. which was closed down two weeks ago has not yet resumed. The S. R. Moss Cigar Co. won a com- plete victory in the Common Pleas court when the suit brought in conse- quence of the erection of their new building came up for trial recently. When the contract for the erection of the building was given out it was on the specific terms that it should be turned over to them in complete form and free of all mechanics' liens. It appears, however, that much of the work was done by sub-contractors who failed to get their money and proceeded to file mechanics' liens on the building. It was these liens that the S. R. Moss Co. had to and did successfully combat. THE TOBACCO WORLD ' Telephone Call, 432— B Office and Warehouse: FLORIN, PA. Located on Main Line of Pennsylvania R. R. E. L. NISSLY (SI CO.

Theo. Bixby, with the Florida To- bacco Co., of New York, and Chas. Horwitz, with the Florida and Georgia Tobacco Co., of New York, have been ^ere and both did a nice business in Florida tobacco. In addition John F. Heiland &. Co., who have the agency for Taussig & Co.'s line of Florida, also had a very satisfactory trade dur- ing I he week. Mitchell & Ottinger, who recently opened office headquarters here, have already placed a consider- able quantity of gocds in this section, and last week wired the warehouse at Qjincy to rush more stock on, which is expected to arrive at any time. Albert Koshland, a leaf tobacco sales- man, Alfred Penner, with the well known packing and importing firm of Uuhan & Taitr, Philadelphia, and Stephen Friend, making his initial visit here in the interest of the Friend Ha- vana Co., of New York, were among the week's visitor?. The factory of A. D. Killheffer, at Milleraville, is being operated with a good force of cigarmakers, and sales are reported to be very satisfactory for this time of the year. Mr. Kill- lutfer employs no traveling salesmen iind his goods are all sold by mail rrders, and yet the factory is among the most uniformly busy in that sec- tion of the country. The Globe Cigar Co., at Ephrata, re- ports that business with them has been fair since the brginning of this year, and that they are looking for a steady gain in the volume of trade. A new leaf tobacco house is being started here under the name of the Lancaster Cigar Leaf Co., and will have its headquarters at ?5 East Orange street, which premises are now being gotten into readiness. DEATH OF Mr. A. P. SNADER. Weil-Known Cigar Manufacturer Dies After an Illness of Many Months. Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 25, A. P. Snader, of the cigar manufac- turing firm of A. P. Snader & Co., at Ephrata, died today, after an illness of nine months. . Mr. Snader has for a number of years been prominent in the cigar trade at Ephrata, but was stricken with paral- ysis last spring, from which he never fully recovered. He had apparently improved very much and recently was at his office on nice days. During his illness the business was very intelligently taken care of by his daughter, Mab(;l, who has become quite an expert in the art of manufacturing and marketing cigars. Funeral services will be held on Thursday next at the residence of the deceased in Ephrata. rA.HUSSEvl lEAfMCfOO).

Nothing very favorable appears this week in the line of tobacco, either in the sales or removing the crops to the sorting shops, although the shops have been kept busy, but with a smaller force of men than last year. A few sales have hieu made by the local packers to Ne^r York parties at prices that are not givtn out, but probably at about the going price of the sweated 1907 tobacco. Among the lots sold are two from North Hadley, one at North Hatfield by E. C. Warner, and one at Whately by Seth B. Crafts. These were whole lots, wrappers binders and fillers. Since the sale Mr. Crafts has been called to join the great majority. Mr. Crafts owned one of the best farms in Whately, was a good farmer and raised about twelve or more acres of tobacco annually. He died January 17 at sixty-eight years of age. Mr. Swift has Eold his fillers and scrubs to the American Tobacco Co., 58 cases to be shipped to Richmond, Va. Of the old goods there were 154 cases. There have been more deliveries within two or three days than for a long time except the hail cut. There are a few more lots of slightly hail-cut tobacco that cannot be bought iot the 6^ cent price, one of about 8 acres owned by Patrick Connelly of Whately. This crop, coQId it have been harvested without its hav- ing been struck by hail, would have been one of the best crops grown in Whately the past season, and as it is much of it shows fine now. A number of sales of tobacco crops have been made in the past few days, but at very low prices, in the majority of cases 6 to 8 cents are the prevailing prices ; one crop, however, at 12J cents. One farmer figured Tuesday that all tobacco Fold for less than 12 cents a pound was sold at a loss, as he claimed that it cost that much to raise it. The cause, he said, was the advanced price of labor and fertilizer, making an in- crease of 2 cents per pound over the former 10 cent cost. Our correspondents write: Southwick, Mass. : "Several tobacco growers have been experimenting the past season with different hybrids. The crop of A. H. Coe, consisting of the ordinary Havana and hybrid Havana Sumatra is now being put in the case. The hybrids make a very favorable showing. The leaves are large and of light color, of fine texture, soft, silky, with attenuated veins. J. W. Doherty estimates it will average 60 per cent, wrappers." North Hatfield. Mass. : "I report the sale of the following lots of tobacco: Paul Olerich. 4 acres, William Con- nelly, 4 acres, Mrs. Kate Flynn, 3 acres to Mr. Boyle of Hatfield, Mass."— American Cultivator. sales have been reported during the past week. E. C. Munroe has been very active in the buying. Wallace Lee, OrvilleJGifford, Charles Northrop and M. Tobin are buying. J. W. Up- son on Tuesday received from Dewey Gates the first new crop delivered here, consisting of 8,300 pounds of Little Connecticut variety of fillers, grown on four acres. Mr. Upson opened up his warehouse this morning for the hand- ling nf the new crop. Prices range fronaj 5 to 9 cents.— Gazette. 20 NEW YORK STATE. Baldwinsville.— A large number of EDGERTON, WIS. The buying movement is now beinir pushed in the Southern growing sec- tions as vigorously as any time since the early sales. Growers have appar- ently become reconciled to the lower prices offered for the cheaper grades of the crop and without question several thousand acres have been lifted during the week. The American Tobacco (]o. is still the largest operator but many other firms who have an outlet for low grade leaf have men posted in the grow- ing districts as well as a good many local dealers. At the present rate the crop seems likely to be taken over in short order. Sales that indicate the range of prices are: Peterson Bros., 12a at 7 and 2c. Nels Rippen. 10a at 7 and 2c. A.

Deliveries are being made plentifully at receiving points and warehouse handling is well under way, though as yet it has not reached the volume of other years.

Growers in Valley Disappointed in Their Hopes of a Profitable Crop. The visions of last August, when every farmer in the Connecticut valley who raises tobacco thought he saw much fine gold coming to him from his crop, have been dispelled. Many grow- ers who sold their crops early in the season received good prices ; but those who are selling now are not so fortun- ate, except in a few cases, where the crop is especially fine. What of the 1908 crop was good, was of the finest quality, but the promise of a banner crop early in the year was spoiled by the long drouth and other causes. The long dry and hot spell last summer brought white veins to the tobacco, eo that leaves which would have other- wise made first quality wrappers are no better than second grade. Another cause for the low prices for the 1908 crop is the larg^ oversupply of 1907 tobacco, much of which is still in the hands of the farmers. The 1907 crop was not so good as the 1908 crop ; in fact, it was practically a failure. But the farmers had the crop, no matter how valuable it was. and the carrying over one year of this load has been a financial problem of no i^mall moment to many growers. The crop is moving very slowly, and few of ihe packing houses are working. The pabt week has seen, however, a little stimu- lup, for the buyers are on their second round. The buyers make their first buying trip early in the year and pick up the best crops at that time, and usu- ally pay good prices. On the second trip, however, they take poorer grades of tobacco, and this accounts for the difference in price received by the early sellers and thos6 who are just now dis- posing of their tobacco. It is not si much a lowering of the price, but it is due rather to the quality of the goods. —Springfield Republican. At the annual meeting of the Independent Tobacco Manufacturers' Associa- tion of the United States, held at Washington, D. C, recently, Mr. Hugh Camp- btll. President of the United States Tobacco Co.. Richmond, Va., was re elected President oc the Association, to serve for the ensuing year. W. F. Axton, of the Axton-Fisht*r Tobacco Co., Louisville, Ky., was elected Vice President, and R F. Whalen, of R. Whalen & Co., Rochester, N. Y., was re-elected Secretary and Treasurer. The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic yet held, and many matters were considered and measures adopted which will undoubtedly prove of benefit to all independent manufacturers. The report of President Campbell was a highly interesting document, and is presented here in full. It was as follows: Since our last annual meeting twelve presented by a great array of the most eventful months in the tobacco business learned and poweifai counsel to be have passed, and we are here gathered found in this country— felt that at last together to review the more important we would learn whether the law of the occurrences and to fathom their effect lanJ could be ignured by a corporation upon our business interests. proviJed it was bi»j anJ powerful.

C, Men Fight Measure and Urge Its Defeat. Winston, N. C, Jan. 28. That the anti-trust bill as advocated t)y Senator Lockhart, which is believed to be aimed at the American Tobacco Company, is not wanted here was unan- imously resolved by the Tobacco Board of Trade at a meeting yesterday. Op- position to the measure is based on the belief that the bill would not only be •detrimental to the tobacco interests of this city, but to the farmers and deal- ers as well. The Forsyth representa- tives will be urged to oppose the adop- tion of the measure. Sterling Smith, President of the Board, presided at the meeting at which practically all of the local to- bacco manufacturers were present. The committee that will draw up the resolution is composed of W. R. Leak, of the Brown Williamson Co., T. S. Kucker, of the Whitaker-Harvey Co., and R. W. Gorrell. of A. B. Gorrell & Sons. It was noted at the meeting ttiat the advocates of the bill are those living in counties where tobacco is not grown. Senator Lockhart, who succeeded the late Senator Reid, being a case in point.

Cigar Factories a Little Brisker. Some New Ones Lately Opened. A Merited Compliment. Reading. Pa., Feb. 1. The cigar trade in this city has been very dull for the past few weeks with a majority of the factories, but it Eeems to be brightening up a little now. Quite a number of new factories are opening in this section, according to a report received from Deputy Revenue Collector, Fred. W. Cranston. R. P. Eichman has opened a cigar factory at Womelsdorf.

Reed & Bro. are open- ing a new cigar factory at Womelsdorf. W. S. Schaeifer has closed out his cigar factory at Wernersville. Eline & Kutz, of this city, recently moved to a new factory building at 645 North Ninth street. The County Commissioners recently inspected the cigar manufacturing plant of Otto Eisenlohr & Bros., at Boyertown, and in issuing a certificate endorsing the fire escape upon the build- ing they took occasion to state that they had never visited a cleaner or more up-to-date factory building, nor one which is better equipped with pub- lic safety appliances. About 500 hands are employed at the factory. Slot Machine Co. Incorporated. Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 28. The Arkansas Silent Salesman Com- pany filed articles of incorporation yesterday.

That hopeful of being able to issue orders for the quantities of goods which they had been accustomed to take before the effects of the panic of 1907 struck them so severely, that they began to curtail their purchases and have not yet so fully recovered as to be enabled to adopt old time methods. the remaining Pennsylvania tobaccos are also gradually but steadily chang- ing hands is fully evidenced by 'the transactions of the week, and the change in prices, which are showing some advance. Connecticut tobaccos have also come in for a greater share of attention, as it is expected there will be need for additional supplies of bin- der leaf, and the Connecticut offerings are regarded as the most serviceable substitute for the Wisconsin leaf, if that type should fail to meet the re- quired supply. Sumatra tobaccos have been moving with some freedom and the volume of business was perceptably larger than Sam. H. Harris Retires. Sam. H. Harris, who has been promi- nently identified with the cigarette trade in this city for some years, after coming here from Chicago, 111., has sold out his interest in the Khedivial Co. and will retire, it is said, for good from the cigarette business.

Premises have been secured at 224 Livingston street. Brooklyn, and manu- facturing of cigars has already been commenced. A. S. Cutler, who is the Secretary of the new company has been in the cigar lousiness for some time at 599 Broad- way, New York, and is one of the most ■active members of the corporation. • a • Death of Geo. V. Watson. George V. Watson, of the Havana importing firm of George V. Watson, and well known in the tobacco trade, •tiled at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y.. last week, from acute stomach trouble. Mr. Watson has been identified with the leaf trade of New York city for a number of years, having been previ- ously engaged in the tobacco business in New York State. In 1879 he started in business on his own account and had built up a prosperous trade. Mr. Watson was sixty-five years of age, and is survived by a sister and one brother, and the latter has been ap- pointed executor of the estate. Maurice Storm Enters Manufac- turlnii Trade. Maurice Storm, who for the past twelve years has been connected with the cigar firm of George L.

Storm, Maurice Robinson, Samuel Fisher and Julius Lehmann. under a partnership arrangement which went into effect on February 1. • • • Cl^ar Dealers in Convention. Two hundred delegates attended the first annual convention of the Cigar Manufacturers and Dealers' League, at Odd Fellows' Hall, No. 67 St. Mark's Place, last night. Si3al Prince, the President, pre- sided, and resolutions were adopted de ploring the offering of any bill in the Legislature that would tend to local option or prohibition in the State, on the ground that where such laws are in force the cigar industry is killed. a • ■ Trade Notes. Dick Davis returned la^^t Saturday from a short stay in Havana, where he purchased a considerable amount of leaf.

DEATH OF CHAS. E. LARUS AND WN. D. STRATER. During the past year the dread de- stroyer has seriously afflicted us, and with profound sorrow I have to an- nounce the death of two of our ablest, most valued and fondly esteemed mem- bers. On Saturday, March 21, 1908, Chas. D. Larus, President of Larus & Brother Company, died suddenly at his home, and on Sunday, May 24, 1908, Wm. E. Scrater, of Stratet Brothers Tobacco Company, was lamentaoly drowned while bathing. Both of these manufaciurers were full of vigor and strength, and were struck down with- out any illness or warning, and passed to the Great Beyond, followed by the heartfelt grief of their associates in business and of the community in which they resided. They left behind them great, good names ; they were earnest and highly honorable merchants and manufacturers, and those of us who are left should endeavor to emulate their sterling worth. Mr. Larus was a member of this Association from its incipiency, and was as regularly at our meetings as tho^e meetings were held. Mr. Strater's firm joined us somewhat later, but from the time of his connec- tion with us he was an enthusiastic, able worker in the matters which our Association had in hand. ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP INCREASING. I am glad to be able to ^ay that the membership of our Association is larger now than it has ever been before, and that the interest in and appreciation of the work of the Association is becoming more and more evident. During the past year many new members have been added to ojr list, and I cannot under- stand why every independent tobacco manufacturer in the United States, who can sign our qualification of member- ship papers, is not a member. They have certainly all benefited by the work of the Association, and I hope that ere long those who are still outside the pale will take courage and join us. rA.HUSSEvl lEATTOMOJOa).

Grimes, one of the bf|8t known retail cisar men in the city, jind Charles O. Darmer, formerly in ^he plumbing business with Charles Pres- ton, have bcught the cigar stori) und billiard parlor of Lesem & Barkeri lo- cated at 156 North Main street. Jhis is one of the oldest and best kno\)y|| es- tablishments of its kind in all Wi»;bita. and was originally started by W> A. Johns'^n, more than a dozen yeajCf ago, and was a favorite at that tjf|9iB for local politicians and men about ^own. It has passed through many and varied vicissitudes since that period, but the present proprietors are determined not only to bring it up to its original high plane of popularity, but to conduct it in such a manner that it will become the natural and general rendezvous for the better element who have $ few mo- ments time now and then for a quiet smoke or some form of light entertain- ment where there are no objectionable characters or features of «ny kind. That the present proprietors are amply able to carry out their present intentions will be readily admitted by their many friends and acquaintances. They know how, in the first place; and with years of experience in the retail cigar business they are enabled to select the right goods and keep them in just the proper condition to meet the public's approval. Everything is to be brought up to the highest standard of excellence; the pool and billiard tables have had a thor- ough overhauling and fitted with new cushions and covers, etc. They will carry a full line of im- ported, Key West and domestic cigars, smoking tobaccos, pipes and smokers' supplies generally ; also an elegant line of the best package candies, and, in fact, everything pertaining to a first class smoke house. Leal Tobacco Markets day to day announcement we find a good many mistakes. Our correspondents write : Hatfield, Mass. : "I have to report the sale by Alvin Strong, of West Hat- filed, Mass., of 12 to 14 acres to Whalen Brothers, reported price of 10^ cents/' North Hatfield, Mass. : "Mr. Wol- fram has taken 62 cases out of the sweat room, sampled the lot and sent the samples to New York. Pretty early in the season to be shipping the 1908 goods to market. But times are changed from boyhood days. Thomas Flynn sold 69 acres to Max Mendelsohn of Sunderland at 10 cents in bundle. "~ American Cultivator. NEW YORK STATE. Baldwinsville. The local buyers are still actively in the market and a number of sales are reported. Among the out-of-town buy- ers who have been here the past week are Wm. Gheen, of Jersey Shore, and Robert Granat, of York, Pa. At J. W. Upson's warehouse, which opened last week, a force is at work handling the new crop. F. M. Dunham opened his warehouse this week and has a force at work assorting for the grow- ers. The market price remains the same as last week, from 5 to 9 cents. — Gazette. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. Not for a number of years have we had ^uch good weather to handle to- bacco in the bundle, or for shop^ handl- ing, for vfJB hav« had but very few days of cold, zero weather. Sundays we were treated to a real thunder. storm, accom- panied with hail. Who is there that did not read last fall of the great num- ber of snow storms we were to have, and the cold weather that would afflict us this present winter, and how many people believe in the prognostications of the would be scientists, who proph- esy for six months ahead ; it is time that we quit these old fogy notions and get to work on the prognostications of the .Government as pfinted every day in our papers, and even in this EDGERTON, WIS. The buying movement is still being crowded on under a good deal of head- way. There is probably not much less than half a hundred buyers riding the growing districts of the State this week and the aggregate sales must foot up- wards of a thousand or two acres. That the crop has been moving faster recently than any time since the mar- ket opened is generally conceded. While the bulk of the sales have been of the cheaper grades, quite a good deal of the better lots are taken over around the 8 cent mark. The following sales show prices : Ben Johnson, 7a at 7 and 2c. T. H. Christenson, 6a at 7 and 2c. L. J. Corbin, 8a at 7 and 2c. Martin Fouling, 8a at 7 and 2c. W. Bloske, 9a at 7 and 2Jc. H. F. Stewart, 3a at 6i and 2c. E. Vobin. 4a at 6 and 2c. Ed. Corbin. 4a at 6i and 2c. Frank Brewer, 2ia at 7 and 2Jc. That improved conditions are gradu- ally returning to the cured leaf mar- kets is being reflected in a stronger de- "niand for old goods, even though the -prices have not materially advanced. E. C. Hopkins has disposed of a lOOcs packing of '06 to Spitzner, and Stephen Haight about an equal amount to Vet- terlein. H. T. Sweeney has purchased about 200cs of '07 from growers during the week, and W. T. Pomeroy & Co. have sold a 75cs lot to export. About all the hanging tobacco was taken down during the casing weather last week, so that deliveries and ware- house handling is steadily progressing. Shipments: 932 cases.— Reporter.

Cressman's • • 5r the act of July 2, 1890,' etc., the Attu.'ney General filed a certificate stating that in his opinion the cause was of general public importance, and thereafter the same was proceeded with as directed by the expediting act. It was heard before the four circuit judges of the second •circuit in May, 1908, and their opinions were handed down on the 7th of No- Arember last. The final decree, entered December 15, 1908, dismissed the peti- tion as to certain defendants; adjudged that some of them are parties to com- t)inations in restraint of trade and com- merce, and enjoined them from contin- uing therein ; that some are themselves combinations in restraint of trade and commerce, and enjoined them from en- gaging in that commerce; and that some hold stock in others, and enjoined the exercising of control over the com- panies which issued the stock and the latter from permitting such control, etc. "The final decree directed that in case the defendants should at once ap- peal to this court the injunction should be suspended pending the same. Both sides have appealed and the record has been duly filed and printed. "The cause is one of those the ex- pediting of which is provided for by the act of February 11, 1903, and, more- over, is of great and general import- ance. It involves difficult questions re- lating to industrial combinations as affected by the act of 1890, and its early determination is very desirable. "In behalf of the Government we re- spectfully ask that the cause be ad- vanced and assigned forbearing as soon as the convenience of the Court will permit." Cigarmakers Quit Work Owing to Proposed Change in Scale. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 4. A proposition submitted by J. A. Lancaster & Co., cigar manufacturers at 172 Fourth street, to the local Cigar- makers' Union, at a special meeting, and which was voted down, has resulted in Mr. Lancaster refusing to continue to pay an increased scale which has been in effect over a year, and about 100 members of the union, employed by him, walked out. The controverpy is over a wage increase of $1 on the thou- sand for 10 cent cigars, and 50 cents on the thousand for mold, or 5 cent cigars. Because of the cost of manufacture and the financial stringency last year, Mr. Lancaster says that it is impossible for him to continue to pay this increase over the original scale. While none of the other local manu- facturers were specifically affected by this increase in effect at the Lancaster factory, some of them, when seen, said that their sympathies are with Mr. Lan- caster in the matter. The members of the union, on the other hand, while ex- pressing regret as a result of the con- ditions which made it necessary to quit work, say that the scale fixed by them was fair, and that the class of work done by them entitles them to the con- tinuance of the increase. During the discussion of this proposi- tion, at the special meeting, Frank Coblenz, a member of the union, and a son of Dan Coblenz, of Dan Coblenz & Bro., 319 First street, and foreman Eirich, of the Coblenz factory, took a stand in favor of the Lancaster propo- sition, which resulted in a heated con- troversy, and ended in both Coblenz and Eirich being ejected from the hall. Eirich, while a member of the union, being a foreman, has no right to talk on a proposition which is under discus- sion except by permission. NEW CIGAR FIRM IN LANSING. To Conduct a Wholesale and Re- tail Business. Lansing, Mich., Feb. 4. P. D. Rogers and F. E. Haynes, of this city, have formed a partnership to conduct a wholesale and retail cigar and tobacco business here. For some time Mr. Rogers has con- ducted a cigar store in the building formerly occupied by T. H Sedina, at 231 Washington avenue south, and has built up an excellent trade. It is the intention of the new firm to make the wholesale end of the business the feat- ure of the concern, and Mr. Rogers, who has had years of experience on the road, and is well known and universally liked among the business men through- out the State, will attend to the whole- sale end. The capital stock of the firm will be greatly increased and it is the desire of the new firm to make Lansing the center of the wholesale cigar and to- bacco trade of the State. A Branch Establishment Will be Opened at Dallas. Dallas, Tex., Feb. 4. F. S. Niles, of Kansas City, Presi- dent of the Niles-Moser Tobacco Com- pany, which is preparing to have a branch house at Dallas, is in the city and is at the Oriental Hotel. He has visited Dallas and the Southwest fre- quently. He says that all parts of the countty are looking toward Texas as a field for expansion and that all who think of Texas think of Dallas. Business conditions in the Southwest, he says, are better than in any other part of the country, though they have everywhere taken on a much livelier trend than in the early part of last year and close of 1907. TOBACCO CO. AT LEXINGTON Will be Incorporated Under Name of New Blue Grass Tobacco Co. Lexington, Ky., Feb. 5. The articles of incorporation for the organization of the New Blue Grass Tobacco Company, which will be the name of the new concern which has bought out the Blue Grass Tobacco Company, of this city, were drawn up for the signatures of the new officers Monday. It is thought that the ent:ire transfer of property in this deal which has been contemplated for some time, but which was finally brought to a decision last Saturday afternoon, will be made this week. One of the members of the new com- pany will arrive in Lexington from In- dianapolis Tuesday, when it is thought that the names of the buyers of the old concern will be secured and made pub- lic. W. J. Loughridge, when inter- viewed, declined to give out the names of the people who bought out his com- pany, saying that it had been agreed that the names would be withheld until the filing of the articles of incorpora- tion. An inventory of the stock and equip- ment of the old company was started Monday and at the completion of this work the purchase price for the concern will be paid over by the purchasers. This will be done this week. The com- pany that bought the concern is com- posed of men from Chicago, Detroit and Indianapolis, and the capitalization figure given out is $300,000. The new concern will employ about 300 men. Change at Asheville, N. C. Asheville, N. C, Feb. 4. Announcement is made that W. W. Barnard has purchased from R. R.

Patton, who is well known to the trade. Isidore N. Lederer, Milwaukee, has Liabilities of $32,000. Offi- cer of Trust Co. as Trustee. A meeting of the principal creditors of Isidore M. Lederer, Milwaukee, Wis., was recently held, when it was decided to appoint a trustee to take charge of the business heretofore con- ducted by Mr. Lederer, it being the opinion of the creditors that more could be secured by them than would be realized if brankruptcy proceedings were forced upon Mr. Lederer. The liabilities totaled more than $32,000, and creditors were informed that if their claims were pressed and the usual settlement through brankruptcy court were depended upon probably not more than 20 cents on the dollar would be paid. A majority of the creditors agreed to the proposed methods which were ad- vanced by Bloodgood, Kemper & Blood- good, attorneys representing a portion of the creditors at Milwaukee. The re- sult was that David C. Green, Vice President of the Milwaukee Trust Co., was appointed trustee with authority to sell the stock out, collect accounts and run the business in whatever way promised to safeguard the best interests of the creditors. The meeting was attended by repre- sentatives of creditors in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, New York and Tampa. %%»%%%%<» • 1.1 ; Annual Meeting of the Globe To- bacco Company. Detroit, Mich., Feb. 4.

Force at One Big Place Reduced. York, Pa., Feb. 8. There is still no great change in the general conditions of the tobacco trade of this section. A good many of the <:igar factories are working along at a moderate rate, and all seem to be hav- ing some business. It came as a rather severe blow when it was announced that two hundred ci- garmakers, employed at the factory of the York City Cigar Company, on North Penn street, had been laid off for an indefinite period. A lull in the cigar trade is given by the company as the reason for the decreased working force. Both men and women were included in the number. Although they were told to report for work next Monday morn- ing, unless trade brightens in the meantime, they will not be taken back, .it is said. The lay-off came as a complete sur- prise to all of those affected, and will cause inconvenience to nearly 150 families in the city which relied on the discharged men and women for support. Neither of the proprietors could be seen today, but those in charge at the factory stated that all of the employes thrown out of work had been making «igars to retail at five cents each, and that those employed on better stock were not affected. It was also given out that as soon as business warrants it, the persons laid off will be re- em- ployed at the old wage scale. Those retained at the plant have not been cut in wages and will not be^ according to the company. It is claimed that the American To- bacco Company has cornered the leaf tobacco market in York. During the past several days hundreds of tons of the leaf grown in York county have been shipped by the corporation to its packing houses at Lancaster and other points. More than eight hundred wagon loads were handled on Tuesday and Wednesday at Red Lion, the deliv- ery to the American Company totaling 410,000 pounds. While the buyers, be- caiise offthe uncertainty in the outlook of the market, were late in coming into the York fields, it is stated that the bulk of the 1908 crop has been sold by the growers. The prevailing prices were eight and nine cents per pound for wrappers and two cents per pound for fillers. Recently S. A. Roseman, purchasing agent for the American Company at Red Lion, received 541,000 pounds of tobacco from farmers and forwarded it to Richmond, Va. Since then Mr. Roseman has purchased over 750,000 pounds or twenty-five carloads, and had fixed February 2 and 3 for its reception here and February 4 at Stewartstown. H. F. Kohler, a popular cigar manu- facturer at Nashville, and who is a baseball enthusiast, has contributed $50 toward a tri-state base ball team in York. There has been some little activity around the cigar town of Red Lion, during the past week. Worley J. Neff, cigar manufacturer, transferred his employes from D. A. Horn's factory to the factory on West Broadway formerly occupied by D. Frank Kaltreider. J. D. Shindler, Eastern representa- tive of McKiffen & Burkenmeyer, of Janesville, Wis , has left for a three weeks trip to New York and Canada in the interest of the tobacco trade. D. A. Horn has returned from a busi- ness trip to Connecticut. John Fidler, with J. W. Minnich & Son, of Dallastown, returned Saturday from a two weeks trip among their distributors in Pennsylvania, and re- ports that while there is not a brisk trade yet he secured an encouraging number of complimentary orders. Gen- eral business prospects he reports as better than for some time past. %eew^w»»» —"Granny" Shepherd, an inmate of the Cuckfield (Sussex, Eng, ) Workhouse, is believed to hold the record as an in- veterate female smoker.

Only One Official Holiday, but Various Displays Attract Attention and Hinder Trade. Buyers are Numerous, and it is Becoming Difficult to Find Satisfactory Goods. Prices are Higher, Although Concessions May be Made in Order to Effect Sales. Special Correspondence of The Tobacco World.) Havana, Cuba, February 25, 1909. the clouds? When good judges differ it is useless to speculate beforehand, and time is bound to solve the riddle. While we have had only one close holiday during the past week, when the inauguration of the second President ■of the republic of Cuba took place, there were so many other shows going •on, like a review of the Cuban troops, infantry, cavalry, artillery, etc., that I>usines8 was interrupted to some ex- tent and the amount of sales was re- •duced fully 50 per cent, as compared ^ith the previous week. There is no lack of buyers in town, hut it is hard for them to make suitable selections from the stocks still on hand, particularly if their views are too ex- alted and they are looking for prime ji:oods, which are no longer visible in our market. There are enough vegas to be had yet and the weekly receipts of tobacco from the country indicate that the supplies in the interior have not been exhausted. Although our leaf dealers are asking higher prices, they are loath to let a buyer depart, and rather than lose a sale they are disposed to make some concessions. The outlook for the new crop is still uncertain, but as we are in the dry sea- son now, no further rains are likely to occur, excepting some light showers from the north near the coast. The districts in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo which have had no rains to speak of will give only a decreased quantity, and perhaps the quality may also be unsuitable for the clear Havana cigar industry. On the other band, the larger planters have developed their irrigation system over a wider area and they will have a leafy, light bodied crop. The only question to be decided later on will be whether the plants have been able to preserve the subtle aroma of the nicotine plant in the Vuelta Abajo through the artificial watering of the fields, or whether this aroma is only supplied through nature's rains from LUIS MUNIZ MANUEL NUNIZ VENANCIO DIAZ.

Sol is doing well, progressing in a very satisfactory manner to its owners, Behrens & Co , and who certainly de- serve success, as they are painstaking in keeping their Sol and Luis Marx brands always uniform in quality, us ang only the leafjfrom the choicest vegas of the 1908 Vuelta Abajo crop. Baylns, Selline and Other Notes of Interest. M. Leheup, the buyer from the Prench Regie, operated in leaf tobacco last week to the usual extent. Roiriguez Bautista & Co. sold last veek 1,000 bales of Remedios and Vuelta Abajo. Sol Hamburger can still be seen mak- ing the rounds in our market and in- •creasing the holdings of Hamburger Bros. & Co. Perez y Obeso disposed of 200 bales •of Vuelta Abajo. Manuel Suarez issued a circular a few days ago announcing the retire- ment of Joseph Mendelsohn from the former- firm of M. Suarez & Co., and -atating that he will continue the com- mission leaf tobacco business under his own name. He also gave power of at- torney to Don Carlos F. Moeller, a hard worker, who has been an employe of the firm of Mendlesohn, Bornemann & Co., and later on of M. Suarez & Co., ever since its existence. £1 Grille is as active as ever, with a large clien- tele of customers. A. Paz3s & Co. closed out 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. M. Starlight, with his son and nephew, is still here and has made some fair purchases of fine leaf. Muniz Hnos. & Co. sold 100 bales of Vuelta Abajo to a local manufacturer. A. M. Calzada has just returned from a trip to the country to convince himself of the prospects of the coming crop, and also looking at what is still left in farmers' hands of the 1908 crop. He did some business last week with several customers. Charles Landau, the able and ener- getic representative of the famous H. Upmann factory, left on Saturday per steamer Saratoga for New York, and doubtless will commence his usual hustl- ing career after his arrival. Gonzalez y Miguel disposed of 100 bales of Remedios last week. RECEIPTS PBOM THE COUNTRY. CA»L« AOONKSS 'CALOA* *f*t-^i.'.' ■ ■ Va' i^E6^9i&^921i!S» Week ending Jan. 30.

Neither Dealers or Manufactur- ers Report Activity. Packers , , Busy with the 1908 LeaL Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 8. : It has been a generally quiet week in the tobacco trade. Neither the leaf man nor cigar manufacturer was doing ibuch, if anything. Packing houses, of course, are busy receiving and packing Dew goods, of which considerable quan- tities have been already received. ^ The several warehouses for E. L. Kissly & Co., of Florin, are now in ac- tive operation. Packing is in progress at two buildings at Florin and also at the new warehouse in Lancaster as veil as at the warehouse of the Nissly ■ Leaf Tobacco Co., in Lancaster. Roy Nissly, a son of E. L. Nissly, and who is now actively associated with his father, is at present on a Western trip. • The report of the Collector of Inter- nal Revenue, which was made public last week, was full of surprises. While Ct wa3 generally expected that the month of January would show no ma- terial progress it was not expected that there would be shown the great reduc- tion that it does. According to the col- lector's figures the output of cigars during the month of January was only 50.437.000, which is 1,350.000 less than during January, 1908, and 2,250,000 be- low the output of December, 1909. The figures are equally discouraging to manufacturers and leaf tobacco dealers, who can hardly look for a large volume of business as long as these conditions continue. It is not generally expected that Feb- ruary will show a great improvement, but it is the general belief that by March a substantial gain in trade will begin to appear. Root & Baker, of Landisville, have already received the bulk of their pur- chases, the major portion of which was made early in the season, and conse- quently the prices which they paid were more moderate than later market transactions commanded. A fire, which might have proved very disastrous, occurred on Thursday even- in?, shortly after 4.30 o'clock, at the cigar factory of Herman Stein, which is located at South Water and Andrew ' T Michael Hose A.

An alarm was sent in from box No. 56, at South Prince and West Andrew streets, and engines from No. 1, 2 and 3 houses were on the scene in a short time. The work of fighting the flames was rendered very difficult by reason of the fire being confined to the third story, and it was nearly six o'clock be- fore it was extinguished. The loss will be covered by insurance. The damage to the building was very small, being confined to one corner of the garret and the roof. ' -■ • The structure is a two-story one, with basement and garret, and adjoin- ing it is the warehouse, with a slate roof. It is here t^e fire started on the third floor. The fire was discovered by some men along the railroad, and they notified M. E. Metzger, foreman of the printing department. There were about 55,000 cigars in the building, but these were little damaged, what damage there was being' from water. Mr. Stein was away at the time of the fire. He says he had about 300 cases of tobacco in the warehouse at the time, which were badly soaked with water. About sixteen hands are employed at the place and work will be continued. M. C. Killian, a cigar manufacturer at Reamstown, recently entertained his entire force of cigarmakers, together with their families, at a dinner given at Mr. Killian's home. P. W. Jacobs, cigar manufacturer at Akron, has been on a business trip through Eastern Pennsylvania. Attention has been called to the fact that A. D. Killheffer, of Millersville. is among the exceptionally few manu- facturers who are and have been able to keep a steady force at work year in and year out. It is seldom that a slack time is experienced at the Killheffer factory, notwithstanding that no travel- ing salesmen are employed in selling the goods. The factory is operated almost wholly on mail orders. Mr. Killheffer says it is because his goods are alw^^ys O. K. that he can manage to do this. After having been closed for a week owing to thj death of A. P. Snader, a member of the firm, the cigar factory of A. P. Snader & Co., on South State street, Ephrata, was again opened tor business on Monday last, with a full force of hinds. During the week a number of nice orders have been re- ceived which will be filled as early as possible. Tne factory will be under the management of Mr. Snader's son-in- law, Daniel Keller, Jr., who has been in charge of the same since the former was stricken with paralysis on April 11th last, which disabled him and finally resulted in his death.

Boston Retailers Dull and Job- bers Report Slow Collections. Notes About the Road men. [Boston Bjreau "The Tobacco World" 212 Hanover Street] Boston, Mass., Feb. 8. The general condition of the cigar trade here is dull. The jobbing trade report collections as being very slow ; in fact times are worse now than they were during the last panic. What the cause of it i9, no one seems able to ex- plain, although most of our merchants expect to see a change for the better next month after the new President takes the oath of office. The new Washington street subway has done a great deal of harm to the storekeepers and merchants in the neighborhood of Scollay Square and Tremont streets where the rentals are very high, and business has fell off con- siderable in that section of town, and unless there is some change made the property owners will be compelled to reduce rents in many instances or shop keepers will have to move elsewhere. Phil. Barrant, representing the Men- tor Co., is doing some very satisfactory work on the Ramly cigarette. Mr. Barrant has had many years experi- ence in the cigar line, having been at one time manager of the Wall Street, N. Y., branch of the United Cigar Stores. Louis Shapiro, who has for the past year been making frequent trips to Connecticut and Rhode Island in the interests of the Nestor Gianaclis Co., has been given full control of this terri- tory. Mr. Shapiro has put the Nestor cigarettes on a good substantial footing in this section. E. Courtney Perkins, the artistic window display artist of the Nestor brand, has a number of excel- lent window displays about town. M. Rappaport, Philadelphia, was a recent caller on the jobbing trade and took a number of large sized orders for Turkish Transfers and other brands of his own manufacture. Miss Bessie Goldberg, who recently purchased the cigar store at 19 Devon- shire street, has made many improve- ments in the place and reports doing a very satisfactory business. Emil Abrahams (American West I Indies Trading Co.) is doing some tell- ing work on the La Turina. This cigar is well placed with our better class of ' retailers. S. Friedlander, the South End cigar manufacturer,and A. Bieringerof Bier- inger Bros. Co., wholesalers, will leave for New York to attend the convention being held there next Sunday of the I. O. of F. S. of I., having been appointed delegates. Geo. Kraus (F. Villar & Co.) was a recent visitor here showing an exclusive line of high grade Porto Rican cigars. H. H. Smith, formerly salesman for H. Y. Folette & Co., has accepted a similar position with the Alhambra Ci- •;ar Co. of New York, and is calling on the local trade introducing the high gradd nickel brand, Concrivo. A. Leroy Myers (Melachrino & Co.,) who has been in charge of this territory for the past eight months, has worked up an enviable business for his concern since he took hold. Mr. Meyers has engaged the services of Rube Haggerty to make window displays in the promi- nent sections of the city, and Rube has been making good right from the start. Mr. Meyers is at present introducing two new sizes of the Melachrino brand, one being a straw tip two for a quarter brand, and the other. No. 20, a 20- cent package, a sort uf an after- dinner smoke. Jobbers have all taken on these new sizes and expect them to sell well. Rosenthal Bros., the Hanover street wholesalers, who have met with much success with their R. B. Special cigar have just taken on the Grand Order, a 5 cent proposition in three sizes, the product of the Federal Cigar Co. There is plenty of advertising matter con- nected with this brand, and in a short time great things are expected of this new cigar. M. Friedberg, representing Cohen & Friedberg, leaf tobacco dealers of New York and Philadelphia, was recently in town. While here Mr. Friedberg suc- ceeded in selling a quantity of Italian stogies in the Italian section of this city. There is a cut price war going on here with two or three independent match manufacturers, and the poor re- tailer for once is getting the best of it. Matches are selling as low as 25 cents per gross, and if this keeps up any length of time I expect to eee the trust (Diamond Match Co.) take a hand in the matter. R. D. Carnes (Ware-Kramer Tob. Co.) has just returned from a good trip down Maine. Jack Warsowe (Khedivial Co.) has been working Brockton the past weeks with good results. For the first time in several years H. Traiser & Co., the large local cigar manufacturers, have a salesman uut taking orders for their Harvard 10 cent cigar. Leveson Bros., makers of the popular Boston Smokers 5 cent cigar, have just made many alterations at their factory on Cambridge street, whereby they are now able to put on additional help and comply better with the State laws. The factory is now one of the brightest and cleanest in this city. James Casey, the original "Casey at the Bat," has just purchased from W. H. Pinkham the latter's cigar and to- bacco store on Summer street. East Boston. Mr. Casey has had years of experience behind the cigar counter and on the road selling goods, and will no doubt make good in this latest venture ; in fact Casey says there is no such word as fail, and I guess he is right. There is no more active salesman in town than Kid Nichols. He never lets any grass grow under his feet. He has a crew of tnree men who never stop when the whistle blows until they havi first finished the routes asisigned them. There are numerous window displays about town and Mr. Bittle, who has charge of this branch of the work, is no novice in this line of business. His specialty is putting displays in hotels where the Philip Morris is usually the leading seller in 25 cent goods. A new . package, called Morisco, and retailing at 15 cents, is to be shortly introduced here by the Philip Morris Co.

Baehr, of Cienfuegos, made investigations concerning the cost of production of tobacco in Cuba. This was difficult to procure, and his deductions, he states, come as near as possible to showing the average cost. The report follows : Taking 1 acre of land as the basis of calculation, in the Province of Santa Clara the cost of labor in producing to- bacco follows : For the preparation of sufficient ground to produce enough young plants for 1 acre of land $13 For their cultivation, weeding, and watering 10 For preparing the soil of 1 acre of land for the reception of the young plants 14 For the planting of the young plants 5 This figure is based on the fact that 1 man can plant 2,400 plants per day, that 1 acre takes 12.000 plants, thus neces- sitating employment of 5 men in order to plant this quantity in one day. at the rate of $1 per day. After the planting, the weeding and cultivation of 1 acre up to the cutting time comes to 50 For cutting the tobacco crop of 1 acre 30 Explained as follows: An acre of land is supposed to yield under ordinary conditions 300 cujes, or poles from which the tobacco leaf is hung, and to fill each pole costs 10 cents labor. Now the tobacco is ready for the drying house, and after be- ing cured awaits the final work of selecting, heading, bundl- ing and bailing. These 300 cujes should yield under ordinary conditions 6 bales of 150 pounds each ; the^ are headed, selected, bundled, and bailed at the rate of $10 per bale, or 60 Total cost of labor $182 ' Thus it is shown that 1 acre of land can produce 900 pounds of tobacco at the cost of $182 for labor or 20.22 cents Spanish silver, per pound. It will also be interesting to know the total cost of production, for which purpose the fol- lowing items should be added : Labor $18200 The cujes, or poles, 300, at $4 per hundred $ 12.00 The cost of the drying house. . . 50.00 Total $ 62.00 As this house and the poles are calculated to last four crops, only one-fourth of the figures can be taken intoc onsideration.or $ 15.50 The cose of a yoke of oxen and the nee >8sary implements for cultivation, at the rate of use- fulness fur four years: 1 yoke of good oxen $100.00 Implements for cul- tivation 20.00 Total $120.00 One- fourth 30.00 Cost of seed for raising young plants 3.00 Total cost of production . . $230.50 rA.HUSSEvl LEAfTOMCCOO).

The present market price for good light tobacco is $70 Spanish gold, and if it is of heavy material, or what is called "tobaco de partido," $50 per bale, so that for the sake of calculation the medium price of $60 per bale should be taken Time occupied in the production of tobacco from seed to bale, six months. These figures represent the total cost of production of tobacco on 1 acre of land — 900 pounds of tobacco at a cost of $230.50 Spanish silver, or 25.61 cents per pound. Tobacco Cultivation in South Africa. Consul Edwin N. Gunsaulus, of Jo- hannesburg, sends the following note on tobacco culture in British South Africa : A commission appointed by the Trans- vaal Government recently paid a visit to Rhodesia to study the methods which are being followed in that country, in the development of the tobacco indus- try, the intention of the Transvaal Government being to embark upon an active campaign with a view to becom- ing one of the leading producers of the world's tobacco supply. The commis- sion went lo Salisbury, where they in- spected the warehouse and local tobacco farms, continuing their researches in Bulawayo. It is stated that the Trans- vaal will confine its activities to pro- ducing the Virginia leaf. The director of agriculture in the Transvaal left for the United States recently with the ob- ject of securing a number of tobacco experts for service in the Transvaal. Leaf Tobacco Markets but the latter will probably close be- fore long as they have but little left to sort. At the old town of Hatfield those who bought their tobacco sorting will be continued for some time yet. The hail storm shortened the time of run- ning, for it would hardly pay the grower to expend 3 cents a pound, and for that reason most such tobacco has been sold in the bundle. Our correspondent writes: North Hatfield, Mass., "I report the sale by Thomas Fleming of about eight acres of tobacco fit a low price probably not more than 8i and 9 cents io the bundle. There will be something of a falling off in the acreage the coming season — probably not more than 5 per cent, and possibly not so much."— American Cultivator. NEW YORK STATE. Baldwinsville.— Local buyers are still in the market and the crop is rapidly being picked up. One well informed tobacco man estimates that about ninety per cent, of the crop has already been purchased. Large deliveries have been made this week. E. C. Munroe, who has been buying for the American To- bacco Co., has been receiving at the D., L. & W. R. R. station.-Gazette. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. Except that the American Company's agents are buying and shipping all the cheap tobacco lying loose, there would be very little to be said on the tobacco market at this time. This company has during the past week bought and loaded about 20 tons of very cheap goodj, some of it being the scrubs and fillers from the shop of our Mr. Swift. I have heard of no sales aside from this for the past week. . This tobacco was brought from three or four towns, and I have not been able to secure the names of the growers. It was shipped to Vir- ginia to be handled. I have seen by the lists of exports of tobacco for the last month or two that the exports have been increased quite a little, and I suspect that much of that being ex- ported is of a cheap variety, such as broken and trash for the manufacture of a cheap grade of plug and smoking tobacco. Some of the shops have shut their doors for this season's sorting. Among those who have closed are C. E. Waite, L. S. Graves and Michael Manning. Mr. Crafts is still open, also Mr. Swift, EDGERTON, WIS. The big storm which blockaded the highways and railways and crippled the telegraph and telephone service, has served to slacken the buying movement somewhat during the week as well as the aggregate transactions. However, the disposition to continue the move- ment is present and buyers in the field for all grades of the crop, though there is hardly competition enough to strengthen prices. The following sales indicate the range taken : H. A. Herried. 12a at 9 and 4c. Mons Staff. 9 a at 9 and 2c. Nels Ringstad. 10a at Sic Bert Bosbon, 12a at Sic Geo. Swan, 12a at 8i and 3c. T.

Farmers are now able to make their deliveries on sleighs and tobacco ia again coming in at receiving points quite liberally so that warehouse handl- ing is going on uninterruptedly. Quite a large portion of the cheaper crops is being shipped out of the State in bundle. Except the ordinary small trade on manufacturers' orders, we learn of no transactions worthy of mention.

By Burley Tobacco Society for the 1909 Crop. Williamstown, Ky., Feb. 10. The Burley Tobacco Society is at work now on a new plan for the pooling of crops this year. The T)lan has not been worked out in detail, but is in brief as follows, according to J. D. Clark, of Lexington, one of the active members in the organization : Agents will be sent out by the Society to buy the crops of the growers out- right for one dollar "and other valu- able considerations," the other valu- able considerations to be the selling price of each man's crop by the Society. This contract will vest the title to the crop in the Burley Tobacco Society and will do away with the attempts to break pledges and consequent injunc- tions to prevent a grower selling a crop that has been pledged. A committee appointed by the Exec- utive Board of the Society is at work on such a plan and just as soon as it is perfected agents will be sent out among the farmers. How soon this plan will be worked out is not known, but it will be done as quickly as possible. Mr. Sheffield Retires from Lucy Maker of the Idelas Brand Sees 4 Sheffield.

St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 10. Representative Croos, of Clinton County, is the author of an anti cigar- ette bill, introduced in the House, which, if passed, will bar the sale of cigarettes or cigarette papers in Mis- souri. Mr. Croos is one of the ablest Democrats in the Legislature and is a recognized House floor leader. The bill prohibits not only the sale but the giving away of cigarettes or cigarette papers; also prohibits the manufacture of cigarettes within the State, or the assisting in the making or manufacturing of cigarettes for the purpose of selling or giving away. In the Big Flats District. Tobacco men predict that the season «f 1909 will show a decidedly decreased acreage in the Big Flats district. Some of the largest local buyers did not con- tract for a pound last year and not a few growers have their 1907 crop as well as their 1908 growth still housed awaiting a buyer. One reason given by growers for refusing to sell early was the low price offered in comparison with the 1906 price. Later there was no market at all and the tobacco had to stay in the sheds. The buyers com- plained of poor quality generally owing to the drouth, and of an uncertain wholesale market. This year some of the growers will give their tobacco land a rest. This is exactly.what is needed, the buyers say. With a season which does not draw the strength of the ground the next planting ought to pro- duce with favorable weather a quality of leaf exceptionally fine. Experiment Being Conducted at Block Bros. Tobacco Plant. Wheeling, W. Va., Feb. 10. Several new pieces of machinery which, if adopted, will have much to do with the operation of the works, are being tested at Bloch Bros.' toLacco plant on the South Side. The most im- portant piece among the lot is a pack- ing machine which weighs, packs. to him by an Eastern business house for whom he is to furnish 10.000 Idelas per week. He is now considering the proposition and if he accepts it he will make the improvements and will put on the additional force of men. Mr. Adams' success has been one of the most remarkable of any business concern in the city. After 15 years of business, beginning as he did all alone with but one boy to do the stripping for him. he has seen the business grow to its present enviable proportions. JANUARY GOOD IN OHIO. Chicago Merchant's Name May be Suggested to Mr. Taft. Chicago, Feb. 10. As George M. Reynolds is out of the field for the position of Secretary of the Treasury of the United States the name of Franklin MacVeagh, of this city, will probably be presented to President-elect Taft. Mr. MacVeagh is a brother of Wayne MacVeagh, of Pennsylvania. He is a prominent mer- chant of this city, but has taken an active interest in politics for many years. Mr. MacVeagh is head of the whole- sale house of Franklin MacVeagh & Co.. extensive handlers of cigars. INSURANCE CO.'S NOT LIABLE The First Revenue District Made a Favorable Showing. Cincinaati, O., Feb. 10. Notwithstanding the general depres- sion in business the cigar and tobacco manufacturing trade of the First Ohio stamps and seals packages of .tobacco. Revenue District (Cincinnati and Mid- It is understood that this is the only dletown), made a very favorable show- machine of the kind ever built, but up ing for the month of January, as evl- to the present time it has not proved a denced by the figures in all lines given success. The firm has been experi- below. "The production of cigars in the dis- trict during January was 15.676.710. an increase of 230,280, or 1.5 per cent, as compared with the production during the month of January. 1908. Compared with December, 1908, the cigar produc- tion fell off $435,607, or about 3 per cent. "The output of tobacco in the district during the m3nth was 3,100,443 pounds, an increase over the corresponding month of last year of 625,601 pounds, or 25 per cent. Compared with the Establishment Opened by Well preceding month of December, 1908, the tobacco output shows a decrease of 581,676 pounds, or 16 per cent, in meoting with it for some time and it is said there is but little doubt that it will prove to be a success after correct ad- justment and perhaps a few changes. One of the machines is supposed to do the work of forty girls in the way of packing tobacco. Officials of the plant are reticent about making any public announcements concerning the new ma- chinery. NEW CRIPPLE CREEK STORE For Loss by Night Riders, Says Kentucky Court of Appeals. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 11. ^ The Kentucky Court of Appeals today handed down an opinion which means a loss of thousands of dollars to tobacco growers and others whose crops and barns and other property were destroyed during raids of night riders in the last two years. In reversing the Caldwell Circuit Court, in the cases of five insurance companies against the Imperial Tobacco Company, the court upheld the validity of the "riot clause" of policies written in Kentucky and held that the raids of the night riders come within the mean- ing of the term "riot." The Imperial Tobacco Company sued to recover insurance carried on tobacco and barns destroyed by night riders at Princeton, Caldwell Co., Nov. 30, 1906. %%^t^»x» FRISCO PUTS BAN ON TOBACCO Known Resident Cripple Creek, Col., Feb. 8.

The New Order Affects Operating Offices, and Became Effective February 1, 1909. Joplin, Mo., Feb. 10. In compliance with an order from the main offices of the Frisco, which went into effect on the first of the month, station employes of that railroad com- pany in Joplin are restrained from smoking when on duty, and when the desire for a refreshing smoke is felt by the employe he must necessarily hie himself to a spot distant from the head- quarters in order to have that desire brought into realization. The order from the headquarters of the Frisco, restraining employes from smoking while on duty, is general over the entire system, and, it is said, re- sults from consideration on the part of the head officers to protect the women's waiting rooms. In the ticket or opera- tors' department the odor of the pipe or cigar is overcome by the new order. A rule has been in effect over the Frisco lines for some time prohibiting all uniformed employes from smoking while on duty. E. A. Calves & Co.

Earnest Hopes for the End of Tariff Tinkering. (Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World" 212 Hanover Street] Boston, Mass., Feb. 15. There was a slight improvement in the trade during the past week, collec- tions have picked up a little, and mem- bers of the trade expect business to improve by leaps and bounds just as soon as Congress gets through with the tariff question, and our large manufac- turers and importers know where they stand. Business with our large local cigar factories is reported very slow, and most all of these manufacturers have their salesmen out canvassing trade. For the past two weeks the American Tobacco Co.'s salesmen have been simply advertising and sampling. Edw. Madden, who since the new year began has had charge of the cut plug depart- ment of the A. T. Co., has already demonstrated that he is "the right man in the right place." Mr. Madden is making a good showing with Fore'N'- Aft sliced plug tobacco, and jobbers re- port same as selling extremely well, in fact the increase in sale of this tobacco in the New England States is^phenome- nal, and Brother Madden is to be highly complimented upon his achievement. There are numerous independent cigarette concerns which are spending a whole lot of money in advertising their brands here, but there is one brand called Astron, a 15 cent package put up in cork, plain, straw, and gold tip form, that is not being advertised but is selling big here. The cigarette is made of the finest imported Turkish tobacco, and that is said to be the se- cret of its success. Phil Melhado. who for several years has been associated in business with his brother, George, on Washington street, has just taken a lease of the spacious store corner of Hampden and Dudley streets and will shortly start in the wholesale and retail cigar and to- bacco business on his own account. R. M. Barden (Surbrug Co), spent several days calling on the trade in Brockton and did a very satisfactory business there. The Surbrug Co. is still offering the Dolma deal in connec- tion with every purchase of Arabs cigarettes. A. Herbert, of the Philip Morris Co., is expected in town this week. Mr. Battle, who has charge of the advertising, has arranged a number of fine displays of the Philip Morris brand about town and every possible good location was secured in which to make a display. Jobbers report a steady in- crease in sales of this brand. Brother McKenzie, formerly in charge of the cigar department of McGreenery & Manning here, has secured a position as traveling salesman for the E. Siden berg Co., N. Y., a subsidiary branch of the A. T. Co., and has left on his initial trip West, his first stop being Indian- apolis. R. D. Carnes (Ware-Kramer Tobacco Co.) who for several weeks has been calling on the trade down Maine, re- turned here Saturday. On being inter- viewed he reports that although busi- ness in general is rather quiet in Maine at present he had a record breaking trip, and on his next visit to that sec- tion he expects to find Lynnhaven and Zona cigarettes very near the front. Rosenthal Bros., the Hanover street wholesalers, are distributing a very catchy hanger in connection with their R. B. Special. The picture features that of a smiling coon head looking through a curtain. Underneath is printed the following: "Golly, Boss! Hand me one of 'em R. B. Special cigars; they're better'n chicken." This show card is very catchy, and there is a big demand for it. Bushwar is being passed along the line at a rapid gait by many of our local cigarette salesmen who, four out of six days in the week, work the well known milk route with good results. Ben Ali. —According to Dr. C. Stanford Reed, of London, Eng., Eugene Sandow. the famous strong man, does not follow any prescribed diet. He smokes a great deal, and drinks beer and other alco- holic beverages. He is a standing proof of the beneficial efifect of moderation in all things. ^: STEPHEN F.

PRODUCTION KEEPS UP In Comparison with Same Period of Last Year. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 13. Internal Revenue Commissioner Eaton, when asked how the collections of his district, which comprises Rhode Island and Connecticut, were coming in so far this year, said the returns were quite satisfactory. "I do not mean that the receipts are as haevy as two years ago," he con- tinued. "But the returns are greater than for the same period last year. In tobacco, however, there is a falling off in revenue. I suppose many people who have been smoking good cigars are content now to smoke a pipe. Anyway, tobacco is feeling the effects of the times. But in beer, there is an in- crease in revenue. The receipts from beer are very large in this disrtict. "From the figures at hand, it looks as if business is on the increase. But it will be another year, perhaps, before business is as good as before the panic. While I can see quite an increase al- ready, it is not like two years ago, as indicated by recent receipts." "Why does not the business start up, as usual, Mr. Collector?" "I would say the tariff is the cause of all the trouble. There is agitation regarding revision, and for my part, I don't know but the tariff is all right as it is. Certainly the country has got along pretty well under the present ELMIRA TOBACCONIST DEAD Son of Former Mayor and Officer of Nicks Tobacco Co. Elmira. N. Y., Feb. 10. John E. Nicks, treasurer of the Nicks Tobacco Company, of which his father, the late John 1. Nicks, former mayor of Elmira, was the organizer, died Monday afternoon at his home on Weat Clinton street after an illness of several months. Mr. Nicks was subject to attacks of appendicitis but owing to his age did not desire to risk an opera- tion. Two weeks ago while at the fac- tory he fell over a box, cutting a gash over his eye. Great pain ensued. Com- plications set in terminating fatally. The late Hon. John I. Nicks came to Elmira in 1847. He opened a tobacco business on a large scale and when the son, John E., was of proper age he was taken into the factory to learn the business. He mastered it in every de- fail. For twenty seven years the Nicks Tobacco Company was located at East Water street and Exchange place. The rear of the building adjoined Nicks street, that thoroughfare being named in honor of the elder Nicks. At the termination of twenty-seven years the Nicks block was burned and John I. Nicks erected thereafter a factory on Railroad avenue. It was here that the son was taken into the business. Louisville Tobacco Market. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 12. The movement in the local leaf to- bacco market today was fairly good. Offerings were not as large as yester- day, although nearly all warehouses had Fales. The Burley was of the aver- age quality and in good condition. Low grades of Burley and colory trashes were the best sellers. Prices in gen- eral were unchanged. The dark tobacco was in fairly good condition and of common quality. Rehandled leaf was in good demand. Prices continued ir- regular, with an easier tendency. At the People's Warehouse 38 hogs- heads of new Burley brought from $il to $20, and 16 hogsheads of new dark brought from $4 90 to $10.75. The market was unchanged and there was only one rejection. The United Dark Warehouse disposed of 100 hogsheads of new dark at prices ranging from $4.50 to $10.75. The mar- ket was unchanged and there were 15 rejections. At the Planters' Warehouse 25 hogs- heads of new Burley brought from $8.90 to $18 75, and 8 hogsheads of old Bur- ley brought from $14.25 to $19. The market was easier and there were 8 rejections. The Central Warehouse sold 55 hogs- heads of new Burley at $10 to $19.50. The market was unchanged and there were 10 rejections. The Ninth-street Warehouse disposed of 50 hogsheads. Twenty hogsheads of dark brought from $7 to $10.75 and thirty hogsheads of Burley brought from $14 to $19.75. The State Warehoui=e sold 9 hogs- heads of new dark at $3 to $10.25. and 50 hogsheads of new Burley at $8.80 to $20. The market was a shade stronger and there were 7 rejections.

H. C. Reinhold, of East f'etersburg, reiterated remarks that he made at former meetings that the association "must be up and doing or President Taft will do us." He thanked the offi- tiers for their energy in getting the petitions out but said the work would probably amount to nothing. He con- cluded by saying work should have been t)egun a year ago, and then the chances t)f success would have been better. A letter from Dr. A. L. Butt, of Kentucky, suggesting the formation of li general society to be composed of members from all tobacco growing dis- tricts was also read by President Herr. ■A similar letter was also received by -another member of the association. . Mr. Reinhold informed the members 'of the good that the growers of Ken- tucky had derived from co-operation iwith each other through the organi- zation. M. L. Greider, of Mount Joy, thought that the growers in the North cannot be Soverned by conditions in Kentucky, where there is a shortage of 65,000,000 lbs. If there should be no shortage there as here, conditions might be different. Ezra Reist, of Manheim, believed that the members should harmonize their views and concentrate upon some definite aim. G. M. Creswell declared that an ener- getic campaign should be started to secure new members and to have some one present explain to the visitors at the meeting the purposes of the organi- zation. A call was made for the read- ing of the constitution and bylaws which would explain the objects of the association, and Secretary Hibshman read them. A question arose over the advisability of revising the constitution and making it up to date. A need of the association as pointed out was the appointment of a committee of three on programme for the next meeting. Amos Cooper, of Landisville, moved that a committee of three be elected to revise the constitution in order to put the society upon a footing whereby it can be a benefit to the growers in se- curing for them better prices for their tobacco. Mr. Reist spoke upon the advisability of forming a new organization for the purpose of raising prices among the growers, but was declared out of order and then the following five were nomi- nated to serve on the Revision Com- mittee : Amos Cooper, of Landisville ; H. C. Reinhold, of East Petersburg ; John F. Weaver, of Strasburg ; William S. Lied, of East Earl, and G. M. Cres- well, of Quarryville. Instead of three the five were elected. Samples of tobacco were shown by members and after a discussion of their relative merits the association ad- journed. A great lot of tobacco has been un- loaded lately at Akron ; Johns & Geh- man have been heavy receivers. Wolf & Hackman and C. F. Steiner are also putting up considerable packings. A. N. Wolf also expects to have about his usual quantity by the close of the sea- son. Michael Shue pleaded guilty of the thef c of seven bales of tobacco from John K. Young of Rapho township. Shue had taken the goods to Mount Joy, and was about to stow them away when he was caught. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $25 and undergo an im- prisonment of six months. Wallace Witwer, a blacksmith at Kissel Hill, this county, has invented an ingenious tobacco press, which it is claimed is far superior to any other in use, and has built and sold quite a num- ber with orders on hand for more. The inventor intends pushing his invention for all it is worth. At Terre Hill the cigar trade is quite dull at present. BADGER STATE ITEMS. T. J. DUINN «& CO.

[From Bulletin No. 343. U. S. Department of Agriculture.] DS INTRODUCTION. Tobacco belongs to the order of plants commonly known as the nightshade family. Its generic name, "Nicotiana," was given to it in honor of Jean Nicot, French ambassador to Portugal in 1660. When, two years before this, specimens of tobacco had been brought from Mex- ico to Spain, Nicot secured some of the seeds and sent them to Paris. There are fifty or more species of the genus Nicotiana, though few of them enter into the commerce of the world. The species grown in the Ohio Valley, the one of chief importance, is Nicotiana tabacum. The aborigines of America grew tobacco long before the advent of the white man. The French explorers Maiquette and La Salle found it in cultivation and use by the Indians along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and their tributaries as early as 1669 and 1673. In 1750, nearly one hundred years later, Capt. Christopher Gist, an agent for the "Ohio Company," came down the Ohio River and found tobacco being grown by a tribe of Indians at ShawneeEtown, the present site of Portsmouth, Ohio. During this same time tobacco was being grown by the Shawnees at the present site of Indian Fields, Ky., in Clark County. In 1775 white pioneers migrating westward from Virginia and North Carolina made a permanent settlement at Boonsboro, Ky. Being familiar with the handling of tobacco and its value, they immediately began growing it along with other crops. Soon after the founding of Boonsboro the price of to- bacco increased rapidly, which encour- aged the tobacco farmers of Virginia and North Carolina to migrate into this new and fertile territory. As early as 1792. when Kentucky was admitted into the Union, settlements were being es- tablished throughout the States border- ing on the Ohio River. Following the custom in Virginia, tobacco became a medium of exchange. After home con- sumption had been supplied the surplus was shipped down the Missisisppi to New Orleans for exportation. The French settlers of the Illinois country had there been following this method of disposing of their surplus for nearly a quarter of a century. As the popula- tion increased, the demands of the home market likewise increased, and in a short while establishments were located at Lexington, Ky., and other points for the purpose of manufacturing plug and twist tobaccos for home consumption. A steadily increasing demand on the home market developed, while the ex- port business dwindled to nothing and was not revived until after the close of the civil war. In 1866 a very important discovery pertaining to tobacco was made by Mr. George Webb, a farmer living in Brown county, Ohio. He noticed in his fields of tobacco some plants which were light green in color, with cream-colored midribs and stalks. The seed which had produced this type was furnished to Mr. Webb by the United States Commissioner of Patents.in whose ofllice at that time the distribution of seeds under Government auspices was con- ducted, and these plants were probably mutations, or sports, due to the effect of change in soil or climatic conditions. They were so different in appearance from those which produced red tobacco that Mr. Webb carefully preserved them and saved the seed. It was noticed that tobacco from this selection of seed gave a brighter cured product than the original red tobacco from which it was obtained. The new type of tobacco gained favor rapidly on account of its mild quality and bright silky appear- ance, and its cultivation soon spread over what is known as the White Bur- ley district. This type now supplies the market with chewing, cigarette, pipe.and cigar tobaccos, but the greater part of it is manufactured into chewing tobacco. The dark-tobacco district, including western Kentucky, part of western Tennessee, a small area of Missouri, southern Illinois, and southwestern In- diana, produces a dark, heavy type, which is principally exported to Euro- pean countries. In view of the fact that Kentucky and the bordering States produce 376,647,000 pounds annually— one-sixth of the total production of the world, and more than one half of the production of the entire United States— of a quality of tobacco which is peculiarly confined on account of soil and climatic conditions to this area, we may expect that a great part of the world will continue to look to this western section for supplies for its consumption. Much has been written in recent years in regard to the improvement of the tobacco plant by breeding and seed selection, but little reference has been made to the actual field operations em- ployed in the cultivation of the crop in this western section. It is the object of this bulletin to present the best methods of cultivation now in use, with detailed descriptions of the principal operations employed. THE PLANT BED FOR TOBACCO. The plant bed should be located on some well-drained spot, with southern and eastern exposure if possible. This gives the maximum amount of sunshine and a protection against the cold north- ern and western winds. It is a com- mon practice to select a place in the woods where the soil is loose, friable, and rich in humus, but in sections where wooded tracts are scarce plots covered with brier patches or a heavy growth of shrubbery often found in abandoned fields make desirable loca- tions. A good substitute for virgin soil and one often used in the White Burley district is a field bearing a heavy growth of bluegrass sod, but cultivated • ^^STHE TOBACCO W O R L D '^^^ Telephone Call, 432— B Ofiice and Warehouse: FLORIN, PA.

CINCINNATI, OHIO lands do not give as good results and should not be used if it can be avoided. A few successful farmers use the same bed for several consecutive years. In such cases an application of barnyard manure and tobacco stems or stalks should be made in the fall. During the winter the soluble elements are re- moved by leaching and carried into the soil. When the time for burning has arrived, the manure and stems are raked off and heaps of waste wood and brush are piled on the bed and burned. (Continued next week.) CONN. EXPERIMENTS TO GO ON. 18 Representative Henry Arranges with Secretary Wilson. Washington, D. C, Feb. 10. Representative Henry has taken up the matter of continuing the tobacco experiments in the Connecticut valley, and has consulted with Secretary Wilson as to the future action of the depart- ment. The secretary has agreed with Mr. Henry that he will consult with Dr. Galloway as to what can be done. Secretary Wilson has always been very favorable towards the Connecticut to- bacco growers, and believes that these experiments should be continued, but other sections are demanding the ser- vices of Dr. J. B. Stewart, and he will probably be taken away from Connec- ticut. The idea of the department is, how- ever, that these experiments can now be continued without the assistance of a representative of the department always on the ground, and the sugges- tion is now being made that the depart- ment can assist the growers by having occasional visits of experts to consult and advise (he growers. This may be the best the department can do under the circumstances. The uncertainty as to whether Secre- tary Wilson will continue in the Cabinet after March 4 makes him slower in de- ciding a matter of this kind, and the whole thing may go over until the next administration. To Change Child Labor Law. Harrisburg. Pa., Feb. 10. It is proposed to pass a certain meas- ure at this session of the Legislation which will bring about a change in the Child Labor Law. It is expected that the new measure will hive the supporters of the Salus Bill, recognized as the official instru- ment of the Child Labor Association, agree on one bill, and have it put through. Chief Factory Inspector John C. Delaney drafted the new bill and it was given to Attorney-General Todd for his opinion. It is generally believed that the latter made some changes in Chief Oelaney's bill, but, as it stands now, it is agreeable to the Governor and At- torney General. rA.HUSSEvl LEATMOiOCO.

Continued Reports of Depletion of Stocks in the Country Aid Sales of Some Leaf Hitherto Thought Undesirable, and an Opening May be Made for the 1907 Tobacco Still on Hand. Special Correspondence Owing to the continued arrivals of .' lOew buyers from the United States our . market has kept its activity, and our resident American export houses have also helped the movement ty further purchases, thus keeping the prices at their present level. While the weekly receipts from the country during the past week show that 1,416 bales had arrived from Santa Clara Province, they are, however, not all for sale in •our market, and besides they consisted of inferior styles to some extent, which, owing to the scarcity of Remedies, may find buyers who are not too exact- ing in their demands. Heavy styles of Semi Vuelta and Vuelta Abajo, fit for mixing purposes, Jiave fouqd bujers ■quite readily. Partido wrappers and binders are called for, although buyers are very particular regarding the burn, and for this reason they are not so ■easily satisfied. Some of our local cigar manufac- turers are looking around in the market to pick up the few vegas of the 1908 Yuelta Abajo crop which are still un- sold, and this notwithstanding the fact that the cigar industry is by no means lively, but it seems there is a fear that the 1909 growth may be partly of too iieavy a nature. However, as there is very little left of so-called factory vegas of last year's crop, which is of light body and of good aroma, they will readily disappear now. There is still a good supply left of 1907 Vuelta Abajo and the low grades of RemedioB, third capaduras and man- chados of last year's crop, and owners are willing to part with them at very reasonable figures. SMlea during the past week total 6,031 bales, consisting of 2.931 Vuelta Abajo, 500 Partido, and 2,600, Remedies. For the American market 4,181 bales of The Tobacco World.) Havana, Cuba, February 15, 1909. were purchased, for export to Europe 500, and for local consumption 1,350.

It is stated that this course has been decided upon in consequence of the large and growing magnitude of the firm's wholesale and jobbing business, to which particular field the management desires to devote its entire energy. The wholesale department has been very carefully watched from the begin- i3ing of the bouse, and its progress has been most rapid and satisfactory. They have been enjoying a unique and almost exclusive business which it is declared has possibilities of even much greater development. The latest rumor is that the United €igar Stores Co. has entered into nego- tiations with a view to taking over the stores. • • ■ Death of Frank Lanf|e.

Attention was absorbed by the new t:rops coming in. and in the process of packing those already teceived. The general conditions of the new goods coming in ere 1 ighly satisfactory, and packers having secured a fa'rly gcod supply, even though the prices aver- aged a little high, feel that they uill have Bomethirg of more th^n ordinary merit to offer their trade, and when the time comes they will nut have any diffi- culty in disposing of it with a reason- able margin of profit. Of the new crops there is, indeed, very little that has not been contracted for, and even if the price now took a ccnsiderable slump there is not enough left to cut much of a figure if it were all secured at a considerably reduced price. The excellent weather of the past week has dried up the country roads very greatly, and farmers had a good opportunity of bringing their tobacco to the various delivering points. Judg- ing from the number of teams that were daily to be seen throughout the county hauling tobacco, the growers seemed to be taking full advantage of the favorable conditions. There is not much to be said of the cigar industry that is favorable, for from nearly all sections come reports of a general dullness. Some manufac- turers are still working along, but prin- cipally for the purpose of affording some work for their employes, rather than for any demand for goods at pres- ent. Of course, not all are fortunate enough to Le able to continue piling up stock, and they have had to either curtail the daily output to the lowest possible amount or stop altogether. A. N. Wolf, of Akron, has returned from a business trip among some of his largest customers, and while he secured a fairly good number of orders, he states that they are mostly for future Michael Hose A.

Cooper, of Brownstowh, was last week visiting the trade in Altoona and vicinity. Wm. R. Cooper, leaf tobacco packer of this city, last week held a public sale of his farm stock, which was largely attended by farmers and mem- bers of the tobacco trade. Mr. Cooper is turning his attention this year more to the packing of tobacco, and there* fore decided to operate his farm on a different plan. Oscar Altschul, of the Altschul To- bacco Co., Quincy, Fla., was a visitor in this city recently and placed a con- siderable qiantity of his goods here. Frank F. Bach, of Elias Bach & Sons, was also a visitor in the local leaf mar- ket last week. Chas. Lederman has been visiting the trade in Western Pennsylvania, and communications received from him in- dicated that he had disposed of several good sized lots of leaf in that section. The E. L. Nissly & Co. Lancaster warehouse has been receiving a con- siderable quantity of leaf during the week. J. W. Brenneman left last week on a short visit to Philadelphia and vicinity. J. E. ShertF, of the Sherts Cigar Co., had been confined to his home by a severe cold for several dbys of last week, but is again around as usual. B. F. Newswanger, who had been for a number cf years engaged in the cigar manufacturing businees, is turning his attention rrore largely to the manufac- ture of ice cream, in which line he is said to have made material progress. A sale of quite a quantity of leaf to- bacco will take place in Lancaster on March lOlh, at which time will be offered about 150 cates old resweated Zimmer Spanish tobacco, together with a lot of Connecticut an J 1906 Pennsyl- vania Broadleaf. What Night Riders Cost Ohio. The sum of $45,000 is what it cost the State of Ohio to put down the night rider disturbances in Clermont and Brown counties last year. This was developed through the presentation of the so-called emergency appropriation bill in the House of Representatives. It carried a total of $114,745.67, repre- senting the 1908 deficiencies in the va- rious departments of state. The "Night Rider" item was the largest in the in- ventory, and was paid out to soldiers sent to the infected districts by Gov* Harris to guard the growing crops. -r-. Western Tobacco Journal.

Department of Agriculture.] n laranta I THE PLANT BED FOR TOBACCO. (Continued from ^ast week) In case the barnyard manure and to- bacco stems or stalks have not been previously applied, an application of high grade commercial fertilizer, one containing, say, 10 per cent, of potash, 4 per cent, of nitrogen, and 10 per cent, ot phosphoric acid, all in an available ■ ^rm, will give good results. It should be applied at the ra'teof 100 pounds for every 1,500 square yards. Commercial fertilizers are not extensively used. The farmers as a rule depend entirely upon the natural fertility of the soil to produce the desired growth in the young plants before transplanting. The preparation of the seed bed is of such importance that neither time nor labor should be spared in making all of the conditions first class. Neglect to have plenty of good plants necessitates che curtailment of a crop and may re- sult in its complete failure. The main object in burning the bed, so far as the writer can see, is the de- struction of weed seeds which would otherwise produce weeds to interfere with the growth of the young plants. Most of the weed seeds are lodged in the upper 2 inches of the soil, and their vitality is readily destroyed by burning or heating the bed. Some mineral plant foodF, such as potash salts, are rendered more available by burning, which adds to the store of available potash in soils. On the other hand, organic matter is largely destroyed by the burning, which is detrimental to the extent that it liberates some of the nitrogen, thus reducing the amount available for plant food, and also re- duces the moisture-holding capacity of the soil by destroying a part of the humus. The scarcity of wood has caused the advent of a tobacco bed burner, which is a movable device especially designed for burning plant beds. The furnace is 3 feet wide and 9 feet long and is ar- ranged with a pan on which the soil is placed and roasted for about an hour. The fire is fed under one end, similar to the way an evaporating pan is heated in making molasses. A block of soil 9 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 2 inches deep alongside of the furnace is shov- eled into the hopper. During the heat- ing it should be turned over two or three times with a long-handled shovel. The roasted soil is then shoveled out of the hopper back into the hole from which it was taken.. This same opera- tion is repeated with the soil on the other side of the furnace. .By the time, this second block of soil is roasted the soil covered by the furnace is likewise sufficiently heated. Hence, at each setting, a space of 9 feet by 9 feet is burned. Under ordinary circumstances, 45 to 50 f quare yards of ground can be burned with this furnace in a day. If a stiff wet clay n being^dealt^with, more time will be consumed in burning and the area covered in a day will be corres- pondingly lessened. The principal ad- vantages of the furnace are that the ground can be burned while wat with- out fear of baking except in the area directly beneath the furnace, a' more uniform and thorough burning may be secured, more weed seeds are destroyed, and less wood is required. Th^ furnati^ is made of sheet iron throughout, costs about $35, and is serviceable for sev- eral years. This type of furnace has been in use for four or five years, but has not come into use by a majority of the farmers. The bed may be burned at any time from November to the last of March. A few farmers burn in the fall, a de- sirable practice in many respects. The weed seeds are then on top of the ground and the soil is likely to contain less moisture, so that much less fuel is required. Most beds are burned by the open fire method during February and March, as weather conditions are favor- able at that time. It is preferable to have the soil as dry as possible in oVder to avoid baking in burning and to econ- omize time and fuel. If much water has to be evaporated from the soil ud> necessary delay is experienced. A few farmers sterilize their beds with steam.* In this case a steam box of the desired dimensions is constructed' and placed over the felected spot, a boiler for supplying the seam being used. Sufficient pressure to destroy all weed seeds can be tasily maintained. Beginning with 120 pounds of steam it will be reduced to about 90 pounds in a single operation. While this method of sterilizing has not come into gen- eral use, those who have tried it pro- nounce if a complete success. After the bed is sterilized it is thoroughly worked to a depth of from 2 to 4 inches with hoes, rakes, and disk plows or harrows. (Continued next week). *The method of steam sterilization of tobacco seed beds in the Connecticut Valley, devised by Mr. A. D. Shamel. of the Bureau of Plant Industry, and now in practical and successful use in that region, is as follows: A steam pan is made of sheet iron, 10 feet long» 6 feet wide, and 6 inches deep. Attach- ments are made which provide for the introduction of steam into this pan and for the connection of the steam hose or pipe running from the steam boiler to the pan. This steam hose should be at least 1 inch in diameter and 50 feet long, so as to permit the supply of an abundance of steam and in order that the box may be moved without moving the steam boiler. The soil for the seed bed is fertilized and prepared in the same manner as for the sowing of the seed. The pan is turned over a section of this prepared soil and care taken that the edges of the pan sink into the loose soil, so as to prevent the loss of steam under the edges of the pan. The steam is now turned into the pan, and on being confined under the pan under pressure it rapidly heats the soil to Lthe desired depth.

CINCINNATI, OHIO pressure should be maintaiDed. in the steam boiler and a full supply turned into the pan. In the beginning the temperature of the heated soil should be frequently de- ♦ ermined. It is desirable to heat the soil to 175 degrees F, to a depth of at least 4 inches and to maintain this temperature for about one hour. This treatment destroys the weed seeds and diseases in the soil and improves the condition of the seed bed soil for the growth of tobacco seedlings. About 603 fquare ie°X of sueed bed surface can be treated in one day ac- cording to this plan. The tobacco seed should be sowed the following day and lightly raked in. OUR BOSTON LETTER. (Continued from p. 9) ness is now on a good paying basis, and his wholesafe business is increasing daily. Mr. Roitman has two salesmen out canvassing, also two delivery wagons. Rosenthal Bros.' new Grand Order c'gar is gradually finding its way in civery good cigar store here. All kinds of advertising is being distributed, in- cluding cigar case moisteners, counter stands, and outside wind signs. The quality of the cigar is very good, and the duplicate orders verify this. The t^ale of R. B. Special is just as good as ever, and it looks as if it is only a question of time when the firm of Ros- enthal Bro?. will be important factors in the cigar business here. The grand opening of Phil Melhado's cigar and tobacco store, corner Dudley and Hampden streets, took place Satur- day night. The opening was a grand success from a financial stand point. Mr. Melhado is a young man with energy, and with his experience in the line ought to do well. He is using the popular R. B. Special cigar as his 5 cent leader. At J. O. Cohen's up to date cigar emporium on Bowdoin Square business is coming along nicely since the new year, and Mr. Cohen is confident that the spring trade will show a big im- provement in business. In fact Mr. Cohen has intentions of purchasing an- other cash register to facilitate matters during the rush hours. This cigar store IS kept as clean and as bright as a new silver dollar, and the window displays are always unique and original, and when it comes to painting the win- dow hangers Mr. Cohen has but few equals.

Liggitt from reports received from the various man- ufacturers. Owing to a lull in the ci- par and tolacco markets the output was not as large as during the preced- ing year. Tobacco to the amount of 113.385,640 pounds was ustd in the manufacture of the cigars. The value of the Govern- ment stamps required for the output was $394,019.61. In the production of Ihe cigarettes or Email cigars 1.075 pounds of tobacco were required. The sale of the stamps for this purpose netted Uncle Sam $188.10. In the various tobacco factories in the division stamps for the manufactured product were used to the amount of $16,>-92 31. The scrap tobacco manu- facturers purchased 335,201 pounds of leaf and 219,113 pounds of scrap weed for use in their factories during the past year. In accord with a ruling of the inter- nal revenue department the deputy collectors are required to visit all the factories in their divisions each year and secure inventories of the amount of tobacco and cigars handled and the stock on hand. Penalties are provided for the failure of the reports to be made. Tiade conditions have not materially changed since the compilation of the above figures were completed. In fact, it is said to be more than ordinarily dull, and there is no particular increase of activity looked for yet for several weeks. The retail trade of this city has found a falling off in the volume of business done in many instances, and it is argued that if it is dull in York it is also likely to be dull elsewhere, and that a much greater voltinie of business is simply not to be had. Even though it is admittedly dull. Red Lion seems to be stirring up more activity than any of the other cigar towns in the county just now. W. M. Gemmill & Co. have again added sev- eral cigarmakers to their force. (vhas. A. Rost, leaf tobacco dealer, who was in a York hospital for several weeks as a result of an operation, has returned to his home, much improved. D. A. Horn, of the Red Lion Tobacco Co., has returned from a purchasing expedition to Connecticut. Miller Bros., cigar box manufactur- ers, have purchased a 14 feet wide plot of ground adjoining theii: factory build- iag, and will now erect a drying kiln 125 feet long and 20 feet wide. Work will be commenced, forthwith. G. W. Gable, of Windsor, finds busi- ness slowly recovering and has in- creased his force of cigarmakers some- what during the past week. N.

Feeding Hills, Mass. : "Tobacco is nearly all sold in this vicinity at prices ranging from 8 to 12i^ cents, but very much of it remains to be delivered. Three car loads were shipped from here last week to the American Tobacco Co. in Virginia ; three more car loads will be shipped this week. The farmers talk discouragingly about growing to- bacco, but as far as I know there will be about the usual acreage set out this year to try it once more." North Hatfield, Mass. : "I report the sale by John Slattery of 5 acres of to bacco in bundle to John Decker of South Deerfield, Mass. Mr. Swift re- cently removed from the sweater 170 cases, refilling the emptied room with the same number of cases. Mr. Swift is storing 100 cases of sweat goods at his warehouse for Isaac Meyer of New York. He is in hopes to fill the sweat- ing room once more this spring, as it will be necessary for him to partly fill it from his own sorting. But very few lots remain unsold in this vicinity." — American Cultivator. EDGERTON, WIS. The work of gathering in the balance of last season's tobacco crop goes pretty steadily on. A strong force of buyers is still maintained in the field and the aggregate sales will foot very nearly up to those of recent weeks. It is gen- erally conceded that fully 75 per cent of the crop has beei> lifted, and where growers are willing to accept the going figures the balance seems likely to be taken over within a reasonable time. Some of the better crops are bringing very nearly the figures paid for early selections and yet the bulk of the sales continue around seven cents. The fol- lowing transactions are reported : W. J.

This action of the directors, of course, raised also the average cost price of one pound of tobacco of the whole syndicate and this is one of the causes of the suit which is now pending in Amsterdam against mentioned syndicate, and which I referred to in my letter to the Com- mittee of Ways and Means. In passing I will say that an examina- tion of that statement will show that this company sold that year at 78 cents, while for the four years immediately proceeding they sold at prices ranging from 40 cents to 45 cents per pound, still leaving them handsome profits rang- ing from 20 to 40 per cent. The comparatively low profit of 20 per cent, is shown from the crop 1904 (on the market in 1905). The actual profit was much higher for in that year that syndicate built on the plantations: Timbang Sangkat. One doctor's house (cost in roimd figures) 7,000 One hospital 26,000 One packing house 50,000 One sorting department 15.000 One club house 4.000 One village for Javans labor.. 20,000 ^ One village for Chinese labor 30,000 One office 3,ooo Two assistant houses 7.500 One storage house S.ooo Plantation Tandem. New roof on packing house... 5.000 One manager's house 25 000 Tandem Hilir. New roof packing house 5.000 Office 3.000 Two assistant houses 7.000 and lots of other improvements which I •; do not recall at present, aggregating, ,; with above, about 250,000 guilders ($100,- i 000 United States money). - The value of those buildings and im- provements was so charged off that they appeared in the books at such a low valuation that the profit of that year was reduced to $80,550.75 only, while it was about $180,000, or 45 per cent., and that crop sold at 40 cents. $8500,000 just about represents the capital of all the large syndicates com- bined and that loss in profits mentioned by Mr. Morgan amount to about 100 per cent, on the capital and would leave the Deli Batavia Maatschappy still 47 per cent, profit, assuming that the loss was in same proportion to profits in each syndicate. Xow, on the other hand, let us take the report of Mr. Morgan and the state- ment appearing in the "Nieuwe Financier en Kapitalist" and see what we figure it out. Mr. Morgan states 63J/2 cents what was obtained for 1906 crop, the state- ment shows that from the profits of 1906 the Deli Batavia Maatschappy de- clared 147 per cent, dividend ; therefore, assuming the 63^^ cents represent $12,- 495,000 plus cost of production, $12,495,- 000 represent a profit of $50.30 per bale at 160 pounds to a bale. The profit would be 313/2 cents per pound actual profit in 1906, therefore cost of produc- tion in 1906 is 32 cents, including im- mense amounts spent for land, etc., etc. This reasoning may not be worth much, but it shows how misleading your article is, in attempting to figure out the cost of production of Sumatra tobacco from incomplete report of Mir. Morgan relating entirely to another subject, and lacking the most important data — the profit of 1906. As a matter of fact the dividends rare- ly show the full profits made by the syndicates owing to a custom of charg- ing oflf buildings and other improvements shortly after completion, thus sending a large part of the profits into betterments where they disappear from view. Thanking you for your kind considera- tion, I am Very respectfully yours, J. J. NOLTHENIUS. Supervising Expert and Packinghouse Manager JcflFerson County Sumatra Tobacco Company.

Consequently the Aggregate Sales in the Havana Leaf Tobacco Market are Represented by Compara- tively Small Figures. High Prices for Choice Leaf Combined with Sluggish Business in the Northern Factories Said to be the Reason for the Inactivity. Special Correspondence While buyers have not stopped com- ing here, it seems that they are satis- fied with small purchases, and for this reason the volume of trade has again been less during the past week. There are still enough stocks of leaf tobacco to be had in our market, but the real choice qualities are held^ too high and the inferior styles do not ap- peal to most buyers, even if they can bo had at low figures. ,. -On thffe account business is not as active as it ought to 'be with so many buyers in town. Some of the latter also complain 'that trade in the North is not yet what it was expected to be, and the principal liuying is mostly a hand to mouth bus- iness, therefore, the hferalded' prosper- ity evidently has not made its appear- ance yet. However, with a little more patience, |iie wheels of trade are abound to revolve faster before long. Havana is given over the pleas- tire seekers, and as the carnival opened yesterday there is enough life and bus- tle in the city. Some rain having falleh in I^ay^na, with a hailstorm last Friday, it re- mains to be seen whether the same have extended over the country gen- erally or were only local showers. As 'far As the Vuelta Abajo is concerned, tht main crop has been made and what may be growing still will only yield colas. Semi Vuelta is usually some- what later, and one or . two . showers would help the late planted tobacco. The Partido growth is also virtually cut and hung up in the drying sheds. As far as the capadura styles of reme- dios are concerned, li little rain would be very welcome indeed and would help to raise a good and large crop. Our cartmen struck to-day for higher rates, claiming lo cents per bale of tobacco, instead of 6 cents per bale as of The Tobacco World.) Havana. Cuba. February 22. 1909. heretofore. Whether the merchants will give in to their demands remains to be seen. They have chosen a bad time, however, as the receipts from the coun- try are very small, although the outgoing movement by steamers is still heavy. Sales last week were 3900 bales in all, divided into 1900 of Vuelta Abajo, 600 of Partido, and 1400 of Remedios. , American buyers took the largest quantity, 3300 bales, while for Europe only 200, and for local consumption 400, bales were purchased.

Orders arevcoming by mail and cable, and while the quantities are not large they suffice to keep more cigarmakers employed than during the holiday per- iod. H.

Biedermann was very fortunate in making some excellent purchases of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios tobacco, amounting in all to about 300 bales, and liis customers can rest assured that no finer tobacco left the island of Cuba, and that he bought at the right prices. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez were sellers •of 300 bales of their fine Vuelta Abajo packings. B. Lichtenstein, on his second or third purchasing trip th's season, managed to secure some choice vegas of different kinds of leaf. A. M. Calzafa & Co. turned over 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Remedios and partidos to their Northern customers, as well as to local manufacturers. L Lewis was a purchaser of several vegas for his steadily-growing trade in fine Havana cigars.

LEAF rOBACCO AUCTION Will be Held a( Lancaster, Pa , on March 11th. Lancaster, March 2, 1909. An auction sale of leaf tobacco will be held in this city on March 11, at 11 o'clock A. M., at the tobacco ware- house in the rear of 404 South Prince street, when 120 cases of Zimmer Spanish tobacco, all re-sweated stock, sized and wrapper leaf goods, will be sold to the highest bidder, as well as 10 cases Connecticut, running from medium to dark colors, together with a lot of 1906 Pennsylvania Broad leaf. The goods will be sold on inspec- tors' samples, and which can be ex- amined on March 9, 10, and on the morning of the sale. This sale will probably afford an opportunity for some advantageous purchases, and at any rate, it would seem to be a good idea to ascertain if there may not be among the goods something that you could use to ad» vantage, and could probably get it at a right price, too. STILL QUIET IN LANCASTER. Dullness in Cigar Factories Re* acts on Local Leaf Market. Lancaster, Pa., March 1, 1909. The tobacco trade is still dull in this city, and if it was not for the life that is given by the packing season it would be well-nigh monotonous. But our leaf men are probably the most cheerful set of men that one can find anywhere. They seem inclined to look on the brighter side of things, and to get all out of life that one well can. Even while there is but little tobacco moving out, it has been coming in fasc enough lately, and a larger force of hands have probably never before been employed at any one time in taking care of the tobacco as it comes to the warehouses. Farmers seemed to be rushing it to market for the past week or two in order to be ready for the spring work, which, if the weather conditions will permit, will soon begin. What little tobacco was sold during; the past week was taken by local manufacturers, presumably for early- use, but no large transactions were re- ported. Yet the stock of old goods-, are depleting, and in fact have already been reduced to almost the minimum^, so far as 1905 tobacco is concerned. The cigar industry of the county is still very dull, generally speaking, and not much sign of an immediate im- provement is noticeable either. In fact, the closing down recently of the Lancaster branch factory of the United Cigar Manufacturers' Company almost brought about consternation among- the ranks of cigar makers. It has been even intimated when the factory was likely to resume operations. At Harrisburg there were also large forces of cigar makers of the same company laid off, and the York factory entirely closed down; for the present^ at least. At Akron it is reported there is now better prospects, and several manufac* turers have added to their forces of cigarmakers. The S. R. Moss Cigar Co., of this city, has also been in- creasing its force considerably of late.

THE TRADE AT YORK Much the Same as in Other Cigar Manufacturing Centres. York, Pa., March 1, 1909. The trade in this section seems to be on a part with other sections of the State where cigar manufacturing is car- ried on to any extent. While it is generally very dull among the factor- ies, one occasionally hears of a fac- tory, which while it may be a matter of good fortune, never the less there are a few which have a good run of business at present. Visiting salesmen have not been quite so numerous lately, having evi- dently been seeking other fields, which they hoped to find more prolific. It is to be hoped that they were suc- cessful, but we expect to find them all coming in again in the near future, for it seems that, once they become accustomed to the trade in this sec- tion, they are always glad for an op- portunity to come here again and again, and by doing so, some have built up a large patronage right in this county alone, to say nothing of the immense field in the surrounding towns in this and neighboring coun- ties. After an illness of five weeks, during the greater portion of which time Mr. George W.

Department of Agriculture.] THE PLANT BED FOR TOBACCO. (Continued from last week) It is a common practice to raise the level of the bed a little above the sur- rounding surface by bedding ; also to leave 12-inch valleys around the bed and have them cross the bed at inter- vals of from 6 to .12 feet. This gives good surface drainage. After the soil is^'thoroughly prepared, the seed is sown ; in the Burley district at the rate of 1 teaspoonful to every 200 square iiet; in the dark district at the rate of 1 teaspoonf 'il to every 300 square feet. There is no gcod reason for this differ- ence ; custom has established these measured. In view of the fact that the seeds are so small, a sufficient quantity to bow a bed is mixed with one half gallon of fertilizer, ashes, dirt, or corn meal, so that (he Eower may secure a more even distribution of them. They may be settled into the ground by rolling, trampling, or lightly raking over the bed. Sowing should not be made later than April 1. Beds sown from January to April produce plants for setting by May 15 to June 10, which is usually the best lime. If the weather conditions are such that sowing can not take place until late, the seeds can be partly ger- minated by mixing the quantity to be sown with sand about ten days previous to sowing. The sand should be kept moistened and in a warm place. If the mixture is kept in a very favorable sit- uation, it is not desirable to extend the soaking period more than ten days. The tobacco seed coat is comparatively thick and hard to break, however, and usually three weeks are required before complete germination takes place. CARE OF THE BED. To secure rapid growth of the young plants and to afford protection from frosts it is necessary to use a covering, which is usually made of ordinary cheese cloth. The bed is boxed up by using 1-inch boards placed on edge, ex- tending all around the bed. Wires are stretched across or pegs or wickets are put down a lew feet apart on the bed and arranged to hold the canvas a few inches from the ground. The widths of canvas are sewed together to fit the < bed, and are stretched over the bed and tacked to the surrounding plank. Any open spaces that may occur under the boards are 61led by banking the earth against the boards. By this method the heat of the bed is considerably in- creased, especially at night, as the canvas prevents much of the rapid radi- ation which would otherwise take place. Duiing druulh the bed becomes exces- sively dry, and It is often necessary to water it two or three times a week. The bed should not be soaked with water, but shouid be thoroughly moist- ened. The best time for watering is late in the afternoon, to avoid baking the soil or scalding the plants. ^j The canvas should remain &a the bed until about ten days prior to ti^ansplant- ing, when it should be removed, in order that the plants may become more hardy and accustoni^d to field condi- tions. If the canvas remains on too long it is commonly conceded that ex- cessive leaf growth and too little root growth result. If the plants are grow- ing very rapidly and give indications that they will be ready for transplant- ing before the desired time, the cover- ing can be removed earlier than indi- cated ; this will to some extent check their growth. Insect pests sometimes cause consid- erable injury to the young plants. In the bed they can be controlled by the use of arsenate of lead— 8 pounds in 100 gallons of water, applied with a spray pump. This insecticide does not injure the plants in any way and adheres to the foliage very well, being superior to Paris green in this respect. SELECTION OF SOIL FOR THE CROP. In the Burley district virgin]) soil is preferred for the crop. White oak» beech, walnut, maple, and hickory clearings are famous for the production of tobacco having very fine quality. The yield, however, on these newly cleared soils is not equal to that on old land in a good state of cultivation. Tracts of land that will produce good tobacco are limited even in the princi- pal tobacco growing districts. The average farm usually contains only a small area of land that is particularly adapted to tobacco. The soil should be fertile, friable, arid abounding in or- ganic matter to produce the best re- sults. Very little virgin soil remains available for cultivation ; consequently, tobacco growers are compelled to adopt a substitute. Bluegrass sod produces a fine quality of tobacco and gives a good yield. Clover sod gives a good yield, but the tobacco does not have the bright color that is secured from the bluegrass sod. Timothy sod is also used for tobacco, but it is not as good as those already mentioned. TINE TO BREAK THE GROUND. Virgin soil where heavy clearings have been made and where there is no grass to contend with may be broken in the spring, sufficient time being al- lowed to put it in good tilth before planting. Bluegrass sod and hillside land are usually broken in the spring. The former may be broken in the fall, and in any case should be broken early enough for rotting of the sod to take place before transplanting time. The sod should be turned under so deeply and thoroughly that in case it is not completely rotted it will not be pulled to the surface by subsequent cultiva- tion. Clover and timothy sod should be broken in spring the— early spring. In that way it serves as a winter cover crop for the land and is sufficiently rotted to be out of the -vay by planting time.

Again you say: "And in support of his interpretation he cites a statement pubHshed by the Deli Batavia Maat- st happy on April 7, 1907, from which lie figures out that that company had declared a dividend from that year's p;-otit of 147 per cent." I have told you where that report can be found and by reference to it you will note that it was not by my figuring, but that the report itself stated the dividend to be 1 \7 per cent. You will further learn by such investigation that the 63 cent iirice of the 1906 crop as stated by Mr. -lorgan (or that of 75 cents as stated by the Deli Batavia Maatschappy report) \.as abnormal and that 36 cent price of 907 crop was nearly normal. You say, to my surprise, that the profit or income from the 1906 crop ! as nothing to do with the case ! How ran you determine whether a loss of $8,500,000 in income from 1907 crop over that from the crop of 1906 amounted to an absolute loss (a supposition upon which your fallacy is based) without deducting the $8,500,000 from the 1906 income? And how can you do this ex- cept the 1906 income be known? Pass- ing by other misrepresentations of my comnumication, your uncalled for sug- gestion of trickery in my communication to the Ways and Means Committee and other derogatory comments, as unworthy of notice, 1 will simply say that the suppression of my commun'cation in the interest of your version of it will avail nothing, as the Ways and Means Com- mittee of Congress have been furnished with a copy of that communication, to- gether with Mr. Morgan's report as published in your issue of December 12, and also a copy of the Deli Batavia Maatschappy report, all in the interest of truth and in the hope that growers of wrapper leaf tobacco may receive at their hands the justice which your Jour- nal seems so prone to deny them.

The production of small cigars in the district during February amounted to $90,000, a decrease of $30,000 or 25 per cent, as compared with February, 1908. The output of tobacco during the month was 3,144,637 pounds, an increase over the same month last year of 1,038,- 938 pounds, or 49 per cent. Growers Accuse Buyers of Forc- ing Prices Down. Suffield. Conn., March 4, 1909. Prices of Connecticut valley tobacco are at the lowest point in years. Grow- ers complain that buyers have entered into an agreement to depress prices. It is asserted that buyers in some instances have inquired into the financial necessi- ties of growers and have sought to take advantage of their straits. Prior to election the run of the new crop sold readily at from 15 to 22 cents per pound in the bundle. Fifteen or 16 cents is now the top price, except in rare instances, while the average sales are being made at ii to 14 cents in the bundle. It is said that considerable quantities of tobacco have been sold in Massachusetts for less than 10 cents. With the cost of production the highest in the history of the industry, and the possibility of still lower prices if the tariff on wrapper tobacco is reduced, the outlook for the 1909 acreage is not en- couraging. Total deficit .. .$542,080 Inc. $400,829 *No comparison ava-lable. The report says: "The earn'ngs of the company come from dividends on its holdings (if stocks of the Henry Clay & Bock Co., Ltd.; Havana Cigar & Tobac- co Factories, Ltd. ; Havana Commercial Company; H. de Cabanas Carabajai, and J S. iMurias y Compania. Owing to bad weather conditions and consequently ex- pensive tobacco the cost of manufactur- ing by these companies of cigars and cigarettes was abnormally h'gh, resulting in their failure to pay dividends other than the $19,552 herein above set out." The retiring directors were re-elected. John A. Sleicher, a stockholder, was nominated as a director by the minority stockholders, who protested that the present managament of the company was not giving satisfactory reports of the company's business. He was voted down. A motion also was defeated, made by J- W. Ogden, that he should be recorded on the mimites of the meeting as having requested and not having re- ceived a detailed statement of the ac- counts receivable and bills payable in the treasurer's statement. Baltimore Leaf Tobacco House Has Sample Order from Malta. Baltimore, March 6. Messrs. G. Lieberman & Dellevie, leaf tobacco dealers in this city, have receiv- ed a letter from Senglea, Malta, which may open up a new market for tobacco from Baltimore. The local firm declines to give the name of their correspondent, as this might open up competition with other local leaf tobacco dealers, and perhaps shut them out from what might develop into a profitable personal trade in a new field. The letter sent here is from a large cigar manufacturing con- cern in Malta, and is as follows: ■"Our friend Richard Sanders, of your town, speaks so highly of your liberal manner of doing business that we are induced to send you an order for such goods as we require in your line. "We buy for cash, and shall expect good articles at your lowest prices. "You will oblige us by sending sam- ples of your goods, with the prices mark- ed, that we may be able to order under- standingly." Mr. Dellevie says his firm has forward- ed samples to Malta of the leaf tobac- co it handles suitable for making ci- gars. The samples have been carefully packed and sent through Xew York to the Mediterranean island. The firm hopes to open up business relations with the concern there. In the event of any considerable orders being received the shipments will be made direct from this port. If developed, this will be a new busi- ness for Baltimore. While not much Maryland tobacco will be required, it will give the leaf dealers a new field in com- petition with other leaf tobacco shipping points on this side of the Atlantic. Venezuelan Monopoly Doomed. Washington, ^^arch 2, 1909. The cigarette monopoly in Venezuela, created several years ago by former President Castro, has been abolished by President Gomez, whose internal policy since his inauguration has been to end the many private monopolies established l)y his predecessor. John Brewer, consular agent at Cara- cas, who has been in charge of the arch- ives of the American Legation since the American Minister was withdrawn last May, has reported to the State Depart- ment the abolition of the monopoly and says that it was unofficially reported that prior to the issuance of the decree the government had purchased all the prop- erty and rights of the National Cigar- ette factory, which had controlled this industry. The decree is far reaching in its ef- fects, permitting, as it will, the opening of many small factories throughout the republic and the manufacture of cigar- ettes by private individuals. E. A.

A Certain Contract tlie Cause. Quincy, 111., March 6, 1909. As originators of a clever scheme to popularize a new brand of cigars by calling it the "I. M. U. No. 44," Timo- thy Brothers, cigar manufacturers in this city, and one of the fairest concerns to union-made goods in the city, have been denied the use of the Cigarmakers' Union label, because, through a contract duly signed by officers of the Iron Molders' Union and the firm, the latter is to pay to the Iron Molders' Union a royalty of $1 per thousand on all cigars of that brand that are sold. P. H. Eberhardt, custodian of the Cigarmakers' Union label in this city, has declined to let the Timothys have the label because he does not think the agreement made between the Molders' Union and the Timothys is legally right, according to the Cigarmakers' constitu- tion. He has referred the matter to the head officers of the International Union and now awaits their decision. When the Timothy Brothers were seen regarding the matter they verified the report that they had been denied the label and feel thajt the action taken against them by the label custodian will hardly be approved by the higher officers. They fail to see where they have disobeyed any of the union laws, and can only see an eflFort made by competitors in the cigar manufacturing trade to cause them unnecessary annoyance. They claim that when a matter comes up that apparently justifies the withdrawal of the union label from the factory that the cause of such action shall first be presented to a local trial board of the Cigarmakers' Union and afterward referred to the president of the International Cigarmak- ers' Union for his decision, which deci- sion is final. In this case the matter never was taken before a trial board, but the label was withdrawn without even a temporary hearing. In any event it is a matter that must be disposed of between the two unions concerned. An early understanding of the case is expected. Independent Manufacturers Fight Award to the American Tobacco Co. Independent tobacco manufacturers are preparing to make a vigorous pro- test against the American Tobacco Company being allowed to supply the navy with chewing tobacco. The Navy Department has just awarded the contract to supply the navy with 200,000 pounds of navy plug at thirty-six cents a pound. Independent manufacturers are greatly worked up over the award and are trying to induce their members of Congress to take a hand to help them. Winston-Salem Factories Make Heavy Shipments. Winston, N. C, March 4, 1909. The shipment of manufactured toba-^ CO from this city during the month of February amounted to 3778,167 pounds. The sale of revenue stamps amounted to $226,690.08. There was a decrease of $3,091.80 from February of last year, the receipts in that month being $289,761.82, or a difference of 51,530 pounds. The total amount of manufactured tobacco sold during February, 1908, aggregated 3,- 829,697. Death of Louis B. Haas. Hartford, Conn.. March 2, 1909. Louis B. Haas, one of the best known tobacco dealers and veteran business men in this city, died suddenly at his home Saturday afternoon last. On Fri- day morning he was about his office at- tending to the details of his vast busi- ness ; about 1 1 o'clock he was taken ill with an attack of indigestion, and a phy- sician was stnnmoned. His case was se- vere and he was removed to his home. On Saturday all indications pointed to his recovery, and until five o'clock it was thought he would be able to overcome the attack, but .soon after his heart ac- t-on became slower and he rapidly weakened until the end had come.

American Exporters and a Few Spanish Houses Virtually Control the Desirable Goods. Special Correspondence The market was dull last week, as the reported transactions will show, and the cause was not for lack of buyers in town. Some of the latter have come down for pleasure, others have gone to the country to inspect personally what the prospects of the coming crop are likely to be, and the balance of our visi- tors are examining carefully the remain- der of our stocks, in order to make the best selection of goods which might an- swer their purposes and to purchase them upon the most favorable terms. Several trades are stiil pending a regis- tration, and therefore cannot be reported until the coming week. While there is a good demand for ist and 2d capaduras, as well as for heavy bodied Vuelta Aba- jo of the 1908 crop, the former can only be found in the hands of the American exporters and a few Spanish houses, and at prices which are above the views of the buyers. Inferior styles of Remedios are still to be had to some extent at more moderate figures. What is left of heavy Vueltas or Semi Vueltas is most- ly still raw, the best cured lots having been sold, and for this reason there is some disposition shown to examine what is left over from the 1907 crop. This latter growth has undoubtedly improved in taste and looks, thus proving accept- able as a mixer, either with lighter qual- /ities of the 1908 crop, or for seed and Havana cigar manufacturers in the North. As far as prices are concerned they ought to prove advantageous to the buyer. It is reported that one local fac- tory purchased over 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo of the 1907 growth last week. Partido Resagos are in fair supply yet, and the holders are rather anxious to close them out at moderate figures. Rains have fallen in most tobacco dis- tricts, therefore the "tardio planting," as ■well as the capaduras, stands a fair of The Tobfccco World.) Havana, March i, 1909. chance now of coming to maturity be- fore the Spring rains commence. If nothing unforeseen should occur the 1909 crop may be as large as last year's in quantity, but as far as quality is con- cerned it is too early to say anything that will approximate the actual facts at harvest. However, it is admitted that there will be more Partido wrappers this year. Sales i comprise 2000 bales, of which 11 50 con- sisted of Vuelta Abajo, 300 of Partido and 550 of Remedios. For the United States 1400 bales were purchased, for Europe 225. and for lo- cal consumption 375 bales.

Ernest Werkhoven, who said he was a salesman, of Rochester, N. Y., has been made prisoner at police head- quarters, charged with grand larceny, ^he complainant, John J. Kaplan, liv- ing at the Grand Union Hotel, claims the man swindled him out of $4000. Werkhoven says he was an oflficer in the German army, and that his rela- tives in Germany are wealthy. The police say Werkhoven and Kap- lan formed a company, each putting up .$4000. It was deposited in a New York bank and Werkhoven sailed for Hol- land. In December, two bales of to- bacco arrived here for Kaplan, ' who •says it was worthless. Meanwhile, it is alleged, Werkhoven drew his and Kap- lan's money from the bank. Smoking in the Subway Barred. Notices of the new Board of Health rule against smoking or carrying a lighted pipe, cigar or cigarette into the subway were posted in the stations yes- terday. Last night the first arrest was made. Louis Funcke, of Elberon, N. J., •entered the Seventy-second street sta- tion with a lighted cigar. Special Policeman Flynn acquainted liim with the new rule. Funcke refused to throw away the cigar, and submitted to arrest, saying he would have the matter settled in Court. He was charged with disorderly conduct, and locked up in the West Sixty-eighth street station. He was discharged with a reprimand in the Night Court. TRADE NOTES.

On another page in this issue is the announcement of the sudden death of Mr. Louis B. Haas, of Hartford, Ccnn. A brief sketch of his life is given here : Louis Benjamin Haas was born in Arnheim, Holland, November 3, 1830. He came to New York when 19 years old, and remaining in that city some four years, he learned the trade of cigar making. In 1853 he came to Hartford and entered the employ of Lee & Deane, cigar manufacturers. Later he formed a partnership with John Essman, under the firm name of Essman & Haas. Later Mr. Essman went West and Mr. Haas took into partnership his brother, Philip B. Haas, the firm name then bccom'ng Haas Brothers. Later Mr. Haas went into the wholesale tobacco business with Oswin Welles. Upon the death of Mr. Welles, the son, Cassius Welles, succeed- ed the father, and the firm name was changed to C. Welles & Co. On the death of Mr. Welles, Jr., Mr. Haas ac- quired the ch'cf interest of the business, and from that time it has been conduct- ed under the firm name of L. B. Haas & Co. Two nephews, Benjamin L. and William P. Haas were taken into the business some time ago, and they still retain their connection with it. Joseph Goldberg, a cigar manufacturer at Shreveport. La., is contemplating a removal of his factory to Alexandria, La. YORK'S CIGAR OUTPUT RISES, Revenue Figures of February In- dicate Increased Production. York, Pa., March 8, 1909: , It is reported by Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, in charge of the York Office, that the sale of c'gar stamps dur- ing the month of February exceeded those of January by about $1000. The total receipts for the month were $71,000, representing an output of 23,667,000. The receipts for the month of Febru- ary, 1908, were $64,000, representing af\ output of 21,^34,000, thus showing an increase of 2,333,000, as cqmpared wi.h the corresponding month- of 1908. Dur- irg the month of January the receipts were $70,000, representirg an output of 23,334000. The production of Febru- ary, therefore, exceeds that of January by 333,000. Some fair-sized orders have been re- ceived by cigar manufacturers n various secticrs rcccr.tly. Several factories at Holtz, including those of J. F. Sechrist, J. W. Stein and David Zeigler, have been fortunate in booking good business of late. The C. S. Gable factory at Strines- town, which had been closed down for some time, resumed operations to-day. W. A. Lahr, of Red Lion^ has been increasing his force of cigarmakers by a dozen or more. ) Wolf Bros. & Zeigler, of Red Lion, have also added six additional cigar» makers to their list. Some heavy receipts of leaf tobacca have taken p'ace lately at Red Lion, Stewartstown and Wrightsville. John F. Richard has been shipping heavily from Wrightsville; Roseman Bros, froni Red Li-on, and Michael En- gel from Stewartstown. The firm of Warren Beck & Bro., well-known cigar manufacturers of this city, is evidently going to comet the Possum market, judging from the num- ber of brands they have been adopting in connection with the word Possum. This firm struck the idea of getting out a brand of cigars called "Billy Possum" about the time of President Taft's v'sit to Georgia recently. They were the first to adopt it, but soon found a number of imitators, and immediately took the Corrections. THE EL MONE CIGAR. 17.318 For cigars. Registered February 27, 1909, by S.

IMPROVEMENT ON IN BOSTON. Chronicles of Ben AH Regarding Tobacco Men at The Hub. ^ Boston Bureau "The Tobacco W<»rld." 212 Hanover Street] Boston, March 8. 1909. Business conditions have improved a 'great deal since last week, and trade is xroming along nicely. Many of the mem- bers of the cigar and tobacco trade were among those who attended the in- auguration of President Taft at Wash- ington last week. A. Pick, who has had charge of the pipe department of T. Rosenbaum & Co.. for several years past, has re- signed, and expects to soon engage in business on his own account. The Imported Tobacco Mfg. Co., of New York have a represcn'.ativc in Boston now doing missicnary work on their "Regatta" and "Pri/.e Cup" cigar- ettes. The Marathon Cigarette C<».. of Bos- ton, has just come out with a new pack- age of ladies' cigarettes, which are got- ten up in a very attractive form. Ben Grossman has sold his cigar and tobacc(^ store on Columbia avenue to M. Gullis, who was formerly with Tom Brown, the South Boston wholesaler, as salesman. Mr. Crossman has" pur- chased the cigar and tobacco route of Wolf & Lunden, who have a business within a radius of fifteen miles from Boston. Louis Shapiro, with the Nestor Gian- aclis Co., returned from Connecticut on Friday last and immediately left for Portland, Me., in the interest of the popular Nestor cigarettes. The Janes-Riker Co. have leased a store on Tremont street, near Temple Place, and when alterations are com- pleted will open another branch cut- price drug store. George Finn has resigned as mana- ger of the cigar department of F. Met- calf Co., 39 Tremont street. Joe Rogers and R. D. Carnes, with the Ware-Kramer Tobacco Co., will both start in a few days to work the principal cities and towns in New Eng- land. Since the arrival here this week of the two U. S. battleships. New Jer- >ey rin 1 Missouri, there is quite a de- nu'inl f(T "White Rolls" cigarettes, which seem to be a favorite with the Jjickies. The new N(». 20 size of the Mela- chrino cigarettes is duplicating nicely. A. L. Myers, the Eastern representa- tive, is doing some clever work in con- nection with these goods, and has al- ready installed some very attractive window displays about town. J. C. Mendelsohn, representing the Falk Tobacco Co., called on the trade here this week with a full line of sam- ples of high-grade tobaccos, and is re- ported to have done a satisfactory busi- ness. George Yavner, formerly manager of the Annex Cigar Store, on Milk street, has just purchased the cigar stand in the Penn Mutual Building. Mr. Yavner is well-known in that neighborhood and will doubtless increase the business of the stand considerably. S. London, cigar manufacturer on Hanover street, has closed out his bus- iness. It is stated that he contemplated engaging in the millinery line. Leveson Bros., makers of the popu- lar "Boston Smoker" cigars, report a brisk increase in business for the past month. Their brand is well placed among the retailers. The American Smoker Cigar Co. will shortly place on the market a new two- for-a-c|uarter cigar, which will be called Lord Barrington. The United Cigar Stores Co. will soon open a branch store in Fitchburg and in Lowell, Mass. "Corker," the new brand of plug to- bacco made by the American Tobacco Co., is now being placed in this market. Special Notices.

(Continued from last week) Where the tobacco follows corn the ground is usually broken in the spring, early enough to keep down a growth of vegetation. Where tobacco follows tobacco a cover crop of rye, winter or turf oate, or barley should be sown. This must be turned under sufficiently early for the green crop to rot. Fre- quently tobacco follows tobacco or to- bacco follows corn and the ground is allowed to go over winter without any kind of cover crop, but this is a bad :*ystem and should not be practiced. FERTILIZERS. aranta [ Where fertilizers are to be used, it is beat for farmers to buy the ingredients and do their n.ixing at home. This is less expensive than buying the com- mercial goods, and by doing their own mixing the farmers familiarize them- selves with the amount of plant food in the raw materials. By acquiring this Knowledge they will be better posted as to their intelligent use. If a com- mercial or mixed fertilizer is to be oought it is best to buy a high grade article, one running high in those ele- ments in which the soil is deficient. The Jow-grade and low-tonnage-price fertilizers are the most expensive. Farmers pay on the avergae 2 cents a pound more for plant food— nitrogen, potash, and phosphoric acid— in a low- grade fertilizer than for that in a high- grade fertilizer. In some instances they pay as much as 6 cents a pound more for plant food in a low-grade fertilizer than they have to pay for it in a high- grade article, besides having to pay twice the amount for freight, sacks, and mixing to get the same quantity of plant food. In the Burley district, where the to- bacco is usually set about 18 inches in the drill, the fertilizer is scattered along in the rows, but where the to- bacco is checked the fertilizer is dropped in the check. Fertilizers are sometimes applied broadcast, which is a better practice than the methods usually employed. I In the dark-tobacco district the usual practice is to set the tobacco in check rows and apply the fertilizer in the checks. If a drought occurs during July or August, hill-fertilized tobacco will fire worse than that broadcasted, for the reason just mentioned. The fertilizer usually gets the blame for this while the fault lies in the method of application rather than in the fertil- izer. PREPARATION OF THE SOIL. hard, stops excessive evaporation of moisture, and less rain will be required to afford a season suitable for trans- planting. Laying off the ground is the final operation before transplanting. In the Burley district the plants are set in rows 3i to 4 feet apart and usually from 18 to 24 inches in the row. A greater distance between the plants, especially on rich soils, produces a coarseness of fiber that is undesirable. Plants set on poor soils should be farther apart than those on rich soils in order to secure the desired growth. In the dark belt the common practice is to plant 3i to 4 feet each way and culti- vate in both directions. The old method of transplanting by hard is still exclusively used in some localities. A 2- horse tobacco setter is used to some extent, especially where there are large fields. With this machine about 3 acres a day can be set, three men and a team being required for its operation. Its greatest advantage is that the crop can be set regardless of season. Grow- ers claim that a larger percentage of plants will live when set by a planter than when set by hand. At first, use is made of a shovel cul- tivator or turn plow, run rather close and deep, the object being to stir the soil near the roots so as to admit air and warmth. Subsequent cultivation consists of shallow plowing for the purpose of preventing the growth of weeds and conserving soil moisture. The use of any tool that will carry out this purpose will give good results. The hoe is not used in tobacco cultivation so much as formerly unless the hills become infested with grass and weeds. It is used very little in the Burley dis- trict. Hilling, following the last plow- ing, is still considerably practiced in the dark-tobacco district. There is a common impression that it produces a heavier tobacco. Cultivation is not continued to any extent after the plants have grown so large that they would be injured from broken leaves and dis- turbed root systems. After breaking, the soil should be thoroughly harrowed and rolled in order to reduce all clods and leave the surface fmooth and mellow. If a crust should form before trans- planting, a light harrow or weeder I should be used to break it. This pre- j vents the soil from] becoming dry and TOPPING. When fourteen to eighteen leaves ap- pear on a plant of the Burl y type or ten to fourteen on one of dark tobacco, the top is broken out so that the leaves will spread and attain the proper body and thickness. Topping requires con- siderable discrimination on the part of the grower. He must be able to judge the capabilities of the individual plant and also the soil in which it grows. A slowgrowing plant should not be topped as high as a rapid grower. The former will not mature as many leaves as the latter. For the same reason, plants grown on poor soil should not be topped as high as those grown on rich soil. High topping tends toward late matur- ity.

The American Ci^ar Mold Co. 193I--I935 Western Ave.. ..a 1201--1209 Dayton Street, CINCINNATI, OHIO raent Station in 1906 gave best results when the plants were topped at four- teen to sixteen leaves. The plo«s used had been in bluegrass sod for a number of years and were very fertile. In a second experiment plants were topped at twenty leaves, but did not produce any more pounds per acre and the to- bacco was much lighter in body. Top- ping at twelve leaves reduced the yield very materially, especially of the bright and red leaf grades. The custom in the da'k district is to prime off about four leaves next to the ground and then top from eight to ten leaves on poor soil and from ten to twelve on fertile toil. After topping the plant, suckers are produced at the aixis of the leaves. The first crop of suckers appear soon Hfter the plint is topped, the large ones in the top of the plant. A short time rtfter their removal a second crop ap- pears. HARVESTING, Ripeness of the plant is indicated by the appearance of yellow spots on the I'^af and by the brittlenessof the veins. Usually about thirty days after topping the plants are ready for harvesting. The Btalks are split with a knife begin- ning at the top and fplittirg to within 6 inches of the ground, and are cut from the hill just below the ground Uaves. Five or six plants, the number de- pending on their eize, are placed astride a stick. Within four hours if the weather is favorable the plants will wilt enough to be taken to the barn. To prevent sunburn, it is often neces- sary to "scaffold" immediately after cutting. Tobacco can remain on the scaffold for two or three days, or longer if necessary. Rain will not damage it much if it has not commenced to cure. Tobacco that has yellowed well on the scaffold before taking to the barn is less likely to house-burn than if it is housed on the date of cutting, before it thoroughly wilts. In handling the crop all possible precautions are taken to prevent injury by bruising. (Concluded next week) Cigar Making School in Belguim The following information concern- ing the school for teaching the manu- facture of cigars in Liege is furnished by Consul H. Abert Johnson, of that city: Trade schools have developed in a re- markable degree in Belgium in recent years, and among the latest innovations in this line may be mentioned a school for cigarmaking, which was inaugur- ated here on July 20, 1908. This school is at present in successful operation, school from becoming a factor in the cigarmaking industry it was decided that each pupil should make the fillers he used as well as the finished cigar. This method was also more satisfac- tory, in that it offered better oppor- tunities of gauging the work of each rAHUSSEvl lEAFMCfOCO. ^ ^M. ■EAa. Bear Bros. Manufacturers of FINE CIGARS R. F. D.

Our correspondents write : Hatfield. Mass. : "I report the follow- ing crops of tobacco sold: Alfred Brea, 7 acres at 12 cents, bundle; Peter Saffer, 5 acres at 14 cents, bundle; J. H. Ryan, 5 acres ; John Foster, 3 acres; Thomas Fitzgerald, 4 acres, in bundle, to R. J. Whalen for Ohio parties. A. H. Graves, has so'd a part of his 1907 crop to Taylor, of Westfield, Mass.* said to be at advanced prices. Samuel F. and L. A. Billings sold 20 acres at 19 cents, probably assorted and packed, to Whalen." North Hatfield, Mass. : "Lyman A. Crafts sold 148 cases and Seth B. Crafts (heirs) 90 cases to Isaac Meyer Co., the whole lot to be sweated by Mr. Swift. Warren P. Crafts, 39 cases to be shipped to Pennsylvania, all of the crop of 1908."— American Cultivator. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. Signs begin to multiply in this part of the Valley that there is to be to- bacco grown here this year. Quite a number of carloai lots of fertilizer have been left at our station. The prospect is that nearly an average acreage will be set this ceason, un- mindful of last year's prices. The crop of 1908 has nearly all been removed from the farmers' hands either by sales or has been put into the shops to be assorted, sweat and sold by them. Some local packers have sold their sea- son's packing. I think in Whately there are but two or three packings left. In Hatfield there are more of the packers holding thtir packings. One Sunder- land, Mass., packing has been brought to another place to be sweat by Mr. Swift. Also one Whately packing, that of Lyman A. Crafts, bought by Isaac Meyer & Co. The American Tobacco Co. has been taking over more tobacco; during the past week they loaded two cars at South Deerfield and one at North Hatfield, some of it pretty low in price. A day or so ago I bought some tobacco at our. local store, paying 20 cents for It. "Twenty cents for that little mess," exclaimed the American's agent, who was present, ("ome up to the car and get a whole bundle for that money ! So I conclude that they did not pay a high price for it. Well, the stuff has gone,hail cut fillers and broken stuff, and probably most of it will be manufactured at home after it has passed into the hands of the company. NEW YORK STATE. Baldwinsville.— Wallace Lee received at the D., L & W. R. R. station Wednes- day for his firm, Goff & Mather, of El- mira, taking in several car loads which were shipped to Elmira. E. C. Monroe expects to receive here next Tuesday for the American Tobacco Co. The warehouses of J. W. Upson, F. M. Dun- ham and M. Tobin are open and a force of assorters at each of them are busy handling the new crop.— Gazette. EDGERTON, WIS. The buying movement is slacking away very materially. Possibly the spring break-up of the country roads is one reason for the cessation of riding, but the American Tobacco Co. and other large operators have pulled their buyers out of the field entirely so that mostly local men are operating at pres- ent. Whether the orders of local pack- ers are sufl^cient to clean up the bal- ance of the crop or not remains to be seen.

Cressman's • • 5 ment company and Pendas & Alvarez, the latter firm known throughout the •country for its fine cigars, will locate a magnificent factory in West Tampa. This factory is one of the largest and oldest in Tampa and their deciding to locate in West Tampa is a fitting tribute to the desirab'lity of this city for manu- facturing purposes. The negotiat'ons were conducted bv Col. Hugh C. Mac- farlane for the investment company, and Enrique Pendas for Pendas & Alvarez. The new factory will be a handsome one, commodious and of the latest de- sign. It will occupy a solid block of ground on Francis avenue, adjoining Palmetto street. The building will not be less than forty-five feet in width and some two hundred feet in length. It will be three stories high, and in addi- tion, will have a basement. The work of constructing the building will com- mence at once. Pendas & Alvarez occupy a notable position among the manufacturers of cigars in this secton. Their business is a tremendous one, and when they de- cided to build a factory large enough to handle their increasing business they scanned the sites offered with care. West Tampa impressed them very fa- vorably, and as a result, they cast their lot in the bustling city of cigar factories and homes. Enrique Pendas, the head of the con- cern, who conducted the negotiat'ons for the location with Colonel Macfarlane, is president of the Clear Havana Cigar Manufacturers' Association of Tampa, and of the Spanish Casino. Bj.h him- self and his associates have long been identified in a prominent way with the life and growth of this section, both commercially and social'y. In their going to West Tampa that municipality is deservedly compl.mented on securing a factory of more than pass- ing importance. The present factory site is on Spring street, near Fortune. New Cigar Incorporation at Council bluifs. The Pcregoy & iMoore Cigar Com- pany, of Council Bluffs, Mo., have filed articles of incorporation with the Secre- tary of State, with a capital of $30,000, whch is held as follows: R. C. Pcre- goy, I share; J. W. Peregoy, 108 shares; William Moore, 109 shares ; A. E. Brock, I share; and all of Council Bluffs; F. E. Shepard, i share; Ben. Shearer, 79 shares, and Geo. W. Groves, all of St. Joseph. Establishments will be maintained at both Council Bluffs and St. Joseph, is heretofore. Local Business Men in a $20,000 Cigar Project. Chattanooga, Tenn., March ii. John S. Whigman, J. H. Ballard, Bur- nett Rhodes, S. B. Strang and J. S. Fletcher filed an application in the office of County Court Clerk W. P. Hays for a charter for tlie Consolidated Cigar company. Mr. Strang stated that the company would begin business w'th a capital of $20,000, and wouM have its principle offices in this c'ty. About one-half the capital is furnished by Tampa, Fla., parties, the remaining half being subscribed by local people. The intcnt'on of the corporation is to man- ufacture and deal in cigars and to im- port and deal in Havana tobacco. The main factory is to be located in Chattan- ooga, with one branch at a point in Florida yet to be decided upon. SUFFIELD TAX ASSESSMENT Levied on Out-of-Town Tobacco Packers Must Stand. Sufficid, Conn., March 10. The decision of the board of relief relat've to the out-of-town packers of tobacco paying taxes on the assessment levied by the assessors will have to stand and may be the means of the warehouses closing, as the tobacco men refuse to pay the high tax on cased to- bacco stored in town. After several weeks of sitting and discussion the board of relief, composed of Arthur Sikes, George Sheldon and Herbert L. Spear, announced its decision this morn- ing. The out-of-town packers who pack tobacco in Suffield warehouses and who objected to the hgh assessment, are L. O.sterweis & Sons, $20000; Keiser & Vo.sberg, $15,000; Kutinski, Adler & Co., $15,000; I. Kaffenberg & Sons, $10,000. The board reduced Kutinski, Adler & Co.'s list from $15,000 to $8750, while the others remain unchanged. The other work done by the board of relief was considerable, out of 25 applications re- ceived the board granting some relief to 16 and also making four addit'ons.

Buffalo Jobbing House Formed. A new jobbing house has been opened at 185 Ellicott street by Samuel Hein- reich. Thos. Link and Wm. Weitz, un- der the firm name of Link & Co. All of the above named were formerly em- ployes of Reid & Co., and who have a wide acquaintance in the trade, and will no doubt succeed in securing a good por- tion of the business heretofore done by the firm with which they had been long connected. The Weekly Output of Cigars is Approaching Normal Figures. Tampa, Fla., March 12. Shipments of cigars from Tampa for the week were in excess of six millions, which is the best business for a consid- erable time. It indicates the restoration of the output to its former volume at an earlier period than had been anticipated. The distribution was spread all over the country, showing that the excellent clear Havana cigar made in this city has lost neither its popularity nor its recogn'tion by experts as the best in the world. The importations and the withdrawals of leaf for immediate consumption are in about the same proportion, discovering that while the manufacturers expect a contin- uance of a fair stage of bus'ness they are not indulging in any extravagant expectat'ons. The situation in Havana and elsewhere is satisfactory and the sum of indications is for a continuance of good business and a probable arrival at the three hundred millon mark by the end of the year. The increase in output for the first two months of the year is ten millions, which points to not less than s'xty millions for the year. The increased output means more work for the men, more wages for dis- tribution in the channels of business and a more comfortable and promotive state of thngs all around. In this connection it might be mentioned that there is a distinct improvement in the real esta::e market, a larger number of homes be'ng erected, fewer vacant houses than at any date for the past year and a more hope- ful tone amorg people generally. These things are reinforced by a greater in- quiry from outside people for invest- ment by purchase or loan and a larger acquisition of new people American Snuff Co. Plans Change at Clarksville. Clarksville, Ky., March 11. Important changes were announced to- day by the American Snuff Company. P. H. Corbett, for the past six years manager of the Clarksville factory, has been transferred to Memphis, to take charge of the company's interests in that city, and will be succeeded by L. A. Bowers, whom Mr. Corbett succeeded when he assumed charge of the local plant. C. E. Skinner, superintendent of the Clarksville factory, will succeed Mr. Bowers as manager of the factory at Yorktown, Del. These changes will be- come effective within the next thirty or sixty days. The Gray, Benzinger & Miller Cigar Co. has been organized at Beatrice, Neb., to purchase, manufacture and sell cigars and tobacco. They have a capital of $25,000. The company was incorporated by Ralph Gray, Frank Benzinger and A. C. Miller. St. Joseph Grand Jury After the Guilty Dealers. St. Joseph, Mo., March 10. The grand jury has found true b'Us against a number of tobacconists, charg- ing them with having violated the law against selling cigarettes and cigarette wrappers to minors, if an unofficial re- port current about the courthouse can be credited. A law against such sales has been on the statute books for a number of years, but m St. Joseph, at least, it is sad, has been practically a dead-letter. In his charge to the grand jury, Judge Ryan of the criminal court mentioned th's matter, saying that re- ports had reached him indicating that the law was being generally violated. A new law went into effect on the 6th inst., and on which are based the e barges now b.-ought. BADGER STATE iffiMS. Jan"sville, Wis , March 13. Varying degrees of activity are being manifested by the different Janesville tobacco firms. Some are buying an amount equal to the product of the best season, while others have not yet started to buy. The F. S. Baines concern is working at top speed, with over a hundred hands in the ma n warehouse and the two branches. New tobacco is coming in amounts varying from 150,000 to 200,(XX) pounds a week. The daily receipts range from 35,000 to 80,000 pounds. There is also great activity in old tobac- co and case goods. The weekly payroll approaches the thousand dollar mark, and the season of activity promises to continue until the latter part of May. M. F. Green and Son are putting new hands at work dai'y, and it is expected that the present force of ninety-three will be increased until the plant is run- ning at itS full capacity. No increase in production is contem- plated by Fisher and Fisher, but the present force of thirty-five will be kept steadily at work. They are doing no buying at present. E. M. Calkins reports that he has re- ceived no shipments as yet, but expects the first lot to-day. He has been ship- ping small lots during the early part of the winter. McGiffin & Birkemeyer are getting heavy shipments, but are doing little sorting and packing. The leaf is imme- d ately shipped to the manufacturers upon its arrival at the warehouse. Many of the dealers are out of town for the purpose of inspecting future de- liveries. Among them are : Sanford Sovcrhill, H. S. McGiffin, J. Ryan and T. E. Welsh. Edflrerton, Wis., March 13. J. M.

York, Pa., March 15. / Lately there have been some lively scenes at various points in this county during the delivery of "tobacco by farm- ers. This was especially true at Red Lion, where, on the nth inst., a buyer who had lots of tobacco coming to town, came near being roughly handled. It is stated that the firm for whom the tobacco was supposed to have been bought failed to put in an appearance. After keeping the farmers waiting for some time, the buyer finally offered to take the tobacco, but at a figure below what was to have been the price. This action brought about a climax, and the farmers, already angered at the protrac- ted delay, took very unkindly to the proposition, but fortunately no fight was precipitated. A local leaf firm at Red Lion bought a cons'derable part of the tobacco which was not taken in by the original buyer. At Wrightsville a similar scene was enacted on the day before, upon which occasion an out-of-that-town buyer was charged by the farmers with attempting to defraud by short weight. It requi'red the presence of the town constable to re- store order. At the Meyers warehouse, this city, considerable leaf has been received this week. It was n cured mostly from the Druck Valley, which is regarded as among the best tobacco producing dis- tricts in the county. John F. Reichard and the firm of Roseman Bros. & Blouse received sev- eral carloads of leaf at Red Lion this week, D. A. Horn, of the Red Lion Tobacco Co., and A. M. Shepp, leaf broker of this city, attended the auction sale of leaf tobacco at Lancaster this week. After attend ng the sale Mr. Horn pro- ceeded to New York. W. H. Snyder, of Windsor, recently put his force of cigarmakers on full time, Horace Shindlcr, of Red Lion, will open a cigar factory at Windsor, occu- pying the bu'lding formerly used by Peter Schmuck. A. Scott Frey, of the firm of Frey & Shindler, Red Lion, has returned from a several weeks trip to Florida. Wolf Bros. & Ze gler, of Red Lion, last week reported an order for 100,000 cigars from one firm. Chas A. Rost, of Red Lion, a leaf dealer who had for some days been under medical treatment in New York, has returned to his home, and is again very active in the trade. Bankruptcy in Louisville. Louisville, Ky., March 12. Sam Pcarlman, a cigar dealer at 120 West Main street, filed a petition in bankruptcy in riic Federal Court last week. He places his liabilities at $i,- 586.88 and his assets, consisting of stock on hand, amounts to $193. He claims exemption on a suit of clothes valued .»t $18 and a watch worth $6. There arc twenty creditors, their claifns ranging from twenty-five cents to $.452.50. ©c- ^ STEPHEN F. KETRAN Interior ¥ Makes a Specialty 01 Wood.. Work..

Vi e THE TOBACCO WORLD E. A. Calves & Co.^^c> Havana, 123 North Third street IMPORTERS of PHILADELPHIA Leaf Trade in Havana is Good, for tlie Season. Buyers are Still Numerous, but the Scarcity of Desired Classes of Goods Limits Transactions. The 1907 Vuelta Abajo is in Good Supply, and Careful Buyers May Find Some Uuseful Stock. Bright Prospects for the 1909 Santa Clara Crop. Special Correspondence As we are now at the tail end of the season, very large transactions are out •of question, but considering that buyers have not stopped coming here last week's transactions were fair enough for this time of the year. They would have been larger still if our market stocks had been larger. There is enough of the 1907 Vuelta Abajo crop left for sale in first hands, and amongst the different vegas a dis- criminating buyer could p ck lots which are well cured by this time and which have lost the rank flavor and taste pecu- liar to this growth. The sellers would be anxious to please the buyers as far as the price is concerned. As a mixer with milder sorts of leaf it will compare favorably, and therefore it seems on'y a •question of time, when there will spring up a demand for these styles. The inferior grades of Remedios, such as third capaduras, 6a and 8a, are show- ing signs of being wanted for export to Europe, although at prices which the holders at the moment appear unwilling to accept. As there is no demand for these classes in the United States, it looks as if the buyers will have their •way before long, unless there should spring up a demand for some other di- rection. As the packers had calculated to obtain the same prices for which they sold these styles previously, it will mean a severe loss to them, particularly as they had sold their ist and 2d capa- duras at cost or with only a trifling profit. If the Santa Clara province should be favored by dry weather there will be a large crop of Remedios this year, as the late abundant rains have developed the later plantings and also proved bencfic'.il to the plants left standing in the fields after the first cutting. More ra'n now would do incalculable harm, however. of The Tobacco World.) Havana, iMarch 8, 1909. There is a demand for Partido wrap- pers by the Trust and also for resagos by Tampa manufacturers.

Don "Gustavo Bock is universally liked, and when he had control of the original English Company, The Henry Clay and Bock & Co., Limited, he was a sharp competitor, but just in all of h's deal- ings, doing everything above board. As it is his intention to do away with the centralization and amalgamation system and let each factory of the Trust s':and on its own feet again, thus regaining their individuality, it will mean a tre- mendous undoing, and it will be a work that requires time and patience. The tost of the reorganization will also be a considerable item, therefore no imme- -diate results can be looked for. To make the Trust cigars as good as the Inde- pendents will help the latter in a gen- eral way, as it will destroy the mistrust which was created by the former using inferior leaf, and thus hurting the repu- tation of Havana cigars all over the world. On the other hand, as the con- sumption of Havana cigars is limited, it may take away some of the business which the independents have obta'ned by making superior cigars to the Trust •ones. . H. Upmann & Co. shipped 50o;ooo ci- .gars last week. Their H. Upmann fac- tory is well supplied with orders and is working with increased forces.

Lancaster, Pa.. March 15. There was only a comparatively small movement of leaf tobacco during the past week, but a much more healthful tone pervaded the market snce the an- nouncement of an increased output of cigars during the month of February. Factories are being placed in readness for operations on a larger scale, and inquiries about goods are coming in more freely. A few crops of 1908 goods are still in Ihe farmers' hands, but they are con- stantly becoming more scattered. Prices have not changed materially in the past few weeks. One of the most cheerful 'pieces of news to the cigarmakers was the an- nouncement last week that John Slater & Co. would resume operations on the i8th inst., and notice has been sent to their former employes to that effect. A member of the firm informed the writer that while they still have some surplus stock on hand, it has, nevertheless, been depleted to such an extent that, with the accumulation of orders received the fac- tory can, they believe, be operated on full time. Mr. Slater, the senior mem- ber of the firm, is expected to come on from his home at Washington, Pa., some time next week. The re-opening of this factory will afford employment to a good many cigarmakers who have been idle for some time. S. M. Ottinger, of Mitchell & Ottin- ger, Florida specialists, is expecting to visit Quincy, Fla., his home town, leav- ing here on the 20th inst. Th's firm, since locating in Lancaster, has been placing with the trade a line of Florida tobaccos which seems to have struck a popular fancy, and upon several occa- sions they have had to replenish their stock. Mr. Altnger's purpose in visit- ing Quincy at this time is to arrange for an extensive and fully adequate sup- ply to meet the wants of those who have adopted the M. & O. line of leaf. Through the energy and efforts of the Lancaster Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, a revision of Insurance rates on leaf tobacco has been secured, and a considerable sum of money has recently been paid to leaf men, in rebates repre- senting the difference between the amount already paid and the new rates. The lona Tobacco Co., at 520-22-24 N. Charlotte street, has a large force en- gaged in assorting and packing leaf. Th s warehouse has been entirely re- modeled and equipped with all the latest improvements, making it one of the most cheerful places of employment in the tobacco trade. S. N. Wolf, of the cigar firm of Wolf & Hackman, Akron, left on Tuesday last on a four weeks business trip through the Middle West. Prof. B. F. IJciges, principal of the Manheim, Pa., schools, appeared before Burgess Shcnk and entered a protest against some parties in the borough who sold cigarettes to boys n the vari- ous grades of the schools.

Yet one transaction recently consummated of several hundred cases of domestic leaf brought the volume of business up to a fairly good amount. Local jobbing houses have this week shared in a more active trade than for several weeks previous. There was but little business this week in the line of Sumatra tobacco, according to reports, as it seems that the trade is now awaiting the ar- rival of the new goods before they will venture any large purchases. In Havana tobaccos there was a fair business, but no particular change in prices has occurred. -7 ESTABLISHED 1881 THE TOBACCO WORLD INCORPORATED 1902 Published Every Wednesday BY THE TOBACCO WORLD PUBLISHING CO.

Depart- m nt of Agriculture.] (Concluded.) CURING. In the bsrn, sticks filled with green plants are hung about 10 inches apart on the rails, which are usually 4 feet apart, the^e rails being about 4 feet apart vertically. Shaking tile plants •vhin they are being hung in the barn will prevent the leaves sticking to- ^'ether, which is a frequent cause of iamage from house burn, the texture md elasticity of the leaf being practi- .'.aily ruined when thus affected. Even f house burn is not produced, uneven coloration is likely to result if the .)lants are not shaken. The prime requisite of a barn for air- ouring is that it shall be thoroughly ventilated. What is termed side venti- lation is pDpular in the Burley district, 1. e., the air is permitted to pass in at windows on one side of the barn directly I through and out of windows on the op- posite side. The old method was de signd to admit air at the side and pro- vide an exit at the top. The movement I of the air is effective in driving a cur- rent through the barn and is more likely to give good results than is de- pendence upon a rise of temperature to carry the draft out at the top. For the protection of tobacco hanging in the cumb of the barn some ventilation at the top can be provided, since tobacco in this portion of the barn is not much affected by the side draft. To accom- plish the ventilation desired, windows should be arranged horizontally the full length of the barn, parallel with each ' tier, so that a current of air may pass between the butts and the tips of the tobacco on each set of rails. The win- dows should be about a foot wide and the length of a bin, usually 12 feet. Ventilators about 2 feet square may be located every 25 feet in the comb of ihe barn. The general principle upon which air- curing proceeds is thdt the tobacco dries during the day and comes "in case, "or takes up moisture, juring the night. The barn should be opened in the morning, kept open all day under normal conditions, and closed at night during damp weather. During dry weather while the tobacco is curing it is desirable to keep the barn open both rA.HUSSEvl LEAfTOMCfOO).

The most trying time is during fogs and warm drizzling rains when there is very little air stirring. Under such circumstances the air on the outside is saturated with moisture and the barn should be kept closed until the air rt-aches the saturation point within, which will be indicated by the sweating it the tobacco. Then it is better lo •'pen the barn and get the benefit of whatever draft there may be outside. Open fires of coke or charcoal are I'laced alout on the floor af the barn vvhenevpr the draft is insufficient or the humidity so great that sweating con- tinues. This creates a draft and in- creases the water-holding capacity of he inclc sed air. Sweating may con- tinue for forty-eight hours without ser- ious injury, but if continued longer than this house-burn may occur and render fires imperative. The first two weeks is ihe critical period of curing; if no damage has been done at the end of that lime the tobacco is compara- tively safe. But even then, unless there is a very humid atmosphere, the barn should not be closed so tight that the air can not circulate through it. Two months arc ordinarily required before a crop is sufficiently cured to be bulked and stripprd out. In the durk-tobaccobelt fire-curing is practiced. The sticks are crowded to atout 6 inches apart on the tiers, the space being governed to some extent by the Eize of the tobacco, and very little regard is paid to ventilation. About five days after the crop has been housed the yellowing process is com- pleted and firing begins. If indications of hou'e-burn should occur earlier it will be necessary to begin firing sooner than indicated The first two or three days slow fires are applied so as to con- tinue the yellowing process. Hotter fires foiljw until the curing process is practically complete. The practice is quite common after about one week's firing to allow the to- bacco to "run," i. e , to come in case, which will be facilitated by the amount of moisture still remaining in the stem and stalk. As soon as the tobacco is in case, slow fires are added again, but continued for only a short time. "Run- ning" is noi practiced as much as for- merly by many of the best growers. A commjn mistake is made by attempt- ing to cure the crop too quickly, and green and off colors are set. Careful planters often fire for about ten days. Wood— hickory and oak are preferable —is used in firing. The odor and flavor imparted to tobacco by the smoke of wood are necessary where an efiPort is ncade to produce a dark export type. Coke and charcoal impart no flavors and for this reason are invaluable in emergency cases when Burley tobaccos are being cured. STRIPPING AND GRADING. Planters take advantage of rainy days during the winter to strip their crop. The moist air brings the crop in case BO that it may be bulked in large piles; then it will not go out of case when fair days return. Care needs to be ex- ercised not to bulk tobacco \^hen it is not in case sufficiently, because it will be. difficult lo handle and breaking will occur. If tobacco is going out of case when bulked, it will continue to go out and become dry. Very high case must be guarded against, as tobacco will be- come very dark in the bulk, especially if much rainy weather follows. Brin's- ing is likely to occur when tobacco in high case is handled. Tobacco bulked down in "winter order" during the winter months will funk during the months of April and May if not taken up and huLg back in the barn to dry out. After June it can be taken down and bulked or prized in "summer order" ; then it will keep for years. Burley tobacco is assorted into five different grades, according to the color and body of the leaf. Beginning at the base of the stalk, the grades come in regular order as follows : Flyings, trash, lugs, bright leaf, and red leaf. The flyings are the light chaffy leaves at the base of the stalk; usually one or two leaves from each plant go in this grade. The trash is a little better grade than the flyings, and is usually of a bright color. The next grade is the lugs, which are of a bright color, and like the trash command the best price on the market. The bright leaf is the finest grade in appearance, but fre- quently does not sell for so much per pound as the trash and the lugs. From these bright grades already mentioned a special grade called "cigarette" is sometimes made. This includes only the best and brightest leaves, practi- cally free from dark colors. Red leaf is the top leaves of the plant and is not so valuable as the bright leaf. The general principle to be observed is to- secure uniformity of qualities within the same grade. Dark tobacco is graded according to the same principle as Burley tobacco, but only three grades are made. This tobacco is usually topped at ten leaves; hence there is less opportunity for pro- ducing as many grades. Bluegrass Company Organized. Articles of incoriK)ration for the reor- ganizat-on of the Bluegrass Company have been tiled and the new company will have a capital stock of $300,000. * John D. Mbore, formerly of Louis- ville, hut who in recent years has lived in Detroit, holds 51 per cent, of the stock. Mr. Moore will be the president and treasurer and W. J. Loughridge vice-president, while the .secretary has not yet been selected. S. W. Todd and Kirkc Lathrop, of Detroit, Mich., are, besides Mr. Moore, the only new stock- holders. The business will be continued in this city, as it has been heretofore, and Mr. Moore will soon movie Jij-^ fam- ily from Louisville to this city, and take personal charge of the planf. * >'-i For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes, go (o Established im Monroe D.

Commission merchants are receiving orders from their custom- . ers by C3l>le X)r.mail, thus showing that business in the United States must be good for certain styles of leaf. Unfor- ' tunatelV the stocks on hand are low and the most desirable goods are no longer in first hands here. There was some demand for low grades of Remedios for Germany and England. Partido \vrappefs and fillers are inquired for. On the nth instant we had quite a heavy rainfall for several hours in Ha- vana, which came, however, from the northwest, and does not seem to have entered into the interior of the island, therefore no harm was done to the still growing tobacco crop in Santa Clara Province, which requires dry weather until its maturity. Our temperature is already summer- like, with the thermometer in the eigh- ties during the day, but the nights are still cool. , , , , Sales ■ during the past week amounted to 2,091 bales, consisting of 416 Vuelta Abajo, 475 Partido and 1,200 Remedios. • Destinations' were: For the United States, 1,180; for Europe, 650, and for local consumption, 261 bales.

Havana Clarar Mahafacturern are at last beginning to see daylight again, as orders are coming in more fieely and this general improvement seems to come from all quarters. Of course as the spring trade is never very active, we cannot expect to see a big business just now, but it may be a fore- runner of a boom in the cigar line this coming fall. All of our big independent factories have a large stock of leaf of the choice 1908 crop still on hand, so no matter what the outcome of the 1909 growth may be finally, cons\imers of cigars will get a superior tasting product, uniform in quality, for the balance of this year. As there is no doubt that a large proportion of the coming crop will also be extra fine in quality, our manufacturers will be in a position to guarantee fine legitimate Havana cigars for the next two years. H. Upmann & Co. shipped 700,000 cigars during the past week. The H. Upmann factory is again running under full steam, owing to an accumulation of orders from everywhere. Behrens & Co., makers of the cele- brated Sol and Luis Marx brands, have also increased the number of their ci- garmarkers, thus proving conclusively that they have orders on hand which warranted this step.

This well-known and old-established firm will continue to handle in future Vuelta Abajo and Partido tobacco, besides its large pack- ings of Santa Clara leaf, although Don Casimiro Heres, who formerly had charge of the first-named, has separated his connection. Don Ladislao Menen- dez, the nephew of Don Manuel, is on deck again after his prolonged ab- sence in Spain, and he intends to push business for all it is worth during the ■coming season. ' Felix Eckerson was a buyer of 300 bales of Remedios. Sobrinos de. A. Gonzales sold '300" bales of Remedios and Vuelta Abajo during the past week. Marcelino Perez increased his holj^-, ings of the 1908 crop by a few' hun- dred bales of choice Vuelta Abajo, leav- ing for his home on Saturday's steam- er, the Saratoga. Jorge y P. Castaeeda disposed of 275 bales of Partido leaf during the last ■eight days. Frank R. Diaz was a buyer of sev- -eral good vegas of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. Perez y Obeso closed out 216 bales of Vuelta Abajo from their fine pack- ings. David Del Monte left also by the steamer Saratoga, well satisfied with the large purchases made by him of all Icinds of leaf tobacco. Avelino Pazos & Co. sold 200 bales •of Vuelta Abajo and Partido during the past week. John Boltz was erroneously reported as having left last week, while in reality * he only arrived here, accompanied by Herman G. Vetterlein, the broker. A. M. Calzada & Co. shipped 305 bales of leaf tobacco last week to one •of their customers. Our agricultural station at Santiago "de las Vegas has published a very in- leresting report about the future bet- terment of the raising of the nicotine plant in Cuba by using only the best soil adapted for the same, after a care- ful analysis of the soil and subsoil, by •employing only such fertilizers which the ground is particularly in need of, and by finally selecting only such seeds as will produce healthy and uniform seedlings. Irrigation upon a scientific plan is another improvement which is urgently needed, and which our govern- ment will have to undertake to help the farmers who are not favorably situated. A league has also been formed by dealers and planters to help each other • in the advancement of the culture of the weed, as well as in the handling of it after it has been cured and packed in bales. The following have been pub- lished as officers and directors: Honor- ary Presidents — Ortelio Foyo, Secre- tary of Agriculture: Luis Perez, Sub- Secretary of Agriculture; Doctor An- tonio S. de Bustomante; President — Luis Marx. Directors — General Albert Nodarse, Senator Manuel Lazo, Panlo L. Perez, of Perez & Obeso; Severo Jorge, of Jorge y P. Cast.inedo; An- tero Prieto, of Sobrinos de A. Gon- zales; Casimiro Heres, Antonio Ma Suarez, General Emilio Nunez, Tomas Medcros, Nicolas de Cardenas, Ave- lino Pazos and Jesus Rodriguez Bau- tista, of Rodriguez Bautista & Co.; An- gel G. del Valle, Secretary-Treasurer. Vidal Saenz has returned from Spain and will, in conjunction with his broth- er-in-law, Don Casimiro Heres, em- bark again in the leaf business. The firm of Rabell, Costa Vales & Co. has been dissolved, as per circular just issued, post dated January 2, 1909, and after Jesus Vales had been the sole proprietor he issued another cir- cular, under date of February 6, in- forming the trade of the new firm of Vales & Padilla. The latter continues the brands of Ramon Allones, Cruz Roja and La Eminencia cigars arid: cigarettes. The trade is wishjng the' successors well-deserved prosperity in the future. , An attempt on the life of General Emilio Nunez, of the Loeb-Nunez Ha- vana Co., was made last week by a would-be assassin, who fired- two shots which passed close to Mr. Nunez's head. His assailant was captured by the police, and he asserted that he was moved to the deed by political reasons originating when Mr. Nunez was Gov- ernor of the Province of Havana. The trade congratulated the latter on his escape unharmed, and sympathized with him all the more because the criminal selected the day one of Mr. Nunez's daughters was to be married, in order to turn the ceremony into a tragedy.

Article 2 reads: "That all persons whose applications for registration of trade-mark have heretofore been denied upon the prin- cipal ground of the similarity of their own names used in connection there- with to the names appearing upon other trade-marks, may, upon application, have their cases re-opened and the pe- titions granted, provided the marks sought for are not otherwise in con- flict with any registered trade-mark in force." «A«LC A»eMKS«'OU.»A' W^m^^^ CHARLES BLASCO Comnnission Merchant Leaf Tobaceo and Cl^ani 1 O'Reilly St ^SSs^ Habana, Cuba GONZALEZ Y MIGUEL Almacenistas de Tabaco en Rama Especialidad en Tabaco de Santa Clara de Primera Gl; Cable: "CASIN" AMISTAD 97, HABANA^ LUIS MARX Tobacco Grower No. 8 Cuba Street Post Office Box 77 - HABANA ^ E.

A tobacco tax bill was introduced in the Assembly last week by John R. Yale, of Putnam, which measure pro- vides for a scale of rates proportioned according to the population of the city, borough, town or village in which the tobacconist's business is carried on. Every dealer in a city or borough of 1,500,000 or more must pay an annual tax of $100; in a city or borough, of between 500,000 and 1,500,000, $75; be- tween 50,000 and 500,000, $50; between 10,000 and 50,000, $25; between 5000 and 10,000, $15; between 1200 and 5000, $10, and in any other place, $5. Assemblyman Reed put in a bill pro- viding that manufacturers and dealers in cigarettes shall pay a license fee of ^25 a year to the Secretary of State. Another tax bill, introduced by As- semblyman Cuvillier, imposes a tax of 25 cents per developed horse-power on improved waterways of the State. The ■owners of water-power are to make an- nual reports to the State Tax Commis- sioners. So far as can be ascertained the deal- ers-of this city are not greatly inter- -ested in the newly-proposed measure, yet the measure will probably be op- posed by the trade, although it might serve to curtail the number of establish- ments where cigars, etc., are now on sale, such as barber shops and small stands, etc., and would therefore natur- ally result in driving more trade to the larger establishments, yet it is not be- lieved that the measure would be allow- ed to become a law without some ob- jection being raised to it, if it ever passed at all. ♦ * 4< TRADE NOTES.

At last the trade and the whole country is face to face with the tariflf question. Perhaps the very worst that can happen is now known. There are likely to be modifications, amendments, possibly not to any great extent in the House, it is true, but when the Senate takes hold many changes may yet be expected, and the tendency of the Senate may be to increase duties wherever the House may have cut too deeply. But nothing stands in the way of the immediate consideration of the bill as drawn by the Ways and Means Committee of the late Congress. It has been made the bill of the committee of the new Congress, and for some days it will be discussed on the floor of the House. Then it passes over to the Sen- ate, and meanwhile the Finance Committee of that body will have been examining its every feature. So the real revision of the schedules is yet for the future. For the present the tariff schedules alone will interest Congress and the country. The Ways and Means Committee seems to have endeavored to maintain faith, and as a rule it has revised downward with some additions made to the free list, and with a few drastic cuts made here and there. It is yet too early to determine what effect the general reductions will have upon the country's business. So far, however, the tobacco industry seems to be affected adversely rather than in a way that was hoped for. There are still some opportunities for the trade to be further iiewd from before the Senate Finance Committee, and it is also likely that some further action -wiH be taken. While the Payne bill represents pretty fairly good intentions for revision downward on the part of the Ways and Means Committee, it was very bun- glingly carried out. In fact, so badly has the work been done that unless the bill shall be materially modified, it is likely to prove in operation little better than the Dingley bill. This is especially true so far as its effect upon the to- bacco industry is concerned. Certainly the protective principles have an ample margin of safety in the bill, but the concessions prove a realizing sense on the part of the House Re- publican leaders of the force of public sentiment for tariff reform. How far the Senate guardians of the interests will yield to the popular demand is ,yet to be demonstrated. * * ♦ Excerpts from the Daily Press. I Some test of the success Mr. Taft will have in securing tariff aid for the IFilipinos may be found in the fact that Congressman Hill, of Connecticut, is :sure that the tobacco interests of the valley will not be hurt by the clauses 'applying to the Philippines, but the beet sugar men from the West are ready for war on sugar. The limits of free importation in the two cases are: Sugar to be imported free to 300,000 tons. Wrapper tobacco to 300,000 prunids. Filler tobacco to 300,003 pounds. Cigars 150,000,000 in any one fiscal year. I The Filipinos themselves wanted entire free trade with the United States, but the committee evidently thought Col. Bryan's plan of cutting off the dog's tail by inches was preferable. — Exchangje. There is no danger that the five and ten-cent packages of cigarettes will be increased in price by the new tariff. While the price will remain the same, ithe cigarettes themselves will be reduced only in quality and quantity. — Phila- delphia Record. * ♦ ♦ They can't cheat Sereno Elisha Payne out of the credit for this tariff. Other times they have let him work until his blue eyes hung out on his cheeks, and then the names of the men who fathered the tariff bills were played in big black type. And way down at the end of the story, as a sort of after- thought, "Sereno Payne also helped." Not any more. Not for Sereno Elisha. When he lays an egg he will do the cackling. It took the Congressman from the Thirty-first New York dis- trict quite a spell to catch on to the combination. But he did catch on, and kept it. All the rest of the eminents in this Congress could twist the knob and play with the key of the safe as they pleased, but it did them no good. Sereno had set the time lock on them. Not that he hasn't been given credit for his hard work at other times. But he didn't get the wild huzza from the public. That was reserved for other men, and Sereno E. Payne had to stay back of the stage and work the thunder machine. After a while the stars of the occasion would reluctantly bid adieu to the howling multitude, and as they wiped the grease paint off their cheeks this to Sereno they would say: "Fine work, Sereno. I'll never forget what you have done for me. But, say! To-morrow night, when I get to the pathetic part of my speech, don't turn the crank quite so hard. Your thunder is fine, but play it pianissimo ifter this." — Philadelphia Inquirer. 12 riiP inrAT TAR A rrn NFW^ the sum of $26,000. The negotiation* mt LUtAL IUDAI.I.U IlCno ^^^^ conducted by A.

Tobacco Man's Daughter Now an Operatic Success. Lancaster, March 22. The success recently achieved at Puc- cini's Opera, at Savona, Italy, by a for- mer Lancaster girl, and a daughter of the late Morris Gershel, who was well- known to the tobacco trade throughout the country, has been the talk, not only of the society folk of this city, but of a host of Mr. Gershel's old friends and acquaintances. Miss Bertha Gershel, as she was knov/n then, was born in Lancaster and brought up here. She had made her home here during her girlhood days. She early showed great musical talent and natural inclinations led her into opera after a long training in Paris. In her recent debut she met with great success, and has been much lauded by both European and American critics. The former Miss Bertha Gershel is now Mrs. William Cutty, wife of the manager of the Musical Cuttys. She concluded her studies under the famous master, Jean de ReiJKke. It is expected that she will ere lorifg appear at one or more of the New York Opera Houses. She is a sister of Mrs. A. H. Sond- heimer, wife of the popular leaf tobacco packer of this city, and a niece of Mr. L. Gershel, of the leaf tobacco firm of L. Gershel & Bro., of New York. LANCASTER MARKET IS QUIET Packers Report Few Actual Sales, but Believe All Their Leaf Will Yet Find Buyers. Lancaster, March zi. There is still no change in the condi- tions of the local leaf tobacco markeJU and very few goods have been sold ^ittir- ing the past week by packers, except in jobbing lots to manufacturpfij nearby. There is encouragement iiowever, in the fact that inquiri«» are coming hi regarding leaf, aiMl ^ckers still believe that all the j^oods they have will be needed ip dine course, and therefore they i0ee not in any way purturbed at the i>Tesent apathetic condition. The )|Micking of the new crops goes merrily on, and the major portion of the to- bacco may be said to be already in boxes, with some of it already passing through the early stages of fermenta- tion. There is an absolute unanimity of opinion regarding one point, and that is that the quality of the crops this year is generally very satisfactory, and that is a most cheerful aspect. Unless un- expected damage develops during the sweating process, packers will likely have an elegant article to offer, and one which will command a reasonable price affording a reasonable profit on the in- vestment which has been made. There is no great improvement yet •' in the cigar industry, yet factories are beginning to work more regularly and some few with increased forces of em- ployes. The Slater factory in this city has again been put into operation and that alone affords employment for a goodly number of the cigarmakers which have for some time been entirely idle. Fred Jacobs, a traveling cigarmaker, who has for some time past been re- siding in Denver, was taken to the county almshous.e, on Tuesday, by Mr. M. J. Root, of Reamstown, h.; having; purchased the stock and jjood will ot William R. Householder^ who conduct- ed the business at t^ stand for the past several years. J^r. Hartman is a^ brother of A. J. y>rtman, president ot the South Mou^flin Lumber Company. Mr. Househfl^er has not yet fully de- cided wha^ 4)usiness he will engage in» but wijy remove with his wife to Mt. GreUjKi within a few weeks to Jtake. upi hi^ "Tesidelrice there ihr the summer; It is alleged that the habit of cig^ir-^ ette smoking is spreading very rapidly in this city, and especially by young boys who are going to school. An ex- tra effort is to be made by the school, authorities to check the habit. Refer- ence is made to the law on the subject^ which was approved on July 10, 1901^ and another one on April 4, 1903. . The first is as follows: ;. "An act to prohibit the sale and fuir- nishing of tobacco to persons under the age of sixteen years. "Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., that no person or persons shall sell tobacco in any form to any person under th«^ age of sixteen years. "Sec. 2, That no person or persons shall, by purchase, gift or other means, furnish tobacco in any form to a persoa under the age of. sixteen years. "Sec. 3. Any person violating the provisions of this act shall be guilty oC a misdemeanor, and upon convictioi* shall be sentenced to pay a fine not ex- ceeding one hundred dollars, or to un- dergo confinement in the county jail for a period not exceeding thirty ddyv or both, as the Court may determine. "Sec. 4. All acts or parts of acts in- consistent herewith be and the same are hereby repealed." Following is the act of 1903: '^ "An act for the protection of th4 health of persons addicted to the smok- ing of cigarettes and imposing a &n<( for the violation of its provisions. "Whereas, The smoking of cigar-, ettes is injurious to the health of the- young; therefore • "Section i. Be it enacted, etc., that Michael Hom A. F. BriUhMt Mannfiic- tllfCfSOI LEAP TOBACCO^ , I T.

YORK FACTORIES WORKING But Only with Moderate Forces, . and No Great Gain in the Output is Expected. York, Pa., March 22. The tobacco trade continued in a lethargic condition in this section of the 'country, although cigar manufacturers are for the most part "working with at least moderate forces. At the present rate of operation of the factories the month is not likely to show very great -gains, yet it may change before the month is out, and manufacturers may .yet forge ahead somewhat, for the time of the year has arrived when there should begin a greater activity and in- •creased demand for goods. Recent depredations among cigar fac- tories have set the whole trade agog, and every one is wondering what will happen next. Some nights ago the cigar factory of Allen Poet at Dallastnwn was de- ?;troyed by fire, which consumed, with the buixlin.j, a (pianlity of leaf tobacco anl cigars. > . hen M*-. Poet laid ihe fact conccrnin,^ the fire before the coun- ty officials, it was also revealed that he 1)ad missed upf)n recent but previous ■occasions small quanrities of tobacco. Investigati' ns which followed the story as related by Mr. Poet to the York police department led to a suspicion of a neighboring- cigar manufacturer and who was immediately taken under close surveillance. The result was that H. C. Fauth, who had been operating a fac- tory almost opposite to that of Mr. Pt)et at Dallastown, was taken into cus- t(jdy, charged with both arson and rob- bery. Almost at the same time the police department officials and the de- tective bureau were working on the robbery of the P. C. Fulweiler & Bros'. cigar factory in York. Hearings in two important tobacco robberies at (jne time were held be- fore Alderman C. F. Keech this morn- ing, with an additional charge of arson against one of the defendants, H. C. Fauth, who is charged with burning down the factory of Allen E. Poet, at Dallastown, to cover up the theft of a wagon load of the leaf, valued at $150. The other case was that against Martin Lentz and Melvin and Walter Mann, for robbing the Fulweiler factory, on Fair avenue. Fauth was held without bail for Court on charges of arson, felonious entry and larceny, while the Manns and Lentz were held under $1000 bail each. All were returned to jail. District Collector Liggit, of the local revenue office, was present at the hear- ing, bearing a letter from department headquarters notifying him to make a report of proceedings in both cases that action by the government might be decided upon. He was also requested to ^^^tcure descriptions, records and pho- tographs of the' accused men. These will be furnished by Chief of Detectives W hite. In the Dallastown case Allen E. Poet testified to the burning down of his factory Sunday night, and Chief White related his arrest of Fauth and his re- covery up tt) this time of all of the loot except one lot of cigars, at places where Fauth had stored or otherwise ('.isnosed of it. Employes at Deardorff's livery stable testified that Fauth had secured a horse rnd a spring wagon there Sunday night j'fter II o'clock, saying that he wished to take some trunks from the station to the country. He returned at 5 o'clock in the morning, saying that he had been t(i Tilden, a little town east of the city. William Boyer, a drayman, testified to having hauled one box of the stolen tobacco from Fauth's factory here to a local wholesale dealer, who had pur- chased it. In the case against Lentz and the Manns the manager of the Fulweiler fact(jry, John G. Bergdoll, gave an ac- count of the robbery, and of the manner in which his suspicion had fallen upon these men. Patrolman Moser testified that he had purchased a half dozen of the st(jlen cigars at Walter Mann's cigar store, where they were kept in a 1 asteboard box. He said Mann had 1 een chancing off a razor, and giving ( ne of the cigars with each chance. Chief of Police Bush testified to hav- ing directed the arrests of the Manns and Lentz, and to an admission made by Walter Mann that he had bought the cigars from Lentz. O. T. Given, an oyster dealer, said that Walter Mann offered a box of the stolen cigars for sale to him. .\ knife found in Mann's cigar store was identified as having belonged to William Jacobs, a workman in the Ful- weiler factory, who assisted in securing the information upon which the arrests were made. The Manns refusjsd to make vstate- nun's at the hearing, saying that. they will be represented later by an attorney. Lentz stated that he had seen a box of "Little Lou's," the cigars stolen, at Mann's cigar store, but that he had not sold them to Mann. Special Notices.

Who In this part of the valley knows of many crops still in the farmers' hands, and who can remember the time when the §rreat trade papers have advised the cigar manufactur- ers to commence to lay in a stock for fu- ture use, on the supposition that the mar- ket was empty of most of the grades of domestic tobacco? We must remember that last year the country was well clean- ed up- from East to West of all of the desirable gradts at least, leaving but lit- tle in the hands of the growers. That such a condition exists is all in favor of the growers, not only for- what Is now JjeJd by the grower of ^ the last y»ar;s crofl, but also of what may be grown this sea- sun. — Ainer.

R. station Wednesday, sTiIpping to Jersey Shore, Pa. Only a very small portion of the crop now remains in the growers' hands. The warehouses of J. W. Upson, F. M. Dunham and M. Tobin are .still open with handling tobacco. ke of Taranta I Connecticut V»Iley. it is not much of a time for the moving of the little l»alanck» of the crop now left in thi' hands of the growers. I have not s»en or hesird of ji buyer in this locality for more than a week. But when I hear that a man Is sampling a few hundred • ases, 1 try to think that perhaps there may be a buyer calculating to straggle into this part of the valley in hopes he may tiiid a fair lot of 1908 tobacco that has been through the sweat. Well, let them come, we are not afraid (►f them, and if they should happen to pur- chase a hun ba( <'o xliedulc. For t\n' last 1 \vo or three months we have lici II telliiig onr tobacco growers to go slow in selling good wrappers and binder stock hi ji hurry, for we believed the mar- kets wt're becoining depleted of good stock, iinil now as an evidence of such a situa- tion we annex the coininent of the Tobacco .lounial. In which they now claim that in the snninter or early fall jtrices of all good grades of goods will probably advance two or tiMce cents per pound, for the fact is Wisconsin. Edgerton, Wis., March 19.— The buy- ing movement s >ems almost entirely sus- pended for the present and for the first time in many weeks we have no list of re- cent sales to report. Doubtle-ss a moderate amount of riding will be resumed by lo- cal packers when the country roads are more inviting, though the present outlook does not warrant the belief that there will be any rush to take over the remnants of the crop. Packers are still receiving their purchases, but the deliveries are nearly in. and warehouse handling well along with most of the dealers. The sea- son, however, will continue for some weeks yet In this market. The markipt for old leaf Is gradually as- suming better conditions. Inquiries for samples and prices are more frequent and while no l.-irge transactions have developed, packers are confidently looking forward to a imire normal trade. A. Jenson & Sons report the sale of 150 cases of '07 during the week. The shii)ments out of storage reach 846 cases and six car loads of bundles from this market to all points for the week past. Since last report 42 carloads have been received from outlying points for warehouse handling. Janesville. Wis., March 19.— A decided decline in the buying mx 96 B. F. Hoffman N. R. Hoffman MILTON H.

BEN ALL NEW FACTORY FOR REYNOLDS May be Built on Ground Recently Bought, and Will be Nam- moth Structure. Winston-Salem, N. C, March 19. With the intention of erecting a mammoth tobacco factory, one that will employ over a thousand hands, the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Hyesterday virtually purchased from Col- gnel H. Montague the old Miller Broth- ers' lot on the Cornelr of Depot and First and Chestnut streets, the consid- eration being $20,000. The deal, which is the largest real estate transacti/h pulled oflF in this city for years, will be completed to-day. The R. J. Reynolds Company has had an option on this valuable property for sixty days and yesterday Mr. W. N. Reynolds informed Colonel H. iMontague, the owner, that the company would take the property. How soon actual building will begin cannot be stated, as the plans are not yet ready. Mr. W. N. Revnolds was called up last night by a Journal re- porter and he stated that another plant was contemplated, but he could not say when actual work would be started. It is understood that the new plant, when built, will give employment to a thousand or more people. The lot to be contracted for to-day contains a little more than an acre of ground. The terms will be spot cash. The R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com- pany already employs five thousand or more people in its several plants here, and the erection of another mimmoth factory will give additional employment to a thousand or more. CUBAN SUGAR AND TOBACCO. From Habana, Consul-Gcneral James L. Rodgers reports, under date of March 5, that a decidedly optimistic opinion as to the sugar and tobacco production of this year now prevails in Cuba. His details follow: While the abundant rains, especially in the eastern half of the island, have given some warrant for the belief that the sugar production would be curtail- ed, there is yet such a fine growth of cane in nearly all sections that low estimates of the yield are generally discredited, although everyone must ad- rnit that the outcome must depend en- tirely upon the weather of the early spring. It only seems safe to state that if the grinding season is approximately identical with that of 1908 there will be at least a near approach to the accepted estimate of 1,400,000 tons. However, the qualifying statement is to the effect that the spring of 1908 was abnormally dry and that there is evidence of the re- verse this year. So the estimate of 1,300,000 tons is the favorite one of the C(mservative. The prevailing good prices of Cuban sugars and the hope of a continuance, however, make the outlook satisfactory to both the pronounced optimist and the conservatives. There is little ground for the pessimist upon any condition re- lating to the volume and price of the output. As to tobacco, the acreage, as stated in the early days of the planting, will be much reduced, but the quality will be exceptionally good and there should be correspondingly good prices because the surplus of poor stock has been absorbed. m.

The manage- ment looks forward to a fair year. F. Lozano Sons & Co. report busi- ness this year 40 per cent, better than last year. Twenty-five more within the past two weeks. Business with Sanchez & Haya shows up about the same as that of last year. There is very little change in the busi- ness thus far, but the company expects to have an appreciably better year than that enjoyed in 1908. i S. R.

Mr. Morey expects it to improve continuously until the normal has been resumed. Edgar J. Stachelberg, manager of the Tampa business for M.

Percival S. Hill Visits the City. Toledo. 0.. March 25 Toledo may become a centre of opera- tions for the American Tobacco Com- pany, with a plant located here employ- ing 1,000 men. Percival S. Hill, vice president of the American Tobacco Company, and presi- dent of the American Cigar Company, was given a reception last week at the Secor. Mr. Hill is on his way frofn Chicago to New York and stopped oflf in Toledo. The purpose of the reception was to make the Eastern man acquainted with Toledo and Toledoans. This is his first visit to this city, although his company ^wns the old Zahm tobacco plant on De- 'troit avenue. ■r The reception was arranged by Mar- shall Sheppey, of Berdan & Company. •Mr. Sheppey was instrumental in inter- esting the American Tobacco Company in Toledo. It was mainly through his efforts that the Zahm plant was disposed of to the Pinkertons. Since the Ameri- can Tobacco Company took over the Tol- edo plant about a year ago the output has been doubled and the concern is now employing twice as many men as it did in the palmiest days of the Xahm re- gime. When the American Tobacco Com- pany located in Toledo it abandoned its Zanesville plant, though it cost $30,000 to dismantle the factory and move the machinery to this city. The move has been a good one for the company, which now looks upon Toledo as one of the greatest distributing centres in the coun- try. It is Mr. Shcppey's hope that Mr. Hill can be made to see the advantages of the city as a manufacturing centre, and to this end the reception has been plan- ned. After the meeting at the Secor the head of the great tobacco company was taken in an automobile for a ride around the city, after which he visited the plant on Detroit avenue. It is hoped that as the result of the visit here of Mr. Hill another big to- bacco plant, employing about 1,000 men, will be started by the company in this city. Those who attended the reception to the New Yorkers were : F. J. Reynolds, president of the First National Bank ; M. W. Young, president of the Second National ; S. D. Carr, president of the National Bank of Commerce ; C. L. Rey- nolds, president of the Toledo Savings Bank & Trust Company; S. O. Richard- son, Jr., president of the Liberty Glass Company; J. K. Secor, vice president of the Northern National Bank; Edward Ford, president of the Edward Ford Glass Company ; Mayor Brand Whit- lock, Judge J. H. Doyle, Charles T. Lewis, W. L. Milner, president of the Chamber of Commerce; Sherwood M. Pinkerton, manager of the Pinkerton Tobacco Company, of Toledo; J. H.

Small Stocks on Hand Have Incited Shipments of '^ibre de Pie," but Buyers Give it Little Atten- tion. Small Vegas of the 1907 Leaf are Being Brought Forward to Replace the Vanishing 1908. ^peci^il Correspondence o .-/- -. ... .t The sales reported this weel< include several transactions which h|d been made earlier this moiith, butr had not become known. The actuaf business done this week has been small, princi- pally caused. by the scarcity of buyers 'n town. The chief operation was a ship- ment of 872 bales of Vuelta Abajo ccf'as and botes for Germany, and which had ■been partly purchased direct frorA the farmers in the country. Some new libre de pie from the Remates and Ovas sec- tions have arrived in our market, at- tracting, however, Httle or no attention to speak of, as the same shows the usual ■defects of this class of tobacco, having been gathered without any previous fer- mentation in the piles. In times of a gr^at scarcity of tobacco it is used for mixing with heavier qualities, but as our manufacturers have enough stocks on hand and the cigar business is by no means active, there is no demand for that class of goods. To judge the com- ing leaf by libre de pie is also very mis- leading, as often enough the latter is de- fective, and the real crop is good, while the conditions may be just^the contrary in othier^years. ■'^^' .J" The 1909 growth will contain some good leaf, some medium qualities, as well as some poor tobacco, but to deter- mine the proportion of each at this date would be folly. Neither can the quan- tity be determined with any accuracy, al- though the general opinion seems to be that it will be as large as last year. The stocks of the 1908 crop in first hands are only small, but there are still enough vcgas of Vuelta Abajo from the 1907 growth to be had, waiting for American buyers to take hold of them. This class of leaf has improved by age, and the asking prices are very reason- able in order to attract dealers or man- ufacturers. „ f The Tobacco World. Havana, March 22, 1909.

Evi- dently there will be no great activity un- til the new crop will be ready to be turn- ed into cigars, and this will be next fall. By that time general business con- ditions all over the world ought to have improved sufficiently to allow the well- to-do class to enjoy the luxury of smok- ing an imported, legitimate Havana ci- gar again to a larger extent.

The Sol factory is steadily improving, as the Sol and Luis Marx brands are called for in large quantities from Steady customers all over the \yorld. Rodriguez Bautista & Co. sold 951 bales of Remedios and Vuelta Abajo this month. A. Winterberg purchased 300 bales of fine Vuelta Abajo for his El Rayo fac- tory. • , Bruno, Diaz & Co. were sellers of 500 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido to their customers. E. H. Smith was a buyer of quite a quantity of leaf tobacco during his stay here. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez closed 350 bales of Vuelta Abajo from their hold- ings. Their new warehouse, corner of Industria and Barcelona streets, is pro- gressing, but it will be some months be- fore it will be completed. John H. Boltz and Herman G. Vet- terlein left here well pleased with their purchases. A. M. Calzada & Co. shipped 1,000 bales of leaf tobacco to different parts of the United States. Don Ant onio Cal- zada is actively preparing for the com- ing new crop. A. Pazos & Co. disposed of 295 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Bartido during the past week. Sylvester & Stern have made some big sales to their customers in the United States. They also purchased 500 bales additional of a p»-imc Remedios escojida, first capadaurajj, for which they paid a very liberal price. Suarez Hnos sold 295 bales of Vuelta Abajo to northern and local buyers. J. F. Bcrndes & Co. shipped 275 bales of leaf tobacco to Bremen and 446 bales to the United States last week. Manuel Sanchez, better known as ^'Praviano," and who is well known as one of our cracker-jack buyers of fine Vuelta Abajo vegas in the country, has made a connection with the old-estab- lished house of Manuel Menendez Parra. Richard Sichel, who arrived here on Wednesday last, by the steamship Ha- vana, has been seen in all of our ware- houses, but so far the amount of his purchases has not been made known. Perico Martinez, of Sierra & Martin «z, left on the 20th instant for Bilboa, Spain, by the steamship Alfonso XHI, taking a well-earned vacation. Judging by the number of carts seen unloading tobacco at O'Reilly No. i, Charles Blasco must have been quite a buyer of leaf this past week. BEGEIPTS FROM THE COUNTRY.

Hopes Streogthen as the Days Lengthen. Tariff Now the Disturbing Question. Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. Boston, March 29. Trade conditions have improved somewhat over the previous week ; a few days of spring weather did the trick. There is considerable gossip going on about the Payne tariff bill, and should the present bi'l pass the House and be signed by the President, cigarette manu- facturers will all advance the prices and the poor retailers will get it in the neck again, as the consumer will be able to buy at the old prices. The new bill, however, will cut off a lot of business from many of the cut-price dealers, whose usual aim is to sell goods for nothing, making very little himself and harming all his competitors. N. E. Nichols, with the Phillip Mor- ris Company, arrived in town Wednes- day and the first thing he did was to go over to Cambridge where a cut-price war has been raging for the past month between the University Smoke Shop and the Roundevours, and 25c. brands of cigarettes were being sold for i6c. and 15c. packages at 9c. Mr. Nichols ar- ranged matters in a satisfactory way be- tween the rivals, and now 25c. brands are being sold at the regular price and 15c. brands likewise. Kid Nichols is certainly a wonder; his gift of gab can't be beat, and it came in mighty handy this week, as it was no easy matter to settle that controversy. The old cigar firm of Hyneman Bros, has been dissolved. Bernard Hyneman retired from the firm and is now the proprietor of the cigar stand in the Old South Building. The firm of Hyneman Bros, is now composed of Asher, Louis and Ruby Hyneman. Ruby, a son of Ash- er, having been admitted to the firm. Hyneman Bros, arc the New England distributers for the Hilson Co.'s Hoff- man House Bouquet cigar and Rosenthal Bros.' famous R. B. brand. Harry Sachs, who has spent several weeks around town working on the Talk Tabocca Co.'s line of smoking mixtures, left to-day for New York. He expects to return in several weeks to continue doing missionary work on the same goods. Henry Weiss, representing E. G. Perez & Co., Porto Rican cigar manu- facturers, was in town several days looking after the sale of his brands. La Solera and Dianita. While here Henry scooped in a number of nice orders. Dave Bendheim (Metropolitan To- bacco Co.), and Carl Berger (S. M. Frank Co.), were two pipe salesmen here this week. Jack Dubrcuil (Khedivial Co.), was in New York this week visiting the fac- tory. Jokey Rogers (Ware-Kramer Tob. Co.), who has been visiting trade in Western Massachusetts for the last three weeks, returned Saturday night and re- ports having done a big business in that section. A. L. Myers (M, Melachino & Co.), reports an increasing business on his va- rious sizes of Melachino cigarettes. The new No. 20 size is duplicating nicely wherever placed.

Prices have certainly not been affected in a way that is adverse to thfe leaf holder, but in fact, in at least sev- eral types of tobacco, a slight advance is also imminent. The trade is some- what cheered by the fact that the 1908 crop of Connecticut broad leaf is one of the finest crops grown in recent years, although not quite as light in color, perhaps, as was hoped for.

MARCH 31. 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS General quietness again characterized the leaf market of this city during the past week. The business done consisted principally of small sales. The only transaction of moment was a purchase of 700 ca9«s Pennsylvania of the 1908 goods. "*"s^- The outlook is r(tgs,rded as brighter, notwithstanding the fact that sales dur- ing the week were not large. It is not amiss to say that there is now evident a shortage in the supply of fine B's, and particularly of Zimmer and Penn- sylvania broad leaf types. Goods of this class are almost certain to come into general demand in the course of a little time, and possibly manufacturers will only realize it when they go into the market to find sufficient available sup- plies. New Sumatra tobaccos have been offered in this market during tjie.past, week, and ,so far as can be ascertained the samples shown have given general satisfaction, notwithstanding the prices are somewhat higher than for some of last year's importations. Old goods are also selling moderately, but in small lots. There was a considerable movement of Havana tobaccos and prices are get- ting really firm. There are only moder- ate stocks, and desirable offerings generally found ready purchasers. The cigar industry is not particularly active, with possibly a few exceptions. Ihe volume of business in that line has been entirely moderate, yet not alto- gether bad. It is not up to the expecta- tions for this time of the year, when greater activity should be at hand. Re- ports from traveling salesmen are rather more encouraging, and manu- facturers seem fairly cheerful under all the circumstances. The widely-heralded sale of the busi- ness of the Boch-Griffin Co. was held on Monday afternoon at the Bourse, when Barnes & Lofland, auctioneers, sold at public sale, by order of the Dis- trict Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, as a whole, the fixtures, lease and stock of goods. The price received was $3700, which is considered by many as a good figure, although the purchaser, a Mr. tischler, who made the purchase on behalf of his son, is well satisfied with the transaction so far ks he is con- cerned. With the fixtures, the customary visi- 12 tors to this city are fairly familiar, and the stock consisted principally of high- grade cigars, among which were 9600 fine Porto Rico cigars, 7500 Key West cigars, 6000 Havana resagos, 4500 do- mestic cigars, 2875 imported cigars, 1350 stogies, 1270 broken lot Havana cigars, 1351 broken lot Key West cigars, 549 in broken boxes of Porto Rico cigars, several job lots of cigar- ettes, plug and smoking tobacco. Although the auctioneers also tried but the plan of selling the fixtures, stock, etc., separately, not near the price received for. the whole was bid, and the sale as a whole was declared accepted. It was confirmed by the ref- eree in bankruptcy on Tuesday at i o'clock, and the new owner immediately took possession. The sale of the Boch-Griffin Co. was attended by, a goodly number of mem- bers of the locad tTTfd^andvisitors from out of town. Among the most inter* ested spectators might be named A. Oppenheimer and Mr. Sulzberger, of the Sulzberger-Oppenheimer Co.; Henry Ashbrunner, representing Duncan & Moorehead, and who was also the trus- tee of the bankrupt estate; Robert Yahn and W. J. McDonnell, of Yahn & McDonnell; Henry Weis, represent- ing E. G. Perez & Co., New York; C W. Saunders, with the Cortez Cigar Co., K6.y West; A. J. Atherholt, with Boch & Co., Broad street retailers; N. Griffin, formerly of the Boch-Griffin Co.; W. G. Worthington and Mr. Cf)oper, of the Cooper Cigar Co., and others. During an interview with Mr. Julius Vetterlein, president of the Philadel- phia Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, Mr. Vetterlein remarked that he had seen his name used in the trade press as a candidate for president of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association, which was contrary to his wishes, was wholly unauthorized, and, further, that under no circumstances would he permit his name to be used in that connection at the meeting soon to be held in Balti- more. He was even emphatic in an- nouncing that under no circumstances would he accept office in any official ca- pacity in the National Association. The writer was given to understand that he was certainly not in accord with some of the actions of the National Associa- tion, which he regarded as not having really been in the best interests of the trade at large, and that he personally could not indorse such a course. It was not said in a manner disparaging what had been done, but simply to make it clear that since he could not perst^n- ally agree with it in every respect, he wf)uld not consider himself suitable to act in an official capacity. The attitude of the National Association on the tar- iff question is one of the things in which Mr. Vetterlein does not concur. Lewis Bremer's Sons this week fig- ure as the principals in several sales made to "out-of-town, buyers. W. H. Sassaman and Cal. Shively, of Sassaman & Co., Sunneytown, Pa., were visitors in the leaf market this week. Whether the "all-tobacco" cigarette is a "little cigar" or a cigarette in the meaning of the law against the selling of cigarettes to minors will have to be decided in the case of Louis Wasser- berger, of 1900 Norris street, who was held by Magistrate Gorman last week on a charge of selling cigarettes to schoolboys. Two boys volunteered information against Wasserberger, William Boyle, 15 years old. and Lytle Tranim, 17 years old, both of South Nineteenth street. Nine months ago Tramm. bought cigarettes from Wasserberger, he swore, and Boyle swore that he was there at the time. Wasserberger said he never sold, cigarettes to any one under the age of 21. He had sold "little cigars" to schoolboys, he admitted. It developed that the little cigars were a well-known brand of all-tobacco cigarettes. He was held in $500 bail for trial.

Lancaster, Pa., March 29th. There is 1:0 change in the conditions of the local leaf tobacco market, and during: the past week there were only a comparatively few inquiries received concerning goods. Everything is in an unsettled condition and no one seems to know just where they are at. While Jie new tariff bill was acceptable to the local people in part, they are still ex- pecting to see some changes made, but just to what cx'cnt is the cause of al' the present uncertainty. The Philippine question as taken up by the tariff bill, is causing some ur.easiness among the farmers as well as the cigar manufac- turers, and the result has been that the leaf trade has really become all the more stagnated. Tobacco growers are working on their seed beds preparatory to early spring work, and some few beds have been sown and heavily covered with bris.le and canvass to protect them against pos- sible frosts. The acreage so far as can be learned, will not be reduced but prok'.bly somewhat increased. The cigar industry is far from satis- • actory, and while there is some business doirg there are still a large number 01 factories tha: are greatly affected and rum iiig in very limited output; others are not open at all at the present time The output for the month, which will be known in a few days, will probably show a little surprise looked forward .0 that March would record a whole- some increase in the output of cigars, but in this regard manufacturers do not nnv feel so sanguine. The tobacco growers of this section have been aroused to action by the pro- visions of the Payne tariff bill, which provides for a liberal importation of both Philippine tobacco and nearly the whole of the present production of cigars, free of duty. .\ conference was held in Lancaster between Congressman W. W. Griest and the officers and a number of the leading members of the Lancaster County To- bacco Growers' Association regarding that portion of the proposed new iariif bill relating to the introduction of Phil- ippine tobacco and cigars. Congress- man Griest said that as the conditions that are now incorporated in ihe new tariff bill are exactly those which had been proposed by the tobacco interests three years ago, when it was proposed to admit Philippine tobacco free, it would be next to impossible to change now what had been accepted then. The association members unanimously agreed that a fixed duty on wrappers and tillers, say of 50 per cent, of the present rates, wou'd be more acceptable to Penn- sylvania tobacco growers than the ad- mission of 300,000 pounds of wrappers and 3.000,000 pounds of fillers free of duly, as proposed by the bill. The disproportion of the amount of fdlers to the ([uantity of wrappers was discussed, and the hope expressed that the 3,000,000 pounds of fillers, allowed by the bill to come in free, might be cut down one-half. Congressman Griest, acting with Sen- a or Penrose, will attempt to have the bill amended I0 meet the requirements of Pennsylvania growers. rA.HUSSEvl • LEAfMOiOa).

Leaf Tobacco Markets C'ONNECTIC'l T VALLEY. The only artlvity in the tohiH-co line at present seems to hi' in the sweating of the (•aseeing sown, for. in fact. It has been hard work to get the ice and snow removed. I heard of one nuui, Mr. N , chopping ice on his beds two days, but has since put the glass ov<'r the frames. The local manufacturers lujve been kept quite busy for some time past in getting frames ready for delivery, and I presume the business will be pushed until the seed sowing is completed. American Cultivator. I)ouuds to the acre. The crop was de- livered to Turner Brothers, in Greenville, the price paid being 10 cents per pound. — • Enterprise. Mlamisburg.— There is some buying in tobacco circles, but it is done so quietly that but little commotion is caused. Ten cents seems to be the popular price with the buyer, but one hears occasionally of higher figures being given for extra good crops. Most of the buying so far hag been in the northern part of the tobacco district, and but comparatively little is reported bought in the vicinity of Mlamis- burg. The buyers here are slow to sell at ten ctnts. — News. . OHIO. .\rcanum.— There have been good crops of loba<'co raised in Darke county In 1908. One of the crops raised by Harry G. .Monks. wh<» resides east of Palestine. Oflf of four and one-half acres he raised 8459 poiiiids of Spanish, an average of 1902 tVISCONSIN. Edgerton, March 26.— The buying move- ment needs resuscitrttlng if the balance of Jhe '08 crop is to be taken over before the close of the handling season. Aside from a little picking away at the unsold portion at reduced prices there is less doing than any time since the crop com- menced to move. Nowhere does there ap- pear to be any organized effort made at present towards adding to the holdings of purchasers. Some large deliveries have been made during the week, the American Toba<-co Company receiving about 12 car- loads at Stoughton on Wednesday and Thursday. Packers generally have their purchases nearly in now and the ware- house work well along, though some of the large operators have stock in sight that will keep help employed for some weeks yet. The promised revival of trade in old leaf has not materialized to any extent yet. The sales of the '07 packiiig of Campbell & IVterson, at Orfordville, of 200 cases is reported sold to IIoflTman, of Lancaster, Pa., who also bought a ]i)0-case lot of a local dealer. There are some inilications of spring pre.sent. but Uothing has yet been done toward laying the seed beds of another crop. The shipments out of storage reach 927 cases and 0 carloads from this market to all iioints for the week. Since last rejiort 10 carloads have been received from outside points for Ijandling here.— Re- porter. Janesvllle, March 20.— The buying move- ment .seems almo.st entirely suspended for the present, and for tlie first time in many weeks we liave'no list of recent sales to report, says the Edgerton Reporter. Doubt- less a moderate amount of riding will be resumed by local packers when the country roads are more inviting, though the pres- ent outlook does not warrant the- belief that there will be any rush to take over the remnants of the crop. Packers are still receiving their purcluises, but the deliveries are nearly in and warehouse handling well along with most of the deal- ers. The sea.son, however, will continue for some weeks yet In this market. The market for old leaf is gradually as- suming better conditions. Inquiry for samples and prices are more frequent, and, while no large transactions have developed, packers are confidently looking forward' to a more normal trade. A. Jenson & Sous report the sale of 150 cases of '07 during the week. The shipments out of storage reach 846 cases and six carloads of bundles from this market to all points for the week past. Since last report 42 carloads have been received from outlying points for warehouse handling,— Gazette.

The United States is the greatest tobacco-producing country in the world. During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1908, we exported 330,- 812,658 pounds of unmanufactured to- bacco, valued at $34,727,157. We also ■exported manufactures of tobacco to the value of $4,736,522. During the same period we imported 32,056,049 pounds of unmanufactured tobacco, valued at $22,870,328, and manufactures of tobacco to the value of $4,397,585. In comparison with these figures it is seen that the importation of Philip- pine tobacco and cigars under the limi- tations of the Payne bill would be in- significant, but from the point of view of the Connecticut Valley grower a principle is at stake. It is not the immediate effects of the proposed ar- rangement he fears, but the subse- quent developments. SMOKERS OUT $45,000,000. - Size of Tobacco Packages, Reduced in War Time, Never Restored. A "joker" by which the tobacco users of the country were mulcted to the amount of nearly $45,000,000 has been discovered in the existing rev- enue laws of the United States by Representative Dawson, of Iowa, who at once introduced a bill to correct the error. Under the Dingley tariff law the two-ounce package of tobacco sell to the consumer at 5 cents each and the four-ounce packages at 10 cents. Reduced Through War Tax. In 1898 a war revenue tax of 6 cents a pound additional was levied on tobacco. At the same time, in or- der to serve the convenience of the trade, authorization was given for the reduction of the sizes of packages from two, three and four ounces to one and two-thirds, two and one-half and three and one-third ounces, thus enabling the smoker to procure a 5-cent and a lo-cent package of tobacco "at the store." In due time the war revenue tax was repealed. Somebody forgot, Mr. Dawson believes, to restore the pack- ages of tobacco to the original sizes, and hence, ever since 1902, the con- sumer of tobacco has been paying the equivalent of the war revenue tax to the manufacturers. Would Restore Full Weight. According to the figures obtained from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, over 32,000,000,000 one and two-third-ounce packages have been sold during the past six years, and over 12.000,000,000 packages of three and one-third-ounce size. Represen- tative Dawson figures out that the pur- chaser of each small package has been mulcted out of i cent and the pur- chaser of the larger of 2 cents, and hence the joker has cost the consumer almost $45,000,000. Mr. Dawson's bill proposes to re- store the packages to the original size. EL RICO HABANO RECOGNIZED ©C By President Gomez, of the Republic of Cuba.

One Sale of the 1909 Crop Reported. Gossip of the City Trade. Opening of the New Produce Exchange Building. special Correspondence of Although there are only a few Amer- ican buyers in town and business for the States is rather quiet on this ac- count, there was one large transaction by a local commission house, which purchased 800 bales of Remedios (8a) ior a Canadian manufacturer, and is still in the market. For Germany also over 800 bales were bought, consisting of low grades of Remedios, Semi Vuelta and Vuelta Abajo tobacco. Fur- thermore about 800 bales secured by the local factories were in reality pur- chased previously this month, but as they had not been reported they were included in last week's sales to keep the statistics as nearly correct as pos- sible. After making these deductions there are only a trifle over 800 bales left as new business done during the past eight days for the American mar- ket., This does not include, however, sales made by the American houses which are packers, dealers and ex- porters. The weather in Havana has ruled dry and the same holds true of the coun- try, excepting in some localities where light showers have occurred. A few farmers, who have enough of temprano cut tobacco on hand, are said to have taken advantage of the temporary hu- midity to take down the leaves from the poles, bundled them and thrown the bundles into piles to undergo the first fermentation. This may be a mis- take, as has been the case in former years. As' a rule, the tobacco ought not to be piled and packed until the real wet season has certainly set in. An exception may have to be made for the farmers who cut each plant separately, and which, being thorcnigh- ly, perhaps do not need a prolonged sweat in the piles. LUIS MUNIZ MANUEL NUNIZ HILARIO NUNI£ The Tobacco World. Havana, March 29, 1909. One sale of the new Vuelta Abajo (1909 crop) has been reported in the country from San Juan y Martinez. The name of the veguero is Eusebio Lima, his finca "El Corojal," and the buyer's name is Antonio Garcia. Prices paid are said to be as follows : la-ioa to 12a, at $400 per bale I3a-i4a & Qdo4a, at 160 per bale 15a & Qdosa, at 100 per bale i6a, at 60 per bale 17a, at 35 per bale i8a, at 10 per bale Whether these prices are high or reasonable is hard to say, as every- thing depends upon the watchfulness of the buyer to see that the farmer makes a careful escojida later on. SALES were 3269 bales in all, of which 858 were Vuelta Abajo, 1046 Partido and 116'; Remedios. For the American and Canadian markets 1624 bales were purchased, for export to Europe 835, and for local consumption 810. EXPORTS FOR THE WEEK.

Business is fair and orders are coming in for immediate shipment to supply the pressing needs of importers and retailers in the North, as well as in Europe. H. Upman & Co. exported 450,000 cigars last week of their own famous H. Upmann brand, as well as from other independent manufacturers. Their factory is working quite satis- factorily. The Sol factory received some nice orders (high-priced ones) from Sir William Van Home, who is president of the Cuban Railroad, and who never fails to secure a sufficient supply from Behrens & Co. for his own use, as well as for his numerous friends and acquaintances ^ in Montreal and the United States, whenever he comes to Havana. . The Henry Clay and Bock & Co., Ltd., is making 350,000 cigars per day since Don Gustave Bock is again at the helm of this factory. Don Jose Lastra left a week ago for the United States, in the interest of La Escepcion factory. Laureano Torres, manager of the Castaneda factory, has severed his •connection, and R. J. Serrano has been appointed manager in his place. BUYING, SELLING AND OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST. A. Pazos & Co. sold 402 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido last week. H. Upmann & Co. purchased 400 bales of all kinds of leaf tobacco for ■export to customers in the United States and Germany. Sobrinos de A. Gonzales were sell- ers of 325 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedies leaf. Richard Sichcl, during his 10 days' stay in Havana, was a hard and con- scientious worker in making selecs- tions of the best vegas still to be found here. He secured, according to a well-informed authority, close on to 400 bales of the finest vegas grown in 1908 in the provinces of Pinar del Rio and Havana. His house, B. Rosen- bluth, of New York, can surely offer to its customers the most aromatic leat which comes from the island of Cuba. A. M. Calzada & Co. have sold two vegas of Partido fillers, amounting to 175 bales. Harry Slavinsky was a newcomer to our market from the Windy City, and is said to have made some pur- chases of good leaf for the Havana Import Co. Suarez Hnos. disposed of 170 bales of Remedios. Charles Blasco was busy this week, as he sh'pped (including stripped fillers) an amount equal to 330 bales of leaf. B. Diaz & Co. closed out 150 bales of Vuelta Abajo from their Choice holdings. Yesterday, March 28, the inaugura- tion of our new Produce Exchange Building took place. According to Spanish custom, it was blessed by the Bishop and there was a select number of invitations given only to our bank- ers, merchants and best society in gcn« cral. President Jose Miguel Gomez, the members of his Cabinet, Senators and Representatives were also pres- ent. This is the finest five-story iron and concrete building erected here. It fronts the Bay, and is situated in the old San Francisco Place. It was constructed by Purdy & Henderson, American constructors, and the total cost does not exceed (with the ground) $800,000. The floors are marble, and it is fire-proof, with all modern con- veniences. The large cupola is sur- mounted by a gilt figure of Mercury. RECEIPTS OF TOBACCO FROM THE COUNTRY.

Packers Preparing the 1908 Tobacco for Market. Little Damage Shown in (he Crop thus far. Lancaster, Pa., April 5. There was again very little activity in the leaf market, and about the only pur- chases made were taken by local cigar manufacturers. A short time ago a lot of 700 cases 1908 Broad leaf was sold to a large leaf house, and it was the last sale of consequence which has been re- ported. Excellent progress is being made by packers with their new goods, the great bulk of their purchases having been re- ceived. Considerable bulk sweating is being done this year, and the goods will consequently be ready earlier than is the case when the older method of packing in cases for sweating is employed. An unusually small percentage of damage has developed this year, and that fact lends some encouragement, and it will also no doubt have a wholesome ef- fect upon the market when the goods are ready for sale. Some inquiries continue to come to hand, and that also has a tendency to make packers feel a little more hopeful of better market conditions coming. Farmers are busily preparing for the tobacco planting season of 1909. Some seed beds have been planted, but the weather conditions have so far not been favorable to much progress being made. There is little discussion heard as re- gards possible average this year, but it is safe to predict that it will not likely fall short of last year, if, indeed, it does not exceed the acreage of 1908. No improvement is apparent in the ci- gar industry, judging from conditions In this city and the reports received from towns throughout this country. Yet the indications are that the report of the Collector of Internal Revenue will show some gain during the month of March, as compared with February. The State Legislature last week made an appropriation of $5,000 to the tobacco experiment station, which will enable the work to be continued this year. S. N. Wolf, of the cigar manufactur- ing firm of Wolf & Ilackmon, at Akron, returned last week from a business trip through the West. He reports somewhat of an improvement in business. H. E.

The New York Tribune recently pub- lished a reported interview with Presi- dent Duke, of the American Tobacco Co., as follows: "James B. Duke denied yesterday a report that he was about to retire from the presidency of the American Tobac- co Company, which he has held since the formation of that great corporation. Published articles yesterday, which in- cluded that rumor, also pointed to cer- tain changes in the lists of officers and directors of the American Tobacco Company and the American Cigar Com- pany as indicating that Thomas F. Ryan and the Widener-Elkins interest.s were strengthening their control of the companies, and that the Duke inter- est was being weakened correspond- ingly. In^ suppojt of this it was point- ■ed out that Benjamin N. Duke and George W. Watts had resigned as di- rectors of the tobacco company and that Josiah T. Wilcox had succeeded William H. McAllister as secretary. "These changes, however, occurred a year ago. At that time George D. Widener succeded B. N. Duke as a director, Mr. Duke having retired be- •cause of ill health; Thomas B. YuUe succeeded Mr. Watts, and George W. Elkins took the place of the late C. E. Halliwell. The interest of the Widen- ■ers and the Elkinses in the tobacco company and their confident belief in its future have long been common knowledge in Wall Street, and no sig- nificance is attached there to the en- trance of George D. Widener and George W. Elkins into the Board when opportunity oflfered. "Other corroboration of the alleged strained relations between the Ryan- Widener-Elkins interests and the Duke interests was sought to be shown in the retirement on January i last, pub- lished at the time, of John B. Cobb from the presidency of the American Cigar Company and the approaching retirement of his brother, Henry W. Cobb, as vice president. John B. Cobb said last night that he had resigned be- cause of a desire to obtain leisure and for no other reason. He is still a di- rector of the American Tobacco Com- pany. Henry W. Cobb leaves the American Cigar Company to become president of a subsidiary company in New Orleans." « 4< ♦ L.icen8e Bill Contildercd. The New York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, at a meeting held last week, took up the matter of the Yale License bill, which is now before the State Legislature. It was decided to oppose the measure as being an outrageous act. The most flagrant fault found, so far as the leaf trade is concerned, lies in the fact that under its provisions it might be possible that leaf tobacco dealers would be taxed as retailers for sending out sample pounds of imported tobacco which, duty and all considered, is too costly to be given gratis. If such an interpretation was ever made, it would bring about a serious hardship to importing houses sending ■ out samples of Sumatra, etc. A com- mittee was named consisting of Joseph Cullman, Sr., James Ertheiler and Marco Flieschman, who were given full power to act in this matter for the local Board, and it can be depended upon that nothing will be left undone by this committee to carry the work to a suc- cessful conclusion. ♦ >•< ♦ Another Liuiildullon. Within a month or little more, sev- eral local houses have entered into a liquidation of their affairs. Recently Joseph Abrahams, a leaf dealer and manufacturer of cigars at Maiden Lane and Pearl street, effected a settlement with his creditors. Mr. Abrahams has been suffering from a stroke of apoplexy, but the business is being conducted by his wife, who has also indorsed on the settlement effected. ♦ * » Anil & Co. Get New Factory. Louis Ash & Co., one of the oldest cigar firms in this city, have secured % factory building at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., which, after being thoroughly re- modeled, will be used by them for cigar manufacturing purposes, and several hundred hands will no doubt be em- ployed at that branch. The building is known as the old PeJton factory, on lower Mill street. Several families from New York will remove to Poughkeep- sie to make their permanent home. This selection for an additional factory was made at the instance of the Poughkeep- sie Chamber of Commerce. * * * • ■ .. Trade Notes. Theodore Perez & Co., a new Havana house, have opened headquarters at 212 Pearl street, where Mr. S. J. Janover, formerly a member of the Erlich Mfg. Co., will be in charge. Mr. Perez, the other member of the firm, will devote much of his time to .the firni's affairs in Havana. " ^;. Robert Starr, leaf tobacco dealer, has removed from 97 Water street to 242 Pearl street. E. I. Alexander, of Jos. S. Gans & Co., is this week on a visit to their packing houses in Pennsylvania. A. W. Gieske, of the BahimOre leaf firm of Gieske & Neimah, was a recent visitor in this city. Joseph Goldberg, of the leaf tobacco packing firm of Kramer & Goldberg, sailed for Europe last week on a vaca- tion such as he has not taken in a num- ber of years. THE CHRONICLES OF BEN ALL tured at the Mentor Co.'s factory under the supervision of Mr. Khoury, who did the blending for the Mentor Co.'s brands. The Menashi-Khoury Co. has just broken away from the Mentor Co. and has reopened its old factory on At- lantic avenue. Arrangements have been made for the purchase of two cigarette- making machines of the most modern type, and these machines will be installed in the factory by the first of May, and •the Menashi-Khoury Co. will be in a far better position than ever to cater to the c'garette-loving people of New Eng- land. ■* ~ Bro. Will'ams, the general sales agent for the Menashi cigarette, is an old- timer with plenty of experience, and at present he has this brand placed on sale at all our leading cigar stands, and es- pecially at our finest hostelries the Men- ashi has a host of admirers. Although the name of Goodwin Sis- ters is still above the door at the Scol- lay Square Subway station cigar store, these two girls, who at one time were very prominent in the retail cigar busi- ness here, are no longer in business. A Mr. Hinkley, who held a mortgage on the place foreclosed same last week and is now the owner. It is said that the liabilities of the Goodwin S'sters run to about $5,000; a local wholesale tobac- conist being a creditor to the amount of $1,000. Chas. Bernhardt (Shinasi Bros.), who recently suffered an attack of appendici- tis, has left for his home in New York. Chas. W. Gilchrist is now covering th's territory doing missionary work on Nat- urals, Prettiest and Royals. H. F. Goldstein, representing Joseph- son Bros., New York, makers of the Grand Vizier and other brands of clear Havana cigars, called on the Boston trade this week. E. J. Mulligan, formerly with the Menashi-Khoury Co., is now doing the window dressing work here for the fa- mous Melachrino cigarettes. S. H. Kitsas (Khedivial Co.) is now in charge of the smoking tobacco depart- ment. Mr. Kitsas expects to make a good showing with Walker's Durham — a i-ounce package of granulated tobacco. Al. Bloom (Butler-Butler Co.) is su- perintending the putting up of many Pall Mall s'gns around town. William Corson, a prominent Chelsea tobacconist who was burned out in the big fire of last year, has just reopened one of the finest cigar; and tobacco stores in Chelsea. The fixtures are all of mission wood, and everything in the store is up-to-date. Charlie Bryant has resigned his posi- tion with the Khedivial Co. and accepted a position with the Waitt & Bond Co., the large local cigar manufacturers, to represent the concern in Vermont and New Hampshire. Mr. Salomon, of Salomon Bros. & Stern, New York, makers of clear Hav- ana cigars, is at present calling on the local trade. His leading brand, Alphon- so, is a high quality cigar and he has secured many trial orders from our re- tailers. W. O. Hewlett, representing the An- glo-American Pipe Co., was here last week taking orders for a line of fancy clay pipes. Geo. Kraus (F. Villar & Co.), was in town calling on the trade and took a number of nice sized orders for his brands of Porto Rico cigars. Jack Dubrenil has now complete sluded on p. 13. Boston Retailers Brightening and Over- hauling their Establishments for the Glad Spring Festival. Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. Boston, April 5. April fool's day has come and gone. The trick cigar was very much in evi- dence on that day. The approach of Easter is being celebrated by many of our retailers who have given their estab- lishments a thorough overhauling. In many instances new store fixtures have been installed, and window fronts re- arranged so as to show up goods more attractively. The American Tobacco Co. is now packing certificates in each cartoon of their cigarettes, which really reduces the price per M. to the retailer. A new package of sl'ced plug called Derby is now being introduced to the trade by the American. The package is made of aluminum, and with each purchase of 2J2 lbs. of Derby tobacco the retailer re- ceives four packages of the loc size of Old English tobacco gratis. Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, the Menashi-Khoury Co., mak- ers of the Menashi cigarettes, are in business to stay.

Manufacturers, while working, say there is no life in the busi- ness, and some of them can see little brightness ahead. Comparatively few traveling men have been in town lately. A change has occurred in the cigar manufacturing firm of John G. Sp atz & Co., Mr. Simon Salz retiring from the firm, but Mr. Spatz is continuing the business as heretofore. Considerable of a flurry was created here a few days ago when it was an- nounced that the United C'gar Stores Co. had secured a site in Reading. In fact, a few of the retailers became rather alarmed. The writer has made a per- sonal investigation and finds that over- tures have been made toward acquiring the lease of a store room on Penn street, but nothing definite has yet been done. It seems that if a tenant can be found to take half of the space, the deal will go through, but if not, it may be passed by, at least for the present. Paul Yocum, a son of the late James Yocum, who was a member of the cigar firm of Yocum Bros., has purchased from E. G. Readinger the cigar factory and store on North Sixth street hereto- fore conducted by Mr. Readinger. M. Steppacher, the well-known manu- facturer, is spending a few days this week among his customers. John G. Neithammer has succeeded to the sole proprietorship of the N. & N. Cigar Co. A new factory has been open- ed at 37 N. 7th street, but the office will be continued as heretofore at 17 N. 8th street. H. G. Burky, maker of union-made cigars, is devoting great energy to his Lord Ormont loc cigar and to the Royal Judge, a nickel product. T. R. Wheeler, with S. Rossin & Sons, New York ; Meyer Sachs, representing A. F. Rico & Co., Boston, importers of Havana tobacco, and Barney Livingston, leaf salesman from New York, are among the week's visitors. LEAF TOBACCO FROM IOWA. Managing Corporation Purposes Plant- ing 100 Acres This Year. Janesville, Wis., April 3. Samples of tobacco grown near Sauk City, Iowa, from seed furnished by Janesville dealers have arrived in town and, although not up to the standard set by Wisconsin growers, promise to improve steadily in quality as the Iowa growers learn more about the peculiar needs of the plant and select the proper kind of soil. The samples show that the leaves, while not long, are very spready and burn well. Judg- ing from the samples, the leaf will be more of a filler than binder, but should the ground be changed, the leaf would in all probability equal the Wisconsin product. Crawford county is men- tioned as being in the right locality for raising tobacco. The corporation which is managing the growing in that State planted fifty acres last year and, al- though the prospects for selling last season's crop are not bright, they in- tend to plant a hundred acres this year. >t.

The conditions of the tobacco trade do :iot seem to ind cate that there is great ic.ivity, and yet the internal revenue re- ceipts for the month of March show a gain both as regards the comparison with the month of February and with the cor- responding month of last year. For the month of March the sale of Jgar s amps in this division of the Ninth Dis.ritt amounted to $74,000. Th'.s is $-1,000 more than that of February and $3,000 more than March, 1908. In number the figures represent an out- put as follows: March. igo8 23,667.000 Fel)"uary. igcg 23.334,000 March. 190Q 24,667,000 During the past month licenses were granted for the opening of ten cigar fac- tories and one cigarette manufactory. According to the bonds filed the licen- sees will employ 48 hands. During March, igoi^. eight factories, giving em- ploymert to 65 persons, were licensed. The new license holders, the location of their factories and the number of per- sons in each are as follows : Climax Cigar Company, York, five hands; II inkle & Sprenkle, Wrights- ville, four hands ; Edward W. Kress, Hanover, five hands; Daniel F. Tyson, I Red Lion, R. F. D. Xo. i, three hands; Young & I'usser, York, two hands ; F. V. Topper & Company, Mc Sherry s- town, ten hands ; Minnie A.

Warner, Felton, two hands. Thieves entered the cigar store of J. C. Myers, corner of King and Sherman streets, some nights ago, and stole cigars, tobacco and other articles valued at about $10, after which they made their escape. It is believed that the burglary was committed between the hours of 2 and 4 in the morning, and that entry was obained by a key. No damage was done about the store and the theft was not noticed until nearly noon. This was the second visit of burglars to the store within a short time. On the I other occasion Mr. Myers heard a noise and his investigation scared the intruders away. Gus Beck, of Warren Beck & Bro., last week made a visit to Philadelphia and New York. It is reported that he booked some nice sized orders for his firm's product. There are varying conditions among the cigar manufacturers throughout the county. Some have been increasing their forces of cigarmakers, and others have closed down their factories, wh'ch will not be again open for work until after Easter. There have been a large number of visiting leaf men in this section lately, bu: they all complain of having done only a small business, if any. Manufac- turers apparently are not inclined to buy much leaf at present. Everything considered, the manufac- turers at Red Lion seem to be doing fairly well at present. W. M. Gemmill & Co., T. E. Brooks & Co., and Wolf Bros. & Ziegler have lately added more help to their forces. W. A. Lahr, of Red Lion, has recently been visiting the trade in New York. The new drying kiln of Miller Bros., manufacturers of cigar boxes and lum- ber, has been completed. Quite a few factories at Dallastown, Yoe and Windsor have been temporarily closed, owing to dull business. A. D. Hoover, cigar manufacturer, ft)rmerly located at Star View, has re- moved to Mt. Wolf. CONSULAR REPORTS. TOBACCO IN FRANCE. Special Purchasing Agents Visit Amer- ica.—Reduced Shipments. With reference to the purchase of tobacco by the French Government, Consul General Frank H. Mason writes from Paris: The tobacco imported into France is purchased by special expert agents of the Regie, or that bureau of the Government that has charge of the importation, manufacture and sale of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, etc., and which is a strictly enforced Govern- ment monopoly. The special expert agents go to America and other to- bacco-producing countries from time to time, according to the needs of the Regie here and the state of the raw ttjbacco markets abroad. Those who go to the United States make their headquarters at the French Consulate- General in New York, and American traders who have American tobacco to oflfer can get into touch with them there; or, if none are present at any given date, can ascertain when they may be expected to arrive. Sometimes, as I am informed, a French Govern- ment buyer will go to Kentucky or other tobacco State during the season to examine the crop, but usually pur- chases are made, so far as I can as- certain, from samples presented by THE TOBACCO WORLD Telephone Call, 432--B Sffice and Warehouse: FLORIN, PA.

To correct some niisunderstanding concerning the cost of labor in the cultivation of tobacco in Western Cuba, as given in his report published in the Daily Consular and Trade Reports for January 9, igoQ, Consul General Jas. L. Rodgers, of Havana, furnishes the following additional information: Apparently some extracts from my ])ublislied report have been given in tobacco trade papers, and the impreb- 'ion created that the cost of labor, as stated therein, means the total cost of raising tobacco. It was distinctly stated in the report in question that the total cost of tobacco as it entered into commerce was not communicated, and that the cost of labor represented (>nly an attempt at the average, it be- ing stated that in many cases it might go higher and in (Others lower. Believing that an erroneous idea may be gained therefrom, certain of the important tobacco growers in Western Cuba have stated to me that the total cost of raising open-air to- bacco in the Vuelta Abajo district of rinar del Rio province is approximate- ly 53 cents per pound, and in the Par- tido district of Havana province 85 cents. This means wrappers and fill- ers and includes the cost of packing. It is further stated that upon the most successful plantation in the Partido district the cost of shade-grown wrap- pers and lillers, including packing, is $1.25 per pound. These figures, how- ever, represent the cost of intensive culture, which is entirely beyond the means and aside frtim the custom of the average tobacco grower. The re- turn frotn this intensive cultivation, with its liberal expenditure of money, is proportionately large, and although no selling prices are communicated, it is known that such tobacco com- mands a high price and produces a fine profit. However, very few of the grow- ers in Cuba could afTord to spend such an amount upon their product, even if they attempted to produce the very finest grades. These facts are communicated sim- ply to correct the impression apparent- ly prevalent, but they do not repre- sent any amendment of the previous statements as to the cost of labor upon the average tobacco farm in the dis- tricts named. — The appointment of a receiver for the estate of William E. Brown, whole- sale toba.cco dealer, at 173 Randolph street, Chicago, has been asked in a bill filed in the Circuit Court last week by his two sisters, who aver that of late he has exhibited symptoins of de- mentia and is now in a sanitarium. His estate is valued at $50,000. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. If there was ever a dead subject to write about it must needs be tobacco, with Its movements the past wiiit«!r and spring, for if the news of a sale was reported the price was so low that one has been ashamed to make much mention of such a sale, let alone the pnltlishiiiK of an.v figures, and 1 do not know but what if the A. T. Co. had not been busy in i)icklng up the poor stuff, perhaps the growers would have beeu obliged to use the stuff for fertilizer in the end. But the rubbish has al)OUt all l)een cleaned up and the growers are well rid of it. Not so the consumer, for so far as I can see. the consumer will be com- pelled to use it up in some kind of cut to- bacco, for they never sell only at au ad- vance over tlie cost price. Well, those who use it have my sympathy. Saturday I was in Deerfield and witnessed a novel manner of moving l)undle to- bacco. Arthur Ball, who had not sold, shipied his crop to Hatfield by trolley, and when they got loaded there must have l»een as much as four good large wagon- loads. The second car was not loaded so heavily, probably about three wagonloads. Mr. Ball lives beside the liiu' of the electric road, and the shop at Ilattteld is situated in the same manner. I don't know the cost, but it v.ould have taken .seven teams nearly a day to have moved this crop of tobacco. One other grower at Deerfleld has just commenced to assort his crop, as he had lost all <'{)nfidence in selling in the bundle. lie had better have commenced to assort it earlier. I hear tliat L. F.

TOBACCO TROUBLES OVER. OPPOSE THE PAYNE BILL. Wants Free Admission for Philippine Sugar and Tobacco Only. Washington, Aptil 6. The House resounded to-day for the iirst time to the voice of a Filip no. Pal- mo Ocampo de Leon, resident commis- sioner from the is'and possession, sharp- ly criticised free trade between it and the United States on the ground that virtually the sole revenue of the island would be depleted and ultimately wiped •out and independence of the natives in- definitely postponed. He said : "Once foreign goods are driven from the Philippine markets the importer of American products would control the situation. The decrease of the customs revenues would inevitably compel the Philipp'ne Government to go into bank- ruptcy, because there are no other sources from which to obtain revenues and meet its financial obligations. "Viewing the question in its political aspect, is not there a danger that the future independence of the Filip'nos , would be hindered by the ties consequent upon the establishment of free trade? The trusts and other corporations that would establish themselves in the Phil ippines, encouraged by free trade, would place a formidable barrier against Fili- pino freedom. "The only reciprocity we ask is that our sugar and tobacco be admitted free of duty, and in exchange allow all agri- cultural machinery and implements of manufacture free admission into all parts of the Philippines." AID FOR TOBACCO GROWERS. Differences Adiusted After Long Meet- ing In Cincinnati. Cincinnati, O., April 7. At a meeting that convened before noon to-day and lasted till near mid- night, barring short recesses, indepen- dent manufacturers of tobacco adjusted differences that had sprung up between themselves and the Kentucky Burley as- sociation. Some matters still remain to be thrashed out and these w'll be taken up at a meeting to be held to-morrow. The meeting of independent manufac- turers was attended by twenty-two lead- ing manufacturers who met as individ- uals and was presided over by Hugh J. Campbell, of Richmond, Va., Louisville, St. Louis, Detroit, Memphis, New Or- leans and other cities being represented. LAW ON TOBACCO SALES GIVEN. Measures Proposed to Allow Free Sales of Product. Washington, April 6. Representatives Stanley, of Ken- 1 icky, and Hull, of Tennessee, have introduced bills permitting free and untaxed commerce in unstemmed t(^- bacco in the natural leaf. Stanley has another bill providing that growers shall have the right to sell "in the raw and unadulterated stage all tobacco of liieir own growing or cultivated upon their own lands, or to hand-stem or twist the same if manufactured in a form desired,' free from taxation. UNITEDCO. IN DES MOINES. Des Moines, April 2. Leasing from B. A. Younkcr for ten years the corner store room in the Good block, at Fifth and Walnut streets, the United Cigar Stores Company has in- vaded Des Moines. The room now is occupied by the Des Moines National Bank, which will remove May i to its new building. Improvements will be made at once and the store opened by June I, next. While the locations are not known, it is reported that the United Company, which is the largest cigar firm in the world, has secured options on leases for other store rooms. Minnesota Statule Quoted in Regard to Use by Minors. Minneapolis, Minn., April 6. In answer to the general demand as a result of recent tobacco selling arrests in Minneapolis, the Minnesota law in regard to the use of tobacco by minors is given : Every person under the age of 18 years, and every minor pupil in any school, college or university, who shall smoke or use cigarettes, cigars or tobac- co in any form on any pubic road, street alley, park or any other land used for public purposes or in any public place of business, shall be guilty of a misdemean- or, punished for each offense by a fine of not more than $10, or by imprison- ment in the county jail for not more than five days ; and any person who shall furnish any cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any form to any such minor person or who shall permit any such minor person to frequent any premises owned, held or managed by him, for the purpose of in- dulging in the use of cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any form, shall be guilty of misdemeanor and punished by a fine of not more than $50, or by imprison- ment in the county jail not exceeding 30 days for each offense. CIGARETTES CAUSE ARREST. Marinette, Wis., April 6. Charged with selling cigarettes to minors, James J. Schleihs, Louis Cohan, and John Demas are under arrest. The arrests follow the confession of a num- ber of boys charged with breaking into vacant houses. —The tobacco factory of C. C. Bull & Son, at Springfield, Tenn., was burn- ed on March 30. It was filled with to- bacco belonging to the Imperial To- bacco Co., and the loss on building and contents will reach $100,000. The cause of the fire is unknown. Milwaukee Firms Take a Hand in Fight- ing Duty on Labels, etc. Milwaukee, Wis., April 8. The C. B. Henschel Manufacturing Co. and the Louis Kindling Co., Mil- waukee, are interested in the fight to retain the present tariff schedule on ci- gar labels, flags, etc. While there is said to be a tendency on the part of the ways and means com- mittee to prohibit a debate on these schedules in the Payne tariff bill, Mil- waukee manufacturers hope to get a hearing through the influence of Wis- consin congressmen and senators. "The present duty on embossed gold leaf labels, mos::ly made in Germany, and which cannot be purchased in this coun- try, is 50 cents per thousand," sa'd W. P. Held, Henschel Manufacturing Co., Tuesday. "We believe this duty should be retained, as it is high enough to protect Amer'can manufacturers and low enough to make the labels within reach of those who import them. The Payne bill proposes to raise the du.y to 70 or 75 cents a thousand. This will make the importation of th's class of labels prohibitive." CIGAR STORE PLUNDERED. Duluth Establishment Despoiled of $350 Worth of Goods. Duluth, Minn, April 7. Karly yesterday morning thieves en- tered the cigar store and factory of S. N. Claveaux & Co.. through an alley door and made away wi :h about $350 worth of cigars and pipes. Amateurs, from all appearances, the robbers were nevertheless able to com- plete the job and get away with the booty before they were detected, and from the amount of goods taken it is supposed there must have been at least three men involved. The store of Claveaux & Co. is at 325 West First street, and the proprietor of the place was there until lale into the night. It is thought that the men had been watching the surroundings and when the proprietor left they made im- mediate preparations to do the job. Through the door in the alley they made their way in to the stock and sales room, where they stole about 1500 ci- gars. When they had secured all the cigars, they gathered up about 140 pipes valued at nearly $100 and left. No trace has since been found of the robbers. NEW STOGIE CO. ORGANIZED. New Martinsville, W. Va., to Have a New Enterprise. New Martinsville, W. Va., April 8. The West Virginia Stogie Company has been organized in the city, compos- ed of the following local people: A. J. Ferrell, John Loehr, J. A. Potts, John Stamm, Jr., I. D. Morgan, G. F. Probst, G. B. Potts, Dr. J. R. Sole, L. W. Dulaney, B. F. Hill, M. U. Mur- ray and Charles S. Farmer. The com- pany will engage in the manufacture of stogies and will give employment to about fifty hands at the start. The new company has leased the Wells building on South Main street and will commence the manufacture of stogies just as soon as the charter arrives and a few other preliminary matters are arranged. The company has or- ganized by electing A. J. Farrell, pres- ident; L. W. Dulaney, secretary, and Charles S. Farmer, treasurer. The New Martinsville Grocery Com- pany will handle the product of the factory, which insures a ready sale of all stogies that they can manufacture. NO "APRIL FOOL" JOKE IN THIS. Members of Once Bankrupt Tobacco Firm Pay Outstanding Accounts in Full. A New York daily paper a few days ago published the following readable story of the commenable action of a former firm of leaf tobacco dealers: The wholesale tobacco trade of this city will welcome this day of rest. It will give time to recover fully from an "April fool" joke that has been the chief topic of discussion in the lower Pearl street and Maiden lane offices and warehouses of the dealers and im- porters. The joke was of the most unusual as well as of the most practi- cal sort. It was of a kind that gave support to the efforts of a newly or- ganized club U) change "All Fools' Day" to Optimists' Day," for the joke brought $55,000 most unexpectedly to a few tobacco men. The perpetrat(jrs of the joke were Joseph and David Steindler, who un- der the firm name of Steindler Broth- ers were for many years in the leaf to- bacco business at No. 173 Pearl street. About four years ago the firm had difficulty in the collection of outstand- ing accounts in Canada, and failed. The brothers were popular in the trade, and the failure was generally deplored. It was a source of great satisfaction to their friends when they settled with their creditors for 50 cents on the dol- lar, which, so far as such compromises go, was considered unusually good. They then left New York. In the tur- moil of that busy section of town where the Steindler brothers had been potent factors they were soon forgotten. A few days ago Joseph Steindler and David Steindler returned unexpectedly to the district. Then an unprecedent- ed thing happened in the tobacco trade. The brothers, who are respect- ivly about 55 and for 49 years old, visited their creditors, asked for state- ments of their accounts, and on the spot drew checks in full. Without any legal obligation to do so, the Steind- lers paid all outstanding indebtedness, E. A. Calves & Co.HaVANA, 123 North Third street IMPORTERS of PHILADELPHIA E. A. Calves & Co.

Exporters to Germany Were Buyers of Low Grade Remedios, Helping to Clear Market of that Stock. Few Receipts Expected Until New Crop ist Ready. Dock Fire with Great Loss of Life and Property. The Successful Result of Thirteen Years of Effort. Special Correspondence of The Tobacco World. Business during the past eight days has again been dull, as only one leaf buyer from the United States has ar- rived. On the other hand, the German exporters have been purchasing heav- ily of low grades of Remedios and some Vuelto Abajo, and this helped to diminish the stocks of those kinds. Very likely for the next two months there will be no new arrivals in our market, or at least until the time when the new crop shall appear. At the moment the country is sufTer- ing from a prolonged spell of drought and the farmers are anxiously await- ing the coming wet season, which will enable them to take down their dried "cujes" of tobacco leaves, bundle them, throw them in piles, and then later on start up the active packing season. The wet season of the year varies from the middle of April to the end of May, and in exceptional years farmers have been obliged to wait even as late as the beginning of June. Don Luis Marx, who is generally the first planter to set out his seedlings, is also, as a rule, the first one to com- mence his packing operations here in the city of Havana, and this had hap- pened again this year, as he has com- menced his escojida in his especially adapted building at 75 Zanja street. A visit to this establishment by your cor- respondent will be described in another part of this letter. during the past week totaled 3075 bales, divided as follows: 750 Vuelta Abajo, 100 Partido and 2225 bales of Remedios.

HAVANA CIGAR MANUFACTURERS are fairly busy, particularly the large ct)ncerns which are receiving constant orders, while the smaller factories do not seem to share to the same extent in the betterment of business, and probably their time will not come until later on in the summer and early fall of this year. H. Upmann & Co. exported 450,000 cigars during the past week. The H. Upmann factory is kept busy and well supplied with orders through the ac- tivity and zeal displayed by its repre- sentative, Charles Landau, so far as the United States and Canada are con- cerned, while orders from Europe and South America are coming in upon the usual scale. Sol has notified the National Cuba Company that its contract having ex- pired, the same will not be continued in future, and that Bchrens & Co. have appointed a special representative, who will travel in the United States and Canada exclusively in the intrest of the Sol factory.

The Henry Clay & Bock & Co., Ltd., has increased its output to 375,- ooo cigars per day, and there has been a remarkable improvement in the workmanship on its cigars since Don Gustavo Bock has had the sole man- agement of this concern. The colors are light, the texture of the wrapper of the finest, and the burn is perfect. Don Gustavo supervises the selection of each bale of wrappers and no sac- rifices are spared in order to rehabili- tate the former renown which the ci- gars of this concern justly enjoyed. BUYING, SELLING AND OTHKR NOTES OF INTEREST. Sobrinos de A. Gonzales sold 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo during the past week. Fred J. Davis was the largest buyer in our market, as his purchases must have aggregated over 500 bales of choice leaf. Sylvester & Stern were sellers of 300 bales of Remedios from their se- lect holdings. M. A. La Boulc made some excel- lent purchases of the finest vegas which could be found in our market. Suarez Hnos. disposed of 150 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Heinrich Neuberger exported 912 /)ales of leaf tobacco to Bremen last ♦veek. A. M. Calzada & Co. closed out 150 bales of Remedios and Partido from their stocks, and Don Antonio, after ihese transactions were made, left for a trip of inspection of the new crop in Santa Clara province. Manuel Menendez Parra sold 575 t^ales of Remedios tobacco during the past eight days. The big fire last week at the large iron shed and dt)ck of the Havana Cen- tral Railroad cast a gloom over the city of Havana, as it involved not only the destruction of this property, but also the total loss of the German steamer Altemburg, which was moored alongside and nearly ready to sail, and several schooners and barges and near« \y a score of human beings were roast' €d alive or asphyxiated by the dense volumes of smoke. Owing to the large quantities of alcohol, oils and grease, the fire spread so rapidly that the steamer had no chance to use its en- gines and break the iron fastenings to the dock, and in this manner the loss of lives occurred. There was a strong wind blowing from the south, and in a few seconds the steamer was enveloped in flames and the dense smoke on the waters ol the bay prevented the swim- ming seamen from finding the shore, as some corpses were found in the middle of the bay. Your correspondent, by invitation ot Don Luis Marx, had a chance to see this year's packing of Partido tobacco at 75 Zaifja street, and already be- tween 50 and 100 bales have been made. This is the most perfect crop which Dtm Luis has ever raised, so far as colors, texture, beautiful grain of leaf, quality and perfect burn is ccuicern- cd. Any judge of leaf tobacco, if shown these leaves, would be mystified and could not distinguish the shade- grown from the sun-grown tobacco, as, after many years of labor and scien- tific experiment, Don Luis has man- aged to raise a closs of leaf under cheese-cloth which has all the good qualities of the tobacco grown in the open fields, and now is superior in ev- ery respect, as the leaves are perfect and have none of the faults of the lat- ter. When Don Luis Marx purchased his present farms, Zorilla and San An- t(jnio, the land was exhausted and al- most worthless, but, by enriching the soil with the right class of manure, he has managed to make his property the model tobacco farm of Cuba. He ■;ank a fortune in the soil at first, but after thirteen years of patience he has friumphed and demonstrated to our farmers what perseverance and science can do in raising tobacco in Cuba.

Nairobi, East Africa. — Anticipating the arrival of ex-President Roosevelt and his party, a new code for hunting and trailing is promulgated as follows: The traveler, the explorer, or corres- pondent will do well to bear in mind certain well known characteristics of the Faunal Naturalists, of which, on the whole continent of Africa, there is only one group. If, in breaking one's way through the thorn-bush, one finds an empty Bull Durham pouch, it is a sure sign that a certain eminent Faunal Naturalist has been that way. Moreover, it is a sign that he has entertained the native chiefs and wise men, for the Colonel himself does not smoke. In making one's way across the lonely veldt, if one finds, bes'de a recent camp- fire, the countenance of a dog, on a to- bacco pouch (empty), this too is to be considered a sign that the Colonel has passed that way — but it indicates that, instead of Bull Durham, he has decided to oflFer his guests "Dog's Head." The finding of an empty can, marked "Tortoise Shell Mixture," is to be re- garded as an infallible sign that Secre- tary Kermit Roosevelt has passed that way. The presence of the secretary, as is well known, indicates the close prox- imity of Colonel Roosevelt himself. It is not absolutely necessary, how- ever, to depend on mere keenness of eye- sight. A hunter with a delicate, well trained sense of smell — so well trained that he can recognize the delicate frag- rance of Cameron pocket slice will know at once what that sign indicates. The in- stant that fairy fragrance is wafted to his senses, the well informed trailer will know that, somewhere up the wind is Secretary Kermit — and somewhere near Secretary Kermit is hunter Roosevelt. Secretary Kermit, in fact, is about the best equipped smoker in East Africa. Hunter Roosevelt does not smoke at all. But Son Kermit has been a smoker for the last five years, and the Colonel's watchful eye sees no harmful effects from it. CASLC AeeNKS»', E. A.

The new location will afford increased facili- ties, which will nearly double the ca- pacity of their present factory. The buildings have been long used as a cigar manufacturing establishment, be- ing originally the factory of Powell. Smith & Co. and later of A. G.

Judge Holt, of the United States Dis- trict Court, has dismissed the petition in bankruptcy filed on October 23 against H. E. Walters & Co., cigar manufacturers, 1205 Second avenue, and York, Pa., and on March 11 against the Premier Cigar Co., of 1293 Second avenue, and York, Pa., which was own- ed by H. E. Walter & Co., on a settle- ment with creditors. A charter has been granted to H. E. Walter & Co. to manufacture and •deal in cigars. The capital is $50000, and the incorporators were H. E. Wal- ter, E. Ascher, E. Rich, New York city. * * * Tariff Bill Grievance. The New York trade has lately been quite active in protesting against the proposed Philippine provisions of th^' new tariff measure. In discussing the matter, Mr. J. F. Cullman, of 175 Water street, said that it was the opinion of the trade here that only large interests would profit through the proposed tariff action, as they would be able to control large available lots and also to monopolize steamship room. Another point made by Mr. Cullman was that it would be possible to smuggle Sumatra and other fine wrapper tobacco from the Dutch East Indies into the Philippines and send them into the United States as Philippine product. "The Philippine cigars and tobacco already enjoy excellent markets in China and Japan, Spain, France and Germany," continued Mr. Cullman, "but I doubt if Filipinos actually would realize any profit from the proposed free admission of 150,000,000 cigars into the United States. Let the Govern- ment reduce the excessive duty on Su- matra tobacco, which has done more than anything to concentrate the cigar industry of this country in the hands oi a Trust." ♦ ♦ ♦ Fonrth Snmatra Inscription. The fourth inscription of Sumatra to- . bacco was held at Amsterdam on Thursday last and about 2300 bales were purchased for the American niar- "ket. The principal buyers were A. Cohn & Co., 720 bales; American Cigar Co., 400 bales; W. K. Grcsh & Sons, Norristown, Pa., 300 bales; S. Rossin & Sons, 200 bales; G. Falk & Bro., 175 bales; Joseph Hirsch & Son, 150 bales, and Haas Bros., Cincinnati, O., 100 bales. Prices are again ranging very high. SaeMsklnd-Sphatc Vo. Affalm. A petition in bankruptcy has been tiled against the Suesskind-Schatz Co., manufacturers of cigars, at No. 142 East Fifty-ninth street, for Elias Bach & oon, $235; H. Duys & Co., $1163, and the Friend Havana Tobacco Co., $316. Preferential payments is alleged as an act of bankruptcy. The Suess- kind-Schatz Co. was incorporated un- der New York State laws in March, 1905, with a capital stock of $20,000. Francis H. Griffin was appointed re- ceiver by Judge Hough, and he was authorized to continue the business for live days. The assets are estimated at $2000. * * * The HuuHe u£ DuyM.

The line has already attract- ed a great deal of attention, and, in fact, a few of the marks have been al- ready so largely selected from that the purchases are being materially reduced. Reasonable prices are held out to all their customers, and the colors are running beautifully. Samples will also be submitted by request to the house. Samples of some of their latest pur- chases have just reached the New York oflfice. * * * Trade TVotes.

Rental so low it practically wipes out the labor cost of banding. By using this machine you can afford to band every cigar you make. Delayed shipments are often caused by slow work in banding. Delayed shipments mean that some one else's goods are being sold in place of yours. One telegram explaining a delayed shipment often costs more than the price of the machine for one day. AdvnntaKen of Bandlns* Every cigar you make should be band- ed if you want it to look at its best. Bandmg cigars prevents the sale (»{ any goods but your own out of YOUR box. .Any dealer can easily sell an inferior brand out of your box if you don't band your goods. The greater the demand for your brand, the more reason why you should protect not only the brand, b^t the smoker also, as he creates the demand for your brand. Goods well presented are one-hall sold. Bands will do this for you. Remember banding protects your standard brands and helps sell all brands. with this machine you can afford to band even the cheapest cigars. It will save you many times its cost in actual expenses of banding. You cannot afTord to be without it. Any further information that may ■WISCONSIN. Kdgerton. Wis.. April 9, 1900.— The dull- ness in the market still continues and is liaide to remain so for some time to come. Not only is the Imylng nearly closed for the season. I»ut the movement in old goods is at a standstill. Manufacturers and job- bers are calling for but little of the cured goods as yet. It is currently reported that .Tohn Soulnian. of .Tancsville. has sold about 7AH) cases <»f '(M» and "07. and one or two small deals are about reaidy to be closed In this city. Warehouse hanSlling is nearing the end. as next week will see some of the largest houses closed for tlie season. The warm spell the past few days in- duced a few growers to prepare the beds, but the wiser ones will wait for settled weather.

Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. Boston, April 12. Numerous Baser displays were in ev- iderce all week. The American Tobac- co Co. had a number of Helmar cig- arette displays around town. Kid Nich- ols had Window Dresser Battle busy all week making attractive displays. Among the best I've seen in some time are the displays of Philip Morris cigarettes to be seen this week at Pillsbury & Co.'s on Boy'ston s.reet, and the one at Klein's Washirgton street store. The American T( bacco Co. is pack- ing certiticates in each carton of their cigarettes. Two certificates from any :»f the Turkish goods with one from any of the 5c. goods are redeemable by the company for .^5 cents in cash. Uni.ed States revenue officers have been vis'tirg mar.y of our cigar stores of late lookirg for violations of the law. and in many cases the storekeepers have been iired. Storekeepers would do well to see that the b;)x covers of cigars 'n\ their c'.ses are properly attached to the original box. a'so tha: their plug tobac- cos .'tre in the right boxes. Many of our shopkeepers in South Boston were arrested last, week for sell- irg cigarettes ard tobaccos to minors. In each case a tine was imposed on the of- fender. Goldsmth. Silver & Co. are doing con- siderable advertising here on their M. C. A. IOC. cigar. Jack Warsaw, the comedian salesman of the Khedivial Co. reports having had a good week's business on Oxfords pack- ed in he new style tin packages. There is no more clever salesman here than Jack, who sometimes has to resort to doing a song and dance or springing some kind of new joke n order to land an order. However, he is always on the job. Vou can't do me ncxldings. 1 said "Sense me." Charlie Winterberg, of .\. Montcvierno & Co.. maiuifacturers of the wel'-known El Rayo clear Havana cigar, spent sev- eral days this week calling on The Hub trade. Benny Silvcrstein, formerly owner of a cigar stand on Adams sciuare. has just purchased the new cigar store recently opened at ■^y North street in the market district. Mr. Silversten knows the cigar business from A to Z, and no doubt will soon give a good account of himself. Charlie Bernhardt (Shinasi Bros.) has returned from New York, having recovered from his recent illness. On his way here Charlie stopped oflf at Si)ringtield and made a very attractive vvimlow display at Barnett & Co.'s store there. In fact, the display was such a clever one that Charlie took several photos of it, which he shows with pride to many of his Boston friends. C. R. Lovell. of the C. R. Lovell Cigar Co., New York, was here this week call- ing on his many friends in the trade with an up-to-date line of c gars, and reports having done a satisfactory business. A. Leroy Myers, the Boston represent- ative of the popular Melachrino cigar- ette, has removed his office from 31 Cen- tral square to 28 School street. Mr. My- ers, since he took hold of this account, has made a very good showing in the Eastern market. The Melachrino brand is well p'aced and duplicating nicely. 1. Dane, the Boston wholesaler, was in New York for a few days th s week. Many alterations are taking place at Alfowich Bros.'. 212 Hanover street. A complete new show front is being put iti, and when same is ready this store will be one of the finest on Hanover street, and will be better known as "The big store with the little proprietors." H. Y. Folette & Co., State street cigar- ists, are meet ng with much success with the E. G. Perez & Co. line of genuine Porto Rican cigars. Folette & Co. are the distributers here of the Dianita and La Solera brands. I. Teitelbaum, of the E. Trenhaft Ci- gar Co., Cleveland, O., was here last Monday calling on a few of our large jobbing houses with a nice line of union made cigars. His leading brand, Tell- ing, is a big seller all through the West- ern country. A new business partnership has been formed between Albert Rollman, who has been in the employ of Louis Jesel- sohn for several years, and Simon Na- than, who at present cc:)nducts a cigar store at 55 Court street. The new firm has rented the store at 493 Tremont street and will conduct a wholesale and retail business at this address under the title Liberty Tobacco Co. Mr. Rollman is a young, progressive fellow who has made many friends in the trade, and they all wish him the best of luck in his latest undertaking. R. D. Carnes. the genial Eastern rep- resentative of the Ware-Kramer Tobac- co Co., has just returned from a very successful trip in Western Massachu- setts. The Lynnhaven cigarette is gain- ing much headway here, irrespective of the many deals put on similar brands made by other manufacturers. Julius O. Cohen, proprietor of the Bowdoin Square Cigar Emporium, re- ports that the March business at his store was more than anticipated. In fact, trade is coming along nicely for Julius, who, reports state, is about to kidnap a lady bookkeeper from one of our wholesale tobacco stores and whom he intends to use as side partner during the balance of his life. Sam Marcuson (Turco Am. Tob. Co.) has returned from his trip through York State. Mr. Marcuson will spend the next few weeks around Boston doing some tall hustling with his Astron, a 15c. package of high grade cigarettes made up in gold, plain straw and cork tip. Ben Ali. Villa & Alvcrez Cigar Co. will en- gage in the manufacture of cigars here. THE TOBACCO WORLD ^»B Telephone Call, 432— B Mice and Warehouse: FLORIN, FA. Located on Main Line of Pennsylvania R. R. E.

Inquiring as to the Location of Stociis, But Not Anxious Enough to Buy Much When Stscks are Produced. Larcaster, Pa., April 12. riie on'y noticeable increase in the leaf tobacco trade of this city durng the past week was in ir.quiries received. These would seem to indicate that the trade is gettirg somewhat anxious about the supply of raw material, but yet they seem to also hesita.e about laying in ad- ditional stocks at present. Ths is prob- ably due, in a large measure, to the un- certainty of the final result of tariff re- vision. As a rej^ult of the lethargic corf- dition the sales for the past week have been exceptionally small and also few in r.umber. It was poir.ted out in this correspond- ence a short time ago that it was quite 1 kely that the cigar output for the month of March would probably prove some- what of a surpri.se, and so it happens to be. The figures given out by the Col- lector of Internal Revc-jnie. show that there was a very wholesome gain during the month of March, both in comparison wi.h the previous month as well as with the month of March a year ago. The output of cigars during the month of March in this district amounted to 58,196,200. During the month of Feb- ruary the output was 52,433,300. This was a ga n of 5,763,000. The comparison of the output of March, 1908, and March, 1909, shows a gain of 5.935.9CO. As was intimated might be the case the figures proved to be an agreeable surprise to the entire trade, for during the major portion of the inoiiih there seemed to be exceeding dullness, and it is very evident that the manufacturers in this immediate v.cinity aid not contribute very materially to the increase, but mat it was really the pro- duction trom other sections that made the comparatively good showing. JSpeakug ot tne uncertainty ot the re- sult ot the taritf revision provisions a^ they ma> be lu.a.ly passed, reminds us that there was considerable agitation lately with the then proposed provisions, and now all those aspects have been again changed, by the imposition of a duty of 70 cents a pound on filler tobac- co and the old duty on wrapper leaf, and yet the original provisions of the entry of certa.n quantities of Philippine to- bacco free, as well as certain quantities of cigars, remains unchanged. Farmers are making preparations for the 1909 season of tobacco culture. If the weafher conditions prove favorable there is likely to be an early planting season this year, and it is altogether likely ihat the acreage will be somewhat greater than it was in 1908, if the aver- age price received during the past year or two is any inducement at all. The packing of the 1908 crops has progressed very well, and the major por- rA.HUSSEvl LEAF MOJO CO.

A rcpresen:at've of the leaf tobacco packing hrm of Way & Brand, of El- niira, X. Y. has been in this city recently looking after certain interests of the firm in which they have become interest- ed here. Chas. W. Salomon, of the De Florida Tobacco Co.. New York, and Barney Livingston, a Xew York salesman, were visitors here last week. John Hart & Co., proprietors of the cigar sland at the corner X. Queen and Chestnut s:rcets, have lately enlarged their manul'acturing capacity by securing larger quarters on West Chestnut street, and have also increased their force of cigarmakcrs very considerably. Their product seems to b? meeting wi^h favor locally and out of town. The demand has really grown at such a rate that their former facilities had become en- tirely inadequate. Several of the salesmen of the A. B. Hess Cigar Co. have lately been send- ing in some good-sized orders, and the factory has a: present encouraging pros- pects. A few c gar vending machines of a new pattern are now located in this city. Each machine contains two boxes each of live aid two each of ten cent goods. Of the live-cent cigars in the machine which the writer noticed the "Lew Mor- ris" brard was showing the lead in sales. Of the ten-cent cigars, a brand made by ,he S. R. Moss Cigar Co. seems to be running ahead nicely. J. E. Sherts. of the Sherts C'gar Co., was last week on a trip among his cus- tomers. At the Eureka cigar factory of A. D. Killheflfer at Millersville there does not seem to b.' much of a depression in busi- ness. Orders are coming to them stead- ily by mail, and a full complement of hands are at work. E. 1. Alexander, of Jos. S. Cans & Co., New York, was a visitor recently at the local packing house of the lirm in this citv. <:><:> . GEORGIA COMPANY BANKRUPT. TRADE NOTES.

NEW YORK THE TOBACCO WORLD Vol. XXIX., No. 16 PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 21, 1909 One Dollar the Year PLEA FOR PHILIPPINES. President Taft Sends Special Message to Congress. Washington, I). C, April 15. The President to-day sent to C able measure those industries which now exist in the islands. "The bill now transmitted has been drawn by a board of tariff experts, ot which the Insular Collector of Cus- toms, Colonel George R. Colton, was the president. "The board held a great many open meetings in Manila ami conferred fully with representatives of all business in^ terests in the Philii)pine Islands. It is of great importance to the welfare of the islands that the bill should be passed the same time with the pend- ing Payne bill, with special reference to the provisions of which is was prc"« pared. "I respectfully recommend that this bill be enacted at the present session of Congress as one incidental and re- quired by the passage of the Payne bill. "WILLIAM H. T.\FT. "The White House, April 14, 1909." Secretary of War Dickinson in for- warding the papers to the President says : "I have not had time to examine the bill in detail and have not sufficient rcquaintance with the subject to say whether or not it is what it should be, but General Edwards, who is familiar with the matter, recommends it and ■ have no doubt that with your own familiarity with the subject you will be able to dispose of it." The letter of General Edwards, dat- ed April I and addressed to Secretary Dickinson, describes the measure and its purposes in much the same language as President Taft. REVENUE PROSECUTION. Bondsman Alleged to Have Made False Statement. * Lancaster, Pa., April 16. Abram Hess, of Millway, has been prosecuted before United tSates Com- missioner Howard Lowell by internal revenue authorities . on a charge of perjury and falsely executing a bond.

Italian Tobacco Monopoly Seeks Protec- tion Against Night Riders. Washingtcm, D. C, April 17. The diplomatic correspondence of the State Department in 1906, made public to-day, shows that the Italian Government was buying yearly, in Kentucky and Tennessee, about 34,- ocx),ooo pounds of tobacco for the needs of the tobacco monopoly. It was in connection with these pur* chases that the Italian Ambassador at V.ashington made a formal protest at the State Department for security against the dejiredations o night "rid- ers." In replying to the Ambassador's rep* resentations, Secretary Root suggest- ed that the Italian Government was purchasing, the tobacco in its private capacity rather than as a sovereign. "In such a case the Italian Govern- ment," said Mr. Root, "might seek re- dress in our Court of justice, because it is a settled law of this country that Courts of justice are open to sovereigns upon the same terms as to private in- dividuals for the protection of prop* erty rights." RECORD TOBACCO SALES. Raleigh, N. C, April 16. — Reports of leaf tobacco warehousemen to the State Commissioner of Agriculture re- garding last year's tobacco crop show the record-breaking sales of 1.39,500,- 000 pounds, against only 108,000,000 for the previous year. BALTIMORE LEAF MEN OPPOSE DOINGS AT TAMPA. The Philippine Section of the Tariff Bill. Say the Free Admission of Eastern Tobacco Will Affect the Trade. Local tobacco merchants are consid- erably agitated over the passage of a section of the Payne Tariff bill allow* ing a great quantity of cigars and to- bacco to' enter this country from the Philippine Islands free of duty. The bill, which, they say, passed the Hou^e, was a great surprise to local tobacco dealers and to merchants throughout the country. Not only will an im- mense amount of Philippine tobacco be admitted free, but it is said that the duty on Havana fillers will be raised from 28 cents a pound to 56 cents a pound. Both increasing the duty of Havana tobacco and exempting the Philippine tobacco from duty may work a hard- ship on all of the t(jbacco dealers in the country. Baltimore especially may be affected, as this city ranks high rmong the tobacco markets. The Ha- vana clause will, the merchants say, make a big difference in the price of Havana tobacco, for it will cost the manufacturer much more to make his cigars. Local dealers seem to agree that the greater part of the burden will lall on the consumers, and that the grade of the cheap cigars especially will be lowered when these new tariff clauses go into effect. As yet X\ft deal- ers do not seem to understand how far the Payne bill will affect business, l)ut a delegation of local dealers will go to Washington to investigate. Mr. Gieske, president of the Balti- more National Cigar Leaf Board, said ii: reference to the bill: "Although I am not certain what action has been taken in Washington, I received a message from my repre- sentative in that city saying that an immense (juantity of Philippine tobac- co will be admitted free every year and that the tax on Havana tobacco will be doubled. He also said that each year 150,000,000 cigars will be allowed in this country fntm the is- lands free of duty, as well as 3,000,- 000 pounds of filler tobacco and 300,- 000 pounds of wrapper tobacco. This means that about 3 per cent, of the total amount of tobacco sold in this country will be admitted free from the Philippines. "Of course, all of the members of the trade are excited over the new bill, and I intend to go to Washing- ton and investigate thoroughly. We hope that no bill will be passed which will injure the tobacco trade of the country at large, or this city." Pipestone, Minn. — Geo. R. Tousley, manufacturer cigars, sold out to Sam Hirsch. He will remove to Beloit, Wis., where he has purchased a cigar store. Great Increase in Cigar Output During First Three Months of the Year. Tampa, Fla., April 17. Increase of the cigar shipments from Tampa the past three months of the current year over the corresponding period of last year amount to almost 13,000,000. The prospect for a heavy shipment the remaining nine months of 1909 is considered excellent and no one doubts that the increase for the year will be at least 20 per cent, and may be 25 per cent. At this time there are four or five of the largest clear Havana cigar manufacturing concerns of the coun- try contemplating removing their fac- tories to Tampa and these will afford employment to a great many more workers. The past week has been a notable one in the industry, since it has wit- nessed the decision of one of the larg- est cigar manufacturing concerns in the world to remove to Tampa from New York. This busineess is that of E. Refiensburg & Sons, and the busi- ness of the concern is in the same class with that of A. Santaella & Co. and the Stachelberg-Esberg-Gunst Company. Also it has witnessed the choosing of a temporary quarters for the company pending the erection of a commodious home for the buiness in Ybor City. To-day there are many more cigar- makers employed and many more op- eratives employed in every depart- ment of Tampa's premier industry than in a year past. From time to time in the next few weeks many more people will be secured for the carry- ing on of the great business. Representatives of Tampa concerns are all over the country and all the factories report their representatives sending in many large orders. The market for Tampa cigars has opened up all over the United States. It is estimated that 10 per cent, more ci- gars were manufactured the past week in the city than were turned out dur- ing any previous week of the year. With the securing of the Regens- burg factory for Tampa the weekly payroll will be greatly increased through the continuous emplyment ot several hundred more cigarmakers. Negotiations are on at this time for the locating of other concerns and it is reasonably certain that other large manufacturers will come here from New York within the next few months. Regensburg & Sons expect to have a large force at work within the next fortnight at the old A. B. Ballard fac- tory in Ybor. Laureano Torres, of the Castaneda factory in Havana, will be the factory manager for Regens- burg here. He is accounted one o» the most expert cigar men in the busi- ness. E. A.

Guidalia & Sons locating in Tam- pa, J. Guidalia has gone to New York in connection with this matter. This concern manufactures a great number of cigars and employs a large force of operatives. Jose Suarez, a large leaf broker of Havana, who purchases the tobacco for Rengensburg & Sons, has been in the city several days. He left the past week for Havana after visiting the various factories of Tampa and de- clared himself much impressed with conditions and satisfied the shipments from Tampa this year will continue to increase in large numbers. That the big cigar business done by Samuel I. Davis & Co. has greatly outgrown their El Sidelo factory in West Tampa is the statement of a member of that f\rm who has been in the city for several weeks. The Davis Company has been experiencing excellent orders and now has 500 men at work. More are needed and the problem is where to put them. It is probable that another factory will be rented for a time, and that in the fall an entirely new factory will be erected by the company in addition to the one they now operate. THE MARSH STOGIES. An Important Wheeling Establishment that Has an Enviable Record. Wheeling, W. Va., April 15- Wheeling is known the world over as a great stogie centre. Right near the heart of the great tobacco-growing district, it has su- perior advantages for the manufacture of this popular cigar. Beginning in the early days of river transportation the Wheeling stogie and the toby became popular. They have grown more and more in favor ever since. MifHin Marsh, founder of the exten- sive business and great establishment of M. Marsh & Son, was the origina- tor of the old Wheeling stogie. To his practical ability, his wonderful re- sources as a manufacturer and his keen foresight the business grew from that of a small beginning to one ot remarkable and wonderful proportions Even in those early days, through his sagacious enterprise, the Wheel- ing stogie for flavor, quality and ex- cellence attained a reputation through- out the land and has always held its popularity, until to-day it is in greater demand than any other cigar manu- factured. The original business was established in 1840. In 1869 W. M. Marsh was taken in as a partner, and at the death of his father, Mifflin Marsh, in 1901, the present firm of M. Marsh & Son was incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000, with W. M. Marsh president and J. H. Gollner secretary-treasurer and general man- ager. Mr. W. M. Marsh is a practical cigarmaker and tobacconist, and Mr. vjoimer has been associated with tht business since early boyhood and has familiarized himself with all its details. It has been through their personal en- ergies that tne business has been brought to the gigantic proportions it now enjoys, and the concern stands foremost without a peer in the stogie business. The company are manufac- turers of the world widely-known Old Reliable Stogies that are made of the same excellent grade of tobacco as they were made of 69 years ago. Their Little Havanas have been made for more than 40 years and continue popu- lar. It is an old reliable seed stogie that is uncqualcd for flavor and strength. About three years ago juarsh's Big Havana was introduced and made a wonderful hit. It is to- day the leading stogie in the country and has a constant and growing de- mand. It is the best 2 for 5 stogie manufactured, retailing at $1.10 per box of fifty. The output of the concern is 30,000,000 stogies annually and the firm increased their business last year $83,000 over 1907, in the face of a sea- son of financial stringency and busi- ness depression in other lines. The outlook for this year is beyond calcu- lation. It is quality that counts. It was quality that made the demand for Marsh Old Reliable Stogies and their Big Havanas. The comapny has two immense plants. They opened last year a new factory for the exclusive manu- facture of Big Havanas, one of the most modern in the country. ^ STEPHEN F.

Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. Boston, April 19. The base ball season opened here this week at the National grounds, and the "fans" were out in great shape. Many of our retailers in the South end noticed an improvement in business with, the opening of the ball season, which is usually the sign that spring has surely arrived. . ., The retail end of" the cigar business is improving nicely as the weather im- proves. Our local cigar manufacturers are advertising their brands in various ways. H. Frazier & Co. are advertising judiciously their Pi^jpin cigar in our newspapers. The Waitt & Bond Co. also are advertising their "Blackstone" and "Totem" brands. The certificates now being placed in all the brands of cigarettes made by the A. T. Co., and which are redeem- able by the company for cash, are very interesting to our retailers, who are eager to accumulate them. This is a blow to independent-made brands, the manufacturers of which have to come out with some similar proposition be- fore the retailer puts all his energies into pushing only the brands which contain the cash certificates of their powerful rival. A bon voyage dinner took place Thursday night in the banquet hall of the American House. The guest of honor was Maurice Hanauer, of the wholesale jobbing house of Bieringer Bros. Co., who leaves to-day with his family on a two months' trip to visit his folks in Steinsfurth, Germany. This is the first trip Mr. Hanaeur has made to his old home since he came to this country, when he entered the employ of Louis Jeselsohn, the wholesale tobac- conist, with whom he remained until a year or so ago, when he went into partnership with Bieringer Bros. Mr. Hanauer has certainly put in some strenuous work, and his success in life was due to nothing but hard work. The farewell dinner was attended by 2^ members of the trade, an4-ff0m reports it w^s X^Vow^V\y enjoyed by all pres- ,ent. 'i^ sad feature of the affair was that A. Bieringer had a small bone broken in his leg while attempting to see who could kick the highest, but 1 understand the injury is a slight one and Mr. Bieringer will be able to attend business again in the course of a few days. Among those who attended the banquet were Abr., Leo. and Fred. Bieringer, Ely Levy, manager at L. Jeselsohn's; J. Perlstein, Federal Cigar Co.; W. Judson, Monopol Tob. Co.; Al Bloom, Butler-Butler Co.; C. Chandler, Nestor-Gianacles Co.; Frank Swick, Surbrug Co.; Fred Roseboom, J. J. Bagley & Co.; Sam Marcuson, Turco- Am. Tob. Co.; Charles Abrahams, Er- lich & Kopf, and Herman Levine. After many toasts had been proposed, Mr. Hanauer was presented with a handsome gold watch charm, with a diamond in the center, and on each side were the emblems of the Odd Fellows' and Masonic Orders. C. W. Saunders, Cortez Cigar Co., was in town last Monday, going th« rounds of the trade with Charley Ellis. John J. Bowes, formerly with J. Whitelaw & Co., is now calling on the local trade in the interest of The Hilson Co., selling Magnums, Chicos and The Corker cigar. A. S. Bearse & Co., wholesale and retail tobacconists, 12 Green street, have purchased from Goldsmith, Silver & Co., the right and title of their 5c. cigar, Black Hen, and are now the sole owners of the brand. They have started working the local trade, and have en- gaged the service of George Cawthorne to do the missionary work. Advertising matter will be distributed, and the quality of the cigar will be improved upon. E. Kleiner, of E. Kleiner & Co., New # York, makers of the well-known Lord McCauley seed and Havana cigars, was here this week. Kleiner & Co. report a nice increasing business on their Grand Republic cigarros, a 6 for loc. package. Valuable coupons are being placed in each package. J. Burns, representing the Globe To- bacco Co., Detroit, Mich., expects to call on the Boston trade on or about the 2ist inst. J. J. Bagley & Co. have started in a lively campaign on Buckingham cut plug tobacco. A corncob pipe is being given to each purchaser of a 5c pack- age. Charles E. Murray has just been added to the Boston crew of salesmen. A. F. Geist, 28 Charles street, has sold his cigar and tobacco store to W. Ginsburg, who formerly kept a retail cigar store in East Boston. The United States Tobacco Co. is now placing with the local trade a new brand of high-grade smoking tobacco called Saratoga Chips.

Lancaster, Pa., April 19. At a special meeting of the Lancas^ ter Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, held: this day, the following resolution was adopted by unanimous vote: Whereas, i nere is now pending be- fore the Senate of the United States a tariff revision measure. Section 5 of which provides for the free entry into the United States of three million (3,000,000) pounds of filler tobacco, three hundred thousand (300,000)- pounds of wrappers' tobacco and one hundred and fifty milliori (i5o,odo,oOtt> cigars free of duty from the PhilitJ- pitles; and. Whereas, This nUhiber of cigars, to^ gether with the cigars which will b« made froin the above amount of tobac- co, exceeds the number of cigars manu- factured in the Philippines during the year 1907, and is equal to one-fiftieth qf all cigars manufactured in the United States during 1907, we believe the pas- sage of this measure would work urt- told ihjury to the tobacco growers, to- babco packers, dtdlers and jobbers,, ci^ar mariufattut-ers, cifear jobberdii^, bench workfers and the mahy thou- sands of people who ^ri one way or another make theit livelihood out of the tobacco industry; and.

There is -still -general- dullness in the leaf trade here. Aside from the talk over the recent disastrous tobacco fire in this city, there was really little inter- est in the trade. The 1908 crops have been about all packed, and warehouse men are now cleaning up generally, and attending to the wants of local manufacturers who come into this mar- ket for a supply of certain goods. Of course that trade goes principally to the jobbing houses, and the. larger packers do not share in the business very greatly at this time. There has been a great deal of com- ment on the output of cigars during the month of March. It is generally admitted that trade seemed to be dull and that many factories were working on limited production. Therefore it was somewhat of a surprise that the figures showed up as well as they did. It is accounted for by one large manufac- turer in this way: That the production during the month was not really as great as the revenue reports show stamp sales for, but that more goods were probably shipped out, and there- fore stamps were bought. It matters little whether the revenue figures show the quantity of goods made during the month or whether they indicate to a fair ('.cgrtc llic amount of gVorry Money Use Our Cedar Shooks for Your Regular Brands No Re-Cutting No Was^e »; ; ; i < ' I ■ STOCK READY TO PRINT > '■!.'

"I want to place myself on record as saying that a good cigar cannot be purchased west of Winnipeg for less than 15 cents," says a writer in the Bookkeeper, "and then, to be Entirely candid in the matter, they're so rank that our ordinary five-cent brands smoke like choice Havanas in compar- ison. "There is room for 5C0 good cigar- makers in the three provinces, and there is room for as many more in (.'ther parts of the Dominion; but I recommend only the West, where any man who can make a good cigar to sell for 10 cents will be independent within a few years. "Medicine Hat was the only W^est- ern town in which I found first-c^ass cigars. An American from Chicago made the cigars. He sold them for five cents each, and thousands were smoked every week. The man was making a fortune. "Cigars are a good illustration of or- dinary business methods now in vogue. You pay five cents for a certain cigar in Toronto. At Moose Jaw you pay 10 cents for the same cigaf and at Calgary it costs you 15. If you object the prairie business man grins and says, Well, this isn't Toronto.' One of them said candidly to me, 'Why, sure, we make 11 cents profit on that cigar. They get a quarter for it in Alaska.' "Western Canada isn't Alaska. It is a network of railroads. Its freight rates, while high, are getting steadily cheaper. The business methods in the majority of towns ^night well be repre- sentative of those 1000 miles nearer to the dome of the earth. "If an army of 10,000 American bus- iness men, manufacturers and promo- ters should invade the Dominion West to-morrow they would do more to- ward the development than 1,000,000 immigrants. No three regions in the world are more prosperous than Sas- katchewan. Alberta and Manitoba. Banner crops have made the farmers independent, and each succeeding crop adds to the honey which the Ameri- can business l)ee has not seen fit to touch." CIGARETTE LAW ADOPTED. St. Paul, Minn., .\pril 14. Governor Johnson to-day signed the anti-cigarette bill, which makes it a misdemeanor to manufacture, sell or give away cigarettes or cigarette pa- pers. The bill exempts jolibers who do an interstate business. It will become ef- fective on August I. Constitution ^"t^c^^V Made in the good old way. EL DRACO CIGAR MFG. CO.. PHILA.

Milwaukee, Wis., April 17. Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. have made a bid of $12,000 for the bankrupt I. M. Leaderer stock. D. C. Green, trustee, has notified the creditors that unless a larger bid is received before April 26th. the stock will be sold to them. It is learned that Steve Surman made a bid direct to the interested creditors, I. M. Leaderer also made a bid and Best & Russell, of Chicago, are understood to have bid on the stock through Mr. Paulson, of their sales force. There is a possibility of a higher bid being made by a local west side dealer who, it is said, is anxious to get an east side store. Among the Abraham stores trade is good. Joe Leisser, formerly of the Caswell store, has been transferred to the Majestic Building, and Norman Ep- stein succeeds him at the ft)rmer stand. Joe Feiger has returned from Minne- apolis, and will assume the manage- ment of the Abraham stores. Leo Abraham has incorporated his confectionery lousiness as the .Sweet Shop, and Frank Abraham will be man- ager. Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. report a good trade at both stores, sales are increas- ing at the Fifth street store. They have i display of Savaronas at the Pabst Building store this week. Charles Engcl. in charge of the Lederer store, has a neat display of Farraguts of Y. Pendez & .Alvarez, and La Mutas of the Phil Verplanc factory. ' ' Steve Surman & Co. report a good business. An attractive display of the La Magnitas (Waldorf-Astoria) adorns their windows. Hendee intends to make a big noise tr. have a swinging door placed at the rear of his stand, leading into the Bal- timore Lunch Room. If he succeeds it will be increased sales considerably. C harles J. Esch is now in charge of the store. Among the manufacturers trade seems tf) be increasing. J. & E. Kerns are busy making Na- tional Fads, which the Beerbaum Com- pany are i)lacing. and which are now being handled in the eating houses of the C. & N. W. Ry. H. Fernandc?: & Bro.

Silver, adorned tlie Third street window of Leo Abraham's store. It represented a box car. the door being open showing a consignment of Dan Sully's to the .\braham stores. A tramp lounged in the doorway smoking some of the stock and evidently enjoying them. Many passersby stopped and com- mented on the display, which was the first of its kind in the city. A new arrival in the cigar fraternity of the city is John Schmidt, formerly of JefTcrson, Wisconsin., who has open- ed a cigar factory here. All ert Gritt, a new recruit, takes to the business quite well at Sam Bach's Grove street store. Allen Si Langemo are doing a good 1 tisiness at the Norman Building store.

The shipment for the present year, up to April 10, amounted to 63,670,003 cigars, ■against a total for the same period of last year of 50,110,000 — an increase ot i3>56o,ooo for a little more than three months of 1909. E. Regensburg and Mortimer Re- gensburg, of the firm of E. Re- gensburg & Sons, proprietors of the big cigar business soon to be removed to Ybor City from New York, are in the city registered at the Tampa Bay. With them are Attorney Henry L. Co- hen and Simon A. Schwartz, of Schwartz & Gross, a firm of New York architects, and Frank Sanchez, of the Sanchez & Haya Real Estate Co., who negotiated the deal with the Regens- burgs for the location of the big fac- tory in Ybor. Jose Suarez, leaf buyer and Havana representative of the com- pany, is also here from Cuba in con- ference with the other members of tht party. The Regensburgs favor the construc- tion of a large fire-proof structure, which will be a model factory for the •entire country and in every respect a beautiful one. Architect Schwartz is here for the purpose of drafting plans for the building before returning to New York, and the building work will be under the supervision of Schwartz & Gross. What material will be used has not . been decided, but it is possible steel tind concrete will figure extensively in the work. It is declared that every effort will be made to erect the large factory on North Sixteenth street as soon as pos- sible and have it in operation with all possible speed, the old A. B. Ballard factory to be used until the new home for the business is located. An arrangement has been completed •whereby Laureano Torres, of Havana, •who is now in New York, will be the manager of the big factory. Mr. Torres formerly was with the Castancda fac- tory in Havana and is regarded as one of the ablest tobacco men in the world. Continue Depredations in Southern In- diana in Order to Pay for Tillage. Washington, Ind., April 24. Hie "night riders" in Southern Da- viess county have not ceased activities and it is known that at least one threatening letter has been received by a tenant. The letter was mailed at Petersburg, Ind., and addressed to John Potter, a tenant on the farm of William Schrolucke, of Washington. Several nights ago Potter was vis- ited by a gang of 20 men and told not to farm any of the Schrolucke land at the one-half rental price, but after a consultation with the owner he con- tinued his work. The letters afterward received caused him to grow apprehen- sive and he at once gave up the idea of further work. The land owners are in correspond- ence with detective agencies, and it ib said the secret service men will be brought into this section for the pur- pose of ridding the community of its lawless element. TOBACCO FACTORY BURNED. Big Plant Destroyed in Owensboro, Ky. Loss Over $200,000. Owensboro, Ky., April 23. J. M. Vaughan's independent tobacco afct(jry was burned to the ground on Tuesday morning by fire which origi- nated in the drying room. The loss is estimated at between $200,000 and $300,000. One hundred and fifty employes had a narrow escape, as the drying room was under the stemming room. Mr. Vaughan will rebuild. FACTORY FOR ST. JOSEPH, MO. Key West, April 24. Manuel Lopez & Co. are to move their cigar factory from New York to Key West, and it is said that they will be ready for operations about May i. In speaking of the change, Mr. Man- uel Lopez says that after eighteen years' experience in the manufacture of clear Havana cigars he ha.s, convinc- ed himself that Key West is the place where the best And most satisfactory results can be obtained in the handling of the Cuban leaf and the production of the best clear Havana cigars. Consumers' Co-operative Co. Organized wilh $15,000 CapitaL St. Joseph, Mo., April 24. As one of the results of the increased tobacco acreage in Northwest Mis- souri, a company has been incorporated with a view to manufacturing and mar- keting the product. It is to be known as the Consumers' Co-operative To- bacco Co., and has a capital of $15,000, and this is divided into $6ooo common and $9000 preferred stock, the prefer^ red stock to bear 8 per cent, interest before any dividend is realized on the common stock. The stock is all sub- scribed and $7500 is paid in in cash. The common stock is held as follows: John A. Diss, St. Joseph, 58 shares; Charles W. Lyman, St. Joseph, 1 share; George D. Steele, Kansas City, I share. Preferred stock is held by the same persons in the following pro- portions: John A. Diss, 80 shares; Chas. W. Lyman, 5 shares; George D. Steele, 5 shares. Approximate Results of the 1908 Crop in the Badger State. Janesville, Wis., April 22. The 1908 crop is ikjw so well moved out of first hands that a fairly good es- timate can be made of the average price realized by growers, as well as the influence of returns obtained may have upon the probable acreage to be planted the coming season. As is well known, the early buying brought quite remunerative prices, so that by the time half the crop was^taken over the great bulk of it had brought the growers from 9 to 11 cents for the grades. After the first rush of buying had subsided the American Tobacco Co. came into the field and began tak- ing over the lower-grade crops at re- duced prices, ranging from * to 7^-4 cents. At the latter figures probably close to one-third of the crop has been removed. If one were to attempt to strike an average they would arrive at something like SlA cents, possibly a trifle more. Of course, this is not a very fat profit to the grower, but at this figure tobacco growing yields fair returns. However, it is hardly enougn to encourage farmers to increase their acreage and On the other hand is not lean enough to curtail the acreage in the older growing sections. On the whole, the results from a crop that at no time was considered quite up to the average of Wisconsin tobacco ought not to be a determining factor in influencing the acreage to be plant- ed the coming season. If it reaches 35,000 to 40.000 acres it will be am- ple for the needs of the market. One thing should be borne in mind, there is no visible syrplus of old stock on hand to disturb market conditions. But for the remnants of the high- priced '06 leaf yet unsold there is very little stock in country packers' hands to draw from to meet the needs of manufacturers if business should re- gain its normal proportions. This get- ting back to lower levels of prices has been a long, tedious process. Manu- facturers have been living on a hand- to-mouth policy for a year now, all the time hoping the bottom had been reached before laying in their usual surplus of stock. They can hardly continue along this line indefinitely; some time they must replenish their stores and then the real condition of the binder market will be apparent. Then we may see a return of such a revival of the leaf market as has been witnessed often in this State. Unless all signs fail", it cannot be such a long time coming, either. Continued busi- ness depression alone can delay it, and the sooner Congress disposes of the present tariff agitation the sooner bus- iness will get back to nearer normal conditions. W. A. Williams is about to engage in the cigar business at Waterloo, la. Cigarmakers' Union Would Permit Free Entry of 150,000,000. Duluth, Minn., April 22. Although the Capitol at Washington is quite a distance from Duluth, the local trades and labor assembly is send- ing a little reminder to the Ways and Means Committee of the lower House of Congress about the duty on cigars brought in from the Philippines, one of the matters which is receiving consid- eration from the Congressmen at this session. The Cigarmakers' Union of America has decided that 150,000,000 cigars a year should be brought into the coun- try free of duty from the Philippines, and that the regular duty should be imposed upon all importations over that amount. The cigarmakers' delegation in the local labor assembly presented the views of its organization to the assem- bly at the last session, and the as- sembly promptly indorsed the 150,000,- 000 cigar sentiment, and instructed the secretary to write to the Minnesota Congressmen, informing them how or- ganized labor in Duluth stands upon this question of cigar receipts from the Far Eastern possessions, and urg- ing them, to use their influence in this direction. WHAT THE REGIE BOUGHT. Italian Government Bought 34,000,000 Pounds of American Leaf Tobacco. Washington, April 22, The diplomatic correspondence of the State Department in 1906 shows that the Italian Government was buying yearly in Kentucky and Tennessee about 34,000,000 pounds of tobacco for the needs of the tobacco monopoly. It was in connection with these pur- chases that the Italian Ambassador at Washington made a formal protest to the State Department for security against the depredation of night rid- ers. In replying to the Ambassador's rep- resentations. Secretary Root suggested that the Italian Government was pur- chasing the tobacco in its private ca- pacity rather than as a sovereign, and "might seek redress in our Courts."

Indiana Local Option Law Blamed for the Closing of Factories. Last year the two principal cigar manufacturers of Brookeville, Ind.. sold something over a million cigars, a business that brought a trifie above $35,000 into the business channels of this community, says the Democrat, of that city. Of this money $3000 went to the gen- eral Government as stamp taxes, and $17,000 was paid out in wages to the working people who were employed in the two shops. About eighty-five per cent, of the business was from outside and was a clear income to our home trade. With the coming of local option closures of their customers out over the State these sales stopped, and the stock pil- ed up in the warerooms, so that at the first of the year a policy of retrench- ment caused men to be let go, and final- ly last week the manufacturers found they could no longer buy stock and pay men without encroaching on their -capital. Both shops were compelled to close down and twenty-one more were add- ■ed to the already too large contingent of the unemployed. If these employes do succeed in getting employment it ■will be at the expense of some other Northern Wisconsin Leaf Tobacco Co.

Warehouse and Factory Notes. Special Correspondence of f The past week has been a very qutet one in our market, as only a trifle over looo bales were sold, the major portion of which consisted of low grade Reme- dios. As we are now in the "between the seasons" periqd, the good part ot the old crop having almost disappear- ed, and it being tot) early .for the new growth, there is no incentive for buy- ers to come fhere. Besides^ it is said here that business in the cigar manu- facturing line in the United States is by no means satisfactory, and consequent- ly there is no urgent call for our leaf. However, as soon as the revision of the tariff in the United States shall have been setled there is bound to be a re- vival in all trades, as uncertainty is the worst enemy commerce has all over the Avarld, and as no merchant can make any prudent calculation upon imports, exports or future contracts, all large enterprises are impossible for the time l)eing. Some new Vuelta Abajo has arrived this past week from the country, but it consists mostly of the libre de pie ftyles. Owing to some more rains in the country many farmers have taken advantage of the humidity to bundle and pile their green tobacco, but if the same atmospheric conditions prevail in the country as exist in the city of Havana, it may have been a mistake to be in a hurry. Old, experienced farmers usually wait until the rainy season has set in for good, and then the fermenta- tion process is bound to be what it ought to be, while otherwise, with a dry temperature, the same is interrupted more or less, thus giving us a leaf which will not cure well in the bales. Most of our leaf dealers are very cautious this year, as before buying the green leaf they want to sec how it has. The Tobacco World.

' The Schulte interests, which have been operated by the A. Schulte Company, composed of David A. Schulte and the estate of Anthony Schulte, have expand- ed by additional corporations, which will open several new stores. As to the affili- ation of the Schulte with the United interests no confirmation could be ob- tained. In the United Cigars Stores Company offices, No. 44 West Eighteenth street, it was .stated that it positively has no business arrangement of any kind with the estate of Anthony Schulte, but when a.sked for a similar denial of joint in- terest with David A. Schulte no denial or affirmation was obtainable. Representatives of the United are now inspecting all the five boroughs and 'especially the northern portion of Man- hattan, seeking locations for new stores. It was stated in its offices that one hun- dred at lea.st will be opened this spring c»r summer, and that the company wants to open two hundred if attractive locations can be obtained. It was made plain that the United is seeking to blanket all New York with its agencies. ♦ ♦ * Trade Noten. Percival S. Hi!l has been elected pres- ident of the Federal Cigar Co., suc- ceeding W. S.

Consolidation of Tager & Epstein and Epstein & Kcwarsky, under the Title of the KNICKERBOCKER LEATHER & NOVELTY CO. A $60,000 Corporation. New York, April 26, 1909. Way back in 1892 the firm of Tager & Epstein began the manufacture of ad- vertising novelties in a very modest way, having headquarters then on the Bowery. The intuition of the men com- posing the firm was quite clear, and they quickly discoverec' that the opportuni- ties afforded in their undertaking were far greater than they had perhaps even dreamed of, for nearly every industry in the country was approachable on the subject of efficient advertising; and, after all, it was advertising goods that the firm wished to offer to manufactur- ers and others. There were so many kinds of industries which it was desir- able to reach, but all could not be taken up at once, and in a moment of care-« ful reflection it was decided that the cigar trade was certainly one of the in- dustries which should have need of such a line of goods, as they were then pre- paring themselves to offer. While it was not a matter of acting upon the im- pulse of the moment, certain plans soon developed into feasibility, and a person- al canvass was made of the trade. When it was revealed that the progressive manufacturer hailed with delight the opportunity of presenting to his trade novelties that possess all the truer char- acteristics of advertising virtue, such as attractiveness, utility, and moderation of cost. Crlssman QuNSfl-LOf^ 5 CIGAR Change Tray Even then, it was not all easy sailing, but by dint of energy and the closest possible personal application to the business, it began to grow, and showed a large increase in volume each year thereafter. About this time, there came a change in the firm, by the organiza- tion of a new firm composed of two members of the old firm, and under name of "Epstein & Kowarsky," they began business at 351 Broadway. The old firm of Tager & Epstein then re- moved to 420. Broadway, and both houses continued to prosper, even though they were confined to practi- cally the same line of business. Subse- quently the firm of Epstein & Kowarsky removed to 314 Broadway, where in- creased facilities, which the greater volume of business was demanding, were procurable. The present day tendency toward con- centration of business interests to bring about if possible a reduction in the cost of manufacture and to enable hitherto competing houses to offer their wares at a reduced price, and thereby to still more greatly increase the volume of business, it was decided that a consoli- Safety Match Case dation of the two firms, under one gen- eral head was very desirable. There- fore, there was organized a few months ago under the law of the State of New York, the Knickerbocker Leather & Novelty Co., and which absorbed the business of Tager & Epstein and ot Epstein & Kowarsky, with an ample amount of capital, and in which the principals of the former two firms are all interested, and in a very active ca- pacity. The officers of the new company are S. L. Kowarsky, president; William Tager, vice president; Morris Epstein, treasurer, and Barnett Epstein, secre^ tary. Every one of these gentlemen are well and favorably known in commer- cial circles, and particularly so in the cigar trade. As has been said, the principal part of the business is the manufacture of advertising novelties, made wholly or in part of leather. The new company has a splendidly equipped plant, fitted up with all the latest improved ma- chinery, tools and appliances, and is located at 312-314-316 Broadway, the additional floor space at 312 Broadway having been only recently acquired, and employment is now afforded to a very large force of workmen, who are re- quired to be specially skilled in this particular line of work. The large and varied list of goods includes a line of articles especially suitable for cigar manufacturers. Since the perfection of the recent Concluded on p. 13. Pocket Cigar Case 11 E. A.

There was a little business in the leaf market this week, but there is still lack- ing the spirited buying which the trade has been looking for ever so long. Man- ufacturers seem to have made a few pur- chases for immediate use which gave the market some semblance of activity. In- quiries are coming in for various types of goods, but sales consummated are not in proportion in either number or volume. The cigar production of the country, according to the Government report of the .sale of stamps, seems to indicate that manufacturing is progress- ing steadily since the present year began, and that must naturally also redound to the benefit of the leaf trade. Manufac- turers are believed not to have heavy stocks on hand of either raw material or ' manufactured product, so that when the trade once again begins the buying move- ment that is likely to be some disappoint- ment in getting sufficient supplies of the desired goods. Sumatra sales have been moderately good, although in small lots, yet some additional orders are now being received for both old and the new goods. The Havana market shows no partic- ular change. Prices are well maintain- ed, and the offerings are not overabund- ant. The cigar manufacturers of this city seem to be meeting with a fair demand for their product and the output of this district for the month of April, it is be- lieved, will show very .satisfactory fig- ures. A few of the factories are run- ning full time and with a full comple- ment of cigarmakers. Reports from trav- ehng salesmen now out are becoming more and more encouraging as the year progresses, and it is noW confidently ex- pected that there will be a fairly good business until the time of the usual sum- mer dullness. F. B. Robertson, otherwise Ambassa- dor of Commerce, has secured the ac- count of John Slater & Co., of Lancas- ter, Pa., manufacturers of high grade stogies. Mr. Robertson has an excep- tionally wide acquaintance in the trade here and will undoubtedly place the line of goods in hundreds of stores where the product has never before been properly introduced. H. Dolinsky & Son, Third street leaf tobacco dealers, last week figured quite prominently in the real estate news of this city, when they purchased the prop- 12 John Piercy, wholesale tobacconist, at 49 South Front street, died last week in the seventy-second year of his age. He was one of the best-known figures in the downtown section, and although in feeble health, he was at his business place up to the day of his death. Interment wa.^ made from his home at 730 West Le- high avenue. The most important item of news in the trade during the past week was the effected settlement with creditors of the Moore Cigar Shops, which was made possible by the formation of a new con- cern under the name of Moore Cigar Co., and its con.solidation with the Broomall- Lafayette Cigar Co. Although the de- tails have not yet been fully consummat- ed, the plans have .so far progressed that there is no longer any likelihood that they will miscarry. Under the order of things the retail store on Filbert street, above Broad, will continue as retail store, as will also the Broomall-Lafayette store on Thirteenth street, but the Third street store of the Moore concern will be made the whoJe- .sale distributing establishment, and all of the three stores will be under the per- sonal direction of Mr. E. Burley, who has for some time been in charge of the Broomall-Lafayette store. Frank Rogers, well known in the re- tail cigar trade as a cigar store clerk, formerly employed by Boch & Co., and later by the Boch-Griffon Co., but who for some time has not had a regular place of employment, last week caused consid- erable excitement at Fifteenth and Chest- nut streets, when he suddenly began dashing among the pedestrians, .scream- ing that some one was trying to throw vitriol in his eyes. He was taken to the Hahnemann Ho.spital. where the physi- cians said he was probably demented. He was later removed to the Fifteenth and Vine streets police station and later sent to the Philadelphia Hospital. The firm of Cooper Cigar Co., in the Real Estate Trust Co. Building, has changed its personnel by the retirement of Mr. Cooper, whose interest in the business was purchased by K. R. Worth- ington, a son of W. G.

Barnett Epstein, the sec- retary of the company, is a thoroughly practical man in his department, and will have charge of the manufacturing end of the business. Upon Morris Ep- stein will fall the duties of the financier. We call special attention to the sev- eral illustrations shown above, which will give the reader an idea of the at- tractiveness of the novelties presented by this firm. Of course, it must be re- membered that the above is but a very small assortment of the line offered by this, the largest house of its kind in the country. For illustration, there is the Change Tray. This is a very convenient article for the retailer because of its great util- ity. It is an admirable change tray and can be used at the same time as a mat in which to lay out cigars for the cus- tomer and avoid the greater danger of breaking, if laid in a hard surface. The Safety Match Safe is anothei- elegant novelty which is always useful and convenient for carrying in the pocket. It is not bulky; it isn't made ot metal and therefore does not te?T the pocket; most of all, it is not an ex- pensive article and can be used to ele- gant advantage by all cigar manufac- turers for effective advertising at mod- erate cost. The new patented cigarholder which is oflfered can be used for two rolls of cigars without making the case look, clumsy, and besides, it is said to be th^ only case that 'actually protects cigars against breaking while being carried in the pocket. If space permitted there could be enumerated several hundred articles, every one of which has certain attrac- tive features, but the above will serve to give the reader an intelligent idea and further particulars can be had from the firm upon the asking. YORK ANDJTS^ VICINITr. Trade is Quiet and Many Factories are Running on Short Time. York, Pa., April 26; The tobacco trade in this section is. still generally quiet, with few exceptions. Some orders are coming in, but many of the factories are still working on. short time, and a good many cigarmakers are idle. H. C. Fauth, of Red Lion, was con- victed in Judge Wanner's Quarter Ses- sions Court of arson and felonious en- try, and received a sentence of five years* imprisonment in the Eastern Peniten- tiary. The crimes proven against Fauth were the burning of Allen Poet's cigar factory at Dallastown, in the early hours, of Monday, March 15, after Fauth had; broken into the factory and stolen about 4000 packed cigars, a case of scrap andL a lot of binder tobacco, besides two cut- ting boards and knives and a cancella- tion stamp.

Fauth had offered 'some of the wrappers for sale to Jac<)b Winter, this city. Fauth told an improbable story in his V)wn defense. He said he received tlv. tobacco, cigars and other articles from •"n man named J. W. Grim, whom he met for the hrst time in Center Square on 'Friday, March 12. At that lime Grim - was made b.'forc <'aylight Monday. Fauth said, because JMr. Grim wanted to go away early on •Monday morn.ing. Fauth denied know- ing where the Poet factory was located. •and said he had not been in Dallastown in years. Fauth admitted that he had served six months in jail in 1908 for breaking into a factory and stealing ci- Igars. The jury promptly found a ver- dict of guilty on both charges. Judge Wanner sentenced Fauth to three years on the arson charge and two years on the felonious entr\- and larceny case. Martin Lentz, Walter Mann and Mel- vin Mann, of this city, were put on trial in Judge Wanner's Court last week, du'irged with having feloniously entered the cigar factory of P. C. Fulweiler & Hro, Co. on the night of February ir last, and vvith having stolen therefrom a lot of "Little Lou" cigars and a knife. Some of the cigars and the knife were afterward found in the possession of Walter Mann, who keeps a small cigar store on Vander street. Mann explained 'heir presence by saying that he had b lught them from Lentz. Lentz says he did not sell them to Mann, but that he heard Me'vin Mann trying to sell them to Walter one evening. Lentz has served time before for a similar offense. The case was given to the jury about 4 V. M. The jury being unable to arrive vA a verdict before adjourning. Court adjourned until 7 P. M., at which time the jury returned a verdict. Lentz was found guilty on all three counts and was sentenced to one year and a half in the Eastern Penitentiary. Melvin Mann was acquitted and Walter .Mann was found guilty on the third c(-unt. receiving stolen goods. He was ^cntenced to three months in the county jail.

His death came very sudden- ly. Ge(n-ge was a young man, (Jiily 23 years of age. and made himself very popular with the trade here. He re- signed later to enter the wholesale busi- ness in partnership with his br(jther in the Farrant Tobacco Co.. at Norfolk. Louis Edelson and another salesman have been put to work by Sam Mar- cuson to sell the various brands made by the Turco-.American Tobacco Com- pany.

Small Sales to Local Manufacturers the Only Leaf Transactions Reported. Lancaster, April 26. There is not a particle of change in ihe conditi -ns of tin- leaf tobacco mar- ket since ti.o report of last week. Little or nothing is being done at the ware- houses, which are engaged now largely in cleaning up the remaining work of the season's packing. So far as sales of old goods are concerned there was really nothing done in the past week, save sev- eral small lots to local cigar manufac- turers, as far as can b^ learned. Pack- ers are apparently not expecting an im- mediate change, but are apparently will- irg to abide their time and allow the goods to remain in their hands for a while longer if recessary. Market prices are not affected. The cigar industry also remains rather qi:iet, although there is perhaps just a little more business than there was sev- eral weeks ago. yet not enough to make a» y noteworthy difference. Plenty of cigarmakers could be secured now if they were needed, but the general dullness seems to be keeping a good many out of employment altogether or on short time. The Don Carlos cigar, marketed here by J. (j. Shirk, the well-known cigar jobber, is making a decided hit both in this city and all through the State. Mr. Shirk has devised a plan of profit-shar- ing with his customers, which is work- ing out most satisfactorily. It consists of a coupon placed under the band of each cigar and which have the full value of other coupons issued by Mr. Shirk, and ean be redeemed for gifts in con- nection with others of his coupons. The plan has therefore reduced itself to prac- ticability, and is known to be helpful both to the dealer handling the goods and also to the con.sumer. It is expected that this coupon plan will become one of the best drawing cards that has ever been put out by Mr. Shirk. Although it has Ik en on the market a short time only it has already brought the goods into pop- ular demand in all sections where it has been offered. The territory is being con- stantly ex])anded. W. L. Kendig, erstwhile leaf tobacco inan in this city, was last week on trial in Court here on the charge of false pretense, preferred against him by Chris- tian Esbenshade. of this county. The ac- tion arose from a transaction in the for- mation and marketing of computing scales, and Mr. Esbenshade is said to have advanced the sum total of $30,000 to further the enterprise, but which fail- ed, and nothing was left with which to reimburse Mr. Esbenshade. The Court, however, after hearing the evidence, of- fered by the prosecutor, ordered a ver- dict of not guilty to be found by the jury, and the costs were placed on the county. W. V. Hensel, attorney for P. E. Slay- maker, transferree of Charles J. Leder- man, on Saturday last ti'ed a bill in equity against the Xissley Leaf Tobacco Company. The bill of complaint sets forth that the parties had a ctMitract by v.hich they were jointly -engaged in the tobacco business. The plaintiff now asks that a receiver be appointed, and that the defendants be ordered to file an aeeounting of the business. Counsel for the defendants strenuously objected, to the appointment of a receiver, and held that under the contract such action could not be taken. The Court refused to ap- point a receiver, but granted a prelim- inary injunction restraining the defend- ants from selling or in any way disposing ol the tobacco in dispute. The bill states that in pursuance of the agreement between the parties 2037 eases of leaf tobacco were purchased. Of this sum about 11 50 cases have been sold. The :i mount of the purchase was about $43,000. and of the sale about $51,000, and the claim is maile that over $40,(xx) worth of tobacco remains on hand. The plaintiff comp^^^ns that the defendants mismanaged the business, and have rc- ftiscd to render an accounting 6f the business. # For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes, go to EsUblished 1880 Monroe D.

Ohio Leaf Packers Condemn Free Entry of Philippine Leaf and Cigars. Dayton. O., April 28. At a special meeting of the Board ot Directors of The Ohio Leaf Tobacco Packers' Association, an association comprising in its membership all the representative packers of Ohio leaf to- bacco, the following resoluticjn was imanimously adopted: Whereas, There is now pending be- fore Congress a tariff bill, in which a clause provides for the free entry oi 300.000 pounds of wrapper leaf tobacco, 1,500.000 pounds of filler leaf tobacco and 150,000.000 cigars from the Philip- pines, as found in Article 471 D, page No. 189, of said tariff bill, as reported by Mr. Aldrich on April 12, 1909; And Whereas. If such bill becomes a law. it will work a great injustice and cause untold injury to our tobacco in- dustry, comprising as it does all the Growers, packers, dealers, jobbers and cigar manufacturers, both in this State and through vide empKjyment for 2000 of Filipino* at a low rate of wages, and takes away the livelihood of the same number of .Xmerican citizens, whf)se cost f)f living demands, and who receive fair wages for their work; And Whereas. Said tol)acco. which is proposed to be imported free, is raised by cheap Filipino labor, whose cost oi living is so small that a very meager ^vage scale suffices for their sui)port; And Whereas, The specifying of a "limited quantity" of either the raw or manufactured article will put into the liands of one or a few large operators the possibility of absolutely controlling the importation of this limited (luantity, at an abnormal margin of profit; And Whereas, the importation of a limited (juantity will do more harm to the general trade in the United States than it will benelU the Philippines; And Whereas, Along the present lines of duty established by the Ding- ley Tariff Hill, the tobacco trade and the producers of tobacco are all fairly .satisfied, now that different interests liave become adjusted to those rates; Therefore, be it Resolved. That we, as a trade organization and being out its branches, and to look after the in- terests of tobacco raisers. to])acco packers, tobacc(« jobbers, cigar and to- bacco manufacturers, and their em- ployes, do hereby strenuously protest against the admitting free of duty of any tobacco r)r cigars whatsoever in the United States from the Philippine Islands; And, be it Further Resc.lved, That five hundred copies of this resolution, duly signed, be i)rinted and distributed among the members of the association and kindred associations throughout the country, each to be forwarded to their respective Congressmen and Sen- ators, with a personal reciuest that they use their best efforts to defeat the passage of the proposed measure. And, be it Further Resolved, That a special appeal be made to Senator Dick, of Ohio, who is a member of the Finance Committee, to use every en- deavor to prevent the passage of the Philippine Free Clause in the Senate Bill.

IOWA'S ANTI-CIGARETTE LAW REGENSBURG FACTORY AT TAMPA. NEW GEORGIA ENTERPRISES. Absolutely Prohibits Use of Cigarettes by Boys Under 21 Years of Age. Des Moines, la., April 30. There is much interest in the State in the new anti-cigarette law enacted by the last Oeneral Assembly, and Deputy Secretary of State John Jamieson is receiving inquiries daily as to its pro- visions from tobacco dealers and cigar- ette fiends. The new law is decidedly drastic. It absolutely prohibits the smoking of cigarettes by any boy under the age of 21, and makes each offense punishable by a $10 fine. The original law made it a misdemeanor for any person to permit a minor to siiKjke cigarettes on his premises, but this was stricken out. The new law lightens the penalty if the minor will give informa- tion as to where he received the cigar- ettes or "makings," since it has long been against the law to furnish cigar- ettes or materials to minors. MAY EVADE MINNESOTA'S LAW. Some Dealers Think it May be Done with Impunity. St. Paul, Minn., April 30, The anti-cigarette law will go into theoretical effect August i next, but it seems generally understood among to- bacco dealers that they will make no attempt to live uj) to its provisions. They have been given to understand, in the first place, that according to United States Supreme Court rulings, it is unconstitutional; and in the sec-, ond place, that it is very easily evaded. The tobacco stores, as a whole, will continue to carry cigarette stocks as they do now, but they will not be ex- posed in glass cases. Customers who ask for them will get them. This is the l)lan that will be tried; and if the au- thorities in certain towns insist on en- forcement of this regulation against the ''coffin nail,"' then "the makings" will be sold in a way that it is believed can- not be prohibited. The cigarette papers will be sold as at j)resent, in little books, but they will be labeled "eye- glass cleaners," instead of "cigarette pai)ers." The cigarette tobacco will be sold as in "The good old days," but it will be labeled "pipe tobacco." And is the man who buys the "eyeglass cleaners" and the "pipe tobacco" sees fit to combine the two into the naughty, naughty cigarette, who has scorned the law? All Arrangements Now Completed for the Big Model Plant. Tampa, Fla., April 29. Final arrangement has been made for the location of the big cigar business of E. Regensburg & Sons in the city on a block of land adjacent to Michigan avenue on the south and situated be- tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. All parties interested have de- posited a large sum of money to assure the compliance of all terms of the con- tract and from this time on the Reg- cnsburgs are prominent factors in the development of Tampa's premier in- dustry. Probably within a very few days, the concern will begin the manufacture of cigars on a large scale in the old Bal- lard-Fernandez factory in Ybor City. Chairs have been ordered for the cigar- makers and these will be placed in the building, which is to serve as head- (juarters in Tampa for the firm until the new home is completed, at the earliest practicable time. By June actual construction work will begin on the factory which will be the most model one in the world and from which E. Regensburg & Sons ex- pect to manufacture more cigars than any other concern iii the city, excepting the manufacture of cigars ivom all the factcjries of the Havana-American Co. The building will be completed within six or eight months. Tt will be three stories in height, with a very large basement, and will be built oil plans designed by Schwartz & Gross, New York architects, F. J. Kennard to be the resident architect. The dimensions will be about 60x260 feet, and the cost will aggregate be- tween $50,000 and $60,000. When the company is once settled in that home on Michigan avenue, which will be a credit to industrial Tampa, work will be afforded a force of cigar- makers to the number of between 700 and Tooo, Ybor City feels great pride in the acquisition of the Regensburg business and there is a disposition on the part of all the business men and develop- ers of that section to extend every aid to the firm in hurrying its plans through so that the full force of cigarmakers may be employed ere long and the city may feel the fidl force of the additional payroll in circulation here. Laureano Torres, of Havana, who is to be the factory manager, has arrived from Havana, where he has been con- nected with the Castaneda factory, and is hurrying preparation for the open- ing in the temporary headquarters. The Gunnonde & Zurmuellen Co. has been incorporated at Council Bluffs, la., with a capital of $50,000, to deal in cigars, pipes and tobacco. Wholesale Grocers to Engage in Cigar Manufacturing. La Grange, Ga., April 28. La Grange is to have two cigar fac- tories. The Roper Wholesale Grocery Company will begin the manufacture of cigars, using the top floor of their large wholesale store on the A. & W. P. Railroad for the factory. The services of an experienced cigar- maker, Mr. Bowen Reese, have been engaged and he will be foreman of the plant. The other enterprise will be known as the La Grange Cigar Company, with Mr. F. R. Knight, of Tampa, as manager. Mr. Knight is already in the city and arrangements have been made with the La Grange Wholesale Groc- ery Company to handle the entire out- put of the plant. Mr. Knight has had many years' experience in the business in Tampa. It is understood that both factories will be ready for business about May 1st. - <:>-<^ NEW DETROIT FACTORY. Spietz & Worch Co. Will Build a Large Factory on Forest Avenue. Detroit, Mich., April 30, The Spietz & Worch Company, cigar manufacturers at 606 Chene street, has purchased a factory site on the south side of Forest avenue, between Gran- dy avenue and Chene street, and will at once commence the erection of a factory building to cost between $70,- 000 and $75,000. The property has a frontage of 120 feet and a depth of 180 and the new building will cover the entire site. It will be three stories and a basement and the new institution will give em- ployment to about 1800 persons. The property was owned by J. H. and Barbara Toepel and the deal was put through by Ignatius Lerchenfeld, of the Recorder's Court. The Spietz & Worch Company was formerly Marcero Bros. & Spietz. FIRE DAMAGE AT MOHNTON, PA. Reading, Pa., April 30. The cigar factory of John J. Eshel- man, at Mohnton, near here, was badly damaged by fire, as well as all the con- tents, some of which were rendered absolutely worthless. It is understood that a goodly amount of insurance was carried, and Mr. Eshelman will im- mediately resume business, although he has not fully decided whether he will rebuild on the site of the old build- ing or build a new factory out and out. The cause of the fire is not defi- nitely known. He has an old and es- tablished trade on his goods. William Kigcr has bought out the Tauchert cigar factory at Kahoka, Mo. E. A.

Boston Bureatt "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street Boston, Mass., May 3. Altliough the retail trade has been vip against it the past week, owing to the bad weather We've had, the pros- pects are that the winter season is now at an end for goods and that real spring weather will follow and the trade will be in accordance. Our job- bing houses have been quite busy, much business ccjming in from suburban towns. Jobbers have been receiving shipments very slowly from the Ameri- can Tobacc(j Co. and owing to this have had many difficulties in Idling or- ders for the goods. T. W. Hall, representing the Gra- ham-ltrnsl Co., Quakertown, Pa., man- ufacturers of the Seminola high-grade nickel cigar, was a caller on the job- bing trade this week. Many rumors are afloat that the Jaynes-Riker Drug Co. has purchased the building on Scollay Square at pres- ent used by the Epstein Cut Price Drug Co. The fact of the matter is the Ep- stein Drug Co. has just secured a new lease for ten years on the premises, and has also taken a lease of the jew- elry store adjt)ining; the Jaynes-Riker Company offered to buy the business of the Epstein Drug Co., but as thfc price offered was not large enough to satisfy the Epstein Drug Co. the deal fell through. The Epstein Co., besides doing a goc^d drug and soda trade, en- j(;ys an excellent cigar and cigarette business. The management of this de- partment is under the care of W. Mur phy, a young man who has had plentj of experience in this line in Hartford, C(jnn. The wind«jw display at Ep- stein's this week of the cigar end of the business is a very attractive one. An artistic Melachrino display is in the background which is worthy of men- tion. The display was designed and arranged by Edw. J. Mulligan, who is now making displays here for M. Mel- achrino & Co. Alfred Ball, with S. Monday & Son, Brooklyn, N. Y., was here several days and took a number of nice orders for Beacon Lights, Imperialettes and Hun- ter cigarros. W. G. Akers has sold his cigar and tobacco store, C(jrner Broadway and Stockton streets, Chelsea, to D. F. O'Keefe. Emil .Abrahams, representing the Centennial Cigar Co.. is in town intro- ducing to the trade a new 10 for 15c. package of little cigars called Scorer. The package is a very attractive affair, and the quality of the cigarros is said to be equal to any five-cent cigar. Mr. Abrahams was well pleased with the mnnber of orders he took in town from our jobbing trade. Charlie I'ernhardt (Shinasi Bros.) will leave Boston in a few days to work the principal cities and towns in the New England States. Charlie will paint the towns gray with Royal ci- garettes, as he is the boy that can do it. Charlie's automobiles will soon follow him. In his absence H. B. Black will look after the local trade. Charlie has been breaking him in this week, and it looks as if Black will soon be a crack- ajack. A. Rollman, of the Liberty Tobacco Co., which recently opened for business at 493 Tremont street, reports busi- ness very encouraging since the open- ing.

KEY AVKST C.\JSK l.XCOLKT. A case is now before the United States Circuit Court for the Southern district of New York which will re- quire a decision as regards the right to the use of the word Key West or Key West, Fla., on cigar boxes, when the goods have not been actually made in Key West. • Recently action was brought by the attorneys representing the Key West Cigar Manufacturers' Association against Max Rosenblum, the acknowl- edged head of the Edwin Cigar Stores Co., as well as the company itself, who •were accused of selling cigars under the name of the Key West Havana Smokers, but which goods, it was stat- ed, were actually made in New Jersey. The counsel for the defendants argued that the name Key West was not a trade-mark, and further maintained that the bill of complaint asserted that the association was a Key W'est corpo- ration; that it was not really a business, but a non-stock membership corpora- tion, which ctnild have no property fights, since it does not manufacture or sell cigars, and has no ordinary course of trade. He further argued that the Key West Havana Smokers, as sold by the Kdwin Cigar Stores Co., were made from Key W^est tobacco cutting, and that these cigars as sec- onds did not reach a standard of qual- ity that would be classed as unfair com- petition. Counsellor Perry, on behalf of Stew- art & Stewart, who are the legal repre« seiitatives of the Key West Cigar Man- ufacturers' Associati(jn, informed the Court of a number of decisions which lie felt justified his naming the associa- tion a complainant, as well as its mem- bers separately. He dwelt upon the words Key West, Florida, and outlined fho campaign which he had been wag- ing to preserve that property right. The papers were taken by the Court and reserved for decision. * * * TRAIJK IVOTKS. J. S. Cans & Co. announce that Chas. A. Goldsmith, of York, Pa., is not connected with their sales forces, and that his connection with the house has been severed, and that E. L Alex- ander, a member of the firm, and John F. Schnupp will hereafter call on the trade at York and vicinity. The American Vending Machine Co., to operate machines for vending cigars, cheroots and t(jbacco, has been organ- ized with a capital of $500,000. The incorporators were W. B. Doud, F. .\. Merban. Jr., and T. F. Gregg, New \'ork citv. The A. llussey Leaf Tobacc*; Co. has issued a new and very attractive folder under the title, "A Glimpse Into Heav- en." It is a combination of description and i)rice lists, ccjvering several of the specialties now being offered by that house. GENERAL DULLNESS AT LANCASTER. Only One Leaf Sale of Any Importance Reported During the Week. Lancaster, Pa., May 3. The leaf dealers generally report continued dullness, although there was one transaction consummated recent- ly which gave a little color to the gen- eral complexion of trade conditions. It was a sale of some 200 cases of leaf made by Stoner & Co., leaf packers, at Lititz, to E. Rosenwald & Bro., of New York. Other sales reported were, however, of comparatively small pro- portions. Even the jobbing trade with local manufacturers has been very quiet during the past week. Little progress can be made by the new tobacco plants during the continuance of the excep- tionally cool weather, although farm- ers are anxious to get their crops plant- ed as early as possible, for the sooner they can get it out the earlier the time for the harvest should be and the safer from frost attacks it would be. Quite a delegati(jn from Lancaster journeyed to Washington last week to attend a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee 011 the Tariff bill, so far as its tobacco measures go. In the delegation were B. Ezra Herr, M. L. Greider and Get)rge Hibshman, president, vice president and secre- tary, respectively, of the Lancaster County Tobacco Growers' Association, together with a representation of the leaf trade. Just what efifect their pre- sentations will have on the committee cannot be stated, but it is hoped that it will result in at least some modifica- tions of the Payne bill. When Common Pleas Court met be- fore Judge Landis at 2 o'clock on Mon- day afternoon last the case of W. T. Killinger against L. P. Kimmig & Co. was attached before Judge Landis. It was a suit to recover $305.31 in a to- bacco transaction. Plaintiff claimed that in October, 1906, he entered into a contract with the defendant com- pany for the sale of six acres of to- bacco at 15J/2 cents through. There were 8944 ])ounds of the tobacco. The tobacco had been bought from A. B. Landis at Rohrerstown. It was de- livered at the defendants' warehouse in this city, but they refused to accept it. Plaintiff then sold the crop to An- drew Miller for $1088.76. The suit was brought to recover the difference be- tween the price agreed to by the de- fendant company and the amount real- ized by the sale to Miller. The de- fense was that the tobacco was not up to the condition in the contract, and, therefore, could not be a'^cepted. It was also contended that Killinger never advertised a sale of the tobacco when it was disposed of to Miller. W^hen Ccjurt met before Judge Lan- dis on Tuesday morning the jury in the case of W. T. Killinger against L. P. Kimmig & Co. returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the sum ot $.139.94- J<^lin E. Malone for plaintiff and W. U. Hensel for defendant. Jacob Stroebel, representing the Miami Valley Leaf Tobacco Co., of Dayton, O., was a visitor in the trade here last week. H. B. Cochran, representing the lithographic firm of Petre, Schrrlidt & Bergman, of New York, and Samuel Kaufman, with Wm. Steiner, Sons & Co., also New York lithographers, were making the rounds of the trade here last week. C. F. Steiner, of Akron, is now plac- ing on the market a new brand of ci- gars, with which he is meeting with encouraging success. John Zudrell, formerly engaged in the cigar manufacturing business at Eph- rata, has rented his factory building to Paris Hildebrand, of Reading, who expects to employ a good number of cigarmakers. John Slater & Co., have been having a good run of business on their various stogie products during the past few weeks. Mr. John F. Hare, of that firm, has gone to Mt. Clements for the bene- fit of his health. He has been a se- vere sufferer with rheumatism, and his visit to Mt. Clements, it is hoped, will prove highly beneficial to him. TRADE NEWS OF YORK COUNTY. Tariff Uncertainty Hinders Business Re- vival. Hanover Factory Burned. York, Pa., May 3. The receipts from the sale of cigar and other stamps at the internal reve- nue office in this city during April amounted to $68,000. The sales of the office during the corresponding month of last year totaled $71,000, or $3000 more. The March receipts this year were nearly $74,000. The decreased business is attributed to the uncertainty of the Tariff bill. During the month licenses were granted for the opening of 17 cigar factories, in which 106 hands are to be employed. Several of the new fac- tories will be located in and about Red Lion. The largest number ot persons will be given employment by D. J. Dehoff at Halam. During April, 1908, licenses were granted for only five cigar factories, to give employment to 26 persons. Two tobacco manufactories were opened, however^ that gave em- ployment to 100 persons. Last month's licenses, location ot their factories and the number of hands to be employed are as follows: Carvin E. French, Red Lion, R. F. D. No. 3, 10 hands; E. B. Kinard, Craley, 3 hands; D. J.

Entered at the Philadelphia Post Office as Second Class Matter, ki PHILADELPHIA, MAY 5, 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS The conditions of the local leaf t«v bacco market remain unclianged and only a very moderate amount of busi- ness has been done. True there has been some intjuiry made for goods, but manufacturers seem to keep finding enough old stock on hand to keep them g<»ing, and under existing condi- tions they are not inclined to make large purchases of goods for future use. There has not been even a speciali- zation of a particular type of leaf. It very often occurs, when there is a gen- eral dullness of trade, that there is a certain kind of leaf that manufacturers become interested in and some busi- ness results in consequence. At pres- ent there is not even that much activ- ity. The Sumatra market has also been rather quiet during the past week. A few lots of small quantities only have been sold. Prices, of course, are well maintained, particularly for the new goods. The Havana market is nf)t materially changed, and there seems to have been a little business in this type of leaf. It is now regarded as doubtful whether the output of cigars for the month of April in this district wilt show up as well as the preceding months «)f the present year so far did, because it seems that there is a more pronounced dullness among some of the State factories than there had been. One thing is certain, the out- put will come principally from the larg- er establishments, as nearly all of the smaller factories are feeling a greater depression than the largely operated establishments do at present. Mail or- ders are not as strong as they have been, and traveling salesmen now out also report that it is with difificulty or- ders are secured for any volume of business at all. The sections of the country which some good-sized orders had been coming from seem to have also fallen back and are not now or- dering as many goods as they have been heretofore taking. Local retailers are also complaining of a slow business. Even the better weather conditions of the present week do not seem to help a great deal in attracting customers. All along they have been figuring on an improvement as soon as the open-door season ar- 12 rived, but it seems they have been doomed to disappointment. Vmx trade seems to be slower than it was before the advent of fair days, and individual purchases are invariably only for a few cigars. The leaf tobacco firm of D. Pareira & Co. is reported in financial difficulty, and a receiver has been appointed by the Court, which named Mr. Alfred Mayer, who has an oflfice in the Drexel Building and is well known to the trade here. The extent of the liabilities and of the amount of assets is not yet fully known. It is variously estimated, how- ever, that the assets may amount to in the neighborhood of $iooo and the liabilities to about $(xxx). The exact figures can not be known until an appraisetnent has been made. Of course, there are certain tobaccos which have been hypothecated, and these cannot be released unless the re- ceiver sees fit to put up an amount of money which will repay the advances made on them. Of course, if there should prove to have been any equity over and above the loan the bankrup» estate will receive the same. In speaking of Mr. Pareira, the sen- ior member of the firm, the writer was informed that he would go into bank- ruptcy. He did not expect to enter business again, but said he thought it likely that he would take a position as leaf salesman, probably with a New York house. Duncan & Moorehead are showing the trade a new line of recently-import- ed La Mercantile cigars, which are made up in numerous sizes and of ex- traordinarily nice workmanship, and they are offering them at a price which the dealers say is surprisingly low. Sam Greenwald, who has been for several years at 107 Chestnut street, has transferred his operations to 5 Mar- ket street, formerly oi)erated by B. F. Batten. Some exterior alterations are soon to be made and the general ap- pearance changed, with a view to mak- ing it one of the most attractive stores in that busy section. J. Harvey McHenry, of Arthur Ha- gen & Co., last week made a flying trip through the State of Pennsylvania in company with Marcus Feeder, of the Marcus Feeder Cigar Co., of Cleve- land. O. He reports having met with ciicourai^ing success, and that the Feed- er line of gf)ods was placed with :i lar.i^e number of wholesale houses who had not heretofore been carryinj^ the ii' M )(ls. Jacob Trobel, representing tfi<^' ^1'' ami Valley Leaf Tobacco Co.. of Day- ton, O.. was spending some days in this city. He was showing a superior line of Ohio tobaccos, and it is reported that he effected a fair number of sales. Ililbronner & Jacobs, on North l^ighth street, arc very busy at present, employing a more than ordinarily large force of cigarmakers, and shipments are going steadily out each day. They regard present prospects as good. Stock of the new United Cigar Stores Co. is to be offered in this city through a local brokerage firm. The company was recently incorporated with a capi- tal of $10,000,000. I. G. Weinberg, with S. Weinberg, leaf dealers, returned recently from :•. trip through Eastern Pennsylvania, covering yuakertown. Bethlehem, .\1- lentown and other points. The Charter Cigar, made by E. M. Schwartz & Co.. is receiving consider- able attention in this city, and is c<')m- ing to the front (|uite nicely, we are told. It i> really a high-grade nickel jiroduct. Lewis P.renier's Sons received this week fr( '11 Culn. per steamer Havana, 142 bales of Havana tobacco. This is one of the larges; lots of leaf that has arrived here fi r several weeks from I lavana. Henry G. Alces. with Simon Batt & Co.. was in t.'>wn last week, show'ing his line 01 clear Havana cigars. Mr. .\lces is always well received by his Philadelphia friends. Robert Boyce & Bro., at Thirteenth and Walnvit streets, fancy grocers, who have also been cigar purveyors, have failed. Just what disposition will be made of the business is not yet known. The United Cigar Stores Co. stand at Broad and Walnut streets is offered for rent. The fixtures are being remov- ed to the store at Fifth and Market streets. TRADE MARKS REGISTERED.

For • Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers a ■ I A Suction Table that Will Reduce the Cost of Your Production Liberman Mfg. Co., 812=814 Winter St. RHILADELPHIA 14 It was only by the energetic work of firemen that the flames were kept from spreading across the alley to the cigar factory of Jesse Frysinger. Business is reported to be somewhat improved with several of the McShcr- rytown factories, although there is not yet the activity which the factories there are so' well accustomed to. C. E. Mattingley & Co. report that their business has been fairly good so far this year until during the past two weeks, when there seemed to come a lull in the demand for cigars. Several others, however, report that they are now beginning to receive a few more orders than had been coming their way for some weeks. The (jperations of the Imperial Cigar Co., of McSherrytown, are to be great- ly extended, and it is hoped that a large force of cigarmakers will soon find employment there. The enterprise is headed by S. J. Johns, the well- known tobacco man, and who has se- cured the service of Thomas James, a well-known New York salesman, and who some years ago did a big business for Mr. Johns. Charles Buzby has been retained as foreman of the fac- tory, and Mr. Blaine Johns, a son of S. L. Johns, is also associated with his father in the enterprise. It is stated in Hanover that a cigar manufacturer recently suffering a heavy loss by fire is offering a settlement with creditors on the basis of twenty cents on the dollar. The Sneeringer fire is the second fire of considerable loss that has oc- curred in Hanover recently. H. M. Shook, who recently opened a cigar factory at Spring Grove, is get- ting under way nicely and sc-cms to have elegant prosiiects ahead oi' hitn to build up a large business. II. F. Kohler, at Nashvilk-. is ])rctty well pleased with business condition.'^, and the demand for the better grade of cigars, he says, has not materially fallen off with him. it is staled that there will soon be reported the dissolution of a cigar manufacturing firm in a small town near ^'ork. which has been quite prom- inent in the trade for several years, and there is much regret that the firm will not continue as before. 1).

Gable, of Windsor, recently received some good-sized orders for his product, and it has had a good effect on the townspeople of Windsor generally. W. A. Lahr, of Red Lion, returned at the end of last week from a business trip to New York, during which time he booked some good-sized orders for goods, and which will keep his fac- tory in running order for some time.

John Dubreuil (Khedivial Co.) has added another salesman to his staff, M. Gilchrist, a new beginner in the cigarette line, who has already show- ed he can make good in any company. Mr. Dubreuil calls his crew the Big Four: they are Messrs. Warsaw, Sola- way. Kitsis and Gilchrist. The Khedi- vial Co. has a good trade here: the new 15c. Oxford tin package is a win- ner and is duplicating in great style. The alterations at Alfowich Bros.' cigar store on Hanover street have been completed and the store is now the linest on that street. The new front shows up the goods in the win- dows very prominently, and a big in- crease in business is expected very shortly. The Boston office of The To* bacco World is located at the rear of :he store, and members t)f the cigar trade are invited to call at any time to inspect the same. The Ware-Kramer Tobacco Co. is distributing a lot of advertising mat- ter featuring their Lynnhaven cigar- .'ttc. Jobbers report this bbrand as idling well. The Alunnii sliced plug, manufactur- .'d by the U. S. Tobacco Co., of Rich- mond, Va.. is duplicating nicely for a new piece of goods. This brand, al- though not advertised at all. is selling .veil on its merit. Ben AH. CIGAR TRADE IN MILWAUKEE. Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. Takes the Lederer Stock. Fair Business Reported by the Dealers Generally. Milwaukee, Wis., May i. Last week we reported that no high- er bid than the $12,000 ofYered by Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. had been made for the L M. Lederer stock, but on Mon- day Lederer was successful in having the sale postponed until Wednesday, the 2.Stli. Mr. Leopold Powell, of New York, was here and went over the matter with him, but did not seem to think it worth over the amount bid. and on Wednesday the new owners took possession. Ralph Wettstein, for- merly inventory clerk, has been made manager. Charles Engel, who has been in the store since Lederer took possession a year or so ago; will leave, probably going to Rockford, where he will join the Fay Lewis forces. Trade with the local dealers has been rcas(.nably good considering the weath- er, which has kept the streets pretty well deserted. Steve Snrman & Co. report collec- tions good and business normal. They have a display of La Javelot, of thfe Waldorf-Astoria make. The Abraham stores are doing their nsual business. To-day Joseph Fciger becomes manager of the five stores. Joe is well liked and imdcrstands the business thoroughly. C. Cass llendee has had the front of his new stand painted white, to bear out the title of the Marble Cigar Stt)re. which he adopted while in the marble store of the Baltimore lunch room. F. H. Crombie has settled down to business again after his honeymoon. lUisiness is good with him. McGuire's report the usual business. Part of their windows are being util- ized in displaying Pollock's stogies this week. John .\. Dadd & Son are giving the Little Tom a boost this week with a display in tlu- corner window. Most of the other dealers report their share of business. The local man- ufacturers are all working in full force. Kindling Co. report business good and improving right along. The If. & E. Kern factory is still running full time on the National Fad, which appears to be making more of a hit than their Dan Patch, which had a big run some time ago. A. C. Brenckle Co. are busy and report outside trade good. Among the trade visitors this week was A. Boyd Wilson, representJYig George S. Nichols with a line of im- l)orted goods. The representative of F. Garcia & Bro. also called on the local dealers. Charles Wabyick, a U)cal jobber with an office in the Casewell Block, has offered a compromise of twenty-five cents on the dollar. Gov. Johnson has vetoed the so-call- ed anti-tobacco bill, but it is report- ed that an amended bill will be pre- sented shortly. Kromp. UNITED CIGAR STORES EXPAND. New Company with $10,000,000 Cap- ital Incorporated at Albany. With a ca])ital of $10,000,000. the Corporation of United Cigar Stores was incorporated at Albany recently. Regarding the formation of the new company this statement was given out at the general office of the United Cigar Stores Co.. No. 44 West i8th street. New York: "The determination of this enterprise to practically double the number of re- tail cigar stores operated bv the com. pany throughout the countrv has made necessary the organization U^ be known as the C(.rporati..n of United Cigar Mores. To accomplish this end largely- mcrcased capital will be retpiired as vycll as an infusion of new bIo..(i in the management of the stores. ."During the last three vears of the eight years' existence of' the parent company, real estate investments in- volving many millions of dollars have l)een made, either in the outright pur- chase of desirable property or by lonft. term leases. ® '.'The incorporators in the new com- pany are: Gc«orge J.

The reading of the President's An- nual Report was next in order, and was read alternately hy President Cullman and Secretary Fox. The report, which will he found elsewhere, was received with liearty applause. After the Finance Committee had reported on the Treasurer's Report, the report was presented hy Treasurer Felix Eckerson. and showed the financial standing of the association as follows: Balance on hand.

Sr.. reported for the Arhitration Committee that the c(Mnmitte had not heen called upon to adjust any disputes. For the Insurance Committee, F. M. Dolhert rt'ad a report, and it was de- ferred for a consideration until a later session. The regular ru'es were suspended, and the election of officers; was also deferred until the conclusion of any new husiness. It was agreed that a Resolution Com- mittee, consisting of five, he appointed. The meeting then adjourned until 10 o'clock Tuesday. Total recipts $4244.48 l-^xpenditures 2085.44 Balance on hand $2169.04 John R. Young, on hehalf of the Board of Directors, reported that dur- ing the year only one meeting had heeii held, at which time the principal husi- ness was in reference to the proposed t.iriff revision, and that certain recom- mendations had heen made hy resolu- tions to the effect that the matter should be looked after by the Legislative Com- mittee in conjunction with the presi- dent of the association. Tiie report was accepted. Chairman liijur, of the Legislative Committee, announced that there was no report hy that committee beyond what had been presented in the presi- dent's annual message. At this juncture Mr. Young asked for the floor, and it precipitated .some lit- tle di-^cussion as to that privilege, but Mr. Young won his point. He wanted to know what had been done by the Legislative Committee and why no specific report was made by that com- mittee. He could not ascertain, and the members of the association did not know. He referred to the fact that I't the meeting of the Board of Directors certain instructions had been given the Legislative Committee, particularly re- garding the resolution then adopted, which was to the effect that the Legis- lative Committee, in conjunction with the j)resident, should use all honorable methods of bringing about a niodifica- ticn of the tariff. Mr. Bijur replied that there had really no specific instructions come to him as chairman of the Legislative Com- mittee, and that furthermore there had been no real action taken at the last meeting of the association with refer- tnce to the tariff revision, such as was intimated in the resolution of the Board of Directors referred to, and therefore the Legislative Committee had not fail- ed to take cognizance of any instruc- tions. Had he received any instructions he would certainly have followed out the wishes of the association. This about settled the discussion, and After returning from a trip to An- napolis, the State capital, the delegates assembled in a late session at 10 o'clock P. M. at the Hotel Belvedere. President C-idlman had in the mean- time appointed the Committee on Resolutions, which consisted of the fol- lowing gentlemen: John R. Young, Philadelphia. W. J. Lucaswitz, Dayton, O. L Bijur, New Yf)rk. Benj. L. Haas, Hartford, Conn. A. B. Hess, Lancaster. Pa. Reports were called for from the committee, but none were yet in hand to present, except such as the commit- tee reported on in behalf of the meet- ing. A resolution of regret for the illness of Internal Revenue Commissioner John C. Capers was presented and adoi)ted. A resolution of thanks to the President and officers for their ener- getic work during the past year was presented and passed by a unanimous vote. A resolution urging a provision in the pending tariff revision Act to provide for the disposal of seized goods, to the effect that such goods be not sold for less than the amount of duty thereon, or that the goods shall be destroyed un* der Government supervision, or sold for export subject to bond for the faith- ful performance of the exporting to be given by the purchaser. The measure was adopted. W. L. Crounce, the Washington rep- resentative of the Association, was ten- dered a vote of thanks and was retained for the ensuing year. Continued on p. lib. E. A.

LOUIS LEASE. •United Gets Desirable Corner. Said to be Seeking Others. St. Louis, May 7. The VVcisels-Gcrhart Real Estate Company closed aiiotluT imixjrtant lease in the downtown district, leasing to the United Cigar Stores Company for a long term of years the storeroom at the southwest corner of Eighth and Pine streets. The room has a front- age of 16 feet on Pine street and 22 feet on Eighth street, and the annual rental is $3600 a year, which is con- sidered a record price in that vicin- ity. The deal was made for Max Ja- cobson, who has been conducting a •cigar store there for the past two years. He is retiring from the retail business to enter the manufacturing field. The United Cigar Stores Com- pany also purchased from Mr. Jacob- son the good-will of the business and the fine fixtures in the store. The new lessee will assume possession on May 15th. Extensive improvements are to be made, and the rear storeroom, known as 128 North Eighth street, will be subleased. The Cigar Stores Company is figur- ing on other downtown corners. There was a rumor abroad yesterday that the •company had closed a lease on the northwest corner of Seventh and Olive streets, in the Missouri Trust Building, and was to pay $18,000 a year for a space 18 by 30 feet. The property is owned by the Southern Real Estate and Financial Company, Louis A. Cel- la, president. The report could not be confirmed. It is known, however, that a Broadway firm is figuring on taking the corner of the building, while several deals for the small stores to be located on the Seventh street side of the building, through subdividing the old quarters of the Missouri-Lincoln Trust Company, are under way. BOUGHT CIGAR STORES. ©c: Wood.. Work.. L^ Wow Sues for $30,000 Damages, Alleg- ing Conspiracy. Des Moines, la., May 3. D. C. Glasser, the millionaire owner of the Glasser Tobacco Company, of Dubuque, and Chester V. Gibson, of Des Moines, were this afternoon made defendants in a sensational suit for $30,000 damages filed against them in district court by Ira D. Soper. Soper alleges that Glasser and Gib- son, taking advantage of his youth and inexperience in business, conspir- ed to cheat him in the sale of the cigar stores at 211 Fifth street and 418 Wal- THE TOBACCO WORLD nut street, and that (jlasser wrung a $: 0,000 fa'-m in Carroll county from liini by threatening to jirosecutc him f(ir embezzlement. Soper sets up that Gibsoil, in com- pliance with an agreement with Glas- ser, f:)rme(l a partnership with him, Soper, and purchased the two cigar stores from Glasser. Glasser and Gib- sen made a false inventory of the two smoke shops, Soper says, and placed their value at $14,000, when in reality they wxre worth but $1500. After the purchase Gibson stayed in the firm but five months, Soper says, and then, in compliance with the agreement with Glasser, dropped out and left the bur- den upon him. Then Glasser stepped in, Soper says, and by threatening to have him ar- rested for embezzlement, made him deed over the $10,000 farm and sign an additional note for $3000. The whole deal was a conspiracy to defraud and cheat him, he says, and has caused him damage, both actual and exemplary, in the sum of $30,000. The petiti(jn of St)per was filed this afternoon in district court by Mc- Laughlin & Shankland, attorneys. ]). C. Glasser, of Dubuque, co-de- fendant with C. V. Gibson in a suit for $35,000 damages, charging fraud and ct)nspiracy in the sale of two cigar stores, instituted by Ira D. Soper, in district court, filed a motion asking that the case be transferred from this district to Dubuque. He asserts that Gibson, who resides in Des Moines, is not a proper party to the action, but that he was made co-defendant for the sole purpose of bringing the case in the local district court. He also asks that he be awarded $75, which he has been forced to pay out in attorney fees because of the wrongful bringing of the action here. STRIKE AT P. & W. FACTORY. La Crosse, Wis.. May 6. Because they were dissatisfied with the scale of wages offered them for making three certain kinds of cigars, fourteen cigarmakers, employed by the Pamperin & Wiggenhorn Cigar Company, walked out last week, tak- ing their tools with them. The men claim they were offered a reduction in wages for making these cigars, which go to make up a special order of 100,000 from an Eastern jobbing house. The men demanded one dolla* more than the price offered by the company, and upon being refused they walked out. W. A. Wiggenhorn says the scale offered the men is on the same terms as that paid on other goods heretofore and he says the demands of the men are unreasonable. He further said that applicants are already asking for work, and the places of the strikers will be taken by other cigarmakers. ^^ 312-314-316 BROADWAY, NEW YORK Trays, Match Safes, Cigar Cases, etc. A Complete Line of Articles Specially Suited for Cigar Manufacturers STEPHEN F.

While the projected increase is only $3 per thousand, and could easily be borne by the higher priced cigars, it may how> •ever curtail the consumption of the lower priced grades, of which Eng- land has been (luite a consumer. Should the increase become a law the new duty would be equal to $2.75 per lb., while the United States, even with the 20 per cent, rebate allowed to Cuba, still charges $3.60 per lb. and 20 per •cent, ad valorem. The large indepen- dent factories seem to be still well supplied with orders, but the smallei •ones are only working moderately. H. Upmann & Co. shipped 450,000 •cigars during the past week, and the factory is working as steadily as here- tofore. Behrens & Co., of Sol and Luis Marx fame, have received some very good •orders from their sole representative ior the United States, Max Schatz, ■chiefly fine sizes. The Henry Clay and Bock & Co., Ltd., is working well. The La Co- rona factory is now established again at its old headquarters, i Reina street, the famous former Aldama palace. BUYING, SELLING AND OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST. Jose Menendez had a very gooa Aveek, as he sold no bales of leaf to several customers during the past eight •days. D. Frankel was a buyer of 600 bales of tobacco for his San Francisco fac- tory, which has risen, Phoenix-like, from the ashes of the earthquake and fire. Both partners are hustlers and tmderstand their business. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez were sell- ers of 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Charles Vogt purchased his 500 bales of leaf tobacco for his customers, the right goods and at the right prices, -within four days of his arrival, and left yesterday for his home by the steamship Havana, well pleased with his flying trip. Manuel Menendez Parra closed out 150 bales of Remedies and Partidos last week. The many friends of Don Manuel in the United States will be sorry to learn that he has been sick for the last two weeks, but it is to be hoped that his good constitution will pull him through before long and that he will regain his former health. Harry Ehrlich made some good pur- chases of leaf. Muniz Hnos & Co. disposed of 100 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Jose Gonzalez, who held the power of attorney for Gustavo Salomon & Bro., for a number of years, and late- ly was established at 114 Monte street on his own account, went to his rest, in his 70th year of age, (m Monday last, the 26th of April. He was buried the next day, and the tobacco trade was well represented at his funeral. Don Antonio Calzada has gone to Santa Clara province to look over the fields and prepare for his coming esco- jidas in Remedi»»s this year. If there should be any demand for Vuelta Abajo seed in the United States, Charles Blasco is in a position to furnish the same of the best ana legitimate quality, through his many connections in this part of the island.

A truly lethargic condition is still prevalent in the leaf tobacco trade of this city. During the past week there was practically nothing doing. That is, not among the packers. The only houses doing any business at all, it seems, are the jobbers, who have been selling some few goods, but in small lots only, to local cigar manufacturers. No immediate improvement is look- ed for in the leaf trade, because the conditions in the cigar trade are now also such that it is not expected that the manufacturers, will buy stock of any consequence until there comes a change that is favorable to them. The official revenue returns for the month of April are anything but fa- vorable. The figures show a decided falling off in the output of cigars as compared with the previous month, and what is more, it was less than the output of the month of April, 1908. Following are the figures in numbers of cigars for which stamps were sold during the respective months: April, 1909 53,746.890 March, 1909 58,196,200 April, 1908 55738,960 This shows a decrease during the month of April, 1909, as compared with the previous month, of 4,449,310. In comparison with the month of April, 1908, the decrease was 1,992,070. The representatives of the trade here who last week visited Washington and attended a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on the tariff bill, feel that they made a favorable im- pression upon that body, and believe that it will in all probability prove of some avail. The delegates who were elected to attend the convention of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association left for Baltimore this morning. It is quite likely that we shall hear a good ac- count of them and the active interest which these delegates are likely to take in the proceedings. There was a goodly number of visitors accom- panying the regular delegates on their trip. During the past week very good progress was made by the young to- bacco plants, and with continued fa- vorable weather they are likely to be ready for transplanting in good time. Farmers are very anxious to get the planting done early this year, and are Iiopeful that the weather conditions will favor them. ; The United Cigar Company, which operates the cigar factory in the lange Kinports Building at Ephrata, and Ifed been working full handed in this place, though they had shut down elsewhere, is now working four days a week, tht new schedule having g(»ne into effect last week. A number of large orders have been received since, and it is believed that the short time schedule will be only temporary. Other cigar factories in that town have been working on short time for several months.

NKW YOKK LKAF MAKKKT. The leaf tobacco market has been with'.mt much interest during the past week. Trading continues in a hand-to- mouth sort of a way and the volume of business is far from what might be de- sired, although, of course, there is con- stantly some business being done.

The output of cigars during the month of April, as shown by the sale of inter- nal revenue stamps, shows a decided falling ofif in both of the principal met- ropolitan districts. This fully verified the statements made by the manufac- turers during the month that the de- mand for goods was not lively enough porating the business which „„„ .. to warrant them m making any exten- tablished a half century ago by S.

The needs of manufacturers seem to be nil at present, yet there has been some inquiry for goods, vvhicli have thus far not resulted in sales. The cigar output for the month of April pr(jved an agreeable surprise to all. It was rather expected that a de- crease was certain to be the result of the April business, while the sales of stamps show an output of 52.517,800, which is a gain of more than 2,500,- ■000 over the month of April. 1908, al- though a decrease of 3,700,000 as com- pared with the month of March, 1909. At noon on Saturday last six hun~ • dred employes of the Theobald & Op- penheimer Cigar Company, Fourth street, below Girard avenue, were scheduled to protest against the Phil- adelphia Rapid Transit fare increase by parading, each bearing cards say- ing "I walk." When the time came, however, only about one hundred par- ticipated in the march, and among these were ten women. These walked out Girard avenue to Broad street and thence to the City Hall. By the time the procession had reached Broad and Buttonwood streets all except four of the women had drop- ped out, and the ranks of the men were getting thinner. Mi!=ls Elizabeth Ipenger, of No. 1241 Orianna street, was one of the mem- bers in the women's ranks. The turn- out was under the leadership of Isa- gard the note written in Yiddish, which was found on Victor's desk, as strong evidence against the prisoner. This il- legal will, which lay a few inches from Victor's head, was as follows: "Dear Rosensweig: I leave every- thing to you, but take care of my fam- ily. I cannot live longer." According to statements of the dead man's relatives, Victor has not written anything in the Yiddish language for ten or twelve years. The police believe that Rosensweig wrote the note for the purpose of substantiating the sui-' cide theory and possibly gaining some of the estate. The prisoner was requested to write a statement of the case in Yiddish. His writing was compared with that of the note found on Victor's desk, and the police say that it was very similar. Michael Shapiro, a brother-in-law of the suspected man, said on Sunday: "This charge against Rosensweig is all wrong. We hope to find a man to- morrow who saw Victor shoot himself at his desk. As far as I can learn this witness is highly nervous, and is afraid of being drawn into the case. But we will get him regardless of his feelings in the matter, because my brother-in- law's life may be saved by his testi- mony. We will be able to prove by persons in the neighborh«x)d that Vic- tor was in depressed spirits for sev- eral days prior to his death. We know one man in particular to whom Vic- tor complained of his business affairs. He told this man that he needed $10,- 000, and was at a loss as to how to get it. In regard to the note found on Victor's desk, we will prove that he frequently wrote in the Yiddish lan- guage." Special Notice.

Mr. Youn^, cliainnan df tlu' Resolu- tion Comniittoc. iiivitcd resolutions fromindividuals or (lelogatcs. Mr. Mack, of Chicago, submitted a complaint of an article which had ap- peared in a trade pai)er and which con- veyed a wrong impression regarding the attitude of the Chicago trade with reference to the tarit'f measure and the Philipi)ine clause. lie was. however, referred to the Journalistic Committet. This, so far as could be ascertained, was the only complaint of any kind that the Journalistic Connnittee was or \\\\\ be cal'ed upon to investigate and report upon for the past year. Mr. Taussig arose and said: "I wouldn't say nothing. 1 want to sug- gest that we should report insurance })aid and loss sustained during the past five years, so as to provide the Insur- ance Committee with certain data, and that it be reported by the various local secretaries to the chairman of the In- surance Connnittee." The action wa.-^ adopted. At the suggestion of I. L. Kemper, a cablegram was directed to be sent to Ferd Cranz expressing the regret of the Association at his absence. The meeting was then adjourned un- til 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. TIJESDAY MORNING SESSION The morning session of the conven- tion was called at lo o'clock, when the meeting jiromptly resumed business. INSURANCE COMMITTEE REPORT. Further consideration of the report of the Insurance Connnittee was taken np. and some discussion ensued, with the result that a special committee of three was appointed who are to confer with local boards with a view to hav- ing inspected such premises as mem- bers may desire.

This resolution was adopted. Five and Ten Clrfar Packadea. Resoived, That the Ways and Means and Finance Committees of Congress be requested, in connection with the pending revision of the revenue laws, to thoroughly the interests of the varied industries of the country as related to the matter of tariffs, and to recommend to the President and Congress of the United States from time to time such changes as to them shall seem pertinent and advantageous; and be it further — Resolved, That in the future it is to be the sense of this Association that the executive officers of the National Cigar Leaf Association shall take no action toward tariff revision of any kind until such action be directed by a three- fourths vote in convention assembled. The Dock Weldht Law. The withdrawal measure was again endorsed by the adoption of the follow- ing resolution: Resolved, That the Association re- aftirni the position already taken in op- l)ositi( n to the present dockweight law, and instruct the Legislative Connnit- tee to eiifleavor to have incorporated in the new tariff law an administration provision authorizing the assessment of fluty (Ml the withdrawal weight of im- ported merchandise. Concenlratlve Tobacco Rate. The Transportation Committee was instructed to endeavor to effect a con- centrative rate from the railroads of tobacco-growing States similar to those now existing in Wisconsin. Cuban Rrclprocity. The matter of handling the possi- bility of a further Cuban Reciprocity Treaty was effectually done by ad(jpting the f(»llowing: Resolved. That we recommend that Cuban tobacco imported into the United States be appraised and classi- lied at the original point of shipment, and duties be levied on that appraisal and classification. It was decided that the Insurance Connnittee prepare and have printed a full report of their views and recom- mendations, and circulate the same among the members of the Association. Chairman Dolbeer. of the Insurance Committee, stated that infortnation se- cured revealed the fact that the losses on tobacco risks in twenty years had amounted to only i per cent, of the amount of premiums paid. The meeting adjourned at 12.15 o'clock, to reconvene at 2.30. THE AFTERNOON SESSION The Philippine Measure. W' hen the afternoon session convened the consideration of a resolution bear- ing on the Philippine question was taken up. This brought out the fact that there was not a unanimous opinion, and that some dissensions were imminent, bnt a full discussion only fr)llowed when a resolution was formally presented. Remarks were made on the resolution offered by Messrs. Lucaswitz. Reeder, Taussig, Mitchelson, Hess and Bijur, and it was finally adopted by a vote of 26 ayes against 19 nays. The resolution is as follows : Whereas, It is our firm conviction that the proposed free entry of certain quantities of Philippine cigars and to- bacco as provided in the pending tariff bill would be of no permanent practi- cal advantage to the Filipino manufac- turers or growers because of the prf»« posed ultimate independence of the is- lands, but would work serious injury to the industry in the United States; and — Whereas, The President of the United States stands committed to the l)roposition that the tariff concession referred to shall be granted; and — Whereas, It is of the highest impor- tance that the pending tariff bill should die disp(»sed of at the earliest practi- cable date, to the end that the business of the country may be speedily relieved of the harmful agitation from which it has suffered for many months; there- fore, be it — Resolved, That we reiterate our op- position to any concession on Philip' pine products, but recognizing the force of existing conditions, the officers ot this Association be directed to concen- trate their efforts to secure the great- est possible reduction in the quantity of cigars and tobacco to be imported free of duty, such importations unques- tionably constituting the most serious menace involved in the Philipjiine ques- tion. ? 6 t -J • THE TOBACCO WORLD Thanks to Baltimore. There was some excitement, of ccHirse, but it (|uickly faded away, and then Chairman ^'oung. of the Resolu- tion Committee, announced that the committee desired to i)resent a resolu- tit)n of thanks to the Baltimore Hoard for jirovitliiu' so enjoyable an occasion, which was adopted by a rising vote. F>rK(TM)\ OF OFFICKHS. Immetliately that it was announced that the electi( n of oflicers was in ol- der, Mr. Hess, of Lancaster, Pa., arose and in an almost verbatim repetition of his nomiiriting remarks last year again presented the namt* of Josenh F. CuU- man, Jr. The speech and the nomina- tion were greeted with hearty app'ause, the romirations were declared closerl and the Secretary was instructed to cast a unanimous ballot for Joseph F. Cullman. Jr.. to succeed himself as President of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association. Mr. Cullman accepted the action of the c )nventi( n. and ex])ressed his ap- l)reciation of the confidence placed in him as an evidence of the apparent good will of the entire trade. In (piick succession John laun, ot Cincinnati, was also elected Vice-Presi- dent, and Felix Eckerson and Charles Fox re-elected Treasurer and Secre- tary, respectively.

The program was an almost continu ous round of pleasure, extended in that true spirit of hospitality which is so characteristic of the Baltimorean. The following was the First Session ID A. M.

Fourth Session At call of President — Adjourn at pleasure. Banquet, May nth Belvedere Hotel, 7 P. M. db The entertainment provided for thfc guests was begun at I (j'clock en Mon- day, when the guests were conveyed by trolley (special cars) from Hotel Bel- vedere to the fo(jt of Calvert street, where they boarded the steamer La- trobe for Annapolis. A session of the convention had been scheduled to be held on board the steamer, but it was found that the members were t{)o deep- ly interested in the sights of the trip, and not wishing to disturb their thor- ough enjoyment the President did not call a sessi(jn. It was subsequently shown that nothing had been really lost by the intermissi(jn, which was fully marie up for by the more energetic work upon the return from the trip and during the next day. The trip was a ftature of this year'.s meeting that will be long remembered, and it will be talked of for weeks. There were refreshments in plenty^ and a party of colored musicians en- livened the (jccasion. In fact, they I^roved themselves a veritable minstrel troupe, with songs and dances. Nor was there any lack of other forms of amusement. Immediately after landing at Annapo- lis, which was about 4 o'clock, the party proceeded directly to the grounds of the Naval Academy, where the guests thoroughly enjoyed witnessing a drill of the middies. Privileges to art unusual degree were extended to the visitors by the officers in charge of the t-^rounds, and after a visit to the armory they were shown through Bancroft Hall, where the remains of John Paul Jones now rest prior to removal to their final resting place in the chapel, a new building now being completed. Having .taken in as many points o^ interest as the time would permit, the party assembled at 7 o'clock at the Carvel Hall (of historic associations), where an elegant dinner was served in. true Maryland style. At 8.30 the party was conveyed by electric train to Baltimore and thence by trolley to the Hotel Belvedere, where a short business session was held, as reported elsewhere. That the trip was most thoroughly enjoyed will be attested by all who had the pleasure of participating. Special mention is deserved by the committee in charge. ] The Banquet & Reception f As the time drew near for the ex- pected banquet the lobby of the Hotel Belvedere gradually filled with the guests, most of whf)m. except members of the local trade, were guests of the house, until it finally became almost overflowing. After being assigned to their places the orchestra played "America" and all arose. Immediately after the comple- tion of the song there was a vociferous outburst of applause, and it was with some difficulty that those gathered around the festive board were quieted while Mr. I. L. Kemper, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, made a few remarks and introduced several specially invited guests of the evening, the first of whom was Hon. J. Barry Mahool, Mayor of the city of Balti- more. The Mayor made few, but highly pleasing, remarks, and was followed by William F. Stone, Collector of the Port at Baltimore, whose remarks were also heartily applauded. The orchestra struck up "Maryland, My Maryland," and the audience arose and joined in the chorus. The progress of the banquet was in- terspersed by choruses of popular song which were joined in by the banqueters, and not a few of the songs were led by the versatile W. J. Sneerimger, Jr. 13 For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes, go to „ ?.°i"^'i!l,''*^J?" Monroe D. Sellers, KEYSTONE CIGAR BOX CO., SELLERSVILLE, PA.

With the dinner completed. Chairman Kemper ann )unced the completion of liis part of the program, but that the end was n n yet. And, truly, it was not, for he turned the affair over to Mr. Samuel Ueaiham. chairman of enter- tainment at the banquet, and by whom it was introduced. Vaudeville Programme 1. Overture 2.

The room, of oblong shape, was beset with a series of tal)les seating six persons, each decorated with candelabras and vases of carna- tions. At the front was a good sized stage, well elevated and peculiarly suit- ed to the purpose. A banner had been suspended in front of the curtain bear- ing the sign "National Cigar Leaf To- bacco Association. Baltimore. 1909," while over the door was the city coat of arms, draped with the city colors. ,-c^,^:^^^ O^^^^^ THE TOBACCO WORLD I. L, KEMPER Chairman Enlerlainment Commillee lialtimore has set a new pace, inas- much, as it has carried into practical ef- fect a contind(jus perfonfiance act. The arrangements throughout were superb, and not a moment of time was lost. Every minute was made to count for something. It is doubtful if ever before in the history of the trade so much ac- tual business and s(j much actual pleas- ure was crowded into so short a length of time, and while, as we are informed, it was all done by Cf)nnnittec or team work, the casual observer could not fail to feel that the Baltimore trade had simply resolved itself into a committee of the whole for seeing to it that things were done. The result of it all was sunple and practicable perfection. THK MK\ WHO DII>' IT. Hiiltiiii«»re liKUi* l-euf AM»*o<'liitli»«. A. W. Gieske. President. John I )ellevie.' Vice-President. Wm. J.

The following is an argument pre- sented to the Senate Finance Commit- tee at a hearing recently given to the tobacco trade. The presentation was made by A. B* Hess, president of the A. B. Hess Cigar Company, Lancas- ter, on behalf of the Lancaster manu- facturers: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Finance Committee: **In this hearing we have the honor to directly represent the cigar manu- facturers of one of the great cigar manufacturing States. Pennsylvania aktne manufactures apprijximately two billion cigars annually, which is about one-quarter of the total annual output of one of the greatest industries of our country, and which annually manu- factures under normal trade conditions over eight billion cigars. The total value of this product being about three hundred and lifty million dollars, and for which we pay in wages alone over seventy-five million dollars, and ct)n- tribute toward the maintenance of our Government an internal revenue tax of over twety-five million dollars annu- ally. "This great industry has been built up and is maintained under a protec-" tuc tariff. Prior to 1863 the cigar manufacturing industry of this coun> try was practically nil. Nearly all the cigars consumed here were made in and imported from Germany. At that time, all told, less than three thou- sand people were employed in the cigar-making trade in the United States. To-day we give employment to one hundred and twenty-five thou- sand skilled mechanics, and employ in and about our factories over two hun- dred thousand American citizens, rep- resenting i»ne million human beings who are dependent upon the cigar in- dustry for a livelihot)d. "The cigar manufacturers have suf- fered greatly during the present period of industrial depression, and in many instances we have kept our workmen employed despite the fact that our stock rooms are crowded to the limit with cigars for which there is no mar- ket in sight. "The trade has already and is now sufTcring the effect of anticipated hos- tile tariff legislation. We have been promised adequate protection to the industries of our country, and we fail ' to see why the Congress should en- deavor to avoid its pledges in this di- rection. "Remove the duty from the cigars imported frtjm the Philippine Islands, and just t(j that extent you curtail the production of cigars in this country, displacing American workmen, who under normal trade conditions are em- ployed in the production of these cigars. "Owing to the enormous difference in the wages paid in this country and the Philippine Islands, and the differ- ence in the cost of raw material, light, fuel, rent, etc., the ability to success- fully ccjnipete with the Philippine Isl- ands on a free trade basis in cigars is l)ositively out of the question. The difference in wages alone amounts to one dollar or more per day, to say nothing of the advantage they possess in the way of cheap raw materials and other favorable means of production. "We have shown that the cigar in- diistry has grown to its present mag' nificent proportions, and given employ- ment to two hundred thousand people, with an annual disbursement to the wage-earner alone of seventy-five mil- lion dollars, and a revemie to the Gov- ernment of twenty-five million dollars under a protective tariff. We earnest- ly protest against legislation, of which we are not only firmly convinced, but about which there can be no dispute, that it will have a disastrous effect on this great industry, and without any resultant good to the people of our country in general. "The cigar mainifacturers of this country have invested upwards of one hundred million dollars and expend an- nually for raw material alone seventy- five million dollars. We respectfully submit that legislation destructive to the l)est interests of this great indus- try merits your careful attention. We cannot com.uete on a free trade basis, even to a limited extent, with the PIiilii)])ine Islands. Upon this point the cigar manufacturers, the tobacco growers, the leaf tobacco dealers, and the working men and women employ- ed in this industry, are united in their opposition to the transfer from the United States to the Philippines of that industry — from a generally prosperous business and fairly paid labor to the competition of the cheapest workers in the world."

Senator Beveridge spoke in support of an amendment offered by him rehi- tive to the internal revenue tax on to- bacco and its products, in the Senate to-day. Contending that the Government has lost $184,000,000 in the last eight years through the report of the wartime tax of 1898, Mr. Beveridge undertook by this amendment to increase the present rate of internal revenue taxes on to- bacco, snufF. cigarettes and cigars worth more than 10 cents. Mr. Beveridge de- clared that the T(-)bacco Trust, which, he said, was the American Tobacco Company, had derived great benefit from the enormous loss of revenue which, he said, was due to the law re- pealing the increased rate of 1S98. The law prcn'iding for the high rates of 1898 permitted the manufacturer to reduce the size of packages in which the tobacco is sold to the people, according to Mr. Beveridge. "In igoi. this in- creased tobacco tax was removed," he said, "but the short weight package of tobacco were continued by the very law that removed the tax. The manufac- turer still collects the wartime tax from the people, but instead of paying it to the Gcn'ernment he keeps it for him- self." Mr. Beveridge declared that his amendment would not affect the cigar- makers of the country because, he said, it does not enhance the tax on any cigars except those which sell for 10 cents or more. His amendment increases the present tax of 6 cents a pound on snufF to 12 cents a pound. On smoking and chew- ing tobaccr) the rate is increased from 6 cents a pcjund to 9 cents. On cigarettes the proposed rate is $1.50 a thousand on those selling at wholesale from $2 to $4 per thousand. On those selling from $4 to $8 per thousand the tax proposed is $3 per thousand and on cigarettes sell- ing at over $8 a thousand the tax is in- creased from $1.08 to $4.50 per thou- sand. On cigarettes selling under $2 per thousand the present tax is 54 cents per thousand, and the war rate of $1.50 per thousand is restored. A graduated scale is proposed for the tax on cigars.

Our more immedi.ite interest, however, concerns the application of the bill to the sale of cigar leaf tob.acco and its manufacture into cigars. As to the menace to our trade iintdvttl in the (iaines bill, I can perhaps make no tdearer statement than In the fol- lowing extract from the argument which I had the honor to present to the Senate Finance Committee : For many ye.ars the internal revenue au- thorities have founil it necessary to close- ly supervise the handling of leaf tobacco from the time it leaves the grower until the tax IS paid thereon, and the present Internal revenue laws ami regulations pro- vltle an idaborate systiui for this iiurpose, iiK lulling tlie keeping of costly r«HM»rds by every leaf ih'aler and manufacturer in the country. An important exception is made by these laws in favor of the grower, who may sell his tobacco not only to a consumer or to .a tlealer. but als»> to a manul.icturer. without making .any record whatever of the transaction. Tht internal revenue officials li.ave fountl this exemp- tion in favor of the grower to be n con- stant miMiace to the revenues, for If an un- scrupulous manufacturer of cigtirs, for ex- ain|de, desires to dispose of n part of his product without iiayliig tax thereon he can easily force a balance in his material account by buying direct from a grower 11 Our Capacity for Manufacturing Cigar Boxes is— ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE GOOD CUSTOMER Monroe D.

The arguments of our growers, pat .vers ami manufacturers before the Ways aiitl Means Committee In lOtC) were along these lines. It was then that our Association took the stanil that if .sonm concessions were, to be grantetl we should be guarilt-tl against further tiemorallzatlon than the free atlmissltm t»f a limited Impor- tation would subject us to. W^e have con- sistently malntaineil such an attitude and have been able to make the justice of our position prevail. Ntitwithstantling the fact that during the hearing on the tobacco sclit-tlule last Nt> vemln-r the Ways .ind .Means Committee gavt- us no Intimation whatever of their intention to de:il witli the l'hili|ipiiie tpu-.s- tltni In the general t.iiilT bill then umlt-r consider.itlon. when the measure was made pul lie It w.is fonntl that a provlsitni hail been l:ic irjioi ateil authorizing the free entiy of :{IM».(»M) poumls of wranper lear, 8,()0(KO(M> poumls of tillers and l.'AOOrt.OOO cigars. Admitting for the sake of argu- ment that an additional outlet for the manufacturing Industry in the Philippines Is tlesirable. It Is at once apparent that the limitations prescrlbeii by the House prtivision are out of all prtiptirthui to the magnitude t>f the trade of the islands and completely iliscretlit tht- of t-rept ated con- tention of the champions of the I'Mlipinos that the tobacco intlustry of the archipel- ago, owing to the llmiteii area suitable ft»r the fultlvatlon of leaf ami tt) the great scarcity t)f labor, can never hope to greatl.v exceed the present vtdume of production." The jiropi^sltlon to jidmit to the CnittMl States tin- tinantlties of leaf tobacctt spec- ified in tht- Houst- bill is directly antago- nistic to the Intert-sts of the cigar man- ufactu: CIS of the Phlll))plnes ami has causeil them to iirtdest In high otHcial quarters. In my last annual rept>rt I stated that the leatllng ilealers In Manila bad advlsetl the Commissioner of InttMiial Revenue t)f the Philippines that they cotdd sell much larger quantltit-s of cigars "to con- sumers within the Islamls If It were prac- ticable to have their orders tilled more promptly by the local factories, while the manufacturers' sole comiilaint was tha% they conltl not obtain the necessar.v leaf in view of the competition of the leaf ex- porters. I am now able to quote the last annual report tif the Commissiont>r for the yt-ar V.H)H. in which he state.-t that "for the past seven years the demand for leaf ttdiacco .suitable for the niiinufactuie of cigars for export has excet-detl the sup- ply." It is obvious, thert-fore. that the Ktile effect tif provltling a frt>e market In the liiltetl States for a considerable quan- tity t>f the best wrappers anil tillers will be to enhai.ce the cost of such leaf to the I'hil- ippim« I Igar manufacturer, an Injuiions ten- dency which can only be fully .ippreclated b.v those who luive had practical expt-ri- ence in tlie manufacture and marketing of cigars.

Is so illogical as to be tlifticult of projier charm te uat ion. In consitlering the elTect •f this provision. 1 am confrontt-tl by the nntlenlable fact that the (Jovernment ex- perts aie tliaint-trically ojiposed to eacli «tht-r on this |itiiiit. I am informed tliat the experienced collector of customs at Manila expresses the opinion lh.it few. If an.v, cigars will be shipped to the I'lilted States, ami that the chief result of the concession will be an iinptntant incre;i.se in the price which the .Manila manufacturers can st-- eure botii at home and in their Oriental marktts bt t-ause of the fact that the ports of the I'lilteil States ait- ojien to all gotuls that cannot be sold on a satisfactor.v l)asis» elsewheit-.

I am strongly Inclined to believe that the Ctim- nilssloner t>f Internal Uevenue Is correct In his assumi)tlon that an open market In this country will soon attract maximum impor- tations ami that our manufacturers must prepare to meet this competition, which, in tht- nattire of things, will probably be most strongly ft-lt by the tlomestic pro- tlncers of clear Havana gooils t>f the me- tllum anil lowt-r gratles. because of tlie ftr- t-ign and tropical origin of the leaf of which the prosiiectivt- Importations will be com- po-J'-(l. these considerations In mlml. your iinmetllately upon the pnlilicatiin House tariff liill, toi>k up with the lt-:iders and with the spt-cial rt-p'e- the administration in Philip- tlie ilesl:alii;ity of curtailing With otticers of the Senate sentatlvt-s of jilne affairs tht- limitations placetl on free Imports o to- liacco prodiicis and the necessity for jno- viiling s.ift gtiartis to prt>veiit the im|iorta- tion of got tls matle In part, at least, of tobaccos grown else,\hi-re than In the Phil- ippine Islamls.

The State Committee, in the first place, reduct-tl the limitation on the free Imptirts of fiUeis from .'?,00;) poumls. In the secontl place, the Semite bill spe- cifically provides that "the aforesaid ex- emptions of tob.icco ami t-lgars from dut.v shall be, time effective when and continue only so long as there shall be levied, col- li ctetl ami paid ur>on tobacco and cig.irs Importeil Into the Phlllpiiine Islands from any ftireign country the same duties as are retpiired by this act to be levied, col- lectetl ami paid upon tobacco and cigars importeil into the I'lilted States from any foreign country." The Importance of this provision will be fully apprt-ciateil when It is remembeied that the present tarilT on leaf tobacco entering the Phillpiiines. whetht-r wrappers or fillers, is but liJi/i cents pt-r jionnd. which wonld enable tht' Manila cigar manufacturers to Import the best gratle t»f Sumatra wrajipers at less than tuie-clghth the duty levletl upni the same goo;Is when Imoortetl into the Initeo States. The t)tncials of tht> Hnreau of In- sular Aff.iirs have been prompt to recug- nlze the necessity of this safcgnai'd ami have incorporated In a bill providing a new taillT l.iw for tht- Philippine Islamls, I.

The Senate bill also provliles th.-it all Plilllpidne cigars im- jiortetl into the rnlled States shall pay the same Intt-rnal rt-venue tax as would be levieil theri-on were they manufactured here or importetl from a foreign country. While the Philippine jirovislon, even a^ fiiodlfietl by tht- St-nate (^ominlttee, is not altogether satisfactory, we shouhl not loso sight of the fact that for the past six years our Intlustry has been menacetl by absolute frt-e tratle with the Islamls, a condition that wonltl have tempted vast anitiunts of cjipital to embark upon the growing of It-af ami manufacture tif cigars in the archlpt-lago. fiootling tmr markets with the protlucts of the cheap labor t)f the Orient ami ruining our grttwers ami manu- facturers alike. It is but a short time since we were warneil. In a statement made be- fore the Ways ami Means Committee by .Mr.Taft. then Secretary of War. that we must "put tmr house In order" In prepara- tion for absolute free trade. Mr. Taft Is now President of the T'nited States, an It Is at his instance that the ct>mparatively conservative Philippine provision has been Inclutled In the tariff bill. I violate no con fltlence in saying that, in the opinion of our most loyal fricntis In Washington, its elim- ination would be followed b.v a veto of the bill which, 111 view of the unsettletl contll tions in the business community, would be little less than a national calamity. Our allies in this artluous t^anipaign, the do- mestic bet!t sugar' manufacturers, have suf- fered a far heavier blow than that sus- talnetl by us, for with a proiltictltin In the T'nltetl States of only 4G5,tMK> tons of sugar. the Philippine provision authorizes the lit-e entry of no less than :{O0.(MM> tons. Tin- value of this competitive importation is ntit less than .$18,000,000 or probably ten times that tif the exemiitetl tobacco products. The only consltleratltin that has lecontlleti the tlomestic sugar producers to this out- come is the fact that It means an entl t . the long pel lotl of unct-rtalnt.v during whicli no proiiucer has been Justified in ailding a titillar to his Investetl capital or in atu-inpi ing to increase his output or extt ml hi' market. This consltlcratlon must a. so aiipl..- to us ami in view of the tlangers that we have escaped iintl of the comiiaratlvely peim.anent t-haracter of the prospective leg- IslatUm.

I'v to this tlmt- no nutlet- has been given by either of the cortracting parties ami the treaty must therefore remain in force at least" for anotln-r six months. Thtit It is llie intentrui of the leadi-rs of the House of UeiMt'seiit.it ives to ciintinue the loiiveii tlon in force Intlettnitely Is obvious f:oiii tht- provision of Seciimi t! of tlu» Himse larlff'blll to tlie effect that "nothing In this act coiitalnetl shall be so coiistruetl as to aintigate or In an.v manner Impair or tif- It-ct tlu- provisions of the treat.v t»f coai- nieiclal icclprocit.v conclntled bt-tweeii the liiittd Mates and the Kepubllc of Cuba on the 2:u\ tlay of Dect-mier.

We iiiiiy t-xpei t iji tlie iie.ir future, liow- evi-r. thiit ceitaiii forelun cimntrit-s will eii- tleavor tt* bring about tiie aiirogation o- tht- treaty with Cuba on the grouml that it enMitaliis contessioiis wliltdi we are un- willing to make to otlier countries which give us lilt- bt iiefit of tiiel;- 1 iwest tariffs and extend to us in all otlier resjiects what in the language of dliilomacy is tle- scrlbed as "the most-favoretl-nal Ion-treat- ment." In tlie new gt-neial tariff bill now pt niliiig in the St-nate there Is a provision known as the maximum an! minimum clause, the spirit of whicli Is that we will give to all nations our minimum tint ies In exclninge for iMrrespoiidlng c.nicessltini*. ami there may be some gronnti for the ct»n- tention that the continuance of the pres- ent Cuban arrangement woultl violate this lirovlslon. as we tlo not stand it-atly to give t.i all countries the special retlucllons wt- have concetled to Cuba. I am siitisfied, however, that as Cuba in an international sense Is a ward of the I'liitetl States, and as the maximum ami minininm clause of the tariff bill recognizes tin- right of ftn- eigii countries to make sjieci.al concessions to tlepentlenclt-s occupying relations simi- lar to that of Cuba to the I'lilted States, the State lu-iiart incnt will be able to de- fentl the Culiaii rt-ciprocity treaty ami pre- vent its abrogation as long as It shall seeiu advantageous to maintain it. It is among the ptissibilltit-s that Hit- present agree- ment with Cuba may be revlstvl ftir the imrpose of securing git-ater concessions In the Cuban tint Ies on certain Amt-rlcan prod- ucts, as the agreemt-iit Is now far nitire advantiigeous to the islaml than to th(- Inltt-tl States, but I tlo not t-xpect ft) see any additional concessions in the rates on Cuban products entering the United States.

When tht! Ways and Means Committee re- cently rt-ptirted the Payne Tariff bill much satisfaction was expressed at the restora- tion therein t)f the provision tif Section 10 of the Dingley Act forbidtling the p.icking tif coupons in statutory packages, but it was soon learned that the committee had Includttl this provision as the rt'sult of a cleiical eritir. the c.inriller of the bill hav- ing intendtil n-erely t:i re enact the exist- ing law. Subsetiuently tht; IIoust^ atlopted an amtntlment striking out the anti coupou clause ail'tl restoring the so-calletl (irosv^uor provision, which Is identical with the exist- ing law. I.est the action of the House li\ this regartl shoultl be taken as iutlie.-itive of the sentiment in Congress respecting antl^ coupon legLslaf Ion, I would say that I am rt-llably informetl that the House would have voted down the Grosvemir provision ami resttireil the Dliigley anti-coupon clause by an overwhelming majority but for a parliamentary complication as the result ot which Representative Tawney's tlewand for a vote by tellers w.-is ruled ufMMi a« having he«n made too late to receive considera- tion. I am glail t • state that Mr. Tawney, who has alwa.vs been a consistent champioUi tif the Indepentlents in our tratle. is in no wise discouraged by his lack of success in. securing the passage tif a well considered anti-coupon law.

These ofii< ials are now giving care- ful consltleratltin to the matter and we trust that the position to be assumetl by them will make it iiracticable to tibtiiii their co-t»peratiiin in seeking this legislation. I am advised that the titficials can see no serltius objectlfin to applying the principle descrlbetl to ttibacco prtHlucts. but Inas- niutdi as they ctinteml that any law musi apjily to t vt ry kintl of seize. 1 goods .iinl fear that in some instances heavy loss to the (Tovernmeiit would ensue, it may not be practicable to secure the atloptlon <"if the provision snggestetl until the revenue pro- tlnclng ciipatlty tif the new tariff bill has bt-eii demoiistratetl. To my mind, however, the s.'^le of merchandise seized for less than the tluty tleprlves the Government tif reve- nue on Imported merchandise which those stild at public ant tlon for less than the tluty as-t-Kstd thereim replace.

The troublesome tariff question was placed in such a way that it is no !<.n:4jj.- like \- to cause confusini. if * not possible dissension. l)y a smri.l nrijority \- de. .Also the troublesome Philii)i)ine aj^itation has been sr.fely circumvented.

Last, but not least, the si)irit of comradeship was greatly in-rerised through the royal liosjjitality of lialtimore. It is not alone in the elaborate prei)aration for the formal functions of the conventi m and br.ntpiet that this hosjjitality was manifested, but during the two (hiys in which delegates were in I'altimore there was continual entertainment at luncheons that was almost a bancpiet and in an excur- sion to the historic cajjital. etc., so that, taking into consideration the inHuence of all these factors, the delegates had full opi)ortunity to meet . i«i"ln.nf o.

Fran- kel, 1729 Seventy-fourth street, and Al- fred W. Neilson, 76 South Elliott Place, Brooklyn. F. W. Miller, leaf tobacco broker or Cincinnati, was visiting the leaf market here last week after the Baltimore con vention. Henry M. Buys, of H. Duys & Co., made considerable purchases of Suma- tra tobacco for his firm at the inscrip- tion of Friday last. -o-^::^^ The Hamilton Cigar Stores Co., of New York, has been incorporated with a capital of $20,000, to deal in cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, etc. The incorpor- ators were Joseph Deckinger, 244 East Forty-ninth street. New York; Julius Harris, 1209 Clinton avenue, Bronx, and Joseph Goldstein, 507 West I72d street. New \ ork. The Fearon Cigar Banding Machine Co., with offices at 36 East Twenty- third street, this city, has installed their new banding machines in a number of new cigar factories here, after demon- strations of their practicable working operations. It is stated that the manu- facturers are becoming constantly more interested in the utility of these ma- chines and that in a short time these will be generally in use in this city. The Emil Berger Tobacco Co. have lately received large consignments of cutting, siftings, etc. They have exten- sive contracts to supply and are always in the market for more goods at full market prices. The present offices of the Emil Ik-rger Tobacco Co., is at 127 East Twenty-third street. LITTLE DOING AT LANCASTER. E. Rosenwald & Bro. were heavy pur- chasers at the last inscription of Suma- tra, securing entire parcel of 650 bales of L. P. C. Padang Brahrang; 200 bales of Senembah My S.B., and 300 bales of Amsterdam Lankat Co. T. L., making 1150 bales in all. The inscrip- tion was attended by Benno Neuber- ger, of the firm, in person. No Movement Reported In Leaf Market. Factories are also Very Dull. Lancaster, M)ay 17. There is still little if any improve- ment in the leaf tobacco market in this city. During the past week there were no out-of-town visitors, and besides a considerable portion of the week was given over to attendance of the con- vention at Baltimore, and in which members of our trade took an active interest. The past week was very favorable to the plant beds and the young plants made good progress, and unless some unforeseen setback occurs it is yet pos- sible that the new crop may be planted rather early this year — a very desirable object. There is little talk of acreage, it being the generally accepted idea that it will be at least as large as last year, if not slightly increased in cer- tain sections. The cigar industry is, generally speaking, dull, although it is reported here that one large factory in this city last week received in one day orders aggregating 200,000 cigars, and that at least was encouraging. In the vicinity of Akron it is also reported that the industry shows .some signs of improve- ment. C. Ruppin has increased the force of cigarmakcrs, and several other factories there are working on full time. C. H. Spitzner & Son, New York leaf tobacco packers, last week issued c.\cci.Ui( n lor $305.62 against Ezra Ilackni.'Mi, of Conestoga Centre. A party of leaf men were conveyed to Baltimore last week in an automo- bile by C. A. B. Zook, son of the late J. Gust Zook. The party consisted ot Mr. Zook as host, Milton Shirk, of Stevens; H. F. Good, of this city; Ray- mond A. Heiland, with John F. Heiland & Co., brokers, and Mr. Brimmer, son of John F. Brimmer, leaf packers, of this city. A slight mishap occurred to the mach ne when the party was about passing through Manchester, Md., anil a spring snapped. Little daunted, how- ever, temporary repairs were made, and the party proceeded to Baltimore, arriving at the Hotel Belvedere some- time after midnight. The next day the machine was sent to a garage for nec- essary repairs. QUIET RULES IN YORK COUNTY. Delay of Tariff Settlement is Generally Blamed for Continued Dullness. York, Pa., May 17. Trade conditions here are still quiet and every one is waiting for further de- velopments. .\ great deal of the present dullness is attributed to the tariff agita- tion and the con equent unsettled con- ditions which necessarily result from it. Once that the tariff question becomes settled it is believed fiiere will begin a revival in the trade all around. Robert M. (.ranat, of this city, was the only member of the trade here who attended the Leaf men's convention in Baltimore last week, and undoubtedly he had a thoroughly enjoyable time. It is reported that every one had who at- tended the function. Miller Bros., cigar box manufactur- ers at Red Lion, have installed a imm- bcr of additif)nal machines in their fac- tory. Among the improvements is a d yirg kiln which has a capacity of 2500 fett of lumb.T which can be dried by this method in a very short time. The ''"Rgrcgate crsL of tl:e improvements is Ijlaced at about $15,000. Michael Hose, of the Dal'as Cigar Co., imd proprietor of the Hose Cigar B )x Factory, is making very extensive im- provements to a new residence imme- diately adjoining tliat of his father, in Dallastown, and which will make it one of the handsomest piaces in that town. Possession is to be taken about June 1st. The Imperial Cigar Co., of AkSher- rystown, has issued the following letter to the trade: •TO THE TRADE: My attention has been ra'led to the fact that throughout the Trade the cry has been and now is — where to secure Cigars of Quality — the same as were made in former years. At present the cry continues without any apparent key to the problem Until S. L. Johns, the Veteran Leaf Tobacco Dealer, who for the past two \ ears, has been operating the Imperial Cigar Factory, in McSher- r\stown. Pa., on a small scale with Charles H. Busbey as Superintendent. S. L. Johns has decided to increase his force of workmen, thereby making it possible for others to buy CIGARS OF GUARANTEED QUALITY. Fre- quently my mail contains letters from niv old customers and friends who know quality, requesting me to again return '^o manufacturing, and supply them with the old-style quality goods. I am thankful and grateful to the Trade for their confidence, and I do assure them, it will not be amiss. My motto shall be in future as in past — QUALITY. I am also pleased to state that THOS. F. JAMES, who was employed by me for 18 years, has again joined forces with my interests. You can rest assured we will put forth every effort to the renewal of our business relations by making goods that will and do duplicate. Trusting we will be ab'e to serve you in the future as we did in former year^,. we remain, Sincerely yours, S L. JOHNS." . 16 £. A.

And in fact, the dealers flrc not expecting a great deal for sev- eral weeks to c( me. c.xceptirg possibly the usual amount of routine business. The tariff question is regarded as of paramount importance and a'though it may not be decided in a way that Is favorable to the desires of the trade hero, its very sett'enu-rt is likely to help alon.:> the trade conditions at ar,y rate, and therefore it can not come any too soon. •A special meeting of the Philadelphia Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade was held last Thursday afternoon, at the broker- age office of J. S. Batroff, when a set of resolutions of regret was passed in con- sequence of the death of the late Joseph A. Bremer. The resolutions are publish- ed in full elsewhere. The meeting being attended by Messrs. Young and Eckerson, who were among the delegates representing this city at the Convention in Baltimore on Monday and Tuesday, an informal report was made of the actions of that meeting, ;ind they were complimented upon the active interest they had taken in the meeting. A. C. Weigner, a cigar manufacturer for a number of years in the business at 29th and Xevatla Streets, died last Thursday morning at the State Hos- ])ital at Xorristown, of paralysis of the brain. Mr. Weigner had been in poor health for several years, having suffered a stroke, but subsequently recovered sufficientlx to resume his, usual occupa- tion. Later he was again stricken, and was removed to Xorristown for treat- ment, but all efforts proved unavailing. He was well known in the leaf dist- rict down town as an old-time manufac- turer, and as a man of sterling integrity. The sympathy of the entire trade is ex- tended to the bereaved family. B. Lipschutz, the popu'ar manufactur- er of the 44 cigars, last week sent a gift to President Taft. consisting of a hand- some case, satin-lined, and containing a pipe made entirely of cigar leaf tobacco, the handicraft of Mr. Lipschutz. The case also contained a half elozen or more very tine cigars, in various sizes and i-hapes. On the inside of the case was inscribed the words: "To our President, Wm. H. Taft. Compliments of B. Lip- schutz, Phi'adelphia." At the same time Mr. Lipschutz alsn addressed to the President the fo'lowing letter : May 8, 1909. His Excellency, William H. Taft, President of the United States, Washington, District of Columbia. Honored Sir: — 1 am taking the liberty of sending you by express a solid tobacco pipe, capable of being smoked the same as a cigar. This pipe I have per- sonally made for you, of the very best selected tobacco, same being 16 wrapped with the largest American wrapper,, and I trust you will derive as much real pleasure in the smok- ing of it as I had in the making of ir for you. I am pleased to inform you that your ab'c administration of the high office you occupy — the real reason for our rapid recovery from the re- eent depression — is reassuring and pleasing rot only to the people of Pernsylvania. but of the entire United States. Wishing you continued success and prosperity, and assuring you that you will always have the hearty support of the writer and his many friends, workmen and fellow-citi- zens, I am Yours very respectfully, B. LIPSCHUTZ. Last week the Quaker City Cigar Manufaenuring Co.. of this city, ac- cepted the resignation of Mr. A. A. Levitt, one of their instructor-superin- tendents, who has made a promising connection with the cigar manufacturing tirm of F. B. Richards & Co.. of Bing- hamton, X. Y. Mr. Levitt maele many friends while with the Quaker City Cigar Manufacturing Co., and left them with the be.st wishes of all for his fu- ture welfare. This is not the first instance of a Philadelphian going to Binghamton and making a decided hit. The other in- stance is that of Mr. Freschie, now a member of the firm of Barnes. Smith & Co.. of Binghamton, and who was for- merly a Philadelphian, where he was associated with his father, M. S. Fres- chie, and who is still in the business in this city. We also extend our best wishes to Mr. Levitt. Antonio Roig, member of the cigar manufacturing rirm of .'\ntonio Roig & Langsdorf, at 317 north Seventh Street, this city, died at the Hotel Walton on Monday night, after a .short illness llis wife and three children were with him at the last moments. He was at- tacked with pneumonia three days ago, but his illness did not appear serious until Monday at noon. Mr. Roig was 5S years of age and known throughout the country because of his many years' C(>nnectipn in the tobacco business. We are advised that Jacob Labe, of the leaf firm of B. Labe & Sons, has ad- vised his firm that he had purchased at the Inscription held at .\msterdam. on Friday last, 200 bales of Sumatra to- liacco, which will be forwarded to Phila- delphia at one-e. The Fcarf)n Cigar Handing Machine Co., at T026 Filbert Street, announces that their new machine is now attracting widespread attention among cigar manu- facturers, and that a number of fac- tories have already adopted the use of the machine for banding cigars.

At Steve Surman & Co., Mr. Baker, ormerly with Leo Abraham, at Third nd Grand Avenue, can now be seen be- lind the cases. Collections are reported o be good. At the new stort of Fay Lewis &. iiro, Co., in the Wells Building, the Mgars have been going quite lively, ow- ng to the fact that Ralph Wettstein, in diarge, was "son" struck last Mon- lay. The new manager weighed nine xiunds. The Wright Drug Co. are now dis- )layin;i; the Julia Marlowe cigar. They eport trade in all lines quite good. At .Abraham's the Charter still hoids he pkice of hontjr in the window dis- )lay, at the Third street store, an imi- ation auto is spinning aUjng over coun- ry roads advertising that brand.

Mr. Tripp, of the American West In- lies Trading Co., was in town this week, which may account for the dis- )lay of La Flor de Alphonso, which Surman is displaying. Charles G. Cameron, of H.

One neighl>or has trans- planted a very few and will be hard at it in a week. I presume this man is not alone in having plants that will answer. Most of the tobacco land Is plowed. Aliout the average acreage will be planted to tobacco this year, and from what I have seen and heard the farmers will fertil- ize as heavily as usual, in some cases us- ing more conunercial fertilizer than ever before.

Kdgerton.— Aside from the gathering ia t)f ji few straggling lots there seems to be practically nothing doing toward lifting the rennilnlng fraction of the 11K)« crop. Warehouse handling Is yet progressing at a few of the packing points and is likely to continue until stri|))>ing Is started later. The nnu'ket for old leaf Is developing some eiK-oui-aging features. There is a better hniulry for samples, and some transactions have taken place and a num- ber of trades are under consideration that nniy lead to fair-sized deals. A 25©- case lot of '07 at .lanesvllle has changed hands, as well as a 20()-case lot among: local packers the past week. The plant beds have been making some progress during the we<»k, though the weather is yet too cool for rapid growth. The plants on the early -sown beds where properly prot«'cted seem to be showing up well. A few reports of dannige from the fre<»ze are heard, though It Is not l)e- llved the injury was general. The sea- son, however, is so late that growers think there Is time yet for the beds to be in readiness for the? llelds later on.

Business in the cigar line contiiuies to improve, and the trade in .i?cneral feels satisfied tliat tlie summer montlis business will eclipse past records. Jobbers have been exceptionally busy and were hampered a great deal this week in tilling orders. By slow ship- ments of A. T.

But Leaf Purchases Have Not Been Much Increased. Only Enough is Taken to Supply Needs Until Definite Opinions of New Crop Can be Formed. Some Sales Reported in the Country, but No Rush is Indicated. Current Gossip Among Dealers and in the Factories. Death of Don Manuel Menendez Parra. Special Correspondence of Habana, May 17, 1909. Quite a number of people have ar- rived during the past week, but busi- ness has not been very active. Most buyers have selected a few vegas, or certain classes of leaf, just to bridge them over, but their chief aim has been to gather personally all the informa- tion they could obtain in regards to the new crop. It is still to early to iorm a correct judgment about the 1909 growth, as everything now will depend upon the appearance of the leaf after it has passed the second fermentation process in the bales. One dealer here told me that in his opinion this year's crop would resemble mote closely the 1905 growth than that of any other year, while a local exporter expressed a less hopeful opinion. However, no matter what the final result may be or whose opinion will prove to have been cor- rect, there will be some fine, choice vegas, as well as some medium and poor ones. The smoking quality and the burn are considered as exception- ally good this year. Fine wrappers wil* . not be abundant, but there will be rr-nough resagos to satisfy the growing ay the farmers what they are asking. The former have learned a severe les- ion, and they cannot be frightened into buying, because Tom has been pur- chasing some lots, and Dick is trying to follow his footsteps. There will be enough leaf left over for Harry to handle. In the Santa Clara province The Tobacco World. one large packer and exporter is said to have started the ball rolling by pay- ing from $11 to $13 per quintal, but it is not likely that he will continue to pay these figures, as, according to pres- ent indications, it would result in a sure loss to pack tobacco at these prices. All the low grades will fetch only minimum prices, and it is not to be supposed that with a large crop the American buyers can be expected to pay higher figures than last year. On the contrary they will calculate upon get- ting some benefit from the abundant quantity harvested. The great stum- bling block is the excessive cost of making a bale of tobacco, and it is doubtful whether any saving in this direction can be made. Instead of continuous rainy weather, we have had dry weather with norther- ly winds during the greater part of the past week, but this abnormal tempera- ture has changed since Saturday and some good showers have fallen, so packing can become general in Vuelta Abajo and Partido during the second half of this month, while in the Santa Clara province no general activity can commence until some time in June, as the tobacco requires its 40 days of fer- mentation in the piles", SALES last week totaled 2513 bales, of which 1555 were of Vuelta Abajo. 413 of Par- tido and 545 of Remedios. For the American market 1015 bales were purchased, for export to Europe 65, and for local consumption by cigar and cigarette manufacturers 1433. EXPORTS OP LEAF TOBACCO.

HAVANA CIGAR M ANLPACTLRERS are working as previously reported, and no decided improvement can take place before August at the earliest, but unless something unforseen hap- pens there will be a good fall trade this year. H. Upmann & Company shipped 550,- ■000 cigars during the past week. The ~H. Upmann factory is busy. Max Schatz, the sole representative ■of the Sol. and Luis Marx brands in the United States, is now making a trip over his territory, and as he is known as a crack salesman, and has a host of friends, he will doubtless send to Behrens & Company a large num- ber of orders, not only from an ex- tensive old clientele, but also from new customers. Sol. cigars are famous for their uniform, fine quality. BUYING. SELLING AND OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST. Bruno Diaz & Company sold 553 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido dur- ing the last two weeks. Angel Cuesta, of Cuesta, Rey & Company, Tampa, has purchased close on to 1000 bales of old and new tobacco since he has been here. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez were sellers of 255 bales of Vuelta Abajo. S. Ruppin made one of his regular flying trips to Havana, which never "take over ten days or two weeks at the most. He arrived on the 12th instant and left again on the i6th by the S. S. Havana, accompanied as usual by Mrs. S. Ruppin. His purchases this time did not aggregate more than 300 bales, as it was rather too early iov the new crop. Rz. Bautista & Company disposed of 245 bales of Remedios. B. Diaz & Company will open their excellent large escojida at Alquizar to- day, and it will give them from 2000 to 3000 bales this year. M. M. Calzadia & Company sold 200 bales of Partido and Remedios last week. Jorge y P. Casteneda have not yet got started on their famous San An- tonio de los Banos packing, and as they have sold out their entire stock of last year's crop, they have nothing to sell just now. Planas & Company closed out 150 bales of Remedios to a local cigarette factory, the last remnant of the 1908 packing, but they still hold some fine Partido and Vuelta yXbajo. Juan Alonso, of Santiago de las Ve- gas, is finishing his escojida at his fine "La Catalina" farm, which has yielded between 250 and 300 bales this year. Luis Marx has sold no bales of wrappers to an American manufacturer. A. Pazos & Company issued a cir- cular, dated May ist, notifying the trade that Don Juan Pino (formerly owner of the famous La Africana factory) has been admitted as a general partner, and that Don Jesus Vasquez and Manuel .\. I'assarate will sign by power ot attorney. Manuel Abella, who has been a part- ner of Aixala & Company for the last ten years, has separated from that lirm and established himself as a leaf dealer on his own account at 25 Salud street. Don Manuel Menendez Parra joined the majcjrity on the tenth instant, and was buried Hie next day. The funeral was attended by nearly the whole leaf trade and many cigar manufacturers, fully 200 coaches following the hearse. With him the leaf dealers have lost one of their oldest members, who was uni- versally respected and beloved on ac- c(Hmt of his upright dealings. He reached the good age of 75 years, and was active until only a short time be- fore his demise. The daily press de- voted two columns to his life career. The firm will continue as heretofore, his two brothers, Don Ladilao and Don Ramon, will be the general partners in future. RECEIPTS FROM THE COUNTRY: Week ending May 15.

There has been a movement (»f mod- erate quantities of leaf tf)bacco during the past week, but the trade is still without the usual vim and activity, and it is not likely to fully recover until more satisfactory conditions prevail among the cigar niamifacturers. Con- necticut broadleaf and Zimmer Span- ish were the leading types showing any marked strength in the market during the past week. The business done in other types was of a routine nature and of comparatively small volume. The Sumatra market in this city has been quiet yet steady. Purchases that were made were taken principally by cigar manufacturers. The Havana market remains un- changed, and while there has been onK a very moderate demand for goods, prices remained firm. * * * The CIkhi' ImliiNtry. Some of the cigar manufacturers re- pr)rt that there is a slight increase in the demand for goods and the general business conditions seem to be slight- ly improved. It recpiires, however, continu(nis energy and the establish- ment of new accounts inr the average manufacturer to keep fully going, and then not all are getting what they would term a fair share of trade. Trav- eling men report that it is not quite so hard to pull a few orders from the ac- tive distributing houses as it was, show- ing probably that the depression is gradually wearing away. The Unset- tled tariff question seems to still be the chief factor of agitation, but there is some promise of an early settlement of this most vexatious problem. * * * 3I«>ri'lM RwMeiihei'K'M ('hniiK'e. It is announced that Morris Rosen- berg has taken an interest in the leaf tobacc(.) firm of Julius Lichtenstein & Company, 131 Water street, as well as an interest in the Florida business con- ducted under the name of the Lichten- stein Florida Leaf Tobacco Company, of Quincy. Mr. Rosenberg will doubt- less devote his entire energies to the new connections. He came here from Philadelphia about two years ago and became connected with the .\merican & West Indies Sales Co., and later with Locb & Company. * * * May <)|M'ii New ('i»'nrette Faet«»ry. It is now stated that William H. and George H. Butler are contemplat- ing a re-entry into the cigarette man- ufacturing trade, with which industry they have been long and prominently identified. While trading as Butler-But- ler they successfully marketed the Pall Mall cigarette, which was subse(|uently sold out to the American Tobacco Company. It was understood that a part of the agreement at the time of the sale was to the effect that they should not en- ter the manufacturing trade for a cer- tain period of time, and whether that ' period has expired, or whether they have probably been released is not def- initely known. They are said, how- ever, to have secured (piarters in New York City. * * * \«'w Retail Cliaiii «it' Storei*.

Pittsburg, Pa., May 25. The United Cigar Stores Co. has secured a location at the corner of Fifth avenue and Wood street, in the "Eisner Building, at a rental stated to be $50,000 per year. To secure the loca- tion they were obliged to rent the en- tire building, which accounts for the apparently high figure. YORK COUNTY CIGAR FACTORIES. While a Few Report a 'Tretty Good" Business, Many are Dull, and Some are Closed. There are a few cigar manufacturers in this county who have a pretty good business at the present time, but in general it is not what might be de- sired. There is a possibility that the production for this month will exceed that of last month, but it can not be expected to be anything like a record- breaker. A majority of the manufac- turers making a specialty of the two- for-five variety of goods are seriously affected, and, in fact, a large number of factories have closed down alto^ gether for the present, even if they will be opened again, about which there is some doubt. The leaf market has been as dull as the cigar trade, and since he is entirely independent on the cigar trade, the dealer in leaf tobacco must expect to have to await the return of greater ac- tivity among the cigar manufacturers before he can expect to get a much larger volume of business than he is now having. That time is problemat- ical, so that continued patience is a needed virtue. Several of our city manufacturers are having a fair trade, but in the outlying towns the busy factories are almost ex- ceptions, although at McSherrystown there has lately been at least a partial revival of activity, according to the latest reports. Aside from this the Littlestown fac- tory of George W. Parr is doing pretty well, and a full complement of cigar- makers is employed. At Nashville H. F. Kohler reports that on the higher grades of goods he has a good run. It would seem that the cheaper priced article is on the wane generally. Wolf Bros. & Ziegler, at Red Lion, have lately been adding a few addi- tional hands to their force of cigar- makers. Charles Eberly, a cigar manufacturer, at Dallastown, will enlarge his factory in a short time. His trade seems to be growing at a nice rate. The cigar factory employes of Wal- lace M. Gemmill & Co., at Red Lion, recently held an outing at Long Level, on the banks of the Susquehanna, where fishing and other sports were indulged in. Mr. Gemmill recently re- turned from a short business trip of leaf tobacco markets. The New York Cigar Factory, at Dallastown, which has been operating on full time with over 200 employes, has limited the output of the hands only during the first four days of the week. George Shearer, a tobacco grower at Spry, last week cgmpleted the setting out of four acres of tobacco, in which 24,000 plants were sued. He claims the distinction of being the first person in the county to have completed the plant- ing season. SPECIAL NOTICES.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 26, 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS There appears to have been a fairly ^ood business in the Leaf Trade. One large firm announces that during the past week the volume of business was perhaps the greatest of any single week since the beginning of the year. There was a demand for all types of cigar leaf, which were sold at unchanged market prices. There was no unusual activity in the Sumatra market. Manufacturers are buying sparingly both of old and new gor)ds. In Havana tobacco the conditions were normal, and. while there was no specially urgent demand for goods, prices have remained firm. Our cigar manufacturing industries appear to be doing fairly well, and it is now expected that the ot^cial re- turns of the May output will sht)W isome increase. Mail orders indicate a gradual but steady improvement among the distributing houses, and traveling salesmen reprirt more encour- aging results than they have had for some time i)ast. The retail dealers are of a cheerful disposition this week, owing to excel- lent weather conditions, and the pres- ence of thousands of visitors, many of whom came to attend the annual con- clave i»f Knights Temi)lar. Some of the downtown establishments are ex- hibiting special window trims for the purpose of more readily attracting the attentirm of the throngs of visitors. John T. 1)., of Theobald & Oppen- heimer Cotnpany, recently returned from a lour of inspection through the West, and reports that while he found trade conditions fair, yet they were not as brisk as one might have been led t(j believe by recent reports. Their fac- tory is operating a good force of work- men, and some extensive shipments arc ' being made constantly. Mr. Henry Kraus, of Kraus & Com- pany, Baltimore, was a visitor last weeek. Mr. Kraus stated that he had recently returned from a trip as far west as the Pacific coast, and found conditions encouraging. t^or more than a week past Fred Hippie, of the leaf linii of Hipplo Bros. 12 & Company, has been inviting all his friends to j)artake with him of some exhilarations and to be '"joyful." It was not until a few days ago. however, that the real cause of his more than usual congeniality became positively known. It was a continuous celebra- tion of the birth of an heir to the Hip- pie family, and who has been named Fred Hippie, the fourth. This bounc- ing baby tipped the scales at the 9^3 pounds mark. It was reported here this week that Morris Rosenberg, formerly of this city, had become associated in the New York leaf tobacco firm of Julius Lich- tenstein & Company, and also the Lich- tenstein Florida Tobacco Company, of Quincy, Fla. Mr. Rosenberg has the best wishes of the trade with him. Mr. \V. W. Haynie, who has been connected with the American Cigar Co. in various capacities since its incor- poration, and who severed his connec- tions with that concern 60 days ago. has accepted a position with the Theo- bald & Oppctdieimer Co., of Philadel- phia, and will represent that concern throughout the Northwest, with head- (|uarters at Minneapolis. Minn. Mr. Haynie first commenced manu- facturing cigars in Danville. Va., at the age of 14. and at that time he was the yoiuigest cigar mamifacturer in the business. His leading label bore his portrait at that age. and his business grew so rapidly that he was forced to move to Philadel])hia. where he niatni- factured the same brand until the American Cigar Co. was organized, at which time he sold out his business to them. ■'The Tobacco World" congratulates both Mr. Haynie and the Theobald & Oppenheimer Co., because it believes that he will make them a valuable man. Philadelphia's pleasure parks will be thrown open to the i)ublic f)n Saturday next. There seems to have been less rivalry than usual for the cigar .^and privileges at the parks this year. This may mean that at a number of the parks some brands which have not heretofore been exploited at those places may this year come into prom- inence. At Woodside Park the privi- lege has been granted to E. Michelson, a dealer at Ridge avenue and Dauphin streets, and who it is stated will make a specialty of the Tom Keene brand.

L S-SCMOENfeuO, MmiK bacco. In this part of Turkey tobacco is raised chiefly at Sanisoun. Bafra. Trebizond and Philana. At present the United States buys only from Sani- soun. but it seems to me quite possi- ble that the tobacco of Trebizond and Platana might also be of use in mak- ing the American Egyptian cigarettes. It is certain that quite large quanti- ties of Trebizond tobacco are sold to Egypt, where it is used to brighten the tobacco obtained from other -i>arts «)f Turkey. Trebizond tobacco is weak; it has A-ery little aroma; the leaves are large, very light colored, and do not keep very well. Samsoun and Bafra tobac- "tos are stronger, have more aroma, 'do not bite the tongue; the leaves are smaller and darker. The most aromat- ic sorts are what are called "Marden" (mine) and "Dere" (valley) varieties. These leaves are very small, strong, dark and aromatic. ToiiOirraiihy, f'ltmate mid Culture. The country where the best Turk- ish tobacco is grown in this consular district is a low, mountainf)Us region bordering the south shore of the Black Sea. It lies between the 40th and 41st degrees of north latitude. A chain of mountains, once densely forested but now quite bare, 2000 to 8000 feet high, runs aUmg the coast at varying dis» tances back from the sea. and seems to act as a curtain to hold the clouds and the moisture which rises from the sea. Most of the tobacco fields are on the slopes of the foothills and in the lower valleys from half a mile to three miles from the shore. As a rule, they are small, one to four acres. Snow is not abundant in this region, and there is little frost. It is considered desir- able that the ground should freeze a little in the winter before it is culti- vated. Rain is quite abundant until June, and the atmosphere is nearly al- ways humid. In the Trebizond region a clear sky and a bright sun are ex- tremely rare. The summer is hot. The tobacco fields are not irrigated. Ac- cording to the general opinion here, it is climate rather than soil that causes the difference in the various kinds of tobacco. The methods of tobacco culture in this country are primitive and much Cedar Cigar Box SHOOKS r Time J Trouble NVorry Money Use Our Cedar Shooks for Your Regular Brands No ReCutting No Waste STOCK READY TO PRINT Send us INSIDE DIMENSIONS of Cedar Boxes you make regularly, and we will quote Attractive Prices Prompt Shipments Guaranteed Henry H. Sheip Mfg. Co. Columbia Ave. and Sixth Street, PHILADELPHIA is left to chance and nature. No sys- tematic rotation of crops is practised, no scientific fertilizing, and little cul- tivating. Some fields are planted wMth tobacco year after year without any rest, while a few, the least desirable ones, are left fallow every three or four years. About the middle or end of March the seed, mixed with a little sand, is sown on a small bed of ground at one side of the field or in some garden. This starting bed is carefully spaded and hoed and cleaned from stones and weeds. When the plants are from four to six inches high they are transplanted in the field and set out in rows ab(jut eight- een inches apart, and the plants plat- ed about a foot apart in the rows. They are watered once or twice when first set out and rarely after that. Lit- tle weeding or cultivating is done. No machines are used. At Trebizond when the tobacco is twelve to fifteen inches high the tops are broken off and the shoots are pinched. A few stocks are left for seed. At Samsoun little or no budding or pinching is done. There they try to get many small leaves, while at Trebizc nd they look for large leaves, (luantity rather than (luality. lliirvt'MttiiK hikI CtiriuK'. Marvcsting begins in the latter part of June and the pickings follow one. after the other throughout the sum- mer. .\t Trebizond there are three pickings, (i) the lowest leaves and the poorest in (|uality; (2) tnedium leaves )f medium quality; (3) the best qual- ity, large leaves, strong, and of dark- er co'or. The seeds are gathered in September and no use is made of them excepting for planting. In Trebizond the average yield is about Hoc pounds of tobacco per acre. In Sanisoun it is about 750, and in Hafra it averages about 900 pounds per acre. In igof^, Trebizond, includ- ing Platana, produced about 60,000 hun- dredweight; Sanisoun and liafra each produced about the same amount, and all other portions of this district pro- duced anitther 60.000 lumdredweight. The leaves, as gathered, are placed on strings, each (|uality by itself, and the strings are hung on horizontal poles. They are dried in the sun near a cabin so arranged that in case of rain the poles can easily be run into the cabin to protect the tobacco. After the leaves have been well dried they are i)ut into a damp house or cellar, where they remain until they become soft, when they are made up into pack- ets of six to ten leaves. Subsequently they are taken to the Tobacco Regie depots, where they are sorted, manip- ulated, weighed, controlled and sold either to the Regie or to the tobacco merchants.

Tobacco Protective Association Brings a Suit for $2,500. iCIkton. Ky.. May 27. S. Walton For^y. attorney in Ken- tucky for the Planters' Protective As- sociation of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. lias tiled suit for that organiza- tion of tobacco growers in the Circuit Court here against Robert Lester, a prominent farmer of Guthrie, for $2,530 damages, alleged to have been sustained as a result of Lester, who has been a member, selling his pledged tobacco crop, of nearly 50,000 pounds outside the as- sociation. At a meeting of the board of direc- tors of the association held at Guthrie, the headquarters, Lester appeared before them and notified them of his intention of selling his tobacco, which had been pledged. The board passed a resolution providing that injunction proceedings be taken against hitn. The r^rf'rs were pre- pared, but the b-»rd required by law was not made. Wit'.in a few days Lester hail hauled his tobacco to Clarksville and disposed of it. The association claims in its petition that in addition to losing its regular charges of i per cent, through Lester's alleged violation of contract, it has been hampered, through his action, in carry- ing out its contract with and selling the tobacco of his fellow-pledgers. Lester's answer has not yet been ti'ed. The case will come up at the next term of the Todd Circuit Court in July. ANOTHER GAIN FOR THE UNITED. Takes Over the Two Chicago Stores of M. W. Diffley. Chicago, May 28. AL W. DifHey, who was the moving spirit seven years ago in the formation of the Cigar Dealers' Association of America, to light the United Cigar Stores Company, has capitulated and has «old out his two remaining cigar stores to the company. He also has entered the service of the LInitcd interests and will have an executive position, probably making his headquarters in Chicago. "Competition was getting pretty stren- uous," said Mr. Diffley, last night. "The United people made me a very generous offer and I decided it would pay me better to accept it than to keep up the fight." When asked what had become of the Cigar Dealers' Association of America. Mr. Diffley said he believed it was de- ftmct, but that the organization still had an active chapter in Chicago, of which Albert Breitimg was president. PROPOSE A LIMIT ON SUMATRA. after the record average of 159 cent,s per Yi kilo for the very high grade crop in 1907 the price dropped to 91 cents in 19C8. At the same time the co.st of pro- ducii-g Sumatra tobacco has greatly, in- creased in the last few years on account of higher wages and of the rise in the \alue of Mexican dollars. Whereas about ten years ago the toliacco could bf produced at from 60 to 75 cents, at present the cost runs as high as 1 10 cents in some cases, which means that in years of moderate, but not altogether bad, prices many companies which used to do very well can no longer earn dividends. Moreover, the new measure adopted by the Austrian State regie, which at pres- ent entrusts its purchases to one or two special agents, thus eliminating compe- tition, threatens still further to conipli cate matters. To effect a remedy to this state of af- fairs negotiations have been going on some time past among the principal in- terests, and it is now proposed to reduce the number of fields planted by each of the companies by 20 per cent. Of course, this need not mean a corresponding de- crease in the crop, as the yield depends on the weather and other natural forces, but in any case a material reduction in the acreage must have a very decided in- fluence on prices. At first a reduction seems to have been designed by some of the big companies only, but the plans have now assumed a much wider scope. The most important dealers and tobacco brokers have joined hands and formally requested the president of the big Xed- erlandsche Handel Maatschappy, who is on the board of various tobacco com- IKinies, to appoint a commission which will have to make binding proposals as to the supervision of the estates. It is proposed to exclude new tobacco companies, which may be established during the life of the agreement, from the benefit of the Amsterdam market, by arranging st) that brokers will not oper- ate for them, whilst the existing com- panies would have to bind themselves neither to plant more fields than may be allotted by the joint committee nor to take any interest in new ventures. H this plan materializes, a very important step will have been taken towards unifi- cation of the interests of all Sumatra tobacco companies, which will enable them to get prices their own way round. For the time being the market is still in a waiting mood, and prices of tobac- co shares have scarcely moved at all. INSURING TOBACCO AGAINST HAIL Dutch Growers Suggest Restriction of Planting, to Advance Prices. Amsterdam, May 15. A scheme for controlling the Sumatra tobacco trade is on foot, in the last few years the crop of Sumatra tobacco has steadily increased from 2.33.957 bales in 1904 to 278,115 bales in 1908. an increase of 20 per cent, in ftmr years, during which period there has been no corre- .sponrling increase in the demand. This .steady expansion of the production has had a depressing effect on prices, and New Louisville Organization Formed with $50,000 Capital. Louisville, Ky., May 27. At a meeting of a number of men, in- terested in the tobacco business, held in the office of Muir Weissinger in the Co- lumbia building, the Tobacco Hall In- surance Company was organized by its incorporators Saturday afternoon. Tiic list of the incorporators includes Harry Weissinger, Muir Weissinger, William May and Rush W^itkins, of Louisville ; George Casperke, R. P. Shacklett and J. R. Willett, of Brandenburg; C. B. Sullivan, of Versailles: W. D. Black- well, of Greenville, and others. The company was organized with a capital of $50,000 and $25,000 surplus funw. The purpose of the organization is to insure tobacco in the field against damage by hailstorms. According to statement of those who know about these things, the new corporation will fill a long-felt need, and if conservatively operated will be entirely successful and yield a profit to its subscribers. wm.

Y- A PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 2, 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS i' There would appear to be some busi- ness this week in the local leaf tobacco market, and Arch street seems to li'«ve been a busy centre. Several piles vi cases of domestic leaf were observed on the pavement a few days ago by the writer, who upon making inquiry was informed that the goods were being pre- pared for shipment to the far west, soiii'j of them being .sent to Seattle. There has been some sale for all types of domesiic leaf, but the individual sales were not specially noteworthy. In these days, however, small sales are acceptable ami a goodly number of them will after all make up a fair volume of trade. The Sumatra market has shown no marked change and sales have been of a routine nature, consisting principally of small lots. The Havana market remains un- changed, and a fair volume of business ig reported. * ♦ * From all reports the cigar industry here is not so bad. While a few of the manufacturers are complaining we also find a number of them to be having a :good run of business and a few making active preparations for expansion. Bayuk Bros, report a very satisfactory business on their "Havana Ribbon," and the fac- tory is running on full time with a full force of cigarmakers. The Theobald & Oppenheimer Co. have lately received considerable new business, and all the factory forces are being mustered into active service. And .so we nrgl't go right a!(.ng the line. * * * The new factory building of the 44 Ci- gar Co. is being rapidly put into order for occupancy, but the extent of the al- terations is great and it will probably not be until Octoijcr that the factory can be taken over. Mr. Lipschutz, the pro- prietor of the 44 Cigar, a short time ago had a very peculiar experience in co^ incidence. .\n order had been received from a southern customer for a certain shape of the 44 Cigar, and an order had also been received from a western cus- tomer for a certain other shape of tlic 44 Cigar. The two orders became some- what mixed by the shipper, who dis- patched the cases intended for the south- ern cu.stomer to the customer from tlv west, and those intended for the western customer were sent to the customer from the south. An acknowledgment of the if)ods was received promptly from the customer in the west, informing Mr. Lipschutz that the goods had arrived, but that they were not what he had or- dered. He was so much pleased with the shape that he retained the gof)ds and requested that his order be also filled as it had originally called for. About th.^ same time a letter was received from the south, complaining that the goods received were not the shape wanted and it asked for shipping instructions. Mr. Lipschutz replied, acknowledging the mistake and explained its occurrence, al- so informing him of what the western customer had done. This seemed to please the southern man to such an ex- 12 tent that he also decided to retain th',; goods and requested the original order to be also tilled, which was, of course, dor.e. In a short time the .southern customer sent in a duplicate order for the same shape of cigars which had been sent him in mistake, as well as another for the regular shape he had been getting for s; redemption of coupons. * * * X. M. Griffin, formerly of the Boch- (iriffin Co., has secured a new cigar stand in the Crozer Building, on Chest- nut street above Broad, and where he also has the benefit of a display window facing ClKStnut street. Quite a few members of the cigar trade were in the city last week during the Knights Templar meetings. Among the number were C. S. Snyder, of the Kohler-Snyder Co., Yoc, Pa. ; Geo. A. Kohler, of the Merchants' Cigar Co., York. Pa., and Charles Beck, a jobber nmX retailer, of York, Pa. ♦ * * W. II. Raab, of the firm of W. H. Raab & Sons. Dallastown, Pa., was a recent visitor in this city. ♦ * ♦ John F. Schnupp. representing Jos. S Gans & Co.. leaf tobacco dealers of New ^'ork. was making the rounds of the trade here last week. The Kmce Cigar Co. has closed its retail store at No. 7 So. loth street. Mr. M.. ZifTerblatt. head of the lirm, when seen by a reporter to-day, stated that he found the stand was not a paying one, and he decided to close it rather than continue a stand that did not pay. He is therefore confining his attention en- tirely to the 13th street .store and the manufacturing department. ♦ * ♦ Fred. Oppenheimer, representing the Flatauer & Oppenheimer Co., of New York, was recently in this city and suc- ceeded in placing his goods on this mar- ket. He made a specialty of their Osado brand. ♦ ♦ ♦ E. T. Colgan, formerly of the Greenc- Colgan Co., cigar manufacturers, is now lonntcted with the stock brokerage firm of Frederick Paxson & Co. at 308 Chcstp.nt street. ♦ * ♦ The leaf tobacco firm of Pareira & Co. have been adjudged bankrupts and 1).

Havana Tobacco Ferment Merely Flavorinii Your Tobacco does not destroy the foreign and objectionable matter found in heavy, gummy tobaccos — nor does it give you satisfactory results. You Must Destroy and remove all this rankness and coarseness — and yet you do not want to destroy the leaf itself. You wish the Pure leaf for your cigars. Havana Tobacco Ferment Does This: It acts chemically on all foreign pigments and gums. Thoronghly Destroys and Removes All Undesirable ElementSt It gives you the Pure Leaf and Best Part of it. It gives a thoroughly clean leaf. Then Use Any Flavor You Wish, and you will have as fine a cigar as can be produced by any domestic or foreign tobacco. Each cigar that you sell, made of tobacco thus treated, means a satis- fied cusloiner who will buy your cigars exclusively. Havanallln— It's a Natural Havana Ci- gar Flavor. Something we've made a specialty of. N o better made. Cuban Licorice — CASING WINE— is no longer an experiment. You need ours to in- crease your trade. /Icme Extract and 6hemical Works EDWLN G.

SOME LIFE IN LANCASTER TRADE. Not Much, But Enough to Give Some Encouragement. Laiicaster. Pa.. May 31. During the past week the leaf tobac- co market has not been entirely bare of some actual trading, and one sale of 500 u'lses and another has been reported, but this made up the bulk of the week's bus- iness. It has. however, had an encourag- ing effect and packers are again more hopeful of a revival of business at no late date, and the output of the cigar industry it is expected will for the month of May show some gain. Weather conditions have become more favorable to the platuing of the new croi)s and the work has progressed very satisfactorily. .As sodu ,'is the tobacco is all out warmer nights will be needed to promote its groAth. which, together with considerable moisture will (piickly show its wholesome effect. It has been ])retty delinitely ascertained that t he acreage will in all probability be some- what iflcreased. as is evidenced by the fact that a large number of new tobac- co barns ar to be erected this .season to acconunodate the crops at harvest time. There are still complaints heard from among the cigar mamifacturers, with an occasioral bit of encouragement from here and there by manufacturers who were perhaps a little more fortunate than some others in securing orders. Orders have been issued to resume on full time several of the branch factories of the" United Cigar Manufacturers Co.. which was cheering news to the towns directly affected. John F. Hare, of John Slater & Co., recently returned froni a trip to Mt. Clements, where he htd been taking treatment for rheumaitsm from which he has suffered severely at times for several years past. The trip appears to have been beneficial to him. There were a few more visiting sales- men here during the past week than had been the case for several weeks, but they are a unit in declaring that they found conditions rather unfavorable to their calling. Several of our town mamifacturers have lately been booking a fairly good number of orders, and from several towns throughout the county there are also coming in reports of a betterment in the conditions generally. P. W. Jacobs, of Akron, has returned from a business trip through the coal re- gions and reports a business improve- ment in that section. On tlie other hand. Waif & Hackman and the KruU Cigar Co., at Akron, have somewhat re- duced their forces, while C. Ruppin has put additional hands to work. Mrs. Elizabeth (ireenly. wife of John H. Green!}', proprietor of the lona To- bacco Company, died last week at her home in this city. Mrs. Greenly had been in poor health for several years. Mr. Greenly had been residing at Neffs- ville until last spring, when he brought his family to this city and took up his residence at 529 West Chestnut street. After occupying the same quarters for nineteen years. Jacob Post has removed his cigar store from 59 South Main street, Helena, directly across the street, where the quarters will be larger.

It i.>^ said tliat these names have come to represent types rather than p'aces of j^rowth, owing to the methods of American packers in sort- ing and i)acking to certain standards. A Hamburg importer of seed-leaf to- bacco, one of the few classes which conies directly- to this city from the United States, says that he is only sure to obtain Connecticut stock when he bi;ys it in Hartford. Thus the Ger- man consumer has only the most vague notions respecting the actual origin of his tobacco, and is only in- teresteers, who guarantee fair average (juality. Difife.ences of oi)inion are judged by exi)erls in I'remen, whose judgment is final. The terms of payment are usu- ally cash xigainst documents. Pur- chases are made at seaboard, or in the more important tobacco centers, such as Louisville or Cincinnati, and very rarely in the growing districts of the actual jiroducers. As tobaccos develop ; (!\;iiUage(iusly during a sea voyage, g.).)ds shii)ped by sailing vessel from .\'ew Orleans, for example, are worth n: ):e on arrival than similar goods forwarded by steamer from New York to Baltimore. The (lernian importer of American tobaccos rarely seeks to market his stock by direct intercourse with manu- facturers. The latter usually procure their sui)plies through special brokers of whom there are many, in both Bre- men and Hamburg. This brokerage habit being difTerent from the ordinary methods of American business, espe- cially in the interior States, throws an- other obtacle in the way of organizing direct American trade. The broker gets the order from the consumer and takes it to the importer. Should the broker undertake to place the order directly in the United States he would cease to be a broker and would be- come a commission merchant. ToIhu-co TinportN nnd KxportH by C'otinfires.

Morgan, of Am- sterdam, furnishes the following infor- mation relative to the Sumatra to- bacco crop of 1908: The arrivals of Sumatra tobacco at Amsterdam of the crop of 1908 amount to 129.749 bales, of which :{1.()08 bales were disposed of at the last two public sales, leaving a balance on hand of 98.141 bales. This office is informed by reliable expert authority that tlie crop of 1908 ha^ turne^l out to be su- perior in qu'ility to tlie croj) of the l>receding year, which is attributed t > the fact that it received much rain. Avhereas the crop of 1907 was planted and grown during a very dry season. The wet season has caused most of the tobacco to be of a good, ripe char- acter, although some of the crop re- ceived too much rain, which resulted in making the leaf of a too light and red color, not suitable for the Amer- ican market. Of the 31,608 bales of tobacco of- fered at the last two inscriptions only about 4000 bales were bought for tlie American market, as the t.)bacco of- fered consisted principally of sand leaf, which is but little imported by the United States. It is generally be- lie\ed that the 1908 crop of Sumatra v.'U not be as large as the crops of former years, and that not much of it will be suitable for the American market.

All this tobacco has not yet been delivered, and all of :t has iu)t been paid for. Some of the in- ' dependent manufacturers have been trv- irg. so it is said, to avoid taking some )f the tobacco they bought at the terms agreed upon, and it is to adjust these differences that Mr. Le Bus is now en- gaging himself. So far as is known, Mr. Le Bus has never made any public expression rela- tive to his intentions, but the informa- tion comes from sources thjit are en- tirely trustworthy. Totaoco Crop Reports.

The cigar manufacturers of this city have felt the slump in business severely, as will be readily understandable from the fact that during the month of May the production of cigars fell ofT so materially. The Third District, which IS the largest i)roducing district in Greater New V(.rk. fell behind heavily, and other districts in proportion— the two principal districts alone showing a reduction of over 5.000,003 as compar- ed with the month of May, igoS. Or- ders are coming very sh.wly from both local trade and out-of-town points. The two usually dull months are now about at hand, and therefore little en- couragement of any great improvement lor the next few months is in prosjjcct. I{ven though the tariff agitation is be- ing gradually f(»rgotten and is probably not having a very serious effect now, its early settlement might prove ni some benefit in bringing about an earl- ier revival of business activity with the cigar trade. Distributing houses ;ire not (»nly curtailing their orders, but seem to be becoming constantly more exacting and clamorous of modification or reduction in prices. That the man- ufacturer cannot at present consent to, of course, and the conse(|uence is that he gets but a very small proportion of business at present. Kven a slight re- >• H. BACHARACH ® CO.

THE TOBACCO WORLD ■duction in the import duty on imported tobacco, but oi which there seems lit- tle prospect now, it could not enable a material reduction in the price of goods, particularly oi the domestic or seed and Havana varieties. Of course, there are some manufac* turing establishments who are not given to easy complaint, but who continue to 'devote themselves entirely to the de- velopment of their business and have little time for faultfinding. It is no- ticeable that the larger manufacturers seem to have been less affected during the past month than some of the small- er manufacturers; therefore, while it must be admitted that the smaller man- ufacturer has a rough row to hoe, it may be that he is losing heart and .now lacks the energy which is neces- sary to the greater sruccess. ♦ * * Willluiii JMcAliiln Hurt. William McAlpin, the tobacco mag- nate, was seriously hurt last week by falling from a moving Mac'ison Avenue •car, which he was attempting to board at 34th street. Mr. McAlpin was re- n-.oved to Bellevue Hospital suffering from contusions of the head and body and possibly of a fracture of the skull. *♦♦-.-. Tobacco Dlvldcmln. Notwithstanding the continued re- ports of general depression in the to- bacco business, dividends are forthcom- ing from the American Tobacco Com- pany. Last week there was declared the regular quarterly dividend of i ^ per cent, on the preferred stock, pay- able on July 1st to stockholders of rec- ord on June 15th, at which time the transfer books of the company will be closed, to be again opened (m July ist. The directors of the American Snuff Company have also declared the regu- lar quarterly dividend of ij/^ per cent, on the preferred stock of the company and 5 per cent, on the common stock, -which is the same as three months ago. Like the American Tobacco Company, the dividends are payable an July ist, to stockholders of record on June 15th, at which time the transfer books of the company will be closed, to be again re« opened on July ist. * * * Election of United Offlcerw. The annual meeting of the stockhold- ers of the United Cigar Stores Com- pany was held at Jersey City recently, when all the old directors were re- elected to office and two new directors were elected. These were Charles P. Sherlock and Herman Vestal. Immediately after the meeting of the stockholders a meeting of the directors was called and the following were elect- ed officers: President, George J. Whe- lan; Vice Presidents, Charles A. Whe- lan, Herbert S. Collins, Edward Wise, Louis Biel, W. P. Posey and Frederick A. Whelan. John Whclan was elect- ed secretary and Elliot Averett, treas- urer. * * * SpanlMli Society Fentlvnl. On June 12th, La National, the Span- ish Benevolent Society, an organization the membership of which includes many prominent workers and others of the tobacco trade, will hold their fortieth annual sunnner night's festival at Sul- zer's Harlem River Park, Second Ave- nue and 127th Street. Extensive preparations have been completed for the entertainment of the members and their guests, and it is ex- pected t(j surpass all of the previous similar occasions which have been al- ways pronounced decidedly successful. The following are the officials of the organization: Marcelino Perez, Presi- dent; Francisco Suarez, Vice Presi- dent; Caesar Tolivar, Second Vice President; Bautista Nadal, Treasurer, and Jose a Perez, Financial Secretary. * * * TRADE NOTES. Percival S. Hill, president of the American Cigar Company, returned last week from Europe. He had been in attendance at several inscriptions of Sumatra tobacco at Amsterdam. M. Cohn, proprietor of the- Crown Tobacco Company, dcjing business at 17 Elizabeth Street, has been discharg- ed as a bankrupt. The liabilities of the concern were $5616. M. W.

To be sure there ■miong the visitors. M'r. Lundy is a has been business done, and every day, but it has been in such a small way that it has not been noticeable. There appears to be some inquiry concerning leaf, but present quotations do not seem to result in the immediate closing of many deals, yet a local house closed a sale of 100 cases, domestic leaf last week to a manufacturing firm. This was about the largest individual trans- action that has come to our notice dur- ing the week, save some trading among leaf jobbing houses. It is not now expected that any ma- terial change will occur in the leaf mar- ket for a few weeks to come, if then, as the usually dull period of the year is now close at hand and the prospects (»f an innnediate enlivenment of trade conditions are thereby still further min- imized. There has been a little business in Sumatra tobacco, but mostly in small lots, which it ai)pears were wanted for early use. The Havana market has not develop- ed any particular change in either jirice or market conditions. * * * In the absence of any special gather- ing of out-of-town visitors the retail dealers seem to be feeling the effect of their absence, since for a couple of weeks previous there had been here large numbers of visitors whose expen- ditures were a considerable benefit to the local dealers. Generally speaking, the trade with them is also a little quiet; it was also somewhat affected during the past week by the strike of the street railway employes. This was particularly true of the stores in the central section of the city, which have usually a rather heavy transient trade during certain hours of the day, and particularly in the evening. One Mar- ket street dealer has made the state- ment that during the strike of last week his evening receipts were very small, and that he had closed his place several hours earlier than usual. River trips tp resort places at night had practi- cally ceased during last week, owing to \hc lack of street car facilities and It member of the Executive Committee of the Grand Council. * * * Herman Fischler, proprietor of the Boch-Grififin Co., in the corridor of the Real Estate Trust Co. building at Broad and Chestnut streets, has issued a neat card, specializing his leaders, as follows: Jose Vila, La Integridad, Lord Curzon, Campanella. Golf and Roths- child. The Golf and Rothschild brands are advertised as being owned and sold only by Mr. Fischler. .\ good busi- ness is reported fntm this stand. * * * Nicholas M.

A short time ago the retail store on Tenth street be- low Market, of which Mr. Zifferblatt was the real owner, but which was con- ducted under the nani^' of The Enice Cigar Coinpany, was ckSsed and the fix- tures removed. When seen by a To- bacco World representative, Mr. Ziffer- blatt said he had lost considerable money at the Tenth street .store, and to that cause he probably ascribes his pres- ent diticulty. * ♦ ♦ A.

TOBACCO NOTES FROM YORK. leaf Men Still Complaining. Factory Output for May About Same as April. York, Pa., June 8th, 1909. A very fair idea of the vokime of the cigar business can be had by a reference to the report of the sale of cigar stamps during the past month, and which shows that the trade condi- tions were not at all good.

The Bagley Com- pany is distributing free corncob pipes to introduce the tobacco to the consum- ers, and thi.s advertising scheme is working well. The American Smoker Cigar Com- l)any since inoving into the new factory, at i5tS Green street, Jamaica Plains, has increased its business considerably. Fred Jumisky. wht) is ntjw looking af- ter the local trade, has already placed the American Smoker with all our best retailers, and duplicate orders are com- ing forward in great shape. Mr. Weiss, representing Bustillo Bros. & Diaz, makers of the well- known Henry the Fourth clear Havana cigars, was here on his initial trip and rei)()rts having done a satisfactory bus- iness. B. Kcrstcin, a son of H. M. Ker- stein, the Boston Cambridge street re- tailer, is one of the leaders in the Bos- ton .American contest of free tours to Europe. S. Robbins, wholesale tobacconist, has opened a branch business for the sunnner months at Revere lU-ach. Owing to the advance in price on the Helmar cigarettes, the live Boston retailers are pushing the sale of the Mentor Company's Ramly. Each pack- age of these cigarettes contain genuine l)hotos of the leading baseball players. Retailers in the neighborhood of Park S(|uare did a thriving business this week. Ringling Bros." circus gave an exhibition there, and as the weather was real warm all week, with the ex- ception of one day, the circus contin- gent also fared good from a financial standpoint. The circus brought many strangers to town and in all parts of the city there was an improvement in business. The cigar store of Olson & Iverson, 834 Washington street, was visited with a tire this week which did damage to the amount of $150. J. Herwitz. of the Lynn Cigar Com- pany, Lynn, Mass., was a buyer in the market this week. Mr. Herwitz while here contracted for some new silent salesman, shaw c^ses and intends to make many alterations in his retail store. The Lynn Cigar Company has a good local business on its "400" cigar. Jack Warsaw, the comedian sales- man of the Khedivial Company, ap- pearing in a new dotted striped black suit. Salome effect, Tremont collar, cardinal red necktie, tan low-citt shoes, Pompadour cut hair and wearing the latest creation in Panama hats, is again calling on the local trade. Jack has just returned from a trip to Lowell. While there he called on a retailer named White, who to his surprise, happened to be a negro. Mr. White gave Jack the glad hand as he said. "What lodge do you hail from, brudder?" 'Nuff sed. Levenson Bros, makers of the Bos- ton Smokers, now have their cigar for sale on all the newsstands in the sub- way and at the "L" stations. Rosenthal Bros., the Hanover street wholesalers, who recently took on the agency for the Masterpiece nickle cigar, are placing same with the trade. The advertising matter that goes with this cigar is very attractive. Louis Natelson (Turco American Tobacco Company) is pushing the sales of Astron and Zer cigarettes. The straw tip Astron is getting to be a big seller here. Things are busy at the Menashi Khoury Company here, lirother Will- iams is taking some nice orders for the famous Menashi cigarettes which have a good sale at all our leading cigar stores and hostelrics.

Wliile the leaf tobacco market was very quiet during the past week, it was 11; it altogether dead, and some goods uere sold, mostly in small lots. There seemed to be a tone of betterment. Ill itwithstanding the small sales which to the average person seemed unimpor- tant. If the actual aggregate of busi- ness done could be arrived at it might even be somewhat astonishing in view of the universal c »mpl'ints n »w heard from nearly every one. Much attention is now. of course, di- rected to the new crops about being planted, and the writer, who passed through a considerable portion of Lan- caster county last week, was some- what surprised at the comparatively small amount of tobacco so far trans- planted, although, of course, many of the fields are in readiness. If the weather C(»nditions remain fav- orable it is likely that rapid progress will be made during this week. The matter of increasing the acreage is still a doubtful cjuantity, and it will l)robably depend more upon favorable weather conditions than any other one thing, as to whether there will actually I)e much of an increase. The report of the Collector of In- ternal Revenue shows the condition of the cigar trade during last month to have been anything but gratifying. The collections by the revenue ofifice for the sale of cigar stamps amounted to $144,- 556.10 during the month of May. This amount of money represents a produc- tic.n of 4iS, 198,700 cigars for the month of -May. For the month of April the stamp sales amounted to $161,240.67, representing a cigar production of 53,- 746.890, while during the month of May, 1908. the sale of stamps amounted to $169,139.57, representing a cigar pro- duction of 56,379,850. From these figures it will be seen that during the month of May just closed the cigar production amounted to 5.548.290 less than during the month of A])ril jusi preceding, and, further, that it amounted to 8,181.150 less than during the month of May, 1908.

Sheip Mfg. Co Columbia Ave. and Sixth Street, PHILADELPHIA 18 fore, the trade does not feel at all ju- bilant, although still hopeful that an early and permanent improvement will set in ere long. It has also been observed that dur- ing the past month the number of li- censes taken out for the opening of new factories has been below the average, althf)ugh this has not necessarily any special significance except that it would indicate that people seem to be afraid to enter into the trade under the ex- isting conditions. "Uncle" Sol. HofTheimer, the vet- eran representative of Hamburger Bros. & Co., Havana tobacco import- ers of New York, has been calling on some of his many friends in this sec- tion lately. Charles Lederman last week left on ■\ short business trip to see some of his old customers. Allen Fry. a son of the well-known cigar and tobacco man, Mr. Phares W. Fry, of this city, left last week for Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he expects to remain for some time. Young Mr. Fry had been for some time holding a clerical position with John F. Heiland & Co., leaf tobacco brokers of this city, and who are sorry to lose his services. John F. Heiland & Co. report that. n)twithstanding the general unfavor- •ible trade conditions, they -have suc- ceeded in placing considerable goods (luring the past month because they had just what the trade seemed to want at that time. A. J. Hinsey. formerly a manufac- turer at Akron, has made application for his discharge in bankrui^tcy, and a hearing on this application will l)e given at the United States District Court at Philadelphia on June 24th, at which creditors and other persons interested may appear and show cause, if any they have, why the request of the petitioner should not be granted.

Slow Shipments by Manufacturers Hinder Trade. Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Streer. Boston. Mass., June 14. Trade continues good in all branches of the cigar and tobacco industries. Jf)l)l)ers complain they don't get in the goods quick enough and therefore have much to contend with. Since the .Amer- iv-'an Tobacco Co. advanced the p; ices of man>- of its brands of cigarettes jobbers have l):en submerged with orders from customers who desire to take advant- age of getting in one shipment at the old prices have placed large orders, and as the A. T. Co. is mil'ions of cigarettes over-sold, goods are coming in very slowly, and at times jobbers' shelves are absolutely clean of goods, and much dis- comfiture is caused by not being able to fill the retailer's order for these brands. Many of the indtpendent cigart'tte man- ufacturers are doing a nice business here owing to this shortage of A. T. Co. brands. It is expected that the Ameri- can will shortly offer some new deal to the retailer on account of advancing the price of Turkish Trophies to $7.75 per thousand, as similar kinds of goods are offered by indepentlent manufacturers for less than $7.00 per thousand. It is reported that the United Cigar Stores Co. has Lased the building and stores on the corner of Washington and Hanover streets, at present occupied by a shoe store and a jewelry store. Being directly opposite the Jaynes-Riker Drug Co., wh.ich for a long time has been our leader in price-cutting, this new location of the United is one of the best in town. Thursday being l^>unker Hill Day, the event, as usual, will be largely cele- brated in Charlestown by parades, ban- (|uets. etc. Xantasket Beath opened for the sea- son on Saturday, and as the weather was real warm, thousands of people were attracted there. A. M. Pacholder & Co., of Baltimore, are placing with the trade here a new brand or short smokes called Sultano, panatella shaped, and retailing at ten for IOC. B. B.

The Bowdoin Cigar Co. has removed its factory from 153 Court street to larger quarters at 170 Hanover street.

Conditions in the leaf tobacco mar- ket have shown no particular change during the past week, and it was a rou- tine business that made up the bulk of the week's transactions. The market seems to be dull generally, and not only in this city. As one leaf express- ed it the other day, "We are at an in between period, a season where it is almost impossible to efYect sales at a reasonable commercial profit, " and so it seems in all sections of the country. The time of the usual summer (piiet- ness is well nigh at hand, mamifactur- ers are by no means pressed with orders making it necessary for a con- stant replenishment of raw material, and besides the continued unsettled condition of the tariff matter also tend to keep things upset to at least some extent, and consequently little better can be looked for at present than about what we are having. It is not meant to convey the idea that no business has been, as we have before stated when referring to the market as being dull, but it is of such a nature that it at- tracts little attention. Several lots of Ohio and Connecticut tobaccos have changed hands recently, and the hold- ers are still in an BOX >IAKEH.S \OVEI/rY.

Dl I.A ill VS t< Referring again to the cigar manu- facturers we might state that, with very few, if any, exceptions, the im- provement is very noticeable. Forces arc being increased and in some in- stances factory facilities are also being expanded. This is particularly true in the case of Otto Eisenlohr & Bros., 12 makers of the famous "Cinco" cigars, and who have completed arrangements for the opening of an additional cigar factory, which will be located at York. Pa., where several hundred hands will be employed from the beginning. Harry Eimcrbrink, general superin- tendent of the Eisenlohr factories, will l)ersonaIly see to the installation of the new factory at York, which, by the way, is his home town, and he has chosod his brother, F.

Havana Tobacco Ferment iVierely Flavoring Your Tobacco does not destroy the foreign and objectionable matter found in heavy, gummy tobaccos — nor does it give you satisfactory results. You Must Destroy and remove all this rankness and coarseness — and yet you do not want to destroy the leaf itself. You wish the Pure leaf for your cigars. Havana Tobacco Ferment Does This: It acts chemically on all foreign pigments and gums. Thoroughly Destroys and Removes All Undesirable Elements. It gives you the Pure Leaf and Best Part of it. It gives a thoroughly clean leaf. Then Use Any Flavor You Wish, and you will have as fine a cigar as can be produced by any domestic or foreign tobacco. Each cigar that you sell, made of tobacco thus treated, means a satis- iied customer who will buy your cigars exclusively. Havanallin — It's a Natural Havana Ci- gar Flavor.

Certain'y it is no worse here than elsewhere, if it is not indeed just a little better than at some places. ^'ork has bjen selected for the loca- tion of a new and important cigar fa,-- tory, which will be opened as soon as the buildii g. which has already bjen se- cured, can be put into readiness. Thi-« new factory will be ojierated by Otto ICiseidohr & iiros.. of Philadelphia, who alre.id) have a large number of facto- ries in the eastern part of thj State, in some of which a large number of hands are en\ployed. It is one of the largest cigar manufacturing firms in the coun- try, and York is to be congratulated upon its selection for one of their fac- tories. It is hoped that everything will be in readiness by Jul.v ist, and it is stated that a'l the more kjen. In- quiries durinj^- the past week have heen very small, showing that the niainifac- turers are not desiring any goods at all. and salesmen on the road also report that it has he-Mi only hy hard effort and persistent talk that some sales have been made. The cigar industry is in ahout the same general condition as at the time of my last report, with a few exceptional factories that now seem to have a fair luimher of orders in hand, and those were received recently. In view of the continued quietness, it is remarkahle that one does not hear more complaints than are heard, for as a rule the cigar manufacturers seem to be cheerful enough and some are hopeful that hy the time of fall trade there will he a vast difference in the conditions, and which it is hoped they will be able to fully participate in. The tobacco growers are now the only busy people in the entire tobacco trade, and they are making rapid prog- ress with their planting. Plants devel- oped very rapidly during the past week and the ground has also been in a most excellent condition, so that everything looks favorable for a good crop this ytar. Of course all signs may fail, but the present indications extend every measure of hopefulness. The acreage, it is still believed, will be somewhat in- creased, especially is that likely if the present favorable weather continues to enable the farmers to do so. The average l)rices received for the crops during the past few years have been quite an in- centive to them, and they are again fa- \()ring tobacco as against some other agricultural products. On Friday evening last a conference was held at the Stevens House, in this city, to arrange for the current year's tobacco experiments in Lancaster coun- ty, the State having alread> made ap- propriations for the purpose. A new line of investigation is to be taken up, and while the arrangements include a continuance of exiJeriments in the pro- duction of shade grown leaf from Sumatra seed, ar.other important line of work now mapped out will be experi- ments on Idler tobaccos and an improve- ment of the vield and (piality of the seed Cedar Cigar Box SHOCKS r Time 1 I Trouble IJ NVorry Money Use Our Cedar Shooks for Your Regular Brands No Re-Cutting No Waste STOCK READY TO PRINT Send us INSIDE DIMENSIONS of Cedar Boxes you make regularly, and we will quote Attractive Prices Prompt Shipments Guaranteed leaf variety by the method of seed se- lection. It was pointed out that such a hue of investigation has led to great im- provement of tobaccos produced in other States, and there is every reason for b;- lieving that the industry here will also be greatly bjnelited by the application of tile same or similar methods. Tt is known that Prof. Frear, of th-' State Agricultural Department, favors the plans out'ined. Init there is to be placed in charge Edward K. Mibshman. who is Field Assistant in the Depart- ment of Experimental Agricultural Chemistry of the State Experiment Sta- tic n. Mr. Hii)shman is a graduate of the School of Agriculture of the State College, a Lancaster county b >y and a son of Mr. Geo. Hibshman. Secretary of the Lancaster County Tobacco Grow- ers' Association. .\ meeting of the Lancaster County Tobacco (irowers' Association will be held to-day at the A.

Free Wrapper Tobacco to be "Unstemmed." When the Senate met last week the amendment covering importations from the PhiH])i)ines was taken up. The tobacco chiuse received first attention. Declaring that tobacco grown in the Philippine Islands was unfitted for the American market because of inferior quality. Senator Rulkeley, of Connecticut, opened the day's debate. He opi)osed the Philip])in > amendment and insisted tint iis cnictment into law would do the Philippines no good. Mr. Hulkeley offered an amendment providing that the tobacco to be ad- mitted to the United States for the Philippine Islands free of duty shall be "unstemmed." that the number of ci- gars to be admitted free shall be 70.- 000.000, instead of 150,000,000, and that the amount of free filler tobacco shall he reduced from 1.500,000 pounds to i,- 000,000 i)ounds. Senators Penrose, Jones and Fletch- er approving this proposed change as satisfactory to the tobacco interests ot their States, Senator Aldrich promptly on behalf of the Finance Committee ac- cepted these amendments. Senator Borah startled the Senate by a declaration for early independence for the Philippines. He proposed, he said, to cast his vote for "loosening the bands which tie the Philippine people to the United States Government." "When I speak that sentiment," con- tinued Mr. Borah, "I am aware that t express a view contrary to that of the President, for whose opinion and serv- ices to that great people I have a pro- fr)und regard. Nevertheless, I liave a conviction that the first duty of the people of the United States is to pre- pare this people for supporting an in- dependent government. ■"1 do not believe it is in accordance with the spirit of our Constitution or institutions that we should continue the policy of having colonial possessions. While I must differ to some extent with my party and with the President per- haps, it is a conviction that 1 cannot put aside." Opposing the provision of the tariff! bill by which a restrictive amount of sugar and tobacco is to be admitted free of duty from the Philippines, Sen- ator Foster, of Louisiana, addressed the Senate. He expressed the opinion that the establishmenf of free trade relations between the United States and the is- lands would destroy all hope of their independence. Not because of any wish to protect American or beet sugar but because in his opinion the proposed subsidy to Philippine products would bind those is- lands to the United States indissolubly was the reason advanced by Senatcjr Newlands, of Nevada, in a speech in the Senate the other day for his oppo- sition to the amendment admitting free to our markets Philipi)ine sugar and tobacco. He declared that if we com- plicate the Philippine tariff system with ours "the two countries will be so bound together by this amendment that it will be difficult to separate them." "Illusions have vanished," he said. "The prevailing feeling of the Ameri- can people in regard to the Philippines is regret that we are there and a long- ing to get out creditably." As matters now stand, he declared that it would be an easy thing for the United States to withdraw at any time by substitut- ing Filipino commissions for American commissioners, "thus permitting the islands to drift away from us into a thoroughly independent and individual- hxd life." He argued that if the Philipi^ines "are at some time to be independent and self-supporting, their people must accept the world's prices for their products. It is the height of folly to accustom them to the subsidized prices of this country. The purpose of per- mitting the Philippines to import 300,- 000 tons of sugar annually into the United States without payment of the duty imposed on foreign importations and amounting to about $35 a ton, is to enable the Filipino to receive in our market without the payment of duty nearly double the price which they can get anywhere else in the world. This legislation means the diversion of near- ly $10,000,000 annually from the Ameri- can treasury into the pockets of Phil- ippine producers without lowering the price of sugar a penny to the American consumer." He held that it would be nuich bet- ter for us to give this benefaction di- rectly to the Filipino Government, which could expend it fi>r worthy pur- poses "and not to the Filipino planters, or, as will idtimately prove to be the case, to the Sugar Trust itself, which doubtless will obtain a monopoly of the production of sugar there, as it is now acquiring it in Cuba." If $10,000,000 is to be given amnially by this Government to the Philippines !t would be done in a way, he declared, that will absolutely secure the benefits to the masses of ihe Filipino people and not to interests that will simply exploit the Filipino people. "But assuming," he continued, "that the $10,000,000 of annual sugar subsidy will go mainly to the Philippine labor- ers, shall we really do them a service by accustoming them to a price for their sugar which is double what they can get from the rest of the world? Will not the ending of the subsidy and the AFTER STOCKHOLM SNUFF CO. DEATH OF L. B. CARLE American Capitalists Offer 12,000,000 Crowns for Swedish Company. (By cable.) Stockholm, Sweden.

Rear Admiral Schroder, of Atlantic Fleet, Would Bar Them from Ship's Store. Washington, June 17. Cigarette smoking by the enlisted men of the United States navy should be discouraged in the opinion of Rear .Admiral Seaton Schroeder, command- er-in-chief of the Atlantic battleship rteet. Admiral Schroeder has recommended to the Secretary of the Navy that no cigarettes be sold at the ship's store on any of the vessels under his command. It is probable that Secretary Meyer will take action in accordance with Ad- miral Schroeder's recommendation. Ad- miral Schroeder believes that cigarettl's impair the health of the men. WISCONSIN LAW UNCHANGED. One Branch of Legislature Would Not Accept New Anti-Cigarette Law. ]\Iadis(m, Wis., June 17. The anti-cigarette law of Wisconsin has not been strengthened at this ses- sion of the Legislature. The Assembly passed a bill to provide for additional restrictions, but the two houses could not come to an agreement, and the bill was relegated to oblivion. Under the present law all persons 16 years or under are prohibited from us- ing cigarettes on any public road, street, alley or park or other lands used for public purposes, or in any public place of business or amusement, except in the company of a parent or guardian. A line of $io<)r imprisonment for a period not exceeding 30 days is the punish- ment for violations. The new bill had for its f)bject the strengthening of the law so that it would prohibit the use of cigarettes, ci- gars or tobacco in any form or place within the State by persons under the age of 15 years. The increase in the penalty was to be from $10 to $25. reduction of the favored prices which they have received for their products plunge them into such a condition of suffering and distress as they have never yet realized? The right way to help the Filipinos is to train them in self-sustaining methods. By a system of direct aid, instead of subsidized aid, the desired end of ultimate withdrawal with honor would be accomplished." Born in Massachusetts, But Lived in the West More than Half a Century. Janesville, Wis., June 17. In the death of Levi B. Carle, which took place on Saturday evening, June 12, Janesville loses one of its most sub- stantial and enterprising citizens, Mr. Carle was born in Lowell, Mass., March II, 1847, and came with his parents to Rock county in 1852. Receiving a com- mon school educati()n he started out early to rely upon his own resources. In 1858 he entered the grocery business in Janesville, which he conducted for 21 years successfully. He retired from the retail trade in 1879 and moved to Chi- cago, where for four years he was en- gaged in a large wholesale grocery business. He then returned to Janes- ville, and with his son.

Detroit. Mich., June til. There has been a gradual toning up in both the leaf tobacco and ci- ^ar markets during the last few- weeks. During the past week this has been especially noticeable. De- troit and Michigan tobacco men are gradually recovering from the effects of the blow which the prohibition forces dealt them in the spring elec- tions, and, in many cases, the aug- mented demand from other sources has more than atoned for the trade lost through 800 saloons going out •of business. In fact, many Detroit factories did not cater to the saloon trade at all, and the sweeping victory -of the dry forces was not felt by them. Then, too, in the affected districts the tobacco, drug and ether stores which carrry a line of tobacco report an increased trade, and this has serv- ed the purpose of bettering general •conditions. Several Detroit factories :are running overtime in an effort to keep up with orders, and not a few managers report considerable diffi- <:ulty in securing suitable help. By ^'suitable help" they mean experienc- •ed workers; men who can make an appreciable profit for the firm in a day's work. One manager said he had strings out in a number of the large cities of the Union, and thus far he was unable to get but few men who met the requirements. Common labor is plentiful; in fact, too plenti- ful. The uncertainty in general business circles has had little effect on the ci- gar and tobacco trade. It is a proven fact that in Detroit no matter how the business world is ailing, cigar and leaf tobacco men keep plugging away with practically the same forces. This ■does not necessarily mean that there are no lulls in trade here. On the contrary they occur quite frequently, but generally they do not last long enough to cause any great apprehen- sion. Even now, with many of the factories putting in extra time, busi- ness has been somewhat curtailed by the summer season. ^: centage of breakage, but in the end they are cheaper for the prices of the wooden boxes are going up all ti.e time. The packages are attrac- tive, and the cigars will not dry out so c|uick]y in them. With the cedar box you can break, shatter or do mo-^t anything with it, but the scent of tobacco clings to it." The San Telmo Cigar Company, of Detroit, is dickering with the Wyan- dotte Improvement & Business Men's Association, for the location of a plant in Wyandotte. The associa- tion is keen after the institution, and, it is said, if the cigar company is giv- en suitable inducements it will locate in the suburban town. If conditions are satisfactory it is said the branch will employ 150 men and women. Several business men's associations of various towns " in Michigan are corresponding with cigar and leaf to- bacco concerns in the large cities of the- State, as well as outside cities, in an -effort to induce cig|ir and tobacco factories to locate. Just recently the business men's association of a southern Michigan town threw at- tractive inducements to a Chicago concern if it would locate in the dis- trict. Business men appreciate a good tobacco factory. They insist it is a good advertisement, as well as a winner for the town. Frank Loselle, of Wyandotte, has a new cigar store. Business is good with H. S. Mitch- ell, a River Rouge cigar man. Burglars forced an entrance into Storz's drug store in Royal Oak, and a quantity of cigars and tobacco was taken. A representative of John T. Wood- house & Co., Detroit, says that trade has improved during the past week. A clear Havana cigar, the first to be put out by a Detroit cigar fac- tory, is being advertised bv a local concern. 0. H. Herrick, of Durand, is erect- ing a new building, which will be used for a cigar shop. »@^8I||H^ Manufacturers or IHPJgi 3f2-3l4-3i6 PROADWAY, NEW YORK Trays, Match Safes, Cigar Cases, etc. A Complete Line of Articles Specially Suited for Cigar Manufacturers ^ STEPHEN F.

Trade Notet*. John H. Goetze, the Water street leaf dealer, has returned from his visit .to Amsterdam. S. R. Moss, of the S. R. M'oss Cigar Company, Lancaster, Pa., was a visitor to this city last week. The United Company's cigar store at 21 Beaver street recently suffered a fire damage of about $1000. "Salvador Rodriguez, of "Charles the Creat" cigar fame, has gone from Tam- pa for a short visit to New York. A new retail store has been opened at 173 Lenox street, by E. J. Lubo- vitz, cigar manufacturer and retailer, at ■^5 Grand street. Mr. Lubovitz will operate both establishments. An advance has been announced in the price of Royal Bengal Little Ci- gars.

Paris, representing the Man- chester Cigar Manufacturing Com- pany, Baltimore, Md.. was here all the week on his intial trip, and suc- ceeded in taking a number of orders for Match It, 5 for 10 cent cheroots, which enjoy quite a sale down East. Henry Abrahams, secretary of Lo- cal No. 97, of the Cigarmakers' In- ternational Union, is being congratu- lated on his thirty-sixth consecutive election to that office, his choice being unanimous at the election held this week. Other unanimous elections were Lew Wiener, for President; Jno. Lipp, for Secretary-treasurer — his tenth term; Michael Park, for Ser- geant of Arms — his twenty-eighth term; and P. H. Appell, for head of Finance Committee. John Hurley has opened an up-to- date cigar and tobacco store on Broadway, Chelsea. Mr. Hurley was for many years with "Tomfordes" on Court street, and had much experi- ence in the cigar line. Louis Shapiro has returned from a very satisfactory trip down Maine, where the Xestor and Royal Nestor cigarettes are great sellers. A. F. Chandler has severed his con- nection with the Nestor Company, and has joined the selling force of M. Melachrino & Co., makers of the pop- ular Melachrino cigarettes. Mr. Chandler will cover Connecticut and the western part of Massachusetts for his new concern, and being very pop- ular in this territory he will no doubt prove to be a good acquisition to the hoitse. E. J. Mulligan has been calling on the beach trade this week, and took a number of orders for the Mela- chrino. The American Snuff Company has notified the jobbing trade that it has discontinued the gratis deal with the Seal brand, otherwise known as Gott- berg snufT. The American Tobacco Company has advanced the price of Royal Ben- gal little cigars (100 in a carton, or .')0 in fancy hinge box), and Royal Bengal Invincibles to $10..')0 per M., the price of Royal Bengal little ci- gars, packed 500 in a carton is $10.40 per M. The price of Big Four plug chew- ing tobacco advances a cent a pound on July 1st. This tobacco is now being made in 16-ounce plugs, four space and p.icked in 8 and 16-pound boxes. For the past six months a num- ber of independent match concerns have been doing an extensive busi- ness here, and I reported not long ago that there would probably be "something doing" before long, as the Diamond Match Company (the Match Trust) had about 75 per cent, of Bos- ton's match business. The Diamond Match Company has come out with the following gratis deal, which ends on June .30th, according to their cir- cular: With every purchase of 10 cases, one case is given free; with every 5 cases, a half case free; with 20 cases, 2 free, and so on. This deal refers to any of the following brands: Uncle Sam, Hub, Richmond Smokers and White Horse. Ben Ali. BETTER FEELING IN LANCASTER. No Great Amount of Business Yet Visible in Leaf Tobacco, But a Positive im- provement Has Been Noted in tlie Tone of the Marliet. Lancaster, Pa., June 21. Again there was not an overwhelm- ing amount of business done in the leaf market here, but the general tone has improved greatly, and in some special types a good volume of trade is reported to have been consum- mated. Seed leaf, it is true, has been moving somewhat slowly, but pack- ers have taken new vigor from the fact that cigar manufacturers are again showing signs of greater ac- tivity, and they take it for granted that if conditions with the manufac- turers continue to improve it will sooner or later redound also to their (the packers') benefit.

An exceptionally good sale is reported on all of the more popular of the local products. * ♦ * News reached here during the early part of last week of the death of L. B. Carle, a pioneer leaf tobacco pack- er and dealer of Janeville, Wis., who is known as one of the most substan- tial and enterprising tobacco men of that town. His death is deeply re- gretted by the entire trade with •whom he was personally ac(|uainted by reason of his visits to this city for many years past. His business here has always been confined to the larger houses and who hold for him the highest regards for his sterling integrity and lovable personal character. J. S. Batroff, a prominent local leaf tobacco broker, has represented the house of L. B. Carle & Son, in this city for many years past, and deeply regrets the death of the senior member of the firm, but is pleased that the business will be continued by the son, N. L. Carle, who has been associated with his father for the past twenty-eight years. Mr. Batroflf will continue in 12 his former capacity, as broker here for that firm. * * ♦ All branches of trade here are elated with the establishment of a new steamship line to southern ports. Not that it will probably find so much patronage from the tobacco trade, but they all recognize the fact that it is a good step in the right direction to have the new transportation line es- tablished with a terminal in this city. * * * .\t the inscription of Sumatra to- bacco at Amsterdam on Friday last, B. Labe & Sons procured 1.50 bales, which will be forwarded to Philadel- phia at once. Mr. Jacob Labe, of this firm, is .still in Europe, but is now expected to return very soon. * * * Mr. Adolph Loeb, of K. Strauss & Co., who sailed recently for Am- sterdam, will attend the remaining summer Inscriptions of Sumatra to- bacco. * * * S. Ottinger, of the Lancaster firm of Mitchell & Ottinger, handlers of I'Morida tobacco, was in this city this week accompanied by T. M. Mcin- tosh, of the Southern Tobacco Com- pany, of Quincy, Fla., showing the trade a new line of Florida tobaccos, and we arc informed that they met with a very cordial reception here and secured an encouraging amount of orders for their offerings. * * * A brilliant wedding took place last week at the Bellevue-Stratford Ho- tel. The contracting parties were Ralpli L. Levy, a prominent young business man of Scranton, Pa., to Miss Helen Langsdorf, daughter of Morris K. Langsdorf, proprietor of the cigar firm of Jacob Langsdorf's Son. After a tour through Europe, which will probably cover a period of a month or more, Mr. and Mrs. Levy will make their home in Scranton. * ♦ 4i Hayuk Brothers are advertising for additional cigarmakers. They have been having an exceptionally heavy run on their Havana Ribbon and other brands for several weeks past, and find it necessary to increase their output. ♦ ♦ ♦ The Theobald & Oppenheimer Co. are also among those who are now steadily increasing their forces, and particularly on the higher grades of goods made by them. This product is principally the output of tluir Phil- adelphia factory. * * * John H. Duys, of the Sumatra im- porting house of H. Duys & Co., Xew York, accompanied by the local representative of the tirni, Mr. J. Howard Grafilin, recently made the rounds of the trade in this city. ♦ ♦ * A. K. Moore, at 30 South Seventh street, has sold his retail cigar store to Thomas A. Herrman, who is ex- pecting to do a wholesale and re- tail trade. He has in contemplation a number of changes which are cal- culated to improve the appearance of the premises generally. * * * D. H. Mousdale, representing San- chez & Haya, makers of clear Ha- vana cigars, has been calling on the trade here recently. He reported a very satisfactory volume of business from this city, where the product of his factory are very favorably receiv- ed. 41 4t 4t Warren P. Gotwalts, of Hippie Bros. & Co., is this week touring through Pennsylvania, and from last accounts was meeting with encourag- ing success. ♦ * ♦ Salvatore Nato, a cigar salesman, of 57 Cemetery avenue, was shot through the body Tuesday morning in a street duel with a man who is described as liaving only one arm, a crippled leg and to weigh 210 i)ounds. Nato is in a serious condition at the Pennsylvania Hospital. His assailant calmly walked through the crowd which had collected- at the noise of the shooting, and board- ing a Chestnut Hill trolley car, at Eighth and Christian streets, made good his escape. According to the persons living in the neighborhood, the whole affair was pre- arranged. Shortly after midnight Tues- day morning Nato and the stranger had a quarrel in which Nato taunted the cripple about his deformities. A chal- lenge to.yfight> followed. Seventh and Catharine streets was chosen as the place, and the time as 10.15 A. M. .At the appointed hour the two met* met near the fruit stand of Pasquala Munzo. at Seventh and Catharine streets. They began firing at a dis- tance of four paces. The street was crowded with children at the time. Nato was shot in the right side, but continued firing at his opponent until his revolver was emptied. The strang- er also shot away all his cartridges. Then he turned and pushed his way through the crowd, which had collected,, and ran into a barber shop at 814 South Seventh street. Through this he made his way to Eighth street, where he took a car.

Concludeci (rom p. 11 in an improved condition now front all reports received during the past week, and it has been noticed that (|uite a few cigar manufacturers are beginning to advertise for additional hands. This is indeed the most en- couraging news that wc have had for several weeks, and it is hoi)ed that it will continue permanently. A few towns in the northern end of the county arc apparently still suffering from a slack demand for goods, but it is not unreasonable to expect that they, too, will be fniding an improve- ment ere long, as they generally par- ticipate in a fair share of business when there is any business at all. and since it is adtrtittedly improving in some sections of the county the other sections will no doubt also share in it in due course of time. Tobacco planting had a little set- back during the fore part of last week owing to the wet weather. Of course warm and damp days are very desir- able for tobacco planting, but a heavy downpour, such as we then had, is not propitious for that work, and it necessarily had to cease temporarily. The number of acres to be yet plant- ed is not very great, and if contin- uing good weather favors us by the end of this week that work will have been pretty well completed. A. H. Hershey, leaf packer, on New Holland avenue, has been late- ly making a few sales of leaf, and, in fact, his stock is now pretty well de- pleted. Here is a warehouse which Cs Shirk's New and Improved Ci^ar Box Stock Trimmer is a valuable machine in any ciffar box factory, for trimming or planing box boards or stock true to any desired width. Requires no greater power than the ordin- ary joiner. Very durably built, and of desirable design. For fuller particulars and price, address the manufacturer, P. E. SHIRK Blue Ball, Lancaster Co..

THE TOBACCO WORLD the writer wishes to refer to l)rietly. as it is ;m admirable example of the trail- formation of a l>uilclinj? that has stood the weather for a nuniher of years, hut which wa- l.itely turned into an ideal warehouse and offices. Tlie buikling is of brick construction, measuring (H) by 80 feet in dimen- sions, and consists of two stories and a basement. The b^isement is util- ized for offices, which are luxuriou- l}' rmisherl in hardw :( (1. and for as- sorting and i)acking roon^.s. all of ^vhich are separated bv heavy st mc \v;tlls, completely i^c,lat•ng one \r iva the other. an elegmt jn-otection against the rapid sprcid of fire if one should occur This fact it ai)pears ha-, been rec )gnized by the Under- writers' Association, and it had a very desirable effect in i)roviding ;i low insurance rate upon the building. The upper tl: ors are used for the storage of leaf, and the buildin-g is well ventilated, contains a steam-heat- ing outfit and all other modern im- provements, such as electric eleva- tors, etc. The location of the build- ing is alsj one of" close proximity to "railroad facilities, making the receipt anid shipment of giods e:isy and con- VeMent. U'itli the interior so well arranged. the exterior was also in every way improved by a thorough renovation and repainting until everything around the place is just as bright as -a new silver dollar. Sheriff ller- shey. a> he is familiarly known in the tr.'ide. has good reason to feel prcud of hi> business h.onie, and it is there that he spends the major i>:)r- tion of his time, for he is accustom- ed to keep in constant and close touch with his business. .\ new cigar factory has been start- ed at Charlotte and Marion streets b)' Doyle & C >., who have commenc- ed business in ;i mrulest way. but with fair prospects of an early and steady expansion of their operations. Teo. Rixby. with the I-lorida To- bacco Company, has been a recent visitor in the trade here, and reports an encouraging improvement in the demand for suitable Florida tobacco. John F. Heiland & Co., well-known brokers in leaf tobacco, have also handled several good-sized transac- tions during the present month, and a goodly number of smaller ones, so that, as they say, they really have no reason to complain of business at present. Charles J. Lederman, leaf dealer, has been on a business trip out of town for several days. Mitchell & Ottinger, who make I'lorida tobacco their specialty, report that during the past couple of weeks they have experienced a considerable increase in the volume of business done, and attribute it to the fact that as manufacturers of cigars are begin- ning to find a more ready demand for their product, they are inclined to buy more liberally. Sales during the past ten days are reported to have been the largest they have had since coming to Lancaster. J. Harry Albert, one of the pro- prietors of the Inland City Cigar Box Company, was married on Wednes- day last to Miss Margaret Zeller, an estimable young lady of Lancaster. 14 The wedtling took place in Lancas- ter, but the young couple are now out of town on a honeymoon trip. They carry with them the best wishes of hosts of friends. T. M. Mcintosh, associated with the Southern Tobacco Company, of Quincy, I'la.. has been in Lancaster for several days visiting the trade. While here he made his headquarters with Mitchell & Ottinger, at Chest- nut and Xorth Duke streets. Mr. Mc- intosh expects to visit Philadelphia and other points before returning to the South. .An inxentory has been filed of the bankrupt estate of William M. Amer, of Lititz. who is well-known as a manuf;ictiirer of cigar boxes and a packer of leaf tobacco. The appraise- ir.ent shows i)ersonal property of $'.);)rs and real estate of $17,800. Mr. .Amer was heavily interested in sev- eral* Lititz enteiprises. which later got into difficulty and have caused his own embarrassed position. A peculiar case was heard in, the United States District Court, at Pliil- adeli)hia, recently, when A. 15. Hess, a baker near Millway. this county, was tried on charges of perjury and false affidavit as surety on a cigar manufacturer's bond. Two years ag.) Mr. Hess became bondsman for a cigar manufacturer. It was alleged that at that time Mr. Hess made affidavit tha^ he owned property. He became bankrupt, and the allegation is that the discovery was then made that all Hess's prop- erty was in his wife's name, even at the time he went on t'.ie C!;.?:ir man- ufacturer's bond. Counsel for Hess. 1>. V. Davis, filed a demurrer to the indictment, and Court sustained it as to the count for perjurv. On the false .'iffidavit. Court went into a hearing. Mr. Davis on- tended that the .Act of Congress only applied to a case where forgery is alleged, and that there was no ref- erence to falsity of an affidavit. Af- ter a lengthy argument on both sides Judge Mcpherson ordered a verdict of not guilty, and Hess was dis- charged. The Lancaster County Tobacco Growers' .Association held its regu- lar monthly meeting on Monday af- ternoon last in the A. Herr Smith Memorial Library IJuilding. on North Duke street, and which was presid- ed over by B. Ezra Herr. the Presi- dent. Considerable discussion took place concerning the action of the Asso- ciation before the Congressional Committees, and it was finally agreed that the arguments presented should be sj)read upon the minutes of the Association. When the (jucstion of adoj)ting the new constitution and by-laws arose reference was made to the fact that the members had not been notified of the proposed action, and it was also found that the proposed consti- tution could not be found. In view of these circumstances action iieces- sarily had to be deferred. Mr. H. C. Reinhold suggested that some definite programme should be outfined for the next meeting of the Association. He read the titles of a number of papers, which he thought would be profitable for the Associa- tion to have presented by members and discussed. Mr. Grelder brought to the atten- tion of the Association the proposed action of Dr. F^rear to condnct about a half dozen experiments in this county with the idea of improving the seed leaf now being grown by our farmers. On motion it was decided to ap- point a committee which shall name two subjects for discussion at the next regular meeting in this city. John Weaver and J, A. Herr Avere appointed on the committee. They reported the subjects for discussion as "Is It Conducive to the Best In- terest of the Grower to Contract To- bacco on the Patch" — Amos Cooper; "The Past, Present and Future of Pennsylvania Tobacco" — AI. L. Grei- der. The report was approved. Mr. Herr asked the members if they believed that there had been a 10. I.") and :?() i^er cent, increase in the acreage of tobacco this year. It was thought that this might be ap- plied to potatoes, but that the acre- age of tobacco was about the same. It was also thought that ;d)out one- fourth of the acreage had already been planted. The Association adjourned after announcement had been made that the .\ugust meeting would be held at the Cocalico Experimental Station. TOBACCO TRADE NOTES FROM YORK ''Unusually Dull" the General Verdict, But Revenue Reports Indicate an increased Output in June. A'ork, Pa., June 21. The weather conditions being fa- vorable, tobacco farmers are busy set- ting out the plants, and work is now expected to move along all right. The soil is in good condition, and with sunshine and warm weather the farmers are happy. The revenue office reports indica- tions to the effect that the month of June will show an increase of busi- ness in this district. Tobacco deal- ers and cigar manufacturers who can be seen nightly congregated at the Colonial discussing the situation in the tobacco iiKirket voice the same sentiment of an unusual dull condi- tion, and there is no noticeable change for the betterment of the trade. Deputy Revenue Collector R. C. Liggitt, who returned from his west- ern vacation, and Deputy FVank Lin- dermuth, who had been seriously ill, are both busy instructing the respec- tive merchants and manufacturers to register to avoid penalties. Cigar manufacturers, when pressed for a reason why the output of cigars has fallen off so materially, assign vari- ous reasons, yet in sections the past week there are evidences of increas- ing business, and in spots factories are found where business is good. This condition prevails in Dallas- town. Red Lion and. Windsor, and again the major portion of factories are only working part time. At the Jacobi factory, at Windsor, orders are plentiful. At A. D. Fry's, G. W. Gable's and W. H. Snyder's there is a temporary increase, but as a whole the situation can be summed up in the words of the fisherman, who sought the bass, but returned home, remarking that "fishing is like the cigar business — very much on the bum." At Nashville, this county, H. V. Kohler has been unusually busy. Samuel and Charles Roseman, the well-known tobacco brokers of Red Lion, have purchased a large farm, in chance for a township, and will assume charge of the crops at once.

Trade in Milwaukee has been quiet durint:!^ the i)ast week, although some of the dealers report their usual business. .\l the Pfister place business is nor- mal. George lUish. formerly a singing teacher, has joined the road staff, and will travel through the State, being accomi)anied on his first trip by F. A. Tripp, with Berriman Bros. At Surman's business is quiet, and collections are only fair. Mr. Tripp, with the American VV'^est Indies Trad- ing Co.. was a caller this week. Steve is closin-j: out his line of Peterson pipes and is hel])ing the sale along with a dis- play in the windows. At the Wells Building store of Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. business has been quite good, and l)ox trade is moving well. Mr. Wettstein reports collec- tions good. A display of Espinas (Leo- pold Powell & Co.) in cedar boxes is being made. Allanson has a display of one of his private brands, Havana Breva; busi- ness is fairly good. The Abraham stores are all boosting Merits, one of their private brands, and the Wallocks Pufifs. Wholesale trade is fairly good. Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. rei)ort that a new man. \i. Witzman. will be put on in Illinois. Louis II. Conger has joined the ofitice force and will have charge of the travelers, under a new system which is being adopted. Paul Bryant, former manager of the Fifth street store of this firm, has resigned on ac- count of his health, and has been suc- ceeded by M. Voss. A. C. Collins, salesman for the Chas. Dcmovan Cigar Co., and their prede- cessors, the Chas. K. Phillips Co., has been arrested on the charge of col- lecting accounts and not turning in all the proceeds. Allen & Langemo, the Upper Avenue cigarists, have sold out to Geo. S. Mac- Fayden, who has completely remodeled the place, making it much more at- tractive. The stand is considered one of the good ones in this section of the city, and he lias good prospects for success. Bob Wirth, office manager for Leo Abraham & Co., is traveling in the West and will spend some time at Los Angeles, attending the Elks' Conven- tion. Among this week's trade visitors were: T. Englehardt. with T. Engle- hardt Co.; Chas. Gilman, with J. W. Merriam Co.; Leopold Powell, Harry Harris and J. B. Jeitles, with the firm of Jeitles & Blumenthal; Mike Rosen^ feld, with Salvadore Rodriguez, will be here June 23. At Janesville, Wis., Levy B. Carle, nestor of the tobacco industry in this State, died after quite an illness. Mr. Carle was one of the best-known men in the tobacco business in this part of the country, and his death is felt deep- ly by all who knew him. Krompas, Change in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal., June 14. After 20 years in the wholesale and retail cigar business in this city, An- thony Schwamm has sold his interests to J. E. Whiffen. Hereafter Mr. Schwamm will devote his time to other interests, and, incidentally, will give at- tention as usual to Democratic politics in this citv and county. E.

Jewell, of Melbourne, states that according to a report made by the tobacco expert to the Govern- ment of Victoria, tobacco growinjj; in that Australian State has made a mark- ed advance since 1901. In 1901 there were 103 acres under to- bacco, and the product amounted to 345 cwt. of dried leaf. By the season of 1907-8 the area under cultivation had increased to 345 acres and the product to 1767 cwt. During the same period the number of growers rose from 17 to 49. This year there will be a further increase in the area cultivated. The 'expert points out that it h:is been prov- ed that Victf)ria can produce a gof)d quality of cigar leaf, in spite of the be- lief of a number of manufacturers that it would be impf)ssible to do so in the State, owing to climatic conditions. There has also been an improvement in the quality of the leaf and. consequent- ly, an increase in prices. Pipe tobacco now sells at 14 to 18 cents per pound, while for cigar leaf 24 to 36 cents has been obtained, and in one instance 48 cents. Crops of 1000 to 1500 pounds of cured leaf per acre have been made, the value at present prices being 30 pounds ($145.99) U) 40 pounds ($194.66) per acre for pipe tobacco and as high as 100 pounds ($486.65) per acre for cigar leaf. Tlie Korean Tol>nft>4» >lark«>t. Consul General Thomas Sammons. at Seoul, (juotes the financial bureau of the Korean Government estimates that of Korea's native population of 9,583,- 346. a total of 3.876.033 are tobacco smokers, consuming annually 49,478,- 597 pounds of tobacco at an estimated cost of 80 cents for each smoker. The tobacco used is mostly of native pro- duction, and probably 20 per cent, of the Korean women are smokers. Ap- l^roximately $600,000 worth of foreign cigarettes are sold each year in Korea. Japan contributes about 50 per cent. o\ these imports and .Xmerican and Brit- ish interest'^ the bulk of the l)alance.

From PKiladelphia Public Ledger Lines for which a correspondent who rebukes men for smoking in the street will have to take the blame: Where shall the smoker look for peace, And whither shall he flee? Oh, when shall persecution cease, And what wash white the ebon fleece Of sheep so black as he? He must not smoke while on the street. Although the -auto may; While countless scent-waves far from sweet, Upon the passing nostril beat, And revel there all day. The smell of gas and gasoline. Of gutter, barrel, box, The critic noses reckon clean. Compared with naughty nicotine — *Tis nicotine that knocks. Suppose the smoker in the park. Cigar or pipe along; Why every bird from crow to lark, Scared by the smudge from off the spark. Withholds its gladsome song. The blossoms fade from meadows lush. Leaves wither on the limb, Spectators make a homeward rush. Exclaiming "faugh" and "pish" and "tush." All on account of him. Of course he's barred from every house. Because the poison fumes Di.stress the landlord and his spouse, Corrui)t the cabbage and the souse, .\nd scent uj) all the rooms. lie cannot smoke in cellar dank Where things to eat are stored. Ivcst viands catch an odor rank. .And be denounced by boarders frank. .\s (|uiie untit for board. In car or office, home or out. The smoker has no place; Hv scornful noses put to rout, lie's in a painful scrape, no doubt; Where shall he hide his face? It really seems there's nought to do. Less radical than die, .\nd take a chance in regions new. (Since here such chances are but few) Of smoking by and by. — Henry James. TRADE NOTES.

But there is work left for the most of theni. Their corn land has been a 'ong time planted, and the weeds got a good start. S'ome farmers are intending to put the cultivator through the rows, and after a few days comnu-nce the usual hoeing, using the I'rout hoe. Some will brush it (Hit with the hoe and some others will do very little beside.

NEW YORK STATE. South (Jranby. — IMants have come for- w.ird fast the i)ast week and several beds are ready for the plants this .week. Farm- ers have been- so . dfUiyeil .in putting in ' other crops that they revails. but the dis- position of packings is what concerns local dealers most. As far as indications go to date the '08 crop is coming along through tlie sweat in a very satisfactory eonditiou, with a promise of less damage than recent years. The planting of the new crop is now quite generally started, but frequent rains dtirlng the week are delaying the work somewhat. The bulk of the crop ought to be transferred to the fields the coming week to come within the usual dates for trans- planting in this State. It is almost cer- tain, however, that the season will lap over into July this year. Tlie shipments out of storage reach 1388 cases and 1 car of bundles from this mar- ket to all points for the week.

C, June. — Declar- ing that the American Tobacco com- pany, which is ordinarily spoken of as the tobacco trust, had been the recipient of many millions of dollars which otherwise would have gone into the national treasury, because of the failure of the government to require a .charge in the size of tobacco pack- ages when the war revenue law was repealed. Senator Beveridge to-day spoke at length in support of his amendment to the tariff bill correcting this omission. Mr. Beveridge declared that if adopted his amendment would give the government more than $21,- 000,000 of revenue and correct the wrong which the people had suffered for eight years. "When," he said, "the tariff bill came from the House to the Senate it increased the tax on cigar- ettes— a poor, miserable increase, yet the Finance Committee of the Senate actually has struck out this little in- crease on cigarettes." Mr. Beveridge asserted that the American tax on tobacco is only a frac- tion of the tax of most other civilized nations. Stating that the annual consumption of tobacco in this country amounts to five and a half pounds for every man, woman and child, he said that if we taxed tobacco at the same rate as is imposed by England and France, we would every year derive $333,386,666, instead of less than $50,000,000 as at present. Furthermore he asserted that the tobacco tax is now lower than at any previous time except for a few years prior to 1898. Quoting from a report of the Depart- ment of Commerce and Labor on the profits of the tobacco trust, which re- port Mr. Aldrich said had been brought to the attention of the Senate by the President. Mr. Beveridge said that the consumer had been required to pay the increased tax of 1898, and he conceded that this was right. "But," he said, "when the war was over and the added war tax was taken off, instead of reduc- ing the price to the consumer the manufacturers continued it, and this was wrong. In other words," he con- tinued, "the manufacturer kept on col- lecting the war tax after it had been taken off, and, instead of paying it to the government, he paid it to himself." "Indeed." he asserted, "that the price had been increased since that time." He then said: "This becomes all the more offensive when we reflect that the prof- its of the trust before and during the war tax were so great that the trust was able to crush competitors and es- tablish the foundations of that monop- oly which to-day is so nearly com- plete." Mr. Beveridge then entered upon a detailed account of the origin and growth of the present American To- bacco Company, with a capitalization of $247,292,100, an increase of almost $225,- 000,000 since the organization of the original tobacco company, in 1898, "and," he said, "if we include the nu- merous corporations in which it bought a control of the stock, and other cor- porations, which it formed the entire net capitalization of the trust amounts to about $317,000,000." Upon this capitalization most of which he de- clared to be water, he said profits in 1906 were almost $37,000,000. He de- clared that the American company had absorbed more than 250 separate con- cerns. Where necessary, it had under- sold competitors, and had even gone to the extent of purchasing many inde- pendent concerns and of keeping the purchase secret in order that it might use much concerns to wage still more effective warfare against other inde- pendents. He also charged that the. company had spent money to prevent adverse State legislation. "It has," he asserted, "entered every branch of tnt. business, and, excepting only cigars, has a larger monopolistic power than any business concern in the nation, except- ing the Standard Oil Company." Mr. Beveridge declared that the greater proportion of the proposed tax would fall upon the trust, which, he declared, is bitterly resisting the adop- tion of his amendment. He then en- tered upon a full analysis of the re- port of the Department of Commerce and Labor to substantiate his conten- tions. TOBACCO IN FOREIGN LANDS. A writer who has made a study of the tobacco monopolies of foreign countries has compiled quite a source of information on this subject, re- cently published. Every leaf of to- bacco grown in Japan belongs to the emperor. Anyone can grow the plant, but he must sell to the government, and no other, and at a price fixed by the buyer. The emperor in turn sells the product to manufacturers, and in this case the selling price is fixed by the seller. The difference between the em- peror's purchasing price and his selling price, both of which he regulates abso- lutely, is the profit he takes, and this amounts to something like fire million dollars a year. To fix the price at which the grower must sell, and then set the price at which the manufacturer must purchase, and take the difference, without consulting either of the end parties, would seeni to be as much as any ordinary trust magnate cares to do; but the emperor goes beyond this. He limits the area that can be devoted to tobacco cultivation, and if he makes a mistake in his calculations of this, and allows so much of the leaf to be grown that the demand will be too abundantly supplied, he corrects his mistake by simply ordering the growing stock on a few plantations destroyed. It is impos- sible to devise a more simple plan of regulating the supply and demand. In addition to all this, he puts a prohibit- ive tariff on tobacco, and thus effective- ly shuts out foreign competition. As a result the Japanese pay about twice as much for their tobacco as the residents of any other country. Other countries have seized upon the popularity of tobacco as a source, of revenue and converted the industry into a government monopoly; notably France and Italy. Y'rance not only controls the cultivation, importation and sale of tobacco, but also controls the manufacture. The industry *is a strictly maintained government monop- oly, from which the State receives more than ninety-three million dollars a year. The cultivation of the weed is carried on under very strict regulations and supervision by the government bureau maintained for that purpose. Every citizen is allowed to grow in his gar- den, for decorative purposes, two to- bacco plants. If he grows more than that, he must declare his intention, ob- tain a license, and register the num- ber of plants he wishes to cultivate. The only one of whom he may sell his stock is the government, which fixes the price to be paid. As the home production of tobacco does not equal the demand, being less than half the amount used in the French factories, tobacco leaves and stems are imported free of duty by the government; but their importation by private firms or individuals is prohibited. Each per- son is allowed to import twenty-two pounds of cigars a year, and no more, but on these he is required to pay a duty of about four dollars and a half a pound. It is needless to say that the quantity imported under these con- ditions by individuals is inconsiderable. In the tobacco business of Italy, which is also the king's own busi- ness, most of the product used in the government factories is imported, to a large extent from the United States. In spite of the fact that the government imports about fifteen thousand tons of tobacco more than it grows, the busi- ness nets the king thirty-five million dollars a year. The cultivation of to- bacco in Italy is subject to .so many rules and regulations that it is not generally carried on. Permission to cultivate tobacco must be obtained from the government, and the cultivation is under the control of the exise office. The tobacco thus grown must be either sold to the government, at an appraised price, or exported within three years. Italy is not yet. and will not be for years, if at all, in a condition to pro- duce the tobacco required for the mon- opoly, and must depend upon the Unit- ed States for the larger part of its supplies; therefore the price of the Italian's cigars is regulated to a cer- tain extent by the price of tobacco in this country. The government pays an average of about two hundred and fifty dollars a ton for American tobacco, and only about one hundred and fifty dol- lars for the home grown leaf. E. A.

Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. Boston, Mass.. June 28. Our retailers did not fare so well the past week, principally because of the extreme hot weather that struck Boston town. It was too warm to smoke. People hurried to country re- sorts, others took long trolley rides; some went to the beaches to take the baths, and cigars and tobacco did not enter their minds. The one thing they were looking for was a cool spot. Rev- ere Beach was well patronized all week. Saturday 'nearly 5000 persons went bathing from the State Bath House. The newspapers claim that over 150.- 000 persons visited the beach that day. S. H.

Reading, Pa.. June 26, 1909. Business in tobacco circles in Read^ ing is beginning to come back to some- thing like its old-time prosperous form. During this past week there was a marked inii)rovement, and the manu- facturers and i)ackers l)egin to see brighter times ahead. .\ccording to the report of the inter- nal revenue office, which is the bar- ometer of trade. During the week there were 2.619.230 cigars manufac- tured. This compares very favorably with last week and last month as well. One new factory opened. W. I. Sny- der filed a bond for the manufacture of cigars, at 151 W. Oley street. He was in business several years ago, but stop- ped when the hard times struck the section. It is a good evidence that they are past when he starts in business again. Born Bros.' big factory, at 328 North Ninth street, is doing a satisfactory business just now. Their leading brand "La R(xsa," a five-cent cigar, is being boomed, and the sales are good, espe- cially in local smoking circles. Local trade is the one which the factory caters to particularly, and the smokers are giving them all the orders they could wish. Indeed, the business is prospering so well that the firm con- templates renovating the interior of their factory shortly, and adding sev- eral needed imi)rovements in the line of new ecjuipment. J. W. Sheridan & Company. 133 Pearl street, are fairly busy just now. The trade in their cigars is good, and they are filling orders not only for local trade, but for the West. It is there that the goods are selling the best, for the pet)ple appreciate their make, and are sending in orders daily. Their best sellers are: "Otis Skinner" and ''Numerica," two five-cent brands; "Samuel J. Tilden" and "Principe de Paris," two Havana brands, that are deservedly popular. The Fleck Cigar Company. 138 , Orange street, is doing its usual good j business. Though it is nothing like it I was before the depression struck the I trade, the firm cannot complain, and has enough orders to keep it hustling, i The rush has been such that they have not been able to fill all their orders for [ the past two months, and thi.s, too, in j spite of the fact that they put on a fine, big addition, 30 by 60 feet, to their already commodious factory. Their best l)rands are the five-cent "Rose O' Cuba," and the ten-cent "Royal Rob." This latter is one of the best sellers in this section, and meets with favor wherever it is found. J. U. Fehr & Son, 700 Franklin street, one of the leading firms of pack- ers, reports that business is improv- ing, and they are getting in more or- ders than they have for some time, 'J'hey deal extensively in Pennsylvania tobacco, and while no large shipments have been made lately, as the trade did not warrant any heavy buying, things are expected to pick up and they will be ready for the demand.

There is not only a demand for goods. but everyone seems more willing to look at offerings than they have been, and that in itself is somewhat encour- aging. It is also known that some of the manufacturers who are not yet buying to any great extent will soon find it necessary to replenish their stock of raw material, as their busi- ness is showing a good improvement. The Sumatra market shows no par- ticular change, goods are being taken in moderate (luantities, but importa- tions by local houses are growing larger. In Havana tobacco there seems to be a rather steady market — in fact, some houses report a considerable brightening up. * * ♦ The cigar manufacturers of this city as a rule are now all fairly busy and ■with an exceptional few increased fa- cilities are becoming necessary. Just •what will be done to meet these exig- encies has not yet been fully decided by them. It is possible, however, that additif)nal factories will be opened. Re- ports from traveling salesmen are more encouraging than for some time past, and even mail orders are coming in at a far more rapid rate, altogether making the amount of business look more like the good old times of 1906 and 1907, * * * K. Strauss & Co. have received ad- vices from Mr. .\dolph Loeb that he had made some desirable purchases of Sumatra tobacco for the firm at the last inscription held at Amsterdam on the i8th inst. ♦ * ♦ Leopold Loeb & Co. were ala© among the purchasers of Sumatra to- bacco at the recent inscription held in Amsterdam. ♦ ♦ ♦ Hilbronner & Jacobs will soon give up their factory on North Eighth street, when the lease expires. They have completed arrangements by the erection of an addition to their Per- 12 kasie factory to increase their force of cigarmakers there, and will make their office headquarters then in the Denckla Building, at Eleventh and Market streets. Ht * * Sam. Jac«)bs is now taking up a summer home at Chelsea, N. J., while Mr. Hilbronner will occupy a cottage at Atlantic City, which he recently pur- chased for the benefit of his mother and sisters. ^Ir. Hilbronner left this week on one of his regular trips South. * ♦ * The Theobald & Oppenheimer Co. is having a heavy run of trade now, and every factory is taxed to its full ca- pacity in meeting the demand for their product. Mr. Kolb, president of the company, last week visited Connecti- cut to look over the leaf tobacco mar- kets. * * * -Mien R. Cressman's Sons are mak- ing rai)id progress in the expansion of trade on their "Counsellor" cigars in this city and vicinity. Philadelphia has been pretty well covered, and it is stated that there is scarcely a store in the city that does not now have the "Counsellor" on sale, and consequent- ly additional territory is being covered in the same systematic manner in which it was done in this city. Camden has already developed into a good market for their product and hundreds of signs are on display there, indicating that someone is continuing the good work across the river. * * ♦ Raymond A. Conover, a salesman with E. A. Calves & Co., returned last week from a trip through the Middle West, where, it is stated, he had a very satisfactory trade on their line of Ha- vana tobaccos. * * ♦ A new retail store has been opened at Broad and South streets by the United Cigar Stores Co., which is the first store that has been opened by them in what is called the downtown section of the city, although several stores are already in operation in the uptown districts. * i¥ * John W, King, representing Cuesta, Rey & Co., of Tampa, was among the recent visitors to dealers handling the higher grade of goods, and was show- ing several new things in the line ot clear Havana cigars. * ♦ * Mr. Levy, with the Empire Leaf To- bacco Co., recently returned from a trip through the New England States, where he had a satisfactory business, and reports that trade conditions there are also showing a steady improvement among the manufacturers. * * * C. W. Saunders, representing the Cortez factory of Key West, accom- panied by Mr. Joseph Myers, has been calling on the trade here recently. Some new accounts are being secured in this city on the Cortez line. * * * Sulzberger-Oppenheimer Co. are ad- vertising for additional hands. They are only one of a goodly number who have receiitly increased their force considerably. * * r Warren P. Gotwals, of Hippie Bros. & Co., returned last week from a busi- ness trip through Pennsylvania. Mr. Gotwals reports trade improving in the section traversed by him. * * * Frank Roland, of New York, was a visitor here last week in the interest • if Calixto Lopez & Co., makers of' the "Eden" brand of cigars in Havana. Mr. Roland is covering this territory in the absence of George Becker. 4^ if ♦ John R. Roalhe, of Maytown, Pa., was a visitor in the leaf market last week in the interest of the Hoflfman Leaf Tobacco Co., of Marietta, Pa. * * * Abe Pareira, formerly engaged in the leaf tobacco business here, has en- gaged himself as a salesman with L. P. Kimmig & Co., of this city. TRADE MARKS REGISTERED.

DEATH OF CHARLES BRENEISER Reading's Pioneer Cigar Manufacturer and Tobacconist Passes Away. special to -'The Tobacco World." Reading. Pa., June 30th. Chas. Breneiser, Sr., the founder of the firm of Chas. Breneiser & Sons, well known as cigar manufacturers, to- bacco manufacturers and wholesale and retail dealers in tobacco products, died to-day of general debility. Mr. Breneiser was 81 years of age and the pioneer in the cigar manufac- turing industry in this section of the country, having been engaged in that line since he was 20 years of age, or 61 years since he first entered the trade. He was a wealthy man and promi- nently identified with the leading finan- cial institutions of this city. His many friends were greatly shocked and much grieved at his death. Business will be continued as before by his sons, who have been associated in business with their father for some years past, Mr. Breneiser not having been actively engaged for the past few years.

Kahler Company, Inc.. 328-332 lUittonwood street, one of the largest cigar factories in Reading, ihids busi- ness pretty fair with many orders to keep all hands busy. Local trade is what they supply, and they are doing so well with it that they are more than satisfied with the way the smokers take to their brands. Their best sellers are their live-cent brands, "White Chief" and "Raron Knight," two delightful smf)kes. They are running full handed, and expect to continue so if Inisiness keeps on as good as it has been. The N. & N. Cigar Comi)any, 17 Xorth Eighth street, is pretty busy. Their best l)rand. "Jerry Murphy," is being advertised by them extensively, and they find tliis five-cent grade of giods meets with the requirements of the most fastidious snK)kcr in the lo- cal trade, this being the one they cater too the most. While H. D. Hackman, the well- known cigar manufacturer, of Womels- dorf, accom])anied by Koehler I Lack- man. Wright Hackman, Samuel Dis- singer, Josei^hine Dissinger and Prof. W.

The aut«j struck the fence and a telegraph ])ole, demolish- ing the body and lop of the machine. The nmning gear remained intact. The occui)ant> of the machine were thrown out. but fortunately escaped serious in- jury. At the John II. Witter factory, at Xewmanstown, they report that they are working uj) to the full capacity, and that they are looking forward to an excellent summer trade this year. Weidman ]iros. & Moyer, of Sinking Spring, cigar box manufacturers, who have also for many years operated at Womelsdorf, say business with them has been quite lively, although general- ly the cigar trade seems to have suffer- ed somewhat. Th-y are practical men at the business, and both establish- ments are turning out regularly quite a large amount of boxes each week. Charles S. PeilTer, of Stouchsburg, claims the distinction of being the only manufactiu-er in that section of the country having an internatioal trade. It appears that he has sold his cigars in Manchester. England. John K. Spangler, of the Ragic Cigar Company, Newmanstown, is quite cheerful at the fact that during the past month his business has shown a gain of 100 per cent, over the previous month, and he feels confident that trade conditions are bound to improve stead- ily from now on. J. H. Witter & Son, at Sheridan, say that their trade at present is better than normal. They seem to be thor- oughly enjoying the progress which their goods are making.

A London (Kngland) dispatch, dis- cussinu;^ the Finance bill recently adopt- ed by the British Parliament, refers, to the clauses deaiiivj^ with tobacco grow- ing in the United Kingdom as follows: ■'More important and more striking is a provision that "so much of any act as prohibits or restrains the growth, making or curing tobacco in Kngland or Scotland shall as from the first day of January, igio, cease to have effect.' What this means is the aljolition of the prohibition of a native tobacco indus- try. "There is no reason in the nature of things why as good tobacco should not be grown in tlie United Kingdom as in Holland or Germany or France. That it is not grown is simi)ly due to the veto imi)osed by the Treasury, because tobacco culture would involve the Revenue in the troidile of collect- ing an excise corresponding to the ci'stoms (hit}-. In the days when the consumption of tt)bacco was relatively small an 1 agriculture was heavily i)ro- tected, this kind of calculation may have justified itself, l.ut for many years its mr'inten nice has been a scandal. "Mr. LI lyd George has decided that it is time that this absurd anachronism, which sacrifu'ed the i)ossibility of a tlourishing industry to the convenience of the ta.x collector should be abol- ished. Ilenceforth an Excise duty is to replace prohibition, and the Excise duty is to correspond with the Cus- toms duty; as that the new industry may develop of its own strength, and in proi)ortion to its soundness, and not receive capital and labor artificially di- verted by protection to it from indus- tries in which they are more protitably employed."

VVashingtcju, July 2. Decision to recommend the prohibi- tion of prize coupons in tobacco and snuff packages and practical agreement to increases on most of the provisions of the tobacco schedule of the adminis- trative portion of the tariff bill were reached at a long session of the Re- publican members of a sub-committee of the Senate Finance Committee to- day. The increases will be made not only in the tax proposed by the House in plug and. cut tobacco, but on cigars, cigarettes, snuff and tobacco. The House provision relieving farm- ers who manufacture their tobacco into twist from the lax requirement has not yet been taken up, but the indications are unfavorable to the acceptance of that provision. The Democratic members of the committee may be called into consult- ation to-morrow. INCREASED TAX ON CIGARS BEATEN But Manufactured Tobacco Suffers by Adoption of the Beveridge Schedule. Washington, July 5. Cigar manufacturers, who were given a hearing to-day by the Sub-Commit- tee of the Senate Committee on Fi- nance, succeeded in defeating the pro- posed increase from $3 to $3.60 a thou- sand in the internal revenue tax on cigars. The sub-committee, however, vote'd to recommend increases on prac- tically all other forms of manufactured tobacco. When the full committee meets to- morrow it will consider the recom- mendations of the sub-committee, which are as follows: Snuff — 8 cents a pound, instead of the existing rate of 6 cents and 12 •cents, as proposed by the Beveridge amendment. Chewing and smoking tobacco — 8 cents a pound, instead of the existing rate of 6 cents and 9 cents, as pro- posed by the Beveridge amendment. Cigars weighing more than three pounds per thousand— $3 per thousand, which is the existing rate. It has been proposed to advance this rate to $3.60. The existing differential will also be recommended to be eliminated. Cigars weighing less than three pounds per thousand, commonly called •'little cigars"— $1 per thousand, the same as adopted by the House and recommended by the Beveridge amend- ment, instead of the existing rate of 54 cents. Cigarettes— a flat rate of $1.50 per thousand, instead of the existing rates of 54 cents and $1.08 per thousand, ac- cording to the value. The sub-committee will recommend also the adoption of the anti-coupon provision of the Beveridge amendment. Clash Between A. S. E. and the Burley Tobacco Society. Falmouth, Ky., July 2, 1909. Tobacco growers of Pendleton coun- ty held an important meeting at the Court House on Tuesday. The meet- ing was caused by a misunderstanding between the American Society of Equity and the Burley Tobacco So- ciety. The members of the A. S. of E. were ncjt in favor of the new contract for pooling the 1909 crop, and they threat- ened to sever their connection with the Burley Tobacco Society, draft a separate contract of their own, ignore the Burley Society and work in oppo- sition to them. President Clarence LeBus, Mr. A. L. Ferguson, members of the Execu- tive Committee of the Burley Society, and Miss Alice Lloyd were present and made speeches. They discussed the new contract and the matter of dissensions of the A. S. of E. The county union being in session in the Court House, they went before that body and reports were heard from nearly every local union in the coun- ty. All expressed a willingness to do the right thing in regard to the con- tract, but declared the Burley Society nnist come to equitable terms. Miss Lloyd upheld the contract in every particular. She emphasized the fact that the officers had profited by experiences of success, and ably con- ducting the pool for the other years and had tried to give the growers the benefit of this experience by drafting a new contract. The meeting had a tendency to al- lay harsh feeling for the present and no action will probably be taken until they can hear the decision of the dis- trict board at Winchester. Petition in Bankruptcy Filed. Waterbury, Conn., July 2. George E. Harrigan, a tobacconist, located at the corner of Grand and Bank streets, has filed a petition in 1)ankruptcy in Hartford. His store was recently closed by an attachment. His schedules show that he had liabilities of $2874.63, of which $2492.63 is unse- cured, and assets of $1300.31. of which $400 represents stock in trade, $600 machinery and tools, and $100 debts due on open account. Tobacco Warehouse Burned. Marion, Ky., July i. During a terrific rain and thunder- storm last Saturday night the Jarvis Tobacco Warehouse was struck by lightning and considerably damaged, making the second time the building has been struck by lightning. A number of telephone poles and trees were also destroyed. Unlawful to Sell "Makings," and Public Smoking is Taboo. From and after this date there will be no more cigarettes smoked in pub- lic within this State, and it will be un- lawful to sell the makings of the little "coffin nail" to any one under the age of twenty-one years. The stringent law which was passed at the recent session of the Legislature, almost without a dissenting vote, is as follows: '*It shall be unlawful for any person by himself, clerk, servant, employe or agent, directly or indirectly, upon any pretense or by any device to manu- facture, sell, exchange, barter, dispose of, or give away or keep for sale, any cigarettes, cigarette papers or cigarette wrappers or anything made or prepar- ed for the purpose of being filled with tobacco for smoking; and any person for the violation of the same shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon con- victioii shall for the first offense pay a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $25, and the costs of the prose- cution, and stand committed to the county jail until such costs are paid, and for the second and each subse- quent offense shall pay, upon convic- tion thereof, a fine of not more than $100 and the costs of prosecution, or be imprisoned in the county jail not to exceed thirty days. "Provided, that the provision here- of shall not apply to the sale of job- bers doing interstate business outside the State. "Any person under twenty-one years who shall smoke or use cigarettes in any form, on any public highway, street, park or other lands used for public ])urposes, or in any public place of business, shall be arrested by any officer of the law. cognizant of such offense; and, further, it shall be the duty of all such officers upon complaint of a citizen to arrest such offenders and take them to the proper Court. The Court shall impose a punishment at its discretion in any sum not to exceed $10, or imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed five days for each full sentence. "Any person who harbors any per- son under twenty years of age, or grants the privilege of gathering upon (tr frequenting any property or lands held by him for the purpose of in- dulging in the use of cigarettes in any form shall be held to the same penalty as provided in section I of this act; provided, that no part of this act shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of parents or lawful guard- ians in the rearing and management of their minor heirs or wards within the bounds of their own private premises." WHAT IS A CIGARETTE? Spokane, July 3. The new State law forbidding cigar- ette smoking was questioned on Wed- nesday, when Police Judge Mann dis- missed two prisoners, holding that the statute does not state what a cigar- ette is. "In my belief," said the Court, "a cigarette is a small cigar, but as for calling some tobacco rolled up in pa- per a cigarette, I cannot see it that way." To Consider and Act on Trade Matters for Mutual Benefit. Denver, Col., July i. Wholesale and retail cigar dealers, salesmen and clerks of the trade in Denver have united to form an organi- zation known as the Denver Cigar Dealers' Association, with more than $2,000,000 represented by the member- ship. An even hundred members are named as the charter members of the organization. It is reported that one of the first matters to be considered by the organization at its approaching smoker will be the dice games, the only game permitted since the police order against the slot machines. Many deal- ers report that tl>€y are losing money on the dice game, and it is said that the organization will attempt either to put an end to the game altogether or raise the limit. The object of the or- ganization is stated to be "to cure the ills that affect the trade from time to time," according to a letter to cigar men sent out by Frank Leahy, secre- tary. The following officers have been elected: President, Harry Robare; vice president, U. L. De Armond; sec- retary, Frank Leahy; treasurer, P. J, Schelle. The first social gathering of the as- sociation will be held July 14th, when the first annual banquet will he held at the Shirley Hotel. '<:^<^ NEW TOBACCO WORKS.

Iowa Attorney General So Rules, Despite Payment of Tax by Dealers. Des Moines, la., July j. That the sale of cigarettes in Iowa is a violation of law in si)ite of the payment by tlealers of a (juarterly tax of $75 is the rulinj^ of Attorney General H. W. Hyers in a letter to Jonh H. Hammond of the Boys' Trimmer Club. in which he s(junds the death knell of the cigarette business in Iowa. After July 4th county attorneys who fail to prosecute dealers for, selling cigarettes will be subject to removal proceedings under the new Cosstjn law. and the fifty Iowa tobacco shops where cigarettes are sold must either dispose of their stocks or face a criminal prose- cution. Mr. Hammond is State superinten- dent of the Trimmer Clubs. He an- nounced recently that in his opinion the law providing for an annual tax of $300 for dealers who handle cigarettes means (nily one thing — that cigarettes cannot be sold in Iowa — and that he would begin actions against dealers Avho handle the "coffin niils" soon af- ter July 4th. Mr. Byers holds that the law ex- pressly states the payment of a tax of $300 a year shall not act as a bar to prosecuticjn, and that the dealer who pays the tax is still subject to fine and imprisonment. At the request of Mr. Byers, Statte Senator George Cosson, special coun- sel in the Department of Justice, look- ed up the State and United States Su- preme Court decisions, which he says establish beyond any doubt the right of a State t(j collect a tax and at the same time to prosecute the man who pays it. The letter prepared by Senator Cos- son is as follows: "I am in receij)! of your connnuni- cation of the 24th inst.. advising that in a number of cities in this State mer- chants are openly advertising and making sales of cigarettes and ciga- rette pai)ers, and submitting the fol- lowing questions: " "First — Does the mulct cigarette ]aw found in section 5007 of the code protect the dealer in any maimer?

Reading, Pa., July 5. The death of Charles Breneiser, Sr., an extensive cigar manufacturer and wholesale tobacco dealer, which occur- red last week, was a great shock to the trade, as very few had known that Mr. Breneiser was ill. For the past year his health had been failing, but he was still able to be about and enjoy an occasional season of work. For several weeks he was compelled to remain indoors and during the last few days of his illness was bed-last. He was suffering with a complication of diseases. Mr. Breneiser was the senior mem- ber of the firm of Charles Breneiser & Sons. Seventh and Penn streets. He engaged in business in 1847. which gives him a mercantile career of 6^ years. He was born in this city oi» March 24, 1828. He obtained his early education in the public schools of this city when they were yet in a crude state. His attendance was limited, he- cause of the necessity of going to work at a very early age. The most essential and by far the most useful: part of his education was obtained by- his own efforts, and mainly through general reading and association witK men in the business world. He learn- ed two trades, cigarmaking and brick- laying, but followed the former. At the age of 20 he embarked in. the manufacture of cigars. The suc- cess he achieved and the standing of the house he founded arq testimonials . to his business ability. Until 1861 he was engaged exclusively in the manu- facture of cigars, but in that year he added to that business the related one of the wholesale tobacco trade. In ad- dition to his regular business, he was identified with many financial and in- dustrial enterprises closely , identified with the history and progress of Read- ing.

He was bed-fast only two days, lie engaged in the manu- facture f)t cigars on a small scale at Womelsdori ab;;ut a ye:ir and a half ago, and was doing splendidly when death overtook him. He leaves a widovy to mourn his loss. The employes of the Valentine cigar factory at VVomelsd;)rf are working full time.

On June. 30 the liscal year for 4he U. S. Internal Revenue Department ended, and some interesting figures for this district we-e given the folr lowers of the c mdi^ions of the to- bacco trade here. Figuring the an'iount of tobacco used and the number of cigars manu- factured during the year from the revenue receipts at the rate of 6c. per pound for tobacco and $3 per thou- sand for cigars, it is found that this district manufactured the enormous number of 117.416,090 cigars and used 245,708 '/_. pounds of tobacco. Even at tliat, however, the dull 3'ear ' hit tlie trade hard, and it fell way below the year of 1907- 190S. The receipts i)er month for this year are interesting. They are: Cigars. Tolntcco.

Though orders are nf)t piling in they are continuing steady, and that is all that can be hoped for just now. A. R. Orth. yj Xorth Fifth street, is doing a good business. His factory is running full time and making its leading brand, Fompey, to meet the demands of the local trade which this popular hvc-cent cigar supplies. Though there is nothing phenomenal about the sales, they are good. J. B. Mcrsinger's factory, 601 North Tenth street, shows signs of picking up in business and the men are work- ing full time. Their chief brand is Red Wing, a tive-cent cigar of de- served popularity. Their trade is mostly local, but is good. Dibert Bros., 231 Washington street, report a steady traje D. B. Goodling fac- tory. One of ihe nifinufacturers said he sees a return of rfctive work among all the factories in Loganville. Owing to quietude of business at Craley a number of cigarmakers have secured work at Lancaster. ]Many of the workmen at the Wind- sor cigar factory which closed during the week have- secured work at Dallas- town and at York from the United Cigar Manufacturers C(mipany. The special revenue agents who were V)n d 'tour or itTspection through the county have returned' tcj Philadelphia. Some uneasiness exists among manu- facturers, occasioned by the rumors of some irregularities being found, the ex- tent of which will be known only after the agents make their report to the Revenue Department at 'Washington. At Windsor additional hands were added to the W. H. Snyder factory. At G. W. Gable's there is an improve- ment noticed. L A. Shearer, in the in- terest of the Shearer & Co. factory, is on an extended business trip to the West. Chester Bull, a well-known cigarmaker of Windsor, has accepted a pcisition with the. Rapid Transit Com- pany, of Philadelphia. G. W. Loucks and Purd Smith have gone to York to work for the York City Cigar Com- pany. The Mf.narch Cigar Co., of Red Lion, is an enterprise that was com- menced about the first of this year. Their business is solely in manufacture and sale of cigars of quality regard- less of the price. While it is but a comparatively short time since the fac- tory was established, pretty good prog- ress has been rtiade. It was not alone ([uality that the house depended on t«* promote the sale of its product, but a high character and attractive package was also immediately adopted. Of course, like most new establishments, some difficulty was found in the intro- ducti(jn of the goods, but all such diffi- culties have been now overcome, and very much brighter prospects, as well as an already larger volume of business is now being secured. Everything con- sidered, the house has before it every prospect of gratifying success. One more thing may be justly said, and that is that the financial management of the factory is very capably handled by the owner, who is a man of wide experi- ence, and who has made other under- takings a success. Therefore, we be- speak for them a continuity of previous record, and satisfactory business deal- ings. H. F. Martin, who recently began manufacturing cigars in York, is one of the busy ones, and has been com- pelled to increase his force to fill or- ders promptly. Charlie. TAKING HEART AT LANCASTER Revenue Report Cause for Joy to Leaf Men and Manufacturers. Lancaster, July 6th. While there is still no large move- ment of leaf tobacco, the report of the Collector of Internal Revenue is highly- encouraging to the leaf man as well as to the cigar manufacturers. There are stronger indications that the time is not far distant when there will of necessity be a stronger demand for raw material, and the best that tobacco men can now do JS| to sit calmly by and await the time when the manufacturers will need their goods. It is doubtful if large quantities could be sold immediately if great effort were made and a good deal of money expended in the effort, where- as, by waiting the right time the manu- facturers will be glad to look over goods and also to make selections of stock, ft)r if the increase of output es- tablished during the month of June continues any time at all the manufac- turer will be forced to replenish his stocks. * The revenue report shows that Splen- did gains were made during the mohth (jf June, and indications are that i^his rate will be maintained now for some time. It was noticed that during .the past week or two the manufacturers were getting in larger orders and rnjore of them than they had been for sdme time. The weather conditions have become more favorable to the new crop of to- bacco, and a few warm nights will work wonders in its growth. There were comparatively few visitors in this city during the past week. Evi- dently the approach of the great Na- tional Holiday was a cause of their noted absence. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Phil has already made himself very pop- ular with the people in his neighbitr- ho(jd, and once he makes a customer they stick to him like glue. Phil is having much success with a 5-cent union-made cigar called Corner Smoker, and his leader in lo-cent goods is the Norfolk House perfecto and londres. made up for him by the well- known New York cigar manufacturers. W. K. Baker & Co. Charles Bernhardt (Schinasi Bros.) worked Lyini the past week and re- ports business good in that town. He placed the Royal cigarettes in every got)d store there. Charlie left Satur- day night to spend the "Fourth" at his home in New York. The new 20-cent size of the Egyptian Prettiest is dupli- cating nicely in Boston with the l)etter class of retailers. Frank Taylor (Goldsmith Silver Co.) spent the past week calling on the trade along the Cape towns and states that the M. C. A. is one of the best sel- lers in 10-cent cigars along this route. There is no truth in the many ru- mors recently circulated regarding the absori)tion of the .^dams House drug store by the Jaynes-Riker Company. It ai)pears that the Riker concern had made the fcjrmer an otlfer to purchase their business, which offer was flatly refused. The Marlboro Cigar Company is meeting with nnich success in distribut- ing Langdorf's famous seed and Ha- vana cigars. Brother Williams is do- ing some clever work in connection with it. Business is coming along nicely at the John J. Bagley & Co. headquar- ters, .u Broad street. Frank 11. Rosc- booni. who rej)rcsents this large West- ern concern, states that the sale of Buckingham cut plug increased 40 per cent, during the month of June over the previous month. Much sampling is being done and ct)nsiderable advertis- ing is being distributed. Mr. Rose- boom claims that the increase of busi- ness is principally due to the fact that the Buckingham tobacco is free of any (lope, and a snn)ker of this brand will not be troubled with any biting of the tongue or with any troubles of the heart, and hence this tt)bacco is bound to sell well wherever placed. Julius Dobson, formerly a retailer in East Boston, has just purchased the Wallace cigar store, on Cooper street, this city. The new smoke shop on Central |>quare, Lynn, is doing a tine cigar ])usiness. They are selling the popular brands of lo-cent cigars for 7 cents. Their window display this week of the Royal cigarettes, with the large Royal auto made up of dummy packages, is receiving much attention from passers- by. Frye Bros., prominent retailers and cigar manufacturers in Salem, Mass., report business very good. They are ntjw working 20 cigar makers. Their new brand of clear Havanas. Elfrybro, is catching on nicely and is well placed not alone in Salem, but in many of the suburban towns as well. The work- manship of the cigar is perfect and the quality is equal that of any Key West (»r Tampa made product. Charles Badia, a knight of the strop, with a place of business at 96 Union street, has learned that the market l)rice for practical jokes, as calculated by Judge Parmenter. is $50 per joke.

Kdgerton. — The planting of the new crop has progressed so nieely during the week that jiossibly JM) jjer cent, of the Intended acreage has lieen safely transferred to the tlelds by the dose of .June, so that a few days more will see the crop out within the usual planting limits. The soil was in sucli excellent condition to receive the young plants that th»> growth has hardly been checked In the triinsplanting and the early tlelds are reported to l>e looking splendid. So far, too, but little complaint is heard of the work of cut worms anil growers generally feel very well pleased at the l» resent outlook.

Protesting vigorously against the effort to prevent the use of the cou- pon system of stimulating trade, rep- resentatives of the American Tobac- co Company were heard on Wednes- day by a sub-committee of the Sen- ate Committee on Finance in opposi- tion to the Heveridge amendment to the tariff bill. These amendments provide for the restoration of the sizes of packages of smoking tobacco as they existed before the imposition of a war tax. and for the prohibition of the use of premium coupons. The arguments against the pro- posed measures were made by Attor- neys Parker a; d Wilcox for the American Tobacco Company. No par- ticular objection was raised against the amendment affecting the size of packages. "UNITED" in SALT LAKE CITY. Five Chain Stores to Compete with the Local Dealers. Salt Lake City, Utah., July 8. B. B. Rich, representative of the United Cigar stores, has been a visit- or in Salt Lake City. While here he se- cured the location at 15 East Second South street and will open there about August 15. In the meantime the place will be remodeled for an up- to-date cigar stand at an expense of about $1(),()(M). Mr. Rich says his com- pany will open in all about five stores in Salt Lake City. The announcement that the United Cigar Stores Company would invade Salt Lake was first made about three montlis ago, when the local cigar dealers formed an association. Ju- lius Frumkin, jircsident of the local association, said he would have a statement to give out after confer- ring with the Executive Committee. The range of prices maintained by the United Cigar Stores Company is lower than the schedule now in effect in Salt Lake City. There is naturally some curiosity among the smokers as to wdicther the local stores will meet the cut which it is expected the big company will put into effect. Fred Kustcr, proprietor of the Fleur de Lis, said that the local deal- ers are not worrying over the situa- tion, and he did not believe they would cut prices. OLD VIRGINIA PROTESTS. Old Point, Va., July 7. At the final session of the Tobacco Association of the United States to- day, the President was instructed to appoint a committee of five with au- thority to go to Washington to pro- test against the proposed increase in the ta.x on tobacco. Money Said to Have Been Given as a Bribe May Go to Charity. Indianapolis, July 9. C^scar A. Baker, agent of the Amer- ican Tobacco Company, who fled the State after being indicted for at- tempting to bribe a legislator to vote against the anti-cigarette bill, appear- ed in Court Tuesday morning ai:d the indictment against him was dismis- sed. The legislator tt) whom Baker was charged with giving $100,000 has since died and there was no other witness. "Mr. Baker, T have $100,000 in my possession and if you want to give me a receipt for it I will gladly re- tm'n it to you," said Prosecutor Hoot en. "I don't know anything about that money," Baker replied, declining to fall into the trap, "f never had any- thing to do with it." John W. Kern, who was Baker's at- torney, said in his behalf that Baker disclaimed any interest in the $100,000 and that as far as he was concerned the American Tobacco Company had no claim to it. "Just turn it over to some charity," said Kern. "I under- stand the Old Folks' Home needs some money." NIGHT RIDERS THREATEN THE SENATE AND THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY How the Upper House of Congress Proposes to Tax the Soothing Weed. Full Text of the New Tobacco Schedule as Revised by the Senate. War on Tobacco Growers Who Refuse to Join Them. Buyers Warned. Madisonville, Ky., July 7, 1909. The Madisonville Journal is in re- ceipt of a letter from a camp of night riders at Princeton, threatening to- bacco growers in Hopkins county if they do not join the association. It says: "Every man that stays out of the association in Hopkins county may depend on getting his back skinned and fire struck to his barn. We want to say to any man that intends to buy tobacco in Hopkins county that we have got plenty of hemp rope and bidlets, and you may depend on hav- ing it used on you. ^M,'^. "Night riders, 300 strong." "ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE." Anti-Cigarette Law of Washington Con- flicts with Interstate Commerce Law. Tacoma, Wash., July 10. Judge Clifford, of the Superior Court, declared the new State anti- cigarette law to be unconstitutional yesterday, on the ground that it was in conflict with the provisions of the Interstate Commerce law. An effort was made recently to enforce the law in various cities throughout the State. Among those arrested .for smoking cigarettes or having them in their possession were a number of visitors to the Pacific Exposition in Seattle. Washington, July g. Tt was precisely 12.02 o'clock when Crockett, the clerk of the Senate, ap- peared in front of the Speaker's ros- trum in the House and announced that the Senate had passed tlie tariff bill. He had the bulky document with him, and turned it over to one of the House officials. Two minutes later, on motion of Mr. Payne, the House took a recess until I o'clock to permit the Committee on Rules to meet with a view to deciding ui)on a course of procedure in reference to the tariff bill to be recommended to the House.

Orders are slack and ought to be better. The exports since the first of the year up to June ]5th show a falling off of 2,()38.8()7 cigars. as compared with the same period in 1908. This may be partly accounted for, however, by the increased duty in England and the almost decided in- crease in the duty on Havana cigars in Germany, which is restraining bus- iness now and has affected business for several niontlis past. The demand on the part of the American trade seems to be improving, although not to any very . great extent. The total exports in the first half of June were G,44U.(i40 cigars. H. Upmann & Co. have shipped 500,000 cigars of their own H. Up- .mann brand and of other independent ■brands. La Diligencia reports an improve- ment lately in orders, and shipments of this brand to the South are very large. This week Moreda & Com- pany received some particularly nice ■orders from St. Louis. Behrens & Co. have on file enough orders to keep the factory busy for several months to come. BIVING , SKLI.IXG AXD OTHKK KOTKS OF IM'KRKST. A. Santaella arrived recently. Since his arrival he has closed numerous transactions which greatly increase the Optimo factory's stock of Hav- ana tobacco. Ernest EUinger arrived last Wed- nesday, to spend a month in Culxi organizing the Cuban end of his business which was recently trans- ferred to .'i.'S-a? Estrella street. This warehouse, as has previously been re ported, was lately vacated by Cano y ITno, and is specially adapted for the purpose for which it is at present being used. Mr. EUinger has already began to treat on some tobac- co and may greatly increase his pres- ent stock during his stay here. Matt Wengler, of the firm of Wen- gler & Mandell, Chicago, has nearly finished his purchases and expects to leave this week. He has spent sev- eral weeks looking for the best tobac- cos and has succeeded very well, ac- cording to my knowledge of his lat- est purchases. Garcia & Co., the Havana end of F. Miranda & Co., is being managed now by Norberto Cueva, who recent- ly arrived and took charge until the return of Manuel Garcia, who about a week ago took passage on the Span- ish steamer for a vacation in his na- tive country. Louis Jacobs was very successful in the short time he was here in find- ing just what his firm of Rosenstadt & Jacobs needed in the Havana line. He departed on Saturday. Edgar J. Stachclberg arrived this week from Tampa and has come over to look at some tobaccos on which he regotiated when here a few weeks ago, but which were not yet packed at that time. The tobacco is arriving now and he comes to see if it reach- es his expectations. A. M. Calzada & Co. contemplate removing their Partido packing, which was to be fini^^hed in this city, to El Cotorro. a village not far distant from Havana. J. A. Lozano returned to Tampa last week. Mr. Lozano purchased consid- erably and increased F. Lozano Sons & Company's stock of Havana tobacco by several hundred bales of Partido re- sagos and wrappers. Jose Vega, formerly Havana repre- sentative of Leonard Friedman & Co., and who was very favorably known to the trade, was buried last week. Charles Blasco has greatly enlarged his warehouse at No. i O'Reilly street, and the additional space will give him room for several thousand bales more, making the total capacity (jf this ware- house very large for a private concern. The firm has also another storage house at No. 6 O'Reilly street just as well adapted for the storage of to- bacc(j. lleinrich Neuberger is buying con- siderably for the German house, and shipments every week are large. J. Bernheim & Son made a shipment per S. S. Monterey of 796 bales for one customer. This firm has been shipping very largely recently. J. F. Berndes & Co. shipped to Ger- many last Saturday 404 bales to differ- ent customers, KKCKIFTS OF TOBACrO FROM THE COIM'RY Weekending Since Jan.

Nearly every dealer in tobacco and cigarettes in this city has been sup- plied with one of the new posters is- sued last week by the police depart- ment, setting forth the rules which are to be followed regarding the sell- ing of tobacco, snuff or cigarettes to minors, and within a short time the police will commence to prosecute any persons not so supplied. The rules were issued last week from the office of Superintendent Pierce, and were set forth on a poster containing the rule in letters of 18- point capitals, bold face. The rule is Section 3 of Chapter 34G of the acts of 1909, and reads as follows: Section 3. — Whoever sells a ciga- rette to a person under 18 years of age, or whoever sells snuff or to- bacco in any of its forms to a per- son under 10 years of age, or, not be- Continued on p. 16, OMiCS AOOHCSS'CAkOA' CHARLES BLASCO Ission Merchant L.eaf Tobacco and 1 O'Reilly St. £^^: Habana, Cuba GONZALEZZ Y MIGUEL Almacenistas de Tabaeo en Rama Especialidad en Tabaeo de Santa Clara de Primera Glase Cable: -CASIN" AMISTAD 97, HABANA* LUIS MARX Tobacco Grower No. 8 Cuba Street Post Office Box 77 HABANA /■^ E.

Wis., July 1, 1909. Trade in Milwaukee during the past week has been very quiet. The weather has been hot and disagree- able. At Surman's business has been only fair, Steve will return from his vaca- tion on Monday; from all indications he had an enjoyable time. At the Wells Building store Ralph Wettstein reports trade quiet and col- lections fair. A display of the Far- ragut cigar is still being made, while in the other window water pipes are heing featured, and a demontration will be made on Monday. At the Pabst Building store of Fay Lewis & Bro. Co., trade has been fairly good. The Tom Moore and Limit are still being featured. Business at the Abraham stores has been reasonably good. Carl Peter- son, who has been assisting at the Caswell Block Store since Mr. Feiger returned, will leave shortly for Min- neapolis, his home, and will probably accept a position in that city. At Allanson's trade has been quite good, while McGuire has done his share during the week past. Meister is enjoying a fair trade at his stand, while McFayden has also been doing good. At the Fifth street store of Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. trade has been good, the Optimo is being given a boost with a window display. The drug trade reports business rea- sonably good. The Brayton Manufacturing Com- pany, manufacturers of cigar box lid holders, arc working all hands every day. Business with them is good. The holders, which are among the best on the market, are taking well with the trade. Coleman & Perrigo, proprietors of the Third street billiard hall, have dissolved partnership, Hal Coleman succeeding to the business. This is considered one of the best halls in this part of the country, and the pa- tronage is of the better class of trade. Aug Bush, who recently joined the road staff of the Pfister Cigar Com- pany, has resigned. Charles Engel, who has been con- nected with the Lederer store, and later with the Fay Lewis & Bro. Co.. has sent in his resignation. There were but few trade visitors here during the past week. William Sheridan, of Park & Tilford, and L M. Lederer visited the trade.

The legitimate tobacco trade has lost and suffered much through the promo- tion of gift schemes, gambling devices and other (juestionable agencies em- ployed to create demand for inferior goods. No other great factor in the commerce of the country has ever found it necessary to issue coupons, trading stamps, rebate certificates, tags or "wrappers" to insure a market for a staple product. The time has come when all such methods of diverting trade must be prohibited, and with the time has ct)me the opportunity. The Aldrich-Payne Tariff Bill now pending before Congress carries with it an amendment offered by Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, which, if the House concurs, will forever prohibit any manufacturer, jobber or dealer in tobacco from offering with his goods any coupon, certificate, ticket, tag or device which may be exchanged for any prize, rebate or other considera- tion.

BETTER FEELING IN LANCASTER. Internal Revenue Report for June Gives Much Encouragement. Lancaster, July 12th. The month of June has shown up in much better shape in the production of cigars in this district than the month of May, and that is what has been predicted in these columns sev- eral times during the month. There was paid in stamp purchases during the month $175,241.88, which repre- sents a production of 58,413,960 cigars. In the month of May the production was 48,198.700, showing an increase for the month of June over the month of May of 10,315,260. But it must be remembered that during the month of June in 1908 the production of cigars in this district was 62,401,460, and that for the ten years past the June pro- duction had been falling below the high-water mark of 1900. These figures for June are neverthe- less encouraging since it is taken as an indication that the trade will prob- ably continue on more actively now throughout the summer.

DANDY DEMAND IN DETROIT. Tobacco and Cigar Men Rejoicing Over Steadily Growing Business. Detrtiit lUircau "The Tobacco World," 535 Campbell avenue. Detroit. Mich. July 12. Detroit cigar an 1 tobacc > men con- tinue to report an increasing demand. In a recent interview a local manu- facturer e.\pres.-ed the belief that the present trade exceeded anything of previr)us seasons. Though the tobacco business always improves in this dis- trict with warm weather the present unprecedented demand has caught some tnannfacturers. and these are jdanning ( n running overtime in the next two ((r three weeks. The cigar trade is especially active. Wholesalers and retailers in all parts of the city and State are active buy- ers. In fact, some dealers report con- siderable difficulty in getting stocks. Many wholesalers and manufacturers have exhausted sti cks. and in some instances i:-r every order delivered there ar- i:,\\r huyirs. The aelii n of Congress regarding the tobacco tariff has recalled to the minds of Detrwit dealers just such a condition a.s i)revai!ed during the Span- ish-.Anierican war. Then Congress de- clared a duty on unboxed tobacco, the same to take elTect six months from the passage thereof. hnmediately on receipt of the news local manufactu- rers put on additional help, and in the six months ]nn uj) enough tobacco to supply their needs for three years to come. Local cigar manufacturers are still reporting a difficidty in getting suit- able help. Nelson A. Roberts, of the La Palla Cigar Company, insists aid will have to come to them soon or it will take them a year to get their heads above the stack of orders re- ceived. With the picking up in the cigar and tobacc(» demand allied interests arc also making a showing. The various cigar box and tobacco caddy maiui- facturcrs about the city report a de- cided increase in the demand for cases. Grigg Hanna Co., manufacturers of wooden boxes for the trade, are nm- ning full force and full time, some- Wiing decidedly unusital for them at this season of the year. The difTcrent cigar box manufacturers are also 14 » perking up, and with the increased trade comes the news that 1909 will l)rol)ably eclipse other years in the lo' cal box business. Collector Malcolm J. McLeod says there were 223,410.394 cigars made in Michigan the last fiscal year on which taxes were paid during the same per- iod and Uncle Sam collected a total of $670,231. i A.

July 10. 1909. The farmers of lower Berks county and the Conestoga Valley who are engaged in the growing of tobacco have completed the planting. It is es- timated that in the vicinity of Mor- gantown, Berks county, over 75 acres are given over to this crop. The number of plants required for an acre is about 5500. Most of the planting is done by machinery. The usual price is 40 cents an acre. By this method more rapid work can be accomplished and with greater ease. The machines are so constructed that before the plant is set a quantity of water is dropped at the desired place of planting. Stephen Stolzfus is the commercial grower of tobacco plants in that lo- cality. He has extensive beds and tFurnishes large orders of plants. Over ,50,000 plants were pulled at one time. Early plants are often sold at the rate of $1 per 1000, while later plants command a lower figure. To- bacco farming is being introduced in- to the sandstone region near Hay Creek Mills, where John McCormick, a farmer and trucker, has planted over an acre. The will of Charles Brenciser, Sr.. of the well-known tobacco firm of Charles Breneiser & Sons, was filed for probate with Register of Wills Gregory here last Friday, and letters .were granted to his four sons. Al- though the estimated value of the es- tate is given as $100,000 in per.sonal property and $150,000 in real estate, it is thought that the aggregate sum will reach fully $500,000. The will is a carefully drawn instrument. The sum of $1700 is distributed to charity and the bulk of the estate is divided among the six surviving children. The business will be continued .= by the sons. The Runner Cigar Company, of An- gelica, Berks county, A. Kratz, pro- prietor, filed a closing inventory with Deputy Revenue Collector F. W. Cranston. Mr. Kratz has entered the employ of C. Shirk & Son, wholesale tobacconists, of Reading. Charles J. Eisenlohr, accompanied by Superintendent A. H. Eimerbrink, both of Philadelphia, members of the firm of Otto Eisenlohr & Bro., were at Boyertown last week and met a committee of nine representing the employes of the Boyertown factory, when the latter asked for better stock. Mr. Eisenlohr made an address to the employes and stated that the trouble would be remedied at once. Tom Moore, Fifth and Penn streets, known the State over as a to- bacconist of highly original ideas, scored a bull's eye in the week just past. In honor of the glorious Fourth he got out a special five-cent cigar called "Glory.^' His display of the new brand occupied his entire front window and was a symphony of pa- trlcttic colors. The original poetry which always goes with his displays was as usual a feature. The brand will not be made permanent, but will be withdrawn as soon as the goods arc sold. This will be very shortly, for there was a big demand for them and the Glories have gone up in smoke with gratifying quickness. J. M. Wcntzcl, 6:{0 Pear street, finds his local trade is steadily growing. He has been kept busy regularly and his cigars are meeting with favor everywhere. He has gone outside of the State limits recently and has even gone as far west as Oregon, having just ship- ped 1000 10-cent cigars to Portland in that State. It is unusual for Reading cigars to be in demand so far West, and j this fact is a source of gratifica- tion to Mr. Wentzel as a mark that his goods are attracting wide atten- tion. The standard brands which are used for the most of his trade are two five-cert ones. Maccabce and Bald- win, both excellent smokes. P. Blachman. 116 North N'inth street, is getting along all right in spite of the present dullness of trade. His trade is mostly local, but that is enough to keep him busy. His chief brands arc the five-cent Cincj and his 10-cent Upper Ten. Both names are expressive of the grade. V. Wilk, 100 West Oley street, has been having a fair trade. His Ger- mania brand, a fine five-cent smoke, has been much in demand in the local trade which he supplies mainly, and he has been hard at work. Mr. Wilk recently four.d prosperity good enough to stand the expense of hav- ing his factory painted and it looks as good as new. W. W. Prutzman, .314 South Fifth street, has a big local trade with his Greater Reading, a five-center. Things are not being rushed to any extent, but the trade has been such as to justify the hope that things will be much better shortly. E. M. Keller. Fourth and Franklin streets, finds trade better than it was. He has a good five-cent cigar in his Eye Opener, a standard brand about here. His success with it has led him to try a new blend and he expects to put a new brand on the market in two or three weeks. The name of it will be Taps, and he expects to advertise it extensively. He tried a new brandy .\U Scholastic, recently, but as he did not bother to \ixiign. Horace Stewart, a mem- ber of the firm, said that business had increased within the last six months in a very encouraging manner and they had hopes of it being better as. each week went by. This factory supplies local trade mostly, though its cigars meet with a big demand up through the coal re- gions. John Hay, a lO-center, and Eli Perkins, a five-center, are their main brand.^. and good ones, too. They have been making shipments all along of retail lots, which though not record-breaking were rather strong. The Reading Tobacco Manufactur- ing Company, 33 Carpenter street,, finds business is not so good. They have not as yet felt any difference iai the trade, but hope for better things. They have not had to make any large shipments lately owing to the slow condition of the trade, but feel that when business picks up they will have all they want. Robert P. Eiceman, a cigar manu- facturer of Womelsdorf. died on: Thursday, 1st instant, at St. Joseph's Hospital, Reading, following an oper- ation for appendicitis. He was 26 years of age and is survived by his wife, son, a brother and sister, Mrs. Estella Hornberger, of Denver. 15 '^^M THE TOBACCO WORLD ^»H For Gentlemen of Good Taste FELI R^ A HIGH GRADE R^ iJC.

This section of the laws relating to the selling of cigarettes or tobacco to minors was amended by the Legisla- ture of 1909 and the act was approved on May 3. It was stipulated tliat the act should not go into effect before 00 (bays after its passage. The law as amended is mucli more severe than the old law. Tlie issuance of the posters an- nouncing the text of the new rule have put an end to a custom which has existed for some time, namely sending minors to retail tobacco stores with a note, supposedly signed by a i)arent f)r guardian, and obtain- ing tobacco or cigarettes. None of the dealers will sell cigarettes now un- der this arrangement. It also hinders the custom of sending the office boy out for tobacco. It is the duty of the police officers in cities to see that a copy of the rule is posted in a conspicuous place and constables in places without a police force also have the same duty. Any persons who take down or fail to put up a copy of the section while they are selling cigarettes on the premises are liable to a fine of $10. The cigar trade here is showing a handsome increase over the previous month's business. Although there are some complaints from the small retailers, the better class of trade are doing a nice increasing business. Cio out any afternoon to the ball grounds and you will see a great many familiar faces. On going the rounds of the jobbing trade you will hear lots of talk about vacations, but most of our smaller jol)l)ing I'lrnis have so much business to attend to that they can't Inid any time to spare to go away for a brief spell. J. Altschuler, cigar manufacturer, on Elm street, is having a new at- tractive label lithographed for his nickel cigar, Alt's Best. Mr. Alt- schuler's factory is quite busy; his 528 10-cent cigar is duplicating nicely all along the line. At the cigar factory of Goldsmith, Silver & Co., business is reported good. Ike Goldsmith and his family are at Old Orchard, Me., for the sum- mer. S. C. Silver was down Hull Hay last week and made a record catch one day of 10 dozen smelts. The Boston Cigarmakers' Union has levied another 10-cent assessment to aid the striking Hatters' Union, and Treasurer Lipj> was directed to continue sending $75 a week to them. So far the Cigarmakers' Union have sent $lGOo to the support of the Hat- ters' Union. Al Solaway (Khedivial Company) who recently returned from Spring- field, has gone to Providence, R.

CIGAR BUSINESS IN YORK COUNTY Livening Up in Spots, and Some Fac- tories are Resuming. York, Pa.. July 10. The only jjcrceptible change in the tobacco and cigar market conditions in this vicinity is that the business is seemingly sectional. Reports from revenue officials indicate a general de- pression in the factories located at Long Level, Craley, Bittersville and East Prospect. The business being (lone througli Dallastown, Red Lion and iloetz is not sufficient to attract great attention. The unsettled conditions relative to the tariff as it uertains to tobacco, is freely discussed and here, as else- where, the revision of the tariff is made to bear the burden of the cha- otic State business. L. L. Schloss, of Chicago, enjoyed 0.0()o on tobacco by the fire on July 4 has dwindled after adjustment to about $1000. At Yorkanna 1. \V. nf)rn has re- sumed manufacturing cigars, and E. W. Strickler has also begun the bus- iness there. To relieve the monotony of the trade. Krkeidler's factory, at Spry, held an enjoyable outing during the w eck. The factories of Kohler & Com- pany and W. II. Raab & Sons, at Dallastown. after a short close down, have resumed operations. John W. Minnich. one of the best known of the cigar manufacturers of \'ork county, and large dealer, is ar- ranging for a trip to Alaska. Iv L. (K)lden. of Bonneauville, Adams county, a manufacturer of ci- gars, it is alleged, made an imitation of the ■' Newcomer" cigar label, man- ufactured by D. McG. Xewcomer, of Hanover, which is copyrighted, and placed the labels on cigars which were sold in Xorfolk. Va., through his brother, .\. J. Golden, of that city. The scheme, the Hanover Record- Herald says, was worked in the fol- lowing manner: E. L. Golden obtained permission from Jacob Xewcomer, of Harney. Md., to use his signature and portrait for a cigar label. (lolden then, it is alleged, changed the name Jacob Newcomer to J. A. C. New- comer, more closely resemble the name of I). McG. Newcomer, and also, manipulated the jjortrait of Ja- cob Xewcomer to resemble that of D. McG. Newcomer by changing the shirt front, putting on the glasses and necktie. To avoid i^rosecution by D. McG. Xewcomer for infringement on his copyrighted label. It. L. Golden sur- rendered lO.OOO labels, and 1000 cigar bands. Each also signed an individ- ual bond for $1000 not to interfere with the Xewcomer label in the fu- ture. E. L. Golden has also assigned his label, called the "J. A. C. Xew- comer," to D. McG. Xewcomer. Charlie. PITTSBURGERS INTERESTED rA.HUSSEvl LEAFTOMCCOa). In a Project for the Cultivation of To- bac:o in Alabama.

The comi)any also has general farming lands which can be purchased in 40- acre tracts and ui)ward on reasonable terms. — A recent heavy rainstorm in the neighborhood of Danville, Va., is said to have greatly damaged tobacco and other crops planted on low grounds, holes five feet deep being washed in some of the fields.

CO.'S GOODS GOVT REPORT OF THE 1909 CROP BELIEVES IN GOOD TIMES COMING PREPARING FOR DAYS OF FAMINE Orders Issued by the Secretary of War Forbid Their Purchase on Behalf of the Government. Washington, July i6. Trust-made products have been boy- cotted by Secretary of War Dickinson and will not be used by the army. He has adopted a rule which is the most radical step in recent years in the pur- chase of government supplies. In a recent letter to Brigadier Gen- eral Henry G. Sharpe, Commissary General, Secretary Dickinson directed that no contract should be entered into with any corporation which is a party to a trust or corporation in restraint oi trade. He has als(j ordered that no dealings be had by the department with any middleman or agent where it is known that the middleman or agent is the representative of an unlawful con- cern. The question first came up several months ago in connection with the pur- chase of tobacccj. The substance of the Secretary's ruling was cabled to the ■commissary otlficers in the Philippines, in Hawaii and in Alaska for their guidance. General Sharpe has prepared a circular order for distribution among the commissary officers of the army. This order was dated June 7 last, and was a confidential document, but a copy of it became public to-day. The circular contains the Secretary's letter to General Sharpe, the final de- cree filed on December 15. 1908, in the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, in which it was adjudged that the Amer- ican Tobacco Company, the American Snuff Company, the American Cigar Company, the American Stogie Com- pany and the MacAndrews & Forbes Co., constitute a combination in re- straint of trade, and a list of the com- panies enjoined by the decree in the Tobacco Trust cases. "Sir: Referring to development in- dorsement of March 27, 1909, referring letter from the attorney general for- warding a copy of a decree entered in the United States Circuit Court for the southern district of New York on De- cember 15. 1908. whereby, among other things, it was adjudged that the Ameri- can Tobacco C«jmpany, the American Snuff Company, the American Cigar Company, the American Stogie Com- pany and the MacAndrews and Forbes Company, each constitutes and is it- self a combination in violation of the act of Congress approved July 28, 1908, entitled an 'act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints .'•nd monopolies,' I now have the honor to direct that no contract on behalf of the government i)e entered into di- rectly with any corporation which has been adjudicated to be a party to an unlawful trust or monopoly and to be carrying on business in violation of the law, nor with any middleman or agent of any such company or concern where it is known that such middleman or Gives an Estimated Increased Acreage of 26.6 per cent. Over 1908. The United States Department of Ag- riculture has issued its first report on the 1909 crop of tobacco. The report states that the acreage of tobacco on July 1st of this year was 1,108,336 acres, or 232,91 1 acres, or 26.66 per cent., more than last year. This is certainly a fine increase. The c — Henry Albers Company will open a store for the sale of French briar and meerschaum pipes at SOlj North Seventh street, St. Louis, Mo. St. Paul, Minn., July 16. "I will continue selling cigarettes af- ter the first of August until I have been ordered to stop," declared J. P. Whit- well, the proprietor of a retail tobacco store on Robert street, this morning. "I do not think," continued Mr. Whit- well, "that the local authorities are enough interested in the law to see that it is enforced, and I will wait until I have been personally ordered to stop before I refuse to hand my customers the cigarettes over my counter." Mr. Whitwell would not admit, in spite of the above statement, that he intended to make a test of the law if he were called to account for his ac- tion. Practically all the other retail deal- ers in the city declared that they would nt)t make any effort to evade the anti- cigarette law, which was passed by the recent State Legislature, and which goes into effect on the first day of next month. This was the almost universal decree of the merchants when seen this morning in regard to the new statute. E. A. Calves & Co.HaVANA 123 North Third street ^ PHILADELPHIA ....IMPORTERS of THE TOBACCO WORLD HEARD IN READING FACTORIES Rely on Their Cheaper Products and Do Not Fear Proposed "High Price Tax." Reading. Pa., July 17. While Reading and Berks county manufacturers last year produced over 120,000,000 cigars, few would be hit by the increased tax, which it is proposed to place oii high priced cigars in the new tariff bill. It is intended especially to hit Key West and two-for-a-quarter and 25-cent goods. A leading Reading manufacturer said: "The increased tax would have been felt very little in this section, because few of us make goods so expensive that they will be brought within the in- creased tax. Probably two firms in Reading make single brands of special size not sold in this section, which sell for $75 per th(jusand and upward Mighty few are turned out that sell above $90 per thousand. Many such cigars of both grades pre, however, sold in Reading, but 1 doubt whether the retail price would have been raised even if the tax was advanced. *! am glad that the five-cent cigar is not touched, for that, after all, is the most popular cigar, and in Reading, where we have the best nickel cigars in the country, rich and poor use them. Our factories turn <»ut millions of nickle •cigars, which are taxed heavily enough at the present rate of $3 per thousand." There is no man in Reading who is a firmer believer in the virtue of print- -er's ink than Hamilton Godfrey, pro- prietor of the Farmers' Hotel and cigar store here, and his faith in its qualities was strengthened very ma- terially last week. This was brought abcjut by the receipt of an order for a lot of cigars from Johnson City, Tenn. It showed, first of all, that advertise- ments are read broadcast, and that if a merchant has an article which he •wishes to place on sale and tells about it in printer's ink, the telling is sure to have an audience. The attractive of- fers Mr. Godfrey makes on cigars are sure to command attention everywhere, for he constantly has bargains in his wares, such as falls to the lot of few merchants to be able to set before the public. H. A. Hagemann, 208 North Ninth street, is doing a steady business. His trade is retail entirely, and his products meet with the favor of fastidious smok- ers. His chief brand is Great Leader, a five-cent smoke. Breneiser Brothers, Eighth and Penn streets, are doing well. They have many orders to be fdled, both in local trade and out of town. At present they are having a special sale of their La Magneta, a three-for-a-quarter brand, which is bringing in good re- sults. Their chief five-cent brand is King, named after Edward of England. The factory of J. C. Spatz & Com- pany, 33 South Sixth street, is hum- ming these days filling their orders. They have a trade that is mainly out of town to the western part of the country. Their chief brands, Heidel- berg, a ten-center, and Volcano, a five- cent brand, are both good sellers and making a hit wherever they are found. W. E. Kruni, 1058 North Fifth street, is rounding out 23 years of a most successful business. He does a mail order business exclusively, and he is kept hustling to send his goods now t(j this State, now to that. He says he finds this method of doing business is about the best he can see of all the various kinds of selling. He, too, is an extensive advcTiUer^^and, of course, uses it widely in his business. W. C. M. Meyer, 424 North Tenth street, is very busy with his local trade. Cuban Standard, a five-cent brand, is his best seller, and is meeting with fa- vor. C. Ream, 411 Washington street, has a good trade, both local and out of town. He finds business good. His chief brand is his five-cent Neversink. He just shipped a lot of 5000 cigars to New York. Philadelphia is his best market, and his cigars find ready sale there. H. G. Burkey, 946 Cherry street, is one of the busiest cigar manufacturers in town. He is not only busy now, but has been all winter, despite the finan- cial depression. His best brands are Lord Orniont, a ten-cent grade, and Royal Jack, five cents. His trade is not only local, but out of town, in which departments he is kept very busy. This week he shipped a lot ot 35,000 cigars to Cincinnati and Youngs- town, Ohio, Buffalo and Chicago. He has these kind of shipments each week. In fact, so busy has be become that he is contemplating putting an addition to his factory. When he does it will be one of the largest in town. At pres- ent he employes 27 hands, and may take on more when he makes his im- provements.

Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World,'* 535 Campbell avenue. Detroit, Mich., July 18. Each succeeding week is becoming almost a record in advancing business both in the leaf tobacco and cigar trades. The extraordinary expansion of local concerns continues, and, whereas, during the spring the prob- lem was to find business, the problem now is of meeting orders with adequate dispatch. As general business condi- tions have been improved, so has prog- ress been made in the tobacco trade. Orders are being received from prac- tically every State in the Union, and with few exceptions manufacturers arc reporting full time and full force. There has been a noticeable increase in the volume of trade from the West- ern and Northwestern States during the last two or three weeks. Several large orders have been booked, and from the reports, which have been received from the selling agents of the various concerns through the western district, the pr Havana, 123 Nort ^ PHI ....IMPORTERS of h Third Street LADELPHIA '^^m THE TOBACCO WORLD ^^H INDIVIDUAL DEALERS MUST ACT. |\ In the absence of a national orgam- zation to take the initiative in the mat- ter of urging Congress to finally con- firm the anti-coupon sections of the Tariff bill, it is the paramount duty of each individual in the trade to con- sider himself a committee charged with this grave responsibility. Through individual effort an appeal for practical supi)ort has been sent out from this city to every State, and it is expected that those who have the best interests of the Trade at heart, will enter into this movement with en- thusiastic, yet practical co-operation. Tt is essential that all in interest should understand that a demonstration must be made before the House of Representatives. This showing of in- terest nnist be widespread, dignified — impressixe. In this matter numbers Count. The UKMubers (t[ Congress nuist be made to clearly understand that this demand for the prohibition of all forms of coupon schemes in the tobacco trade is not a jjolitical move, but a vital business proposition afTecting the stability and the mf over 18.000.000. or an average gain per month of 3,000,000. Even though the ligures for the month of June last, were not up to the average of the past six months, the fact pales into insigni- ticance when it is noted that the pro- duction during the month was the larg- est of any June for more than ten years past. * * ♦ .\ few mid-sunnner changes are tak- ing place this year in the tobacco trade. .\mong these are Dusel, Goodloe & Company, who are giving up the Chcst- luit street store and remrtving to 116 North Seventh street, in the premises forpierly ttccupied.by A. S. Valentine & Sons, as a cigar manufactory. Since a.n exclusively wholesale business is done, the Chestnut street quarters were found more expensive than needed, and not as suitable in a general way, nor as commodious as the premises about to be taken. M. J. Dalton Cigar Company has relin(|uished the store at the North- west corner of Thirteenth and Arch streets, but with the closing of this branch, extensions and improvements have been made at others of their chain of stores. * * * Alonzo Achuss, 1835 East Russell street, was held for Court in default <»f $1000 bail, by Magistrate O'Donnell, in the Frankford Police Station, last week, on the charge of having stolen 25,000 cigars from the store of Joseph Dolan, at Frankford avenue and Ox- ford pike, and Ceorge Roseman, of 2127 South Mole street, was held in default of $500 bail on the charge of receiving stolen goods. When Dolan came to open his store he saw that a large number of cigars were missing, and that some one had broken in through a rear window. He at once called up the Frankford Police Station, when Special Officers Parsons and Hang were assigned to the case. .\s they knew .\chuss. they at once went to his home. There they found most of the cigars, biU Dolan declared that some were still missing. .\chuss reluctantly admitted that he had given some of them to Roseman, who had carried them down-town on a trolley car to his home. Roseman had a lunch wagon in the vicinity of the cigar store. The cigars were valued at $35 per thousand. * * * This city has bet-n honored lately by (juite a nundier of out-of-town visitors, and it is now expected that there will be many nn)re before the time for the beginning of the usual fall trade. Messrs. L. Ed. Valloft and Charles Dreiix. of the wholesale and jobbing house of Valloft & Dreux, f)f New Orleans, have been here visiting at the factory headtpiarters of the Theobald & Oppenheimer Company; David L. Morgan, f)f the Parker-Morgan Com- l)any, of Scranton, Pa., has been en-, tertained by Allen R. Cressman's Sons recently: while .\. S. Valentine & Soiv have been entertaining several of their traveling rei)resentatives lately. Ernest Myers, Albu(iuer(iue, New Mexico^ was also among the recent visitors at the T. and O. factory. * * « A. S. Valentine & Son are at pres- ent extremely busy on all of their pop- ular brands, and their extensive adver- tising is still effectually exploiting the merits of the Paul Jones, Hctsy Ross^ and the Old Reliable brands. George H. Valentine, of the firm, is now sum- mering at Atlantic City. Id 4c 4i Cable advices were received Friday last by Benjamin Labe & Sons to the effect that Jacob Labe had purchased • lU that day at Amsterdam, 200 bales of Sumatra tf)bacco. This was the last inscriptif)n for the summer season, and Mr. Labe is now expected home some time during the coming week. The house has purchased (piite extens- ively this year, and a ccuisiderable part • »f their early purchases has already been disposed of. 4: ♦ « Leopold Loeb & Company were also purchasers of several hundred bales of Sumatra at the last inscription. The sales have been attended by one of the sons of Mr. Leoi)old Loeb, and Harry Nathans, a traveling salesman, with the house, both of whom were expecting to leave Europe on Saturday last for home. In recognition and appreciation o| the long and faithful service of John (»reen, whf) has for the past twenty- (Uie years been a clerk in the Bingham House Hotel Cigar Stand. Manager David B. Provan, of that well-known hostelry, recently presented Mr. Green with a handsome gold watch. The gift coming quite unexpectedly, is highly appreciated by Mr. Green, who speaks in the highest praise of his pop- ular employer. — Schcurer Bros, will open a cigar store at Ionia, Mich., and also one at Mt, Pleasant, Mich, front. \ • i 1 I I For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes, go (o ^ EBtablished 18S0 Monroe D.

Billiard tables and cer- tain other assets were delivered to Mr. Hain, on bailment, thus reducing his assets to about $1000, amount of the appraisement. The receipts at the York revenue of- fice for stamps sold for the year ending June 30. iqof>. were $037,083.68. This represented an outi)Ut of cigars of 312.- 361.225 during that period. John F". Richard, the well-known to- bacco dealer, of Red Lion, gave three of his salesmen a fishing outing dm-ing the week. In company with them were M. R. Sitler. of Kast Prospect, and \V. C. Jacks(»n. of Craleyville. A fine lot of fish was secured. The packers at W. H. Raab & Sons* factory, Dallastown, had an outing on Wednesday last. Leonard E. Olcwiler, a retired cigar 14 manufacturer, now a resident of York, but who still manages a number of farms in Lower Windsor township, has increased his acreage in tobacco raising this year. He reports the crop as look- ing fine, but very much in need ot rain. Similar reports come from all ^ections — that rain must soon come to produce a good tobacco crop. ^'ork City is becoming noted for its ])alatia! cigar stores. The show win- dows are becoming equally as attrac- tive as are tlie millinery, shoe and de- partment stores. .\ large and beautiful framed sign hearing the ])icture of a large Durham hull, to rt^preseiit the Durham Tobac- co, graces (he show window of C. H. Shallman & Stm's line store, on George street. .Another attractive sign is that of the Hilly Possum Cigar, displayed at Charley I5eck's emporium on George street. At Zach. Scheaffer's, KJine Broth- er's. Sicker's. Munchel's, Davy Boyer. and many others, the merits of tlie sev- eral brands of cigars are told in fancy and expensive signs. The increased demand for stamps the past week at the York office, and the daily advertisement from numerous ci- gar manufacturers, add hopes to the optimist, who during the depression saw silver linings to the dark clouds. During the week W. H. Snyder, of Windsor, received a large cigar order. Interviewing a number of tobacco dealers, notably Robert M. Grant, one of York's leading tobacco merchants, it was learned that there are percept- ible evidences of business in tobacco centres returning to something of the former prosjjerous condition. It was also stated that if the demand for ci- gars were anything near like what it was some years ago, the supply of 1007 and 1908. tobacco would not be half sufficient. The advertisements for needed helj) in cigar factories indicate much better trade. Tobacco growers from Hopewell anc* other sections of the country report a visit from C. H. Nolte, of Lancaster, who was inspecting the tobacco grown from seed he furnishes. The examination revealed a better state than was expected, in view to the dry spell of weather. The report that a tobacco pest ex- ists in Lancaster tobacco warehouses caused a number of packers to be on the lookout for the beetle. Fumigation of the warehouses has been adopted, which is recommended by an ex-mem- ber *)f the State Board of Agriculture, Mr. Hertzog, of Lancaster county. The superstitious farmer, who eager- ly waited for July 15, St. Swithian's Day, found no relief from the dry spell, h'or many years St. Swithian's had his name connected with the weather super- stition, and if rain fell on this day we WDuld have rain for forty days, but if no rain fell., then look out for drought. .\s the day jjassed without rain, the farmers lg" Telephone Call, 432— B Wice and Warehouse: FLORIN, PA.

Otto Best, proprietor of the Olym- I)ic Bowling Alleys, one of the best known sporting places in the city, has been succeeded by the Langtry Mc- P.ride Company. At Dadd's business has been quite good; the little Tom and Cobs are re- ceiving the benefit of a windcnv display this week. All of the leading down- t wn druggists are featuring Cobs, while business with the drug trade, as a whole, has been good. H. K. Phillips, trustee of the bank- rupt estate of the firm of Frohbach & Parks, cigar dealers, filed his report this week. The amounts collected were $2,437.76 and disbursements $1.- 793-65, leaving a balance on hand of $644.11. He states that there are ac- c )unts receivable still outstanding of $;oi.o5, which he cannot collect. J(jhn Cobb, for many years foreman of the United Cigar Manufacturers warehouse at Portage, died suddenly while visiting at Chisholm, Minn. At West Bend Henry Rojfs opened his new Smcjke Shcjp. It is situated in the Sharp Corner, which the owner had specially fitted up for Mr. Rolfs, the l)ai)ering and dectjrating being in har- mony with the furnishings. Handsome new mission wall and floor cases have been installed, all of which are zinc 1 ned. Mission rockers and chairs for the comfort of patrons have also been added. An up-to-date stock is being carried, and Mr. Rolfs should enjoy his share of the business. Crop prospects are not very favor- able, owing to the continued dry weath- er, anil the present market for old leaf is decidedly quiet.

Report Shows Increase of $110,000,000 in Ten Years. Washington. July 23. — The total trade of the L^nited States with its non-contiguous territories during the fiscal year 1909 amounted to $160,000,- 000. against appro.ximately $50,000,000 in 1898, according to a statement is- sued by the Bureau of Statistics to- day. The term "non-contiguous ter- ritory" includes Alaska and all the in- sular area under the control of the United States — Porto Rico, Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines, Guam, Mid- way, Tutuila, etc. It is pointed out that of this $160,- 000,000 about $90,000,000 is represent- ed in merchandise sent from the Ter- ritories in question to what is usually known as Contii.ental United States and $70,000,000 in merchandise sent from the L^nited States. In both im- ports and exports the figures for 1909 exceed those of any earlier year. Porto Rico is the largest purchaser of American goods. Sugar is the most important article received from Porto Rico and Hawaii, with tobacco ranking second in the case of Porto Rico. From the Philippines, Manila hemp is stated to be by far the most important article received. CUBA'S TOBACCO INDUSTRY. C. p. No. 3 March Term > 1909 No. 3709 In Equity The Juan F.

Union Leader . vs Union World The use of an alleged infringement in duplicating a trademark and style of package has led to considerable ac- tivity on the part of officials of the American Tobacco Company. It is stated that the Globe Tobacco Com- pany, of Detroit, had recently issued circulars claiming that it had the ex- clusive right to use the word leader, and stating that the W(jrd was already the subject of litigation between it and the American Tobacco Company. This action was quickly folhjwed by a circular letter No. 1653 on the date of July 8, and which we just followed; "To our customers: "Our attention has been called to a circular letter issued by the Globe To- bacco Company claiming that it has the exclusive right to use the word 'Leader' as a tobacco trademark, and stating that the word was already the subject of litigation between it and this company. "It is not true that the word 'Leader' is the subject of litigation between the Globe Tobacco Company and this com- pany. We are prosecuting a suit against that company for imitating with its 'Union World' packages the dress and get up of our packages of 'Union Leader.' and no doubt t)ur suit has instigated the threatening letter which has been sent out by the Globe Tobacco C(jmpany. "We consider its claim groundless and we hereby agree to h(»Id you harmless against any costs and dam- ages you may incur or sustain by rea- son of any infringement suit that may be brought against you on account of your selling our 'Union Leader.' "Very truly yours." The above circular was sent out on July 12, in company with the letter that follows: "Dear Sir: "Referring to our circular letter No. 1653, dated July 8, a copy of which we herewith enclose, and the circular letter mailed out to our customers by the Globe Tobacco Company under date of July 3, in regard t() Union Leader, will state there is absolutely nothing in the Globe Tobacco Com- pany's claim, but it may be that some of your customers, the retailers, will hear of this and be making inquiries concerning same.

George William Gail, one of the wealthiest and best-known men in P>al- timiire. and retired manager of the widely-known tobacco manufacturing- firm of G. W. Gail & Ax, died at Bal- tiuKjre last week as the result of an operation for a perforation which had been brought on by typhoid fever and occurred at the Union Protestant In- firmary. Mr. Gail was 45 years of age and had been sick only ten days, during which time he was at the hospital. The highest medical skill of the country was at his attendance and the operation was performed by Dr. Rich- ard Follis, of the Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, but the patient failed to rally and never regained consciousness. The news of Mr. Gail's death was a great shock to the entire community and flags were ordered at half-mast on municipal buildin^^s. Mr. Gail was born in Baltimore on October 14, 1864. at his home, on Bar- re street, near Hanover. His father "was George William Gail, who, in 1851, came here from his birthplace, Glessen, Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, and be- came a successful tobacco manufac- turer and founder of the well-known firm of Gail & Ax. The factory was at the corner of Charles and Barre streets. The son was made junior partner of the firm in 1885. .\fter the elder Gail sold out to the American Tobacco Company his son continued for the space of five or six years to act as factory manager, after which he withdrew from active business. Mr. Gail's mother was Miss Mary S. Feig- ner, daughter of E. L. Feigner, a pio- neer tobacco merchant ()f this city, who died in 1891. He was a director of the Third Na- tional Bank and was connected more or less directly with many of the city's leading financial institutions. In Ger- man circles he had a host of friends, being a member of the Germania Club for 20 years. He made several trips to Europe, where he established new friendships, broadened his sphere of general knowledge and visited the home of his parents' people. He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Helen Bauch, of Richmond, Va., the daughter of a prosperous tobacco merchant of that city. Three daugh- ters and one son, George W. Gail, Jr. Niagara Falls, N. Y. — Frank Hansel has bought the cigar business former- ly conducted by Thomas O'Conner, at 352 Third street. In Absence of Nurse Denver Cigar Man Took Overdose of Medicine. Denver, Col., July 22. — When Claude W. Stone, the senior member of the Joint Stock Cigar Company, attempted to take a dose of medicine Monday last he swallowed an overdose of tinc- ture of aconite, and came near to death. Police Surgeon Ackley was sum- moned to Stone's home, 917 Walnut street, where he found the man un- conscious. He was taken to St. An- thony's Hospital, and will recover, the hospital attendants say. Stone for some time has been under the care of a nurse. During the nurse's ab- sence he es.sayed to care for himself, with well-nigh fatal results. TOBACCO WAR TO CONTINUE Kentucky Interests Again Fall to Reach Agreement. Lexington, Ky., July 23. The conference of representatives of the Kentucky Burley Tobacco So- ciety and of the American Society of Equity broke up at 1.30 o'clock this morning, the E(|uity men walking out of the meeting following refusal of the Burley Society to grant the Equity Society's demands. The failure to get together means war between the two organizations in the proposed pooling of the tobacco crop of 1909. The Society of Equity was repre- sented by Congressman J. Campbell Cantril, while the Burley members were headed by President Clarence Lebus. The Equit\' Society demanded recognition of that society as the parent body by the Burley organiza- tion, a substantial reduction in sala- ries to President Lebus and others, the elimination of the 10 per cent, re- serve clause in the pledge relating to the pooling of the coming crop and collection and distribution of money paid for tobacco by county boards of control.

Reading, Pa., July 26. The cigar and tobacco business is still on the increase in this city, as last week's figures will show. The total receipts for the sale of revenue stamps exceeded $14,000, which was one of the biggest weeks since Janu- ary I. Of course, the receipts at the local offtce used to exceed this figure by a good sum, but Schuylkill county was then a part of this division of the First District. While there is always a decrease so far as the receipts are concerned in comparison with the corresponding weeks of the previous year, yet there is truly an increase in the output . when the taking off of Schuylkill is considered. Cigar men and leaf deal- ers are hopeful as to the future, and say that they have every reason to ieel greatly encouraged. Cigar box men say the same thing. Haller & Whitcraft, wdio but a year ago took possession of their present commodious factory, at No. 1050 Greenwich street, report a big im- provement in trade. They employed 17 men on full time, and say that dur- ing the past year they have doubled their output. The firm's leading brands are the Dime Banker and Al- paso. L. P. Kline, cigar box manufacturer at Nos. 202-208 Cedar street, is jubi- lant over the outlook. He reports that business has shown a marked im- provement over what it was six months ago, and that his factory is working full time every day. He dis- poses of his product to local manu- facturers and also ships quite a lot of boxes to firms outside of the city. Dompert & Co., cigar manufactur- ers, No. 313 Schuylkill avenue, report an increase in their business. They are planning to place a new brand on the market, styled Tom Donnalley, which will be named after Thomas K. Donnalley, Great" Keeper of Rec- ords of the Improved Order of Red Men, of Philadelphia, who is well and favorably known in Reading. The brand has been registered and a big sale is anticipated during the Red Men's State Convention, to he held in Reading in June, 1910. Dibert Bros., cigar manufacturers. No. 231 Washington street, one of the largest concerns of its kind in the city, report business good, and indi- cations point to a busy season for the remainder of the year. A full force of hands is employed. H. S. Hassler, formerly a cigar manu- facturer and a member of the former well-known firm of Hassler & Heller- ick, is now interested in the Eclipse Sign and Advertising Company, with a factory in the old Penn-Troy Laun- dry Building here. A specialty is made of signs of all descriptions, and a noteworthy feature of the firm's business is that they turn out an enormous lot of attractive designs for cigar manufacturers and leaf tobacco dealers in different sections of this and other States. Their factory is running ten and three-quarter hours daily. Havasmile is the latest cigar manu- factured by J. G. Hansen. They are a new feature in that they are put up in lots of 50 in white china jars, in- stead of the wooden boxes. When the jars are emptied, they can be used by the housewife in the kitchen as re- ceptacles for crackers, tea, coffee, su- gar, cereals, preserves, etc. The Hav- asmile was placed on the market this week and instantly met with popular favor. Each jar contains 50 cigars — a four and three-quarter inch Lon- dres, made with Sumatra wrapper, Connecticut binder and combination Havana long filler. Mr. Hansen is giving the beautiful china jars to ad- vertise the cigar and not at the ex- pense of the cigar, as he would rather co-operate direct with the dealer, af- ter he has thoroughly satisfied him- self that the cigar is all Mr. Hansen claims for it, in expending this same amount of money on the additional cost of the jars than in a regular ad- vertising campaign.

The leaf tobacco market continues in about the same condition as it has been for soonc weeks past, with but a mod- erate business being done, ^T^ost^y of sales to local cigar manufacturers. The market cannot be said to have opened yet, and it is not expected that there will be a noticeable change for possi- bly another month. The cigar industry, however, shows signs of steady improvement, and manufacturers are having more orders than for some time past. The output, it is expected, will show a gain. Fac- tories in some sections are increasing their forces and are hopeful of being able to continue on full time for some months to come. The growing crops are looking pret- ty well in most sections, and the rains of last week have been of inestimable value to the crops. The earlier planted crops seem to be faring the best so far, as they were less stunted by the recent drought. However, if good weather continues and a fair amount of moisture is precipitated by rains there can yet be an excellent crop this year. The engagement of Ididor Sukovice to Miss Hilda G. Lurie, a brilliant and talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Myer Lurie, of this city, was announced last week. Mr. Sukovice was formerly engaged in the leaf tobacco business in New York City, but recently entered the firm of E. W. Marqusec & Co., leaf tobacco i)ackers and dealers at 419 and 421 North Prince street, this city. The many friends of the happy young couple are extending their heartiest congratu- lations and best wishes. G. Henry Sachs, well-known cigar manufacturer of this city, recently pur- chased the tobacco factory, including stock and equipment, formerly conduct- ed by William Fisher on Filbert street, and which Mr. Sachs will conduct in connection with his cigar factory. Plain scrap and other kind of tobacco will be put up at the factory under Mr. Sachs' directions. IN THE GOOD OLD WAY AT DETROIT Brisk Business, Steady and Remunera- tive Prices and Good Wages Form a Satisfactory Combination. Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World," 535 Campbell avenue. Detroit, Mich., July ^. There is little new to report by way of trade conditions in Detroit during the last week. It can hardly be said that business is better than the pre- vious week, but at the same time one thing is certain; that is, it is every bit as good. The same firmness is felt in the leaf tobacco and cigar markets, and all manufacturers report sufficient trade to tax their cajjacities. There have been no changes to speak of in quotations. Prices are now at a point where it is possible for the manu- facturer to realize a very good profit from his sales, and what more is there to be considered or desired. As re^ ported last week, collections are easy, and as a result dealers are not evincing uneasiness over any inability to get stocks. There is one difficulty, however, which has been referred to time and again in these columns. That is the hard time local manufacturers have in getting help. Scotten Dillon Company, the La Palla Cigar Company and nu- merous other concerns are constantly (»n the lookout for assistance and so far without absolute success. For the last week the Scotten Dillon Ctmipany has had a large sign displayed on one of its walls asking for girls. The same old trouble is reported with the La Palla pet)ple. It seems nearly impossible to get steady cigarmakers in this market. There are plenty of good workmen, but the fault is that when they have made a fair week's wages they quit for the bal- ance of the period, regardless of the predicament they leave their employ- ers in. Good wages are paid all skilled workmen; in fact, it seems to be a be- lief among certain manufacturers that altogether too good wages are paid. If the men didn't make money s(^ easy perhaps they would spend more time at their work and thus help the good cause along. The retail trade is also swinging fine. A number of improvements have been recently nuule in lovvntown smoke shops and several new lines also added. It is hard to tell just what brand or class of cigar sells best here. One deal- er may report a lively demand for a certain class of goods, while his neigh- bor may have another line which he finds more lucrative. Local dealers, both wholesale and re- tail, are expecting the demand to ease up for a period along about the middle of August. The shipping facilities of the city and the partial elimination of the labor question are the two arguments the Wyandotte Improvement and Business Men's Association are putting forward to induce the San Telmo Cigar Com- pany, of Detroit, to locate a branch fac- tory in the down-river city. Wyandotte business men have been deeply stirred by the possibility of the company locat- ing there and the Common Council has taken up the question. A special com^ mittee of the solons has been appointed to wait on the cigar officials, and it is said their efforts have been successful. .\ private source informs "The To- bacco World" that the company will establish a branch in a hall in the sub- . urban town until such time as the city-> shall erect a building on one of three- sites now being considered. It is claimed the trouble which the • San Telmo people have in securing suitable help in Detroit is playing an _ important part in the intentions of the company to locate in Wyandotte. Wyandotte officials say if the concern locates there it will be no trouble for it to secure all the aid necessary. .\ Kalamazoo cigar dealer with a penchant for figures had doped it out that three and one-half miles f)f cigars are consumed in Kalamazoo daily. The dealer figures on the basis there are 10,000 men and boys in Kalamazoo who smoke on an average of five cigars a day. That makes a daily average of 50,000 cigars, which, if laid end to end, »8 Our Capacity for Manufacturing Cigar Boxes Is— ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE GOOD CUSTOMER Monroe D. Sellers, Sellersville, Pa. THE TOBACCO WORLD would reach 250,000 inches, or 20,833 feet. Thus, divided by the number of feet in a mile — 5280 — it would make the stated distance. Figuring on the same basis, with Detroit 12 times the size of Kalamazoo, we find that Detroit smok- ■ers consume some 42 miles of cigars daily. It is figured that an average of ^2500 is spent daily in Kalamazoo. With the same figures Detroit spends $30,000 a day. and which goes up in sm(jke. The ligures kind-a scare the average pers iU. hut if y^u don't believe it just sit down and figure it out. The frneral of Louis Rosenberg, the 'Clevclan:l cigarmaker who was nun-- dered at St. Clair Flats, was held last week and was largely attended. Sam Frisbie. charged with complicity in the crime, protests his innocence, but feel- ing runs high against him. His exami- nation will be held this week. Joseph Girardiu. Jr., a former Wyan- dotte grocer and who was also quite well known to the Detroit cigar manu- facturers, lost his life recently, when a Michigan Central passenger train struck his buggy. Down-river cigar men combined with the various merchants in the district in ;mi aninril excursion to Bois Blanc r^ark Tuesdiiy. Tiorted. TRADE MARKS REGISTERED.

Editor of "The Tobacco World:" In the last two issues of your paper considerable space has been given to the anti-coupon clause of the tobacco schedule incorporated by the Senate in the new tariff law, and advocating immediate action by tobacco men to secure its final adoption by Congress. In the articles referred to many as- sertions are made as to the inicjuity of the coupon system of securing trade, but after a careful reading of the articles I fail to find any proof of the inherent wickedness of such a method of building up business. If an individual, or a corporation, con- siders it good policy to expend a por- tion of the profits of the business in giving to customers articles of more or less value, wherein consists the wrong? Has not the seller, having exchanged his goods for the custom- er's cash, a right to expend the cash as he sees fit? Would you argue that a manuf.icturcr shall not give away his product at half-price or free of cost, if he is inclined so to do? If he may do that with his product, why may he not follow the same course with the money received for the pro- duct, and return a portion of it to the customer in the form of gifts or premiums? Of course, the charge is made that the products sold by this system are inferior goods. It appears to me that if this charge were true it would work out its own reinedy; the custom- er would refuse to buy the goods, de- spite the pretnium inducement. He knows what he wants to buy, and he is under no compulsion to take an in- ferior product the second time. I believe it unfair to class the cou- pon or trading stamp methods of do- ing business with the old-time "chance" schemes of getting a gold coin in a package of tea or coffee. The ' gambling element is not present, be- cause the coupon or trading stamp collector knows just what he will re- ceive for so many coupons or stamps, and he may make the exchange or not, as pleases himself. And fiuiUly the charge is inade that, having hoodwinked the consumer, an eflfort is being made to capture the retail dealer by means of rebates when he has sold a certain quantity of goods. What is wrong here? Is it not the rule in trade that the heavy purchaser shall be given more favor- able terms than those given to him who buys only in small quantities? Of cour*^e, there is no question as against whom the proposed legisla- tion is aimed. It is not necessary to read between the lines to lind that out. 1 have no special interest in the so-called "trusts" or "combines," and possibly they may be as bad as some people make them out to be, but it is one thing to make general charges of wrongdoing and an entirely different one to prove thein — a thing which the articles under consideration, make no attempt to do. And then, as to the advisability of the remedy proposed. Why should the Government of the United States single out one class of tradesmen and prevent them from doing something that other classes are permitted to do without let or hindrance? The an- swer to this will be that the Govern- ment has the power to do this with the tobacco trade because tobacco comes under the Internal Revenue law. But, granting that the Govern- ment has the power, is it just that the power should be used? If taxa- tion must be uniform, should not re- strictions also be uniform, and in that case how will this proposed anti-cou- pon clause pass the ordeal of inspec- tion by the Courts? Kqual rights to all, special favors to none, is a very good rule for our lawmakers to go by, and, frankly, I think its application should be impar- tial, whether the party involved be a struggling beginner in trade or an old and wealthy corporation.

Inquiries made at business places of the respective tobacco dealers in York, Dallastown and Red Lion show improvements during the past week in inquiries for certain kinds of to- bacco, and advertisements appearing in the local papers all indicate better business ahead. Shipments of leaf to- bacco have been good, and a specially large one has been made from the house of James Adair. \V. S. Wan- ner reports business good, as do a number of others interviewed. From the cigar manufacturers is gleaned the idea that there will be no great change all at once, but they look for it in the near future. Another noticeable feature is the demand for a better grade of cigar, and by consumers it is claimed that the competition among manufactur- ers is leading to the use of better to- bacco. It is also evident that the days of the very cheap cigar are num- bered. This is to a certain extent verified by a reputable dealer in to- bacco, who has had many calls for good grades of tobacco which he is known to handle exclusively. Smith Bros., manufacturers of tine hand-inade cigars, recently started in this city, are meeting with deserved success. They are practical workmen and turn out a meritorious article. J. Stanley Winget has begun manu- facturing cigars in York. Billy Lahr, "Scotty Frey" and D. Frank Kaltreider, of Red Lion, are sandwiching business with fishing, and are successful Waltonians. Samuel Roseman, the well-known tobacco broker of Red Lion, is sick at his home there. The Monarch Cigar Company, of Red Lion, has increased its force of cigarmakers. C. H. Bair, a well-known cigar manufacturer of Goldsboro, this coun- ty, who was through the Virginias and Tennessee in the interests of his cigar business, returned home seem- ingly pleased with the prospects re- sulting from his trip. A report made up by Deputy Col- lector of Internal Revenue Payne, of the York Division of the Ninth Dis- trict of Pennsylvania, shows some highly interesting figures concerning Red Lion and its cigar industry. There. are about 185 cigar factories registered at Red Lion, of which a number have been idle for a consid- erable portion of the last fiscal year, ending June 30. 1909. Yet it is shown that over 41,000,000 cigars were made, and stamps bought for over 36,000,000 of that number. The amount collect- ed by the Government from the sale of stamps used in Red Lion during that year was $109,511.97. The quantity of tobacco required and handled in Red Lion also makes an interesting set of figures, as will be shown by the following: Tobacco on hand January i, 1908, 264,719 pounds. Bought during the year 1908, 1,830.251 pounds. Consumed in mak- ing cigars, 732,745 pounds. Sold to manufacturers or dealers, 758,070 pounds. On hand January i, 1909, 340,000 pounds. A full force of cigarmakers has started to work in the John W. Mu- nich & Son factory, at Dallastown. Inquiry at the factories in Dallas- town finds the major portion with plenty of orders on hand. Eli Taylor, of Yoe, who recently purchased the Pouch tobacco factory l)uilding along the railroad, has com- menced remodeling it into a cigar fac- tory, which he will occupy as soon as the alterations are completed. From these figures there would seeni to be no good reason for com- plaint, as a majority of the factories there had some orders all along, and at the present time there is every in- dication of a good fall trade for this rai)idly-growing business town of York county.

The wagon will be painted with advertisements of the Fore 'N' Aft tobaccos, will be up to date in every respect, and will make in all four delivery wagons that this enterprising concern will be using to till their orders. George E. Lang has purchased the jobbing cigar and tobacco business of F. Leahan, iti Reading, Mass. Frank Dana, representing Jeitles & Blumenthal, Limited, Philadelphia, makers of the well-known Master- piece nickel cigar, spent several days in the Hub this week. Mr. Dana is a clever salesman; he has the "gift of gab" and can use it to advantage. He could sell airships, subways, etc., just as easily as he sells cigars, A. Hacherman has purchased the cigar store at 8S0 Washington street, of which 1. Alter was the proprietor fur the i)ast fourteen years. Ralph B. Oppenheim (Oppenhcim, Flattauer Co.; was here this week, taking orders for Union League, Osado and other brands of their manufacture. George Melhado, the well-known South End jobber, has made many use- ful alterations in his store. The fix- tures are modern in every respect, and after an outlay of several thousand dollars the store now presents a very tidy appearance and in the same class as those of lirlicli & Koph, Estabrook & Eaton and one or two others. Stephen Tilton, of the Marlboro Cigar Co., who has been on the sick list for several months, is improving nicely, Mr. Tilton is one of the pio- neers in the jobbing line here. A. Schlcsinger has opened a cigar and tobacco store at 254 Main street, Charlestown. Mr. Schlcsinger has sev- eral good stogie and cheap cigar ac- counts, and intends to do an extensive business in the line of stogies. J. Silverstein, proprietor of the Cigar Box, at 35 North street, sur- prised his many friends recently by slipping away one evening and getting married to handsome West End widow, who is reputed to be very wealthy. Mr. Silverstein's many friends wish him the best of luck in his mari- tal career. J. Heins, wholesale and retail tobac- conist, at 56 Fleet street, reports a good business. Mr. Heins' store is reputed to be one of the leading stores here, selling union and indepent brands of tobacco, etc., and although the ap- pearance of the store is rather small the business nevertheless is very large. A new 20-horsepower electric fan has been installed in the store to make the hot weather more comfortable for the patrons. For the past several months a num- ber of our large jobbing houses have been flim-tiammed out of merchandise by means of the telephone. Jobbers should be careful and not deliver any goods to anyone who does not have a written order for same, and should not accept orders over the telephone. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Retailers had better be very careful in purchasing cheap cigars or tobaccos from stranger.s, as the Massachusetts laws are very strin- gent as to receivers of stolen goods. The American Tobacco Co. has in- formed its customers that it is far oversold on many brands of cigarettes and asks the indulgence of its cus- tomers for delays in shipments. The sales of the new Hindu cigarette, which .started off good are now handi- capped, as jobbers are all out of same. Sam H. Kitsis, representing the Strater Bros. Co., is now doing a good business on the various brands made by this concern. His leader is Roll Call, a similar brand of chewing to- bacco as the B. & L. made by the American.

Iowa Attorney General Advises Dealers to Throw Away Cigarette Papers. Des Moines, la., July 30. Tobacco dealers have been advised by Attorney General H. W. Byers to throw away the cigarette papers that are enclosed for free distribution with five-pound packages of certain brands of tobacco. No cigarette papers can be given away in Towa without violating the law, says Mr. Byers. On the large boxes which contain cigarette papers manufacturers have printed directions to the dealer in which he is advised that the papers may be given away in States where the sale of cigarettes is prohibited. If he lives in a State where it is illegal to have prv^ers in one's possession f»r t.) give them away, he is directed to destroy them. Dealers who had purchased such packages from their wholesalers asked the department of justice for an opinion, and the reply of Mr. Byers is that the law clearly prohibits the giving away of papers.

In reply to the request of the Com- plete Reform League, composed of the liberals, regarding the enft^rcement of the blue laws (m the Sabbath, Mayor D. F. Snyder, after conferring with Safety Director J. S. Elliot and Chief of Police R. E. O'Brien, announced that the police would not order the cigar stores and ice cream parlors clos- ed, but that the police would make ar- rests if af^davits were filed by any pri- vate citizens. The Mayor said he did not l)elieve that it was up to him to carry out the movement started by the liberals to close up everything. Under the agreement all drinking places must close Sunday and stay closed, otherwise tnose charged with violation of the Rose law will be prosecuted. The wets claim that everything must close to- morrow. DEATH OF A POPULAR SALESMAN. Robert R. Uhler, a well known leaf tobacco salesman, and senior member of the present firm of R. R. Uhler & Son, died at his home in Lebanon, on Sunday last, August ist, after a brief illness. "Bob. Uhler" as he was familiarly known to his many friends, had been engaged as a tobacco salesman for the past fifteen years, and in that time had won the sincere friendship and con- fidence of a large number of cigar manufacturers and tobacco dealers through the State of Pennsylvania, but did not cover much territory outside of his home State. The news of his death came as a great shock to his every acquaintance, and expressions of regret are heard from all sides. Congeniality was one of his characteristic traits, and his com- pany was always thoroughly enjoyed and looked for by his fellow-travelers. Mr. Uhler conducted quite an exten- sive tobacco brokerage business, and in addition he had also been for the past several years a special represent- ative in Pennsylvania of the Sumatra importing house of H. Duys & Co., of New York, and of the Wisconsin leaf tobacco i)acking firm of L. B. Carle & Son. of Janiesville. His friends among commercial men were legions. He was a past State President of the Travelers' Protective Association, a member of the B. P. O. E., Knight of Malta, Sons of Vet- erans, as well as other secret and re- ligious organizations, Mr. Uhler is survived by a son, Wil- liam L. Uhler, who has been for sev- eral years past associated with his father in business, and one daughter. Interment will be made at the Eben- czer Cemetery, Lebanon, Pa.

Be- sides, where artificial irrigation has supplanted the neglect of nature, a very fine class of leaf has also been raised. The rumor of a scarcity of good wrappers, of silky texture, and of even, clean colors, seems unfortunately true. While this drawback is the most seri- ous this year, some of our large cigar factories are still supplied with a quan- tity of old wrappers which they can use. and if it should come to the worst, then the clear Havana cigar smokers must shut their eyes and rely upon their taste exclusively to find out whether a cigar is palatable or not. into manufacturers' hands before the summer is over. Remedios may not after all have pro- duced as large a quantity as was ex- pected at the beginning of this season, and while there is an abundance of light leaf the heavy qualities of first and second capaduras may be less than in 1908. Prices paid to the farmers were high in the beginning, later on the fig- ures were modified, but as the yield of heavy styles is small and the prices for the light classes may rule low, the chances are that the American manu- facturers will have to pay dearer this year for their particular grades.

HAVANA riCJAR M AM F A<"Tl RERS Still had a busy week, at least those \\\\o principally have dealings with Germany, as perhaps 2,530,000 cigars were shipped by the steamer Havana, although the exact figures could not be ascertained. The German Govern- ment will lay an additional duty of 40 marks, or about $10 per 1000 on all stocks of cigars on hand in the Ger- man Empire on August 15th, and thereafter the new duty of $too per 100 kilos and 40 per cent, ad valorem will be in force. It remains to be seen to what extent the exports from here to Germany will be afifected in the fu- ture. Business with the United States is normal, but large orders are expect- ed this fall. The demand from Great Britain, Canada and South America is fair. H. Upmann & Company shipped 650,000 cigars last week, and the H. Upmann factory is busy with orders from all parts of the globe. Sol had also large shipments from Germany to execute last week, and in addition Max Schatz, the U. S. representative, is hustling as much as ever, so Behrens & Company are in- ■creasing their shipments to the United States, Partagas is doing well. This factory has secured excellent tobacco from the 1909 crop, and its new cigars are bound to please discriminating smokers. Henry Clay and Bock & Company, Ltd., shipped 1,500,000 cigars to Ger- many last week. Don Gustavo Bock, since he has been again at the helm in the factories, has done his utmost to satisfy smokers by sending excellent cigars to the United States and Eu- rope. Now it seems that he has re- ceived more orders than he can conve- niently execute, as his object is not to rush, but to continue in sending cigars, which must please the customers. For- tunately, this concern still has a very large stock of the 1908 crop, and by adding thereto its purchases of the new crop, a guarantee is furnished for a continued prime (luality. Figaro is steadily gaining ground in the United States, as well as in Eng- land and Germany. HlYINCi, SEI-MVCi AMI OTHER ,\oTEs OF i> ri:iu-:.sT.

Mr. Schwartz, however, expects to also again enter the cigar trade, and will 'ere hmg, make a formal an- nouncement. * * ♦ H. HEY\EMA\ INTER VIEW^ED. H. Heyneman, general representa- tive of the American Tobacco Com- pany, with headquarters on the Paci- fic coast, returned to New York last week on the steamer Mauretania, of the Cunard Line. To reporters he said: "During my four months' trip abroad through England, France, Germany and Belgium, I found busi- ness conditions not on a very sound basis. In the lower part of Germany there were large tracts of land where crops had been utterly destroyed ow- ing to the excessive rains in that part Harry M. Duys, of H. Duys & Com- pany, returned to New York last week, after attending a number of inscrip- tions of Sumatra tobacco in Holland. John H.

There was a slight decrease in the receipts from the sale of cigar and to- bacco stamps at the revenue office here last week. This was prolxably due to the fact that several of the fac- tories were closed to enable their hands to take their annual vacation. The total receipts amounted to about $7000 as against $8500 the week pre- vious. The manufacturers here have little to complain about at the pres- ent time and feel much encouraged as to the outlook. A. Thalheimer & Son, manufactur- ers of cigar boxes and wooden novel- ties, at 141-143 Cedar street, are very busy. They employ 100 hands on full time. Their specialty is cigar boxes, and about 6000 arc made daily. An- other line is cigar box lumber, made ready to turn into cigar boxes.

Entered at the Philadelphia Poat Office as Second Class MsKer, k: PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 4. 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS In the leaf tobaccd market of this city considerable activity was experi- enced last week in desirable Connecti- cut seconds and thin medium wrapper leaf. There was also a ready market for offerings of 1906 Pennsylvania, but the transactions were curtailed by the Hmited supplies which this market at present aflfords. The Sumatra market developed lit- tle more than a sample bale business, and no special demand seemed to ex- ist for Havana tobaccos. 4( 4< « It is almost without exception that the larjjer cigar manufacturing estab- lishments have at present a number of good sized orders in hand, and not a few are advertising for additional com- petent cigarmakers. One large es- tablishment had an advertisement for more hands in all Philadelphia Sun- day papers. The July output is likely to show up most favorably, and will, without doubt, exceed the figures of the previous year nicely, but the aC' tual figures from the revenue offices will not be obtainable yet for several days. ♦ * * R«)bert Klec, at Thirteenth and Gir- ard avenue, last week booked an order for 50.000 of his Mttzart brand of fine cigars, from a Denver, Col., house, which is making a good hit with the goods in that locality. During the few months Mr. Klee's business has been increasing nicely, and if the pres- ent ratio of increase can lie maintained throughout the remainder of the year, it will probably |)rove to be the largest he has had for a long time past. ♦ * ♦ There is a noticeable contrast be- tween the activity now prevailing among the larger factories and those of smaller capacity. It seems that tht larger factories, and especially those whose got^ds are shipped to m<»re dis- tant points, are having good orders coming in right along, while the fac- tories doing a more local business, with a few exceptions, of course, are doing a comparatively small business. The theory has been advanced that the United Cigar Stores Company has made considerable inroads in this city, and that manufacturers selling their goods largely in the local market have been hard hit, yet we find some who declare that this is not a fact, and 12 that it is due largely to the dullness, which still prevails to a large extent among certain of the manufacturing establishments, which has reduced the earning capacity of mechanics and mill ])eople. etc., which in turn affected the local trade to such an extent that the manufacturers of cigars have felt it, and still feel it severely. * * * Box trade seems to have been fair with retailers, and an additional tran- sient trade has also been enjoyed by dealers advantageously located to ben- efit by the large number of daily ex- cursionists, etc. Visitors have been in goodly numbers during the past week, and among them were many representa- tives of jobbing houses. wh«) also left pleasant reminders behind them in the way of substantial orders with our manufacturers. Aaron Kingsbaker, of the Kings- baker Cigar Company, Kansas City, Mo., was f)ne of the recent arrivals in town. * * * The Juan F. Portuondo Cigar Manu- facturing Company has engaged F. W. Clark, who was formerly connected with the R. A. Patterson Company, of Richmond, and who will cover Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, »»ashington and Maryland. Ue will make a specialty of the iirm's new product. "All .Mike," in his territory. * * ♦ Bremer Brothers. Third street leaf dealers, have done (luite some business in Wisconsin leaf during the past week. * t * The month of July was a pretty sat- isfactory one with Julius Vetterlein & Company, and the sales for that month made a very favorable ctMuparison. * * ♦ Doli.in & Taitt. during the past week found C(.tnsiderable demand fi»r leaf from among their numerous old cus- tomers. * * * Adolph Loeb, of K.

Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. P.oston, Mass, Aug. 2. The jobbing trade here ccnitinues to be good; in fact, with many it is a rec- ord-breaker for this time of the year. But retailers locally are not so jubi- lant. Tlie extreme h(jt weather this week put a crimp in many a bank roll, and people rushed to summer resorts and other cool spots to try and escape the heat. Merchants at the summer re- sorts and along the Cape, where the United States warships are manouever- ing, report business very good. In sa- kin this week "Old Home Week" took place, and the U. S. S. Salem lay at anchor in the harbor. A banquet was tendered to the jackies, a big street l)arade took place, and it was a gala time for the "Witch" city. At the ban- quet many souvenirs were distributed among the jackies. E. W. Harrington, New England representative of the Larus Brothers Company, sui)])lied each sailor with a package of both Edgeworth and Sensible tobacco, and this advertisement made quite a hit. As a number of the warships are now at Charlestown Navy Yard, and shore leave has l)een given many of the crew, retailers in Charlestown report good business for the week. At Province- town, where the big fleet is gathered, there was over $100,000 spent by the sailors last Saturday and Sunday. Much liquor was sold to the jackies, and Ad- miral Schroeder, I understand, issued orders to stop the shore leave for Sat- urday and yesterday. Collector Gill, of the Internal Reve- nue ]3eparlmcnt, announces that cigar manufacturers, leaf dealers, and ped- dlers who have failed to register, as recjuircd, on July i, will be obliged to I-ay $50 penally imposed by law for their delinquency unless they attend to the matter at once. Frank X. Oberle, of F. X. Oberle Conijjany. manufacturers of the popular Dostonia lo-cent cigars, left on Thurs- day for Baden. Germany, after a stay of several months in this country. The Surbrug Company is now giv- ing gratis three books of Zig-Zag cigar- ette paper with every cartoon of 20 books of this well known paper. J. Baden, representing this concern, has beeii canvassing the trade in Lynn this week, while H. Morrison, has been sending in some nice orders from Brockton. Kid Nichols (Phillip Morris Co.) af- ter a stay of two weeks here, has left for York State, his first stop being Saratoga Springs. The famous brown package of cigarettes is a very good seller here, and is well distributed. T. H. Rosenthal, of Rosenthal Broth- ers, New York cigar manufacturers, was here Wednesday and Thursday calling on his local distributors. Ro- senthal Brothers, Hyneman Brothers and Daniel Frank & Company. Mr. Rosenthal reports business good, and states that this year so far shows an increase of 25 per cent, in his factory's output. Much advertising is being done here on the Rosenthal Brother's Spe- cial, a five-cent monicible cigar, that has already made many of our large lo- cal cigar manufacturers "sit up and take notice." McGreenery and Manning are now placing with their trade a brand of Porto Rican cigars called Portina, made by the Porto Rican American Tobacco Company, makers also of the El Toro cigars, which is being jobbed here by Estabrook & Eaton. L. S. Woods, formerly a salesman in this vicinity for the Philip Morris Company, has joined the Butler-Butler Company's crew, and is now out selling the Pall Mall cigarette.

Bureau of The Tobacco World, 52i Caswell Block. Milwaukee, July 31. During the past few days the weather has bev:n very hot. the thermometer registering over 90. and trade has fallen off to a very large extent. At Surman's l)usiness is quiet. Steve will return from New York to-night. At the Wells Building store business has also been quiet. Joseph Brcnk. the popular clerk, stands high in the Hero Medal race, and has a good chance to win out. The Pabst Building store of this firm is doing a fair business. At the Fifth street store trade is fair. Manager Voss is still on the sick list. Practically all of the other dealers are complaining about the weather and business. Joe Leising, who for a number of years has repaired pipes in the window of the Caswell Block store of Leo Abraham & Company, has discontin- ued. In the fields the crops need rain bad- ly, all riders rejjorting that unless coii- ('itions change there may be a very ])■ M )r crop. In .\iilwaukee the dealers are enter- ing into the national war against cou- pons. Leo .\braliam. in a recent inter- \ iew. stated that while his linn are users of the cou]ions he would be ])leas- td to see it abolished. He states that many undiscriminating persons come to demand the coupons and the gifts that go with them. Coupons, therefi^re, are in many instances figured in the cost oi production, the result being inferior material in cigar and tobacco. At the Fay Lewis & iirother stores the cou- l)on is not favored. The United Cigar Stores agents say that they see no harm in them, claiming that the public de- mands them. . .any of the Racine mer- chants are entering into the war to have them abolished. During the next few days trade in this city should ])ick uj), owing to the many visitors who are arriving by every train for the "Home Coming." Many of the local dealers will have their places decorated for the occasion. At Janesville, Wis., the Marquisee warehouse was again damaged by fire. The i)lant is located on the site of the old warehouse which was totally de- stroyed about a year ago, entailing a large loss. The Earle warehouse at Edgerton has resumed stcming operations, with about 50 hands employed. O. A. Kronipas. Benton.

PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 11, 1909 One Dollar the Year Not Nearly So Strenuous as the One Proposed by the House Bill. Under subterfuge of passing an ef- fective law against coupons with ■cigars and tobacco products, the bill is really only a re-enactment of old laws. The advocates of the Hevcridge amendment to the Payne tariff bill car- rying with it a clause which, it is be- lieved, would have effectively barred the use of coupons for free gifts with any form. of tobacco products, find that, to use the vernacular of the street, they have been "handed a lemon." Hope was. however, maintained even when there was no more hope, and although a delegation proceeded to Washington as late as Mcmday, Au- gust 2, and succeeded in being present- ed by Congressman Moore, of Phila- delphia, all efforts were in vain. They are now busily occupied in trying to make a consoling explanation of the multiple of causes which are said to have resulted in the failure of accom- plishing anything practicable. The delegation clings to the idea that if they could have had a few days longer time they might have succeeded in having the amendment reconsidered and probably re-introduced, but it ap- pears that long before the time of tak- ing the final vote in the Senate every Senator and Representative had his Saratoga already for shipment home, and they were in no mood to prolong their stay in Washington's torrid at- mosphere to consider a matter wdiich apparently seems most trivial to them. In fairness to the delegation which proceeded to Washington it should be said that they were, indeed, hampered in their efforts by the fact that there had not been a concerted action on the part of the trade. .Indeed, it was found that some interests were stren- uously at work in opposition to the movement, while it had been hoped ma- terial aid would come from them. Pages could be easily written on the subject, but the want of space will not permit our dwelling on this sub- ject at greater length, although it is not unlikely that considerable more may be said at some future time as the full truth does not seem to have yet dawned on the public, as will be seen from the following, taken from a news- paper published in Denver, Col.: "There is a little joker in the tobac- co schedule of the new tariff that will cause a great deal of mental anguish to the local smokers. "The tariff enacts that no package of cigars, tobacco or cigarettes shall carry a coupon, or promise, or offer of, or any order of certificate for any money, prize gift, premium, payment or re- ward. "Thereby rings the woe of any to- bacco smoker who had the wild idea that within a lifetime they could save enough coupons to get a lead pencil or the capital prize, which is a hearse and nine carriages. ■"A number of the various brands of l(;bacci) on sale throughout the coun- try have a coupon or certificate or tag in the package which entitles the pur- chaser to some premium running all the way from a fine-tooth comb to a l)aby carriage. "Fortunately the tariff gives the to- bacconists time to dispose of the stock they have on hand before the law goes into effect, otherwise they would be compelled to open every package and take out the coupon." From the above it might be taken that the new tariff measure, so far as coupons are concerned, is a drastic measure. Let us therefore also ob^ serve how it is regarded by other pa- per. The following is from a St. Louis paper: "The clause of the tariff bill just agreed to providing that no package of ttd)acco. cigars or cigarettes shall carry any coupon or order for any pri/.e or gift, is not worrying St. Louis tobacco men, according to J. E. John- son, manager of all the United Cigar Stores in St. Louis and East St. Louis. "Johnson says that his stores conduct a profit-sharing plan whereby the cus- t(^mer gets back lo per cent, of his purchases in premiums or cash. He says the smokers favor the arrange- ment and the fact that the buyer likes it, he says, is the best argument that it is a good thing. "Johnson said that an attempt was made several years ago by legislators to stop the giving away of premiums with tobacco products, but that the laws they made were declared uncon- stitutional. The tobacco men of St. Louis are unaware of the intention of the conferees to quash the American habit of saving coupons on cigars. Johnson says they will by no means stop giving away coupons until official- ly notified to do so by the Internal Revenue ofificers." BURLEY FIGHT NOT SETTLED. "UNION-LEADER" CONTROVERSY. CIGARMAKER OWES $64,218. The Question of Control of the Market Still in Doubt. Paris, Ky., Aug. 6. The struggle for the control of Ken- tucky's t(jbacco leaf market between the Hurley Society, the National So- ciety of Equity and the independents was sharply defined here to-day at a mass-meeting, the most important of any thus far held in Kentucky. One thousand tobacco growers, who will control 6000 acres of matured leaf this fall, assendjled at the Court-house to listen to addresses by leaders of the different factions. Miss M. Alice Lloyd an>J A. L. Fer- guson spoke in behalf of the Burley Society, urging the growers to sign the pledge to pool their tobacco with the Hurley Society and sharply attacking the Society of Equity. Congressman Campbell Cantrill, president of the Kentucky branch, American Society of Equity, replied vigorously on behalf of his organiza- tion. Hon. Cassius M. Clay, representing the independents, assiled both societies as parties to an agitation which has re- sulted in night riding, arson and mur- der. He predicted civil war if a pool of the 1909 crop should be effected. The Globe Tobacco Company Makes a Statement. Anent the article which appeared in these columns on July 28th, concern- ing Union Leader vs. Union World, we are in receipt of the following from the Globe Tobacco Co., of Detroit. The first letter is taken from a pho- tographic copy of a letter from an as- sistant counsel in the Law Department of the American Tobacco Co. June 24th, 1909. Globe Tobacco Company, Detroit. Michigan. Dear Sirs: — Your favor of the 21st inst. to this company has been received. You cer- tainly cannot be in earnest when you write you object to our putting out "Union Leader" tobacco. This trade- mark is already involved in litigation between us, and if you think you are right in your contention you can avail of this in your defense to that suit. Very truly yours, (Signed) A. H. Burroughs. The above letter, it is contended, was the cause of the Globe Tobacco Co. issuing the following letter to the trade: Detroit, Mich., July 22, 1909. Dear Sir: — We have before us a copy of a cir- cular letter issued by the American Tobacco Company over their signature under date ol July 8, 1909. We (luote from this letter as fol- lows : "Our attention has been called to a circular letter issued by the Globe To- bacco Company, claiming that it has the exclusive right to use the word 'Leader' as a tobacco trademark, stat- ing that the word was already the sub- ject of litigation between it and this company. "It is not , true that the word 'Leader' is the subject of litigation be- tween the Globe Tobacco Company and this comi)any." (Signed) "The American Tobacco Co." We enclose herewith a photographic copy of a letter written to us by the Law Department of the American To- bacco Company under date of June 24, 1909. previous to their issuing the cir- cular letter referred to above. After reading the quotation from their circular letter to the trade, dated July 8. 1909, and also their letter to us of June 24, 1909, we ask you to draw your own conclusion and judge for yourself whether the American To- bacco Company or ourselves are guilty of untrue statements to the tobacco trade. We ask you as American citi- zens for fair play and a square deal in this matter. Will you indorse such methods by encouraging the sale of their goods? We ask no favors of them; all we want is honest competition and the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth at all times. Very truly yours, Globe Tobacco Company, W. R. Hamper, General Manager. Minneapolis, Minn. — The cigar & confectionery store of M. Darmenter was damaged by fire. Joseph P. Boyce, of Boston and Somer* ville, Files Petition in Bankruptcy.

The ma- jority of them paraded after the busi- ness name of "La Flor de la Isabella," as they came from the province of Isabela, back in the bolo country. All these cigars had been kept in bond pending President Taft's signa- ture to the new tariff bill, which rc- nioved all duty on cigars brought in from the Philippines. As a result Manila cigars which formerly sold at three for a quarter are now on sa.le for five cents each, including the tin- foil wrapper and all tin- other aristo- cratic trimmiiii4>. tliose that formerly sold at fifteen cents straight now bear a sale price of three for a quarter, and so on down the line. * ♦ * ClKur Mttii'N CoHtly Tip. Convinced that he has the original liard-luck champion beaten to a filmy froth, Frank Masterson, a cigar dealer of No. 2637 East Twenty-fifth street, Sheepshead Bay, is forlornly waiting to-day for some tidings of his lost $920, which by rights should have been $7360 now. Masterson had been losing all sea- son on the ponies. He decided to make one last coup to recoup. His plan was to get a tip on a sure-thing, put the kibosh on one of the memory l)Ookies and quit the game. Sunday he got the tip. It was to put all he could get on Affliction in yesterday's handicap, and he knew it could be relied on. Packing his grip lie placed $920 in his trousers pocket and started to Saratoga. At Brook- lyn Bridge he changed to the subway. He passed the tip to a friend on the train who didn't want it, mentioning incidentally that he had the $920 safe in his clothes, and when he got off .at Grand Central and started to buy a ticket he found that his roll was gone. Every guard and conductor was questioned, but no trace of the miss- ing $920 was discovered. Masterson went back to Sheephead and tried to sell some real estate, but it was Sun- day and he couldn't. He also failed to raise a few hundreds from some of his friends. He couldn't get any one to play the sure-thing tip. In disgust he finally put an advertisement in a pa- paper for the lost money and went home. Affliction won the handicap at odds of 8 to 1. Had Masterson got down his $920. as he intended, he would have cashed in $7360. * * * Toliae^ per cent, extra on the company's common stock. * * * tJutMtkN* CredlturM Meet.

Lid On Tight Against Sales of Cigarettes and Cigarette Papers. Duluth, Minn., Aug. 4. A reporter sauntered forth this morning into the bright sunlight, look- ing for a place to buy the little nerve restorers. Not that he wanted to smoke them himself, but merely out of curiosity, to see how tight the lid was on. The first place to be visited was a j^mn on the bowery that did not look too clean and where the odors were n(jt the most pleasant. The man did not seem t(»o careful and it looked easy. "A package of cigarettes; it doesn't make much difference what sort," said the reporter with an easy air. as hts rattled some change in his pocket. The smile on the man's face vanish- ed instantly. '■Xolh:n.> (1 liijg." he growled. lie made a motion toward the door. He was big an:l ■ trong and the reporter (lid n )t wait to argue with him. There was a man on the Lenox Ho- tel corner who had a Turkish Trophy in his mouth that had no doubt been in'.rchased in parts other than around' the Head of the Lakes country. He looked gocxl for a touch and after screwing up his nerve the reporter ambled up and asked, by way of get- ting things started, if the Superior cars passed the corner. The man didn't know, said he was a stranger and kept all the time puffing on his cigar- ette. "Haven't another one of those aids to rest and comfort?" asked the news- pai)er man in a very humble tr)ne. "Just threw the box away." remark- ed the man in an offhand way. "Be- sides." he continued, "the law is on here. 1 understand. Thirty dollars fine, you know, and 1 haven't too much money." The reporter looked back after he had crossed the corner and saw the man taking a fresh cigarette from a box that looked to be full. He wandered into a first-class shop on Superior street. "Nice morning, Dick." he said to the clerk. "Yes, fine," was the answer. "I say, Dick, can you let me have some cigarettes, cigarette papers or anything to make a pill out of?" said the reporter in such a way as to im- l)ress on the clerk's mind that nobody should be told. "Can't do a thing. We are all out; haven't a cigarette in the house; the old man is not taking any chances. Wish I could help you out." This last was said in a sympathetic maimer. ;\ number of other shops were visit- ed and not in one of them could the makings be obtained. The law is no joke as was at first predicted and not even a paper eye-glass cleaner could be obtained. There are requests every day for the l)aper smokes and more pipes have been bought since the law went into effect than ever before in the city, ac- cording to the tobacco dealers. Meanwhile there is no joke connect- ed with the new law in Duluth, Michigan W. C. T. U. Plans State Cam- paign Against Public Use of Tobacco. Encouraged by what they consider the assured prospects of success in the anti-liquor contest in Michigan, the leaders of the W. C. T. U. are prepar- ing to organize a war against the pub- lic use of tobacco. The following ex- tracts from Detroit papers give warn- ing of what is to be expected: (From The Journal.) From various points about the State has come the word that the W. C. T. U. is planning tan Legislature in its legislation against the sale of cigarettes last win- ter. Our work for social purity and again-it tobacco is going forward hand in hand, and I am sure that within a very short time, immediately after we have won the State for prohibition, we will have obtained the strength neces- sary to legislate out of existence the manufacture, use or sale of tobacco." ( From The Times.) Prepare to reform, army of tobacco users! The Women's Christian Temperance Union, encouraged by the spread of prohibition through the State and na- tion, is preparing to actively campaign against the use of tobacco. "We are much encouraged by the progress made against liquor all over the country." says Mrs. Annie L. An- drus, the prominent W. C. T. U. work- er. "We are so sure that State-wide prohibition will be accomplished after next spring's local option elections, when we are sure that not less than 20. and probably more, counties will be made dry, that we adopted as our slogan at our State convention, 'State- wide Prohibition in 191 1.' "Hand - in -hand our campaigns against the use of tobacco in any form and for the purity of the nation are going forward. We have not lost a imtment's time. Last winter, it was largely through our efforts that the IMichigan State Legislature saw fit to enact a law greatly restricting the use of cigarettes, a step in the right direc- tion toward our ultimate goal, the ab- solute prohibition of the manufacture, sale or use of tobacco in any form. The action of the Presbyterian Gener- al .Assembly in Denver last June, against the use of tobacco, will be of assistance to us in our fight." The Rev. J. M. Barkley, of the For- est Avenue Presbyterian Church, was moderator of the assembly at which the action was taken. '<;:^-^> Columbus, O.— The Tobacco Brush- ing and Stripping Machine Co., Cin- cinnati, has been incorporated here with $200,000 capital. Incorporators: Aaron Goodsky, A. V. Fuhman, Harry L. Linch, Frank Fuhman and Louis Goodsky. Smooth Stranger Showed Dealers a New Way to Shake the Dice. An urbane stranger dropped into Berkeley a day or two ago to teacb the local cigar dealers how to shake dice. He did not state his mission in so many words, rather intimating that he was a tyro and anxious to learn, but when he departed last night he was at least $200 in pocket, and the vic- tims are still wondering how it hap- pened. Among those who contributed to his assistance were C. W. Hoessli, who is reported to be loser about $40; E. W. Slade, $65; D. Branssfield and others. The man was polite and gracious ana took good care that his little game ; was not played when there was a crowd about. He preferred quiet and , freedom from interruption, even from customers. The familiar "20" was his favorite game. This is played gen- erally in the cigar stores in Berkeley and it affords plenty of exercise and counting. The stranger at first was willing to use the dice behind the counter, but declaring that the percentage was against him, he adroitly suggested that a new lot of dice be forthcoming. In the manipulation it is supposed he substituted a set of his own, well- loaded. At any rate the second stage of the game was always disastrous for the cigar man, so much so that it seemed as if the usual chances in favor of the house had gone glimmering. The stranger was impartial in his visits, but it was not in every store that he succeeded in getting an op- ponent. It is against the ordinances to shake for money and some of the dealers have even cut out dice-shak- ing for goods. These are glad they did so, considering the results of some of yesterday's efforts by others to win by the old familiar chance method. The stranger disappeared as noise- lessly and as unostentatiously as he came. The police heard of him, but he had lost no time in getting clear of their jurisdiction and no trace of him has been found. Business Changes, Etc. Darien, Wis.— Ed.

City Crowded with Visitors, and Cigar Men Say They Were Good Spenders. Bureau of The Tobacco World, 52a Caswell Block. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 7. "Homecoming" was celebrated here this week, and was a big success, many visitors having arrived and nearly all of the home people turning out in full force. The streets were packed with the merry throng, who proved to be good spenders. All of the local dealers report doing a good business, even though the weather was extremely hot. At the stores of most of the dealers special bargains were run and all were taste- fully decorated. The Wells Building store of Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. had a display of the Tom Moore and Henry George. These brands were also on display at the other stands of this firm. Allanson did a very good business. His display window was tastefully ar- ranged with the leading brands of home manufacture, among which were the Mi Carmen, of Fernandez & Bro., the Mi Vera, of Edward Kalman; the Alcazar, of Louis Kindling Co., and many other popular brands. A newcomer among the Milwaukee stores is E. A. Craig, who has opened a store in the old stand of the Trans- fer Cigar Co.. which had been suc- ceeded by C. C. Hendee. This store is well located, being but a half block off the main thoroughfare, on East Water street. The manager is Fred Weil, well and favorably known to users of the weed. He was formerly with Leo Abraham & Co., knows the business thoroughly and has a host of friends. The success of the new venture is practically assured. All the leading brands are on display and handsome fixtures make the store equal to any in the city. The cigarette law is again working in this State. At Racine recently the Wisconsin Anti-cigarette League made an effort to secure evidence by visiting all of the leading stores, but it is said that they were unsuccessful. At Kaukaunna, Wis., the law will be given a test. F. M. Charlesworth, a druggist of that city, was recently arrested, charged with giving away cigarette papers. He will fight the case, appearing in Court and demand- ing a jury trial. The case has gone over until August 19. A. C. Brenkle, a well-known cigar dealer of this city, was recently injur- ed in an auto accident, in which his machine was burned. At Rockford, 111., the Fay Lewis & Bro. Co. store, which was established about 34 years ago, has been sold to Charles H. Phelps and John H. Hart- man. Phelps for many years was a clerk in the store and is well known to the Rockford people. The wholesale business of the firm will be continued, as will the Milwaukee and La Crosse stores. In the growing fields the crop has been retarded considerably by the continued dry spell, and unless the weather changes it is feared that the crop will be far below normal.

Busi- ness has been fair with our k)cal re- tailers and reports from out-of-town are very good. Okl Home Week was largely celebrated in Gloucester this week. Over 150.000 people visited this quaint New England town on Tuesday when a very large street parade took l)lace to celebrate the event. The U. S. S. Olympia is anchored at Portland, Me. A banquet took l>lace Friday on shore, which was at- tended by 600 jackies. The first case in which violation of ihe law regarding the sale of cigar- ettes and tobacco, recently passed by the Legislature, was charged, was aired in Court Saturday, when Judge Sullivan, in the first session of the Municipal Court,' fined Joseph Rosen, of 40 North Russell street, $10. The law went into effect on July 3 and re- quires all storekeepers to have a post- er placed in a conspicuous place in their shops on which is printed the rules and regulations laid down by the Leg- islature. Somebody passed off one of the bright new Lincoln pennies upon an unsuspecting Italian yesterday for a $5 gold i)iece. The Italian did not dis- cover his loss until he walked into a cigar shop and wanted a five-cent cigar, and $4.95 in change. "Here," said the storekeeper, as he fumbled the penny, "wot's this?" "Fiva dol," was the reply.. "I'unk! If you took that for $5 you're swindled." Then the Italian sorrowfully laid down the cigar, picked up the penny, looked at it closely for a moment and said: *1 getta dat in change. Man tella me, Link's face on da gold maka it fiva dol. Link's face not gooda to me. Rotten da pen! 1 passa it on da po- lice, maybe!" Johnny Rankin, manager of the cigar department at the Markell Drug Co.. on Scollay Square, is spending his vacation this week at the Blue Hills. 1. G. Prince, representing the E. H. Gato Cigar Co., of Key West, was here on his initial trip. Up to July I the (lato cigars were distributed by Acker, Merrill & Condit, of New York, but now the Gato Cigar Co. is selling direct to all jobbing houses. The Khedivial Co. has laid off all its missionary salesmen in New Eng- land, the reason given being that the factory is oversold on many of the leading brands and it was deemed best to lay off their salesmen for a brief period. In last week's issue I reported that Albert Rollman, president of the Lib- erty Tobacco Company, with head- quarters at 498 Tremont street, had eloped with a Brooklyn miss. Well, such was the rumor which Mr. Roll- man had caused to be circulated on the day of his departure. The fact of the matter is Mr. Rollman skipped and took with him all the available cash he could get his hands (m and many creditors now mourn their loss. The Liberty Tobacco Co., Inc., start- ed in business about three months ago. A. Rollman was elected president and general manager, and S. Nathan, treas- urer. Mr. Rollman had induced Mr. Nathan to embark in the jobbing busi- ness, telling him of the fabulous prof- its to be made in this branch of the cigar and tobacco trade. Mr. Nathan is now and has been conducting a re- tail and manufacturing cigar business on Court street for many years, and has a good reputation and credit. Mr. Nathan being a busy man, left the en- tire management of the business af- fairs «)f the Liberty Tobacco Co. to gTHE TOBACCO WORLD ^; Telephone Call, 432— B CBice and Warehouse: FLORIN, PA.

Mr. Rollman's whereabouts are now earnestly desired by our local jxilice de- partment, who which to lay their hands on him as he i)rol)ably took along with him about $2300 in cash which did not belong to him anrl did so in an un- lawful manner. The liabilities of the Liberty Tobac- cri Co. are in the neighborhood of $5000, due principally to a few local creditors. The stock and fixtures at the store were sold at auction Saturday by order oi Messrs. Sonheim and Har- ris, two assignees appointed to settle Vip the affairs of the defunct hrm. The sale brought a total of $1025. A prom- inent retailer in the neighborhood of Castle Square is said to have purchas- "cd considerable of the stock at a low figure from Mr. Rollman a day or two before his departure. This affair is also to be looked into by the a^- signees. J. .Mtshuler, cigar manufacturer and retailer at 15 Elm street, has been do- ing considerable advertising the past few months on his 5-20-8, a ten-cent cigar equal in quality to any of the linest imported cigars. Mr. Altshuler i> a clever salesman and is very popu- lar with the trade. .He has his brand well distributed in this ltK\ality and re- tailers knowing the good qualities of this cigar pu^h its sale. Whenever a customer comes in and asks for the best ten cent, cigar in the show case Maurice Hanauer, of the firm of Bieringer Bros. Co., has returned from his trip abroad, looking the picture of health. Frank Roseboom and his three hustlers are hot on the trail with "Buckingham" cut plug. Retailers re- port same as gaining many new steady customers. The tine aroma of a 5c. package (»f Buckingham tobacco is ccjual to that of any 10c. or 15c. pack- age of smoking tobacco offered by other Concerns. The .\. T. Co. has a crew of window you can rest assured a 5-20-8 is handed him and he usually comes back the next trimmers here doing display work on for more. Thus the cigar is get- trophies, Helmar, Mogul and Murad cigarettes. Every window obtainable is being used, and as most of the inde- pendent manufacturing concerns have dropjjed off this branch of advertising for the summer months the American has easy sailing. Flarris & Co.. cigars, of Boston, composed of Simeon Harris, of Chel- sea, and Jacob Miller, of Boston, have received a discharge in bankruptcy.

York, Pa.. Aug. 7. Reports from the ccnmty show that the growing tobacco was materially helped by the rain of the past week. The concensus of opinion is, however, that there will be only a partial crop. (jrafton I). Spangler, of Chance- iiird* reports tobacco looking exceed- ingly good in his neighborhood. Leonard E. Olewiler. an old cigar manufacturer n )w retired, but who still oversees his numerous farms, re- l>orts farmers much discouraged, par- ticularly at the looks of the tobacco, and that a large acreage cannot under the present conditions of the dry spell mature l)efore the time of cutting. .\n( ther big tobacco grower is pessi- mistic enough to believe that the crop in the entirety will not reach a 75 per cent, of normal. Major Gillespie, of the Gillespie Co., a well-known tobacco dealer, having just returned from his vacation with his family at Atlantic City, finds imi)rovement in his leaf to- l;acco business of which they have been holding al)out 500 cases of their own packing of 1907 broad leaf. Connecti- cut and other lines. He also claims that it is very evident that the market is growing stronger in prices owing to tlie settlement of the tariff question and a general improvement of busi- ness. There is a boom on at the W. H. Snyder cigar factory at Windsor. C. W. Price, of Cedar street; Chas. Seiker. Vinton Welsh & Son, Max .\uschmidt. Max Kalish and others see improvements in the business. Factr)ries at Yoe. Dallastown, Red Lion and (»ther cigar centres are mak- ing additions to tlieir forces.

Washington, Aug. 14. One of the resuhs of the new tariff bill will he to put J'hilippine cigars on the American market in a way that will be unique. To prevent any advantage being taken of the Ameri- can consumer and at the same time to insure full benefit of the law to the Philippines, the War Department has devised a plan to stamp the imported cigars with a stamp iiulicating that the goods are of a certain quality and were put up under proper conditions. Certain influences, it is said, have been at work in the United States during the past ten years calculated to prejudice the public against cigars imported from the Philippines. The same influences were felt prior to the free trade relation with Porto Rico. This Government stamp, it is believ- ed, will prevent misconceptions as to the quality of the product, and at the same time frustrate any attempt to put inferior goods on the market. Porto Rican tobacco came into dis- credit, it is pointed out, through the efforts of manufacturers who literallj flooded the American market with 4 cheap grade, labeled Porto Rican. And only six weeks prior to the pas- sage of the new tariflf law certain in- terests were said to have entered into negotiations with persons in Manila to manufacture several million cheap cigars for America. It is believed that the War De partment's plan will have such satis- factory results that eventually it will be followed in the United States, and that the domestic manufacturer will find it to his advantage to have to- bacco undergo the same process oi investigation as applies to foods un- der the pure food act. SHERMAN ANTI-TRyST LAW Interesting Proposition to Cigar Manu- facturers. In the advertising columns of this week's issue, the Keystone Chemical Co.. of York. Pa., is making a spe- cial oflfer to cigar manufacturers, for tively early have been stunted by the the purpose of more widely introduc- ing their "Havana Aroma," a chemi- cal product which has been on the market for the past ten years, and which has been successfully and profitably employed by a number of manufacturers. There is no more ex- perimenting with this product neces- sary, as that preliminary work was done long ago at the labortary, and work on it was continued until it was an actually perfected and valuable product. The fact is attested by the successful use which has been made of it by many users, but like all con- cerns which are conducted by men of really business acumen, the desire of the Keystone Chemical Co. is to ex- tend its field of usefulness, and there- fore they are making the above-men- tioned offer to cigar manufacturers. It costs nothing to investigate. LEE TRO CIGAR COMPANY May be Invoked Against the Burley Tobacco Society. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 12. Mr. Denny Moore, president of the Blue Grass Tobacco Works, returned last week from a conference of Inde- pendent tobacco growers, which was held in Cincinnati, Ohio. There were present members of the Scott P. Dil- lon Company, John J. Bagley Co., and others. Mr. Moore believes that these independent companies are get- ting along nicely and he also believes that- there is a wonderful opportunity for independent manufacturers to dic- tate the policy of the Burley Tobac- co Society of Kentucky. "The Burley Society has done a great many things which the independents do not ap- prove of, and it is only a question of time," said Mr, Moore, "provided the Burley Tobacco Society forces the is- sue, until the Independent tobacco manufacturers invoke the Sherman anti-Trust law against the Burley So- ciety. The Independent tobacco com- panies of America believe and know that they are in a tirst-class position to take action against the Burley So- ciety, and they believe that they will have no trouble in making a great deal of diflficulty for the Burlev So- ciety." Opens Maiiufacturing Plant in Old North State. The Lee Tro Cigar Company has opened a manufacturing plant in this city at No. :!04 West Vance street, and is now manufacturing two brands of high-grade cigars — Lee Tro and El Waldo. W. H. Turner is presi- dent of the concern and D. A. Kistler. general manager. The plant is start- ing out on a small basis, but hopes to grow larger and larger if this lo- calitv is suitable for such a business enterprise. The factory has only been working for a few days, but reports that pros- pects are bright for the success of a business of this kind in the Queen City. BUYS IN OLD DOMINION. R. J. Reynolds Purchases Big Virginia Plantation. Roanoke. Va., Aug. 12. Alabama, 04H; Mississippi, 90; Louis- R. J. Reynolds, the millionaire to- bacconist, of Winston-Salem, N. C, has purchased the Chiswell plantation in Wyeth county, this State, from J. H. McGaverck, the price being $35,- 000. The farm contains over 3000 acres of the finest land in the South- west. It is understood that with the sale goes all the machinery, crops, fixtures, etc. It is not known why Reynolds made the purchase, unless it is for the same reason that Thomas V. Ryan and other millionaires have ac(iuired Virginia estates, viz., to be- come Virginians. Abilene, Tex.— Walker Smith Gro- cery Co. will engage in business here. The firm will erect a building specially equipped to carry a large stock, and it will be supplied with a special room for the storage of cigars. i^ta^l 312-314-316 pROADWAY, NEW YORK Trays, Match Safes, Cigar Cases, etc. A Complete Line of Articles Specially Suited for Cigar Manufacturers Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers A Suction Table that Will Reduce the Cost of Your Production Liberman Mfg.

HAVAXA CIGAR >I AM FACTl RERS The small manufacturers, who prin- cipally work only Partido leaf, have an exceedingly hard road to travel. They nearly received a death blow wheh the McKinley tariff took effect in Xovember. 1S90. and many went out of existence. The few remaining factories worked chietly with Ger- many, and now this country may in future dispense with this class of ci- gars, owing to the tremendous in- crease in the duty. Germany im- ports from 25 to 30 million cigars •<;ach year from Havana, one-third of which are of the finest high-priced ci- gars and two-thirds of cheap sizes. The former may continue to be ex- ported to Germany, as they cannot be substituted, and as all the smokers are rich people, they will continue to smoke this class of cigars, whether the duty is higher or not. The cheap and low-priced cigar will be substi- tuted by the German manufacturers in their factories, and Cuba will lose the export of about 20 million cigars to that country. The Partido facto- ries can only look to Great Britain and Canada as their future best cus- tomers. Our large Vuelta Abajo factories are workino^ with fair forces. A great OTHER KOTES OF INTEREST Puente, Granda & Co. were large fellers last week, as they disposed of 800 bales of Partido and Remedios leaf. Thomas Englchardt was a purchas- er of «(X) bales .)f choice Vuelta Aba- jo and Partido leaf for his El Engle f;»ctory at Tampa. Sobrinos dc A. Gonzalez sold 471 bales of all kiiul- «>l l^'-'if to several ciistoiners. Jacob i.enncr bought 500 bales of prime leaf for his Chicago firm. Gonzalez & Benitez closed out 300 bales of Remedios during the past week, .and thev have already sold 4(XK) bales since the betrinning of this crop year. Adolfo Moeller, as usual, is one of the big shippers to Germany, and does not know the word "fear" as re- irards the increased tariff. He ex- Dorted 742 bales to Bremen last week. A. Pazos & Co. turned over 300 bales of Vuelta and Partido to one of their customers. Don Antonio Pazos gave $500 toward the fund to siruort the families of the Spanish soldiers who are now lighting against the Moors in Morocco. 1. Dankowitz left by the steamer Havana, pleased with his purchases of of nearly 900 bales. He is an excel- lent uidge of leaf tobacco, knows ex- actly what his trade wants, and is a verv close buyer in protecting the lat- ter's interests. B. Diaz & Co. sold 250 bales of Par- tido and Vuelta Abajo. J. F. Berndes & Co. shipped 579 bales of leaf tobacco to Germany and Austria. Muniz Hnos & Co. were sellers of 209 bales of Remedios and Vuelta Ab- ajo last week. Charles Blasco did a good business last week, as he closed transactions amounting to close on to 10(X) bales of different kinds of leaf for his va- rious customers. Jose F.

Vice Chancellor Garrison yesterday granted Thomas J.

Richards sold a parcel of property to the Lorillard Company, which forms part of the ground upon which its million dollar plant at West End, Jer- sey City is to be built. A small strip was retained by Richards. He claims that the strip is a lane known as Rich- ards Place. The tobacco company started to tear up Richards Place, claiming that it was part of the pur- chased land. Richards' injunction has tied up the entire improvement, which is one o! the biggest that has been started in Jersey City.

HEILAND & CO., Laocaster Pennsylvania Representatives New York August Stamp Sales Better July Figures. Rain Cheers Tobacco Growers. York, Pa., Aug. 14. Deputy Revenue Collector Stray- er, at the York office, reports appar- ent signs of an increase in sales of stamps for August over those of last month. Interviews with tobacco grow- ers in various parts of the county show no new changes of appearance in crops; notably the tobacco crop, which, like all others, is still suffer- ing for rain. Benjamin Stoner, an extensive tobacco grower, from Hel- 1am, expresses the opinion that with fair conditions of crop and rain soon, only a fair-sized crop can be looked for. The sectional showers, do little good. What is necessary to benefit is a good, soaking rain of several days' duration. E. A. Wallick, representing the New York Lithographic house of Hey- wood, Strasser & Voigt Co., has just returned to his home here after a four weeks' trip, during which time he reports he found visible signs of improvement in trade generally, and especially among some of the cigar manufacturers whom he called on. He is expecting to now devote some time to looking after the needs of the cigar trade in this section of the country. Quite an animated discussion c^ the tariff schedule took place at the Col- onial Hotel here the other day, be- tween "Billy'' Lahr, a popular cigar manufacturer of Red Lion; H. F. Mar- tin, cigar manufacturer in this city; John F. Reichard, leaf tobacco dealer of this city and Red Lion, and A. ^L Shepp, a well-known leaf tobacco broker of York. It seems that all were not of the same opinion as to the re- sults of the new law, but any one of them could probably have given the Honorable Sereno valuable pointers on the payne-ful needs of the trade, and the likely effects of a proper re- vision of tfie tobacco section of the bill. \\' . \. Lahr, of Red Lion, when in York, a day or two ago. informed your representative that he was ex- periencing a noticeable improvement in his business, and that he had lately received some good-sized orders, which made it necessary for him to secure additional hands. He is pre- paring for an extended Western busi- ness trip, and will go as far as Seattle, taking in the Exposition at the same time. On a trip through the county you will notice the tobacco growing nicely at some farms, and a short drive will reveal a backward growth on others. The scorching rays of the sun have caused much wilting in vegetation, and along the route lawns, trees and shrubbery which us- ually at this season present an at- tractive and beautiful appearance are turning yellow and dying for want of rain. The Now York-Windsor factory at Windsor, which was closed for some time, has again resumed opei;- ations with about fifty hands, but it is intended to increase the force to 200 hands. A number of the old hands have returned to work. At several other Windsor factories business is reported a shade better. At Loganville there seems to be a lull, while at Jacobus, Nashville and York, New Salem business is good. The Hiram Martin factory of this city received additional orders to-day. Manager Fidler, of the John W. Minnick & Son cigar factory, at Dallastown, reports good orders be- ing received and the adding of more hands. Michael Hose, the well-known cig- ar and box manufacturer, of Dallas- town, for a change from the worry of business is enjoying a two-weeks' va- cation at Atlantic City with his fam- ily. Park Shaw, cigar manufacturer of Dallastown, and his wife have return- ed home from a two-days' trip. At the warehouses of the York tobacco dealers, business is seeming- ly on the mend. John W. Minnich has been confin- ed to his home at Dallastown for sev- eral days, but is not thought to be seriously' ill. Curvin Grove accidentally fell down a flight of stairs in the W. J. Neff & Co.'s cigar factory at Red Lion, but beyond a sprained ankle es- caped serious injury. W. M. Gemmill & Co. have been increasing the working force at their Red Lion factory. Wolf Bros. & Ziegler, of Red Lion, have also been increasing their force of cigarmakers lately. An employe of the Merchants* Cigar Box factory at Yoe badly lacer- ated his right hand by a saw. M. E. Plymire, proprietor of the Equivalent cigar factory at Logan- ville, has closed down operations for some time, owing to dullness in trade. Charlie. Business Clianges, Etc. Chicago, 111. — B.

PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 18, 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS The principal business done in the leaf market this week was the showing of samples. Actual transactions con- summated were few and unimportant.

Big Tobacco Plant of John J. Bagley & Co. Burned: Loss About $100,000. Firm Will Rebuild at Once. Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World," 53.5 Campbell avenue, Detroit, Mich.. Aug. 16. So far as actual trading is concerned, conditions are about the same as last week. Leaf tobacco men and cigar manufacturers have been kept busy filling orders, but as fall is approaching local concerns see signs of a slowing up. The cooler weather always brings with it a lighter demand, and conse- quently no dire results are anticipated. Detroit manufacturers are all talk- ing shop this week. In several fac- tories minor repairs are being made and preparati«iMis for the probably les- sened demand are being taken. During the last couple of weeks there has been a heavy drain on local cigar and tobacco stocks. Windsor (just across the river) had a home- coming, and as a consequence hundreds of the visitors spent some of their time, also money, in Detroit. A cigar treat comes natural to most men, hence the trade. Then, during the last week, several conventions have met in De- troit, and money was spent freely at the different stands. The wholesale trade has also benefit- ed along with the retail. The different dealers have experienced no difficulty in selling goods and, for the most part, collections are easy. The plant of John J. Bagley & Co.,, tobacco manufacturers, at 48-54 Bates street, together with the entire stock, was ruined by fire which, for a time, threatened Detroit's wholesale district. Thursday night. The narrow escape of a score of young women employes was one of the thrilling features of the fire. The loss is placed at $100,000, covered by insurance. The fiik' /friginated in the drying room on the third floor, and in a few seconds had swept through the inflam- mable interior. When the fire depart- ment reached the scene the building was a mass of flames and nearby struc- tures were threatened. The flames ate their way through the upper floors with great rapidity and burst through the roof with a dull roar. One fireman was injured when he fell from a water tower. Though neither John N. Bag- ley nor Paul F. Bagley were able to state the exact loss, they estimated the damage at the previously mentioned figures. About 300 employes, mostly girls, were thrown out of work, but in view of existing conditions, it is not thought they will remain idle long. The Bagley building was purchased by John J. Bagley fifty years ago, and up to now there had never been any fires or serious accidents in the build- ing. "We will set about rebuilding just as soon as possible," said John N. Bagley. "Meanwhile we do not intend to remain idle. Our building at 12-18 Woodbridge street is so adapted that we can start (»perations there within a few weeks. We cannot afiford to be idle at this season, and we must get in some place. The Woodbridge building is suitable for our purpose, and be-. sides it is our property. "As to giving an estimate of our- losses that is a hard thing to do. We were very heavily stocked and our building contained some valuable ma- chinery. An estimate of $100,000 would not be far out of the way, but I do not want to go on record as making any definite figure." The cause of the fire is unknown, and the efforts of the Bagley brothers, the police and firemen to discover it were futile. R. H. Stanzell, in Brown City, has moved his cigar factory from his Maifk street quarters to the second floor of the building across the street. Im-^ provements have been made in the new- location, and the factory can have an-, increasecj capacity if necessary. Frank Loselle, a Wyandotte cigar - merchant, is considered some shucks i when it comes to baseball playing. Ihy a recent game against a Detroit nine he got three hits in four trips to the plate. He also starred as an outfielder. Theodore Belanger, River Rouge druggist and also dealer in cigars and • tobacco, has returned from a trip on - the St. Lawrence River. He reports having a fine time. "Business is so-so with me," says H, S. Mitchell, River Rouge cigar dealer. "The strike on the Great Lakes hurts my trade." Tiorted.

Sellers, Sellersville, Pa. THE TOBACCO WORLD TOBACCO MATTERS IN LANCASTER. Leaf Market Conditions are Unclianged. Tlie Long Drougiit Broi^en. Lancaster. Pa.. Auj?. 14. The leaf tobacco market in this city has been generally quiet during the past week, although a report was received during the latter part of the week to the effect that a sale of a packing of 1907 tobacco had been made by an out-of-town packing firm. This is about the season of the greatest dullness, and no particular revival is looked for until samples of the new goods are ready for the market, which will be the case in a few weeks. Rains set in yesterday, and have been continuing throughout to-day, which have caused a great deal of re- joicing among the tobacco growers, all of whom had become consider- ably alarmed over the possible results of the protracted drought. Of course, much more rain is still needed and it is hoped that i ow there will continue to be rain for a few days, or that there will be more frequent showers, which might po^sibly yet save a maj- or portion of the crop. It has often been >^cen that a period of ;.'4 hours can completely change the conditions" of a growing tobacco crop and turn it from what seemed sure failure of the crop to one of the very best. It is hoped that history tiriU^repeat it- self in that respect. It is reasonably certain, however, that the crop will not be fully ma- tured until dangerously close to the time of frosts, and that possibility is Rtill giving no little concern. Even the cr>)ps tliat were planted compara- drought. and it will be only by a nar- row margin that they can mature be- fore the usual time of frost. Later crop.s. under favorable conditions from now on. may progress even more rapidly than the tobacco planted earlier, and it is not an impossibility that some of those crops may yet turn out to be the lincst. Quite a number of new tobacco biirn.s have been erected in this cf)unty this year. An immense new building was put up this spring and summer on one of the farms of M. R. Hoffman, of ^L•lytown. and a large barn was also erected last week on the farm of Norman Hoffman, near Bainbridge. Weidman & Eshleman. of Ephrata. last week sold their packing of 1007 tobacco, consisting o/,- kmujc r)00 cases, to George Hoffman,^, of this city. Terms have not been made public. ,"^' .•• It is reported here that Charles W. Bitner. George lloffmati and George W. Newman have been seen in Phil- adelphia lately looking over the leaf market section of the city in a way that gave the impression they were prospecting for local (|uarters there. No information has. however, been given out by any of the gentlemen mentioned. Raymond .\. Ileiland, an active young tobacco man, connected with the well-known leaf brokerage firm of John E. Heiland & Co., has been spending a vacation at AUcnwood, Pa. 14 An employe of the Kinports cigar factory at Ephrata was last week overcome by the intense heat, but is improving nicely now. Aaron J. Bach, of Elias Bach & Sons, leaf tobacco packers of New York, have taken title to the tobacco warehouse on North Charlotte street, which has been occupied by the firm f )r some time. John E. Brimmer, of the packing firm of John V. Brimmer & Son, has returned to this city after a five weeks' trip West, during which time he visited the Seattle Exposition. IN THE READING FACTORIES. Feeling tliat the Weary Wait is Over and Trade Improvement Near. Reading, Pa., Aug. 14. The cigarmakers of the J. G. Han- sen factory. Tenth and Spring streets, who struck for more wages, returned to work last week, their differences having been amicably adjusted. Mayer & Co.. leaf tobacco dealers of Philadelphia, inter.d starting a new- cigar factory at Womelsdorf, provid- ing they can get 40 hands. A repre- :entative of the lirm is now at Wom- elsdorf trying to get the required help. The factory will be established in the plant formerly occupied by William Schaffner. (♦Nott'. — No such a firm .-is Mayer & Co. Is known in the leaf trade of IMiiladelphia. Alfred Mayer, ji well-known <*igar man, who has ortlces in the iMexel Rldg.. Phila- delphia, has recently made sever.il trans- actons in the leaf tr.ide and likely has taken out a leaf dealer's license to com- ply with thf law. No response <-ould he secured to 'i>hone calls and no stati'meut w;is secured from him.) E. A. Lehr was granted "permission to remove his cigar factory from 1117 North Twelfth street to Temple, and to W. Nusser to remove his factory from licrnhart's, to 1717 Moss street. The employes of the R. D. Ober- holtzer cigar factory at Bowmans- ville enjoyed their ar.nual outing last week. The day was spent in playing baseball, (|Uoit pitching and fishing. .\ visit was also made to Devil's Cave. -«• ^IST % The Vocum and Gring ci||Ht^naker. to '). The contest was very exciting throughout. Yocum Bros., 7»).') W^alnut street, one of Reading's big cigar factories, find trade is not so good. Their trade cf)vers-the whole of the United States and is such as to sell 100.000 cigars a week. This represents or- ders from every section of the coun- try except the East. But it is noth- ing compared with the business the factory did before the financial de- pression. The chief brands are the \.H., a ten-cent cigar, and the Spana Cuba, a live-center. Wherever there are smokers these brands are known. W . H. \'()cum. a member of this firm, speaking about the admittance free of Philippine cigars, said: "This is bound to hurt the trade. As many of these cigars as are ad- mitted free, that many less cigars will be manufactured in this country. It will be a bad thing for the trade."' In the same way Dibert Bros., 2:il Washington street, feel about these cigars coming in. They claim that the effect will not be felt for a year or so, but then it will hit the trade hard. This factory, which is a big one, finds business dull just now, as July and August, being the vacation time, are always the bad months for the business. Cigarettes are smoked more frequently just now, and that means a decrease of just so many cigars. The factory, however, is running along evenly with shipments every week to all parts of the country. Their chief brands. Fan Tan and Lady Berks, get sent all over, but their best market is in the Western part of the State. No large shipments are made, as the factory does not deal with the jobbers, but directly with retail firms. J. M. Wentzel, GSO Pear street, is still doing a good business. He has just shipped cigars to Lynchburg, Va., and to Harrisburg. His local trade is good and his brands, Mac- cabce and Baldwin, still meet with the approval of fastidious smokers. E. M. Keller, 52 South Fourth street, had intended putting his new brand. Taps, on the market this week, but was delayed in doing so by the non-arrival of his boxes. As soon as they do come he will push the sale of his r.evv weed hard. He has had a few judges try some of them and every one spoke well of the choice- ness of the cigars. His Eye Opener, which has becotne a standard smoke hereabouts, is still selling well and shipments are being made to the coal regions every week. W. C. M. Moyer, 424 North Tenth street, is busy as usual. The success he has met with his Cuban Standard has encouraged him to try a new brand, and he expects to have it on the market shortly. He is also ship- ping many cigars away, the latest lot being sent to Orwigsburg. The N. & N. Cigar Co., :n North Seventh street, has been running full time. Their chief brand. Jerry Mur- phy, is still in demand and orders come not only from local dealers, but from all parts of this section. Nor- ristown, Pottstown and that part of the State received the last shipment, and a big demand for the cigars ex- ists there. This factory, too, expects to put a new brand of cigars on the market shortly, and another hit is expected with it. The samples that have been made up thus far have come up to expectation, and will be a treat 'for the smokers. ' "..-uo Dibert Bros., cigar manufacturers. No. 2:n Washington street, one of the largest concerns of its kind in the city, report business good, and indi- cations point to a busy season for the remainder of the year. A full force of hands is employed. W. W. Stewart & Sons, cigar man- ufacturers at Eighth and Greenwich streets, arc tnaking a new brand of cigars called the Lady Helen. H. F. Stoudt has been engaged to look after the local market. Inability to supply the demand has caused John Hcffelfinger, cigar man- ufacturer at 528 South Fourteenth street, to cancel several orders. He is employing as many hands as can stir around in his shop, and will probabl}' erect a larger establishment next year. Several hands have been added by Cigar Manufacturer William H. Shultz, 1010 Cotton street. His fac- tory building on Maple street is a two-story brick ^ructure, equipped with the latest improveinents. He manufactures the Leader brand of cigars, which is deservedly popular here. Morris H. Ruth, manufacturer at 800 Schuylkill avenue, has been very busy the past several months, and like other men in the business, is very hopeful as to the future. He enjoys a large one in his Our Chief, a nickel brand, and is preparing to put a new one on the market in the fall. H. S. Hassler, formerly a cigar man- ufacturer and a member of the form- er well-known firm of Hassler & Hel^ lerpick, is now interested in the Ec- lipse Sign and Advertising Co., with a factory in the old Penn-Troy Laun- dry building here. A specialty is made of signs of all descriptions and a noteworthy feature of the firm's business is that they turn out an enormous lot of attractive designs for cigar manufacturers and leaf tobacco dealers in different sections of this and other States. The widow of Robert P. Eiceman, a former well-known cigar manufac- turer of Womelsdorf, who died two weeks ago, filed a closing inventory with Deputy Revenue Collector F. W. Cranston, and closed down the fac- tory. Samuel Searle^ ^ of Stouchsburg, Berks county, who operated a cigar factory at the toll-gate in that village for a number of years, has closed out his business and filed a final inventory. William H. Smith, a prominent cig- ar manufacturer of this city, filed a bond in the sum of $1000 with Dep- uty Cranston for the manufacture of high-grade cigars, at No. lilt Chest- nut street. He has had many years' experience in the business. L. P.

Boston Not Stirred by Fesr of *£neray." Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. Boston, Aug. IB. The trade was treated to another surprise this week, following so quickl}' the assignment of the Lib- erty Tobacco Co. that members of the trade have hardly had time to get over the first blow. Now comes the disappearance of another wholesale cigar and tobacco dealer, by the name of D. Silk, who formerly conducted his business from an office on State street, and who recently opened a branch store in ^oxbury. Mr. Silk was not very well known in the trade, in fact, many people here did not know of the existence of such a firm. Still this wise young man has been able to wheedle a number of our wholesalers out of various amounts of money by some device. The gen- tl.-.. It is now to be hoped that in their anxiety to do business our local job- l)eis will be a little more conserva- tive in the future, as from information obtained from one of our largest job- l)ers here, had many of these credi- tors looked up this D. Silk's standing and references they would not have extended him any credit whatsoever. It appears to me that credit is very chiap here. All one has to do is to obtain same is open a cigar store and have his card read, ** Wholesale To- bacconist," make a bluflf at doing a jobbing business, and people will flock to extend him credit. Boston and vicinity has been flood- ed with a lot of cheap Turkish cigar- ettes for the past two years, made ur principally in New York city, and bearing the 54c. stamp. Now that the new tariff bill has increased the internal revenue tax on such goods if is to be hoped that we will see fewer of these cigarettes come here» which in many cases contain more dust and dirt than tobacco, and which have had a distressing effect on our community, and which' in a way has been very detrimental to many of the reputable manufacturers of cigarettes who seek to place their brands oa this market. Barney Hoffman has resigned from the selling force of the Turco-Amer- ican Tobacco Company. W. Chand- ler, formerly employed by the Nestor- Gianacles Co., will have charge of the Turco-American New England busi- ness, with his headquarters in Bos- ton. Hyman Mandel. of Mandcl Bros., cigarists. is spending a week's vaca- tion at Bath, Me. Hyman will cer- tainly enjoy himself, having taken along with him a box of R. B. Spe- cial Cigars. The Columbia Theatre opened for the season Saturday evening. As in past seasons, Jim Farren has leased the cigar privilege. He carries the famous Poet 10-cent cigars in the va- rious sizes. His leader in ."i-cent cigars will be the Rosenthal Bros.' Special, a .*)-cent Invincible cigar that is being extensively advertised here by Rosenthal Bros., of X^w York, the nianuf.'icturers. The firm of Allowich Bros., whole- salers and retailers, at :i\:2 Hanover street, will in the future be known as Alford Bros.

They packed about 800 cases of the 1908 Connecticut Broadleaf, grown in South Windsor, and this is said to be one of the linest lots of leaf grown in manv years.* Cigar manufacturers in the market for any such leaf would do well to correspond with this con- cern. Mort M. Frank, representing H. Bacharach & Co.. of New York, is in town taking orders for Taussig & Co.'s well-known Florida Sumatra wrappers.

Trading in redried lots has been very quiet. NOKTII CAKOLINA. Rocky Mount.— The Uocky Mount tobac- co market opened for the season on last Thursday, August .">, witli all five of the warehou.ses selling on tliat day. The of- ferings amounted to about 'J.'MMH) to 30.000 pounds, and were entirely of tlie priming tyi)e— bottom leaves. Tlie character of the offerings was better than expected from reports of the crop heretofore, being of a good l>right color and comparatively free from dirt, though lacking in body and weight. Prices .averaged about 8 cents, and were satisfactory, as a rule, to the sellers. All the buyers were out in full force and bidding spiritedly. The crop is more than half cured in this section, and with several weeks of good weather will be housed and ready for mar- ket. Oood sales are expected from now on. 20 For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes, go to Established 1880 Monroe D. Sellers, KEYSTONE CIGAR BOX CO., SELLERSVILLE. PA. ^^K T H E TOBACCO W O R L D ^^ J. B.

The American Society of Equity and the Burley T(jbacco S<»ciety are at hist in harmonious accord in rej^ard to poohng the tobacco crop of 1909. Four propositions were submitted by the Burley people to a meeting of Burley and Equity people. Tn each county organized by the American So- ciety of Ecpiity in which the tobacco is pooled through the local unions of the Society of Equity the Burley Society will pay the one dollar ])er hogshead allowed as connnission for pooling to the local union. The Burley Tobacco S* ciety will pay over to each county all money due for tobacco sold within ten days of the time this money is received at the headquar- ters of the society. The liurley Tobacco Society will pay lo the American Society of Equity $10,- 000 — one-half to go to the national so- ciety and one-half to the State society out of the pool of 1909. The first $5000 is to be paid October I, if the pool is successful. The Burley Society will adojjt a by- law fixing a minimum charge for priz- ing and handling the crop. No changes in the pledge as adopted some time ago are suggested. The National Board of Directors of the American Society of Equity meets at Indianapolis to-day, and President Drayton will present these propositions and recommend that they be accepted. The State Board of the American So- ciety of Equity will meet at Bowling Green August 19. and State President Cantrill will present them to the State board and recommend their accejjtance by that body. NEW COMPANY IN NEW ORLEANS. Foster Cigar Co. Will Begin Business in Crescent City September I . New Orleans, La., Aug. 20. The Foster Cigar Company, another wholesale cigar lirni. will open busi- ness on September i, at No. 608 Com- mercial Place, and will handle the El Palencia, Flor de Jefferson, El Merito and Victor brands, and several other ci- gars. C. S. Foster, formerly president of the Louisiana Tobacco Company, and for years a traveling man, will be the president of the new concern, with Au- gustus Block, a well-known cigar man, and for eighteen years a cigar drum- mer, vice president. Herbert E. Wood- ward, also well known to the cigar trade, will be secretary and treasurer. Handsome offices will be used by the firm for the showing of their goods, and as each of the gentlemen compos- ing it are generally well known, the success of the firm can l)e reckoned. Tiireatens to Prove Expensive to Tobacco Association Organ. Guthrie, Ky., Aug. 20. It is understood there is a serious hitch in carrying out the contract be- tween the Tobacco Planter, a paper published at this place, and the Dark Tobacco Growers' Association. At a recent meeting of the association direc- tors that paper was made the official organ, and a contract made by which tiie paper was to be sent regularly to every association member. The sub- scriptions are to be paid by the asso- ciati(tn and aggregate several thousand dollars. The postal department has re- fused to allow such subscriptions sent tnrough the mail except as first-class matter, and it is said the postage amounts to considerably more than the amount paid by the association for the entire issue. An effort is being made to have the department change their ruling. WILL ORDER CIGARETTESJBY MAIL Despite tlie Adverse Opinion of Deputy Attorney General. Minnapolis, Minn., Aug. 20. Despite the fact that Assistant At- torney General George \V. Peterson says it is illegal under the new anti- cigarette law for dealers to accept or- drs on out-of-State sources of supply, many Minneapolis retailers will con- tinue to order pajjer smokes for their customers, backed by a large local wholesale house whose branch man- ager says State laws have no jurisdic- tion over inter-state commerce. The house in question takes the ground that a sale is not made until goods are delivered and that, if cigar- ettes are sent from Chicago or New Y(^rk direct to Minneapolis custom- ers the State law is of no effect. The method followed is that the customer goes to his retailer and or- ders 100 or 500 or 1000 cigarettes of the desired brand. The retailer hav- ing no stock on hand, orders his lo- cal supi)ly house to have the cigaret- tes sent direct to the customer from Chicago or New York. The cigaret- tes arrive, the customer pays the re- tailer, the retailer pays the wholesaler and the wholesaler pays the shipping house. The defenders of this neat le- gal point contend, respectfully that the Assistant Attorney General is mistaken. Local dealers say that there is not a great demand for cigarettes as yet. 'Everybody is supplied," said the manager of a large downtown store. "People have not used up their ad- vance stock yet. I expect to see a heavy demand in about thirty days." Oshkosh, Wis. — George Ilaverty, ci- gars, etc., sold out to A. J. O'Brien. Articles of incorporation for $20,000 Concern Filed at Lexington. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 18. Articles of incorporation of the Fay- ette Leaf Tobacco Company, with a capital stock of $20,000, and with S. H. Halley, of Fayette county, owning fifty shares; David Reed, Lexington, twenty-five shares; Clara Reed, Lex- ington, twenty-five and W. E. .Sims, Woodford county, twenty-five shares, have been filed with the County Clerk. The place of business is to be Lexing- ton. The company is to receive, grade and handle tobacco, and provide a warehouse for handling it. It may also re-dry and manufacture tobacco and advance money on crops. S. H. Halley is to be president and general manager of the company. WILL QUIT TOBACCO BUSINESS. J. J. Goodrum Resigns Presidency of Tobacco Company. Atlanta. Ga., Aug. 21. J. J. Goodrum, one of the best known and most popular of Atlanta's young business men. has retired from the presidency of the J. J. Goodrum To- bacco Company, with which he has been identified for years, and which he has made one of the most profitable corporations in the city, and will enter upon other fields of commercial activ- ity. He has been succeeded in the presi- dency of this corporation, which will continue to bear hi^ name, by J. W. Davis, who has been vice president of this company. Mr. Davis, with his family, have been in Atlanta for some time now, where they have made a host of friends, both in business and socially, and who are congratulating him upon his elevation to the presidncy. MINNEAPOLIS CIGARIST DROWNED. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 18. John S. Muir, cigar merchant, 321 Fourteenth avenue, southeast, Minne- apolis, was drowned at Excelsior Lake Minnetonka, early Sunday evening, his wife, whom he had married only three months ago, standing on some rocks in the water ten feet away, powerless to help him The body was recovered three min- utes afterward, and three physicians worked for more than an hour over the body, to no purpose. It is now said that Muir really met his death through heart disease, as he was an expert swinnner and had only been in the water a short time. Mr. Muir was about thirty-five years old and well known in southeast Min- neapolis. Combination Will Soon Add Ohio City to Its Chain of Stores. Columbus, O., Aug. 21. The announcement that the United Cigars Stores Company will begin op- eration in this city at an early date, will be interesting to smokers, who have long wondered why Columbus had not been included in the great chain of cities in which this business has been established. A lease has been taken of the store at 17 No. High street, and already the premises are undergoing alterations for the occupancy of the United. The.se stores are now in operation in ninety of the principal cities of the United States. In New York alone the company has 192 stores, or as it advertises, "stores all over, one always in sight." Chicago has 45 stores under the United Sign; San Francisco, 40; Philadelphia, 18; Boston, 12. and so on down the list. United Cigar Stores arc not cut rate stores, but they do their mer- chandising on a small profit, which is based on a tremendous volume of business. Some of the controlled brands of United Cigar Stores cigars are sold in quantities that are simply aston- ishing, the entire output of several factories being marketed exclusively by the United. This is the United motto: "No matter what price you pay for cigars, you get better cigars for your money than are obtainable elsewhere." "The United Cigar Stores Company will not tolerate any unsatisfactory transactions" is another of its mot- toes. You will get what suits you, or you will get your money back. All the United Stores are run on a co-operative plan, which permits the clerks to share in the profits. They participate in the success of the Com- pany, which, in a seven years' career has been one of the most wonderful developments of mercantile enterprise this country has ever known. In ren- dering a decision in the government's suit, known as the tobacco case, the Unitetl States Court went out of its way to compliment the methods of the United Cigar Stores Company, which, though aggressive, the Court said, were straighfforward and honorable.

Gonzalez were sellers of 796 bales of all kinds of leaf, among which were i:{0 bales of the 1907 Vuel-' ta Abajo growth, and for which there is now a good demand. Heinrich Xeuberger was a shipper of 040 bales of leaf by the steamer Sara- toga last Saturday. Jorge & P. Castaneda closed out 500 bales of Partido and Vuelta Abajo from their choice holdings.

A con- siderable (|nantity of goods was taken by them, but yet the aijs>'C}^ated vol- ume was from all reports not actually as heavy as had been anticipated might be the case. Operations were no doubt curtailed to sctnie extent l)y the fact that there were only limited (piantities of samples of some types of Connec- ticut and also of Pennsylvania tobac- cos on liand. Notwithstanding these facts there were recorded several sales of the 190X Pennsylvania as well as a moderate amount of Connecticut Hav- ana seed, which is not yet fully sam* pled. The presence of the buyers was also benellcial to the Sumatra houses, as several important parcels were taken by them, and mail orders for the im- ported wrapper leaf were somewhat heavier. Considerable impetus was also giv- en to the Florida wrapper leaf, which seems to be gaining in favor since the prices have moderated and the quality of the more recent croi)s shows signs of important improvement. The volume of business done in ILi- vana tobaccos was. to all reports hard- ly in keeping with the reported ac- tivity on the Island. Transactions were largely of a routine nature. 4t >l< * THK CICiAR I^niSTKV. There is no encouraging change in the conditions of the cigar trade from the manufacturers' standpoint. Fac- tories are, however, kept in oi)eration because it is believed that the stock- ing up of some goods now will come in usefully later in the year, should there be exi)erienced a rush for goods, and of which there is some prospect. Sales with the local retail trade do not augur so favorably at present, but with the close of the usual vacation period it is possible that the New York dealer will fmd an improvement in the volume of his business. « « 1(1 liEAF SA>ll>l:v. The well-ktiown New York leaf to- bacco inspecting and sampling ftrm of F. C. Linde Hamilton & Company,, have announced the dates of sampling of the 1908 goods, which is in ac- cordance with the rules of the Nation- al Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association,, and also the New York Leaf Tobacco lioard of Trade. Circulars have been issued calling attention to their claim that the "Linde" ticket has been ap- I)roved of by the National Association oi Leaf Tobacco Men. Communica- tions are recpiested to be addressed either to the firm's maiji office in New N ork. or to any of their numerous agents, which are located at every im- portant packing centre in the country. * * * IXITKD IN \KW FIKI.Df In a recent issue of a New York daily it was announced that the United Cigar Stores Company, having dispos- ed of a majority (jf small cigar deal- ers, is now believed to have embarked in stationery business. It is either proprietor of or a part- ner in a new business deal, which may result in putting practically every small stationery and combination cigar and static mery shop in New York city out of business. In a quiet way there have recently been opened throughout the city many stores of a combination sort, in which periodicals, all kinds of staticmery and school supplies, and a full line of "United Cigars" can be obtained. These, it is said, are but the begin- iinig. and within a short time many of the United Cigar .store stands in res- idential parts of the city will be con- verted into combination stores. At these places it is not admitted that they are (nvned by the United Cigar Stores Company. They are operated, it is declared, under the firm name of Davis & Klein, which appears in black and gold signs over the door of each, but there are other signs of the windows proclaiming some kind of participation by the United Cigar Stores Company. * 4> * ri; The Largest and Most Modern Cigar Factory in the World New Factory Building of S.

AUGUST 25, 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS It has been seasonable (|uiet in the leaf niarkel during the past week, and there is no discouragement to be taken from the fact either, because leaf hous- es are allowing their traveling men to close their vacation seasons this month, and will no doubt start out bright and fresh early^.in September. There was again considerable i)rospecting for leaf in this market and some dealers were kei)t fairly busy showing a line of their goods to visitors, but the sales thus far consummated have not been large. There was also only a transient trade done by the leaf jobbing houses, as local manufacturers are buying stocks sparingly as yet. * ♦ * The cigar industry throughout this First District looks pretty good, and the trade has not yet fully gotten over congratulating itself upon the splendid record achieved during the month (^f July in which an increase of 5.000,000 was recorded as compared with the month of July of 1908, and which also brought the total production well nigh up to the high water mark of July, 1907. .As it stands it was the largest production of any July, with the ex- ception of 1907 for a decade of years past. It is a fact that the facilities of a number of our manufalcurers are taxed to the utmost, and that addition- al factory room is very desirable. Some have, indeed, already taken the necessary steps in providing the neces- sary additional facilities by securing factory acconnnodations out of town, but within easy access. * * * Allen R. Cressman's Sons, makers of the popular "Counsellor" live-cent cigar, arc among the busy ones in this city, and the fame of this piece of goods is being rapidly spread over a large area of the country with an al- most equally phenomenal success, which characterized its introduction in this city. Recently their manufacturing facilities were considerably enlarged with a view to meeting the rapidly in- creasing demand for the product. * * * Detective Whitcman, of the Reading Railway service, was hurled through a car window at Columbia avenue station early Monday morning in a battle in which he and Detective Cornwall were engaged with John Welsh, alias Mc- "Donald, and Albert Mangold. Disre- 12 garding his injuries, Detective White- man rejoined Cornwall and the two succeeded, with the assistance of City Detective Emanuel, in overpowering and arresting Welsh and Mangold, and seizing two suit cases and a tele- secope filled with leaf tobacco, the property of the cigar manufactory t)f Sig. C. Mayer & Co., at Shelly, Pa. The detectives had been sent to Col- lunbia avenue station to look for the thieves. They traced the tobacco by its odor to the suit cases, and in an endeavor to take Welsh and ]\langold encountered unexpected resistance. The f(»rmer was identified at detective head- ipiarters as a former convict who had served eleven years in prison for rob- bery. Mangold has also been under arrest, and his brother is at present in prison awaiting trial. Welsh and Mangold were remanded in default of $2500 bail each in the City Hall police court for a further hearing. * 41 41 While attempting to sell 300 cigars at Thirteenth and Filbert streets, which he is said to have stolen from a near- by grocery store, Jacob Stein, of Lom- bard street near Seventh, was arrested by Special Policeman Lazellc, of the reserves. He was held in $1000 bail for a further hearing. John Dougher- ty, of Taney street, below Dickinson, was held in $300 bail as a witness in the case, he having given the informa- tion against Stein. * 4t 4t Charged with having stolen cigars from his landlord, Harry Grossman, who conducts a cigar store at No. 4800 North Sixth street, Stephen Mazukia- was held in $800 bail this morning by Magistrate Beaton, in City Hall police court. Grossman testified that he had missed cigars and money, amounting to several himdred dollars. Last night he heard noises in the store. He de- clares he discovered Ma/.ukia, a rotun- er, iti the act 01 appropriating cigars from a partly filled box lying on the counter. * 4> o Is it the duty of every one of the icx),ooo men in organized labor to buy and smoke union label cigars — that is it he smokes at all? Around that question there swirled and bubbled a lively argument at the meeting of the Central Labor Union Sunday afternoon. And in the end it had to remain unsettled. By some of the members statements that organized labor did not support the union cigar- makers was construed as an attack ^>n labor men and were resented accord- ingly. The exchange of compliments con- tinued too luuil some one moved that the Cigarmakers" Union be requested to i)ut cigars "fit for human use" in the labeled boxes. That stopped the argument and sent the proposition to a vote. It was lost, but by a mighty small margin. The discussion was really the out- growth of a continuation of last week's talk about the coming Labor Day de- monstration, when it was openly charged that followers of Contractor Jim McNichol's labor agent, Frank Feeney. chief elevator inspector, were trying to break up the parade by in- ducing vari«)us organizations to stay out of line. Among the organiaztions was mentioned the Cigarmakers' Union. George Uhlrich, the delegate from that union, said that the cigarmakers had not participated in the parade for two or three years, but insisted that it was necessary to t)ffer any explana- tion for their absence this time. Re- ferring, however, to the assertion which, he said, was frequently made^ that organized labor supported the ci- garmakers, he made this statement: "There are 10,000 labor men in the city. If half of them smoked a cigar' each day, that would mean 50,000 cigars a day. There are about that many made a week by the union cigar- makers. We have about fifty men in strictly iniion-label shops. If the la- bor man gave us the right kind of sup- l)ort, that number would be a thou- sand. We do not get the right kind of support. That is the whole thing in a nutshell." This provoked a storm of protest, and a number of delegates resented it as an attack on organized labor. It was in the midst of the tumult that James A. Ryan, delegate from the Car- penters' District Council, moved that me secretary notify the cigarmakers' union to put stufT in the boxes that bore union labels that was fit for hu- man use." And this really settled the argument,. f(»r it sent the matter to a vote and stopped discussion. The motion, how- ever, was lost by a vote of 47 to 44. * * * M. R. Hoflfman, of the Hoffman Leaf Tobacco Company, Marietta, Pa., and Louis Leopold, of John Leopold & Son., leaf dealers, of New York, were among the week's visitors. TRADE MARKS REGISTERED.

TOBACCO TRADE IN DETROIT. Somewliat of a Lull, Compared with the Late Activity. Trade Notes. Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World," 53.> Catnpbell avenue. Detroit. Mich., Aug. ri.'J. The leaf t.bacco trade in this mar- ket has l)een j^enerally (luiet during till- past week. A few large sales have been made by different plants, but in them there has been nothing for deal- ers to grow enthusiastic over. The trade has been sporadic. The cigar l)usiness sIkhvs a continuing tirnmess, though business is hardly as brisk as it was some weeks ago. Hut this »low-up was expected. Had the de- mand continued in the same volume throughout the tag-end of the sum- mer and into the fall, local manufac- turers would have been at their wits' end to secure raw material. Internal dissensions in one local con- cern will i)robably result in its with- drawing from the market. One part- ner has already announced his inten- tion of drawing his funds from the capital stock and beginning all over again in another line. We are not iH-rmitted to make pub- lic any of the exact details of the winding-up (or. to speak more cor- rectly, the partial winding-up of the firm's business), but in all probability will be allowed to do so next week. It is possible, however, that one man will contiijue the business in his own name. The wholesale trade has remained about the same. Dealers have a ready market f )r their supplies and the dif- ferent concerns about town all rej)ort good sales. The retail tnarket is hold- ing up its end also. Prices have re- mained linn and tobacco men haven't foun.000 being subscribed, and $47,4.iO actually paid in. The shares of stock number 744.') and are widely scattered. .According to the last report, filed May i:i. 1 •)()<>. the total assets were $149,132.10. the liabilities $.50,358.98. The officers of the company at that time were: President. John A. Hoff- man; vice president. 1\ L. (J'Shaugh- r.essey; secretary and treasurer, Law- rence Verdon; directors, the above, and M. A. Crooks and W. L. Hunter, of Kalamazoo; J. C. Hobart. of Jack- son; George Kusscmane, Hammond, Ind. In June a deal was completed by Isaac and Samuel Goldberg, of De- troit, whereby the business of the com- pany was taken over and moved to Detroit. As Judge Knappen. of the Grand Rapids district of the United States Court, is on his vacation, the case will not be heard uiUil September. Tlu- name of Louis Peters & Co. has been added to the membership of tlu' Wholesalers' Association. D. 15. Parrish has opened a cigar store in a row of new stores on h'ort street, west, m-ar Morrell. .\n injunction has been served «)n the l'>ii- Tobacco Co.. in Sandwich. Out., prohibiting the odors which come from the factory. Work will be started in the course of a few weeks on the new cigar fac- tory which will be erected for the vSan Telmo Co., of Detroit, in Wyandotte. Tiorted. THE GARDEN OF PENNSYLVANIA. AMERICAN TOBACCO IN IRELAND. Lancaster County Tobacco Growers Feel Encouraged by the Welcome Rain. Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 23. The leaf trade shows no particular change, and trading continues only on a small scale. Goods bought now are mostly for local manufacturers, and business with the packing houses is still at a low ebb. Every one is convinced that the re- cent rains promise some good to the growing crops, although there are some who fear they came too late to be very helpful in producing any- thing like an average good yield. Top- ping is being done, and it is now rather late for this necessary operation. It will naturally be a short crop and will run largely in the line of filler tobacco. Of course, if it turns out to be of good quality there will be sale for it, as a good filler will always find a market. The cigar industry seem to be in a fair conditioti. and a few manufac- turers now report that orders are coming in encouragingly well. July, of course, was not a criterion, and this month can hardly be expected to be a record breaker. We must wait to see what September and the later months of the year will do. For beitig late in making their return 1 » the revenue office. Collector Her- shev has caused proceedings to be instituted against several cigar manu- facturers in this district. There is a ptn.ilty r.ingnig from a line of $100 to $5000, or a year in jail, to a fine of not less than $500 to $.5000. or three years in jail. No information, h(»wever. would be given out at the reveinie office here, and the action was brought in the United States Court at Philae arrest, each claiming $5000 damages. S. G. Dornbach & Son is the name of a new firm of cigar manufacturers, who have opened a factory in J. M. Urnbakcr's building, on Cherry street. Denver. The senior member of the firm h.'is been in the same business with Iv S. Dornbach for several years under the lirm name of Dornbach & Co.. which was dissolved by nnitual consent recently, the latter continuing the busine>s in his own name at the old place. An experiment in tobacco growing has been made at Capital Hill Park, ll.irrisburg. where a dozen stalks have been grown by H. E. Radcliffe. a clerk in the Auditor (icneral's Department. Mr. Radcliffe raises tobacco in Lan- caster county. The tobacco has at- tained a height and size of leaf which is prctbably unrivaled by any tobacco in the State, except that grown in tent>. The texture of the leaves is ex- cellent. Consul S. S. Knabenshue, of Belfast, replying to inquiries as to the importa- tion of cigar leaf tobacco, writes: "Leaf tobacco for cigars is not im- ported here, as there is no manufactur- er of cigars in Belfast. There is but one cigar manufactory in Ireland and that is at Dublin. The popular taste runs to pipes and cigarettes, not only in Ireland, but all over the United Kingdom, in which cigarmaking is con- fined practically to a few cities, viz.: London. Liverpool, Bristol, Notting- ham and Leicester. The cigar business in the British Isles has declined large- ly in late years, owing to the increas- ing taste for cigarette smoking. "The usual way of selling leaf to- bacco in the British Isles is through brokers in Liverpool and London. It is there sold by sample, which samples are drawn from each cask of tobacco in bond by independent officials. An exporter of leaf tobacco in the United States cat! not do better than to get into communicatit)n with brokers hand- ling it at Liverpo(d and London. "Tobacco firms here state that cigar leaf tobacco is not used in the manu- facture of cigarettes, they being made from bright Virginia leaf of various qualities. The bulk of the cigars sold in Belfast are of Havana and Key West make." THE CHRONICLES OF BEN ALL Retail Business Quieter at the Hub, and Short Vacations are in Order. Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. Boston, Mass., Aug. 23. Business has quieted down a little this week. Many members of the trade took advantage of the slackness and hastened away to the country to spend brief vacations. There is much gossip going on about the new Manila cigars that will shortly make their debut here, and many of our wholesalers are looking to get some good Philippine cigar accounts. It is expected that the United Cigar Stores Company will be about the only handlers here of these cigars for some time. David Brenner, formerly with L. Spear & Son, New York leaf dealers, has connected with Park B. Wile & Co. and will represent them on the road in his old territorj-. Mort. M. Frank (H. Bacharach & Co.) left Saturday night for New York. Mr. hVank sold considerable Florida wrai)i)er tobacco in this market last week. Henry Weiss ( E. G. Perez & Co.) was here several days and took a num- ber of large orders for his line of Porto Rican cigars. Emil Abrahams (American & West Indies Trading Company) is in town, .and reports doing a very satisfactory business. F. J. Greener ( F. X. Oberle & Co.) has returned from a two weeks' vaca- tion at St. Johns, Nova Scotia. Harry W. Koch, representing the American Cigar Company, is here tak- ing orders for their high grade line of clear Havana cigars. Milton Victor (S. Monday & Sons, New York) was here several days and did very well with Imperialettes, a package of 10 for 15 cents little cigars.

Will Rosenfeld. who represents D. M. Frank & Co. and W. E. Baker & Co., New York cigar manufacturers, has done a good deal of hard work during the past few months. He has the Marconi r)-cent cigar well placed with the trade, and the duplicate or- ders coming in are very encouraging. Mr. Rosenfeld is well known in the trade, having sold Union League cigars here for many years. Frank Murphy has been appointed assistant manager of the Mentor Com- pany and will in the future have charge of the sales department of the com- pany. This concern is at present ex- ceptionally busy; 2r),00() free samples of Ramly cigarettes were handed out in Lynn and Salem this week. The baseball pictures now being packed in each package have made a hit with the public, and the Mentor Company has been using for the past three months large photos of the various ball play- ers on the local teams for window use in Boston. The Red Socks are being featured in Lynn. The home team's photos are neatly arranged in the win- dow display and so on in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, etc. Manager Costcllo has just returned from a trip to Providence, R. T. A. L. Meyers (Melachrino & Co.) has returned from Newport, R. I. He reports their No. 4 cigarette the best seller there in high grade goods. Andy Chandler is now here looking after the interests of the Turco Ameri- can Tobacco Company. He has rent- ed desk room at 31 Central street, which will be his New England head- (juarters. Jack Warsaw, recently with the Khedivial Company, has been engaged to do specialty w<)rk on the Astron cigarette. Jack is a hustler and, out- side of looking a little like Jack Jtdin- son, he is all right, can deliver the goods in any company and is the "one best bet." J. Wilensky, retailer and cigar manu- facturer at 1057 Washington street, has discontinued manufacturing cigars. Mr. Wilensky will now confine himself to his retail business, having learned tliat the cigar manufacturing business is not what he had first supposed — "all velvet." M. Rodman, tobacconist, Houghton Square, W^est Lynn, was a buyer in this market on Thursday. The new list of sub-jobbers of the A. T. Company came out this week. Among the new ones were E. A. Os- good, 7 Howard street, and Zarling's cigar store, corner Green and Stamford streets. If this list keeps on growing as it has for the past few months all our retail dealers will be declared sub- jobbers by the A. T. Co. Tin Can Cassidy has just embarked in the gents' furnishing goods busi- ness on Beach street. Being very popular in this vicinity and having for friends many of our cigar and tobacco drummers, business ought to be up to expectations. Are you on? Ben Ali.

The cigar 1)iisiness continues to im- prove in the same proportions as noted in tlie previous week's items. A failure to report their returns in proper time has caused Revenue Col- lector Hershey to institute prosecu- tions against some of the cigar manu- facturers. A tobacco grower who has been ex- amining some of the crops contends tliat the rains were too late to do good and that the crop may not be one-half the size of that of last year. At many places the plants are small, and al- ready the farmers are becoming pessi- mistic and complain of their loss. "The I)(^ssibility of a short crop," said a leaf dealer, "will tend to advance prices, which naturally will be benelicial to dealers." All reports from all the deal- ers seem to indicate activity in the market for teh fall trade. Sund.iy. being '"the sign of the Vir- gin." and as she crossed the hill dry, and according to an old superstition, she would come back wet, caused many of the old tobacco farmers to look for the fultillment of the projjhecy. To their delight the Virgin did come over the hill wet, but the rain did not continue long enough to do the good needed. A trij) over the county among the cigar factories, where for some time the industry has been at a standstill .111(1 many manufacturers doing busi- ness far below a normal basis, showed that there is on expectation of better business, some of the most oi)limistics predicting a great boom in the trade, 'i'iie box manufacturers ,'ire again re- porting business as more nearly nor- mal. The New York factory at Windsor, which resumed operations in the Mar- tin factory, is daily increasijig its force. o The company is dickering for larger factory room, and the outcome may be that a large and convenient factory building will be erected by some one for their use. Myers & Adams are transferring their business from Red Lion to York, *. and affording an opportunity to the workmen to C(jme to York or secure Wfjrk at Red Lion. Max Kalisch. of the City Leaf To- bacco Company, notices a brighter prospect for the return of good busi- ness. At their warehouse some large shipments were made the past week, and they have several good sized or- ders to fdl. There is noticed quite an active cam- paign among representative cigar manufacturers, tobacco dealers and box manufacturers. The past week, daily could be seen some representative from Y(jrk, Windsor, Red Lion, Dallastown and other cigar centres, boarding the trains with their satchels fdled with samples of their best selling cigars, b(»und East, West and South in quest of orders. David Ziegler, of Freysville. and well known in this country as a cigar manu- facturer, died last week after a linger- ing illness, during which he was suffer- ing from cancer of the bowels. He was 48 years of age, and is survived by a widow and seven children. Milt(m U. Diehl, of Felton, is build- ing an additi(m U) his cigar factory there. T. E. Brooks & Co.. at Red Lion, have again taken on more cigarmakers. M. Hose, of the Dallas Cigar Co., at Dallastown, has returned with his family from a pleasure trip to Atlantic City.

Steven.^, counsel for Charles ^'oculn. a well-known cigar manufacturer of this city, have insti- tuted a suit against the city for dam- ages for injuries received in a motor- cycle accident several weeks ago. ■which is alleged to have resulted from negligence- on the part of the city in not keeping the streets in proper re- pair. Mr. Yocum's motorcycle was plunged into a deep hole, and his right €ye was so badly injured that he was compelled to have it removed. He sustained other injuries. The eye was removed at a Philadelphia hospital. A large quantity of tobacco packed in heavy cases was found lying in a corn held at Fritztown, this county, last week, it had been stolen from a fast freight train. The tobacco was turned over to the Reading Railway Company and an effort will be made to locate the owners. Charles S. Peiflfer, a well-known ci- gar manufacturer of Stouchsburg, was in Reading this week drumming up trade. He says that he is very busy and that the outlook is good. Cigar Manufacturer Samuel D. Di- bert and family have returned from Lake Hopatcong, where they had been spending the summer months. The Fleck Cigar Company, 138 Orange street, is doir.g a fine business. They have been busy all along and l)rosperity seems to be on the way for this bustling firm. The}' have or- ders in their factory from* all over the country east of the Missouri. Their latest shipment was to St. Paul, Minn. Their bot brand is the Cornello, a iine 10-cent smoke, which is meeting with approval wherever it is sold. Their other nickel brands. Royal Rob and Rose O'Cuba, are favorites with the local smokers. Hamilton Godfrey, the proprietor of the Farmers* Hotel, who has been stir- ring the smokers with his unique bar- gains in the weed, has sprung another good t)ne on them this week.

He also offered job lots of 5-cent ci- gars at greatly reduced cost. All of them went very well. M. M. Ruth, 800 Schuylkill avenue, fmds business is pretty good. He has a small factory, but it is busy all the time. The chief brands are two fine 5 centers. Diploma and Our Chief. The latter especially is a big favorite and is sold all over the county. Haller & Whitecraft, lOoO Green- wich street, find the times are not so bad. They are running along busily, though the business is nothing ex- traordinary. Their sale of Marcello this past week has been a record break- er, and every day exemplifies the fact that it is getting to be one of the lead- ing brar.ds of the city. Eline & Kutz, 741 North Tenth street, have had a number of big sales in their latest brand, the Soul Kiss. There is something in the name that stems to catch the smokers' fancy, and they all want to try one of the delecta- ble rolls. They have opened a num- ber of new agencies for the cigars during the past few weeks, and every one reports an encouraging demand for the goods. j. G. Hansen, <)G0 North Tenth .'treet. had a happy thought when he originated his idea of selling $1 worth of cigars in a porcelain jar, which af- ter the cigars have been smoked can be u>ed lo keep preserves, spices, cof- lee. tea or any other article of food in. Attractive labels are given with each jar. bearing the name of some such article, and it is said the good house- wives when they see these attractive receptacles withdraw all their objec- tions to hubby smoking. The name of the cigar is ecjually catchy. Havea- smile is the title, and everybody does both when they see the brand and 1 when they try the eigar. They are re- tailed to all the local cigar stores as well as being sent all over the State. They will be boomed extensively. II. J. l>orrelI. who runs an ui)-to- date cigar store at :IH North Sixth >treet. has put into practice now for some time a hai)i)y idea in the co- operative selling line. It consists of credit checks on all goods, which are sold at the same prices as at other stores. These checks are in turn re- deemable for a varied assortment of really fine articles. The store is rap- idly gaii.ing lots of trade through this ino\f. as the smokers want to buy where they have inducements of this kind offered. Gnidaer.

During the .session of iQOiS the Cana- dian Parliament passed a law proliibit- ing tlu' sale or gift of cigarettes to boys of sixteen years of age or under. Violation of the law makes the offender liable to fine of from $10 to $100. Lads of that age having cigarettes or tobac- co in their possession in ])ublic places are liable to penalty, and are com- pelled, under penalty of contempt of Court for refusal, to tell where such possessions were obtained. I'his law became effective on July JO. I90.S. Between that date and the close of the Canadian fiscal year on March 31, igog. the sale of cigarettes declined appreciably. The figures for the period directly involved are not given. Init the returns for the full fis- c:il year show a decline in cotisump- lion from api)roximately 400.000.000 cigarettes in 1908 to api)roximately .70,000.000 in 1909. The decrease is attributed to the restriction imposed on '.lie sale to boys. It is assumed that ;he law was even more effective than i> indicated by the figures, on the .ground that h;id there been no such lav the return^ would have slmwed an 'ucreaie of about lo.ooo.ooo instt-ad of a decrease of about 30.ooo.O(X). The -eneral conclusion would be that prior to the passage of the law Canadian lads of sixteen years of age and under were consumers of about 10 i)er cent, of the Canadian total.

ANNUAL TOBACCO INSPECTION. TOBACCO DEALERS' OUTING. ENDORSED "THE TRUST" fiurley Society Treatens to Get Even with Growers Who Will Not Pool Crops. Versailles, Ky., Aug. 26. At a meeting held here on Monday last, in the interest of the Burley To- bacco Society, pool speeches were made by A. L. Ferguson, Miss Alice Lloyd and Lister Witherspoon, chair- man of the Count}' Roard of Control. Until to-day no work had been done in Woodford, but signers this after- noon have already put a considerable acreage under contract. The list is headed by J. N. Camden, George Mc- Leod, Louis Marshall, Charles Sulli- van, Eugene Lillard, Lister Wither- spoon and other large growers whose influence in the county is great. About 5000 acres are in cultivation in this •county, and .the I'.urley Society lead- ers believe a large per cent, of it will be pooled by October 1. Mr. Ferguson was the principal speaker, and he announced for the lirst time how the Burley Society proposes to get even with the independent growers who remain outside the pool. Said he: "The grower of the Blue- grass shall not ride through to success on the back of the planter of the hills as he did last year. If the Bluegrass does not want this pool we will close it October 1 and join you in a race to market. We do not propose to allow the outsider to ride in on our backs this time. We have sent men to Mis- souri, West Virginia, Tennessee and Indiana to determine how much is grown in those districts. At home we have two books, one for those who pool and another, fittingly yellow in color, for those who do not. October 1 we will know exactly what per cent, of tobacco is signed, and unless 75 or 80 per cent, is in the pool we will de- clare it off. If the pool goes through I believe officials of the Burley Tobacco Sociel}' will go to the American To- bacco Company and say to them, 'Buy the pooled tobacco and we will sell at a reasonable price, but we must pro- tect those who have cast their fortunes with us, and if you buy tobacco out- side of the pool, what we have will cost you dear.' I venture the assertion that every pound of pooled tobacco will be sold and paid for before a sin- gle outsider can dispose of so much as a tub." ByRLEY SOCIETY ENTERS SUIT. Winchester, Ky., Aug. 26. The Burley Tobacco Society has filed suit against 14 independent to- bacco companies for damages for fail- ure to take the tobacco sold to them when the big sale of pooled tobacco was made in November, 1908, About 20,000 hogsheads were sold and of this 4400 were not taken and were sold at a reduced price. For this damages in the sum of $200,000 are asked, also $13,200 for outrage fees ai d other costs. Distinguished Visitors are Shown Over Connecticut Plantation. Simsbury, Conn., Aug. 25. Following his usual custom, Marcus L. Floyd invited a number of his friends to inspect his fields of shade- grown tobacco this year. After an elaborate lunch and several speeches on the appointed day, automobiles and mule teams were brought into service to convey the party of .30 or more through the fields under cloth, giving them an opportunity to become famil- iar with the process of picking and stringing the leaves for curing. Mr. Floyd, who is the manager of the Con- necticut Tobacco Corporation at South Granby, has 210 acres of tobacco under cloth, 120 acres being in one field. The lateness of the crop makes it lively work to house the crop be- fore the frost. Among those present were ex-Governor G. B. McLean, Dan- iel Bidwell. of the Hartford Times; Mr. Miller, of the Hartford Courant; Charles Soby, of Hartford, treasurer of the corporation; F. B. Griffin, man- ager of the Krohn tobacco corpora- tion, which raises over 100 acres in the open; W. L. Kinney, of Suffield, who raises about 70 acres in the open; Wil- liam Ackerly. Mr. Leschlike, Mr. Kitchen and son Joseph, and George Mitchelson, all of Tariffville; F. M. Colton and the Loomis brothers, of Granby. WHAT CONSTITUTES A STRIKE? Manager Said ''Hands Took a Day Off"; Hands Said They ''Struck." Elizabeth, N. J.. Aug. 25. "There's no strike in our factory; some of our employes just went out this afternoon for a good time." That is what the manager of the Hilson Company, cigar manufacturers, had to say to-day when asked about the fact that 100 men and 50 women walked out of the shop this morning. It was further stated that the depar- ture of the employes would not crip- ple the plant, and that all were ex- pected back to work to-morrow. The strikers are Italians. They say that their foreman, "Tony" Avello, left to-day, and that they struck in sym- pathy. From what can be learned there was no attempt made to arbitrate the strike. The cigarmakers took off their aprons, turned up their stools and left their unfinished work on the benches. They congregated in little groups upo" the grounds outside the factory and talked over the trouble in their own language. Nearly all the strikers came to this city from the Hilson plant in New York. Many of them still reside in New York, and left for their homes shortly after they quit. Wisconsin Leaf Men Have Reunion and General Good Time. Upon invitations sent out by the Janesville Leaf Tobacco Dealers, about sixty responded to take part in the annual outing and picnic held at the Crystal Springs resort on Saturday, August 21. Representatives of the trade were present from Edgerton, Stoughton, Madison, Evansville, Or- fordsville and Milton. The day was a delightful one for an outing of this character and boats left the city docks for the picnic grounds at 8.:}0 and again at 11 o'clock, bringing those who arrived by trains. The Committee of Arrangements, in the hands of T. E. Welch, E. Haskins and John Soulman, thoughtfully had provided everything needed in the line of athletic sports, games, etc., while the provision larder was supplied with all the necessaries for a magnificent picnic dinner, which was cooked on the grounds under the direction of George McKey. When the dinner call was sounded there was a hungry crowd that filled the long tables load- ed with a most appetizing meal. A monster roast of beef, green corn and the customary vegetables, topped off with watermelon and ice cream, helped to make up a most satisfying bill of fare. Then a baseball game was organized and with quoits and card games, the afternoon was soon passed. Before adjourning it was voted to make the tobacco men's picnic an annual affair and t(j include members of the trade of the entire State. It was also suggested that an earlier date be fixed next year at a time when a larger number could be present. E. E. Burdick, a photogra- pher, was on the grounds, and a group picture of those who took part in the festivities of the day was taken, which is here reproduced. The following is a list of those present: Sanford Soverhill, Samuel Grundy, VV. L. Pelton, G. H. Rumrill, Ed Has- kins. Henry Scott, C. A. Hoen, F. G. Borden, Nick Casey, W. S. Jones, E. M.

Several orders for Irish tobacco have from America, said a speaker at an All-Ireland industrial conference in Belfast, and in Alabama a company has been formed for pushing the sale of Irish tobacco. Tobacco Growers In Meeting at Danville Suggest that Farmers Sell Direct to American Tobacco Co. Perhaps the first time since the To- bacco Trust was organized, a "band'* of tobacco growers have indorsed the American Tobacco Company. Such action was taken during an enthusias- tic meeting of the Mutual Protective Association of the British Tobacco Growers of Virginia and North Caro- lina, held in Danville, Va. It was the annual session of the association, and the Bee says it was featured by en- thusiasm and a most cheerful and op- timistic outlook upon the part of the members. Mr. C. S. Adams, of Charlotte coun- ty, vice president of the association, and one of the leaders in the move- ment to unite the farmers for their protection in the tobacco trade, was the principal speaker and his address gave official announcement that prac- tically all. in fact, 90 per cent, of the 1008 crop, which had been turned over to the association had been sold at good prices to the American Tobacco Company. There remains on hand un- sold only about 90 hogsheads. Of the 1907 crop 28 hogsheads remain. The amount of tobacco disposed of to the American Tobacco Company is about 2,000.000 pounds. Mr. Adams' speech outlined a policy of friendshij) and good faith with the .American Tobacco Company, which in the past has been arraigned and criti- cised at practically every gathering of the organization. "It was not the purpose or idea of the association," he said, "to destroy the American Tobacco Company's bus- iness, but on the contrary to build it up. The farmers recognize this cor- poration as the greatest and best meth- od of handling tobacco that has ever been in existence, and that the more business the A. T. Co. does the better it is for the tobacco grower. The far- mers in their dealings have been met with fairness and straightforward busi- ness methods by the American Tobac- co Company, and every demand has been granted." He declared that the farmer should deal directly with the American Tobac- co Company, and if they stuck togeth- er they could force the American To- bacco Company to give them fair and equitable prices for their product. A committee of three was appointed to confer with the Farmers' Union to secure their co-operation in the work. CUTTING TOBACCO IN GEORGIA. Jesup, Ga., Aug. 27. The first crop of tobacco ever grown on a marketable scale has just been gathered in Wayne county. D. B. Brand, a colored farmer from South Carolina, put in a crop of tobacco on a farm belonging to Ben Milikin. and it has made an excellent yield. A party of farmers will join together and hire an expert and run about ten barns ia curing tobacco next season. E. A. Calves & Co.^^c IMPORTERS of Havana, 123 North Third street PHILADELPHIA E. A.

At last week's meetinj^ of the Cij^jar- makers' Union only $:.M» was paid out in sick benehts. which amount is de- ast few week>. Owing to the con- tinued hot weather, the coming and j^oing of the >mokers on their vacation trips, the sales of cigars and chewing tobacco have been as light as it usually is during the vacation months. With the approach of fall, however, there is hope that trade will pick up and all the factories will run with something like their old-time business. Haller & Whitecroft, 1050 Green wich street, report that business is about as usual. They have been manu- facturing a good many of their Mar- cellcs this past week, owing to an in- creased demand for the popular brand from the western part of the State. Lengel & Ernst, li;}^^ North Third street, find many new markets for their choice Wall Street Club, a ten- center. This is making a big hit in the northern part of the State, and several large shipments have been made to that section. Legal, their leading five- cent brand, is doing a big business in local stores, and they expect to reach their high water mark by the end of the month if the demand keeps up. L. I. Krug. 10 North Ninth street, with his No. 8, is kept hustling. This is a good five-cent smoke which the local lovers of the weed like in par- ticular, and they keep him on the job making them. V. Wilk, 100 West Oley street, had an unusual run on his "Germania" during the past week. Several new towns in the western i)art of the State sent in for medium lots, and if they arc like the other places they will keep up their orders. He intends improv- ing his shop soon and renovating it throughout. J. M. Wentzel, i\'M Pear street, con- tinues to sell big lots of his Macca- bee. I^vidently the members of this Order rally to the support of their namesake in the smoking line, as the demands for it have been very grati- fying. If the sale continues he will have to take on several additional hands. W. W. Stewart & Sons. (518 North Eighth street, made a large shipment to Ohio during the week. They re- I)ort a steady demand for their John Hay, one of the best ten-cent perfec- tos on the market, and there have been several big lots shipped to Phila- delphia. Eli Perkins is the favorite among the smokers hereabouts, and they have kept the big factory hustling to supply them. Hamilton Godfrey, the cigar wiz- ; ard proprietor of the Farmers' Hotel, | continues to have his record-breaking bargains in cigars. The local smokers are kept busy figuring out how he can sell so many good brands so cheap, but they haven't discovered the ; answer yet. If they did. Hamilton would have to go out of the business. , Born Bros., 116 North Ninth street, have one of the liveliest factories in town. There is nothing dead about it, and the way they are getting rid of La Rosa, their head five-cent brand, is a wonder to every other factory. Their chief market just now is in the West. I Gnidaer. CIGARS COME IN FREE. Philippine Cigars Were in Bond Before New Law Was Signed. Washington. Aug. ;i8. Nearly 1,00(),0()() Philippine cigars have been admitted to this country under the free i)rovisions of the Payne Tariff law. Practically all of these came in before the new law became operative, on August «>, but had been held "in bond" in warehouses in an- ticipation of the passage of the act. Six hundred thousand of the cigars were admitted at New ^■ork. 190,000 at San Francisco and 98.000 at Seattle. Importers of Philippine cigars have entered protests against the decision ! rendered by Acting Secretary of the Treasury Reynolds, that cigars from the Philippine Islands transhipped at! Hong Kong or other foreign ports, ■ must pay the regular duty levied by the general tariff on cigars. One of the contentions made was that there were no direct steamship lines between Ma- nila and the United States, but the Collector at San Francisco has report- ed to the Department that there arc two lines of steamers making trips di- rect between Pacific coast ports and Manila. The Payne law stipulates that products of the islands, in order to get the benefit of the free trade provisions, must be shipped direct from the coun- try of origin to the port of destina- I tion, or, if shipped through territory [ contiguous to the United States the | shipment must be "in bond." — Plans arc under way to enlarge the Swartz cigar factory, at Bohemia, to the capacity of a thousand addi- tional hands, and Bohcmia-on-the- Plains promises to become one of Long Island's foremost manufacturing villages. . la^kiml Manufacturers of T.ntmiii.nn!HMf>' 312-314-316 BROADWAY, N EW YORK Trays, Match Safes, Cigar Cases, etc. A Complete Line of Articles Specially Suited for Cigar Manufacturers Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers A Suction Table that Will Reduce the Cost of Your Production Liberman Mfg.

Immigration officers on the pier gazed in amazement at the modestly gowned woman for a time, then one passenger, coming on the gar.g-plank, said: "She smoked cigarettes all the way over, and the officers were much annoyed by the presence of the gray- haired woman in the men's smoking room. Nearly every day she picked out the most comfortal)le chair and settled back for a good smoke." Immigratitju officers led Miss Hill away from the railing and took her into the ship's cabin, where she was searched. Four packages of Turkish cigarettes were found in her clothing. "Why are you taking my cigar- ettes?" she asked. "We do not conside: it proper for women to go about in public smoking cigarettes," Miss Hill was told. "That is no reason," Miss Hill an- swered. '"I live in Southampton, Eng- land, and for years I have traveled about the Continent. I smoked cigar- ettes in hotels you might have diffi- culty in entering. In no place have I met with impertinence or insult be- <:au.se of my smoking. I think Amer- ica is crude and uncultured in not rec- ognizing a woman's right to smoke if she pleases." The immigration officers ordered Miss Hill taken to Ellis Island until some inquiry be made concerning her. Miss Hill, outside from the fact that she smoked cigarettes during her trip over, conducted herself with absolute propriety. She would pass anywhere for an PZnglish woman of refinement and culture.

Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 30. .\ <|uiet week has prevailed in the leaf tobacco market for the past week, but packers are now beginning to busy themselves in sampling of the J 908 packages. In fact, the work has alreadj' made some progress. Reports so far are rather satisfactory, and no unusual percentage of damage has been discovered. In some packings, there has been practically none found. The good effect of the rains of the last week has now almost died out and the farmers are again praying for more rain, but the indications at this writ- ing are anything but favorable. If it was not for the cooler night during which more or less dew is gathered in the growing plants they would now be well nigh parched. From Mount Joy comes the report that with few exceptions the corn and tobacco fields north and west of town give very little promise of more than half a crop, owing to the dry weather. .\cres of tobacco going to seed, while on an adjoining farm one may see a lield covered with plants not larger than a man's hand. Some farmers will plow down their tobacco, claiming that with the most favorable weather con- ditions their crop would not yield enough marketable tobacco to pay for the handling. Tobacco cutting has been commenc- ed in some sections, but these crops are not of very large acreage, and they had had the best of cultivation to bring them to maturity early. The cigar industry seems to be im- l^roving, and the indications are that the output during the month of August will make a favorable comparison. Re- ports from the cigar towns about the county all indicate a better trade and a larger number of the factories arc again working on full time. The factory of C. Ruppin. at Akron, has rcsuined operations on full time. NKW COMKT. IH.447. For cigars. eiKiirPttes, cherootK and stogi«'s. Kegistered .August 'I'A. 1(M)!>, at 9 A. M.. I).v ('. U.

FROM Ihe APPLE-BLOSSOM STATE Approach of Cooler Weather Slackens Trade In Detroit. Tobacco Men In- terested in Possible Effect of Prohibition Propaganda. Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World," 53.5 Campbell avenue, Detroit, -Mich.. Aug. 30. Detroit cigar and tobacco men .ire beginning to feel the effects of the approaching cooler weather. Al- though actual trading rcmain.s about the same as last week, orders for fu- ture delivery are hardly as heavy. Fall and .spring arc always slack periods in this district, so the dull prospects do not come as a surprise. The let- up will give manufacturers, whole- salers and retailers a chance to re- plenish low stocks as well as to make such repairs and additions to their plants as are necessary. By-the-way, it is understood a number of local men will let contracts for improve- ments as soon as the time can be spared. The wholesale trade shows, if any- thing, an improvement over the pre- vious week. No reason can be as- signed for the picking-up unless it be just a temporary one. Therefore, be- cause of the lateness of the season, dealers arc not attaching any im- portance to it. The retail trade is also good, dealers being inclined to view the coming fall with a less pessimis- tic attitude than has been their wont in some seasons past. The one thing that is attracting the attention of manufacturers now is the activity shown by the "dry" forces in certain parts of the State. The Pro- hibitionists ii sist they will have a much larger following to their stand- ard next spring than they have ever had before, and that in two j'cars at most the entire State will be "dry." How, i)etroit or the more thickly set- tled districts will ever elect Prohibi- tion is rather hard to be understood. However, the agitators declare this, as well as the other large cities, will turn to "the standard." The putting of hundreds of saloons out of business and the resultant effect on the cigar trade can be easily understood. Nelson A. Roberts, of the La Palla Cigar Co., has withdrawn from the active inanagement of the company, and will hereafter conduct a down- town cafe known as The Pullman. He will carry a full line of cigars. A Muskegon man recently broke an arm, but won 40 cigars, when he punched a machine so hard as to force it to its highest notch. Fine cigars when a man will break his arm for them. Fred Foote, a Lansing cigarmaker, pleaded not guilty to using improper language on the street, when ar- raigned in justice Court recently. He was released on $;{00 bail. His trial will be held this week. Efforts of the Detroit Wholesalers' Association to obtain a fast and re- liable freight service between New York and Detroit have been accom- plished through the courtesy and co- operation of the D., L. & W. Railroad. Shipments delivered at New York, be- fore 4.30 P. M., at Pier 13. Pier 41 and Pier 68, New York, and Pier 26,: East River, as well as at the L. & W. terminal, will be taken on the Lacka- wanna freight special, inaugurating a new fast freight service for high-class traffic from New York to Buffalo. The verdict of a Toronto justice permittii.g restaurant and hotel keep- ers to sell cigars, on Sunday to their heart's content, is of interest to De- troit manufacturers. Heretofore the Toronto police have warned mer- chants from disposing of cigars on the Sabbath. As everyone knows, Sun- day is a day of rest in Canada. Some people would even restrain the street cars from running. Therefore, when Albert Williams, who operates sev- eral restaurants, was arraigned in Po- lice Court, charged with a violation of the Lord's Day act, in selling a cigar on the Sabbath, he was discharged because the Court didn't think there was any more harm in selling a cigar than in selling a meal, there was re- joicing in the "City of Churches." Ii> speaking of the case later an inspector said that, as far as he was concerned, he would not again attempt to prose- cute a hotel or restaurant keeper for selling cigars on Sunday. Tiorted.

In answer to a New York inquiry, Consul-General Herman R. Dietrich. of Ciuayacjuil. furnishes the following information concerning the outlook for .\merican cigar leaf tobacco in l^cuador: l{cuador is a tobacco-raisirg coun- try, and the local production is more than sufticient to supply the tlemand, a small quantity of leaf, cigars, and ci- garettes being exported each year to the neighboring republics. This indus- try is also protected by high import duties, the duty on leaf being $1 gold l)er kilo d.:l pounds), payable on the gross weight, and on manufactured tobacco $4 gold per kilo on net weight. The result is that no leaf and very little manufactured tobacco are being imported. The tobacco grown in the Province of Hsmeraldas is of line qual- ity and the cigars made from it are considered by many to be equal to the imported cigars. \\'hile it will be difficult to interest ai y of the merchants in this vicinity in the importation of cigar leaf tobac- co, the names of some of the import and export commission houses are transmitted, so that exporters in the United vStatt's may communicate with them direct. ^ ■^ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I ♦ ♦ ♦■ t jj^!i r . ■ '*'' "^L- ^^^^P^ ^ &'XiTI \ /f^^^^SK TSr 'Wm^ • Wj l^r^f b^nfl -^ i^'^^c^' ^-^ Hfik ^1 ^^^^K//"^ '>o V« j^U t t ♦ ♦ 4 ♦ ♦ 4 ♦ t H.

UNION MEN AND UNION GOODS. Chicago Jobber Suggests Plan to "Form a More Perfect Urion." Chicago, Sept. 4. Editor The Tobacco World. 1 read with much interest the con- troversy in the Central Labor Union meeting as given in your local news in the issue of August 25. . "Should union men smoke union- made cigars, if the}- smoke at all?" In effect, the contention made in defense of union men not smoking union-made cigars is that the union cigars are not tit to smoke, and that the union cigarmakcrs are to blame. Let's see. Unfortunately, union- made cigars are mostly sold to the saloon trade; the average saloon keep- er puts a maximum price on the cigars he buys; he practically forces the job- ber to handle the lowest grade of ci- gars possible, and at that the jobber gets barely a living profit out of '"union-made goods.'' This is also the reason why jobbers as a rule do not push union-made cigars. The Cigarmakers' International Union has tried for many years to safeguard the quality of their handi- craft by setting a minimum price at which "union-made cigars'' can be sold. Now then, if every member of a la- bor or trades union throughout the country would insist on getting a "union-made cigar" wherever he may buy a cigar and refuse to take any other kind, the trade in general would soon fall in line and handle union- made goods. The "cigar" and "drug" stores would naturally handle the bet- ter grades only. The Cigarmakers' Union alone can- not change the drift of trade. It needs the help and support of every loyal member of all trade and labor unions to force the retail trade to handle "union-made cigars" that will com- pare favorably with any cigar on the market. I respectfully submit these observa- tions for publication, and sincerely hope that all union men will think it over. F. C, Leusch, Cigar Broker. Indiana Cigarmaliers Say the Business is Slipping Away. liluffton. Ind., Sept. 4. To prevent the cigar making indus- try being wiped out of Indiana entire- ly, Logansport Union, No. 215, has sent a call to all other unions ia the State asking for a state meeting to consider the state of business and pos- sibly to form a league for increasing the sale of home made cigars by ad- vertising and in other ways. It is suggested in the circular that the delegates to the State convention of labor at South Bend be sent prepar- ed to form some kind of an offensive alliance of unions, such as the Blue Label league. It is pointed out that aimougli Indiana is sixth in population, there are but 2,400 cigar makers em- ployed in the State, about half Of which are union and the other half non-union. Thousands of dollars worth of cigars are imported intt> the State each year and with the encouragement of home industries by a league it is believed that the number of cigarmakers could be doubled in a year. In proportion to the population it is declared Indiana- polis should have 1.200 cigarmakers, Logansport about 200. Marion, 200 and Fort Wayne, 500, whereas they have about one-tenth of that. Marion, a city of 20,000. has but one man working at the trade. PLANTED 45-YEAR OLD SEED. Tobacco Raisers Kindle Fires to Protect the Growing Crops. Winsted, Conn., Sept. 3. The mercury throughout the Litch- field Hills registered 35 degrees above zero on Tuesday morning. There w'ere frosts in the valleys and near low streams, but not sufficiently heavy, it is believed to have not done any great damage to crops. In the tobacco-raising belts in the Farmington and Connecticut River valleys, unusual sights were witnessed during the following night, niany tires being kindled about the tobacco fields to protect the growing tobacco from possible frosts. Gangs of men who are employed in harvesting tobacco, worked all night feeding the flames and keeping them from spreading. Concord, N. H., Sept. 3. A heavy frost caused considerable damage to crops in the eastern, north- ern and western sections of New Hampshire Monday night. The ther- mometer registered 36.3 degrees in this city next morning. HOTELS MAY SELL CIGARS. Tobacco Seed Gathered in 1864 Gives Promise of Good Yield in 1909. Of interest to tobacco growers are the IOC plants of the John Williams variety of tobacco now coming to ma- turity and grown by Edgar Farnham from seed raised in i86^ by President Samuel E. Elmore, of the Connecticut River Banking Company, and given by him to Mr. Farnham. The seed had lain in a jar hidden from view in a closet for forty-five years. This is the old-fashioned John Wil- liams variety grown during Civil War times. The leaves set thin on the stalks, no suckors on the bottom. Mr. Farnham will save the seed of this product of 1864 tobacco. The tobac- co crop which last July bade fare to be aluKJst a failure has ripened, owing to the rain about the first week in August, to be one of the cleanest and soundest crops ever raised. If the crop now goes through the curing without sweat the farmers in the Con- necticut Valley ought to be rewarded for their labor in substantial prices.

Toronto Hotels May Lawfully Supply Needs of Smokers on Sunday. Toronto, Ont., Sept. 3. The decision which Colonel Denison handed out recently regarding the sale tn cigars on Sunday was strengthened when his worship dismissed the charge t)f breach of the Lord's Day Act which has been standing against W. A. Martin, the proprietor of a Parliament street hotel. Martin sold a cigar to a man who came in to buy one. The pro- secution held that he could only sell to a guest, but the magistrate agreed with the contention of the defence that the sale of cigars is part of the regu- lar business of a hotelkeeper. As this is the case, the law allows hotel keep- ers to sell cigars on Sunday to any- body who desires to buy them. EMPLOYMENT FOR IDLE DAYS. Tennessee Yarn Co. Encourages Hands to Plant Tobacco. Jonesboro, Tenn., Sept. i. The management of the Jonesboro larn Mills have recently built a large tobacco barn at their mills below town. The barn is 80x28 feet and will be used for curing tobacco. The management of the mills seeing the necessity of having some employ- ment for the employes when work was short around the mills, caused them to begin the raising of tobacco and other products. This year they have out about 6 acres of tobacco; 2 acres of beans and 3 acres of potatoes, all of which are very promising. The acre- age will be increased next year. TO DEFEND THE QUEEN'S HERB.

SEPTEMBER 8. 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS The ct)n(liti«)ns in the leaf trade are about normal; that is, if judged by re- cent records. There has been no ma- terial change, and the volume of trad- ing has been fair, upon the whole, for this time of the year, with indications rather favorable for early and increas- ing activity. Visitors in the local mar- ket have been few during the past week, but salesmen now on the road report some encouraging prospects for the near future. The month of Sep- tember has started ofif well enough so far, and it should not be really difti- cult to eclipse the records of the cor- responding month of last year. 41 * V Statements made several days ago, showing the unprecedented increase in the volume of importation through this port, are amply sustained by the com- pleted returns of the business of the Custom House for the month of Au- gust. These not only show a doubling of the business of August. 1908, but the present week will eclipse all rec- ords of entries in the history of this port. Merchandise entered through the Custom House last Monday alone will eventually pay into the United States Treasury $1,000,000 in duties, though, of course, a large amount <»f this is bonded, and the actual payment will thus be deferred. Whatever doubts may have existed as to this reflecting (|uickened business atul industrial conditions are set at rest by the figures now made public. These show that c<»mmodities are be- ing imported in vastly increased vol- ume that could not jxissibly be affect- ed by the changed tarifT. (loatskins, for instance, which were on the free list, and the importation of which means greater manufacturing activity in Philadelphia, came in during August of this year to the extent of fully two and a half times the amount of the August, 1908. importation. During the month (»f August there was brought to this port wrapper to- bacco, the duty on which amounted to $212,736, while during the month of August of last year the duty on a sim- ilar class of goods imported during that month amoimted to only $70,683. Leaf tobacco other than wrapper im- ported during August amounted in customs duty to $160,477, while during 12 the corresponding month of last year it amounted to only $87,193. * * * riie cigar manufacturers of this city are very busy, and. in fact, some diffi- culty is being experienced by some in securing as many competent workmen as they could use advantageously. Some time ago an organization was formed which had for one of its spe- cial purposes and objects the effectual avoidance of one manufacturer taking the hands of another manufacturer; but it appears that the rules have not been fully lived up to. and some dis- cord has arisen, which makes it very troublesome, if it does not actually result in a final disruption. . Some of the factories are now en- gaged in working overtime, in the hope of getting out promptly. * * ♦ Retail dealers are not boasting of very large business lately, although this month shows them some gains. 1 iiore are very few changes in the re- tail trade lately. The latest bit of in- teresting new,s is that the store for- merly operated under the name of S. Ojserkes & Co., at Ninth and Chestnut streets, and later taken over by the United Cigar Stores Company, has been discontiiuied. Of course, the com- pany recently added an additional store to its list by taking the store formerly c(»nducted by M. J. Dalton Co., at Thirteenth and Arch streets. * * * .\t the new store of (jcorge Zorn & Co., at 1235 Market street, Man- ager Rosenberg has placed in stock a line of the "Optimo" clear Havana ci- gars made by .\. Santaella & Co., and which are already attracting con- siderable attention. « « 4c M. J. Tvcwis, a well-known cigar job- ber (»f Wilkes- Barre, was a visitor in this city this week. Mr. Lewis will spend a week among the manufac- turers in Pennsylvania. * ♦ ♦ H. S. Springer, the popular resprc- sentative of the lithographic house of (leorge Schlegel, New York, has re- cently returned to this city after a trip of several weeks' duration in the West. He reports that he found the trade conditions in the territory he covered very satisfactory, and that he is look- ing for an era of excellent business. C01.0M.4L I'KIUK. IK..501.

The branch factory is already in operation while prepara- tions for the erection of a new building are being pushed. Tt is thc^ught the new structure will be completed before snow flies. Fred Foote, the Lansing cigarmakcr charged with indecent language, was discharged from custody recently, the woman who had made the complaint against him refusing to push it. .\ld. Charles Stuith, of Lansing, and who runs a cigar store, got in wrong with some of his business neighbors lecently when he had on exhibition in his cigar window a young man who was in a hynotic trance. One protestor declared the exhibition was most de- moralizing and he asked the chief of police for a warrant for Smith's ar- rest. It was refused.

It is this clause that is causing all Ann Arbor (the university town) to grin. Probably no town in the State Would be affected by enforcing this law as would Ann Arbor. To understand this it is necessary to say that fully twf)-thirds of the students who enter the university are under 21 years of age. Thus it looks as though, if the Itw is to be enforced in this town, the jus- tice courts will have to be increased in number, the police force strengthened and the jail rebuilt to several times its prsent capacity. "The treasury department,'" says a local wholesaler, "has made a decision which is of particular interest to to- bacco manufacturers in Detroit as else- where. These manufacturers use rum in manufacturing, and the department's ruling is that rum denatured by mix- ing nicotine with it is exempt from revenue tax the same as common de- natured alcohol. If a tobacco manu- facturer can get rum free of tax by denaturing it with nict)tine, why can- not a manufacturer of perfumery, for instance, also get spirits free of tax by denaturing it with oil of roses. It if manufacturers in different lines care sure does make a big saving all around to follow it up. Largely because of the burning of the Bagley tobacco factory the receipts for tobacco licenses for August, at the 14 internal revenue office, were less than for August of last year. The total this year shows $63,977.71 on cigars, and $103,948.54 on tobacco. Last year $107,563.50 was paid on cigars during August and $107,117.35 on tobacco. The Union News cigar store in Flint was robbed recently for the third time in four months. Tiorted. THE NEW COMMISSIONER. New Head of Internal Revenue Bureau the Youngest Ever Appointed. Washington, D. C, Aug. 31. Royal E. Rabell. for the past three years postmaster at Richmond, Va., tri-morrow will become Commissioner of Internal Revenue, succeeding John Ci. Capers, who retires to take up the practice of law. Mr. Cabell is only 32 years old. and is the youngest man ever appointed to the v^ommissioner's chair. He is a graduate of Princeton, and was admitted to the Bar in 1901. BANS TOBACCO-SPOILS CHARITY. Disabled Clergymen Refuse to Forego the Soothing Weed. Because the John C. Mercer Home for Disabled Clergymen of the Presby- terian Faith, at .\mbler. Pa., establish- ed twenty-one years ago in compliance with the provisions of the will of Ann Jane Mercer, has not been a success, chiefly because of a proviso that no clergyman who used tobacco could en- ter, the courts will have to decide whether the property shall revert to the heirs of the deceased or the money arising from its sale be applied to the relief of disabled preachers throughout the country. The proviso putting a ban on tobacco using clergymen was surprising in the light of the fact that the bulk of the ivicrcer fortune was made in the to- bacco raising. Though the board of managers in charge made every effort to advertise the benefits of the home and invited those entitled to the privileges to be- come inmates only fifteen ministers have entered since the home was opened. i'or the last two years only one dis- jibled preacher, the Rev. W. J. Jones, has been there. Some months ago the board of managers decided that the ex' penses of maintaining the home for one man were too great and closed the institution. The Rev. Mr. Jones is now living at the Hotel Windom in Ambler, his expenses being paid by the board, of which President C. Ferguson is president and Peter Boyd, an attorney, is secretary.

There is still no material change in the conditions of the local leaf tobacco market, although sampling is now pro- gressing nicely, and ere long it may be expected there will begin a move- ment of the 1908 goods, for the supply of older goods is so generally depleted that attention must necessarily be soon turned to the newer goods.

While in former years the condition •of the crop in many States on Septem- ber 1 has been (pioted in the 90's and in some cases very close to the round 100 per cent., this year Illinois and Ver- mont alone reach the 91 per cent, mark, and in neither of these States is the tobacco crop a very important fac- tor. In Connecticut the percentage is re- duced from 99 in 1908 to 84 in 1909. In New York, where the condition was reported at 90 on September i, 1908, this year it is given as 81 on Sep- tember I. In Pennsylvania the decrease noted is so startling as to almost raise a question of the truth of the Depart- ment's figures. The conditi(m percen- tage given for September i, 1908 was •89; for August 1, 1909, it was 83; and on September i, 1909, it is given as 70, while the lo-year average for the State is 91. Maryland's report is also low, 75 per cent., while one year ago it was 85, with a lo-year average of 84. Virginia nearly holds her own with 85 per cent., w- - .ast year it was 90, with a lo-year average of 84. North Carolina is qut. 1. .\iiK. 1. Sept. Year 11H«». UMUt. lOOS. Aver.

Only one provision of the new tarm law regarding tobacco has as yet taken effect. It permits the handling of un- stcmmed tobacco in the natural leaf. Heretofore there was a fine for the sale of a hand of the leaf. The other pro- visions of the act which relate to the tax on tobacco and snuff w'ill be en- forced the first of July, 1910, the be- ginning of the next fiscal year of the government. According to a ruling received at the local office of the Ninth internal reve- nue district the following will go into effect next year: Tax on manufactured tobacco and snuff, increased from 6 to 8 cents per pound. Packages for manufactured tobacco and snuff to be V2, Va, i, i!4. ^V^, W\> 2, 2,14, 2^', ^)4. 3,3J4,3K'.3-M,4,.6, 7, 8, 10, 12. 14 and 160ZS.. also snuff in blad- ^.ers and in jars containing not exceed- ing 20 pounds, and cavendish, plug and twist in wooden packages not exceed- ing 200 pounds net weight. Tax on little cigars weighing not more than three pounds per looo in- creased from 54 cents to 75 cents per 1000. Tax on little cigarettes weighing not more than three pounds per looo in- creased from 54 cents and $1.08 to one rate of $1.25 per 1000. Tax on cigarettes weighing more than three pounds per 1000 increased from $3 to $3.60 per 1000. Packages for 5 and 10 cigars weigh- ing more than tnree pounds per lOOO and packages containing 5, 8 and 15 little cigars, weighing not more than three pounds per 1000, and cigarettes in addition to those now in use are authorized. UNDER MASSACHUSETTS LAW An Increased Output of Over 13,000,- 000 in Eight Months. Tampa, Sept. 6. The total shipment of cigars from xampa since January i is recorded at 130.010,000, an increase over shipments for the same period in 1908 o^ 13,010,- 000. This is an average of 4,250,000 ci- gars per week. The amount of tobacco withdrawn for use by the cigar factories of Tampa last week consisted (^f 842 bales of un- stemmed tobacco and 228 bales of stemmed. The imports for the same period were 608 bales of unstemmed and 191 b'ales of stemmed tobacco. Trade conditions were never better and every indication points to a great- er production in Tampa for the re- mainder of the year. All factories are working a full fi)rce full time, and new factories are being established which will get into the record-breaking busi- ness. JOHN A STAPLETON Cigarettes May be Sold to a Minor For an Adult. Athol, Mass., Sept. 9. That a tobacco dealer has the right to sell cigarettes to a minor, if that party buys them for an adult, was the decision of Judge Frederick J. Dunn, of First District Court, when Henri Plotkin was discharged on a charge of selling cigarettes to a lad under 18 years old. Plotkin, who conducts a store in the South street district, inhabited mostly by foreigners, was brought into Court on a charge of selling a box of cigar- ettes to Joseph Glane, aged 13 years. When i lotkin entered a plea of not guilty the Court decided to make a test case, reserving the decision. Plotkin produced witnesses who tes- tified that Glane did not smoke the cigarettes, but bought them for an older member of the family. In giving his decision Judge Dunn said: "If it can be proven that cigar- ettes are bought by a minor for an adult the dealer is not liable." Veteran Milwaukee Tobacco Man Dies After a Long Illness. Milwaukee, W'is., Sept. 9. John A. Stapleton. 70. a veteran of the tobacco business in Milwaukee and secretary and treasurer of the Staple- ton Tobacc(j Company, 134 Reed, street, died at a sanatorium Sunday night after an illness of four months. Mr. Stapleton was a native of Can- ada and settled in Milwaukee in 1862. For some years he was engaged in selling leaf tobacco on the road and then established the Stapleton T(jbacco Company thirty years ago, with which he retained his connection until his death. Mr. Stapleton was twice married and leaves four children, F. A. Stapleton, president of the tobacco company; Crescent, Mabel and Orville Stapleton, all of Milwaukee. NEW USE FOR AN AUTO. Towed Big Tobacco Frame to the Fields at a Fast Clip. S. A. Foster is ever on the watch to show how the Rambler can make itself useful other than as an agent of pleas- ure. A tobacco grower in East Wind- sor had in Hartford one of the new tobacco frames lor the conveyance of tobacco from the field to a curing barn a wagon with two sets of wheels with the frame connecting them; no reach to join the axles; entrance for tlie man hanging the laths from the side of the wag(m. Well, the grower happened to tell Brother Foster that he had two hours' navigation before him to take the wagon to the farm, and the Ram- bler man offered to tow the affair in less than half that period. He hitched E. A. Calves & Co. Havana 123 North Third street ^ PHILADELPHIA IMPORTERS of THE TOBACCO WORLD his trusty Rambler to the tobacco wag- on and started. All the way from Arcii street to the journey's end he had an appreciative ^gallery." as a golf fiend would say. The spectacle of a motor •car towing a tobacco frame along Main street, over the big bridge and up through East Hartford and Seting with British traders in England, but a compromise was effected between the trust and the British traders. The Anglo-American Tobacco Trust was then organized, and established a fac- tory in Shanghai. China, and began to invade the Far East. "Fortunately for the Japanese, the Russo-Japanese war broke out at that time and Kt)rea and Manchuria were occupied by the Japanese army. The Japanese, numbering over a million, were stationed in these districts, so that foreign tobacco has no scope to extend their market there. Seizing the opportunity, an enormous amount of Japanese tobacco was exported to those regi(jns. As soon as peace was announced and the open door and equal opportunity policy was declared, foreign tobacco again made its appear- ance in Manchuria and Korea, as the following table shows: Year. Piece. 1902 700,000,000 1903 600.000,000 1904 ./ 900,000,000 1905 1,700,000,000 ,1906 1 .050,000,000 T907 J 1,260,000,000 1 908 970,000,000 "It will be seen that in 1905 the fig- ures were suddenly increased to 1,700,- 000,000 pieces. This is the direct re- sult of the Japanese-Russian war, and, of course, the figures cannot be taken as the standard of calculation. A com- parison of the figures iox 1907 with those for 1902 and 1903 shows more or less improvement in the Japanese to- bacco business. At present the ratio of Japanese tobaccos and foreign sold in Korea and Manchuria, is 8.3 in Man- churia and 5.5 in Korea. "As the Trust is assuming a more competitive attitude toward Japan, the ivlonopoly Bureau is making due prep- arations to meet the Trust. With re- gard to the future policy to be adopted by the Monopoly Bureau, the authori- ties are maintaining secrecy, as it is necessary to take precautions in order not to acquaint Japan's rivals with the prospective policy, and as. moreover, the latter has more or less diphjma-vic significance. "It is believed that tobacco factories on a large scale will be established in Korea and Manchuria, and that great improvements will be effected in the output and method of sale; in short, Japan will proceed systematically in her competition. A bill providing for the necessary expenditure will be in- troduced in the forthcoming session of the Diet." TOBACCO PRODUCTION IN JAVA. Consul B. S. Rairden furnishes the following report on the cost of pro- ducing tobacco in Java: Native laborers are paid as follows: Males from 10 to 16 cents per day; fe- males from 6 to 12 cents per day, and children from 4 to 6 cents per day, working from 7 A. M. to 5 P. M. Tobacco cultivation in Java is either carried on by Europeans on land leased from the natives, or by the natives themselves on their own land. Rent of leased lands averages from $2 to $4 per bouw (i bouw equals i^ acres) per year for irrigated land, and $1 per bouw for dry or non-irrigated land. Young tobacco plants are usually set out 2 to 2^ feet apart, and average about 14,000 plants per bouw. On an average 1000 plants yield $4 worth of green tobacco and $1 worth of dry to- bacco. The usual price paid for green tobacco of the first quality is $7 per 1000 soedjens (i soedjen equals 15 leaves), of the second quality, $4 per 1000 soedjens, and of the third qual- ity $3 per 1000 soedjens. The price for dry tobacco ranges from $1 to $4 per 100 pounds. Constitution ^Ina'SfK.™" Made in the ffood old way. EL DRACO CIGAR MFG. CO..

Our daily press is helping the movement by publishing articles about this subject, and yesterday another meeting was held in the Fronton Build- ing, where the "Jai-alai" games are held in winter. It is sincerely to be hoped that something will be done to help the large number of cigar fac- tories, as it is not only the bosses, the cigarmakers and all the help connected with them, but a falling off in the wages paid also affects butchers, grocers, tai- lors, shoemakers, etc. Besides, the al- lied trades of boxmakers, lithograph- ers, leaf dealers and the farmers them- selves are made sufferers by a decline in the demand for their products and goods. Last year was one of the poor- est, as far as exports were concerned, and up to the middle of August this year we have fallen behind a little over 100,000 cigars, instead of an increase in same. H. Upmann & Co. shipped 500,000 •cigars last week. The Sol factory is doing a fair busi- ness, as orders are not lacking, and Bthrens & Co. express themselves sat- isfied with the present movement. Max Schatz is hustling in the interest ot the Sol and Luis Marx brands in the United States, meeting with well-de- served success, while the excellent con- nections of Behrens & Co., in Great Britain, Germany and other countries are always supplying them with suf- ^cient orders. The Sol cigars are kept up to their previous high standard of quality, so it needs only a trial to con- vince a new customer of their merit. BUYING, SELLING AND OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST. Cano & Hno. had a banner week, as they sold 3500 bales of leaf tobacco last week. S. Ruppin was the biggest purchaser •of leaf during the last eight days, as he bought 2500 bales of choice vegas. Puente, Granda & Co. were large sellers, closing out 1325 bales of all kinds of leaf. Sylvester & Stern registered 2000 bales, upon contracts of previous pur- chases made, last week. Suarez Hno. closed out 1,243 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios. Cuesta Rey & Co. are reported as buyers of 1,500 bales of leaf tobacco. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez disposed of 800 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Partido and Remedios. Ileinrich Neuberger was a buyer and shipper of 1,228 bales of tobacco during the past eight days. The firm has three escojidas going in the best parts of the Santa Clara province, which will produce at least 7»5oo bales of all classes. Their big warehouse at 15 Monte street is fast filling up, and if the volume of business done so far should increase in the same pro- portion as up to now, then the pres- ent building may prove too small next year. A. M. Calzada & Co. are reported to have sold 650 bales of Vuelta Ab- ajo and Remedios. Don Antonio has informed his customers that, while Mrs. Calzada has improved slightly, he does not deem it advisable to leave for Tampa yet. G. VV. Nichols purchased about 1,000 bales of leaf tobacco during his stay here. Munic Hnos. & Co. closed out 509 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios.

NEW YORK Mr. Emil Berger, well known in the tobacco trade, the writer has been making some inquiries concerning Mr. Berger's connections. It seems that the Emil Berger Tobacco Co. owns the Emil Berger Tobacco Co., and that Mr. Berger is vice president of the International Tobacco Co.. also the president of the Emil Berger Tobacco Co. and a director in both companies. This bit of information will probably be of some intelligence to the trade and cigar manufacturers in particular, so many of whom have business almost <:onstantly with the International To- bacco Co. or the Emil Berger Tobacco Co., or both. * * * TRAIJK XOTES Robert Cans, of Max Gans & Son, leaf tobacco dealers, who has been dangerously ill at home with typhoid fever, is now on a fair road to recov- ery.

Contract Out for New Bagley Building. Verdon Case. Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World," 535 Campbell avenue, Detroit, Mich., Sept. 13. ' The local demand, although hardly equal to the trade of a few weeks ago, ■continues good. Prices have remained stationary for a long time and the trade feels justified in buying liberally. Scores of cigar factories in different parts of the city report a heavy de- mand for this time in the year. As has been mentioned at different times in these columns, there is always a slowing-up in the Detroit trade with the approach of fall, but while 1909 is no exception to the rule, there has not been such a decided reaction as was customary. Wholesalers are as busy now as they have been at any time this year. Re- tailers have commence in the market ana no difficulty is experienced in dis- posing of stocks. Money is free and collections easy. The down-town re- tailers are elated over ct)nditions and no cU)sing-out sales are on the boards. iAUother large cigar factory for the hast Side is now in course of construc- tion on Forest avenue, between Chene street and Grandy avenue. Spietz & Worch, cigar manufacturers, now lo- cated on Chene street, are the owners of the new plant, which will include two buildings, one 170 x 50 feet, and the other 60 x 70. The structure will be of brick and concrete with composi- tion ro(jfing. It will be completed in a few weeks. Local cigar manufacturers continue to report difficulty in securing suitable labor. At the different free employ- ment bureaus about the city it was learned that more jobs were vacant than there were men to fill them. A number of local concerns have strings out in other cities. Stephen G. Earl has been appointed trustee of the Verdon Cigar Co., re- cently declared bankrupt, at a meeting of the creditors, held in Kalamazoo, this week. The liabilities of the com- pany, according to the schedule filed, amount to $70,997-54. while the assets are $28,030.10. The liabilities include bills payable to the sum of $27,539.82, and moneys borrowed to the extent of $43,457.72. A considerable portion of the latter item is owed in Kalamazoo. Among those who are hardest hit by the failure are Weinheimer & Opp, St. Louis, $9,307.54; Schuster Bros., Mil- waukee. $13,834.46; J. A. Hoffman, Kalamazoo, $2,363.67; Sanford Sover- hill, Janesville, Wis., $1,162.50; City National Bank, Kalamazoo. $20,000; Kalamazoo National Bank, $5,500. The items appearing as owing the two Kalamazoo banks are for moneys borrowed, as was also the greater por- tion of the sums due Weinheimer & Opp, and Schuster Brcjs. Bills receivable listed at $7,553 74 »« among the assets, while stock, fixtures, tools, etc., are inventoried at $3,107. Auded to these items is cash on hand amounting to $17,369.36.

Calves & Ca Hi * At the factories of Otto Kisenlohr & Bros, and the Theobald & Oppen» hcimer Co. there is an actual rush for g^oods and the facilities are being tax- ed to keep the production up to the requirements for prompt shipment. [ A contract has been awarded for the erection of a new factory building at Eleventh and Wharton streets for the 44 Cigar Co;, and it is hoped to have the new building completed by Christ- mas so that operations may be com- menced in it by the beginning of the new year. A change in the personnel of the company has been recently made. Mr. Benj. Grabosky, formerly associated 12 with his brother, S. L. Grabosky, trad- ing as the Empire Leaf Tobacco Co., has accjuired an active interest in the business of the 44 Cigar Co., and will devote his entire time to the require- ments of the business. Mr. L. Grab- osky will take general charge of the office forces and finances, while !Mr. Lipshutz, the founder of the business, will be given greater freedom to look after the necessary details of the ex- tensive business in the manufacturing department. The capital stock of the company is being increased in proportion to ihe general expansion of the business and its requirements. ♦ * * The Empire Leaf Tobacco Co., which is known as one of the active Third street houses, will continue as heretofore by S. L. Grabosky, who is at present in Connecticut looking over the leaf market there. _^ * * * According to late reports H. Dolin- sky. Third street leaf dealer, who has been ill at Atlantic City, has improved somewhat with some hope of ultimate recovery. 4> * 4> Nearly every available bench in the new factory of Luckett, Luchs & Lips- comb is now filled by a cigarmaker, and every effort is being made to have a complete line of goods ready for the trade before the close of the present month.

The cigarette production in this city has fallen «)fT about 1,000,000 comparing the past month with the corresponding period of last year, i. e., those bearing a tax of $1.08 per thousand, while un- der the $2 tax there was an increase of about three-quarters of a milli A.

York. Pa.. September 13. There is a general improvement in business conditions in York, according to reports made by the leading manu- facturers of the city at the September meeting of the Manufacturers' Asso- ciation, last week. Such reports do not come alone from one line of indus- try, but from nearly every one repre- sented in the Manufacturers' Associa- tion. More orders, a greater demand and in fact a general revival of business seems to be in evidence everywhere. Manufacturers generally are on the lookout for workmen. ihere has been little if any change reported in the tobacco situation the past ten days. The many inquiries for »9o8 leaf, buyers say. have sent the price up, dealers now asking from 2 to 3 cents per pound more than a month ago. The short crop this year is said to be the cause. As to the field tobac- co there is no change and the estimate, as made by those now cutting, is a croj) between 50 and 60 per cent, of be- ing full. Rain coming soon, they say, may save some of the most backward, but plenty of it will not develop under any conditions. A well-known packer from Lancaster, who was here this week, in discussing the situation, re- marked that conditions this season re- minded him somewhat of those of the year iperjy, being to- tally devoid of moisture, and as a re- sult dealers lost thousands of dollars. Reports from all parts «>f the county show that much tobacco has been cut. At some places- it was noticed that some of the tobacc(j had thickened up and a fair crop is expected. Notwithstanding the small rains at several places the tobacco is reported to be slowly dying from the ground up. 1 lie recent rains have been beneficial in removing the dust trom the tobacco fields. »vosley, J. Neff, cigar manufacturer, of Red Lion, has returned from a suc- cessful trip to the West. Dealers report good trade in leaf tobacco. Last week Xoah Gillen sold and shipped 186 cases. The cigar business continues to im- prove. John H. Baum, of Loganvillc, is in need of 12 more hands to fill his orders. A. F. Burg, East Prospect, has all the orders needed to keep his factory run- ning. A number of applications have been made to the Deputy Revenue Collec- tor for bonds to operate factories. The New York factory at Dallas- town has closed down the nigh.t work. The United Cigar Co., which oper- ates in Windsor, has succeeded in get- ting H. F. Martin to enlarge the fac- tory leased from him. At Red Lion work was begun last week with 100 hands by the United Cigar Co., in the Kaltreider factory. The Red Lion Tobacco Comj)any, one of the largest concerns for the manufacture of tobacco from scraps in this section, as soon as the papers can be completed kud the transfer made, will change its name and owner. It will be known as the Union Tobacco Lcmipany and controlled by Charles A. Rost, at present a large dealer in leaf tobacco. The factory was started about three years ago by Edward Mate, S. V c^echrist. Dr. J. M. Hyson and D. A. Horn, trading as the Red Lion To- bacco Company. Since that time the business increased so rapidly that an extension of the plant was made dou- bling the capacity. It has always been considered one of tne most profitable of the local industries, the expensive machinery provided taking the place of many hands. The reason for the change in ownership is not stated. Mr. Rost, the purchaser, the price not being stated, is known as one of the best and most conservative of business mana- gers, and the plant will accordingly be kept going to its full capacity. Charles W. Hartman, who for the past eight years has acted as foreman in John Shindler's cigar factory, on First avenue, has resigned that posi- tion and has accepted one with the United Cigar Company, of New York, at Red Lion. H. L. Hains, representing T. E. Brooks & Co., of Red Lion, has re- turned from a week's business trip to New York. The State Seal building, built by the State Seal Cigar Company at Felton, was completed by the carpenters last week. In a few days, it is expected, operations will be started in the new department, which is etiuipped with all modern devices. T. A. P. Carman is the manager of the concern, which in- tends giving employment to as many hands as can be secured. Mr. Carman is removing to Felton from York. John Schoaflf, the tenant on Samuel Arnold's farm, near Windsor, is said to have raised the largest tobacco in this section. Some of the leaves meas- ure 51 inches in length. Amos W. Herrman has resigned the position as bookkeeper at the Monarch Cigar Company, Red Lion. He will be succeeded by v^ . W. Stine, of Holtz. H. F. Martin, a cigar manufacturer of this city, has returned from a busi- ness trip West which is reported as the most successful he ever made, hav- ing taken numerous orders for his product and m.iking one deal which will give his factory an output of two cases a week to one customer of one brand alone.

Several Recent Local Tobacco Deals Have Caused Leaf Men to Sit Up and Take Notice. Lancaster, Pa.. Sept. 13. A number of local transactions in the leaf tobacco market have revived gen- eral interest in the trade. As soon as it was announced that several transac- tions of more thr.n ordinary impor- tance had been consummated, there also began to arrive intpiiries from other sources, which have resulted in general renewed activity, and a form of mild excitement prevailed for a short time, because it had been a long time since such transactions had been reported from this market. The changing in ownership of sev- eral thousand cases in the aggregate in a single week seemed almost a dream after the many months of sluggisn trading, and for a time the matter of price was almost entirely lost sight of, and quantity was apparently the chief topic of conversation. The impetus which these transactions may give the market will undoubtedly prove highly beneficial, and may even culminate in an activity that may continue for an indefinite period. ine prolonged drought was partially broken by an excellent rain on Thurs- day night and Friday of last week, but it was, it is feared, too late to prove of a saving value to the tobacco crop, which had already so far advanced in its maturity, and which was no doubt hastened by the dry spell, that after all little material benefit can accrue to the crop now. It is generally conceded that certainly not more than half a usua': crop will be harvested this year, and since this had become a recognized fact, it seems to have had its effect upon market prices of leaf. which have made s(jme advances. Cutting is in progress here and there but the irregularity of the crops will not permit of any general activity in this work, and yet growers arc now becoming fearful that a frost may set in before the cutting and housing can be completed, and add still more to wnat the crops already have suffered by drought. Sampling of the 1908 goods has pro- gressed to such a point that it is pretty generally known now what the pros- pects are. It has, from all accounts, turn- ed out very well, and indications at present are that it will soon be looked over by dealers with more or less eag- erness to supply their stocks. The side of the tobacco warehouse of B. H. Leaman, at Lititz, was last week considerably damaged by a freight car which was knocked through the wall in trying to sidetrack the car. D. Rubenstein, a leaf dealer of Pitts- burg, who had been in Lancaster on business, died suddenly last Wednes- day of heart failure. Mr. Rubenstein has during the past few years spent considerable time in and around Lan- caster, and was quite an extensive deal- er. While here he generally made his headquarters with Herman Stein, of South Prince street. They were very intimate friends, and did considerable business together. He was busily at work in the ware- house when he was suddenly stricken without the least apparent warning, and did not even regain consciousness: He is survived by a widf)W and several children, and was in the thirty-eighth year of his age. CONSULAR REPORTS on TOBACCO The Trade in India. In a report on the present condi- tion of the tobacco trade in India and the prospects of introducing into that country leaf tt)bacco for manufacture into cigarettes, etc.. Consul E. Halde- man Dennison, of Bombay, says: The British-American Tobacco Com- pany practically controls the import trade <)f this commodity in India. The few local independent manufacturers find it very difficult to keep their busi- ness going with such strong opposi- tion. There is a large import of cigar- ettes solely under its control. It has a factory at Mongir, in Bengal, and has purchased land upon which it grows its own tobacco. The manufacture of tobacco is • a promising industry in India. The na- tives smoke from early youth, and the tendency is toward the abandonment of the clumsy "hukka" in favor of ci- gars and cigarettes. According to offi- cial statistics the area under tobacco cultivation in India is about 1700 square miles, more than half of which is in Bengal. The bulk of the leaf Is ex- ported to foreign countries in a crude- ly cured condition, or is sent to Bur- ma to be mixed with locally grown to- bacco and made into cigars. The imports of tobacco into India,, however, exceed the exports, due main- ly to the large import of cheap cigar- ettes. ^The prevalence ot cigarette smoking^s very noticeable in Bombay and other large towns. The cigarettes are sold at a price which brings them within the reach of all and creates a demand, for in the case of articles of popular consumption cheapness is in India the first consiueration. However,, in spite of these large importations, the Indian cigarette locally known as "biri" more than holds its own, except per- haps in the seaport towns where no inlaid freight has been paid upon the imported article. The cheapness of the biri is amazing, a thousand of them be- ing sold for 20 cents and even less, not- withstanding the tobacco for their manufacture is sometimes brought from Madras and Assam, but the wages paid are only a little over a half a cent for rolling 100 cigarettes. The Indian cigar industry is an ex- panding one and Indian manufactures - are now exported to all parts of the world, but the quality of both the In- dian cigar and Burma cheroot is very variable, due to the uneven cpiality of the tobacco. The government has made repeated efforts to improve the culture, but owing to the conservatism of the cultivators no success has been attain- ed. The method of curing is also crude. - e process is not under control and is frequently carried too far with the result that the arf)matic properties are dissipated, and an objectional pungent mass is left. For wrappers the Indian cigar manu- facturers use imported leaf, which may cither be Sumatra or Java, and forfil- native-grown tobaccos are used. 1& THE TOBACCO WORLD For Oentlemen of Good Taste 8-S^N FELI R^ A HIGH GRADE R^ kJC.

Boston Bureau "The Tobacco World," 212 Hanover Street. Boston. Mass., Sept. 13. Vacationists are fast returning from beaches and other summer resorts, the cold weather being mostly responsible for it. Carnival Week is on at Revere Beach this week, and this ends the sea- son there for 1909. lUisiness with our local retailers is iiow rounding into better shape, and there are (piite a number of new cigar stores starting up around town. The large cut-price druggists are all silling the 15-c. packages of czigarettes at 12 cents each, but quite a number of our retailers refuse to advance their price and are still selling at the old figures. This is really a bad condi- tion of affairs, as it is not expected that the cut-price druggists will con- tinue to get the advanced price unless the other retailers also fail in line. Visiting cigar and cigarette salesmen were here this week in abundance, and all appear to be doing some business. J. P. M. Chapman, representative of Lopez, Grau & Co., of Key West; G. A. Kohler & Co., of Yoe. Pa., and a few other concerns, is here calling on the jobbing trade. Ralph M. Cans, of Cans Bros., N.

A police officer in Park Square, who apparent- ly was jealous of Charlie's looks, had a tilt with him over a trivial matter, and although Charlie put up a '"fat argu- ment" he could not convince the judge tnat he was in the right, and had to put up five cartwheels to satisfy the ends of justice.

It Is doubtful if lialf the acre- age of the State is yet In the sheds, and much as it is deplored it is pretty cer- tain that some unripe tobacco is beiugr cut. — Reporter. Stoughton.— The dani.ige by frost to to- bac(H> is as large .is 2.'i per cent. In some Instances. Near Forrest. Dane county, ie.ives of tobacco plants are black and el.sewhere they are spotted from frost la sjiots. while a half mile distant there may not be Ji trace of frost. Two weeks more will ripen the crop, but the farmers are in such a hurry to slied the idaiits that tliere is danger of unsound le.if. KENTICKY. rynthiana.— Tobacco cutting is nearly over in this county, and is the earliest tliat the crop has been gotten In here la ye.-irs. Ideal we.ather conditions have pre- v.iiled for housing the crojis. the cool nights and sunshiny days l>eing just the tiling for tobacco to cure nicely. Much of the early cutting is nearly cured. The tobacco crop in this county Is a good one. though not :is large as was expect- ed, much of the t«)b.icco in tlie lowlands having been damaged by the excessive rains this summer, drowning it out la places. VIRGIXI.%. I>:invllle. — The f.irmers are very busy cutting and housing the crop, .-iiid it will be several weeks before breaks become' really interesting. The weather has been almost ideal throughout the old belt dis- trict, and the crop Ibiis very much improv- ed In quality and weight. In fact, many say that there is the finest crop in sev- eral years. WISCONSIN.

Sheip Mfg. Co. Columbia Ave. and Sixth Street, PHILADELPHIA Richmond Lawyer Argues that Sherman Law Cannot Control Monopoly EviL William L. Rnyall, of Riclinioiul, Va.. has prepared a brief and will ask the Supreme Court of the United States at the October term to permit him to appear as amicus curia in the suit fbrouKht by the }^overnment a^'iinst tile American T<»bacco Com- I)any. Mr. Royall has for years been en- gaged in a study of the trust question, and in the last twenty years he has ap- peared in the court of last resort in some thirty cases, many of them be- ing leading cases in the law reports. Mr. R(nal! takes the ground that the Sherman law is wholly and clearly unc(mstitutional. that the whole theory of the Sherman anti-trust law is wrong, and contends that his solution of the matter is the correct principle. It is to expound this that he seeks to appear and argue the matter as a "friend of the court" when the case is to be taken up in review. In the very outset of his request Mr. Royall assures the court that his rec- ord is a sufficient guarantee that he will not abuse the privilege of the court. He contends that the whole spirit of the trust law is based on in- tent. If it is the intention of the trust to destroy competition by combining to undersell or to take away the trade or business of a rival by selling goodg at a lower price than allows a profit in order to take away the business ana trade of a rival concern, then it is liable for injury and action at law^ He holds that a man or any nundjcr of men can agree to combine and to ex- tend that business in every way, but that in doing this the laws of trade nuist be observed and the rights of the individual safeguarded in every way as the rights of the parties to the com- bination. On this point Mr. Royall says : "Many may do t(»gethcr and jointly whatever one may do lawfully alone. It is settled that citizens have the right to make any inocuous contracts, and this is one of the liberties secured to the citizens by the constitution. The right to compete, then, to the destruc- tion of the rival, if the competition is fair, is a liberty secured by the consti- tution. Hut there is no right to take an unfair advantage. The injury done by the trusts is in giving away their goods or in celling them below cost for the purpose of destroying a rival. There is a natural right to destroy him by fair competition, but no right to destroy him by giving away goods for the puri)ose of destroying him." The late E. J. Phelps, says Mr. Roy- all, who was one of counsel in the joint traffic case, pirated a pamphlet, which he (Royall) published in 1897, in which Mr. Royall set up these views, and they were presented by Phelps as his own views, and when the court came to render its decision it practically gave up its previous views in the Trans- Missouri case and in efifect cjtnccded the force of his (Royall's) argument as it had been presented by Phelps, but who gave Royall no credit for originating the ideas. "For practically dealing with the case." says Mr. Royall, "we must abandon the whole scheme of the Sher- E. A. Calves & Co.

That is founded on a total misconception of the whole subject. That law is based upon the idea that it will control the trusts by abridging the rights of the men to combine their resources and assets. This would end all co-operative business and send us back to barbarism." Mr. Royall is very much in earnest in his determination to seek permis- sion of the court to appear in this mat- ter. He has printed the brief, and it has been sent to many of the leading law journals of the country as well as to some of the foremost lawyers, and his scheme has been received with the greatest consideration. The law jour- nals speak of it in a most compliment- ary way, while some of the lawyers — and among them are counsel for great corporations — take the view that Mr. Royall has solved the trust problem and the matter of dealing with them so as to protect the weaker individ- uals and at the same time to proinote business development. TOBACCO WARS IN OLDEN TIMES. Combination to Raise Prices by Limiting Acreage Two Centuries Ago. The very active part by Governor "Wilson (both in law and jaw) in sup- pressing disorder in the tobacco re- gions of Kentucky, together with re- marks by our own people, managers, etc., relating to like regions in Ten- nessee, may have impressed some that said conditions are original, not easily solved. Chief Justice Marshall, in his life of Washington. Vol. i, Page 193, re- ferring to conditions in Virginia about 1688, says: "The low price of tobacco, that perpetual source of dissatisfaction, still continued to discpiiet the country. Combinations were formed among the people to raise its value by preventing for a time the growth of the article; and disorderly parties assembled to de- stroy the tobacco plants in the beds, when it was too late to sow the seed, 'lo prevent these practices very violent measures were adopted and sveral per- sons were executed. Said Judge Marshall, in this connec- tion: "The proper remedy, on improve- ment of its quality, by the establish- ment of inspections, had not yet been applied." So the night rider in the to- bacco patch is very ancient, if not hon- orable, yet the suggested remedy is honorable, if very ancient, and carried out fairly by appropriate legislation, not to be confined to classification on sale by sample, in the language of Judge Marshall, is "the proper reme- dy." In the good year /v. D. 1688 there were no trusts and the political rea- son, in absence of any other, and so popular at this time, the "Octopus," cannot be assigned as a cause. Neither has the trust of to-day produced con- ditions existing herein referred to, but a lack of intelligent consideration by self-constituted guaruians has always been the fault. — Nashville American. A. A. Mason, in the neighborhood of Locust Grove, Ky., lost his crop of 10.000 pounds of tobacco by fire last week.

YNCLAN RAIN IMPROVED TOBACCO CROP. York County Farmers Encouraged by Unexpected Benefit from Late Rains. York. Pa.. Sept. 20 There is not much change in the to- bacco condition, except that the re- cent rain.s have proved of much benelit to the tobacco. At many places which a month ago looked very discourag- ing the tobacco cut last week proved to be very good. Many of the farmer*: say their crops have improved verv much. While the tobacco is short an.' heavy, it has a good color. The re- cent rains have not only been beneficial to tobacco, but also to crops in gen eral. The drought apparently is over Streams that were diminished are in creased, and the water supply in our farm yards is improved. 'Tis the old story of crying too much in advance, for at the opportune mo ment the unexpected occurs, and our Creator sends the rain on the just and unjust. The Equivalent Cigar Factory, at Logansville, has been purchased by A. F. Fix. of Dalla.stown, and T. D. He- ney, of York. The new firm will in- crease the capacity and manufacture cigars on a large scale. M. M. Knisely, of Red Lion, has accepted a position in a cigar factory at loplin, Mo. A. R Reiflf and Max Kalisch, of the City Leaf Tobacco Company, were at Lancaster arranging to ship a large lot of tobacco they recently purchased. Reports from various portions of the county are to the effect that the tobacco industry is holding its own along the lines on which it has been running for some time. A. E. Wallick, lithograph salesman, is on a Southern trip in the interest of his firm. Theodore A. Winter, cigar manu- facturer, of Craleyville, gave his shop hands an outing on Sunday in Fish- ing Creek Park, William Kauffman, of Craleyville, has added three new hands to his force of cigar makers, having many orders and no cigars to fill them. Red Lion. Red Lion's latest sensation, of the attempted suicide of Millard Smith cigar manufacturer, has been almost forgotten, and the borough has been honored by a new-born tobacco com- pany naming one of their brands af- ter Red Lion. C. A. Rost, of West High street, has purchased the scrap tobacco fac- tory from the Red Lion Tobacco Com- pany. He will continue to operate it as the Union Tobacco factory. A large tobacco tripping machine, which will replace a number of hands, is to be installed. The Red Lion Cigar Company added six new hands to its working force yesterday. C. N. Foreman has finished the erection of a large cigar factory cmi East Gay street. Work will be start ed in the new factory to-morrow morning. James Olp, employed at the Shertzer scrap factory for several years, will engage in the cigar business, J. Frank Strayer, cigar manufac turer, left on Tuesday on an extended business trip through the Western States. Charlie. HOPES BRIGHTEN IN LANCASTER. Numerous Inquiries for Old Leaf and Fear of a Small Yield This Year Strengthen Prices. Lancaster. Pa.. Sept. 20. As was predicted in this correspon- dence on previous occasions, there has recently set in some real activity in the leafitobacco market which has already visibly aflfccted prices. The numerous inquiries which have been received bv dealers from various sections of the country for 1906 and 1907 tobacco, coupled with the fact that the 1909 crop will necessarily be a short one. has revealed the fact that prices on old goods are rising, and to that fact is attributed the statement that not so many sales are now being made, be- cause it has caused a hesitancy on the part of buyers to pay the advances immediately. It is now believed that our packers will not be at a loss for a market, and that an improving condi- tion in the cigar trade will soon cause a fairly active demand for goods both old and new, and considerable will be wanted for almost immediate use. The sampling of the 1908 goods is about completed, and the results are reported as gratifying. The I^mcaster County Tobacco Growers' Association held its Septem- ber meeting on Saturday by making its annual visit to the experimental station at Cocalico. In the absence of President B. Ezra Herr, M. L. Greider presided. The attendance was not as large as on the occasion of previous visits to the station. A number of farmers from the vicinity assembled with the members. An address on the work of the station last year and what it hopes to accomplish this year was given by Dr. William Frear, of State College. Seed stalks from different parts of the county were grown this year and efforts were made to secure a larger yield. Cigars made from the 1908 tobacco of the station were ex~ hibited and distributed by Mr. Greider. This year's crop is about two-tha^s as high as on former years, but the quality of tobacco is heavier, the leaves being thicker. This year's crop in general was dis- cussed, and from reports the crop will amount to about 60 per cent. A report of the tobacco in different parts of the- county was made by Edward Hjbsh-. man. who is connected with the sta-. tion, and is a son of George Hibsh-- man, secretary of the association. Dr. Frear stated that the cost of producing Sumatra tobacco in Lan-r- caster county varied from $91 to $126 . an acre, J. H. Hoober, leaf packer, has re- cently visited the leaf market in Phila- delphia. E, M, Cohn, also a leaf packer, re- cently returned to Lancaster after spending the summer in Europe iui company with Mrs. Cohn. L J. Rupp, cigar manufacturer at: Denver, is erecting an addition to his factory. Mr. Rupp's business is grow^ ing steadily. The Enterprise Tobacco Co., makers of chewing and smoking tobacco at Denver, are engaging larger quarters for their business, which the rapid in- crease of their trade has necessitated. 16 ^^M THE TOBACCO WORLD ^^B For Gentlemen of Good Taste 5-S^N FELieE-5 R -^ A HIGH GRADE R^ iJC.

Vice Consul General Claude E. Guy- ant, of Panama City, furni.shes the fol- lowing information concerning the handling and preparation of tobacco on the isthmus: The new Isthmian Tobacco Company, composed of local and Kentucky bus- iness men, though not fully organized, has already been dampening and pre- paring dry leaf tobacco for the mar- ket. The leaf is imported dry from Kentucky and Virginia, and a considr> erable saving in freight and duty is effected thereby. There is installed in the factory here at the present time complete machinery for preparing dry leaf tobacco, but now that the com- pany has been incorporated plans for doing business on a larger scale are being worked out. The company will build a larger fac- tory and a warehouse adjoining the fac- tory, and in addition to preparing dry leaf complete machinery for the manu- facture of plug tobacco will be installed. The monthly output of leaf tobacco, as estimated at present, will be about 20.000 pounds. The company expects to supply the cities of Panama and Colon and the interior of the Republic, and will also try for the Canal Z(me trade. Already they have received several promising advance orders. As the business de- velops it is the intention of the mem- bers of the company to install ma- chinery for the mamifacture of cigars, cigarettes and smoking tobacco, and add these articles to their output. A report is in circulation that the British-American Tobacco Company, Ltd., has an agent at Panama City looking for a suitable building, either in Panama or Colon, in which it can also dampen and prepare dry leaf for the market here, instead of bringing it al- ready prepared for sale. By so doing it will reduce charges for freight and duty and place it in a position in which it expects to be able to compete with the Isthmian Tobacco Company. Announcement of experiments with a new way to cure tobacco interest the smoker indirectly. The consumer is ordinarily suspicious of quick methods, and there is natural skepticism as to the applicability of new methods in the t(»bacco curing industry. It may make more m(»ney for the growers and cur- ers. l>ut how will it affect the smokes? ^^ THE T O B ACCO WORLD ^^S Telephone Call, 432-8 Office and Warehouse: Florin, Pa.

While the Fall Business Does Not Equal '.the Summer Rush No One Complains. Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World.'" 535 Campbell avenue, Detroit. Mich.. Sept. 20. There is little new to report by way of business during the last week. While Wul resting on their oars in any sense of the word, cigar manufacturers are not up against a heavy rush of busi- ness such as they experienced several weeks ago. However, there is little fretting being done over the situation. Thus far 1909 has been an altogether favorable season, and if business keeps t;oming in its hjoked-for volume no "Word of complaint can be registered at the end of the year. Prices have remained at a good level for some time, and as collections have been easy dealers have not suffered. The reason for the present lull is hard to find. It is thought to be just a tem- porary slowing-down due to the advent of fall. Prospects are bright for a heavy, cold weather business, and De- troit cigar and tobacco men are mak- ing preparations for it. The retail trade is reported as good. The different downtown cigar venders are ail kept busy. The downtown cigar stores are also a .Mecca for baseball "bugs." The dif- ferent stores have score-boards, and hundreds of eyes eagerly scan them. 1 ne Tiger-.Athletic series has attracted unusual throngs, and. as most cigar dealers are fans, a good share of the patronage is gt)ing their way. Bets on the probable outcome of the .\mericaji League race have been laid in all the big downtown stores. One Detroit cigar dealer reported having $3000 to bet (»n the present Detroit- Philadelphia series. Odds were given that Detroit would break even. Odds are being offered with few takers that Detroit wins the pennant. The new Spietz & Worch C(tmpany building, now being constructed at 746- 754 Forest avenue, will cost about $75.- 000.

Tobacco dealers and manufacturers are taking fresh alarm from Secretary of State Martindale's 1909 revision of the laws of Michigan with reference to the manufacture and sale of licpiors. In this compilation of the li(|Uor laws are included all the laws relating to the s:;le of tobacco. One forgotten law. enacted in i8rm to any person under the age of 21 years. It is now practically conceded that the efforts of the various commercial clubs of Michigan, which combined in protesting a change from the average demurrer rule to a uniform code, have been successful, although the linal de- cision of the Interstate Connnerce Commission in \\ashington has not been made. The examination of Samuel Frisbie, of Cleveland, charged with C(Mnplicity in the nnirder of Louis Rosenberg, a Cleveland cigar-maker, will be resum- ed in the Port Huron, Mich., police Court this week. Recognition of the work being done by the Detroit Wholesalers' and Man- ufacturers' Association for the business interests of the city was evidenced at a recent session, when ten new firms were taken in.

Nothing of less moment should be allowed to stand in the way of a strong pool that means so much to every one of us and to the entire State. A strong pull and a pull alto- gether assures success. Yours, for a strong pool and good prices, faithfully, "Clarence Lebus." The District Board of the Burley So- ciety at the outset of the attempt to make a pool this year agreed to pay President LeBus a salary of $15,000, and if in addition the pool should be- successful a bonus of $10,000. It is this bonus he now offers to give up. A dispatch from Winchester, Ky., re- ports that tobacco people there are pleased with the action of President Le Bus in waiving any claim to the $10,000 bonus which he was to have re- ceived if the pool for the year proved a success. A high official of the Burley Tobacco Society said here to-day: "In my opinion, Mr. Le Bus made one mistake in this matter, and that was in not having waived his claim to this money si.\ weeks ago, f(»r the rea- son that while many of the growers would not have found any objection to his receiving this sum. if it came to- him as a part of his regular salary, the very name and idea of a bonus might create in the minds of these same peo- ple an apprehension as to the propriety of the action of the Board of Control and this might have worked great in- jury to the 1909 pool."

The business of retail dealer in leaf tobacco cannot be carried tMi on the same premises of a registered dealer in leaf tobacco. The two businesses must be kept separate, one from the other. The necssity for this requirement is apparent, and col- lectors should see that it is strictly ad- hered to. Respectfully, "R. E. Cabell, Commissioner." TAMPA'S NEW CIGAR FACTORY. The Regensburg Plant Will be Largest Clear Havana Factory in the World. Tampa. Fla., Sept. 23. The work on the new Regensburg & Sons' factory is progressing rapid- ly. WHien completed this building will be the largest clear Havana cigar factory in Tampa, and, therefore, the largest in the world. The firm now operates in the old Ballard factory, and they report ex- cellent business. They will be in their new quarters about the end of the year, and then this firm will occupy a high place among the many big fac- tories that are now operating in Tampa. It is known that a prominent c(Mi- tractor in Ybor City has contracts for building some 12 residences on the surrounding land. They will be built for rental purposes, and some for property owners who have been wait- ing for the work to begin on the large factory. This is most satisfying news. Soon many new dwellings will be seen going up, and this all demonstrates the progress of Ybor City. There is no more progressive section around here. The people get together and wt)rk together for the benefit of the ct)mmunity. That is the way to get results. — Plans have been prepared for a three-story brick factory building, 59 feet by 89 feel, to be erected at Spruce and Mechanic streets, South Bethle- hem, Pa., by Cressman Bros., cigar manufacturers, of Sellersvillc. A. H. MOTTLEY COMPANY Organized at Reidsville, N. C, with $100,000 Capital. Reidsville. N. C, Sept. 24. The organization of the A. H.

Motley, vice president; — . — . Sat- terfield, general manager. The au- thorized capital stock is $100,000, of which $.'>0,000 has been paid in. Op- erations wijl begin at once. The Mot- ley Co. has no connection with the American Tobacco Co. and it is un- derstood will run in opposition to that company. E. A. Calves & Co. Havana. 123 North^Third^street .IMPORTERS ot J.

To the commission recently appt)int- •ed our President, Jose Miguel Gomez has added the following commission merchants of cigars and leaf tobacco: Theodore Garbade. of H. Upmann & Co.; Leslie Pantin, J. F. Berndes & Co., Boning & Co. and Michaelsen & Prasse. it remains t. Diaz & Co. closed out 300 bales of Partido and Vuelta Abajo. Jose Lozano (F. Lozano, Sons & Co.) has bought the famous Betancourt vega of San Luis, about 400 bales, for which he paid a very high figure. Be- sides, he has purchased about 800 bales additional, which have not been regis- tered yet. Muniz Hnos & Co. sold 300 bales of Remedios last week. Heinrich Neuberger was a shipper of 329 bales to Bremen last week, but since the arrival of Mr. Moritz Neu- berger here it is more than likely that this firm will be a heavy buyer of all kinds of leaf in our market. Planas & Co. were sellers of 300 bales of Partido and Remedios last week. Walter C. Sutter left for New York last Sunday, per S. S. Saratoga, on his way to his Chicago home, after hav- ing spent five weeks here. He has been a hard and conscientious worker in Havana, as well as in the country, having made some good sized pur- chases of the finest vegas he could find for the numerous customers of the firm of Jacob Sutter & Sons. Ernest Elliger & Co. closed out 158 bales of Partidos last week. Manuel Rodriguez (Rodriguez & Te- jeido) purchased 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido while here. Gutierrez & Zabala sold 157 bales of Partido and Vuelta Abajo during the past eight days. Lennie Greenhall left with 200 bales to the credit of Greenhall Bros, as the result of his last buying trip to Ha- vana. Jose AL Cayro e Hijo disposed of 100 bales of leaf last week. Jorge & P. Castaneda have sold al- ready this year 6500 bales of their fa- mous San Antonio packing, which con- stitutes all the light, clean part, with- out colas, so they have only some wrappers and the heavier part of the escojida yet on hand. John Kolb (Theobald & Oppenheim- er Co.) only tarried a few days with us, as he left again by the S. S. Sara- toga. He claims he came only for a vacation, and that he will make the heavier purchases for his firm later on this year. HK(IOIl»TS FKUM THK COIXTRY'. Week ending Since Jan. Sept. 18. I, 1909. Bales.

Posey, Vice President of the ■new drug company, when apprcjached on the matter, admitted that George J. Whalen. President of the United Cigar Stores Company, together with several other of its officers, were closely as- sociated with the Lauer corporation. Mr. Posey stated that the plans i)l the X,auer Drug Company had not devel- oped very far as yet. but that it was ■certain there would be a United Cigar •establishment in connection with each of the drug stores opened. When asked if leases had been secur- ed for establishments in Jersey City, Perth Amboy, X. J., and Flushing, L. I., as had been rumored in the trade, he answered in the affirmative, and said that these stores would be opened very shortly, but so far no arrange- ments had been made for stores of this kind in ^Manhattan, The Bronx nor Brooklyn, as had been reported. The offices of the Lauer Drug Com- pany were recently moved from 156 Fifth avenue to the hcad(|uarters of the United Cigar Stores Company, 44 West Eighteenth street. * ♦ ♦ ASTOR'S LEASE TO CI(i.\R CO!*!- PAXY. The Astor estate has leased to the United Merchants Realty and Improve- ment Company the northeast corner of Broadway and 42d St., three 3-story buildings fronting 104.3 '>" Broadway and 112 feet on 42d st. The lease, which is drawn ior twenty-one years, contains the privilege of four renewals, which if exercised will give the lessees con- trol of the plot for 105 years. The present buildings will be razed as soon as the leases on the property expire, which will be about next May. It is expected that the site will then be in«. proved with a 12-story store and office building that will cost about $1,000,000. 1 he store will be occupied by the Unit- ed Cigar Stores Company. A part of the property leased is Shanley's restau- rant, which will probably be moved to Broadway, between 46tli and 47th sts. * * 0 BISI.\EMS TROI BLES.

SEPTEMBER 29. 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS A feature of the local leaf tobacco market during the past week was that there was an abundance (»f inquiry, but the actual sales were hardly what was expected under the circumstances. There were some transactions, of course, and the major i)ortion of the business received came frt)m traveling representatives now out on the road. From them there are some encourag- ing reports coming in also, and which Bie to the general effect that the con- ditions with the cigar manufacturers is improving now with reason to expect that the leaf trade will soon also share in a participation of greater activity. There were some goods sold of nearly all types of seed leaf tobacco. jIn the Sumatra market, little more than a routine business has been done. S^les consisted entirely of small lots. The Havana market remains practi- cally unchanged. « * * (A moderate business is reported by jobbers and retail dealers, the latter having been recently favored with ex- cellent weather conditions. Counter sales are reported to be better, and box trade also showing some signs of a gain. Retailers are still discussing the project of reorganizing a retail dealers' association here, and although the meeting called at the Mayor's Of- fice for Friday week last, was slimly attended, it is still maintained that it was not from any lack of actual inter- est, but owing to entirely other rea- sons that a large representation was not present. However, those who did attend were enthusiastic and have de- clared their willingness to make a per- sonal canvass among the leading deal- ers and urge their presence at the next meeting which is likely to be called at an early date. * « * The new firm of Luckett. Luchs & Lipscomb has been among the mcist active cigar houses in the city this week. Mr. Luckett has been on a fly- ing tour through the West where he called on some of the principal distri- butors and was not only very cordially received but also opened some very desirable accounts for their new line of goods. A goodly force of salesmen has been engaged, and reports at hand are to the effect that they are meeting with much encouragement by the way in which the new line is being received in the trade. 12 Whether the John C. Mercer Home for Disabled Clergymen of the Presby- terian Faith, situated at Ambler. Mont- gomery County, has failed of its pur- l)ose as a charitable institution was the question submitted to Judj^e Sulzberg- er yesterday in a suit by the heirs of Mrs. Mercer to recover the trust fund for the founding of the home. Mrs. fiercer, who died in t886, set aside $ioo.ooo of her estate for the home, but she provided that it should shelter no clergyman who used tobacco in any form. During its 21 years of existence only 35 applications for ad- mittance were received, of which 12 were refused because they failed to show proper eligibility, eight did not pursue their applications and only 15 were admitted. There is only one in- mate remaining, and the board of man- agers ai^plicd to the Attorney General to institute proceedings for the pur- pose of applying the trust property for the i)ayment to selected beneficiaries stipulated amounts, to be determined by the managers of the institution. Ex-Judge >v. W. Pf)rter, counsel for the trustees of the estate of Lydia I. Biddle. heirs under the Mercer will, objected to this action, contending that, the charity having failed, the property should revert to the heirs. John G. Johnson -and A. Culver Boyd, appearing for the board of managers, maintained that the charity as intended by Mrs. Mercer could be successfully carried out. Peter Boyd, an attorney, who is treasurer of the board of man- agers of the institution, told Judge Sulzberger that the pr«)hibitive tobacco clause was not the real cause for the small number of applications for ad- missi(m to the institution, but as no provision had been made in the will for clergymen and their wives the major- ity of these, even though indigent, did not care to leave their homes. He was «)f the opinion that if the home ceased to exist the fund could be turned over to the Btiard of Ministerial Relief of the Presbyterian Church, which cares for 457 clergymen, and that the trust would then be fully carried out. Judge Sulzberger took the matter under advisement. * * * H. C. Halloway, formerly a salesman with the 44 Cigar Co., is no longer with that house, and the territory formerly covered by him, viz., New York State and west, will henceforth be covered by O. L. Meyers. The firm has experienced an unusual- ly heavy demand for its product dur- ing the past few weeks and every avail- able space in the factory is being util- ized in seating cigar makers. Nft per- manent relief is expected until after the completion of the new factory building. The action brought by the 44 Cigar Co., some time ago against Gumpcrt Bros., of this city, was t») have come up for a hearing in court last Friday, but owing to the inability by death in the family of one of the principals of the defence the case was postponed for one week. * * m There was a dearth of visitors in the leaf market this week, but in the cigar trade there were (juite a few represen- tativs in town. * * * G. I. Watson, of Sig. C. Mayer & Co., recently returned from his trip to the west where he met with excellent results. The firm has secured a new cigar factory at Red Hill, where there was obtained a large and well adapted building and which had been specially built for the i)uri)ose. with a capacity for about 200 cigar makers, and where it is also believed go<»d and experienc- ed cigar makers can be secured. This acquisition will probably enable the firm to meet the demand for their pro- duct which has been increasing at a rai)id rate. ♦ * * The inventory of the personal estate of the late Antonio Roig, formerly ol the cigar firm of A. Roig & Langsdorf, has been filed by the executors and. shows a valuation of $467,243.34. * 4c 4> Tn the ^^entral High School in this city smoking has been prohibited un- der penalty of suspension by Professor Robert Ellis Thompson, the president of the institution. It is also declared that actual suspensions have already been effected in the case of obstinate students for smoking cigarettes. TRADE MARKS REGISTERED.

"The reports from some of the lo- cal option districts were couched in vehement terms, the Battle Creek, Jackson and Genesee districts being especially affected. In one district a delegate from Jackson asserts the membership of the Cigarmakers' Union had dropped from an even 100 to 33 between May ist, when local op- tion went into force, and the present time. "The outlook, he declared, was for still further reduction. The Jackson district was, it is said, more affected than any other. It was also reported from Kalamazoo, and other centres supplying surrounding counties, that the cigar trade in "wet towns" was being affected. we've got a man of such calibre. We know a delegate is doing it, but we are not satisfied who he is.' "It is probable an mvestigation will be made. "Another matter that disturbed the convention was the report printed in a Saginaw paper that State Labor Commissioner Fletcher is after Sec- retary Penna's scalp. Over the long distance telephone, Fletcher declared he was in no way interested in the Federation election. Penna worked against Fletcher's increase of salary in^ the State Legislature last spring. "The Federation brought up th©;^ question of a State-wide campaign of extension organization work. The plan, as far as outlined, is to create local funds in every city, the local trades councils to prosecute the work. The State Federation is to have gen« eral supervision and direct the cam- paign. Every unorganized district and' craft is to be invaded, if the conven-. tion adopts the plan.

Country Packers Prominent in Recent Leaf Transactions. Improvement Reported in Cigar Factories. Lancaster, Pa., Sept. i^. Conditions in the leaf market have not changed very greatly during the past week, and some business contin- ues to be done by local houses, al- though there is really more activity reported by dealers in the outlying sections of the county, and who have lately become much more encouraged. Inquiries are coming in stronger than for some time and the market gener- ally has braced up a great deal. Such packing houses as Hoffman Bros., at Bainbridge; E. L. Nissly & Co., Florin, Lichty, Warfel & Muesser, at Terre Hill, and Diller & Bro.. at Inter- course, have been prominent in recent transactions. Some goods were also sold by J. E. Longnecker, Bender & Musser and Ephraim Hershcy at Mt. Joy. The cigar industry seems to be im- proving steadily, and the local fac- tories are now reported to be busier than for some time. S. R. Moss Cigar Co., Oblinger Bros. & Co., and other local factories have an increased num- ber of orders on hand. In fact the ci- gar trade generally seems to be brisk- ing up. Work on the new factory be- ing built by the M. Kinports Cigar Co., at Rothsvillc, has been com- 84 by 32 feet, and two stories high, menccd. The main building will be with a wing 22 by 14 feet. Tobacco cutting is general, and al- though the crop would no doubt grow some yet, now that the earth is pretty thoroughly moistened, the fear of a possible frost is urging farmers to this action. Estimates place the total crop at possibly 40,000 cases. A major portion of the crop will have been housed by the end of the present week. if the weather conditions remain fav- orable. George G. Cooper, who has for sev- eral years been a foreman in the leaf tobacco packing warehouse of J. H. Hoober. on Tobacco Row, died last week very suddenly while at the ware- house, from a stroke of paralysis. The deceased is a brother of William R. Cooper, a well-known leaf dealer here, and was himself well known in the trade locally. He was a veteran of the civil war and was a member of several secret organizations. Interment was made from his late residence, at No, 410 West Lemon street. A. F. Eshleman, of Manor town- ship, who has his warehouse in Wash- ingtonboro, shipped his entire pack- ing of 1908 crop, consisting of some 27,000 pounds of seed leaf tobacco, to J. Vetterlein & Co., at their Lancaster warehouse. > There have been a few tobacco men out driving recently, but so far they have been very cautious about prices, and little if any has thus far been con- tracted for. The raising of a large tobacco ware- house for John H. DeHaven, at Churchtown, took place last Wednes- day. The building is 40 by 120 feet in dimensions, and when completed will be used, it is stated, by L. Loeb & Co., of Philadelphia. J. Edward Schcid. trading as the Scheid Cigar Co., was recently declar- ed a bankrupt in the United States District Court in Philadelphia. His lia- bilities were placed at $:i865.25, and assets at $256').89. VARIED REPOMS FROM YORK. Im^ved Business Reported in Some Factories; Others Still Dull. York, Pa., Sept. 28. The reports of the conditions in the cigar trade in the several sections of the country vary materially. From .some quarters it is reported that trade is quite active and that manufacturers have a good run of orders, and in other sections again, and perhaps a few miles only away from a busy cen- tre, it is apparently quiet, and fac- tories running at a very low ebb. Manufacturers in this city for the most part have a fair business at the present time, and prospects are rather bright. There is but one exception to this report so far as I have been able to ascertain, which was to the effect that during the past two weeks trade at this particular factory had fallen of^ considerable, but there were still or^ ders enough in hand to keep running steadily for a short time, with some prospect of new and additional orders coming in before the present orders are all filled and shipped out. H. F. Martin, maker of the Keen Cutter, a popular-priced cigar, will start out this week on a short busi- ness trip through Eastern Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey. He has beei* having an exceptional .^m of trade oi\ that one brand alone; and with the sev- eral brands which are being made at that factory, business has so far this year been very satisfactory. The new factory at Loganville, I am told, is busy on orders in hand for its products. The proprietors seem ta have been very fortunate in securing good salesmen, from whom good-sized ' orders are already at hand. The ven- ture promises to be a very successful one. •At the Red Lion branch of the United Cigar Manufacturers' Co. a number of additional hands have been recently added. There is now a work- ing force of about 40 hands on the pay- roll. W. M. Gemmill, of Red Lion, re- cently returned from a business trip to. Connecticut, where he made some pur- chases of leaf tobacco which is now im transit. It appears that since the recent rains, some of the tobacco has again devel- oped into a healthy growth, and what was once thought to be worthless will be left to stand for a time yet, andj should frost not come too soon it may yet develop into somewhat of a crop. The State Seal cigar factory building at Felton has recently been much im-^ proved by new painting. A cigar factory at East Yoe, recent- ly purchased by Isaac Kohler, of Yoe,. has resumed operations with the em- ployment of a number of hands, and* J. A. Kauflfman as foreman. A. F. Fix, a prominent cigar manu- facturer at Dallastown, has been on an automobile trip to New York. The Cuban Star Cigar Co., at Dal- lastown, recently received large con- signments of leaf tobacco.

Columbus. O., Sept. 24. The State of Ohio has been i)aying an average of %\\Vl a week for tobacco for its prisoners at the Ohio State Penitentiary and Warden T. 15. H. Jones is figuring how t«) reduce it. It is the plan of the warden to have the tobacco used at the big i)en cured and cut by the prisoners themselves, thus saving the State a large sum of the expense. As the tobacco is now purchased it costs the State $.*),2S() a year at con- tract rates.

MORE NIGHT RIDER TROUBLES. TRUST QUESTION in SUPREME COURT BURLEY TOBACCO SOCIETY SUED. Pen Portrait Drawn by a United States Court Judge. In the case of the L'. S. vs. Ameri- can ToIkicco Co. et al., in which three Jiulg^es ordered an injunction to issue against the Tobacco Trnst, because unlawfully created and illegally oper- ating, one of tlie Judges gave a very lucid idea of wliat a Trust looks like. He said: "The Tobacco Trust, so-called, con- sists of sixty corporations, whicli. since January. lcS9(), have united into one gigantic combination wliich con- trols a greatly preponderating propor- tion of the tobacco business in the United States, in each and all its branches, in some branches the vol ume being a> higli a> ninety-five per cent. Prior to their absorption many of these corporations had been active competitor^ in inter>tate and foreign commerce. They competed in pur- chasing raw material>, in manufac- turing, in jobbing and in selling to the consumer. To-day those plants Avhicli have not been closed are. with one or two exceptions, under the ab- solute dominion of tlie supreme cen tral authority. "Everything directly or indirectly connected with the manufacture and sale of tt)bacco products, including tlie ingredients, the packages, the bags and boxes, are largely controlled by it. Should a party with moderate capital desire to enter tlie field it ',vould be difficult to do so against the opposition of this combination. "That many of the associated cor porations were not coerced into join- ing the combination, but entered of their own volition, is quite true: but in many other instances it is evident that if iiot actually compelled to join, they preferred to do so rather than face an uneciual trade war, in which the odds were all against them, and i!i which success could t)nly be achieved by a ruinous expenditure of time and money. The power to de- stroy a too formidable rival. a>suming the allied companies >ee lit to exer- cise it, can hardly be denied. "We are not dealing with these com- panies as thev existed prior to 1S9(). but with the consolidated unit con- trolling a preponderating i>roportion of the tobacco busines> in it> most minute details. Prior t<. tliat date the manufacturing companies, the pur- chasers, the distril)Uter> and the sell ing companie> were each and all op- erating independently, and t()bacco products were being transported back and forth to every State ot the L nion and to foreign countries. "Since 1S9(I this vast inter>tate and foreign trade which wa:^ carried on bv this large nutnl>er of competing com- ])anies and individuals i> now carried i.n by one combination. "'JMie free interchange of commerce has been interfered with, h.impered, diverted and in >ome in>tances de- stroyed Though it may be greater in volume, it does not How through the old channels; it is not free and unre strained. It may be true that there are individual members of this com bination not engaged in interst.ite commerce— manufacturing companies ^,„ly_and therefore not engaged in commerce within the rule enunciated in U. S. vs. Knight (15() U. S. 1); but here the complaint is made, not against the individual conspirators John H. Montgomery Killed. Glasgow. Ky.. Sept. 29. John W. Montgomery, of this coun- ty. Republican nominee for Represen- tative, aged 65 years, was killed this afternoon by Morris Wilcoxen, at whose home he had called to get Wil- coxei'i to pool his lUirley tobacco. Montgomery was seated at a table writing when Wilcoxen fired without warning. Wilcoxen was arrested and placed in jail here. Whipped to Force Him to Join Pool. Paris. Ky.. Sept. 29. There has been a fresh outbreak of night-riding in the blue grass country, according to Judge J. J. Osborne, of Cynthiana. A tenant on the farm of T. J. McDowell, who had refused to join the jxtol of tobacco growers, was taken from his home last Thursday night, strii^ped to the waist, and given thirty lashes, lie was then ordered to be in Hrooksville the next day and sign over his tobacco or sutler more severely. He complied with the reciuest. Last. Saturday night, according to Judge Osborne, a band of about fifty men rode through Milford. a small town, shooting out lights and break- ing up a political meeting. Gov. Willson Urges Kentuckians to Join Liberty Leagues. Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 3. Fight the devil with his own fire is the method that Governor Willson is advising the independent growers (»f tobacco in Kentucky to adopt in their struggle against the night-riders. In a statement issued to-day he says in part: "Von will remember that 1 have made public addresses to our people asking them to defend their homes and assured them that if they did defend their homes and were careful not to make a mistake and kill innocent per- sons, but simply necessary defense of their lives, liberty and pro])erty. they would not necfl a lawyer. "I have never withdrawn that procla- mation. Tf men's interest in a business ])lan to form a combination to raise the l)rice on their crops, which is entirely proj)cr and wise, if lawfully carried on. is so great that they will form a i)ool that falls into lawlessness, why should not self-respecting, free Kentuckians form a liberty of freedom pool, a thou- sand times more serious and earnest than any jxtol for money prolit, and why should they not light for their liberties when the law is behind them and the State Government with them?" — Parties arc prospecting in Lynn- ville, Tenn.. with a view to locating a tobacco factory in that place. It is expected the j^lant may be in opera- tion by the first of the year. separately, but against the combina- tion as a whole. Mas it monoi)oli/.ed or restrained any part of interstate or foreign commerce? If so, it would seem that it is liable under this act." Case of American Tobacco Co. to Come Up October 20th. Washington. 1). C. Oct. 2. Important anti-trust and interstate commerce ligitation will be taken up by the Supreme Court of the United States at the outset of the October term, which will begin October 12. The Sherman law and the interstate commerce laws both will have their scope tested, in the cases which will be brought before the Cf»urt with the opening of the term. The case of the United States vs. the .\merican Tobacco Company, known as the Tobacco Trust, will be argued at the opening of the term. It is set down for October 12. but as there are a num- ber of cases ahead of it is will probably not be reached until about October 20. This is the most imi)ortant anti-trust litigation which will be submittetl to the Court the coming ti'rm. It not only involves the (juestion of whether the American Tobacco and re- lated concerns are combinations in re- straint of trade under the Sherman law. and whether they should be shut out of interstate commerce, but whether the great combination built around the American Tobacco Company shall be broken, and whether the broad inter- pretation put on the Sherman .\ct by the Court below shall be sustained. What the Court may do in this case will be of moment in its bearing on the Standard Oil Comi)any case, which is on its way to the Supreme Court, and is likely to be submitted to that tribunal the coming winter. Several highly important interstate commerce cases are to be argued be- fore the Court as soon as the term be- gins. HIGHER PRICES for KENTUCKY LEAF The Dark Tobacco is of a Fine Grade, But Crop Will be Small. Paducah. Ky.. Sept. 30.

More than that, in spite of the fact that last year was a trying one for tobacco buyers, because the situation was such that they could not tell one day what the next would bring forth, there is scarcely any tobacco left on the market, probably less than ever before at this time, leaving the mar- ket t)pen to the new crop. Competition among buyers also promises to be strong. — Fire in a business block gutted the cigar factory of Kirchner Hros.. on Market street, Tiffin, O. Lovell & Bufflngton Tobacco Co. Brings Suit Under the Sherman Law. Covington. Ky., Oct. i. The Lovell & Buflington Tobacco Co. on Tuesday last, through Attor- neys Ernst, Cassatt & Maxwell, sued the Hurley Tobacco Society and a num- ber of others in the United States Court in Ctjvingt(»n. asking for three- fold damages said to have been sus- tained by the acts of the Tobacco So- ciety in creating and enforcing a mo- noixily of "White Hurley" tobacco. The defendants named, in addition to the Hurley Tobacco Society, are as follows: Clarence Le Puis. J. L. Riley. James Kennedy. John P>erkshire, W. H. Met- calfe. X. J. Straube. M. Lauderbach, T. .\.

Taylor Sprague, Charles C. Patrick. A. L. Ferguson, W. P. Renaker. A. M. Cox. E. K. Renaker and Rhodes Thomas. •According to the petition the plain* tiff uses large <|uantities of what is known as White lUirley tobacco, and further states that this tobacco is dif- ferent in certain qualities from all oth- er tobacco that that other kinds of tobacco gannot be substituted for white Hurley. It further states that at the times mentioned in the suit not less than 95 per cent, of the white Hurley grown was raised in the States of Ken- tucky, (^hio and Indiana, and that dur- ing such time tjie white Hurley so grown was sold each year by the grow- ers on private contracts to buyers in not less than ten other States and for- eign countries, and that in each of said sales the grower acted for himself in free competition with other l)uyers and that the buyers acted in free competi- tion with each other. The allegation is made that by ship- ments of tobacco to Cincinnati and Louisville warehouse the weed became an article of interstate commerce be- cause at these vvarehouss it was sold to buyers of other States and foreign countries, including many foreign Gov- ernments which are themselves buyers of tobacco. In thus reciting the manner in which the tobacco was sold bj' the growers prevituis to the formation of the Burley Tobacco Society, the plaintiff in the suit goes deeper into the history of the manner in which tobacco was sold pre- vious to the formation of the tobacco pool than did the two suits filed by the Scranton and Philadelphia con- E.

It is further stated that in February, 1908, the plaintiff needed and required White P>urley tobacco in its business, and would have suffered serious dam- ages if it could not have secured it.

HAVANA CIGAR MAM'FACTl RERS are experiencing a slight improvement in general, while the larger factories have received enough holidays order by this time to keep them working with large forces. The demand from the United States. England. South America and Canada is good, and Ger- many, notwithstanding the higher duty, continues to transmit orders (of high-priced cigars principally) for the coming Christmas season. The Henry Clay and Bock & Co., Ltd., is fully occupied and is making heavy weekly shipments to all coun- tries. Sol during the past week received so many good and substantial orders . from the principal consuming centres of the world that Bchrens & Co. were c( impelled to seat (luite a number of additional cigarmakers.

This in- cludes, however, his packing in the Vuelta .Xbajo and other country pur- chases from the farmers direct. Sobrinos de Antero Gonzales were sellers of 966 bales of all kinds (»f leaf, Vuelta Abajo, Semi Vuelta, Partido and Remedios, during the past week. This well-known firm has again ob- tained the Spanish Regis contract for this year, although, it is said, the re- (juired quantity is not as large as last year. Angel L. Cuesta purchased 2500 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido last week. B. Diaz & Co. closed out 700 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido during the past eight days. Jose A. Lozano, who left for Tampa on the 25th of September, completed his buying trip with 2500 bales. A. M.

York, Pa., October 5. At the close of busine>s on Septem- ber 30th. the Revenue Office showed sales of stamps amounting to $89,000 representing an output in this division of 29,667,000. This is an increase of S2000 over the same month of last year, representing a gjiin in the pro- duction of 667,000. As compared with August of this year the increase in the sale of stamps was $5000, an increase in the production of ci'.i:'.rs of 1.334.- 000. During the past month there were also license the following fac- tories: United Cigar Manufacturers, C. C. McGuigan, Union Tobacco Co., Laure E. Ferree and Mary A. NefT, at Red Lion; Briggs & Stitley, XTross Roads; E. H. Neiman, Thf)mas- ville; Julian Hassan, Dallastovvn, and S. F. Aiken, Holtz. These figures show that the cigar trade is now getting into a much im- proved condition and the trade gener- ally feels much pleased with the results attained. The month of October has started ofi brilliantly and a continuing gain of stamp sales is noted. Among the farmers tobacco cutting has been going on by moonlight so as to get it housed before frost would overtake it. Considerable (piantities of leaf tobac- co has been sold lately by local dealers according to reports. G. W. Gable, of Windsor, reports business nnich improved, and that from a stock of 160 cases of cigars he had on hand, but a small proportion now remains, and orders are coming in <3aily. Other factories in that town also report increased activity. W. H. Snyder, of that place, is now quite busy. John A. Sterner, cigar manufacturer at Bandana, has been declared a bank- rupt, and the tirst meeting of creditors will be held at the office of J. Edward Vandersloot in York. Some important transactions in leaf tobacco have been consummated by A. M. Shcpp, of York, recently. Con- siderable quantities of 1908 leaf have been bought. The large cigar factory of Jacob A. Mayer & Bros., of North York, is running in full time now, and a large number of orders are being received almost daily. The employes of Miller Bros, cigar box factory at Red Lion are working overtime on account of rush orders in hand. S. R. Kocher, at Wrightsville, is having a good run now on his several established brands and present indica- tions look favorable for closing a tol- erably good year's business. W. U. Blessing & Co., at Hellam, have also been making some good shipments through the middle west. Lately they have turned their atten- tion especially to the production of a high class nickel cigar which is now meeting with favor at all points. E. B. Stoner, at Hellam, has been engaged in an extensive camjjaign on his products of smoking and chewing tobacco, and the goods have been l)laced with some of the most active distributers in the country. His trade is growing at a rapid rate. Charlie. BIG SMOKER FOR BIG MAN. Gen. Edwards Gets a Nine Pound Cigar from the Philippines. Washington. D. C, Oct. 2. Brigadier General Clarence R.

Among the week's visitors in the cigar trade we observe the f * Retail dealers note an increase in their business, and especially in that sec- tion of the city where the most volum- inous box trade is usually done. Some orders arc now being placed by them for holiday goods, and visiting sales- men are coming to town in increased numbers. * « * On page 13. of this issue, appears a special amiouncement of Luckett, Luchs & Lipscomb, Philadelphia's new- est cigar manufacturing tirm. and to which we invite the attention of every cigar man. As will be seen by the illustration shown in the announcement, the Rey- naldo brand is being put up in a truly ingenious style, which is as nni(pie as it is original. Numerous special holi- day boxes have appeared on the mar- ket from time to time, but this is the first instance in which a selection of standard Cuban sizes of cigars, all of one value, have been placed in one box. This is accomplished by having the 12 cigars increase in thickness as they di- minish in length. The Reynaldo is one of that firm's brands of (juality cigars, and is espec- ially calculated for connoisseurs, as it is termed the connoisseur's assortment. The cigars are entirely of Cuban hand- work made of the finest selections of 1 lavana leaf. The package in its entire get up is strikingly attractive and we predict for it a drawing card that will be fully re- numerative for the energy it portrays. * * * .\ tenii)orary organization in the re- tail cigar trade has now been formed, and which will be the nucleus of a per- manent association. .\ meeting was held at the offices of the Mayor on Tuesday afternoon last, which was at- tended by a fairly representative num- ber of retail dealers, and up<»n which occasion various connnittees were se- lected and who will now proceed with the formation of a regular organization. The committees are as follows: Organization — Herman Fischler, Chairman. Jos. Iv Tuck. N. W. Meade. Finance — Jos. E. Tuck. Chairman, N. W. Meade. Entertainment — C. B. Swift, Chairman. J. Harvey McHenry. Several other and additional commit- tees were also proposed, but were not fully completed. The members chosen to these committees have the power to add to their number as they see fit. It is proposed to hold a smoker at an early date to which retailers will be in- vited, and then it will be pointed out to them that an organization of such a nature would be of vast benefit to the trade in this city. * * « Once again the voice of K. B. Rob- ertson, than whom there is probably not a better known character in the re- tail trade, has raised his voice in the interest of the cause of the retail dealer in cigars, etc. In a statement that is being circulated about the city, Mr. Robertson again i)laces the blame of the shameful persecutions of ptior cigar dealers throughout the city a couple of years ago, for selling their wares on Sunday, to Mr. Gibboney's order, as an official of the Law and Order Society. There are hundreds of retailers who still vividly remember how Mr. Robert- son took up the defense of the perse- cuted, and by bringing before the Bar TRADE MARKS REGISTERED. The Tobacco World, established in i88r, has maintained a Bureau for the purpose of Registering and Publishing claims of the adoption of Trade Marks and Brands for Cigars, Cigarettes, Smoking and Chewing Tobacco, and Snuff. All Trade Marks to be registered and published should be addressed to the Tobacco World Publishing Co., 224 Arch street, Philadelphia, accompanied by . the necessary fee, unless special arrangements have been made. Cost of Registration, Certificate and Publication is $1 for each Trade Mark. For Searching a title which does no result in registration, 25 cents. For transferring and Publishing Transfer of Registration, 50 cents. For issuing Duplicate Certificate, 50 cents. Applicants should be careful to fully specify the use of desired Trade Mark.

WHAT IS DOING IN LANCASTER. Old Leaf Still Meets Some Demand. No Actual Sales Yet Reported of the '09. Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 5tli. There was again some trading in the 1908 g(»()ds during the past week, in which ex-Sheriflf A. H. Hershey, a well known leaf dealer, figured prominently, but it was perhaps a little less active than during the previous weeks of the latter part of September Smith & Frey. of Bainbridgc, are reported to have sold the major portion of their packing and Fritz Bros., of Strass- burg, have sold their packing of some 500 cases. Cutting is still in progress and the crops are being harvested very rapidly. Some of the farmers in fear of having a frost, hired large forces of men and worked by the moonlight c)f last week in getting their crops into the shed. It is stated that the late crops which were allowed to remain out later than is usual made considerable progress during the last few weeks and it is now believed that the crops will probably represent about 60 per cent, of an aver- age production. 14 The material advancement of prices on IQ07 tobacco seems to have resulted in a temi)orary lull in the demand for those goods, and yet so far as has been ascertained there has been no ac- tual buying of the 1909 crops. Several suits have been recently brought against the Martin Kinports Cigar Mfg. Co., at Manheim, which it appears grew out of the purchase of some goods l)y an emjjloyee withoitt the i)roper authorization of the Com- pany officials. The purchasing was done at a retail establishment which the company maintains in one of the inland towns of the State, and in at least one of the actions they secured a verdict in their favor. The revenue receipts of the Ninth District for the month of September show stamp sales of $iqo,36^-33; to- bacco, $2,344.38. This is an increase over the month of August oi $12,592.21. The production as represented by these figures was for the month of Septem- ber. 63.454.110. The increase over August was 4,- 197.400. Chas. S. PeifTer, a cigar manufactur- er at Slouchsburg. has i)nrchased a cigar factory building at Myerstown, formerly occui)ied by .\. S. Valentine & Son. of VVomelsdorf, and he will oc- cupy it in the near future. E. L. Nisrly. the extensive leaf to- bacco packer at Florin, has just finish- ed housing 110 acres of tobacco of the new crop, and which was amf)ng the finest crops grown in the county this vear. Business at the warehouses has been going on steadily and consider- able (|uantities of goods have been shi])i)e(l out during the past month to customers, some of whom have been securing" their supplies from Mr. NisS' ly for many years. I. li. Weaver, of this city, recently returned from a trip of inspection in the Ohio tobacco centres and reporJkS conditions there quite satisfactory. W. H. McLaughlin, of this city, leaf packer, has removed to new warehouse headtpiarters in the Weil Building at 42 and 44 N. Water street. The lona Tobacco Co., of this city, is making a thorough renovation of their building on North Charlotte st., both interior and exterior. The con- tracts n(»w eflfected bring out more fully the elegant fitting of their offices which are among the most commodi- ous in Lancaster. .\t the cigar factory of Walter S. Bare, (»f Lititz, there is noted a tone of vastly increased activity lately. The Doctor cigar which is the great leader in the nickel variety, is fast be- coming a standard bearer for many a successful dealer in many parts of the country. A. D.

Pa., October 4. Factories in this vicinity are at present operating with full forces, and everyone seems highly encouraged with the prospects. Leaf dealers aLso report that the general conditions among cigar manufacturers are better than they had been, and in conse- quence there is more tobacco moving. Another safe barometer of the cigar trade conditions is the activity or in- activity of the cigar box makers. At present they are having a fair run of business, which simply verities the claim that the cigar industry itself is in a better condition. Haller & Whitccraft, a young cigar manufacturing concern of this city, who have been making pretty good progress since they started as a firm, are still extending their operations. They now have an average output of about is.noo cigars per week, which are distributed through Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. M. Stcppacher, the veteran cigar manufacturer of this city, has had a prolonged stay in Kurope this year, and in his absence the business was conducted by his son Walter, who has been with his father for some years now, thoroughly mastering all the de- tails of the business. Hamilton Godfrey, who has become known as a wizard in the cigar trade in Reading, has lately been perform- ing some more stunts in the line of record-breaking cigar bargains. A fair trade is being enjoyed by both jobbers and retailers. Of course, they arc necessarily more limited in tlic possibilities of development of their business, as they must expect to draw their trade almost wholly from the local territory. W. W. Stewart & Sons have been making some good-sized shipments of their leading brands, especially the John Hay. Their Eli Perkins is also a strong leader with many dealers hereabouts and is keeping the factory on the move steadily. Gnidaer. TAXES LOWERED. United Cigar Stores Company Wins in Minneapolis Court. .Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 30. The personal property tax assess- ment of the United Cigar Stores Co. has been reduced from $20,000 to $18, (^66 by order of Judge J. D. Smith, of the District Court. The order reducing the assessment was made on a showing by John B. Atwater. attorney for the company, who said the assessment was arbi- trary. The company lunl been assess- ed on stocks and bonds which are not in the State of Minnesota, he said. Mr. Atwater explained that the headquarters of the company are in New York and that no offices arc maintained in Minneapolis. The com- pany's six stores here are managed by clerks, he said, and each day the re- ceipts are sent to a branch office in Chicago. No bank account is kept in Minneapolis. The tax fixed by the Court was sat- isfactory to Elmer Gray, Assistant County Attorney. The amount rep- resents the stock and fixtures only, as the company owns no real estate in the city.

David iJreiincr, who represents the firm in Connecticut, is taking in tlie Hudson Fulton celebration in Xew York this week. Wile & Co. carry a ji^eneral line of leaf, the bulk of their trade being in the country. They are tli<' holders of some desirable Connecti- cut Hroadleaf which they pack them- selves in the warehouse in Hartford, Conn. Egerton & Joel, the old leaf firm. have for the past few years been m uc- ing a si)ecialty of packing Ohio tillers and importing Havana. They have a good trade with some of our large local cigar factories. Mr. Kgerton contemplates going to Cuba in "a month or so to purchase of the new crop, which is said to be very fine. Edward Kaufman. 51 Kneelaml street, wholesale and retail tobaccon- ist, although only in business a few years, has worked up a good business in union and independent-made brands of cigars, tobaccos and cig- arettes. Mr. Kaufman uses as a lead- er in 5-cent cigars the i)opul:ir Kim Smoker, manufactured by J. Altshuler. Messrs. Bernstein & Criddenburg. who recently opened a cigar and to bacco store at 23 Fanucil Hall Sciuare, in the market district, have started cigar manufacturing on the premises. They are offering their patrons a hand-made panatclla-shape cigar for 5 cents that is guaranteed to be full Havana. This ofTer has proved a big advertising card and they are doing a rushing business. Xat. Ives. Xew England representa- tive of the United States Tobacco Company, reports a good business throughout the entire section, espe- cially down Maine. Business is bet- ter this year than it has been for many years ])ast. Mandle Bros.. wh<^ operate a cut- price cigar and tobacco store at 22 Cambridge street, have purchased the E()ml)ard Cigar Store, on Court street, which is an old-established store.

Should Follow Treasury Department Or- ders as to Custom Classification. Wasliinii;t..n, I). C. Oct. 9. Strict iiistructitiiis for a i)r(>j)er cus- toms classification of tobacco, with re- sulting bcneth in the government reve- nue, were issued yesterday by the act- ing secretary of the treasury, Mr. Hiiles. The action follows advices that recent exann'nations of tobacco in- voiced as fdler have disclosed a con- siderable ([uantity of wrapper in the shipments. Wrapper tobacco, which is leaf tf)- bacco suitable for cigar wrapi)ers, is taxed $1.85, as is llller tobacco when mixed or packed with more than 15 I)er cent, of wrapper t l;:icco, but un- stemmed llller tobp.cco with less than 15 per cent, of wrajjper is taxed only 35 cents. Treasury officials have believed for some time that the government is not getting all the duty that it should re- ceive on wrai)per tobacco and seizures will be made in any cases of fraud. The instructions direct that when an examination of packages order into the appraisers' stores shows one per Cent, or more of wrapper in each of two or more bales, examination shall be made of a further ([uantity ecpial to the original number of packages desig- nated for examination. If upon exami- nation of the additional (juantity tw(^ or more bales are found t(j contain each one per cent, or more of wrapjjer, the entire importation will be examined. AFTER BIG UNION CIGAR PLANT Lebanon Hopes to Get the Largest Union Factory in the World. Lebanon, Pa., Oct. 8. Local cigarmakers, and especially members of the Lebanon Union, No. 64. of which Frank Flocken is secre- tary, are much interested in the plans now' l)eing considered by one of the largest cigar manufacturing concerns in the United States. If carried out it means that Lebanon may before very long have the distinction of hav- ing the largest Union cigar factory in the country. Representatives of the firm, who pre- fer not to have their i)lans and names given out to the public at this time, have been looking over the field here, and are in touch with the of^cers of the Cigarmakers* Local Union, who say that all depends on the number of union workmen that it is possible to secure to encourage the new concern to locate in this city. The new c<»ncern, should it be decid- ed to enter Lebanon, would, it is said, employ from 500 to 1000 cigarmakers, it is stated. Philippine Smokers, Shipped via Hong Kong, Denied Free Entry to U. S. Washington. I). C, Oct. 9. Twelve million cigars manufactured in the Philii)i)ines, and intended by the United Cigar Stores Company for im- IJortation into the United States, are in bond at Hong Kong, unable to ob- tain free entry into this country. The tariff bill provides that free entry of Philippine i)roducts into the United States "shall be conditioned upon the direct shi])ment thereof from the coun- try of origin to the country of destina- tii Ml." When .\ssistant Secretary Reynolds, of the Treas^ury Department, ruled that these cigars could not be entered free into the United States, the United Ci- gar Stores Company appealed to Presi- dent Taft. He sustained Mr. Reynolds. Now the United Cigar St(jres Company l)roposes to take the case into the courts. Several weeks ago the officials charg- ed with the safe enactment of Philip- pine free trade legislation announced that they had di.scovered that it was proposed to import into the United States. large quantities of Philippine ci- gars of inferior quality, which had been manufactured by Chinese in IVLanila. They were perturbed at this news, for they felt that these cigars first flooding the American market would give tht public unacquainted with first-class Philippine cigars a false idea of their ((uality. Therefore, a plan was adopted o{ giving the guarantee of the insular gov- ernment as to the sanitary manufacture of Pliilii)i)iiK' cigars. Those which are made in the first-class factories will be backed by the word of the insular gov- ernment and the others will be at a disadvantage. Even if the case pend- ing is decided adversely to the govern- ment, it is felt that the desired (.bject will have been obtained. FLORIDA'S "BLUE" SUNDAY. A. S. of E. in Vernon County Will Hold Out for Fourteen Cents. Viroqua, Wis., Oct. 8. A $100,000 tobacco pool, said to con- trol $750,000 worth of 1908 tobacco, has been formed by the American So- ciety of E(iuity at Viroqua, the centre of the W^isconsin tobacco growing country. The crop is being stored in a ware- house erected for the society, and all but the "filler" is held for an average of 14 cents. Farmers- in the pool ex- pect to profit $.')0,0()0 over last year through the operation. In case buyers for the Tobacco Tru.st fail to make acceptable offers the tobacco will be taken into the open market. THE TRADE IN PROVIDENCE. Cigar Trade is Making Satisfactory Gains in "Little Rhody." P'rovidence, R. I.. Qct. 7. A few years ago there were few large tobacco stores in Providence, but now the city numbers many which make a specialty of these goods and which handle an enormous volume of business during the year. Several local concerns which started in a small way have attained immense proportions and the city is now a distributing centre for not only Rhode Island, but portions of Massachusetts and Connecticut. With the increase in the use of cigars it might be expected that there would be a falling off in smoking tobacco and pipes, but several concerns in the cen- tre of the city report a constantly in- creasing business in these lines, and the money spent for cigars and other tobacco products in the city amounts to Inuidreds of thousands of dollars. NEW LOOSE LEAF HOUSE. Frank D. Lewis will engage in the cigar business at Stevcnsville, Mont, closed Stores Shut Tight, and No Newspapers, Bread or Cigars Sold. Pensacola, Fla.. Oct. to. To-day was blue Sunday in Pensaco- la. the Law and Order League enforc- ing the Florida laws passed 50 years ago, relating to Sunday law violations to the letter. Not even a ncw.spapcr or cigar could be purchased, while those housekeepers who failed to provide themselves with bread and neglected their marketing Saturday had to rely upon restaurants for their Sunday dinner. Meat markets, bakeries, fruit stands, cigar stands, book and newspaper stores, theatres and other classes of business, heretofore wide open, kept Property Secured in Frankfort, Ky., for Independent Sales. Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 9. .\ loose leaf tobacco warehouse, where the farmers of Franklin and surriumding counties can sell their crops, is to be established in Frankfort, and it will mean that many thousands of dollars will be put in circulation in this city, all of which formerly went to Lexington or Louisville. The tobacco which will be sold here will be crops that are not in the Hurley pool, as the pooled tobacco is sold through the Bur- ley Society at Winchester, and is han- dled in the Hurley warehouse. Tom C. (jcary, formerly of Lexing- ton, has leased the skating rink in Frankfort for warehouse i)urposes for a ])eriod of two years, with the privi- lege at the end of that time for three years. The deal has been on for sev- eral weeks, but is now finally closed. Mr. Geary is in the business alone, but has ample backing, and expects to make a success of the venture.

Higher prices for Vuelta Abajo leaf in iQio will be a new h;indicnp for our manu- facturers to contend against, so unless the connnission which is studying how to help the cigar industry should pro- pose soinethinu- oriuinal and i:)ractic- able, the situation is ratlier alarming. and particularly for the smaller manu- facturers who are working upon a lim- ited capital.

El Siboney cigarette factory has bought 4500 bales of Vuelta Abajo colas. Sobrinos de A. Gon/.ale/ had a good \Veek. as they sold 1615 bales of all kinds of leaf. Sidney L. Goldbery, while here only ten days, as he left on Saturday by the S. S. Saratoga, made excellent use of his time, visiting the Vuelta Abajo and Partido sections, besides selecting .such vegas from our local dealers that were priceworthy. He reports his to- tal purchase as having reached 1300 bales. B. Diaz & Company were sellers of 1500 bales f)f Vuelta Aliajo and Partido. Moritz Xeuberger left on Saturday by the S. S. Saratoga for New York. From a good reliable source it was as- certained that he had purchased during his three weeks" stay here nearly 5000 bales of all kinds of leaf for the Amer- ican and European markets. As Don Mauricio is a tpiick buyer and thor- ough judge of line quality leaf, it stands to reason that he must have se- k^cted the cream of the 19CK; crop. The lirm of Heinrich Neuberger has also several packings of their own in the Santa Clara Province, and which have turned out to their entire satisfaction, as Don Federico Lederer was in charge of the buying of the leaf in bundles and had the supervision of the esco- jidas. Their shipments to Bremen dur- ing the last two weeks amounted to W).S4 bales. In their sjiacious ware- house, at No. 15 Monte street, an ac- cident occurred last week, by the slip- I)ing of a large supp«irting ir(.n beam which precipitated several hundred bales from the upiier to the lower H<»ors. One »)f the vv(»rkmen was caught, but fortunately escaped without injury, as the woodwcjrk and the bales formed an arch over him. AL Abella. formerly a partner of Aixala & Comi^any, has been estab- ished on his own acct)unt since last summer at 25 Salud street, and has been doing (piite a fair business, as he has a thorough knowledge of buying leaf tobacco and knows how to handle liis .American customers. During the month of SeptendK'r he sold 1291 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Semi- Vuelta, Partido and Remedios. T. II. Vetterlein was a buyer of 1000 bales of leaf during his stay here. Suarez Hnos. were sellers of 935 bales of Vuelta .\bajo and Remedios. Puente. Granda & Company turned ':v;'r Tn^ bnles of Parlidft an 1 Remedios last week to their customers. lien. Rothschild hardly tarried a week here, but it was sufficient time to se- lect some 500 bales of fine Vuelta Aba- jo and Partido leaf. A. M. Calzada & Company were very busy with two customers last week, to whom they ha\e sold so far 550 bales of their choice Remedios packing. Sylvester & Stern were buyers in our market last week to the time of 1000 bales. Perez & Obeso dis])osed of 450 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. Felix Eckerson is still here and may remain another week. He has been in the Santa Clara Province, and also looking over the holdings in our mar- ket. Up to now his purchases aggre- gate about 550 bales. Muniz Hnos. & Company closed out 400 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Reme- dios. Richard Sichel left last Saturday by the S. S. Saratoga, after having worked hard and conscientiously for nearly three weeks in trying to spot vegas for the customers of B. Rosenbluth, New York. He did not purchase as much in (|uantity as he intended to do, but whatever may be lacking in this re- spect, the lots cannot be excelled in quality by any other buyer. He cer- tainly bought at rock bottom prices, as he is a close l)uyer and understands the value and conditions of our market from A. to Z. It is reported that he has purchased between 500 and 600 bales. Herrera, Calmet & Company sold 400 bales of Remedios last week. F. Escalante. Angel L. Cuesta, Se- bastian Solares. J. Hirsch and F. Bo- lano were (luite liberal buyers, but no exact ligures could be obtained as to the mnnber of bales taken by each. E. Ellinger & Company were sellers of 200 bales of Partido last week. J. Moonelis. of Fred Schulz's Son, left last week with 400 bales to the good of his firm. Albert W. Kaffenburgh went, on the 1st of October, to Manicaragua to in- spect their cscojidas in that section, as well as those in other i)arts of the Santa Clara Province. Charles Blasco's large warehouse at No. T O'Reilly street was a scene of great activity, as the tobacco coming in. the bailing and shipping, and the large nunil)er of buyers who could be seen daily, examining tobacco, denoted that business must be flourishing.

OPTIMISTIC IN YORK COUNTY. 1909 Tobacco Crop All Cut and Housed, Looking for Good Prices. York. Pa.. October 9, 1909. The big Ytjrk fair, which chased yesterday. aff«)rded an excellent (jp- portunity to interview a number of farmers who are tobacco growers. From a general conversation, it is learned that practically all the tobac- co is housed, and in many instances, much of it is dried. The estimate as to size of the crop continues to vary. Some claim that the crop will make redicted in our columns last week, a new record has again been established for the month of September. The output of cigars in this district during the month of September, as shown by the returns of stamp sales, was .>(i,647,Gl(). During the corre- sponding month of 1908 the produc- tion was only ;{9,2.').'5,()00. Showing a gain of ]7,:{92,00() as compared with the corresponding month of 1908. In comparison with the output of Au- gust of this year, however, there was a decrease of about a half-million cigars. In the production of other tobacco products there was also some in- crease shown as compared with the corresponding month of last year, al- though less notable. « * • Manufacturers are making prepara- tions for a continued active business throughout the remainder of this year, and in instances increased facilities arc required. For instance, the Theobold & Oppcnheimer Co. are erecting a large new factory at Quakertown, which it has become necessary in or- der to meet the growing demand for Iheir product. * * ♦ Luckett, Luchs & Lipscomb are al- ready among the busier factories, and the recent trip to some of the more important western points, which have been visited by Mr. Luckett, has re- sulted in the enlistment of a goodly 12 number of very desirable distributing accounts for their product. Locally tlicir goods arc also being received with much favor and already orders are duijlicated. This should be en- couragir.g evidence of the satisfac- tion which their product is giving the consumer. * m * Overtime is the rule with a number of factories at present, as the accumu- lation of stock during the duller period has already been so largely drawn upon tliat overtime was the only way i>y which they expect to be able to continue prompt shipments. * * * T.

So. as to bring cedar direct frttui the forests (if Cuba and Mexic;) an;l manufacture it into cigar box lumber without going througli tlu- expensive New York stt)ring and sawing, one of the largest cedar mills in the country has just been comi)leted by the Henry II. Sheip Manufacturing Company, ad- joining their plant in Philadelphia. This is the latest of thre big factories that this concern has put up in the last two years, making their establishment with its latest and most improved types of machinery, the big new concrete dry kilns, and the extensive yards for air- drying, the largest and model one of its kind in .\merica. This newest building was put up dur- ing the past summer. The cost of im- porting cedar logs through New York had long been one of the worst prt)b- lems of the business to contend with. There were not only heavy storage charges, but there was also the expense of the lighterage and measuring, with the few saw mills preferring to saw other woods than cedar. Determined to overcome these handicaps, the Sheip Cfmipany was practically com- pelled to erect its own saw mill. A vacant lot, purchased several years ago and utilized for storage of lumber, was chosen for the site of the new saw mill. It adjoins the Sheip plant to the north. The building was put up in record time, and installed with up-to- date machinery. Some of the machin- ery put in consists of five large veneer saws, one drag saw and one large band mill. These are supplemented by three other band mills, four band ripping mills, two circular saw mills, and a battery of fourteen planers and four scrapers, all t)f which had fijrmed part of the previous eciuipment. With this machinery, with twenty or more dry kilns, and with several acres of air- drying space, the Sheip Company is prepared to manufacture, direct from the log to the box, the finest Spanish cedar in the world at the lowest pos- sible Cf)St. It is the intention of the concern to contract for its supply of logs to be im- ported direct to Philadelphia. A cargo of wood can easily be loaded at Cuban or Mexican ports and brought up the Delaware river almost to the doors of their mills. Two new yards for the storage of logs have been secured. Such cedar as comes into New York can also be easily shipped to Philadel- phia, as the loading from ship to cars can be accomplished easily and without extra cost. So as to be ready to start as soon as the new mills were com- pleted, the new yards were filled with logs a month ago, and the big saws are now rapidly working away at this sup- ply trying to meet the present enor- mous demand for cedar from all parts of the country. "We intend to build up still more our reputation of furnishing the finest cedar in the United States,"' said Mr. Sheip, the President of the Company! "We already have that reputation, as wc can prove by letters from lumdreds of cigar box manufacturers, who have bought from us for years past. They tell us that they can always depend on getting good wood from us, and that we stand ready to guarantee it. One m we make br)xes, lo](| inc the other day that he was willing to pay a cent more per box if necessary to get our boxes, rather than go elsewhere and buy an inferior box cf cheap wood. Of course, he does ivtt pay a cent extra and will not have t-o. Hut that is the sort of a reputation wc arc after, and we want to have the same kind of things said about our lumber. Now that we are responsible for its entire^ manufacture, from the \ug to the thin board, or even the measured shook, we are going to see that we get the good reputation." BETTER FEELING IN LANCASTER. No Change Reported in the Leaf Market; 1908 Tobacco Still Has the Call. Lancaster, Pa., Oct. ii, 1909. Last week was the closing period of activity on the farms growing tobac- co, and the crops are all housed. Al- though this has removed all anxiety as to the crop in the field; but sool^ will begin anxieties anew, for the cur- ing process will soon begin, and that will then develop more fully the real characteristics of this year's crops, but the outcome cannot yet be told. There have been no changes of note in the condition of the leaf market. Transactions were almost wholly con- fined to the 1908 goods, and several sales were again reported. One firni of cigar manufacturers, of Philadel- phia, recently bought here some 800 cases of 1908 tobacco. The cigar industry is still gaining, and in numerous instances the forces of cigarmakers are being increased. Everyone seems expectant of a rush for goods, as the holiday season ap- proaches. There still seems to exist a lethargy in the demand for the cheaper product, but the makers of higher grades of cigars arc at present enjoying a good run of business with chances of continuing improvement. The Lancaster County Tobacco Growers' Association will meet to-day in the A. Herr Smith Building, at 125 North Duke street. Topics of more than ordinary interest are to be dis- cussed, and new constitution and by- laws are to be presented. The case of P. E. Slaymaker, trans- feree of Charles J. Ledcrman against the Nissly Leaf Tobacco Company, has recently occupied the attentipn of the Court. No decision has yet been reached. Agents of F. C. Linde, Hamilton & Company, have sampled the packing of leaf tobacco put up by Johns & Gehman, at Akron, of the 1908 crop. Gish Brothers, of Elizabethtown, have sold 160 cases of packing of 1906 tobacco recently. The price has not been given out. Suit has been entered against a number of Insurance Companies by Charles W. Ritner of this city for their refusal to pay certain insurance on the tobacco warehouse and its contents de- stroyed by fire some time ago. The aggregated amount sued for is $68,- 000. # I I ! 1 • I J For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes, go to Established 1880 Monroe D. Sellers, KEYSTONE CIGAR BOX CO..

Cigar Business Steady in Detroit; State Contest Between "Wets" and "Drys" Interests Tobacco Men. Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World," 591 Campbell Avenue. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 11. The local cigar business continues in practically the same volume, manufac- tures, while having plenty to do, report- ing no special rush of business. The demand, however, shows an improve- ment over the last few weeks, the cool- er weather having a stimulating effect on the trade. Because of the notice- able increase in orders manufacturers believe cold weather will bring a de- cidedly better trade, and they are mak- ing preparations accordingly. The wholesale trade, in so far as the city and immediate district is . con- -cerned, is good. Detroit and her sur- roundings have never felt the effect of a local option wave, and this has played an important part in the trade. Detroit tobacco men are keenly inter- ested in the fight which will be waged next spring between the "wet" and "dry" forces. The Prohibitionists de- clare they will make a clean sweep of the several counties in which the ques- tion will be submitted, while the antis are just as determined to regain lost ground. From our standpoint it is nearly a stand-off, the odds being slightly in favor of the prohibitionists. This opinion is oflfered because of the prohibitionists' previous victories, and the fact that the movement is yet new in the State. Needless to say, whole- sale tobacco dealers, manufacturers, brought before him a heavy sentence r.nd all other tobacco men are with the would be meted out. ^^^^^- Harry Marks will open a cigar store The retail trade continues in about ,,1 Marine City, the same volume. There has been no great rush of business, yet, at the , same time, dealers have had little time to stand around and comment on cur- rent events.

MEXICAN CIGARETTES. Herman B. Schlesinger, a wholesale^ tobacco dealer, with offices in New York, Havana and Mexico City, while in Washington lately, said that during last year Mexico produced 600,000,000 packages of cigarettes. "The cigarettes." said Mr. Schles- inger. "are done up in small rectan- gular packages, containing from four- teen to sixteen cigarettes, and each package weighs from eighteen to twenty grams, according to the vari- ety of cigarette it contains. The smalt packages retail from 2J^ to 5 cents each. There are larger packages, con- taining from twenty-five to fifty cigar- ettes, that are sold for from 55 to 82 cents each. "The cigarettes are of very good quality." continued Mr. Schlesinger, "even excellent, when they come from the more important factories, owing to the careful selection of leaves of dif- ferent origin used in blending, and also to the special care in washing the leaves of various kinds, which, while first of all cleaning them, also takes away the excess of nicotine so dis- agreeable in certain tobaccos manu- factured elsewhere. The Mexican ci- gar is generally smoked, and it is also expensive. A good cigar is worth about 13 cents, which is the usual price." —Mrs. W. T. Donovan, W. H. Finn, P. T. Donovan and E. J. Gildard, St! Albans, Vt., are negotiating for the formation of a corporation which will conduct the wholesale and retail busi- ness owned by W. T. Donovan, at the tune of his death. 15 ') ^^4 ETHE TOBACCO W O R L D ^^^ For Gentlemen of Oood Taste 5-S^N FELieE-?

Of late the boy from Rosenthal Hrotli- crs goes to the theatre and delivers 50 of the Specials packed in fortieths and stays to see the show, and a half hour later another boy from Rosen- thals will go in with another 50 packed in fortieths and also remains in to see llu- show. Jim says it is now nearing holiday time, and he is going to be on the outlook, as he is fearful that the R. H. Special will be packed in eight- ieths (12 in a box), and he presumes it will take a half dozen boys to de- liver him the one hundred cigars. . .\rrested on complaint of Secretary Henry Abrahams, of the Cigarmakers' International Union. No. 97. for using the union label unlawfully on cigar boxes. J()sei)h Bevvjamin. an aged cigar manufacturer, of Chelsea, was arraign- ed in the Municipal Court here on Thursday. The labor union claims llenjamin runs what is known as a cigar academy, where young men and girls are taught the cigarmaking in", dustry. and that he has no right to use the blue label, but has done so and sold cigars in boxes bearing the label. Sev- eral months ago Mr. Benjamin had a similar trouble with the union, and was fined $100 by the Collector of In- ternal Revenue here. A. L. Myers (Melachrino & Com- pany) has returned from a very suc- cessful trij), and says the new si^e, No. 20, is now selling big all over his territory. Mortimore Ferguson ha3 been engaged by the concern to repre» sent them in western Massachusetts with head(|uarters at Springfield. Louis Shapiro (Nestor Gianacles Comi)any) leaves to-night on a week's trip to Vermont and New Hampshire. Courtney K. Perkins is doing display work this week in Connecticut. Jack Warsaw (Phillip Morris Com- pany) has been canvassing the trade this week in Hartford, Conn. Kid Nichols is expected back here this week from his trip. Andy Chandler (Turco-.Xmerican To« bacco Company) has his crew here busy at Work on the Astron cigarette. Handsome window displays of this brand are beitig made throughout the city, and the Astron cigarettes are very nuich in demand. This brand is being made u]) in cork tip. straw and gold tij) fashion, and the latter style is greatly patronized by the female THE TOBACCO W O R L D '^^^^ >C • Telephone Call, 432—B Office and Warehouse: Florin, Pa.

It is now called the Smokers" Haven. Sam. H. Harris, who was formerly president of the Khedivial Company, New York, has sent circulars to the trade announcing that he has started in the cigar manufacturing business in New York, making a line of line ci-. gars — "The kind your Daddy bought," being his motto. Mr. Altgeld, representing Schinasi Brothers, is in town hjoking after the sale of Naturals and Prettiest cigar- ettes. The new 5c cork tip cigarette Sou- clan, manufactured by the Lunbrug Company, of New York, has made its Boston debut. Stogies are selling very well here. especially the R. W.

His live acres produced 6000 pounds of tobacco, all of the wrapper variety. The curing process is in charge of Mr. Shackel- ford, an expert sent here for that purpose. The crop of filler tobacco is far short of the demand; in fact, 100,()()() pounds of filler such as has been grown in this county could be dis- posed of at this time at a good mar- gin of ])rotit if it was only here. The home-grown and manufactured cigars put on the market by Charles Rawls some months ago have been good sellers from the first day of sale, and to make the Perry tobaccos more popular only requires more in vestment and more growers. COB PIPES FROM OHIO FIELDS. Their Manufacture Adds to the Profits from Thousands of Acres. Probably not one smoker in a hun- dre 1 who likes the "real American pipe" — the corncob — is aware of the lact that whole acres in Ohio and Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska are devoted to raising corn for the espe cial purpose of producing cobs suit able for fashioning into pipe bowls. '1 he grain itself is marketed, of course, but the cob on which it grows i-> the real harvest, and is cut carefully into proper lengths, smoothed and polished, the soft inner pulp being gouged out by specially-constructed machinery. It is possible to buy a set of corn- cob pipes, in a nest of six, with an amber mouthpiece, mounted in silver, that will cost as much as $7.50. The growing of corn for cobpipe purposes and the manufacture of the pipes by machinery are the conception of one (jf the Tobacco Trust's experts. PHiLTPPINE IMPORTATIONS. ' The Bureau of Statistics of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor is- siiel a bullet in last week concerning the importations from the Philippine Islands into the United States during August: Cigars, cigarettes and cher- oots entering from the Philii)pines in -August, 15)09, were valued at $17,42:5, but of this total $:5O08 entered during the first five days of August, and therefore still subject to and required to pay a duty. The free importations of cigars, cigarettes and cheroots from the Philippines during August, 1909, was thus $]4,:].5r, and the dutiable im- ports during the five days in which the old law was still in effect, $30G8. rAHUSSEvl lEMTOMCCOai THE T OBACCO WORLD ^^» THE BEST ORGANIZED MOST COMPLETE AND LARGEST 7V\AIL ORDEK LEAF TOBACCO ESTABLISHMENT IM r AMERICA NEW YORK CHICAGO ST.

Tlu' ti>hacc() industry is making won- derful strides in Tennessee, and not < nly are the i)ri)ducing sections profit- ing greatly by means of its increase, Init the Government is also a gainer. United States Revenue Collector R. S. Shar]) yesterday says: "Tiiere has been a great increase in the growth of t )l)acco during the past \e;T or so. There are some sections of the .State which heretofore have been c. nsidered barren, which now produce good tobacco. "Tliere is considerable of tobacco be- no: grown in the vicinity of Greene- ville and around Tullahoma. Until a year or so ago it was not thought to- bacco could be grown there successful- ly, and no effort was made in that direciion. "In the revenue office here we^ are ah'c to tell in an accurate manner « ::s to the increase l)ecause of the re- ciipis. We kn )w there has been a great increase. And we know also that it meaiT^ greater prosi)erity for Tennessee, f(tr it brings more money into the State. At the i)resent rate ( f increase Tennessee bids fair to be reckoned among the best of the tobac- c ) i)roducing States." AGAIN OPEN FOR BUSINESS. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 7. The plant of the American Tobacco Company at the corner of South Upper and Holivar streets, which has been practically closed for the past two years on account of cutting out the 1908 crop, in the Hurley district, has opened its doors for business, and will put several buyers on the local market the coming season. The sales on South Broadway will not open until about November i, after which the company will begin receiving tobacco, but the preliminary arrangements for handling the crop are in progress.

WARE-KRAMER CO. BANKRUPT. Independent Norfolk Concern Sued the American Tobacco Co. for Damages. RichiiKjnd, Va., Oct. 14. Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., in the United States Circuit Court here to- day placed the Ware-Kramer Tobac- co Company, of Norfolk, Va., in in- voluntary bankruptcy. This concern, which conducted an independent cigar- ette manufacturing business, recently sued the .\merican Tobaccf) Company and the Wells-Whitehead Tobacco Company, at Raleigh. N. C, for puni- tive damage of $1,000,000 for alleged acts damaging to the i)hiintiff com- pany in violation of the Federal Anti- Trust laws. Judge Waddill appointed R. T. Thorpe, of Norfolk. Va., receiver for the bankrupt concern. The petition was hied at Norfolk by Robert L. Don- ovan and others of New York, and al- leges preference of creditors. E. B. Ware is president of the Ware- Kramer Company, which was chartered under the laws of Virginia, and moved its factory from Wilson, N. "C, to Nor- folk in 1906. It was chartered in North Carolina in 1904. POOL THE 1909 CROP. State Commissioner of Agriculture Thus Advises Kentucky Farmers. Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 14. Interest in the closing week of the tobacco pooling camjKiign will be fur- ther heightened by a vigorous appeal issued by State Commissioner of Ag- riculture Rankin to the farmers of Kentucky, asking them to pool their crops. Rankin's action is construed as in direct opposition to a statement re- cently issued by Governor A. E. Willson advising the independents to stand by their guns, and assuring any man who chooses to market his crop as he i)leases of the Governor's pro- tection. The Governor also gave as- surance of pardon to any man who might be compelled to shed blood in defending his home or property against night-riders. Commissii^ner Rankin urges the farmers to extend their co-operative movement. REWARD OFFERED FOR FIREBUG. Durham, N, C, Oct. 14. . A reward of $11K) has been offered for the arrest and conviction of the incendiary who fired the storehouse of C. M. Lawrence in Chatham Coun- ty, twelve miles from Durham. Nine barns of tobacco were burned. Near the destroyed house another, with eight barns of tobacco, ignited, but did not burn. Loss of $1,500 on to- bacco, covered by insurance, but the building was not insured. E. A. Calves & Co.HaVANA, 123 NorthJ^hj^rd^Street ....IMPORTERS of ^^^^ THE TOBACCO WORLD "^ J.

The attorneys for the tobacco people were unwilling to consent to this, as they had made full preparation to begin, one of them coming all the way from England to be present at the open- ing of the case to-day. The Court consented, however, and reassigned the case for December 13th, to follow the case already set for that date. This movement came as a great surprise to everyone connected with the matter. For some time it has been rumored here that the Attorney General is j^ersonally interested in the case, and that he would appear be- fore the Court in person to present the argument for the Government. The brief in the case has not been tiled, although it was known that it had been prepared. Advance copies Visconsin Tobacco L. B. CARLE & SON Packers and Dealers JANESVILLE, WIS. EDWARD E.

Moody, Frank F. Foll- kehn and David Mayer, all of Chi- cago. — The Southwestern Wholesale Co. has opened /or business at their new (luartcrs. at 106 North Mosley ave- nue. Wichita, Kans. It is the only firm in the Southwest which deals ex- clusively in the wholesale cigar trade. Five traveling men will be employed. — The Fields-Hamlctt Tobacco Co., Fulton, Ky., has just secured the big Regie tobacco contract to prize to- bacco for the Italian government. This firm has secured this contract for the past four or five years. Last year they prized 2,752 hogsheads, or about 4.500.(KK) pounds of tobacco. — R. W. Nagle, owner of the Xaglc building, at Seventh and Turner streets, Allentown, Pa., has leased the second and third floors to the Allen R. Cressman Sons, cigar manufactu- rers, of Philadelphia, with branches at Sellersville and South Bethlehem. They will make the standard Coun- sellor brand of the firm. — The Pinkerton Tobacco Company will remove its Cincinnati branch to Toledo, in order to reduce operating expenses. The American Tobacco Company will take over the Baymiller street plant and start a stripping in- dustry, which, it is said, will give em- ployment to most of the people left behind by the Pinkerton Company. — When Tony Gotelli and an un- known companion were caught looting a Santa Fe car in San Francisco, Go- telli showed the policeman a fraudu- lent order. While the cop hesitated about making an arrest Gotelli's com- panion jumped into a wagon and made his escape with $450 worth of tobacco stolen from the car. Gotelli was ar- rested. Telegraph— YORK.

IJarbei & Comi)any. for the | iirpose of manu- facturing live- and ten-cent cigars. .\. C. I'arber, who will be r.ianager of the Concern, has been with differen« cigar firms in Lansing for the last lil- teen years. The company has lea.sed one tloor of the new P>uck lilock. on Washington avenue south, and the fac- tory will lie e(iuij)ped with the latest machinery. .Mr. I'arber said that Lansing should have 150 more cigarmakers than there are in the city now. It is proposed to manufacture a g(»od grade of goods and secure some of the trade that is now going to outside concerns. John J. Carney, of Detroit, and who is national organizer of the Tobacco Workers, with J. H. Schannel. repre- sentative of the Detroit Boot and Shoe Workers, addressed several hundred mendx'rs of the Bay City Trades Council, recently. The purpose of the delegates is to have the cigarmakers insist on buying only goods made nn;!er the union label. Papers in a suit, which has for its ultimate pm-pose the collection of $251,- 070 from Saginaw match manufactur- ers, were hied in the local United States Circuit Court, recently, by James P. Klotz. of Ohio. The defend- ants are the Saginaw Match Company and the Somers Brothers Match Fac- te jry. In brief Klotz charges that the Saginaw Match Company (nves him $251,070 for breach of contract, and to avoid paying him. he alleges, the Sagi- naw people sold out to Sommers Brothers.

These overtures for a reconciliation failed. Several weeks ago Joseph Schreiter began the manufacture of this cigar, putting into it a certain amount of Havana tobacco. After he had got well under way, an employe, also a union man, informed him that at a meeting of the union it was decided to notify 'Mr. Schreiter that $15.00 a thousand must be the charge for the cigar instead of $ii. What union men there were in the shop walked out only to return shortly afterward, tak- ing the job in preference to idleness. Mr. Schreiter claims he has tried to make the "closed shop" pay, but in his 18 years' experience has been un- successful. He also declares the "open shop" cigars sell better. The Senator K's, cigar-makers of Pontiac. defeated the Garment Work- ers in the last baseball game (tf the season, this week, by a score of 21 to 6. The tobacco crop in the experimen- tal station at Harrow. Ont.. is prac- tically harvested. Some varieties of cigar tobacco, including Comstock. Cuban and llazelwd<.d. are almost en- t-rely cured. The color is good and the (piality of the leaf rare. The tlnal residts of the fertilizer tests with bur- ley are not ready, but there were mark- ed differences in the crops as they stood on the held. Two kilns of tobacco were cured ahout two weeks ago, and at present two more kilns are being prepared. A trial test was made with a kiln of bur- ley, and the pros])ects were quite en- com-aging. a very good color being obtained. Tiorted. BIG SALES OF KENTUCKY LEAF. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 14. The largest tobacco sale of the new- season was held here on Tuesday, about 16.000 i)oun(ls of new leaf be- ing auctioned ofif at the Burley loose leaf tobacco warehouse. The prices ranged from 9 to 18 cents, and were so satisfactory to the growers that another sale will be held to-morrow morning. There were numerous buy- ers on hand, and the bidding was spirited. Among the buyers were Vaughan and Cunningham, of Lex- ington; Thomas IL Gray, represent- ing the J. P. Toylar Company, of Henderson, N. C; \V. L.

Government Will Fight the Case with Additional Vigor. Washington, Oct. 22. The re-assignment by the Supreme Court of the American Tobacco Co. appeal case from the present term to that of December, is evidence that the Government intends to proceed with as much care as when the Circuit Court of New York found the defend- ants guilty of violating the Sherman Anti-Trust law. The fact that Attor- ney General Wickersham will appear personally in the case lends added in- terest to the attitude of the Federal authorities in the present instance. On the decision that will follow the hear- ing may rest a large part of the future business of the combination. The placing into bankruptcy of the Ware-Kramer Tobacco Co., of Nor- folk, which, ■ conducting an independ- ent cigarette business, recently sued the combination for $1,000,000, alleg- ing that it bad been injured in its trade, may not be without its effect when the case comes up. The Gov- ernment counsel, at the last hearing, depended largely on the testimony of Independent concerns as ground for proceeding against the American To- bacco Co.

Although several have fallen within the clutches of the ordinance which prohibits minors using tobacco in pub- lic, the first victim of the legal pro- cedure to be sent to the rock pile to work out the $2 fine imposed was Henry Logan, a negro, aged 19, who pleaded guilty to the charge before Judge S. S. Urmy, in police court. He had been arrested for smoking cigar- -ettes. Not only has the ordinance aflfected "those of both the black and white race, but on the other hand has brought un- der the stern control of the law minors from entirely different walks of life, including the well-groomed college student as well as the street waif. J. D. Sweet, a student, aged 20, was ^Iso fined $2 when arraigned for the same offense. The fine was paid. Ware-Kramer Co. to Continue Suit. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 22. R. T. Thorp, receiver in involuntary l)ankruptcy proceedings against the Ware-Kramer Tobacco Co., an inde- pendent concern, which has operated Tiere since 1906, acting under decree of Federal Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., will continue the prosecution at Ra- leigh, N. C, of the $1,000,000 damage suit brought by the bankrupt concern some time ago against the American Tobacco Company and the Wells- Whitehead Tobacco Co. for alleged acts damaging to the Ware-Kramer Co.'s business, in violation of the Fed- eral Anti-Trust law. These alleged acts by the defendants in the $1,000,000 suit are assigned as the cause of the Ware-Kramer Co.'s present embarrassment. NEW FACTORY IN JACKSONVILLE. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 21.

S. Henderson, for- merly of Bracken county, but now of Cincinnati, against Vachel Jordan and a number of others. Henderson filed his suit for $.')0,000 damages against the men who are alleged to have forced him to quit business as a tobacco broker in Bracken county and to have driven him from Kentucky. The jury in the United States Court had given him a verdict for $300 damages. Only Things Purchasable in West Vir- ginia Town on Sunday. Elkins, W. Va., Oct. 23.

Experiment in Sherburn County Proves Marked Success. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 23. Tobacco growing gives promise of becoming a common and profitable in- dustry in Minneapolis, according to Professor C. P. Bull, of the Minnesota farm school and experiment station, who says the industry is not new in this State. Last spring, he says, the station dis- tributed plants to farmers who were willing to give attention to the cul- ture, and that all the crops so far re- ported are good. Most of the tobacco was grown in Sherburne county. Min- nesota has a good soil for tobacco, he says, and good profits await all those who will give time and patience to the cultivation of plants. * E. Heibel, of Sherburne county, last year sold 8400 pounds of tobacco to cigar manufacturers who wanted it for filler. This year. Professor Bull says, Heibel has a larger crop and it is in better condition. In another year Pro- fessor Bull expects to see the tobacco industry prominent in the State's list of resources. NO MORE PRISON-MADE CIGARS. Ohio Penitentiary Managers Promise to End the Business There. Columbus, O., Oct. 23. In response to the demand of cigar makers throughout the State the Board of Managers of the penitentiary has decided to terminate the cigar con- tract at the penitentiary within a few days. This has been promised many times before. The statement was made at the prison weeks ago that the con- tract would be terminated at once, but that the contractors, the George B. Sprague Cigar Co., virould be permit- ted to work up the stock on hand. Cigar manufacturers say they dis- covered that new stock was being re- ceived just when the contract was under full headway. The Governor was appealed to and after much delay cognizance was taken of the complaint of the cigar manufacturers. The prison board has now added another prom- ise to the list. — The Japanese tobacco monopoly yields the government an annual rev- enue of $25,000,000.

Higher prices for the raw material cause a nightmare to our manufac- turers, in addition to all their other troubles. The Henry Clay and Bock & Co. are reported to have purchased 5000 bales of Vuelta Abajo colas this month for its cigarette factories. The orders for cigars are satisfactory, and the cus- tomers express their satisfaction with the quality, colors and workmanship. "Sol" is doing well in the United States since Park & Tilford have been pushing this brand, and through the intervention of Max Schatz, Sol's rep- resentative. Orders from Great Brit- ain and other countries of Europe, are also received by Behrens & Co. in goodly numbers. BUYING. SELLING AND OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST. Perez & Obeso closed out 2,000 bales of Vuelta Abajo colas last week. Jose Lovera is still in town and can be seen daily in our leaf warehouses, buying carefully but quite actively, and from the excellent vegas purchased by him so far it is perfectly safe to say that the customers of the Jose Lovera Co. will receive extra fine, highly aro- matic cigars, which will be second to none. Muniz Hnos & Co. sold 693 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios during the last eight days. Frank Dominguez, who left for Philadelphia last week, had purchased a little over 1,000 bales of choice leaf for E. A. Calves & Co. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez were sell- ■ers of 654 bales of all kinds of leaf to their various customers, who are at present in town. Calixto Lopez & Co. purchased 1,000 bales of Vuelta Abajo colas for their ■cigarette factory. Planas & Co. disposed of 580 bales ©f Remedios and Partido. Victor K. Ettlinger, who had spent some time in the Vuelta Abajo look- ing over the escojidas of E. Hoflfman & Son, left on Saturday, per S. S. Saratoga. It is said that he pur- chased some 850 bales of choice leaf in our market. Heinrich Neuberger shipped 699 bales to Bremen last week. Suarez Hnos. sold 525 bales of Vuel- ta Abajo and Remedios. Angel L. Cuesta left on Saturday for his Tampa home, after having laid in a large stock of extra choice leaf for his famous factory, Rz. Bautista & Co. closed out 496 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios. Edgar J. Stachelberg has been hard at work picking the finest vegas for his Gold Medal factory. Prices were less of an object to him than the se- curing of the most aromatic Vuelta Abajo leaf which he could find in the country or in our warehouses. Puente, Granda & Co. turned over to their customers 400 bales of all kinds of leaf — Vuelta Abajo, Semi Vuelta, Partido and Remedios. David Frankcl left on Saturday per S. S. Saratoga. He bought heavily for his La Natividad factory during his stay here — close on to 1,000 bales. B. Diaz & Co. disposed of 300 -bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido last week. H. B. and B. M. Franklin made some good-sized purchases for their Chica- go factory. Cardenas & Co. sold 200 bales of their fine Remedios packing. N. Elson (Grommes & Elson) left for his Chicago home, well pleased with his stay in town, having found what he needed for their factory. Herrera, Calmet & Co. were sellers of 200 bales of Remedios last week. B. A. Murphy and William J. Hol- man are still in town examining to- bacco. E. Ellinger & Co. disposed of 155 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. E. Wedeles has been making some fine purchases, but is still looking for more high-class leaf for his house in Chicago. A. M. Calzada & Co. sold 150 bales of Remedios and Partido from their excellent packings. Joseph Frankfort (Calero & Co.) has broken the ice by buying some vegas from a renowned district, but will stay another week. Loeb-Nunez Havana Co. closed out 100 bales of Remedios from their fine packings. The remains of the late Luis Muniz are on the way here, accompanied by his brother Don Manuel, and are ex- pected on the 26th of October, when funeral services will be held and the inhumation will take place in the fam- ily pantheon in our famous Colon cem- etery. There is no doubt but that the whole tobacco trade will be present to show the last honors to the late Don Luis Muniz. RECEIPTS FROM THE COUNTRY. Week t jnding Since Oct. 16. Jan . 1, 1909. Bales.

Our large local cigar factories are all busy, but the smaller shops are find- ing business poor. It is rumored that the United Cigar Stores Co. has leased the cigar store of Joseph Strauss, 39 Washington street, directly opposite the Friend street entrance to the subway. The Jaynes Riker Co., which oper- ates eight cut-price drug stores here, is about to open new stores in Salem and Cambridge. It is also said they have leased the building at 595 Wash- ington street, opposite the large de- partment store of Henry Siegel Co., and when the present lease expires they will open their ninth Boston store.

Entered at the Philadelphia Poal Office as Second Claaa Matter, n PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 27, 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS A moderate business is reported by local leaf tobacco houses this week, and the increased activity among cigar manufacturers throughout the State and country seems to have had some wholesome effect on market condi- tions here. There have been but few out-of-town buyers, but mail orders have increased, as have also the or- ders being received from salesmen on the road. Much encouragement is coming from points up the State where manufacturers are reported to be very busy at present. * * * Quite an important transaction is about consummated whereby A. B. Cunningham & Co., and Frings Bros. Co., of this city, take over the cigar manufacturing business of J. W. Sheri- dan & Co., at Reading. When inter- viewed by a Tobacco World repre- sentative a member of the firm of A. B. Cunningham & Co. acknowl- edged the facts as above stated, but also said that it was not yet fully con- summated at that time, and, there- fore, only a formal announcement could be made. Later fuller details of their plans will be laid before the readers. * * * Rumor has been current on the street for the past week that one of pur local jobbing houses would soon merge with a larger house. The de- tails, as in the above instance, are not yet fully worked out, and we can not divulge the plans which are now in contemplation. « * « Some of our local houses in the leaf trade are somewhat exercised over the" fact that a factory in Pennsylvania has lately failed to make any response to inquiries concerning their ability to meet certain obligations. It is inti- mated that one of the members of the firm has been away from the factory headquarters for a number of weeks and that nothing has been heard of him, and with each succeeding day the anxiety becomes more intense. * • « An advertising campaign of im- mense proportions has been entered upon in this city by I. Lewis & Co., of Newark, with their "Cobs" brand of goods, and advertisement covering nearly a page in local daily papers are appearing. Tradition seems to have 12 been changed by them, however, by selecting only one jobbing house for their entire distribution, whereas it seemed to be their plan heretofore to supply all jobbers. Following immediately these an- nouncements there was placed on this market the "Havana Plums," and they are now being placed all over the city through all the jobbing houses. This is also a piece of package goods put up similarly to the "Cobs" and sell- ing at the same price at retail. H. D. Xarrigan & Co. and others are filling orders for the Havana Plums. We understand that an advertising cam- paign is also to be taken up on these goods. * 4t * S. Weinberg has completed some ex- tensive changes in the interior of his offices at 121 North Third street, and the same have been thoroughly reno- vated by repainting and papering. Mr. L Weinberg, with this house, is at present at points up the State and meeting with encouraging success. * « * Orders for the product of the Nail & Williams tobacco factory are now being taken by salesmen of the Ameri- can Tobacco Co., Arthur Hagen & Co., former agents of the factory here, having relinquished the account. « « * We learn from Arthur Hagen & Co. that the new Autolite cigarettes continue to find new favor every day and that the sales are growing in leaps and bounds. Mr. J. Harvey McHenry, of the firm of Arthur Hagen & Co., has been absent from the city for sev- eral days. It can be safely depended upon that when he returns there will be something new to talk about in local trade circles. « 4i 4t Mr. Hillman, Jr., with the A. H. Hillman Co., of New York, general selling agents of the "7-20-4" 10-cent cigars, made by R. G. Sullivan, Man- chester, N. H., has been in this city upon several occasions recently and is gradually getting the goods intro- duced here. They are already distrib- uting advertising matter in the shape of cuspidors, etc. * * * A. Schwartz, formerly in the retail cigar business at 246 Arch street, has sold out his business to Samuel Cooper, who has been in the cigar manufacturing business in the down- town section of the city. Mr. Cooper is now engaged in a thorough renova- tion of tlic place, both interior and ex- terior, and will also manufacture cigars in the same premises. * * * John H. Boltz, of Boltz, Clymer & Co., has just returned from a visit to Havana, where he made some exten- sive purchases of tobacco for their needs. The engagement of Edward Hoch to- Miss Eva Zimmerman has just been announced. Mr. Hoch is a son of Mr. Gustav Hoch, a well-known member of the retail trade and proprietor of Everybody's Cigar Store, at Ninth and Filbert streets. * ♦ ♦ Theo. Bixby, with the Florida To- bacco Co., was among this week's- visitors in this city. TRADE MARKS REGISTERED.

So far there are no indications of damage to the new crops and prospects arc that it will safely reach the stripping stage. There have been high prices demanded by growers for the new crops, said to be in the neighborhood of 11 cents or more, and that has taken the packers by surprise and no purchases have thus far been made. The cigar industry is fairly good and the manufacturers are awakening to the fact that the stock of old goods is not plentiful. In fact, there now remains little but 1908 leaf, which is not yet fully available, but for which there is every reason to expect an ad- vanced price will be demanded for. The following were the awards to tobacco growers at the recent Lan- caster County Eair: Largest collec- tion, first, Jacob F. Heilman, Lititz; second, Harry M. Wila, R. F. D. No. 8, Lancaster. Second largest collection, S. S. Sweigart. Strasburg. Six largest leaves of tobacco, first, H. R. Heinhold. East Petersburg: sec- ond, Walter B. Landis. Second largest and best leaves, Sam- uel Bard, Leacock. A strike occurred last week at the Garman cigar factory, at Reinhold, when the increase in wages of the em- ployes was refused. There were from forty to fifty hands employed. A. N. Wolf, of Akron, has been sampling his packing of 1908 tobacco and it is reported to be of exaellent quality. 14 S. X. Wolf, of Wolf & Hackman. at Akron, has recently returned from a business trip to Chicago. Cigarmakers are being engaged daily by Akfon factories and busi- ness there seems to be very good at present. I. M. Jacoby. with Meyer & Men- delsohn, of New York, leaf dealers, has been calling on his friends in the trade here recently. T. D. Shertzer. a well-known local tobacco dealer, has been on a flying business trip to Detroit. GENERAL TRADE NEWS IN YORK York. Pa., Oct. 25. With six days of this month's busi- ness yet remaining to be completed, the indications at the local Internal Revenue Office indicates total stamp sales approximating $100,000 during the month of October. Many new factories have been licensed lately and the general report is to the effect that business is improving quite rapidly and steadily. With business so brisk as it is at present with H. F. Kohler at Nash- ville, it is found impossible to secure a suflficient number of cigarmakers to make up the goods fast enough to suit Mr. Kohler. Overtime has been the rule with him for some time past. The State Seal Cigar Co. has in- creased its force of cigarmakers con- siderably at the Fclton factory. During last Wednesday night a seri- ous fire occurred at Craley, York County, in which was consumed the warehouse and cigar factory of John F. Reichard, of Red Lion, and who is also extensively engaged in the leaf tobacco business in York. The build- ing was easily the largest and most imposing in that town? Mr. Reichard claims a loss of $8,000, and an insur- ance of $5,000. The building contained a considerable quantity of leaf tobacco and a large stock of cigars, all of which was entirely consumed by the flames. Mr. Reichard has already opened another factory at Margaretta Furnace. J. W. Minnich, of Dallastown, who was hurt while cranking his automo- bile last week, has improved so much that he is again visiting his office. Deputy Revenue Collector Frank Lindemuth has been kept busy prepar- ing bonds for new cigar manufactur- ers who are engaging in business. Within the past week there have been issued licenses to the following: Moses Holtzinger, Holtz; M. A. Gohn, Hellam; P. P. Smith, Frcysville; Ralph Gohn, hittersville, and A. Small, at York. C. S. Gable, of York, has leased quarters at Wrightsville and will open a cigar factory there, and it is stated that he expects to extend employment to a goodly force of people. Jacob A. Mayer & Bros., of North York, have recently increased the number of hours of work each week, as well as the number of workers. They state conditions at piujsent are better than at any time within the past two years. Some large orders are in hand. C. W. Bitner, leaf tobacco packer of Lancaster, has been operating exten- sively in the vicinity of Red Lion and is said to have made a large sale of leaf to the American Cigar Co. The Cuban Star Cigar Company, which is one of the more successful of the younger cigar ma'nufacturing es- tablishments at Dallastown, has, in- deed, made substantial progress dur- ing the past few years, despite the fact that during that time the general trade conditions have not at all been propitious. Messrs. Noll and Simon, who are the active men of the firm, are both young but full of energy, and they have been making it count for a good deal. While they are continuing with the manufacture of an established line of goods, they are, however, now also devoting special care to the man- ufacture of a still higher grade of goods. The more intelligent of cigar- manufacturers have observed that there is a constantly increasmg de- mand for a better article, and a cor- responding decrease for the cheaper products. This was soon observed by the Cuban Star Cigar Co., and they began immediately to shape their ac- tions according to those convictions, and to them certainly belongs a great deal of credit for this piece of fore- sight. E. F. Noll, of this firm, has had a wide experience in the handling of to- baccos, and under his supervision falls the manufacture of goods. Mr. James L. Simon, who is a member of one of the best-known families in Dallastown, is devoting himself largely to other and equally important details of the growing business. He was formerly an employe in a near-by bank, and the training which he received in that institution is now serving him well in his present undertaking. The house fully deserves its success. # \ THE TOBACCO WORLD Highest Award and Gold Medal for Excellence and Quality of Stogies, at World's Fair, St. Louis, 1904 We make the CUBAN EXPORT, BULL'S EYE, ROYAL BLUE LINE, CYCLONE and BIG STOGIES First Quality Long Filler Hand Made JOHN SLATER & CO.

All the personal and real property of the Verdon Cigar Company, of Kal- amazoo, with the exception of the copyrights and notes and accounts collectible, are to be sold for the bene- fit of the creditors. An order to this eflfect was signed by a Kalamazoo judge during the last week. For sev- eral days an effort has been made by certain of the creditors to obtain a percentage settlement with the bank- rupt firm, but this has been rendered impossible because all the creditors would not agree to the terms of the proposed settlement, and a petition to that eflfect was not filed with the court. V. G. Godfrey has purchased part interest in the cigar store formerly owned by Robert Melrose, at 31 East Main street. The new firm will be known as the Wolverine Cigar Com- pany. The cloudburst of last June flooded the G. R. & I. bonded warehouse, and $18,000 worth of tobacco stored there and belonging to the G. J. Johnson Cigar Company, was damaged $12,000 worth. The Federal law provides that when dutiable articles are destroyed by the elements, the duty on them be- ing already paid, the amount shall be refunded. The cigar company has been advised that its claim for a re- fund has been allowed. The amount is $6400. This will be the largest re- fund ever claimed by a Grand Rapids importer. The company will soon have its new bonded warehouse, and will then be free from flood hazards. The ware- house will be in the sub-basement of the factory on North Ottawa street, and will be of solid cement, with heavy double locked doors, the government carrying one of the keys and the com- pany holding the other. Rather than be a burden on his two daughters, and finding that the money which he had accumulated for a rainy day had become exhausted, H. H. Van- derstoep, of Grand Rapids, has re- turned to the one trade he knew — cigar making. And this, despite the fact that he passed his eighty-sixth birthday recently. Mr. Vanderstoep is working in John Grebel's factory, and he is probably the oldest cigarmaker in Michigan, if not in the country. The old man is a veteran of the civil war. After the conflict he opened a cigar store in Grand Rapids. The G. J. Johnson Cigar Company has fitted up a dining hall at a cost of $1600 for its 300 women employes. The large room on the first floor is lined on> both sides with individual steel lockers, one for each girl. At one end is a cozily furnished parlor, and at the other a miniature kitchen. Instead of tables, chairs of the "Bos- ton lunch'" type are provided, so that girls may sit in groups or as they wish. In winter the company provides coflfee to go with the lunch. The Lansing Business Men's Asso- ciation has brought suit against G. A. Moebs, a Detroit cigar manufacturer, for failure to locate a cigar factory in Lansing, in accordance with an agree- ment. Moebs established the concern after the Lansing people had paid him a bonus of $500. and then moved the shop, alleging he could not secure labor in Lansing. Tiorted. WARE-KRAMER ANNOUNCEMENT Business c( Concern to be Continued ' ' by a Friendly Receiver. The following announcement has been received from the receiver of the Ware-Kramer Tobacco Company, and is similar to letters issued to their cus- tomers: Norfolk, Va., Oct. 21st, 1909. To the Customers of Ware-Kramer Tobacco Company: In order to protect all tlie interests involved therein, the undersigned has been appointed receiver for the Ware- Kramer Tobacco Company. The de- cree appointing him such receiver di- rects that he shall continue the business of said company as a going concern. As its successor, the receiver is anxious to hold all the patronage of said com- pany and to increase its patrons as much as possible. For that reason he respectfully asks that you continue your purchase of "White Rolls," "Lynnhavens" and "Nazma" cigarettes manufactured by it, promising you that the same high class of goods will be shipped you as heretofore. It is hoped that the affairs of the company will be so adjusted that it will continue a live, active and inde^ pendent manufacturer of cigarettes; that it should so continue, every dealer in cigarettes is interested, and the re- ceiver, therefore, asks that by liberal purchases, and in such other legitimate ways as may lie in your power, you will aid him in successfully conducting the affairs of the company. Very respectfully, R. T. Thorp, Receiver. — A cigar factory will be started in Geryville, Pa., by Allen R.

Hans Schwartz, 23 years old, was accused of embezzling $200 from the Ryan & Raphael Cigar Company^ huf when the case was called for triat the wife persuaded the company to waive the felony charge, and the amount stolen was placed at $15, put- ting the crime in the misdemeanor class.

Fine Samples of Sumatra and Havana Tobacco Grown in Baldwin County. Montgomery. Ala., Oct. 22. Genuine Sumatra wrapper and genu- ine Havana filler, raised in Baldwin county, and pronounced by more than 200 experts, among them Collector Lahan. of the Tampa port, in every way equal to exported goods, were shown in the office of the Commission- er of Agriculture to-day by T. P. Ham. of Chicago; Frank Stone, of Bay Min- ettt, and W. S. Harvey, of Chicago. These gentlemen, members of the Ala- bama Sumatra and Havana Tobacco Co., will have spent $1,500,000 in de- veloping the enterprise at Summerdale. in Baldwin county. For many years growers of tobacco on this side have been trying to get a tobacco that will measure up to that C>f the old growing sections in leaf and fibre. When thinness has been secured it has lacked strength, and with this and fibre, it has lacked aroma, and many other things needed to make it a competitor with old-established products. This has been overcome and, according to the best information and advice, the output of this farm is in all respects as good as the imported to- bacco, both wrapper and filler. Mr. Ham has secured the opinion of every tobacco man in the United States, Cu- ba and the other growing countries, who is taken to be an expert, and the verdict is unanimous that the output of this Alabama section is the real goods. There has been no attempt at com- mercial sales to ar,y great extent. All of the first crop and much of the sec- ond was made with an idea of experi- ment. Failures have been good in- structors, and successes are a certainty of experience, not just happen so.

One of three big cur- ing plants, costing $65,000 each, is now going up. The others will follow right away. "We are certain of ourselves now," says Mr. Ham, "and can go ahead. We sold $86,000 worth of lands last week and our sales are running heavier all the time." Mr. Ham is the man who built the Bay-Minette and Fort Morgan rail- road, now owned by the Louisville and Kashville. He has been for many years a firm believer in Baldwin coun- ty and the gulf coast, and is getting a lot of money from other sections to develop it. He has faith in Alabama, and is ever ready to back it with the investment of the last dollar of his wealth. Newsy Notes of the Trade — The store of the P. Miller Cigar Co..

In answer to an inquiry, Consul Frank Deedmeyer, of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, furnishes the following information concerning to- bacco in Cai.ada: The Province of Prince Edward Is- land has ceased to produce tobacco, all attempts having proved unprofitable. No cigars, cheroots, stogies, or snuff are manufactured in the Province and there is scarcely any demand therefor. The high-grade cigars come from Cu- ba and the United States. The con- sumption of smoking and chewing to- bacco, for the year ending March 31, 1909, is put at 400,000 pounds, and the estimated consumption for the year ending March 31, 1910, is placed at 4ir),W)o pounds. Of the amount con- sumed during the last fiscal year, 275,- 0;)0 pounds were manufactured in the province, the balance coming from other Provinces of the Dominion, and from the United States and Great Britain. The leaf tobacco which enters into the product manufactured here conies from Quebec and Ontario, and from the United States. The production of leaf tobacco in llie Dominion of Canada amounted to 11,266,732 pounds in 1908, of which Quebec raised 7,655,975 pounds and Ontario 3,503,739 pounds. The value of tobacco, cigars, cigar- ettes and snufF, manufactured by 155 establishments in 1906, was $15,274,923. The imports of unmanufactured tobac- co in 1908 amounted to $3,385,348, of which $3,247,429 came from the United States, Manufactured tobacco import- ed in 1908 amounted to 772,013 pounds, valued at $848,300, most of which came from the United States. There has been an increase in the consumption of tobacco in Canada, per head, from 1,755 pounds in 1869 to 2,257 pounds in 1908. In this increased consumption Prince Edward Island has fully shared. LEFT HIS STOCK TO RELATIVES. The will of Frank J. Ludington, the cigarette machine manufacture, de- vises his interest in the Ludington Cigarette Machine Company, which includes all but three shares already owned by them, to a brother, Fred Ludington, of Waterbury; two sis- ters and nieces and nephews scattered in diflferent cities. The cigarette machine was disposed of by sale, not rental, £^nd netted the owner the equivalent of a 5 per cent, annual dividend on $1,000,000 capital- ization, though the company was capi- talized for less than $60,000. The com- pany, it is understood, could have been sold to the American Tobacco Com- pany, but Ludington would not be tempted. , It is likely now that the new own- ers will decide to sell their interests. The estate, because the testator was a bachelor, must pay 3 per cent, to the State as a collateral inheritance tax. — Into the trade school at Liege, Belgium, there has been introduced a course in cigar making, fostered by government subsidy. Leaf Tobacco Markets CONNECTICUT. Suffleld. — Tobacco men who have Inspect- ed the uew tobacco crop pronounce the 1909 Connecticut Valley yield one of the best ever linown. It is estimated that the 3000 aires in the Suffield district will yield al out $1,250,000. On this basis the entire New England crop should bring not far from $(),()(K),000. The bulk of the new crop is cured and the warehouses are preparingr for the season's operations, which will be under full headway next month. Thompsonville. — The tobacco crop this year is of an excellent quality and good prii'es prevail. Many dealers who sold last year's crop at 9 and 10 cents, are being oflfered 15 cents for this year's growth, an"d are selling. The crop is clean and free from pole sweat and the weather favorable for curing. Canton. — This fall has been an ideal one for curing tobacco and the farmers in the town of Canton expe<-t to realize a good price this year. One sale has been made. John Nulty has sold his 1909 crop of Havana seed to E. A. & W. F. Fuller, of Suflield, Hartford, for a good price. Thig crop was raised on the lot opposite the Canton depot. In the tobacco trade Mr. Nulty is considered one of the best raisers in the State. East Hartford. — Tobacco buyers are again in the Held "looking." Schoveling, of New Milford, and his local agent, G. E. Pratt, were in the vicinity of Hillstown on Tuesday. Other out-of-town dealers as well as local buyers, were also in the belt. No sales were reported. Most of the 1909 crop is cured and is ready for strippingr the next damp. It is reported on what Is considered good authority that quite a quantity of the crop will be sold in the bundle. KENTUCKY. Louisville. — New tobacco was better in quality and in condition and brought prices generally regarded as good. Old Burley commanded active bidding and brought prices on a par with previous quotations. TENNESSEE. We had our first killing frost the morn. Ing of the 13th Inst., but the last of the tobacco crop was safely in the house and all cured except the irfte small cuttings. As soon as we have a spell of warm, soft weather stripping will commence, and the crop begin to move to the factories and loose floor warehouses. WISCONSIN. Edgerton. — To all outward appearances the buying of the new crop is entirely suspended for the time being. A brief season of t-uring weather this week has given an opportunity to ascertain how the curing is progressing, and it may dis- close whether any Injury has come to the hanging crop from the recent freezing. Old leaf in growers' hands is still being hunted and quite freely purchased. The market for cured leaf is surely pick- ing up. Several out-of-town buyers have visited the State and a number of fair sized transactions have resulted. The call is largely for the '08, though exporters are searching the market for any class of goods that can be found to meet their ideas regarding price. The 4(K)-caHe pack- ing of '08 of T. E. Welch is sold to an Eastern manufacturer. A. N. Jones reports the sale of 12r> cases '08 and 85 cases of '0r> for the week. Another lot of low grades from the Equity holdings, about 300 cases. Is said to have been sold to an exporter. Sampling of the '08 packings Is now well under way and packers find very little If any damage resulting. The tobacco is coming through the sweat the soundest for some years past.

Treasury Department Requires Labels Marked with Country of Origen. Washington, D. C, Oct. 29. The Treasury Department has re- versed a recent ruling regarding the making of cigar labels and bands un- der Section 7 of the tariff act of 1909. On October 5th instructions were is- sued laying down rules to govern the marking of all imported merchandise in harmony with the provisions of the new tariff. In this order it was spe- cified that labels and bands to be affixed to cigars and packages of ci- gars need not be marked with the country of origin, as the marking would be taken to mean that the ar- ticle contained in the label or band "was of foreign production. The attention of the Government has, however, been called to the fact that certain importers of cigar labels are entering labels containing the names of domestic firms dealing in cigars. Interests opposed to the ad- mittance of such printed labels took their case to Washington. Represen- tations were made to the Secretary of the Treasury that cigar labels made abroad should be stamped with the name of the country of origin, as otherwise it would appear that the labels and bands were manufactured in the United States. After a full consideration of the subject, the department has reversed the earlier ruling and directs that the country of origin be stamped on each label or band. TWO DOLLARS A POUND.

This Dade City plantation is one of the largest en- terprises of the character in the State, and Mr. Embry says his exnerience has been sufficient to demonstrate that Sumatra tobacco can be grown in Florida successfully and profitably. The product of the Sunnybrook farm is superior to the average of the im- ported stock, and it is steadily win- ning its way in the favor of the man- ufacturers of the Northern and East- ern States. This shade-grown Florida Suma- tra sells for $1.70 to $2 per pound, and there is money in the business at those prices if the farmer is prop- erly equipped to make and handle his crop. The Sunnybrook farm has one of the finest places in the State, and Mr. Embrey is particularly proud of his barn — if he did build it himself. One of the Biggest Jobbing Houses in West is the R suit. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 28. One of the largest tobacco jobbing deals to take place in Cincinnati in years was consummated on Tues- day, the J. B. Moos Company taking over the accounts and realty holdings of the Voige & Winters Company, 240 East Fifth street. It is under- stood $150,000 is involved in the transaction. The deal became effective immedi- ately upon the signing of the papers. Arrangements had been made which will involve no change in the officers and employes of either corporation. The Moos Company, 226 East Fourth street, will eventually give up its present quarters and conduct the combined business of the two houses from the Fifth street building. The Voige & Winters Company was the owner of the East Fifth street property, which was taken over on a basis of $1700 per front foot, or $32,- 000 for the whole. Arrangements have been made with the Glenn es- tate for the renting of the building immediately in the rear. This move will give the company property an al- ley entrance and rear shipping facili- ties. The transaction makes the Moos Company the largest jobbing house between New York City and Chicago. It formerly handled cigars exclusive- ly. The brands carried by the Voige & Winters Company will be handled as formerly. John H. Dickson will take charge of the tobacco branch of the business. George Voige, another member of the firm, will occupy a responsible position under the new management, which will be in charge of President Gerson J. Brown. The latter is « former newspaper man. OPTION ON TOBACCO LAND. Factory Closed for a Short Time on Ac- count of an Overstocli of Goods. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 28. It is reported that the Mail Pouch Tobacco factory will be shut down in about one week on account of an overstock of goods. The length of the suspension is not definitely known, but will probably be only for a short time. One of the new weigh- ing and packing machines has been tested at the factory and found to work perfectly with the exception of one minor defect, which can be eas- ily remedied. This may lead to the installation of enough of the ma- chines to do all the company's work of that kind. This would mean the discharge of a large number of girls. FACTORY AT TALLAHASSEE. Indianapolis Man is Interested in Clay County White Burley. Clay City, Ind., Oct. 27. There is much excitement here over the land boom in Owen county. Clay City is very close to the west- ern edge, and several Indianapolis men are obtaining options on all the land possible. This movement was started by the fact that a Kentuckian, Albert Hucherson, driven out of his native State by the night riders, bought a hill farm over near Spencer and put out ten acres of white bur- ley tobacco last year. This crop brought as high prices upon the Louisville market as any sold there. Many local men who were considering buying Western land are now making large invest- ments in the cheap tobacco lands of Owen county. Project Recently Suggested to Chamber of Commerce. Tallahassee, Fla., Oct. 27. The plan suggested to the Talla- hassee Chamber of Commerce by R. Griffin Johnson, one of Tallahassee's most successful real estate dealers, and a live member of that organiza- tion, that the tobacco men of Leon should combine and establish a cigar factory here, is meeting with general approval. The tobacco planters of Bainbridge and Attapulgus, Ga., and Havana and Quincy, have resorted to this expedient to keep their tobacco crops from being sacrificed to the greed of the tobacco trusts, and are finding it a most satisfactory solution to their problem. For Tallahassee this plan would be easier than for most towns, as there are already at least 150 experi- enced cigarmakers here, recently thrown out of employment by the removal of El Provedo factory to Tampa. Mr. A. Wahnish, an expert in the handling of tobacco and the manufacture of cigars, is of the opin- ion that the carrying out of Mr. John- son's suggestion would mean wealth to the tobacco men of Leon. He as- sures them that they would be able to put on the market an excellent five-cent cigar, the sale of which would give them a good profit to their tobacco, besides an extra profit on the manufacture of the cigars. This tobacco is of mild and fine quality, and susceptible of being flav- ored, if flavoring should be desired. The matter is being taken into seri- ous consideration, and the prospects are that Leon county cigars will soon be on the market. — The stock of Kemp & Zimmer- man cigar dealers at Niles, O., has been sold to the East Ohio Cigar Company, which has taken possession. Samuel D. Dibert Preparing to Retire from Cigar Manufacturing Business. Reading, Pa., Oct. 28. Samuel D. Dibert, the well-known cigar manufacturer, located at Wash- ington and Thorn streets, and for many years trading as Dibert Broth- ers, will retire from this business this fall, and is disposing of his equip- ment, stock, etc., at private sale. He also expects to sell the large fac- tory building, and will devote his en- tire attention to other business in- terests. Mr. Dibert has been one of Read- ing's most successful cigar manufac- turers, and was long one of the lead- ers in the trade in this sectiom. He is a native of Bedford, Pa., and first came to Reading in 1875 to take a position on the road for Hantsch & Crouse. He became associated with D. W. Crouse in the business in this city, later removing to New York, but returned in 1883. when he b9«rme associated with his brother, Henry S. Dibert, now connected with the Industrial Cigar Company, having re- tired from the firm of Dibert Broth-"^ ers about ten years ago. The firm was located successively- in the Earl Building, Fifth and Penn streets, Fourth and Penn streets, late- ly occupying the factory of the Mon- te Pluma Cigar Company, on South Sixth street, this site now being oc- cupied by the Eagle Printing House, and later purchased the present loca- tion, formerly used by the factory of George C. Frame. This was later en- larged. Mr. Dibert manufactured many well-known brands, the Fan Tan hav- ing been his leader. Some years ago he was quite ac- tive in Republican politics and was regarded as likely to be nominated for Mayor, but found his business in- terests too important to sacrifice. WILLIS E. RUSSELL DEAD. Was One of the Largest Tobacco Grow- ers in Suf field, Conn. Suffield, Conn., Oct. 28. Willis E. Russell, 52 years of age, died at his home here on October 22nd after a three months' illness. He was born in Russell, Mass., and in 1880 was married to Miss Emma E. Culver, of Blandford, removing to this town the same year. He was one of the largest tobacco growers in Suffield. — J. Howard Robinson, a former Louisville, Ky., newspaper man, and recently editor of the Tobacco Plant- er, at Guthrie, Ky., was found dead in the bathroom of his home near Nash- ville. The room was filled with gas fumes when the body was discovered by his wife. E. A. Calves & Co.<'^c> Havana, 123 North Third street ^ PHILADELPHIA IMPORTERS of E. A.

Reports of Renewed Trouble in Differ- ent Sections. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 29. Advices from Mason county to-day are that excitement over night rider raids is at fever heat and that troops may be requested from Governor Wilson. After the raids on the homes of Benjamin Longnecker and George Kreitz, wealthy farmers, Wed- nesday night, every tobacco grower who did not enter the Hurley tobacco society pool armed himself. Huntingdon, W. Va., Oct. 28. The first outbreak of night riders in southwestern West Virginia for more than a year occurred Monday night in the eastern part of Cabell county. The large tobacco barn of Everett Blake, containing his entire crop of several thousand pounds of tobacco, was destroyed by fire. Blake had refused to pool his tobacco. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 28. Seventy-five thousand pounds oif tobacco belonging to G. A. Simpson, •of Grant county, who was aided in its shipment by State militia, arrived here Tuesday last. Simpson is not a member of the Burley pool. Having been threaten- ed and fearing interference if he at- tempted to ship his tobacco, he ap- pealed to Governor Wilson for aid. The Governor detailed a detachment of State troops from Cynthiana to ^o to Grant county and assist in the shipment of the tobacco. A girl armed with a double-barreled shot-gun put to flight forty night rid- ers when they broke down the door of her father's house last night in Mason county. The riders appeared at the home of George Kreitz evidently with the intention of whipping them. When entrance was refused the door was beaten in with an axe and crowbar. Kreitz's young daughter, standing ready with a loaded shot-gun, turned loose both barrels. The masked men fled precipitately. Kreitz recognized several of the men and arrests are expected. Kreitz has sold tobacco crops to independent buyers and had refused to enter the pool of the Burley To- bacco Society. TOBACCO GROWING IN AFRICA. The rapid and successful develop- ment of the tobacco industry in Af- rica promises to be a formidable com- petitor of the growers in the bright tobacco belt of Virginia and North Carolina, according to statements of representatives of the American To- bacco Company and the Imperial To- bacco Company, who have recently returned from that country. Ernest W. Howard, who has been in charge of a large tobacco plant operated by the Imperial Tobacco Company, of London, at Blantyre, Central Africa, is here spending his vacation. He says the success in the growing and the handling of tobacco in Africa has been phenomenal, and anticipates in course of time that the industry will grow larger and larger and enter into direct competition with tobacco raised in this section. All of the manual work in Africa is done by the natives. Attractive Packages Why not call attention to your CHRISTMAS. HIGH CLASS or SPECIAL BRANDS, by packing in a box Different from the Ordinary?

Current reports arc to the effect that there has been a fair volume of busi- ness transacted in the leaf market dur- ing the past week, although there was nothing that approached a rush for goods, and no particular type of leaf was specialized. With the holidays yet some seven weeks off. there is reason to believe that for at least a few weeks more we shall have a reason- ably good business, even though it can hardly be expected that there will be no great stocking up of raw material now. In Sumatra tobiicco there was also a moderately good business. The ac- tivity now prevailing among the cigar manufacturers has undoubtedly had some effect on the situation of late, and kept the stocks moving. The Havana market has been rather active, and the heavier business being experienced by the manufacturers of clear Havana cigars is showing its full effect in the present activities. * * * A Ronenv«-aI«l innovation. On page 11 of this issue will be found a special announcement of E. Rosenwald & Bro., of New York, which will undoubtedly prove of im- portance to the entire trade, and, com ing as it does, from one of the best known houses in the trade, it will at tract more than a usually widespread interest. Of course, we expect to hear of some one remark, "Why didn't we think of it before?" but the fact re mains that it was E. Rosenwald 8r Bro. who made the initiative in this novel method of handling Sumatra to- bacco, and to them belongs full credit « * a neatli of Max Meyor. Max Meyer, senior member of the leaf tobacco firm of Meyer & Mendel .sohn, died on last Sunday morning at his home, Eighty-tifth street and Riv erside Drive, at the age of hfty-six years. Mr. Meyer was for a period of over thirty years a member of the firm which bears his name. He commenced his business career in a very modest way in partnership with Mr. Mendelsohn; the house be gan to grow, until it had reached Us present standing in the trade, and is recognized as one of the leadine houses in the Water street district. A few years ago Bernard J. Meyer and Alfred 1. Mendelsohn, sons re- spectively of Mr. Meyer and Mr. Men- delsohn, were admitted to an interest in the business, and it is now an- nounced that the business will be con- tinued HoHNey l^tooli inereaHed. The capital stock of the A. Hussey Leaf Tobacco Co., with offices in Chi- cago and St. Louis, as well as in New York, has been increased from $100,000 to $200,000. The increase was made from the accumulated surplus of the firm's earnings, which it was decided to use in this way rather than to dis- tribute it in dividends. This at least indicates the prosperity which this popular house has been enjoying, a a a Alien Tobacco Co. Sale. ft is announced that Stephen G. Ruth, who has for some years past been the manager of the Allen To- bacco Co., has purchased, in company with I. Lewis & Co., the controlling interest in the business, which it is .said will be continued under the old name. In a reorganization effected Mr. Lewis has become president and Mr. Ruth treasurer. m • • Cifrarettc Man Bankrupt. A petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Morris Goodman, whole- <*ale dealer in leaf tobacco and manu- facturer of cigarettes, at No. 5 Essex street, by M. L. Herzog & Co., credit- ors for $11,122. It was alleged that while insolvent he transferred and re- moved portions of his property. Judge Hand appointed Francis W, Bird re- ceiver, bond $2000. It was stated that liabilities are over $20,000 and as- sets probably $4000. Efforts of the pe- titioning creditor to find him at his place of business for a long time past were fruitless, and practically all hi.« assets and the business have been transferred or pledged to the Commer- cial Tobacco Co., a corporation or- ganized by his son and son-in-law. He began business in 1892. The petition- ers state that they extended credit to him on the strength of a financial fitatement made by him on March 27, 11)08. showing assets of $79,800 and lia- bilities $20,450. * * * strike at Xcw Brunnwlck. The police of Niew Brunswick, N. J., were called out last week to quell the fiercest battle of women the town ever- paw. Five hundred girl strikers of the Hirschorn Mack Company cigar fac- tory attacked forty girls who had re- fused to strike and who were on their way to work. Hatpins, stones and fin- ger nails were the weapons used, and three girls were knocked down and badlv beaten before Chief O'Conncl arrived with his men. The police had to draw their club.«5 and charge again and again before they could beat off the angry women. They finally drove off the attacking column and allowed the somewhat ba*- kred forty to go to work. The strik- ing girls demand an increase in wages. k NWA Our Capacity for Manufacturing Cigar Boxes is— ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE GOOD CUSTOMER Monroe D.

Co. took over the entire stock and trade of the W. S. Chandler Co., at Second and Arch streets. We understand that a retail business will be continued there until the termination of a lease on December 31. but the wholesale business has been already transferred to the main establishment of Frings Bros. Co. in West Philadelphia. Mr. Chandler, we are also told, is joining the forces of the succeeding house. W. S. Lee. a leaf tobacco man of Bald- winvillc. X. Y., was a recent visitor in this city in the interest of J. W. Upson, an extensive grower, packer and dealer of that place. ' ♦ « « The cigar stand formerly conducted by the late James A. Stead, at Twelfth, near Arch, but which is now being con- ducted by A. C. Burton, formerly in business on Sixth, near Chestnut, is meeting with an increased volume of trade since the latter took hold of the store. PHILADELPHIA. NOVEMBER 3, 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS The activity ot the leaf market this week was represented in a goodly number of purchases which were made mostly by out-of-town people, and we are also again informed that our local leaf houses have enjoyed an encour aging large volume of business which was received through the mail. While tobacco has been selling a lit- tle more freely it is also to be ob- served that good grades of old goods are becoming scarcer in quantity and naturally there is a tendency towards advanced prices. New stocks arc not regarded as thoroughly desirable, yet for immediate use, and that also has a tendency of increasing the demand for older goods, but all advances in prices are affecting the smaller manufactur- ers, some of whom are known not to be making a great deal of money, more severely than their larger com- petitors, who are able to operate dm a more extensive scale. Collections arc also reported to be a little slow and that ready money is a little scarc<» Both Sumatra and Havana tobacco are selling in small lots, which are ap- parently needed in most instances for early use, as manufacturers have com- paratively little stock on hand, and. therefore, have needs for constant re plenishment. Upon the whole, conditions look fd vorable for a fair increase in business in the near future. * « « There is certainly no complaint com ing from the cigar manufacturers. Business with the most of them at present is so good that they have little time for fault-finding even if they had the inclination, but in which they would not be warranted by the actual conditions just now prevailing. In- deed, many of the factories are work- ing overtime, with considerable pros- pect of continuing to do so for some time to come. « « * The retail dealers seem to be at present sharing in a good measure in an increased business. We are in- formed by visiting cigar salesmen that a much greater inclination is shown to look over new lines than was the rule for many months, which is regarded not only as an indication of actual bet- terment of the conditions in the retail trade, but that they are eager to keep fully abreast of the rimes and be fully in the line of progress. IS Some of the retail dealers are not only amazed but actually alarmed at the very extensive campaign now be- ing waged by two rival manufacturers of a somewhat similar piece of low- priced package goods. Last week we announced the advertising campaign which had been commenced on the product of L Lewis & Co., in market- ing their "Cobs" brand more exten- sively in this city and vicinity. It is not a new piece of goods, but has beeii on the market for some months, and on sale at a large number of retail es- tablishments. Recently, however, the whole distributing agency of this piece of goods was given to Fring Bros & Co.. a very active house located in West Philadelphia, but aiming to cover practically the entire city in the dis- tribution of goods. * « • This week there was commenced also a campaign by the use of very extensive space in daily papers on Ha- vana Plums, a product of the American Cigar Co., and, which are being dis- tributed by practically all jobbing houses in the city. The Havana Plums is an article put up in a style that is almost identical with the Cobs of L Lewis & Co., it is also well known that the .American Cigar Co. is an extensive advertiser of any com- modity for which they wish to create a public demand, and consequently a contest seems to be on, the progress of which will be watched by many with great interest. The retail dealer is not the least interested person, but, as a matter of fact, it is becoming a conun- drum to him as to what the probable fact may be and, indeed, some are of the opinion that it is not unlikely that this class of goods will find favor among people who have been hereto- fore consumers of higher-priced goods, and that it may curtail their sale of the same in a preference for the cheaper goods, in which they claim there is a meagre percentage of profit. If that be really true, it would be rather a com- mentary upon the quality of the cheaper article, and if that be acknowl- edged, then the consumer would be the real beneficiary, even if the retailer be a loser to any extent. * * * Mr. Hillman, Jr., of the A.

THE HEFFENER PACKING BOX. .\ revelation is being brought about in the matter of packing boxes, and. which is an important item of expense* with every active cigar manufacturer. Naturally, every manufacturer will look; up all matters of economy in the con- duct of his business. They are natur- ally always eager to hear of lower prices in any article that enters as a necessity in the manufacturing busi- ness. H. W. HeflFener & Son, widely known in the trade as manufacturers of cigar and packing boxes, are introducing^ and, in fact, have now succeeded in in^ troducing to a large number of cigar manufacturers a new packing box for tiie shipment of cigars. For this new^ box there is claimed a number of cardi- nal points of merit, chiefly among which are, strength, light weight, neat- ness, wirebound and cheapness. Such a combination would certainly seem ta leave little room for further improve- ment. By the use of this packing case the objectionable feature of heavy weight is successfully overcome, and the consequent saving of cost in freight is very important. Nothing is sacri- ficed in strength, however, and yet it has all the attractiveness which a neat box can have. Of course, the cigar industry is only one of many lines of trade in which such an article can be advantageously utilized. Practically twenty-five per cent, of the freight charges on merchandise coiisist of the weight of the boxes in which the goods are retained. By a reduction of the weight of those boxes, the amount of the freight bills are- also reduced in proper proportion. The more the salient features of ad- vantage of the Heflfener case are point- ed out and expounded, the more gen- eral the use of the case becomes. Our Capacity for Manufacturing Cigar Boxes is— ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE GOOD CUSTOMER Monroe D. Sellers, Sellersville, Pa. THE TOBACCO WORLD Cigar Boxes H. W. Heffener Si Son York. Penna. There are those favorable opportuni- ties in men's lives, which if taken advan- tage of will take them far along the road toward the consummation of their ideals, and, too, there are those who have a strong intuition of that time and avail themselves of it, but never does this mysterious aid come without am- Jjition. Fixed purpose and determined effdrts invite success. Included in this narrow circle of men who have fought the battles successfully is Mr. H. W. Heffener, one of the popular and de- servedly successful cigar-box manufac- turers of York. It may truthfully be said that there are few men who have become so highly proficient in this line •of industry. Mr. Heffener has won his place by being allied tf) great appli- cation in business, and few can con- scientiously accept the praise which he so well merits. The gigantic enter; prises of such men are the lever which moves the wheels of the country's growth and improvements. The rec- ords of the lives of the i)ublic men fail to reveal the name of any who have at- tained a more dignified and commend- able stage of influence in that city. No matter in what position he may be placed in the affairs of life, he has always won for himself the most pro- found admiration of all who are capable of appreciating this element and true character of the man. With him, to resolve is to act, his word at all times is considered as good as a bond. Kind- Mr. H. W. HEFFENER ness seems to be the religion of his soul, while sympathy flows from a large heart, with a warm hand grasp for his friends and patrons, and when he calls a man his friend he means it with every drop of blood in his body. When recuperating from the cares of business, which has giiven him such high repute, his home is the ideal of his heart, and those who know his social life can sincerely con- gratulate him on being the centre of as amiable a family circle as graces any neighborhood. In his home he is as tender as a child and as brave-hearted as a man. The great success which has attended the business transactions of Mr. Heffener crowns his work with a completeness and grandeur worthy the emulation of all who would make a mark in life, leaving behind them the foot prints on the sands of time; and enables him as all true and noble men, to write his name upon the pillar of human fame. The son, Mr. George Heffener. is as- sociated with the father in business. He is a bright, intelligent young man> and he is endowed with a natural busi- ness talent and acumen, the geniality and courtesy with which he greets his friends and patrons, make his business relations marked and have won for hiin a large circle of friends by the exercise of his many excellent business qualities, the whole forming a combination of strength exercised throughout trade circles such as the firm of H. W. Hef- fener & Son has long sustained. The plant, which is a new, up-to-date one, is fully equipped with the very latest type of machinery and a feature worthy of mention, and one in which Mr. Heffener's boast is that the entire plant is upon the first floor, and any de- partment can be seen from the office. TOBACCO NEWS OF LANCASTER. Many Sales of 1908 Leaf and Consider- able Quantities Changed Hands. Diath of Menno M. Fry. Lancaster, Pa., Nov i. There have been a number of trans- acti(tns in leaf tobacco during the past week, and large quantities of tobacco changed ownership. M. M. Fry & Company have sold a packing of leaf to a large New York house. A. H. bondheimer has sold a packing of a little more than looo to a large manu- facturing firm, and the sales made by C. \W. Bitner & Company, recently to the American Cigar Company, has made it a rather lively period. The transactions were, of course, in 1908 tobacco. The report of the Revenue ofliee in- dicated a heavy increase in the pro- duction of cigars in this District. It is stated that the receipts from the sale of cigar stamps will exceed those of last month by $20,000. That would mean an increase in the production of cigars of 6,667,000. Manufacturers at the pres- ent time all seem busy and a large majority of them are working to their full capacity. Menno M. Fry, one of Lancaster's best known citizens, died on Friday night shortly after nine o'clock, at his residence, No. 624 West Chestnut street. Mr. Fry was in failing health for several years, and he spent the win- ters in Arizona, He returned home last June with his health improved. He had arranged to leave for Arizona next Tuesday for the winter. Several days ago Mr. Fry contracted a cold and pneumonia developed. He was not seriously ill until Friday, when he had a sudden relapse and death fol- lowed a few hours later. Mr. Fry was born at Millport, War- wick township, on September 3, 1854. 14 After a preliminary education in the schools of his native township he en- tered Millersville Normal School. Af- ter leavin<4 that sell jol he engaged in teaching for four terms. When he attained his majority he en- gaged in the manufacture of cigars at Rothsville, and c;)ntinued there for three years. He then removed to Lit- it'/, where he engaged in business as a cigar manufacturer on an extended scale, and he added a leaf tobacco de- partment. He continued in business at Lititz for twelve years, when he removed to this city and en/aged in the leaf tobac- co business with his brother, Phares W. Fry, under the firm name of ^L M. Fry & Brother. This firm began the leaf business on a modest scale on North Market street, but it increased so rapidly that the firm moved to the corner of Christian and Grant streets. The firm was dissolved after four years in business, and the subject of this sketch moved to the large ware- house on the opposite corner erected by the late Jacob L. Steinmetz, and after being in business there for a short time he admitted Charles Emory Long and Herbert P. Taylor. Subsequently the firm moved its Warehouse to Landisville, and Samuel N. Root and Phares W. Baker were admitted to the firm. The two latter withdrew from the firm on January i, 1907. and Messrs. Fry, Long and Tay- lor continued the business with a ware- house at Landisville and an ofifice in the Woolworth building. The packings of the firm aggregated several thou- sand cases annually. Mr. Fry was a Republican in politics. 1 he only official position he held was that of Jury Commissioner, to which -^ was elected in November, 1906. He resigned the position last November on account of his health. lie was one of the organizers of the local Tobacco Board of Trade, and was active in its work until a year ago. His wife was Miss Anna Hess, daughter of the late Captain Hess, of Safe Harbor, who was killed in the civil war. No children were born to them. Phares W. Fry is his only surviving brother. His sister is Susanna, wife of Benjamin Wissler, of Clay township, a former Register of Wills. At a special meeting of the Lancas- ter Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, held on October 30th, the following resolu- tion was adopted: Whereas, In view of the loss sustain- ed by this organization by the decease of our friend and fellow-member, Mr. Meninio M. Fry, and of the more severe loss sustained by those who were nearest and dearest to him; there- fore, be it Resolved, That it is but fitting (and a just tribute to the memory of the departed), to say that in regretting his removal from our midst, we mourn for one who was in every way worthy of t)ur highest esteem and regard. Resolved, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensation wiui which an all-wise Providence has aftlicted them, and can only commend them to Him whose chastisements are tempered with mercy. Resolved,- That this, our heartfelt testimony of our sympathy, be for- warded to the family of our departed friend, by the Secretary of this meet- ing. P. & S.

Decline of Over Eighteen Million Pounds in First Half of Calendar Year. The anxiety of tobacco producers over the future of the leaf situation grows in intensity as the days go by. The startling decline jn our ex- ports of leaf is /Causing "The Month- ly Summary of Commerce and Fi- nance,' 'issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States Government, to be eagerly scanned by leaf interests as its monthly issues appear. So far this year its pages oflfer no consolation or encouragement. From the July number of the pub- lication named it appears that for the first seven months of the current year our exports of leaf show a fall- ing oflF of 18,231,435 pounds, as com- pared with the corresponding months of the previous year. This in itself is not so bad, but taken in connec- tion with the fact that our exports of leaf last year fell off nearly 43,- 000,000 pounds, as compared with the year 1907, and that the year 1907 showed a falling off as compared with the year 1906, this radical progres- sive decline in our leaf exports be- comes little short of alarming. It is interesting, if not encouraging, to note the comparison of our ship- ments to the following named coun- tries for the first seven months of the years 1908 and 1909: Pounds Pounds FlrHt Seven Months 1908. 1909.

It goes to the retailers at $7.25 per M., packed ICO to the cartoon, each cartoon con- tain'ng a red certificate. This brings the cost to the retailer down to $6.00 per M., and it is a safe bet that retail- ers will push the sale of this brand.

Independent Tobacco Buyer Makes His Annual Visit. Richmond, Va., Oct. 28. Thomas Gallaher, of Belfast, Ire- land, considered the largest indepen- dent buyer of tobacco in the world, is at the Jefferson Hotel, on his an- nual trip to Kentucky, where he has large interests, exporting from that State immense shipments of tobacco every year. Mr. Gallaher will prob- ably leave the city to-day, but will return after his visit to Kentucky, to confer with his agents here. He is the most formidable enemy of the tobacco combinations in Eu- rope, and has successfully defied every efifort on their part to absorb his interests. Though, like all other dealers, he has suffered from the night rider raids in Kentucky, he has always shipped away his share of the crop at the end of the season. Last, year he was there in the midst of the excitement. This trip he expects to be a little more peaceful. # E^ THE TOBACCO WORLD ^^» PACKING HOUSES on Main Line of Penna. R. R.

MmtK The Leaf Export Situation. Continued from p. 15. sentment in a most effective manner. Coincident with this impressive de- cline in exports is the fact of our in- creased production of domestic leaf. The seriousness of this situation, especially as relates to Burley, is in- tensified by the addition of large and prolific new areas to Burley produc- tion in Missouri. West Virginia and other States. Indeed, recent trade and local papers have set forth in en thusiastic utterances the success of Burley growing in Virginia and de- claring that the Burley industry has a sure and bright future in that State. One account even claims that Vir ginia has produced several million pounds of Burley this year, with pros- pects of a tremendous increase in the future. In view of declining export de- mands and largely increased produc- tion, is there any wonder tint thoughtful tobacco growers arc be- coming concerned to the point of dis- may? In contemplation of this situa- tion is it the part of patriotism or prudence to foster pooling combina- tions which have in contemplation, whether admitted or not, the use of force to require the joining therein of unwilling growers? Will the re- currence of violence and anarchy at the hands of misinformed and mis- guided zealots and desperadoes in- duce foreign buyers to re-enter the field as purchasers? The declaration of the Governor of Kentucky that he "will pardon any man who resorts to arms to protect his home" may be right or wrong, hut the fact that he made such decla- ration is tremendously significant. A social condition the security of which is based on the slaughter of desper- adoes, with executive clemency for the slayers, is not an inviting field for the peaceful pursuits of merchan- dising. /\re the leaders and instigators of this turbulence and riot sincere in their declarations of aiming only and solely to bring "The Trust" to terms? Let the several suits brought against the pool and its beneficiaries by inde- pendent manufacturers who feel that they have been unfairly dealt with an- swer this question. The success of the last Burley pool, viewed from the standpoint of the omission of one crop, carrying kharges, expense of administration, and deprivation of proceeds for a painfully long and anxious period, is appearing more and more as a decep- tive mirage that lead its victims into the unwatered desert of disappoint- ment.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 28. William Loeb, Jr., Collector of Cus- toms at New York, has not been cen- sured by the Treasury Department for having guaranteed immunity to certain weighers who provided evi- dence for the detection of customs frauds. Instead Mr. Loeb was com- plimented all around the circle of Government offices which he visited, and returned to New York this after- noon with no idea but to press the inquiry. Revelations of undervaluation in to- bacco imports may next be expect- c:l. but whether criminal intent will he sh.own to the same extent as in the sugar weighing frauds is not yet certain. The Department of Justice investigators have dug up all sorts of suspicious connections between cus- tom-; employes and importers of ar- ticles which have large value for bulk, : uch as tobacco. As fast as the evi- dence is perfected it will be turned over to the United States District At- torney. "I can imagine no influence con- nected with the Government's in- quiry into these cases that is in the least degree disposed to shield any- one, but it would be poor policy for the Department to show its case be- fore completion," said Acting Secre- tary Hilles, of the Treasury Depart- ment. While the fraud perpetrated on the Government amounts to millions of dollars annually for years, there is no accurate means of calculating t*hc loss.. It cost the Sugar Trust more than $3,()()0.()()0 to make up for de- tected frauds. So far as the inves- tigation has gone it is said that no important man "higher up" has been revealed. Officials of the Treasury Department seem content to believe that tlie graft has been monopolized by small salaried and per diem em- ployes, and that the superiors have remained poor and ignorant of the pilfering below. The Treasury Department is sup- porting Mr. Loeb in every way. In answer to criticisms of unduly severe personal baggage examination, it is pointed out tiiat the revenues from this source since the stricter inspec- tion began arc nearly $1,000,000 greater than the corresponding per- iod last year. rAHUSSEvl LEAFTOMCCOCa THE BEST ORGANIZED MOST COMPLETE AND LARGEST MAIL ORDES LEAF TOBACCO ESTABLISHMENT IM AMERICA NEW YORK CHICAGO ST.

NEW ENGLAND'S 1909 CROP. Duty Demanded Because of Tranship- ment Exceeded the Price. New York, Nov. 6. More than 250,000 cigars, which were originally designed for smokers in this •city, are now on their way back to Ma- nila, and are likely to be consumed by natives of the Philippines. Edward Wise, Vice President of the United Cigar Stores Company, went over to Manila last spring and made contracts with seven of the large cigar manufacturers there. That was before the new tariff schedule went into ef- fect, allowing the free entry of 150,000,- 000 cigars a year into this country from the Philippines, provided they were shipped here direct. The old duty on cigars was $4.50 a thousand and 25 per cent, specific tax on their value. This amounted to about eight and one- half cents a piece on the average cigar, according to officials of the United Cigars Stores Company. Just about the time the new tariff law went into effect 255.000 Manila ci- gars were shipped. They went first to Canton, China, and were transferred to another steamship, and then came on to San Franciscoi, where they were placed in a warehouse. The Govern- ment officials refused to allow them to leave the warehouse unless duty at the old rate was paid. Mr. Wise appealed to President Taft. In reply he received a telegram from J. B. Reynolds, As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury, say- ing that the Department's decision relative to the Philippine cigars was in full accordance with the intent of the law and that he would have to decline to authorize the free entry of such ci- gars. Inquiry disclosed that the Depart- ment's ruling was that no cigars which are trans-shipped could be allowed to €nter the United States as direct ship- ments. The company decided to re- lease a small quantity of the cigars, pay duty on them, and make a test case. The United Cigar Stores Com- pany will sue the Government, it says, to recover the money paid as duty. As for the remainder of the cargo, it start- ed back for Manila a few weeks ago. GOODRUM CO. IN NEW QUARTERS. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4. The J. J. Goodrum Tobacco Com- pany, of which J. W. Davis is presi- dent, has moved from T2 North Broad street to 176 and 178 Marietta street, )n order to secure larger quarters made necessary through the rapid growth of their business. It was only a short while ago that this company moved into the Broad street building for the same reason. In their new location, known as the Ford-Johnson site, this company will have a frontage of 46 feet on Marietta street and a depth of 300 feet. Formed by Merging the Business of Two Old Firms. Will Employ 700 Hands. Reading, Pa., Nov. 5. The cigar factory of J. W. Sheri- dan, at 133 Peal street, and that of P. H. Hildebrandt, at 213 North Tenth street, this city, have been closed by Internal Revenue Collector Cranston, having been purchased by the Porta Vatia Cigar Company, which will merge the two, having filed a $10,000 bond for the manufacture of cigars here. It is the intention of the company to make extensive improvements and manufac- ture cigars on a large scale. It ex- pects to employ about 700 hands. AMERICAN TOBACCO CO.'S APPEAL. Justification of Business Methods May be Company's Plea. Washington. D. C, Nov. 5- While the Government is not com- miting itself touching any new moves to be made in the American Tobacco Company's appeal case, the tobacco company, according to the legal de- partment, is ready for the hearing, De- cember 13. The Government's brief is now in the hands of Attorney-General Wickersham, who at the time of the postponement declared he wished to familiarize himself with the details of the case. Mr. W^ickersham. however, has not as yet decided whether he will appear personally. It is evident that the American Tobacco Company has made every preparation to present its side of the issue in the most direct manner, and the brief shows that the paramount plea will be in the direction of entire justification of business meth- ods. CLEARED FROM THE DOCKET. A Fine Grade Produced in the Gallatin District. Gallatin, Tenn., Nov. 4. Much interest is centered throughout this section of the country in the ex- perimental crop of burley tobacco now being placed upon the market. A small quantity of the burley tobacco was raised last year upon the famous Fairview Farm and the success met by the raisers encouraged and the plant- ing this year of probably 200 acres on Fairview and other farms near Gal- latin. This is now ready for the mar- ket and purchasers have been here from Louisville and other markets to buy, which evidences that this section produces as good a quality of burley as even the "burley district." A num- ber of the crops, which average about ten acres each, have been sold from 10 to 13 cents. Success of those en- gaged this season will insure a much larger crop for next year. The sales made were early and before the market had well opened and it is believed that the bulk of the crop will command a better price. Also, the growers this season have been new hands, without experience in this kind of tobacco, and it is thought that the cultivation can be perfected and a much better yield liaid in future years. ANOTHER *'UNITED" IN SCRANTON. Pooled Tobacco Suits in Christian Co., Ky., Have Been Wound Up. Hopkinsville, Ky., Nov. 4. With the dismissal here, last week, of two indictments against the Imperial Tobacco Company, charging them with having unlawfully purchased pooled tobacco, the docket was cleared of all the indictments returned last winter charging tobacco dealers and farmers with violation of the Crecelius law, which makes it a misdemeanor for a farmer to sell his tobacco after it has been pooled, or a dealer to knowingly buy such pooled tobacco. The indict- ments were indorsed "dismissed for want of proof." One other case went out of court on a demurrer attacking the constitutionality of the law itself, and an appeal was taken to settle the matter. The Court of Appeals has not yet passed upon the question. — The United Cigar Company will soon occupy the store at Third street and Central avenue, Dover, N. H. The Big Concern Gets Ten-Year Lease on Corner Property. Scranton. Pa., Nov. 4. Another store is to be opened in this city by the United Cigar Stores Com- pany, the management of that concern having secured a ten-year lease on the first floor of the Myer Davidow prop- erty at the northwest corner of Lack- awanna and Washington avenues. The cigar company has leased the corner section of the ground floor, a space 15x25 feet in size, and after April I. 1910, when the present leases expire, will remodel the entire ground floor of the building and install one of their stores in the corner section. They also hold an option on the lease for the en- tire building. The United Cigar Stores Company already has two stores in this city, one at Lackawanna and Wyoming avenues, and one at Washington avenue and Spruce street. The price of the lease was not stated. — The province of Prince Edward Island, Canada, has ceased to produce tobacco, all attempts having proved unprofitable. The rest of Canada pro- duced 11,266, 732 pounds in 1908, near- ly all in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. The Dominion turned out $15,274,923 worth of tobacco manufac- tured), cigars, cigarettes and snuff in 1908, besides importing $3,385,348 worth, of which $3,247,429 worth was from the United States. Estimated that theGrowers May Receive Over Six Million Dollars. Springfield, Mass., Nov. 3. A record tobacco crop in point of returns to the farmer has been har- vested in New England. While it is true that the prices obtained per pound for the famous 1892 yield will not be equalled by this season's crop, and also true that the 1907 tobacco acre- age exceeded that of either this year or last, the fact remains that increased acreage as compared with 1892 will bring the aggregate value of this year's crop well above that of 1892, and that the higher price of the 1909 crop, as compared with the yield of 1907, insures returns a third larger than those of 1907. Conservative estimates are that the 7000-acre crop of New England tobacco will yield the growers between $6,000,- 000 and $6,500,000, that upward of $4,- 000,000 of this amount will go to Con- necticut Valley growers, and that the farmers of Suffield, Conn., alone will receive not less than $1,250,000 for the 3300 acres of fine leaf grown in that town. The new crop is of good weight and body, free from white veins and the usual run of imperfections. Its best recommendation is that buyers are making liberal purchases at the highest prices in recent years. In the broad- leaf district, near Hartford, Conn., from 25 to 35 cents per pound has been paid for choice crops. From 15 to 20 cents is being paid for the run of the crop of Havana seed tobacco, with some sales of inferior leaf below these figures and extra choice crops selling higher than 20 cents. The following summary has been condensed from reports furnished to the New England Homestead: Windham Co., Vt. — Vernon has 18 acres. The yield 1800 pounds to the acre, compared with 1900 last year. Some sold at 14c and 15c per pound in the bundle. Quality of the crop good. Hartford Co., Ct. — We raised on our plantation 115 acres, same as last year. Yield 1700 to 1800 pounds to the acre, compared with 1900 a year ago. Cu- ban tobacco yielded iioo pounds and Havana 1900. Quality No. i, color me- dium. Tariffville, Ct. — We grow about 20 acres of tobacco and prime it all. We find we can more than double the per- centage of light wrappers by so doing. As this is our third year at priming we are convinced that it is the proper way to harvest tobacco. We can increase our profits and that is what we are in the business for. Area in Simsbury township 325 acres, same as last year. The yield 1750 pounds to the acre, compared with 1700 in 1908. All Havana seed, quality good, color light. About 40 per cent. E. A.

Squads of determined smokers, aver- aging a dozen each, wearing badges "We Smoke or We Don't Ride," in- vaded the Oak Park elevated trains yesterday and stood ofif the guards and special detectives. In one instance the guard, in desperation, stopped his train, announcing that it would not move until the smoking ceased. The smok- ers complied, but all lighted again as soon as the train pulled out of the station. A mass meeting will be held Mon- day to fight the rule abolishing smok- ing cars, and a fund is being collected to force the company to elevate its tracks through Austin and Oak Park. The special detectives employed by the company were able yesterday to eject offenders against the rule, but yester- day the smokers were evidently banded together for trouble and proved too formidable. Men who never smoked before have taken up the habit in de- fiance of the rule. It is now feared the fight will ex- tend to other lines. The Law and Or- der League declined to take any part in the controversy. City ordinances forbid expectorating in cars, but there is no city law against smoking. THE PRIVILEGE TO SELL TOBACCO. How Blueiackets While on Shore and in Shelter Light Their Pipes. In a New York barroom where many of the bluejackets who manned the fleets present at the Hudson-Fulton celebration, took their nightcaps before returning to their ships, a petty officer said to a landlubber acquaintance: "See how the boys hold their pipes!" Almost every one of them had the bowl of his pipe covered by the arched fingers of his hand. "See?" said the petty officer. "Now wait till one of them lights his pipe." In a little while a sailor filled his pipe, got out his match and faced the open door of the barroom. There was not a breath of breeze coming through the door, but the sailor covered the lighted match and the pipe bowl with one hand while he was getting a light, and after he had thrown the match away he continued to smoke with his fingers arched over the pipe bowl. "Force of habit," said the petty offi- cer. "He doesn't intend that the pip- ing breeze shall blow the lighted to- bacco out of his pipe." One Way by Which France Assists Her Deserving Servants. The French have always desired a paternal government, whether it hap- pened to be a monarchy, an empire, or a republic, and the government has al- ways endeavored to live up to the de- sire of the people. It would be utter- ly impossible for the government to allow pensions to all who they think should receive public assistance — and the French think that the widows and children of all men who have been of service to the nation, or by their high rank in the arts and sciences have conferred honor upon it, should be in- cluded in this group, so, in lieu there- of, the widow of a great man may be given a permit to keep a tobacco shop. This is not such a small concession as might appear at first glance. The government exercises a rigid super- vision over the tobacco trade, and ci- gars and tobacco may be sold only in shops holding a license. Nor is it ex- pected that the aristocratic grantee will personally wait behind her little counter. The permit is, in short, a thing of considerable value, and the shop which its possessions makes pos- sible may be counted on to yield a good income for life. About 250 such concessions are made each year, and among the holders are the widow of M. Simon, the great political economist, and Mme. Lades-Gout, mother-in-law of the French Ambassador to the Pa- pal Court. — The Dover Cigar Company has purchased the cigar factory of Fred Rlanchard, in Dover, N.

Perez & Hno. sold 3700 bales ot Remedios tobacco last week. A. Bijur, of E. Rosenwald & Broth- er, who arrived here ten days ago, was the largest buyer of leaf tobacco Havana has seen for some time. His total purchases have exceeded 7000 bales, representing close on to half a million of dollars, as he has only bought the finest escojidas of Reme- dios and Vuelta Abajo, and prices were less an object to him than to se- cure the very cream of the 1909 crop. Heinrich Neuberger was the favored commission merchant, and assisted Mr. Bijur in securing over 5000 bales of first and second capaduras, while Leslie Pantin was the broker on 2000 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Puente, Granda & Company were sellers of 2500 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Partido and Remedios during the last €ight days. The heavy leaf dealer of New York, who was mentioned in last week's re- port, did not disappoint the expecta- tion of his brokers, as it was learned from good authority that he has also purchased 5000 or more bales. B. Diaz & Company disposed of 1500 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. S. Ruppin was the third largest buyer in town, as his accumulations on this trip have been a trifle over 2000 bales of excellent vegas of all kinds of leaf. Saurez Hnos. closed out 1300 bales of Remedios from their holdings. J. F. Berndcs & Company were buy- -ers and shippers of 1478 bales of leaf tobacco to Austria and Germany last week, which, with the previous week, makes over 2600 bales in a fortnight. Cano & Hno. turned over 1200 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Partido and Reme- dios during the last eight days, which makes their total sales for the month of October 4200 bales. D. A. Murphy and William J. Hol- man, who left for St. Paul early last week, had bought and shipped to them 1037 bales of leaf tobacco. Sobrinos de A Gonzalez only report sales of 830 bales of all kinds of leaf tobacco, but as they have quite a num- ber of vegas sold, but not examined yet, they did not wish to state more than was actually delivered, as shown by their sales book. George Knispel, who left the last week, had purchased a little over 1000 bales of fine factory vegas for the Kuhles & Stock Company, of St. Paul. J. F. Rocha sold 507 bales of Vuelta Abajo, including some Partido wrap- pers. H. Upniann & Company shipped 734 bales of leaf tobacco to Europe and to the United States. Muniz Hno. & Company were sellers of 400 bales of Remedios and Vuelta Abajo. Ernest Ellinger & Company shipped 223 bales of leaf tobacco last week. Herrera Calniet & Company dispos- ed of 325 bales of Remedios during the last eight days. Frank Dominguez is hard at work collecting a fresh supply for E. A. Calves & Company, Philadelphia. A. Pazos & Company closed out 324 bales of Vuelta Abajo from their choice holdings. Heinrich Neuberger shipped 311 bales of leaf tobacco to Europe and the United States last week. Their large warehouse at 15 Monte street, is a scene of continuous activity; carts can always, be seen loading or unloading tobacco. In their spacious "patio" to- bacco is either laid out for examina- tion or is being baled for shipment. Their several escojidas in the Santa Clara province evidently have not fin- ished yet, as the weekly manifests of the steamers or railroads contain the name of Heinrich Neuberger as con- signee. At the rate this house is prog- ressing, it will soon be necessary to buy a plot of ground and construct a build- ing which will hold 50,000 bales of leaf tobacco. Jorge & P. Castaneda sold 318 bales of Vuelta Abajo last week. A. M. Calzada & Company appear to be very busy, but Don Antonio being out with a customer when your corre- spondent called, no exact information could be obtained. They shipped 118 bales last week to the United States. Jose H. Cayro & Hijo were sellers of 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Par- tido. A. Moeller was a shipper of 998 bales of leaf tobacco to the United States and Germany last week. H. H. Strater, who has a warehouse at 26 Galiano street, has been quite a shipper to Germany as well as to the United States of late. The remains of Don Louis Muniz arrived here on the 28th of October per French Steamship Virginie, and the funeral took place on the follow- ing afternoon, from 20 Reina street. The whole tobacco trade, as well as a number of cigar manufacturers, bank- ers and other merchants, were assem- bled to show their sympathy and re- spect. The hearse was drawn by eight horses, and the floral tributes were numerous and costly. A requiem mass was chanted at the chapel in C(jlon Cemetery before the body was finally laid at rest.

CARTER. • Owing to the death of T. O.

Mr. Carter stood high in public es- teem, and is reputed to have accumu- lated quite a competency from the business which he had for so many years conducted. * Hi m EL, WARD HO FACTORY PROGRESS. We are informed by H. W. Reid- ner, manager of the El Ward Ho Cigar Co., at Media, Pa., that good progress ir, now being made, and that much success has been attained with a brand of cigars recently introduced on the market under the title of "For- est Days," the trade-mark of which is •depicted in the registration columns of this issue. It seems that some sampling in the trade had been done, and that it result- ed most encouragingly with many sam- ple orders, which are beginning to du- plicate. The factory, we are told, is being operated overtime, and that an increase in the force is now neces- sary. The illustration above referred to, it might be stated, is made from a draw- ing which is the product of Mr. Reid- ner, and shows his handicraft in that direction. He is also known as an art- ist of considerable local repute. J. H. LIEFTINCK & ZOON Sworn Tobacco Brokers Office and Sample Rooms : Brakke Grond and Frascatt. AMSTERDAM, HOLLAND. LOOKING FOR OLD LEAF IN YORK. Asking Prices are Considered High, But tlie Goods are Tal^en. York, Pa., Nov. 8. Dealers from different sections of the country are here looking after old tobaccos, but packers are asking prices that seem rather high to them, but in many instances the goods are taken at the prices demanded, because it is known that there is not an over abundance of it to be had. Growers have thus far been rather slow to sell their crops of 1909, and it is claimed that the fact that there is rather a scarcity of old leaf has much to do with their apparent indifference about selling at present, and at the prices which have so far been the rule of offer. C. S. Gable, of York, has arranged to operate a cigar factory at Wrights- ville. Tobaccos are being transported to that place, and work is to be com- menced forthwith, with a good force of cigar makers. Roseman Bros. & Blouse, of Red Lion, tobacco buyers, have com- menced operations in the 1909 crops. Prices have thus far been ranging from 8 to 9 cents per pound. In the matter of John A. Sterner, cigar manufacturer near Hanover, a bankrupt, Alfred M. Kell, Esq., of this city, has been appointed trustee. The schedule of liabilities places the amount he owes at $14,851.17, and the assets at $4600.68, and among which assets is a piece of real estate which is somewhat encumbered with liens. J. W. Minnich, the well-known cigar manufacturer of Dallastown, and who was severely injured some time ago while attempting to crank an auto- mobile, has recovered from the effects to such an extent that he is able to be about on crutches. At the close of business on October 30th, the receipts from the sale of revenue stamps in this division of the Ninth District, had amounted to $100,- 000 for the month of October, repre- senting an output of cigars of 33,334,- 000. This exceeds the September re- ceipts by $11,000, or 3,6667,000, and also exceeds October, 1908, by $8000, or 2,667,000. There was an unusually large Continued on p. 13. 0= H.

NOVEMBER 10, 1909 THE LOCAL TOBACCO NEWS No great activity was shown in the leaf market during the past week, but business was confined largely to a routine nature. Purchases were ap- parently made with a view to satis- fying the needs of an immediate fu- ture. The presence of a representa- tive of the trade in Ohio seems to have had the goodly effect of stirring up some increased interest in that type of goods, and several transac- tions were consummated. The demand for Sumatra tobaccos has been only normal and no particu- lar spurt is now looked for during the remainder of the year. Manufactur- ers are, however, liable to find unex- pected needs before the close of the year, and dealers still feel sanguine that considerable quantities will yet be used. The Havana market remains practi- cally unchanged, with a steady market for offerings that are desirable in quality and satisfactory in price. « * « The cigar industry is at present about as brisk as it has ever been at this time of the year, with the possi- ble exception qf some of the smaller manufacturers who are complaining that they are not doing as well as they did before the panicky times of 1907. ♦ ♦ ♦ The retail dealers seem to be.uni- lormly well satisfied, and report gains in both their box and transient trade. And yet the jobbers declare there is not the snap to the retail trade that there should be, and that in conse- quence their business is not as brisk as might be expected at this time of the year. Little has yet been heard of special lines of holiday goods being taken on by local dealers, and since Philadelphia is not so much of a nov- elty market as some other cities, it is hardly to be expected that any special strides will be this year made in that direction. * • « Henry T. Frey, formerly a member of the leaf tobacco trade of this city, and the senior member of the firm of Freyer & Eisenlohr, died last week, at his home in Tioga, Philadelphia. Upon the dissolution of the firm Frey retired from active business, having a competency of worldly goods. He was universally liked in 12 the trade, and the deepest regret at his demise is being felt by all who knew him. « « « J. Pierce Flow ers, a veteran tobacco salesman, and who has been for many years the district manager of the sales forces of the Lovell-Buffington To- bacco Co., of Covington, Ky., died last week at his home in this city. Mr. Flowers was in failing health for several years, but at intervals contin- ued to call on some of his many old friends in the trade. He is regarded as the oldest traveling man in these parts. * • * Henry Kraus, of Kraus & Co., Bal- timore, was a visitor among his friends in this city this week. 4t * 4t Al. Metzger, of Berriman Bros., also had a short chat with some of the leading dealers here this week. * * * Charles L. Staples, with Salvador Rodriguez, was showing a line of his clear Havana cigars. * * * Reports received this week indicate that all the leading retail dealers of this city are interested in the pro- posed meeting to be held some time during the present month for the pur- pose of forming an active and per- manent organization. * * * William F. Cressman, with the A. B. Hess Cigar Co., of Lancaster, stopped in Philadelphia this week, en route to his regular trade in Eastern Pennsylvania. * * m A new Everybody's Cigar Store is being opened at 24 North Tenth street, and fixtures are being put into place this week, under the direction of Fred W. Hoch. This will be an- other branch of the Ninth and Filbert streets store. * * * L. A. Wheeler, of Allen & Wheeler, leaf tobacco packers, at Troy, Ohio, was a visitor in the Philadelphia leaf market this week. A. D. Killheffer, a prominent cigar manufacturer of Millersville, Pa., was this week calling on his trade in this city, and where he has a number of good accounts. TRADE MARKS REGISTERED.

Concluded on p. 11 number of new factories started in this district during the month of October, among which were the following: Tedae Cigar Company, Loganville, to employ 40 hands; Aquilla Wallick, East Prospect; John O. Sleeker, York; Mt. Rock Cigar Company, Centennial; John W. Kline, East Prospect; Arthur Snyder, Red Lion; Little Bros., Han- over; John T. Reachard, Craley; J. J.

Gohn, Bit- tersville, and Arthur C. Winter, Craley. The York Tobacco Company, of this city, has lately purchased a large lot of Connecticut leaf. There is a con- stantly growing demand for this type of tobacco in this section, and the above firm is recognized as one of the leaders in handling that line. A fire of supposedly incendiary ori- gin occurred in the cigar store of F. Hartman, S. E. corner Queen and Prospect street, one morning last week, but the blaze was extinguished by the use of chemicals before much damage had been done. An extension to the Merchants' Ci- gar-box factory is to be made at once, at Dallastown. The plans are ready and the execution of the work has beeiv placed with a local contractor. The- present facilities are said to have be- come entirely inadequate. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Havana Tobacco Ferment Merely Flavorinii Your Tobacco does not destroy the foreign and objectionable matter found in heavy, gummy tobaccos — nor does it give you satisfactory results. You Must Destroy and remove all this rankness and coarseness — and yet you do not want to destroy the leaf itself. You wish the Pure leaf for your cigars. Havana Tobacco Ferment Does This: It acts chemically on all foreign pigments and gums. Thoron^hly Destroys and Removes All Undesirable Elemental It gives you the Pure Leaf and Best Part of it. It gives a thoroughly clean leaf. Then Use Any Flavor You Wish, and you will have as fine a cigar as can be produced by any domestic or foreign tobacco. Each cigar that you sell, made of tobacco thus treated, means a satis- fied customer who will buy your cigars exclusively. Havanallln — It's a Natural Havana Ci- gar Flavor. Something we've made a specialty of. No better made. Cuban Licorice— CASING WINE— is no longer an experiment. You need ours to in- crease your trade. I /Icme Extract and Chemical Works EDWIN G.

Leaf Purchases Were Mostly by Manu- facturers for Immediate Use. Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 8. Operations in leaf tobacco have quieted down very much during the past week, and transactions consisted mostly of purchases by manufacturers by immediate use. It was, of course, quite a contrast when compared with the greater activities of a short time ago, but it is not unlikely that the market will again enliven when the manufacturers get down to normal conditions, for some of them at pres- ent are concerned more about tilling the orders which they are now re- ceiving than they are about securing a stock of leaf. Besides, the prices have also stiffened to such an extent that buying naturally would fall oflf except where it was a matter of actual necessity, and speculation is not en- tering into it very largely now. The cigar industry is upon the ■whole quite good, and in fact there are some complaints heard here and there of a shortage in cigarmakers to get goods out fast enough. The re- port of stamp sales issued by the Col- lector of Internal Revenue shows an output in the Ninth District during the month of October of 82,886,000. This is a gain of 11,200,000 as com- pared with October of 1908, and a gain over the preceding month of September of 19,432,000. October has for many years been the leading month in the production of cigars, and the production of October of this year breaks all records for that month dur- ing the past ten years. The nearest approach to it was October, 1907, when the production was 80,609.000. There is apparently very little buy- ing yet of the new crops, and farmers seem to be demanding high figures, which probably accounts for the fact that so little has as yet been actually bought. Several tobacco cases are scheduled to come up in the Superior Court dur- ing the session just convening at Philadelphia. Among these cases is that of W. B. Sherts vs. L. P. Kim- mig & Co., of Philadelphia, packers of leaf tobacco, with warehouse at Lan- caster. The action grew out of the purchase of some tobacco by Kimmig from Sherts, and which resulted in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff when the case came up in the Common Pleas Court of Lancaster County, but was appealed by the defendant. — Frank J. Fagan has purchased the cigar stand of W. F. Courtney, at 162 Main street, Norwich, Conn. — August Lindell, a leading cigar- maker, of Rockford, ,111., will open a factory at 1007 Seventh street. His leading brand will be the Rockford Club. — Notice has been filed by the Scot- ten Tobacco Company, of Detroit, Mich., of an increase of its capital stock from $50,000 U) $200,000, of which $100,000 is paid in. — James M. Mason, local manager for Dunnington & Company, tobacco buyers, of Lynchburg, Va., died sud- denly at his home, of heart failure, on October 25. He was 65 years of age, and leaves a wife, son and daughter. Capacity 25.000 per day Tele^ph-YOtK. PA. C La Imperial Gi^ar Factory J. F. SECHRIST.

Agents Said to be Seeking to Securj Control of Tobacco Monopoly. Constantinople, Oct. 30. The American Tobacco Company, on whose estates at Salonica the for- mer Sultan is now a prisoner, is re- porte:l to be behind the $20,000,000 syndicate which is dickering with the Young Turks' Government for the Regie monopoly. The Regie's con- tract does not actually expire, under its terms, for another year, but the Tobacco Trust's agents, it is said, are using influence on the party in power to exercise its right to close the ex- isting contract and make a new one. The Turkish tobacco monopoly is now held by the Regie, backed by the French and Austrian Rothschilds. Tl.e Regie has the exclusive privilege of manufacturing and selling cigar- ettes within the empire, but there is no restriction of the growth or sale of leaf tobacco, which the Regie buys in the open market, the same as any other dealer. There is a small export duty based on ciuantity, which supplements the revenue derived by the Turkish Gov- ernment from the Regie, a fixed an- nual payment of $v^,v300,00(), at present part of the security for the payment of the national debt. The principal growing sections are Cavalla, Xan- chie, Yenidze, ^erres and Salonica. France does not buy Turkish tobac- co, the F'rench Regie using blends of .Algerian and American leaf. In ad- dition to the Turkish leaf a good deal of Smyrna and Asia Minor leaf is used by cigarette makers. riie Young Turks expect to pay a good deal of the national debt out of the American craze for Turkish ciga- rettes, and if the American Tobacco Company gets the Regie monopoly Thomas F. Ryan will help support Constantinople. New York, Nov. 6. While there is no confirmation of the report that the American Tobacco Company is soon to control the tobac- co business in Turkey, which is a gov- ernment monopoly, it has been learned that the matter has been under con- sideration for some years. Some time ago the company sent an expert to Turkey, but negotiations, which were almost completed for the transfer of the business, were broken off because the English tobacco fight happened along and the American Tobacco Com- pany considered that it had enough to do without taking on more responsi- bilities. It is asserted on good authority that thfe Turkish cigarette trade has as- sumed such proportions that it will be injurious to the company to have other interests get ahead in Turkey. A number of European capitalists have recently entered the field as likely to bid for the business. SUBSTITUTES FOR TOBACCO. The Indians along the Alaska coast have a very curious substitute for to- bacco, which is composed of wood shavings saturated with a strong solu- tion of pepper. The practice, ' how- ever, is extremely injurious, the strong fumes acting on the mouth and eye- sight, says the National Food Maga- zine. Among the farmers of the West it is no uncommon practice for them to smoke the leaves of tomato and potato plants. While these plants both con- tain a narotic poison, the smoking of leaves in moderation is harmless. Ex- cessive use, though, produces a heavy stupor, from which the smoker awakes with a terrible headache and a feeling of utter exhaustion. Insanity and suicide have often been caused by the immoderate use of these two weeds. Rhubarb, beet and even garden sage leaves are all smoked by # ^^^THE TOBACCO WORLD ^^ Florin, Pa.

Ormuz. a ten-center, and Raimio. a l.')-cent package. Alfred l'.)ll. the gei ial representa- tive of S. Monday & Sons. Xew York, has been here for several days taking orders for Beacon Lights. Imperial- ettes and other brands of his firm's manufacture. The Imperialette, a I») for J.')C. package of little cigars, has a nice growing sale in this locality. Rumors have reached the Hub that the Allen Tobacco Co., of Xew York. maker.s of the Telonettes and other brands selling well here, have con- solidated with the I. Lewis & Co., of Newark. X. J., ah-^o cigar ma; uf ictur- ers of note. This ought to prove a good combination. The Havana Plums, which took lijston by storm last week, continue to sell good. Jobbers here have been well supplied with these goods, and they are pushing same off at a great rate. These go )ds are being heavily advertised by huge posters and in the daily newspapers, and retailers are lindirg a ready sale for them. The coming week will see a new 'ic c.rk tip cigarette in this market, by the name of Fez, a similar package to the Hindu, and made by the same con- cern— the American Tobacco Com- pany. The price to the retailers is $3.85 per M, with 4 red certificates to each thousand, bringing down the actual co^t to $;i.:{.") per M. It is ex- pected that in a short while this brand will prove a big hit. The Turkey Red, the new ten-cent plain tip cigarette, which made its Boston debut this week, is selling big without any ad- vertising matter whatever. This brand figure^ down to $<> per M. and hence the anxiety of dealers to jnish the sale ol :t. ^ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦^♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦'♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦4 ♦♦♦♦♦♦>♦♦♦♦♦♦ •t ♦ ♦ ♦ X ♦ ♦ ♦ t ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ \ I ♦ ♦ ♦ X H.

The Surbrug Co.'s offer of a 1.5 per cent, gratis deal on their Grain Cut tobacco has helped along the sale of this brand considerably. Frank Swick and his crew of salesmen are doing good work on all the brands of smok- ing tobacco made by this concern, and at the same time are not neglect- ing the sales of Miles, Dolma and Arabs. Henry A. Hershey, formerly with the plug tobacco department of the A. T. Co., is here with a crew of five men working the trade in the interests of the Blue Grass Tobacco Works, of Lexington, Ky. They are pushing the sale of Xew England cut plug, packed in 21/2 oz. bags, and New England plug, light and darlv smoking tobacco. An office has been established at 29 Central street. New England cut plug costs the retailer 50 cents per pound, and retails at 10 cents a bag. yielding a handsome profit of 14 cents a pound, or 2S per cent. Rafey Xehaerzie (John J. Bagley & Co.) was in Worcester the past week and reports having had big business there on Buckingham cut plug. Charley Ellis (Nestor. Gianacles & Co.) has returrcd from his trip South, looking hale and hearty. Charley cer- t.'iinly had a good trip, from what he told me. The Turco American Tobacco Com- pany's Astron cigarette is being fea- tured by many of. our cut-price drug- gists as the leading 15c. brand. Nu- merous window displays arc being made throughout the city, and Andy Chandler, the firm's Eastern repre- sei tative, is on the job for fair. Harry Goldman, a prominent retail- er in Chelsea, has just filed a petition into bankruptcy. Rosenthal Bros., the Hanover street wholesalers, report a splendid increas- ing business for the past month. R. B. Special Invincible is making a big hit here, and has an excellent distribution. This concern also are distributors for the Masterpiece, Grand Order and E. G. Perez & Co.'s line of Porto Rican cigars. Mr. Roitman, wholesale and retail tobacconist, at 33 Beach street, has just made many useful alterations in his store to cope with his increasing business. The new silent salesman cases are of the most modern design. Boston has the cigarette picture craze. Old and young alike appear to be saving the various kinds of pictures now packed in nearly every brand of cigarettes on the market, in hopes of gettmg a complete collection of the same.

American Buyers in the Field. Many Contracts Made. Janesville, Wis., Nov. 20. Efforts to revive the buying move- ment are noticeable in many of the growing districts again. Buyers in the employ of the American Tobacco Company have been sent out for a ■class of goods heretofore largely neg- lected. Their offerings are, of course, considerably below those of previous quotations and their work of breaking down prices to 5 to 7 cents necessarily slow. In the aggregate, however, quite a respectable number of contracts have been closed. Moist, warm weather has prevailed during the week, which has given these buyers a chance to exam- ine the leaf and at the same time has assisted materially in the curing of the late harvested tobacco. There is a growing demand for old leaf of all descriptions, though the cheaper leaf that will meet the de- mands of exporters or manufacturers who are willing to take "off" goods is more largely sought after. While a few lots of tops have been sold at sat- isfactory prices, we also learn of sev- eral trades under consideration that embrace moderate sized transactions. Packers report increased inquiry for samples and a more hopeful tone per- vades the market generally. '06 SALES SLOW. "What is the matter with the 1906 •crop?" This question has been fre- quently asked by people familiar with the fact that it has been an incubus upon the market for the past two years and they are still looking for a satis- factory answer. The answer is easy — the market has been poisoned. Pri- marily, it was the price The tobacco costs too much money. The grower was the man who pocketed the profits, while everybody else who touched it was sorry. No crop ever grown in the State is due to lose the general packer so much money as the 1906, and yet the crop contained some of the l)est bidders the State has ever pro- duced. The unusual percentage of dam- age that came in the cure when first sampled was thrown upon the market at whatever figures it would bring and the manufacturers who bought it were disappointed in the results, and thus the crop got a black eye which has ever since been extremely hard to get away from. The sound, desirable bind- ers of the 1906 crop are all right and meet the requirements of the trade, and but for the reputation that has been tagged to it it would be in good demand yet. These goods have been slandered, maligned and sacrificed so long that some packers have lost hope that they will ever regain their stand- ing in the trade. There are, however, some manufacturers who recognize its merits and continue to use it in prefer- ence to any later year crop. There will be more of them after the crop is out of the market. The 1906 crop has been the "goat" long enough. Parties Agree to Await Later Action of the Supreme Court. New Milford, Conn., Nov. 17. A sppulation was filed in the Su- perior Court Wednesday, at Hartford, that the suit of Harvey Tucker, Albert E. Tucker and Ira Tucker, all of Sims- bury, doing business under the firm name at Harvey Tucker's Sons, against Kutinsky, Adler & Co., of New York, and Luther IVI. Case, of Winchester, would be withdrawn from the court if the Supreme Court decided against certain other tobacco growers. In 1905 tobacco growers in Massa^ chusetts towns and in towns of Litch- field and Hertford counties said to- bacco grown by them that year under a certain contract, and the to- bacco was delivered to Luther M. Case at his warehouse in Winchester. Be- fore the tobacco had been paid for Case went into bankruptcy, and many of the growers who delivered the to- bacco brought suit against Kutinsky, Adler & Co., and Case was made a de- fendant with them. The cases were tried in the Superior Court in Win- sted a few days ago. The plaintiffs claim that under the contracts Case was a member of the firm ofKutinsky, Adler & Co.. and that if he was not a member of that firm he acted as its agent in buying the tobacco, thus mak- ing the firm responsible. The stipula- tion filed in court is to the effect that if the Supreme Court finds that Case was neither a member of the firm nor its agent, in a way to bind his princi- pals, the suit pending in the Superior Court here will be withdrawn. SOLD TO MINOR ; PAID FINE. Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 13, 1909. George Grucus, the Greek merchant of Five Points, was before the Munici- pal Court this morning, charged with selling tobacco to minors from the in- dustrial school, the complaint alleging that the offense was committed Octo- ber 25. Grucus pleaded guilty to the charge and asked the mercy of the Court on the ground that he was ig- norant of the law and is not conver- sant with the English language. He was fined $40, having the privilege of serving 40 days in jail instead of pay- ing the fine. TOBACCO CHECKS REFUSED. Winchester, Ky., Nov. 18, 1909. Owing to the various suits filed against the Burley Tobacco Society, in some of which the banks have been made co-de- fendants, the Clark County National Bank, the Citizens' National Bank and the People's Bank have given notice that for the time being at least they will honor no more checks of the Burley To- bacco Society. These banks were depos- itaries of the funds of the society. Propounded by Prof. Stewart at Meeting of Hartford County Tobacco Growers. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 20, 1909. Professor John B. Stewart, of the Bu- reau of Plant Industry, addressed the members of the Hartford County To- bacco Growers' Protective Association, at their regular meeting, held in East Hartford recently. The following ques- tions propounded brought about an inter- esting discussion : First — The cause and the remedy of plants rotting in the seed beds. Second — The probable cause of cal- ico and a remedy if possible. Third — Why tobacco varies on differ- ent lots when the plants are taken from the same seed beds. Fourth— Why our broadleaf tobacco is not producing as many pounds per acre as formerly, for we are getting less pounds per acre from apparently as good growth as was years ago, and it weighs 400 to 500 pounds less. Fifth— What is the best form of fer- tilizers for broadleaf in your opinion and how and when should it be applied? Sixth — Can a new strain of broad- leaf be developed that will weigh more per acre and be a thin, desirable leaf and a better yielder to the cigar manu- facturer, with a finer vein? Seventh—Is it profitable to pick broad- leaf and will it, if so, more than pay the additional expense, and if picked the methods to use to prepare it for mar ket? Eighth — Your ideas as to how to over- come a check to the plant in an extended drought, whether it is practical to at- tempt irrigation or whether vetch will help out in such times. Ninth — What is the best method to overcome pole sweat and an effectual method ? Tenth — Your general observation of broadleaf and suggestions as to the fu- ture demands for it and how it ranks for cigar purposes in comparison with other tobacco, and whether the Philip- pine tobacco can be improved from what it is now. CIGAR CONTRACT CANCELLED. Business Transacted in Defiance of Law and Order Society. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 22. 1909. Notwithstanding the announcement by the Law and Order Society that mer- chants who did business yesterday would do so at their own risk, it being the in- tention to enforce the Sunday Observ- ance law, nearly all of the stores which had been doing business on Sundays were open as usual, and the conditions in that behalf were about the same as on former Sundays. Nearly all of the cigar stores were open, while the restaurants did business, street cars, boats and rail- road trains were operated, and cabs and milk wagons w-ere in service on the streets. Most of the candy stores were closed, however, although some of them were open. It appeared to be the feeling among the cigar store men that they should not be compelled to close their stores unless all other business was suspen4ed', in view of the fact that most of the dealers keep their stores open on Sun- day more for the purpose of providing a meeting place for their regular custom- ers than for doing business. Some ad- mitted that they expected to be prose- cuted, but some said if they were they would bring retaliatory proceedings against persons in other lines of busi- ness not affected by the crusade. The Law and Order Society had de- tectives going about the city obtaining evidence against the merchants who were selling yesterday, with a view to taking such action as the society deemed proper. UNION TREASURER DISAPPEARS. State of Ohio Closes Penitentiary Cigar Making Plant. Columbus, O., Nov. 19, 1909. The cigar contract of the penitentiary is no more. The company moved out on Tuesday and 140 prisoners who were engaged in the shops of the George B. Sprague Co. were left on the hands of the State. The contracts now remaining in the prison took a majority of the prisoners who were formerly employed in the cigar shop, while others were put to work on brick piles and helping on the foundation for the new power plant. Several of the more decrepit and feeble prisoners were put in the idle house, swelling the already large population in that building. Only four men remain at the cigar shop to guard the property un- til it is all moved out and then work will be commenced immediately toward remodeling the building for ,the purpose of installing an underwear manufactur- ing plant. The Sprague cigar contract operated in the penitentiary for over 30 year& Tobacco Workers' Official Goes, Leaving Wife and Child. Cash also Gone. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 18, 1909. Members of the Tobacco Workers' Union are investigating the disappear- ance of its secretary-treasurer, Frank P. Knight, assistant shipping c'.erk for the Scotten-Dillon Company, who hns been missing since Thursday of last week. Knight, who is a married man, 43 years old, lived with his wife and ic- year-old boy at 120 Christiancy street, and had been in the employ of the to- bacco firm for the last 27 years. Last Thursday he remained home from work and informed his wife that he was going down town to attend to some bus- iness. Since that time she has neither heard from nor seen anything of him. "If Frank did anything wrong, I wish he had told me, for I would have sold the furniture to help him," de- clared Mrs. Knight Tuesday. She is al- most distracted over his disappearance, and says she can ascribe no cause for his action, as their home had always been a happy one. "Frank was Past Noble Grand Ruler of Riverside Lodge of Odd Fellows, and belonged to the Tobacco Workers' Union. The latter organization is doing what it can to assist me in finding him.' E. A.

BATROFF 224 Arch St., Philadelphia Broker in LEAF T0BAee0 THE TOBACCO WORLD DEATH OF ISAAC KAFFENBURGH Isaac Kaffenburgh. one of the most •widely-known leaf tobacco men of Bos- ton and head of the house of I. Kaf- fenburgh & Sons, Importers of Ha- vana Tobacco, died at his home in Brookline. Mass., last Tuesday, follow- ing an operation. Mr. Kafifenburgh was 67 years of age, and for the past 35 years had been engaged in the tobacco business. He is survived by three sons and one daughter. Although born at Albany, N. Y., he removed to Boston in his early years and has always conducted his tobacco business from that point. At first he became interested in Connecticut to- baccos, and in which he won a notable reputation, and the house is still among the pioneer handlers of that type of leaf. His two eldest sons, Carl and Al- bert, have been associated with their father in business for a number of years past, and shortly after their ad- mission to the firm the house extended its operations, and now has several warehouses in Cuba. Svmie years ago the younger son, Walter, was also ad- mitted to the firm. The business will be continued by the three sons, who compose the sur- viving membership of the firm, and one of the provisions made by Mr. Kafifenburgh the elder, who left an estate of more than a half-million dol- lars, is that none of the money now used by the firm shall be withdrawn for a period of five years. QUIET MOVEMENT IN LANCASTER Old Leaf Getting Scarce, and the New is Selling Slowly; Prices Kept Secret. Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 22. There is a quiet movement in the tobacco market, by which considerable quantities of leaf are being gathered in, and the prices paid are also being carefully guarded from publicity. The local papers have been proclaiming that the market was practically bare of interest, but those who are really in a position to know declare that there has been a much greater movement of leaf than has appeared on the surface, and in the pages of local publications. As a matter of fact, the market is pretty well bared of 1908 goods, and only a few isolated instances of 1907 are extant. The larger manufacturers seem to have been operating in a quiet sort of a way, and the result is that there is less tobacco in this market than is generally supposed. This will eventually be more fully discovered, but probably not until some needy per- sons come to investigate and find it too late to secure what they require at anywhere near the prices that have lately been prevailing. The cigar industry, upon the whole, is very satisfactory. There are, in- deed, very few instances in which manufacturers are not well filled with orders at the present time, and some have had to resort to night work in order to get goods out fast enough to meet the demand. We also know of in- stances in which manufacturers are anxious to increase their force of ci- garmakers, but all now have employ- ment, making it difficult for those who need more help to secure it at present. A packing of .'iOS cases 1908 leaf was recently sold by Peter Dommel to E. Rosenwald & Bro., of New York. These purchasers also bought a pack- ing of 1100 cases from A. B. Groflf, of New Holland. A. L. Schi-eincr & Bro., of East Petersburg, have sold a packing of 600 cases of 1908 to Otto Eisenlohr & Bros., of Philadelphia. E. L. Nissly, a tobacco packer of Florin, through his attorney, C. Eu- gene Montgomery, has brought suit against the Elizabethtown and Florin Street Railway Co., for $5000 dam- ages, for a strip of land 15 feet wide and 600 feet long on Wood street, in the town of Florin, which the com- pany have excavated and planted poles on, thus injuring its value. The prop- erty belongs to Mr. Nissly. A suit has been instituted against the executors of the estate of the late J. Gust Zook, by John DeHaven, to recover $5000, an alleged promise as a legacy made by Zook in 1906 if the plaintiff continued in his service as superintendent. In the codicil to the will Mr. Zook left the plaintiff $1250, which he refused to accept. In a prior codicil $5000 had been left to Mr. DeHaven. Garden Co. Newsy Notes of the Trade — It is now said that the growing of Sumatra wrapper leaf under shade, Anderson county, Texas, has proven unprofitable on account of the neces- sary expense of skilled labor, and will be abandoned. However, the grower will set a large acreage with filler to- bacco, which is inexpensive to culti- vate and .meets ready sale at 15 cents a pound. — The leaf tobacco crop of the United States in 1909 is now placed at 895,185.000 pounds. The highest pre- vious record was in 1899, when it amounted to 868,112,865 pounds. The cash value of the 1909 craop is placed at $98,450,000, while that of 1908 $78,- 980,000. — Mexico's best tobacco lands are in the State of Vera Cruz. The so-called tobacco belt extends from Tuxpan River, in the northern part of the State, to and beyond its southeastern boundary line and up to the Republic of Guatemala. This belt is about 500 miles in length. — Stemming tobacco for the Ameri- can Cigar Company, heretofore done in Kentucky, it is now said, will be done in the Dayton, O., shops of the company, and will give employment to nearly 100 women and girls. — The Hilson Company, Jersey City, N. J., to deal in tobacco, cigars, ci- garettes, etc., has been incorporated with $400,000 capital. The incorpora- tors are Edward Hilson, L. J. Relyea and F. E. Griswold. — The Wayne Tobacco Company, Ft. Wayne, Ind., has filed articles of incorporation as tobacco dealers, with a capital of $10,000. The directors are Albert Buuck, Fred Buuck and Frank A.

New Company Will Manufacture Brands Originated by DIbert Bros. Reading, Pa., Nov. 22. The principal brands of cigars made for many years by the well-known ci- gar manufacturing firm of Dibert Bros, have now been taken over by the Industrial Cigar Co., which is man- aged by Harry Dibert, a brother of the senior member of the firm of Dibert Bros., which firm is retiring from ac- tive business. Jerome C. Lengel, a member of the cigar manufacturing firm of Lengel & Ernst, was recently married to Miss Carrie A. Dalzell, of Pottstown. Mr. Lengel has been engaged in the cigar business for a number of years, and is very popular in the trade here. J. G. Neithamer, proprietor of the N. & N. Cigar Co., has sold his pool room and cigar stand at 17 North Eighth street, to Walter Cole, and will now devote his entire time to the cigar business. At a recent meeting of the Cigar Makers' Union it was decided to ten- der a reception and banquet to A. P. Bower, delegate to the American Fed- eration of Labor Convention, in ses- sion at Toronto, Canada, upon his ar- rival home, and the affair was car ried out on scheduled time at the Labor Lyceum at Rccd and Walnut streets. The Porto Bana Cigar Company, at present located at 213 North Tenth street, will next week occupy larger and more commodious quarters in the building at 750 Pcnn street, taking part of the first and second floors and the entire third. The newly-organized firm, of which Paris H. Hildebrand, a well-known local manufacturer, long in business for himself, is president and man- ager, may treble its present output within a few months, as many new lines have been taken up in addition to the purchase of the business of James W. Sheradin & Co. Among the firm's leading brands are Otis Skinner, Paul Dudley, Nu- merica in nickel lines, with Principe De Paz, El Puna, Colonial Orator and Sheik in better lines. The last named brand is a new combination arranged by Mr. Hildebrand. In the firm's new location, 12,000 more feet of floor space will be available. The firm is very busy. The -American Cigar Company is in- creasing its force of women and girl employes at the Dayton establishment, and where they will hereafter do a considerable of the stemming which had .heretofore been done in Ken- tucky. Angelo Esposito, a Stamford, Conn., cigar manufacturer, was recently taken before a United States Commissioner at New Haven on a charge of selling unstamped cigars, and was held under $500 bond. John Eisenberg & Sons recently opened a cigar store at 14 South Main street, Dayton, O. This firm is one of the best known in that city and has been in business for many years.

(H!r correspondents write West Hiittitld. Mass. — There liave been i:o sales of the new crop lately. The damp sj-ell of last we. k gave the farmers a chance to take down much of their crop.

N(»rth Hatfield, Mass. — I report the sales of one crop l)y (ieorge Donaldson, four acres, to L. W. Swift at a good price.— Amer. Cultivator. in the next few weeks. The prices are also considered good and the year just closing' has been one of the most prosperous for the tol>ac<'0 growers i.i many years. Windsor Locks, Conn. — A genuine tobac- co damj) Wednesday was taken advantage of by the growers, who engaged all the extra help available and took down from the poles in the sheds a big quantity of the irop. After it is stripped from' the stalks it will provide material for the sorting warehouses, and these will now be getting ready to open for the winter's work. Buyers have been thick in the re- gion this week, looking over the crops and bargaining feing done by the American Tobacco (^ompany, who have their buyers posted in nearly every grow- ing section of the State and taking over what crops they can induce growers to part with at prices generally under the seven-cent limit. So far it has l»een rather uphill work to break down former prices to these figures, but in the aggregate a small army of buyers in the field have been able to secure a good many hundred acres. Just a fair business is being done in the cured leaf markets. The bulk of the large transactions In Wisconsin leaf of late have occurred in the eastern markets and the '08 especially Is bringing quite satisfactory prices. There is a strong In- quiry in the local markets for the cheaper grades of all years where price Is the de- termining feature, but even this class of goods Is pretty well disposed of. A lot of 287 cases of '00 from the Madden Bros. packing has been sold during the week, A buyer from the Crystal Leaf Tobacco Com- pany, of Pittsburg, has also picked up about 200 cases In local markets. A num- ber of smaller transactions are al^ re- ported aside from the usuel trade In jQianu- facturers' orders. The shipments out of storage reach 662 cases from this market to nil points for the week. — Reporter. NEW YORK STATE. Elmira. — The tobacco market locally Is showing signs of activity. This week .rpi,»^ „f \-.i'ious tobacco Interests are In the Big Flats district buying the 190?) acreage of leaf tobacco. The t-rop this year Is generally of good quality. Three or four agents of the American Tobacco Company were iu this section. J. S. Billiugton, of Corning, representing (J. Falk Bros., of New JTork city, is also buying considerable tybncco, as are all the Elmira firms. The price paid for Pig Flats leaf to- bacco tills year Is from six to seven cents a pound, ac'cording to quality. This is about the price the growers received last year. KJENTUCKY. Guthrie, Nov. 18.— The IManters' Protec- tive Association this week sold about 450,- 000 pounds of tobacco to Morrow Bros., of Adatrvllle, nt prices ranging from ft to 14 cents. Tlie crojis disjiosed of were <'hlef- ly from Logan county, to be packed in light hogsheads and used by the strip- ping trade. The sales will be continued to-morrow until the types exhibited are exhaustetl. Paducah, Nov. 18.— Since the rain of last week the farmers have commenced to bring In their tobacco. The local dealers expect this to be the biggest season that Paducah has had In several years. Bohmer Bros., who opened a loose leaf house here last year, will begin their sales next M»)nday morning at H> o'clock. They will be con- ducted every day at that hour. An aver- age cro)) has Iteen raised in McCracken county this year, but much tobacco will come from adjoining counties. For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes, go to Established 1880 Monroe D.

THE TOBACCO WORLD Vol. XXIX., No. 48 PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 1, 1909 One Dollar the Year OIL AND TOBACCO CASES ALIKE ATTACK CORPORATION TAX R. R. Reed Says Points Involved in the Suits are the Same. New York, Nov. 25. Robert R. Reed, lawyer, who has ad- vocated a law excluding from interstate commerce all corporations which con- stitute or belong to a combination in unreasonable restraint of trade, called attention on Tuesday to the fact that the Standard Oil decision simply fol- lowed the decision in the Tobacco Trust case a year ago. "It will not be necessary for the country to wait until the Standard Oil case reaches the Supreme Court be- fore the law is settled," he said. "If the Tobacco Trust case, which involves the very same question and has been held more than a year on appeal, can be argued within another month, as expected, the Supreme Court will be able to decide the question early in the winter. There is little or no doubt that these decisions will stand, "The contest will now be between those who wish to legalize and perpet- uate the monopolies under Federal regulation and those who demand a restoration of natural laws, of com- petition and freedom in trade. I feel sure that strong support will develop in Congress and in the country for the enforcement of the Sherman law against all existing 'Trusts,' and for a new law that will deal specifically with them and exclude them from com- merce under heavy penalties, with pro- visions that will make the law effective and not subject for its enforcemct to the discretion of the Federal Govern- ment. "This can be accomplished by mak- ing all contracts unenforcable by a ■corporation violating its provisions, and by giving treble damages to per- sons damaged by sucn violation. Men ■will not act in defiance of such an act. They will obey it without trying to weaken, influence or corrupt the administration of justice." MUST SEEK NEW QUARTERS.

THE TOBACCO WORLD E. A.

Figuring on the Probable Cost of the 1910 Partido Crop. Special Correspondence o Business during the past week was iairly well distributed, as the Ameri- •can buyers, exporters to Europe and the local manufacturers each contrib- uted their share to swell the sales to a good figure. Vuelta Abajo, Semi Vuelta and Remedios are the only styles which are in demand, as the few transactions in Partido are more in the nature of a retail business than anything else, consisting mostly of wrappers. Even the cried-down 1907 Vuelta Abajo growth is meeting with more favor, as nearly 1000 bales were disposed of during the week to local manufacturers. This class of tobacco has become more mellowed by age, and mixing the same with the very flimsy part of this year's crop, makes an excellent blend. As a large part of the 1909 growth of Vuelta Abajo is still too little advanced to be fit for immediate working, the above com- bination of fillers has been quite a success. Remedios leaf at the pres- ent reasonable figures is bound to dis- appear before long, at least all de- sirable heavy styles, while the lighter first and second capaduras may remain here perhaps for a few months longer, although there is no doubt that they also will be wanted and sold before the end of the season. Usually the month of December is a somewhat quieter month in our mar- ket, but this year may form an excep- tion, perhaps, as we have been accus- tomed to surprises this fall with re- spect to the size of cyclones in the West Indian Archipelago. What the cost of the new Partido in 1910 is gO' ing to be at the enormous figure of $4 per 1000 seedlings may be of gen- eral interest to all manufacturers and dealers, and therefore the following figures given to your correspondent by a large planter are submitted: 1. Seedings at $4 per 1000 ought to produce 10 matules (or bundles), of which 60 are required to make an aver- age one bale of tobacco, or first cost, $24. 2. It requires one veguero to take care of 25,000 plants for at least four months, whose wages are calculated at ^30 per month, or $120, while at a maximum production the 25,000 plants may yield five bales of tobacco, there- fore the labor per bale is $24. 3. The escojida at a minimum is fig- ured at $10 per bale, $10. 4. Rent of the farm, $4. 5. Fertilizers, irrigation and extra help required during the growth, cut- ting and housing the tobacco in the drying sheds, etc., $6. This would make the cost per bale for wrappers, fillers and botes alike f The Tobacco World. Havana, November 21, 1909. $68, which is enormously high, unless the percentage of wrappers should be extremely favorable. In such a case the cost of the escojida might run, however, to $20 per bale, as in the above calculation nothing has been fig- ured for house rent, yaguas (palm bast), cords (majaguas), cartage of the bundles, fire insurance, railroad freight and many more incidental ex- penses. At the moment seedlings of a good, prime quality are exceedingly scarce and high as $5 per 1000 has been paid, although it stands to reason that the poor farmers cannot pay this figure and the richer planters are bound to lose money if they should acquire seed- lings at this price for their entire farms. Some farmers were raising their own seedlings, but, unfortunately, through the two cyclones, they were all lost, and it takes from six to eight weeks for the tobacco seed to sprout and grow sufficiently before the young plants can be taken from the ground and transplanted. As we had good light showers on the I9tb inst., it will have helped the seed beds wonderful- ly, and the prices next month are bound to come down to a reasonable figure of $1 or less per 1000. SALES last week amounted to a total of 13,- 485 bales — 7069 of Vuelta Abajo, 271 of Partido and 6145 of Remedios.

If it was only a question of price it would not be quite so bad, but in the absence of the raw material im- porters and retailers in the United States must call the attention of smok- ers to this fact. As the 1909 Vuelta Abajo is superior in taste, aroma and burn, the consumers of Havana ci- gars, whether imported or home made, must conform themselves to the exist- ing situation. Sol has plenty of orders from the United States, Canada, England and Germany, and Behrens & Co. are rush- ed with business for the holiday trade. Henry Clay and Bock & Co., Ltd., are making 325,000 cigars per day, and D,on Gustavo Bock has his hands full to attend to this increased de- mand. BUYING, SEL-LilNG AND OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST Sobs de A. Gonzalez had another banner week, as they sold 4863 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios, of ^hich 3000 bales went to Spain. The latter country is taking some fine fill- ers of Vuelta Abajo, as well as capa- duras of Remedios. Benito Rovira, who left on the 20th instant per S. S. "Havana," has pur- chased in all 1800 bales of Vuelta Aba- jo and Remedios. C. Medio disposed of 1203 bales of Vuelta Abajo during the last two ■weeks. M. Fleischman is still here, although he intended to leave last Saturday, but, while he finished the registry of the escojidas of S. Rossin & Sons, he is evidently interested in some outside lots, of which, it is said, he has al- ready secured 1500 bales. Planas & Co. were sellers of 1021 bales of Remedios and Partido to- bacco last week. C. S. Egerton purchased 1135 bales of all kinds of leaf. Rodiguez & Menendez still have a very fine selection of factory Vegas from the Vuelta Abajo, notwithstand- ing their sales of a round 1000 bales. William Yocum was a buyer of Vu- elta Abajo and Remedios aggregating over 1000 bales. Muniz Hnos. & Co. closed out 637 bales of Remedios and Vuelta Abajo during the past eight days. John Sutter returned on the 20th in- stant by the S. S. "Havana" for his New York home, after having made a fine selection of a number of vegas for Louis P. Sutter & Co. Herrera, Calmet & Co. sold 4S0 bales of Remedios to their customers last week. Walter I. Kaflfenburgh was suddenly called home by cable on the 14th in- stant, owing to the serious sickness of his father, Mr. I. Kaflfenburgh. Jose H. Cayro e Hijo disposed of 350 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Heinrich Ncubergcr has finished all his three escojidas in the Santa Clara province and exported 381 bales last week to Europe. Puente, Granda & Co. turned over 200 bales of all kinds of leaf to their customers. A. M. Calzada left last Tuesday per S. S. Mascotte for a business trip to the United States, via Tampa, to pay the long-deferred visit to his custom- ers. B. Diaz & Co. closed several transac- tions amounting to 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo. J.

Two recerverships pending in the Courts for two Kentucky tobacco growers' pools represent the present status of the organization which led the revolt of 1908 against the so-called Tobacco Trust. This revolt included night riding, the loss by arson of mil- lions of dollars at the hands of night riders; the killing of one independent grower; the use of the State militia to suppress night riding, and finally the organization of the $8,000,000 Bur- ley pool and lesser pools of last No- vember. In Winchester to-day the bonds of Rufus Lisle and Lee S. Baldwin, ap- pointed receivers for the 1906 and 1907 pools of the Burley Tobacco and In- surance Company, were fixed at $200,- 000 pending the appeal which the com- pany will take. In Elkton to-day Ben S. Street, a warehouse man of that city, applied for an attachment for the funds of and a receiver for the Dark Tobacco Growers' Protective Association of Kentucky and Tennessee, a smaller concern. Mismanagement of the affairs of the Dark Tobacco Growers' Protective Association and the squandering of its assets are charged by Street, who makes the projected regarding of the 1907 crop of the association a basis for his complaint. He wants the funds of the association attached, asserting that all its convertible property is in Tennesseee. The two actions are taken to indi- cate a revolt of the growers against the oflficers of the pools. The farm- ers of Kentucky, though united in spir- it against alleged tobacco monopolies, intimate in -their suits that monopolies exist among the organizers of their pools.

Rather encouraging reports, however, are be- ing received from distributing centres, and manufacturers are hopeful that a fairly steady trade can be maintained during the early spring. Our retail dealers are not boasting of a large vol- ume of business and yet they feel hope- ful that the holiday trade may yet prove more than ordinarily good, for it is stated that the general department stores have thus far experienced a good advanced business. While the dealers are not so specially occupied with bus- iness at this moment they are neverthe- less busily engaged in completing ar- rangements for a larger holiday trade, and are therefore much occupied. J. E. Tuck, who is among the more popular of the Philadelphia retailers, has been meeting with much success in introducing among the Philadelphia trade a new and highly attractive cou- pon systein by means of which local re- tailers are enabled to meet the com- petition of the chain stores, and with- out requiring a special outlay of much capital. It is Mr. Tuck's idea to spread the plan throughout the entire city and vicinity. * * « Carl L. Haussermann, of the leaf firm of L. G.

S. A."— This is the label which the bulk of so-called Turkish smokes should bear, declared S. W. Lee, a cigar salesman, in St. Paul, Minn., recently. "Most of the 'lurk- ish cigarettes on the market were never anywhere near Turkey," Mr. Lee add- ed, "and many of them have no Turk- ish tobacco in them. Some are not even made of Turkish tobacco grown in the United States, but are of a leaf grown in Virginia, Mexico or Califor- nia, and treated according t(j a Turk- ish recipe. "Turkish tobacco, or rather, tobacco grown from Turkish seed, thrives in Mexico and California, and in the lat- ter place many of the so-called Turk- ish cigarettes are made. One particu- larly large factory is located near Los Angeles. The duty on tobacco from the Old World is almost prohibitive, and not a great amount is shipped here. Certainly, the packages of ci- garettes offered for 10 and 15 cents arc n 1. from the land of the Sultan." The duty on English manufactured cigarettes is said to be about 20 cents a box. or two cents on each cigarette. — The farmers in the Westfield, Conn., district are convinced that some one with a mania for firing tobacco barns is at work in that vicinity. The burning of two barns within a week leads to this belief. The opinion is. advanced that some one wi.h a grudge against tobacco is causing the fires. The farmers whose barns have beenn burned are among the most popular in that neighborhood, and they cannot believe the fires v.erc started to do them personal injury, but rather as a means to prevent them from nutting on to the market a weed that is con- sidered by some as noxious.

There is much speculation as to whether the activity of the Govern- ment in regard to the sugar customs affairs will have any bearing on the appeal of the American Tobacco Com- pany, to be heard by the United States Supreme Court, December 13. Attor- ney General Wickersham intimated some weeks ago that he would prob- ably appear in person as the repre- sentative of the Federal authorities. That between now and the date set for the hearing the Attorney General will have his time fully occupied with matters of vital importance appears evident. It is not improbable that he will have to delegate some one else in the department to look after the country's interests in the Tobacco suit. Further points that the American Tobacco Company will advance for the benefits of its defence are gleaned from the brief now on file in the Supreme Court. After describing the nature ot the business and its purposes the at- torney for the appellants state that the American Tobacco Company never owned a majority of the stock of the Continental Tobacco Company. But in igoi. it is stated, there was evident a need for larger working capital for these companies unless they were to stand still or suflfer a retrogression. Appellants deny that the avenues of dis- tribution have been closed by the American Tobacco. In evidence of this it is asserted: "Not only have the established to- bacco manufacturers that have been well conducted been successful, but new tobacco manufacturers, like Scot- tcn-Dillon Tobacco Company and the United States Tobacco Company, in plug and pipe tobacco; Ware-Kramer Company, in domestic cigars; Butler- Butler, Inc., and host of others in Turkish cigarettes have started in the very height of the success of the Amer- ican Tobacco Company, and have es- tablished business of large, and some- times immense volume and profit. "It is a fact, too, as shown by the reports of the Commissioner of Inter- nal Revenue that there were in 1890, the year of the formation of the Amer- ican Tobacco Company, 1021 tobacco factories in the United States, and in 1906, 3065 tobacco factories, and that the cigar and cigarette factories have increased in the same period from 23.119 in 1890, to 26,348 in 1906." TOBACCO WAREHOUSES Burley Company Plans to Erect Many ia Kentucky. Lexington, Ky., Nov. 27. The Executive Board of the Burley Tobacco and Insurance Company, at a meeting here this week, took action for extensive warehouse investment in the Burley district. A contract for an air- drying plant at Mt. Sterling was let to Hendricks, Moore and Young, of Lex- ington. The building will be 80 by 128 feet, double floor, with shed 64 by 120. The plant will occupy five acres on the C. and O. A Frankfort coinmittee, headed by Wellington Lee, visited all the steam drying plants in Lexington. Architect E. J. Manley will superintend the erec- tion of the steam drying plant at Frankfort, work to begin at once. J. H. Pollard was here from Shelby- ville with plans for mammoth ware- house to be erected in connection with the re-dryer there. He proposes a .storehouse with a capacity of 4000 hogsheads, the largest in the State. In addition to the re-dryer, with floor space for 200,000 pounds of tobacco al- so is contemplated. Contracts for these improvements will be let soon. A large steam drying plant in Lex- ington, the largest in the State, is al- so probable. ^^M THE TOBACCO WORLD PACKING HOUSES Florin, Pa. on Main Line of Penna. R.

The trade was very much surprised Saturday morning on reading the big advertisements in ail our daily papers of the Jaynes Piker Company an- nouncing that they have decided to sell all the popular brands of ten-cent ci- gars at seven cents, or four for a quarter; all tifteen-ccnt packages of cigarettes at eleven cents, and all ten- cent packages at nine cents each, with all ten-cent packages of smoking to- baccos at nine cents, or three for a (juarter. Big posters of the advertise- ment have been posted on all the Jaynes' stores here. The Markell Drug Company and Epstein Drug Company immediately placed bulletins on their show windows announcing that they would also sell at the same prices. Oir retailers were happy several '.;i; nths ago when certain cigarette :u tn s arranged matters so retailers V (Ui'd be able to get a reasonable fig- t-re for their goods, and it was thought tint price cutting in cigars, cigarettes, etc.. was at an end, and now that the popular local brands of ten-cent cigars are being sold at four for a quarter, it has caused quite a depression in the trade. Many retailers are compelled to pay $6. ?8 per hundred for Quineys, Waitt & Bond, C. C. A.. M. C. A., Bostonia and Poet, and it will take a microscope to figure out the profit on lliese brands. As the 7-20-4 cigar sells at $6 per hundred, there is a little in handling that brand. This price-cutting game will be watched with interest, and our jobbing trade wi'l have much difticulty in get- ting the regular prices for these brands in the future. The Jaynes Piker _ompany opened another branch cut-price drug store Saturday, in Lawrence, and will shortly ojuMi another one in Lowell. ^ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦-♦♦♦♦♦♦ ^ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ X ♦ ♦ H.

J. Mulligan, busy all last week putting in window displays in Cam- bridge featuring the world-famed Mel- achrino cigarettes. In the Rendezvous was an electrical display of the Yale and Harvard game, and other displays in Cambridge were of Ed. O'Hara's Chafiin's Pharmacy, Levitano Phar- macy, College Pharmacy and the Uni- versity Smoke Shijp. The latter dis- play was a panaroma of the world, showing all parts of the earth where the Melachrino cigarettes are on sale. .\. Richman & Company, cigar man- ufacturers, in Jamaica Plains, report a splendid increase in business for the past month. Fair Alta, ten-cent brand, is for sale at all our leading cafes and hostelries. This firm will shortly p!ace on this market a new five-center, Lord Devonshire, a banded invincible shape cigar, that ought to prove a big hit. the filler being a good blend with genuine Sumatra wrapper, and as the cigar will bear the union label, it ought to be a big advertisement for the con- cern. The lilanchard Tobacco Company is the n'lme of a new jobl.ing conceru at 121 Hanover street, with F. W. Blanch- ard as general manager. The concern will do only a wholesale business in cigars, pipes and tobaccos, and bids fair to making a good showing before long. M. Roitman, the Beach street to- bacci.-nist, was on the sick list last week. He is reported well again. Henry Weiss and Mr. Annis, of E. Ci. Perez & Company, manufacturers, were in town Tuesday with their high- grade line of Porto Rican cigars. Rosenthal Brothers have the Boston agency for their Don Julian and Lurido brands, and have done well with them so far, having them well distributed about town. J. .\. Perlstein, representing the Fed- eral Cigar Company, has returned from a trip down East, where he found busi- ness very good. Jack Warsow (Philip Morris Com- pany) left Saturday night for Worces- ter, to take in all the principal cities and towns in western Massachusetts. Louis Shapero (Nestcr Gianacles Company) goes to New Haven, Conn., where the Nestor cigarettes are the best sellers in high-grade cigarettes with the Yale students. Charles L. Polep, a prominent whole- saler and retailer in Salem, Mass., has sold out his business to Bieringer Brothers Company, wholesalers, here, who are fast becoming our foremost jobbing house. The Larus Brothers Company is placing on this market the Winchester cut plug, put up in a patented decor- ated i6-ounce tin box. It is proving to be a ready seller with those who have taken in trial orders.

Edgerton, Nov. 20.— There is but little change to note iu the conditions prevail- ing in the local markets of the State. The big storm early in the week has curtailed riding somewhat for a few days, but buy- ers of the American Cigar Company are posted in most of the growing districts and all of them ni-e making some pur- chases at figures within the limit, which is conceded to be seven cents. Other than the movement to take over the cheaper grades there is but little doing. Matters have again lapsed into rather quiet lines in the cured-leaf markets. Re- ports of some fair-sized transactions of Wisconsin goods reach us from the East- ern centres, but locally the trade is gen- erally in small lots. The sale of 185 cases of '07 low-grades lias come to notice. Out- of-town buyers have been conspicuous by their absence during the week. So far there has l»een but little of the new crop removed from the curing sheds, though growers now have their farm work so well along that some attention could be given to stripping. The shipments out of storage reach 1504 cases for the week from this market to all points. KENTUCKY. Hartford, Conn. — The tobacco warehouses of the Cimnectlcut Valley are being put in condition for the season's operations, llejuirts from various districts indicate that there is a shortage of tobacco laborers. During the recent damps the farmers were eml)arrassed l)y their Inability to procure enough workers to enable the rapid taking down of the leaf in the barns. Several hundred more laborers than were available would have been hired if they could have been procured. ! Some of the tobacco towns report that over half of the present crop has already been sold. During the past month many buyers have been in the field, and many sales nt prices that are reasonably re- munerative to the owners have taken place.

Recommendation for Changes In Law Depends on Court's Decision. Washington, Dec. 14. The postponement of the tobacco •case now pending before the Su- preme Court until January 3 has been the subject of much comment here to-day. This action was taken by the Supreme Court yesterday upon the voluntary instance of Chief Jus- tice Fuller. At the time the Chief Justice attributed his request to the crowded calendar and now the case will come up after the holiday recess -of two weeks. It is believed that this action of the <^ourt was perfectly satisfactory to Attorney General Wickersham and the other officers of the Administra- tion, as it will now gve the lawyers plenty of time to present their argu- ments before the Court. It is gen ■erally understood here that two days will be given over to the pleading of the case and undoubtedly the Court will question the lawyers freely. Another new phase of the matter that is now being speculated upon is that possibly there will be eight jus- tices to listen to the case. Justice Xurton, who was recently designated, will probably take his seat upon the reopening of the Court on January 3. Provided no opposition develops he will be confirmed before the holiday recess. It is believed that Justice Moody will still be unable to sit in Court by that time, thus necessitating one vacancy. If there are but eight justices there will be presented the ■contingency of a divided Court in the decision, in which case the decision may rest with the verdict of the low- er Court. According to reports that are now £:oing the rounds, however, the At- torney General will not be satisfied with either a divided Court or a mix- ed decision. It is desired by the Ad- ministration to present certain phases ■of the trust law to the Court that have not before been passed upon by the bench, which can be used for guidance in recommending changes in the Sherman law. The Depart- ment of Justice is showing great in- terest in the tobacco cases and like- wise the Standard Oil case, as upon the decision in these will be based recommendations in the future spe- cial messages of the President to Congress. The brief in the American Tobacco cases for the Government is about complete now and may be filed with the Court very soon. William W. Jones, of Troy, N. Y., a tobaccoist, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States Dis- trict Court, placing the liabilities at $4632.90, and assets at $1389.89. Assets Scheduled at $1,399,737; Lia- bilities $137,334; Law Suit as Asset. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 16, '09. The Ware-Kramer Company's schedule of liabilities and assets in the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings instituted some time ago against that concern by Brooklyn creditors has been tiled in the United States Court here. The schedule shows total lia- bilities to be $137,334 with assets placed at $1,399,737, this included the $1,000,000 suit in which the Ware- Kramer Company claims punitive damages from the American Tobacco Company and the Wells-Whitehead Tobacco Company for alleged acts in- jurious to the business of the plaintiff in violation of the anti-trust laws. Of the $137,334 in liabilities, $52,434 are in secured claims and $84,899 in unse- cured claims. AMERICAN'S WILMINGTON PLANL The Former Arlington Mill Turned into Mammoth Factory. Wilmington, Del., Dec. 17, '09. Announcement has been made that the American Tobacco Company has decided to lease the entire building, formerly the Arlington Mills, on Vandever avenue, instead of a por- tion as was at first intended. It is said that after all altreations have been made the plant will employ about fiOOO persons. The question that confronts the company now is as to whether there are really 200o men, women and girls in the city, who have not employment now. The company must have em- ployes, and for that reason employ- ment offices have been opened at the plant on Vandever avenue, while the saw and hammer and sledge is pre- paring the building for use. Mr. Williams, who has been ap- pointed the manager of the plant, and who comes here several times a week to look after alterations to the build- ing, said this week that the plant would be ready for operation within four weeks, owing to the fact that the lease was already effective and the company did not care to leave the plant unoperated longer than was necessary. HARTFORD NOW PREPARING For Meeting of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association in May. Hartford, Conn., Dec. 17, '09. A dinner was recently given at the Allyn House by the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Association, when B. L. Haas spoke of the plans being pre- pared for the annual meeting of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Associa- tion, to be held here on May 9th and 10th next. Joseph C. Mitchelson, of Tariffville, has been elected to fill the vacancy as vice president, caused by the death of W. F. Fuller. Holihan & Gannon Cigar Stores Netted Profit of $600 in Six Weeks. Syracuse, N. Y., Dec. 17, '09. At the opening of United States Circuit and District Courts at Utica, Tuesday, several matters from this county were before Judge George W. Ray. The accounts of Homer Os- trander, as temporary receiver of the firm of Holihan & Gannon, were affirmed on motion of Attorney Frank B. Hodges. They showed that during the six weeks Mr. Ostrander conducted the business a profit of $600 was made, and that as receiver he turned over to himself as trustee in bankruptcy over $40 more than he had received at the outset, after the payment of certain fees and expenses The motions in the proceedings against the estate of Thomas Merriam were adjourned to December 31. The action was brought for an accounting and to set aside a transfer of coal and lumber lands in the South, and a judgment for 86,000 taken. The case went to the United States Supreme Court, where the judgment was order- ed to be reduced to 40,000. Proceed- ings were then brought in Tennessee, where it was ordered that the judg- ment must be paid within 30 days or be restored to the full amount. One motion involves an injunction restraining collection of the judgment and another is to have the judgment reduced in the lower Court. Attor- neys C. P. Ryan and L. L. Waters appeared. BROCKTON DEALERS TO ORGANIZE Brockton, Me., Dec. 17, '09. Retail cigar dealers of this city hope soon to organize an association for their mutual protection. Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock a committee, with L. G. Willett as chairman, met at John Mead's office on Centre street and drew up a circular letter which will be sent to all of the 150 retail dealers in this city. This letter in- vites the dealers to attend a meeting of retail cigar merchants to be held in Eagles' Hall, at 10 a'clock next Tuesday morning. The object of the meeting will be to organize a Retail Cigar Dealers' As- sociation for the mutual protection of the interests of the dealers and to put the business in this city on a better basis than it now is. Mr. Willett will preside at the meeting. He said this morning: "If the retail cigar dealers of this city would only realize it they could form an organization which would aid them substantially and pre- vent this selling of cigars at cost prices, which never has done any good. We want to see the cigar business in this city run as it should be." A new cigar factory has been opened at Clinton, Ind., by Harvard Steanes. Heads a New Corporation Entering the Tobacco Trade. Mr. Emil Berger against, whom some litigation had been pending, has affected a settlement and will once again enter the tobacco trade, at the head of a new concern, which it is claimed is amply capitalized, but the full working plans of the proposed operations are not given out, beyond the fact that the dealings will be in. the line of handling cuttings, scraps and siftings. There are many in the trade who at- test to the honorable business they have had with Mr. Berger, and the business will in all probability be con- ducted on a larger scale than he ever did before. Although he was rather fiercely at- tacked by some members of the trade and a part of the trade press which was unfriendly to him, he emerges with flying colors; he has good reasons for his hopes of re-incurring the good- will of his former patrons and cus- tomers. BRUDNO BUYS BUILDING And Will Shortly Add Another Cigar Factory to Cleveland's Industries. Cleveland, O., Dec. 17, '09. Through A. D. Hertz, 2621 East Sixty-first street, the old Cleveland General Hospital building, on Wood- land avenue, was sold by A. B. Thompson and H. N. Prescott to A. Brudno for a consideration of $45,000. It is to be remodeled into a cigar fac- tory. Brudno in turn traded to Thompson and Prescott for a consid- eration of $60,000 the Saratoga apart- ments at Woodland avenue and East Forty-ninth street and an eight-family apartment -on East Forty-eighth street. IN ITS NEW QUARTERS. Ashland Co. Now Installed in New Home in the Kolman Block. Ashland, Wis., Dec. 17, *09. The Ashland Cigar & Tobacco Company has recently been installed in its new quarters in the Kolman, Block, which was purchased some time ago and rechristened the "Op- tak," after one of the firm's leading brands of cigars. The premises were remodeled throughout in a manner that makes it most convenient for the firm's needs, and it occupies one of the most attractive portions of Ash- land. Under the careful guidance of J. I. Levy the business has shown an ex- ceptionally successful management, which has now been crowned with a new home of its own. — Harvard Stearnes is about to open a cigar factory in Clinton, Ind. E. A.

If we do not have rain soon the crop may be smaller in quantity than was vivendi with those countries which dis- criminate against the exports of our cigars to them, and as this seems to be the prirtcipal object, it is to be hoped that something practical may result. The Henry Clay and Bock & Co., calculated upon, and the quality also Ltd., was erroneously reported as not working quite . so strpng. and which was not true, as Don Gustavo Bock says that instead -of cutting down the number of cigarmakers he has increased the same on fine sizes, for Regalias and may not be desirable for use in the clear Havana cigar factories.

Although the building has only one story princi- pally, excepting some rooms for the clerks at the back of it, if necessity should require it, one or two stories could be added easily, as the founda- tions are solidly constructed. The pres- ent capacity will be from 25,000 to 30,- 000 bales. Wm. Presnail purchased 3,000 bales of leaf tobacco in all for the Tucker Cigar Manufacturing Co., of Hamilton, Ont. Muniz Hnos. & Co. were sellers of 900 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Reme- dios. Sylvester & Stern seem to wind up the old year in good style, as they are reported to have added 3,000 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Semi Vuelta and Reme- dios to their large holdings. Allie L.

The tobaccb crop grown in the Con- necticut Valley last season is being pre- pared for market, and warehouses, are now opening for the sorting and pack- ing of same, which will take the greater part of the winter to complete. In Suflfield. Conn., more than one thousand men will be required to handle the crop. High prices have been paid for tobacco grown around there and several good- sized fortunes have been realized from some of the crop. The cut-price war is still on here be- tween the druggists, J. A. Waitt & Bond, 7-20-4, and all the popular loc. brands of cigars are being sold for 6c. straight. Helmar and Trophies cigar- ettes, at 7J/2C. a pack; Moguls, Murads and Naturals at loc, and Rameses, at 15c. Among the main factors in this price- cutting war are the Jaynes Riker Co., Walker Pintals Co., Markell Drug Co., Epstein Drug Co., Woodward's Phar- macy, Sawyer & Co., and the Adams House Drug store. It is expected the IOC. cigars will soon be cut to 5c. each, and then the trouble will be adjusted and prices will go up again to the or- iginal figures. Rumors are still going around that ... G. Sullivan, of Manchester, N. H., has sold out his extensive cigar busi- ness to the American Tobacco Co., and likewise the H. Traiser Co., makers of the well-known Pippin cigars, but as both these brands still bear the blue label of the Cigarmakers' Union, it is very hard to verify the reports. Phil Barant, formerly city salesman for the Mentor Co., makers of the Ramly cigarettes, has joined the sell- ing crew of Bieringer Bros. Co., wholesale tobacconists here. M. J. Hamilburg, proprietor of the Cigar Box, on Essex street, has re^ turned from a brief trip to New York. Condax & Co., makers of cigarettes. New York, are placing their straw-tip cigarettes with much success through- out the city. Green Listers have purchased Sil- verstein's cut-price cigar store at 35 North street, in the market district. Bielow Sisters have bought the cigar and tobacco store located at 49 Portland street. H.

The "first" and "fifteenth" of each month V-A^-^ will be its dates of issuance. The change will not be in physical appearance alone. New life and new ideas, and hence new features, will be injected into every department of the publication and unceasing effort will be exerted to keep "The World" the peer of any tobacco journals published. The future editors and managers believe that the tobacco industry has need for and will appreciate and support a publication that will make prece- dents as well as follow the good ones of others' making; that will depart, when needful, from the beaten paths and blaze new trails for the spread of trade news and perfect new means for profitable publicity. To the old friends of "The Tobacco World," who have read and sup- ported it from its birth in 1881, the new editors extend the hand of feilow- ship, and ask for your continued co-operation. Mr. Jay Y, Krout, who is known and esteemed in every cigar factory and leaf tobacco warehouse of note in Pennsylvania, continues with "The World," and will devote much of his time to the interests of the Keystone State. He is also secretary-elect of the new corporation. While not neglecting the Pennsylvania field, the new "Tobacco World" will aim to extend its following and influence into the broader field of a national publication, so that every one in the trade, from iJaine to Cuba, from Pennsylvania to California, will regard it as a welcome organ of in- formation. To this task we shall address ourselves on the dawn of the new year, confident that there is a remunerative place awaiting us if we prove our worth. We extend our greetings to our competitors and assure them of our good-will and co-operation in bringing about better publicity and advertis- ing in the tobacco field. Our sanctum at all times will be open to the rep resentalives of our competitors, and all who may call are assured the most cordial reception.

Every cigar manufacturing establish- ment in this section of the country is now bending all its energies to getting out the biggest amount of goods pos- sible. Cigarmakers are being added to present forces wherever it is possible, the greater difficulty seems to be that in many instances not enough hands can be procured at present to meet the requirements. This is, indeed, a great contrast when compared with the conditions prevailing during a consid- erable portion of the year when cigar- makers could, in many instances, not find employment at any wages. De- cember, it is expected, will show up fairly well in this month's productions, as compared with last year, and it is hoped that it may show an actual gain. Leaf tobacco dealers also find busi- ness conditions mucn improved, not only because the cigar manufacturers are in actual need at present of in- creased quantities of new raw material, but also because they are in a better mood than they have been for some time, making good sales much easier. There is no unusual activity in the buying of the new crops, but it is ex- pected that after the stripping season there will be a spurt of active buy- ing. The Internal Revenue receipts for November showed stamp sales of $101,294.44, which is an increase of $1000 over the previous month, and $10,000 over the corresponding month of 1908. During the month of Nov- ember tnere were also granted twenty- five new licenses for new cigar factor- ies in this division of the Ninth district. They are as follows: Kaltreider & Frey, Red Lion, 40 hands; James O. Smith, Holtz, two hands; W. H. Grimm, Windsor bor- ough, one hand; Jacob Harman, two hands; Horace J. Sitler, East Pros- pect, two hands; K. H. Jacobs, York- ana, 40 hands; B. F. Sentz, Cross Roads, three hands; Alice M. Grimm, Red Lion, five hands; Lawrence Smith, Windsor borough, two hands; John W. Sechrist, Dallastown, five hands; Lillie V. Leber, Dallastown, five hands; C. Finchbaugh, York, R. F. D. No. 2, five hands; C. S. Gable, Wrightsville. 40 hands; Benjamin F. Poflf, Craley, three hands; H. C. Brenneman, Wind- sor borough, two hands; Alvin G. Grove, Felton, R. F. D., No. 2, five hands; Thomas Sutton. Red Lion, five hands; Henry M. Olewiler, Lower Windsor township, five hands; Walter C. Smith, Windsor borough, four hands; A. J. Keener, Dallastown, R. F. D., No. I, five hands; Florence M. Brillhart, Yoe, three hands; Benjamin Hengst, York, R. F. D., No. 9, five hands; William H. Schmuck, Red Lion, R. F. D. No. i, two hands; Charles E. Sprengle, Windsor, R. F. D., No. I, three hands; Paul Elfner, Brogueville, three hands. It is probably not generally known that W. F. Patterson, the well-known leaf man, of this city, has been ap- pointed to a county office, or position, and yet it is a fact. Not long ago he was appointed Court Detective of York county, but it will in no way in- terfere with his leaf tobacco business. H. F. Kohler, the popular Nash- ville cigar manufacturer, has been con- fined to his home by an attack of pneumonia, but has recovered to such a point that he is again able to be about his office. We join with his other friends in extending to him our heart- felt felicitations. FROM the CAPITAL of OLD BERKS Reading, Pa., Dec. 20th, 1909. Mr. J. G. Spatz, of the firm of J. G. Spatz & Company, of this city, has just returned from a flying trip to Baltimore, Washington, stopping at Philadelphia on his return. Mr. Spatz reported to a reporter of The Tobacco World that the trade conditions lately had become greatly improved. C. W. Potteiger disposed of the stock and fixtures of the cigar store at 519 Penn street, at auction recently. It is reported that extensive altera- tions and extensions are being contem- plated at the cigar factory building of Otto Eisenlohr & Bros., Seventh and Washington streets. They have pur- chased the adjoining properties at 34 and 36 North Seventh street, presum- ably for this purpose. W. W. Reigel, a leaf dealer, at Third and Greenwich streets, has pur- chased a lot of ground, 100 by 100 feet, which lies near his present prem- ises. Boyertown is to have a stock com- pany to erect a large cigar factory, and which, it is said, will afford employ- ment to 500 people. Haller & Whitecraft report the re- cipiency of many orders for Christmas trade. One of the firm has been cov- ering the coal field region. The Tobacco Warehouse of Charles Cusick & Son, at Weedsport, N; Y., has been opened for the season and already a goodly force of help- ers is being employed in assorting tobacco of the new crop, and the firm expects to handle a considerable quan- tity this year.

Concluded from p. 9 sale of the Astrom cigarette, which hjn! becc^me quite a favorite with many smokers. Samuel Banard, the Manover street cigarist. has his window display neat- ly arranged, featuring pipes, b(ith briar and meerschaum, and a nice line of cigars at prices by the box. Gans Bros.' William the Fourth and El Radio clear Havana cigars, and E. G. Perez & Co. Lurido Porto Rican, are very conspicuous in the display. At Erlich & Kopf's, on Court street, the usual holiday sales on fine briars, meerschaums and calabash pipes is going on. This concern is the only manufacturers in New England, and besides their two retail stores they do an extensive jobbing business which covers the entire United States. The American Tobacco Company is making a strenuous play to get the new cork-tip 5c. cigarette "Fez" on this market. Within the next week or two they will ship to jobbers here for distribution in the neighborhood of 3,000,000 of these cigarettes, and it is safe to state that the jobbers will soon place same and in a short time this brand ought to sell well. The holiday season has started in nicely, and our retailers have their window displays arranged for the oc- casion. The popular brands of Bos- ton cigars, in fertcith packing have made their yearly appearance. The boxes are the same as in previous years. Each jobber has received the factory allotment and this year the (juantity has been reduced. The Quin- cy factory, especially, is putting out very few, and there is quite a demand for them. The J. A. factory is the only concern here which charges ex- tra for holiday packages, and they do so every year. The Bostonia holiday package, as usual, is the most attractive one of the lot. Levenson Bros., makers ot the popular Boston Smoker, are ex- ceptionally busy. Since they placed tiiis brand on saale at all the stations of the Boston "L" Road the demand around the city for it has increased wonderfully, and the factory is work- ing to its capacity. The Autolight cigarettes, a novelty that lights by striking the end of the cigarette on the box, just like a match, are featured by many of our leading cigarists, and are selling well for a novelty. Since the Jaynes Riker Co. started selling the popular local loc. cigars at four for a quarter, many of the other cut-price cigar stores have followed suit, and the consumer is getting the benefit, while the small retailer is get- ting it where he always does — in the tieck. Many cigarette and tobacco sales- men working around this locality have been laid off until the first week in January. Baker Bros, have just taken on the Marcus Feder Cigar Co. line of Cleve- land stogies. "Old Sport" Zugsmith, representing the Union American Cigar Company, is in town after an absence of a year or so. He received a number of nice orders for January delivery. Louis Shapiro, representing the Nestor cigarettes, has returned from a very successful trip down Connecti- cut. A representative of the Isenberg Cigar Company, Wheeling, W. Va., makers of the Iseeco stogies, called on our jobbing trade this week in the in- terests of his line. The A. T. Co. has a crew of sales- men here selling their Turkey Red cigarettes, and window displays of same are being made all through the city proper. The cigarette picture craze is still on here. There is a noticeable increas- ing demand for the Piedmont cigar- ettes, since the company has placed THE TOBACCO W O R L D ^^» PACKING HOUSES on Main Line of Penna. R.

Tobacco Dealers Report a Fairly Good Business, and Cigar Manufacturers Tell of a Heavy Demand for Their Products. Detroit Bureau "The Tobacco World," 591 Campbell Avenue. Detroit, Mich., Dec. 18. A fairly good volume of business was done by Detroit leaf tobacco deal- ers during the last week. There is no l)articular feature in the market ex- cepting that th:' Christmas demand is heiinnin;:;. Factories are running full pnl heavy < n immediate orders, and ihc future iirospects are hardly as al- Inrin:^: as present l:usiness should war- rant. The different cigar manufacturers about the city report a heavy demand. Factories are all running full and the law euicted by ihc last State Legisla- ture i)rohibiting women from working more than 54 hours a week is causing some hardship. M'ny local factories depend principally < n fe:nale labor. ^ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦'♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦4-^*'f^^4 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ X X X ♦ ♦ I H. F. KOHUBR Nashville, Pa.

In view of the festive season local manufacturers are not putting out spe- cial brands. They are depending on the old favorites to bring trade, and that their stand was wise is shown by the orders being placed by the differ- ent wholesalers and retailers. The wholesale and retail demand is good. The different downtown stores report a good business. Although there is some demand for high-priced cigars in this market the bulk of the demand is for loc. and 15c. goods. Different local cigar men are dis- tributing calendars to the trade. All downtown cigar store windows are dressed in observance of the sea- son. A huge electric sign is being placed in front of the Cavis Cigar Company, ill Kalamazoo. E. C. Lange, of Ionia, has establish- ed a cigar factory and store in Lowell. Lange has conducted a similar busi- ness in Ionia for seven years. Samuel Frisbie, charged with com- plicity in the murder of Louis Rosen- berg, at St. Clair Flats, last summer, was discharged by a jury recently. The store occupied by the Grand Rapids Cigar Co.. at 97-103 Canal street. Grand Rapids, was recently sold. Fire recently destroyed part of the Bowles Building, in Detroit. A num- ber of cigar stores were located on the first floor of the structure. Saginaw merchants are protesting against the sale of cigars at the Audi- torium, the city's principal hall. A pe- t tion has been presented to the Com- mon Council rcfiuesting it to take ac- tion. What is believed to have been a clever swindling scheme was recently worked on State cigar dealers. An agent, presumably, called on the trade in the interests of a cigar lighter. He secured advertisements for the article .-nd then skipi)ed the different towns. The State law i)rohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors is being rigidly enforced in different parts of Michi- gan. Fred Heller, of Lansing, re- cently paid a fine of $5 for selling to- bacco to a 16-year-old boy, while Wil- liam J. Shannf)n, of Bay City, was ar- rested for allowing a minor to remain in his cigar store. Detroit police are not .so strict, as this city has yet to have her first case for such an offense. ^^•^^ —Frederick Reinhardt, who had been engaged in the cigar manufac- turing business in Utica, N. Y., for more than 45 years, died on the nth inst. He was in his 70th year.

He failed steadily to the end. Mr. Fuller was born in Suffield, June 14, 18:>2. son of William H. Fuller. He was educated in the public schools of Suffield and the Connecticut literary institution of that town, graduating from the latter in 1870. A short time after graduatinor he went into the coal business in Suffield. In 1885 he went to Hartford and associated himself with his uncle, Edward A. Fuller^ in the leaf tobacco business, packing and dealing, the house being the successor to the old-established firm of Arthur G. Pomcroy. The Connecticut Leaf Tobacco As- ciation has passed the following csolution of regret upon the death of V. F. Fuller: Whereas, It has pleased our Heav- nly Father to take unto Himself our rue fnend and associate, William rank Fuller, And, Whereas, our friend and as- ociatc had always endeared himself y Ins uniform kindness, true advice nd good will to all; Therefore, We the undersigned mourn our loss greatly, and extend our sympathy to the bereaved family that God may give them comfort in the dark hour. Resolved, That we attend the inter- ment in a body. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread on our records, and a copy be sent to his family. Leaf Tobacco Markets rONNECTKLT VALLEY. Not Mioni' i.s New lOiiKland Kuffering from Uils pinch diought. for it seems to af- fect the whole belt of clgnr-Kroulnjf see- tioiLs. From „11 <|narters come accounts of «lr.v, cool weather, with no rain or mois- ture to l.rinjf the tobacco into a casing .ondltfon. At first sight this would seem to hit the grow«'rs only, hut when we come to oonHider the situation we see men waiting for weather suitable to take the tobacco from the i)olc8. to be stripped into the bundle condition, so that it may be Inspected by the buying fraternity. Tntil It does come I have about made up my mind that very little buying will be Indulged in. for the story was ripe early in th ;• fall that the crop must have been injured by weather while the crop was standing in the field. Whether this be true or not. the growers are as eager to de- termine as the dealers, for then the farm- ers would soon make up their minds as to prices to set upon the crop, and the dealers would have a chance to use the money that perhaps is set to his credit at some bank and not be compelled to lose Interest on this uninvested cash, so to suit both parties I hope that a good damp will come nud both parties will profit by it. I see quite a few In Connecticut are sell- ing their tobacco, especially those wh» picked or primed their tobacco. Those who did so have sold and many have de- livered their crops, receiving for them around 30c. Some of the others have sold for from 21a2.3c. Perhaps those who picked and sold for less than 30c. are making more money than the ones who sold for 23c. But perhaps also tho.se who did pick their crops may have been some of thfe best growers or favorites with the trade; these points must be studied from the bottom up. Down at Suffield they say the fads ,:re on for all that they are worth; tiist it is Havana seed for awhile, and then the fad changed for broad leaf, and just how long the broad leaf fad will last no one can tell. If those smokers could get hold of some very nice Havana the trend might again revert to the growing of Ha- vana seeHaVANA, 123 North Third street ^ PHILADELPHIA ....IMPORTERS Of THE TOBACCO WORLD No Salesmen Commanicate with Factory A.
