Lutling or priming is the term by which is umlerstocnl the process of gathering the leaves for curing. This is one of the most imi)ortanl steps in the culti- vation of tobacco. It must \)c done on a dry day, so that the leaf will Ik* clean, uiisixitted, and free from fungus. According to the habit of the country or district the leaves are now placeoard or wire, and allowed to wilt. Then it is cured. Curing is, of course, the step which changes the product from a mere agricultural to a purely commercial c«jinin«>w. due to action of enzymes rather than to Uicteria (as we once th».ught). being «>ne of riiKMiing. as it were, thrtnigh heat ami moisture.

The factory which caimot work with full forces is in a precarious condition as the running charges are almost the same, whether it is work- ing with full steam or only half the |H>wer. The craze for light-colored cigars luis been another Kii the drawbicks, as the 1909 crop only prtKluceil an exceedingly small number of light leaf wrapjHr kdes and which commanded extraordinary high prices. lmjM>rters and retailers of cigars in the United Stales ought to be aware of this fact aiul therefore educate the smok- ers not to insist u|x)n such colors, as in reality the Colorado shades are sweeter in taste and have a higher aroma. The rais- ing of the taritls in Eur«»i>e has curtailed the consumption of Havana cigars, so that iu»w only very rich people can afford the luxury of a legitimate Havana cigar. Cuba as a ward of the United States has some claim for a more liberal treatment and it is in the interest t)f both nations to see each other pros- |)erous. The Henry Clay & P»ock & Co.

To the cast of the city a short distance lies Lake ( )urniia, a !)eautiful sheet of water seventy-five miles long by thirty miles wide, and the presence of this lake in a land where water is more precious than diamonds, is responsible for the fertility of the soil and the consetjuent gtxxl (|uality of the tobacco raised. There are four varieties of tobacco raised m Persia. That grown in the mountainous regions adjacent to Ourmia is de- cidedly the best (juality and the soil in which it is planted is re- markable as being ani<»ng the small |>lots of grouiul in the whole country which do not need irrigati(»n. The plant itself bears a very small leaf and the tobacco is usually n)ild and rich in aroma, resembling in many resfRvts the Turkish l«»bacco. which is known in the Tnited States as "/igna (;bag." This to- bacco is almost exclusively use«l in the manufacture of cigar- ettes aner cent, of the crop. ■ I rnue' is utilized for the manufacture of cigarettes and is largley smoked in pipes also. In the cultivating of "Uniiie" it is necessary to carc- ftdly irrigate the t(»bacco lands once every other day Irom the time of planting until the tobacco ri|>ens.

The chain consists of eight beautifullv appointed shops, principallv in hotels and ..t desir able comers in Philadelphia: one in Wa^^hington and another in Xew York The pn^prietor of these shops does nothing but'the barber business, his reason being that he does not care to antagonize the strictly retail cigar store, manv proprietors of which patronize him exclusivelv. and. sccondlv. r>ecause be thinks that a high-class barber shop is no place for a low- grade cigar stand.

Some retail stores are w(.nt to i.ffer s|>ecial cigars on l*>i- days and Saturdays for five cents, which they say arc soM du'rinj; the week at ten cents. While this may be a clever scheme, it hardly strnis plausible that if a ci^ar is worth ten cents on Monday, that it can be s(.ld for five on Satunlay. It is not iHissible that the man wlu» buys on Monday has been cheated and the man who buys on Satunlay is sold under false pretenses? Ihere is no way to force an end to this practice, but it JKTurs to the writer that no e k«kk1 business to have bargain days in cigars, as it is in uy six regular five-cent cigars for a «|uarter and this is a legitimate (.ffer based on the volume of business, it is admitteer ;uid go away satisfied. The fact is that the «lark colnr may in- dicate merely that the tol)acco is well cured. The absunlity of judging a strong cigar by the w rapper or judging the rpiality by snifTing at the w ra|)per, becomes at once apparent when a pri»portionate amount of tobacc«» within the wrapper is considered. Of course the <|uality <»f the wrapper iiwlicates to some degree the <|uality of the cigar, but. after all, a cigar must be judgee told to the manager or the "boss" and let them regulate such matters. The clerk can be of great assistence in the various «lepart- ments of a well regulated retail store, and a retail store would not Ik- a well regulated establishment without several \x)[>- ular and he urged purchases with great celerity.

American Manufacturers Appeal to Government to Stop Philippine Abuses. Washington, Feb. uih. D1 liSriri*' the pr«jtc>t> of tlic Cigar Maiuifacturcrs' A>- sociatitm of Aincrica, backed by niinieruus intluenlial Congressmen, it is unlikely that the Bureau of ln>ular Affairs will stop the usage of the "standanl of qual- ity" stamp which the Philippine Government is placing on all cigars exported to the United States. A delegation of the Cigar Manufacturers' .\^sociation, escorted by Congressman J. \ an \ ecliten Olcolt. called on Secretary of W ar Dickinson on February 7th to make formal protest against the Philippine stamp. The association was rep- resented by Jac. W'ertheim, of the I'nited Cigar Mainifacturers' Company, New York, President; A. M. Jenkinson, of i*itt>- burgh, \ ice- President ; II. G. Wasson, of i*iltsburgh, Secre- tary, and Attorney Smith, the Washington counsel of the association, as well as I. S. J'lllison, of the U. S. Tobacco Journal. Si)eaking for the manufacturers, Mr. W ertheim averred that the continued use and abuse of this stamp, wliich states specitically over the name of the Government that the (|uality of the goods is guaranteed as being up to the standard and nunle under i)erfectly cleanly conditions, was working injury to the American man- ufacturers because some unprincipled merchants have been using this stamp as a cloak to foist a cheap grade of goods on the public and crowd out home-made, legiti- mate goods. T h e objections which the manufac- turers raised could be summarized as fol- lows: First, that the appearance of the stamp was mislead- ing ; secondly, that the wording of the stamp was misleading, and, thirdly, that it stated what was untnie. A general protest was also made against the right of the Philip- pine Government to invent such a stamp to the detriment o f American manufac- turers, who, in their own State, were de- nied the use of a sim- ilar endorsement. It was pointed out that the appearance of the Philippine Coat of Arms with an eagle at Continued on Sext Page Tobacco Trust Sued for $20,000,000.

Ihe com- l)laui;int is Juhn I', liair t»f New York, who is rep- loenied by Attorney Geo. S.

The .\merican Conij)any is charged with placuig marks on tobacco cans aiul tins to the etYect that they were "1 licensed uno9, when the .American C'i>mpany placed tliC mark in (juestion upon tobacco tins and cans. As a result of this, the plaintilY said he was injureil and claims to be enti- tle«l to i>30,ooc).

The salesman looke.l him over, grinne.l mockinglv. an.l waited on another customer. The actors hung an)und to see what woul.l happen.

The salesman grinned more mockingly than before, reached back on the shelf and pushed out a box of "Owls." The bibulous one helped his two newly found ac(|uaintances, place.l one between his teeth, and then struck his hand deep down in the i)ocket of his aforementioned shabby trousers, and pulled out a wad of yellow backs, which ma.le the salesman turn green with mvy.

Ji Ji % You have often heard of the old-time trick nf making smoke c^me out of your ears and eyes, but you have probably never heard of the stunt which T. W'. Sergeant, of Rochester, is performing these days. Recently, ^[r. Sergeant was com- pelled to undergo an operation on his throat and a tube was inserted in his neck so that .he could breathe through it. his nose or mouth being blocked. W^ith this tube, he draws in his breath through a hole in his neck and is going ab^^ut the country e.xhibiting this won.lerful act to the various medical stii.lents. Recently, in a demonstration at New Orleans.

Idle West whole acres of farm land are devoted exclusively to the raising of cobs suit- able for pipe bowls. The grain of this corn is markete.l. but the cob on which it grows is the real harvest. These ends are rounded smooth and polished and the inner pulp taken out by machinery. The American corn cob pipe is being exported to-day into every country in the w.irld. being in special favor in .Australia and Xew Zealand, where they are regarderl a-j characteristically .\merican because they suggest the i.lea n\ Yankee ingenuity. Briar pipes are in fav.>r with English smokers, meerschaums still hold favor with German an.l Aus- trian smokers, but the corn cob seems to have a place near to the heart of the American smoker.

Weight 3000 lbs ) FRANKLIN S. SMITH, The Inventor. Only Iwo laboring men are necessary to operate the Sterilizer to load the conveyer and keep it clear. Specially made vacuum tubes are in the hanging boxes on each side of the tunnel through which the conveyer runs. The larger box to the left con- tains electric machinery by which the ordinary current is stepped up to the high voltage necessary to kill germ life in the eggs. I y^ I MIVIIK)!) nf killing; the destructive "tobaccu bug." |i^ wliicli causes a loss of $i,(XX).ooo a year to the cigar MM^ manufacturer and leaf dealer, lias been found, and IP^Hr^l jj^^ ^l■^^.n{ pn.hkni of the tobacco trade, one which the United States goveninient has wrestled with for years with- out success, it is believed has been solved by a young man not yet in his thirties. By his process, not only is the grown beetle destroyed, but the young and the unhatched eggs are steriliz.ed without injury to the tobacco. This apparent miracle is not performed by the use of chemicals and heat, recommended by the Agricultural I)ei)artment. but found to posse-ss little practical value by the manufacturers. The new process is electrical. The ruinous bug and his devastating family are almost literallv electrocuted like a criminal in the fatal chair. This result is achieved by the simple process of running the tobacco through a machine. The discoverer of the new ])rocess is i'Vaiiklin S. Smith, of 24 South American street, Philadelphia. He also is the inventor of the machine which does the work and which he calls the Electri-Sterilizer. The machine is covered bv patents both in the United States and foreign countries. Of the insects, injurious to cured obacco, none approach, in economic imi^ortance, the species known as the "cigarette beetle." Working, as it does in all kinds of cured tobacco and living in tobacco during all stages of its existence, it damages cigarettes and cigars by boring out of them, making round holes in the wrappers so that the "smokes" will not draw.

The leaf comes from Havana by direct steamship up the gulf to Tampa and is there made intej cigars by native Cubans. Thus the conditions— climate an.l all— virtually dupli- cate those under which the actual cigars are made." The advertisement oflfers Cabinet Royals at $5.50 for a box of fifty, Roth.schilds h:specials at .^5 a box, I'anetallas at $4.50 a b.)X. and Turi- tanos Specials at S4. These advertisements proved active trade bringers and the cigar de- partment reflected the increased business. The advertisements of Martin.lale are al- ways uniejuc and convincing and this house has evidently struck the right trail in the matter of handling its publicity to the consumer.

Ex- periments have shown tliat the burley grown in Ohio and In- diana is every bit as good as that of Kentucky and eminently suits the purposes of the manufacturers. Growers of Ohio and Indiana feel safe against any such organizations as the •night riders' and the Society of Equity, for tliere is no law in either State which will hold them to their agreements after having entered a pool. •Ihis will make it almost impossible to form a pool ol Ohio or Indiana grown burley. 1 do not know what it is all leading to, but 1 am convinced that in the near future the pro- duction of burley north of the Ohio river will be equally as large if not larger than that grown in KeiUucky. The Ken- tucky growers are held between two tires, with the Society of i:«iuity on one hand and the 'night riders' the other and their position is not an enviable one, while in the two northern States the growers are able to enjoy complete immunity from the attacks of either of these organizations."

The dignified and emphatic protest laid before the Bureau of Insular Affairs at Washington last week by representative American cigar manufacturers cannot well be ignored. While the stamp guaranteeing the standard of (juality Government of the Philippine cigars is not so objecti(jnable Should Heed •" itself, the abuses which are practised in its Manufacturers' "«i"n^ are certainly contrary to clean business Protest. methods. Unscrupulous advertisers have seized upon this label to unload low-grade goods, claiming that the Government guarantees the (juality of the product. It is hoped that Secretary of War Dickinson and Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, General Edwards, will put an immediate stop to this practice by abolishing the stamp itself. Those of the Commfitee of Manufacturers who visited Washington arc not over .sanguine that the Department will issue such an edict and it may be necessary to appeal to Congress for special legislation. Importers of Manila cigars, which have real merit, need not fear the abolition of this stamp. It is oidy those importers who are trying to bring in shoddy goods and palm them off as high-grade cigars under the cloak of a Government stamp, who will be hit.

W hether the order will be obeyed as strictly as a similar one against the use of intoxicants is doubtful. It is against human nature to live in a groi.)ve, and we surmise that nuuiy a • iuiet smoke and chew will be indulged in when the be)ss is not koking, Vou cannot legislate out the habits of a lifetime. Wouldn't It Be Too Funny ? if, as a result of the present nationalizing and federalization i.l all our industries and our finances, these spankings and inipris- onments winch a paternal government administers i^with unction and tears, it is true) but adnunisters nevertheless; wouldn't it l)e funnier tlian a goat, we say, if Robert E. Lee shoiiKl one day be pointed at in the American Hall of Eame as the one great big man who tried to make the Slates of this Reiiublic indestructible, thus aiding Grant to make the Union indis- soluble ? In the efiort to daddy everything and everybody Senator I'enrose intimated at the Lincoln Birthday dinner of the League that there is such a thing as going to ilern far. The tobacco monopoly of the Italian Government is stateil to have yielded a net profit of nearly $37,000,000 last year. I ,. J r^i -^^ previously remarketl m these Italian and Uther columns, it looks a little hard tliat every Tobacco Monopolies, luiropean Government should seize upon tobacco as the one great source of inter- nal revenue. Governments well know that the weed is some- tliing man must and will have, hence they make it an object of •special legislation and tax it in so many subtle and different ways that by the time it reaches the individual it is a thing of luxury and not of solace and comfort, as the Almighty in- tended it. Some day the people in their might and in their wrath will rise and smash the mailed hand of Government and reijiiire it to select other staple articles, as well as tobacco, from which to draw sustenance.

Mr. Costello is a man of ripe experience in his field, a keen student of conditions and has that winning, aggressive per- sonality which does not admit of defeat.

Mr. Dalton considered this price exorbitant and decided to seek quarters nearby. The new stand, while it is not as prominent as the old. should prove a good trade centre.

About nine vears ago the business was moved to the Mutual Life Building, and has since been maintained there Following the death of Mr. Steane. the business was sold to the Waldorf-Astoria Segar Company, who have been using it as headquarters for handling their wholesale business in Philadelphia, in addition to retailing to the transient trade. This branch of the Waldorf-Astoria Segar Company has been closed in line with their policy of concentrating their busi- ness entirelv to wholesale and directing their affairs from New York. The stock was sold at public auction and consi^^ted of a fine lot of pipes, cigars, tobacco and cigarettes. Evans Opens New Store. \ new drug store has been opened at 122 1 Market street bv Oo. B.

The sales for the month of January were running sotuewhat behind ex- pectations. The present indications are that February may pos- siblv fall somewhat behind. It is a short month, and the holi- davs during the month are not of a nature that would produce anv particular increase in the volume of busine'^s.

This factory has l)een somewhat handicapped during the past few iiionlhs by being comi)elled to use tem- porary 1 0,000. 11. P. Tompkins & Co., of Louisville, have opened a large tobacco warehouse at Tompkiiisville, Ky. This is the first year that Muiiroe County, Ky., has raised or dealt in the weed on a large scale. A new incorporation reported from Denver, Col., is that of the Denver Cigar Manufacturing Company. The incorporator^ are Joseph Jacobs, Barnett Genwert and Morris Ginsberg. Ihe capital is i?300,ooo.

I'van S Rees, manager of the Home Tobacco Warehouse, of L.>uisville, Ky., has cabled the British Agricultural Depart- ment declining the oiler of the department to go to Pretoria, \frica to take charge of the tobacco warehouses there and act as Government superintendent of culture. The oiler carried with it $5,000 a year and an annual increase, together with all family expenses in getting there. Several other tobacco men, it is said, will make application for this position, which is one of decided honor and emoluments. It will be recalled that a year ago Professor W . 11. Scherr- llus, a Kentucky expert, was delegated by the liritish Govern- ment to show the natives of the Transvaal the best method of planting and raising tobacco. The proffer to Mr. Rees was in eonnection with Professor Scherrfluss work. "The Damnation of Theron Ware". "A good name is better than great riches," said King Sol- omon; which reminds us : Some cigarmakers think it smart to get publicity through establishing a good name and then to get "great riches through conjury. They obtrude their cigars with the good name on the band or box while the insides of the cigar is well known to many to be full of all uncleanness Several well- known brands of cigars long since entered the ;'stinkadora class, but their makers oiYer them still as goods which sell on sight" They arc really nicelodians en mas(|ue and badly masked, at that. Smoke, smell and taste one and you'll ask for a "Cinco" or a "Cremo" on a run. 1 1 K present state and prospective outlook for the cigar industry at Tampa is better now than it ever has been. Shipments of cigars from Tampa are showing a steatly increase averaging alx)ut a million a week. During tile latter part of January the largest record ever made for that time of the year was recorded and that showed, as has been stated above, an increase of over a million a week over the same period of the previous year. These facts record better than anything else could the condition of the trade. The extraordinary proi)ortion of stemmed leaf tobacco as shown by the imports and withdrawals is also noteworthy, and it shows that olit of recent withdrawals of 813 bales. 531 bales were stemmed, which winild indicate an unexpected rush o£ continuance of orders for goods. The receipts of cigars from Cuba show a small decrease, while imports of leaf show the actvity above noted. Customs officers recently discovered and seized quite a lot i)i cigars and cigarettes on Ix^ard the P. & O. steamer Mascott at Tampa. It contained 1100 tine Havana cigars and 16 reels of cigarettes containing 26 packs to the reel. These articles were to be "run in" in defiance of the duties collectible and w ith all tliC vigilance of the Customs officers, it was impossible to discover who was the real owner of the goods. It seems that a night inspector of the Customs service was going about the Mascott when he noticed a suitcase lying on a bunk. Of course he opened it and found the cigars neatly packed in the bag. He then searched the mattress and found the cigarettes concealed in it. After making diligent iiKjuiry as to their own- ership the goods were seized without further ado. and thus frus- trateil a l^old game. All passenger baggage is now inspected in 1 lavana and the inspection here is made in a general way for just such contingencies as this inspector found in making his rounds. The Tampa cigar manufacturing industry will be magnifi- cently represented in the great Washington Birthday growth- showing i)arade of the Panama Canal celebration of February 12-26. A highly commendable action was taken recently by the Clear Havana Cigar Manufacturers' Association in ap|)ro- priating $500 for the phrpose of having the industry adetjuately represented in the monster parade, by a float which shall truly sliow the magnitude of the industry. The reappointment of Col. Matthew 1>. Macfarlane, as Collector of Customs for the port of Tampa, came as an agree- able surprise to the Tampa trade. f(»r it was known among tliem that there were other aspirants to the place and it will be his fourth term of office, having been first appointed twelve years ago bv President McKinley. and later was reappointed by President Roosevelt, and again named by President Taft for the fourth term. The post of Collector of Customs for Tampa is both an arduous and highly responsible position, A new cigar factory has been addtd to Tampa's long list by the establishment here of the P.riskol Cigar Comi)any. which was located at the intersection of Washington and Franklin streets. They have just put upon the market a 5-cent cigarwhich they called the "P. H. S." and which, as the name is supposed to imply, they guarantee it to be made of pure Havana stock. ) Ihe cigar is made m three shapes now, namely, brevas, espe- ciales and conchas. Mr. IJriskol, the general manager of the factory, came to this city from New Orleans ami is an expe- rience* 1 l(^>bacco man. The highest testimonial which the cigar traile of Tampa could bestow was recently tendered to I'resident I'.iuuiue Pen- das, of the Clear Havana Cigar .Manufacturers Ass«»ciaii«>n. by the teiulering of a baiuiuet which was one of the most elabo- rate ever heUl at the famous Tampa P.ay Hotel. Increased significance was attached to this dinner by the fact that recently there was con>nminated long-pending negotiations between the manufacturers of Tampa ami the cigarmakers. and it was be- lieved that the recent signing of an agreement between the two factors meant permanent peace for this imix>rtant industry. an«l lurthermore that it placed all the manufacturer-, uiH.n an et|ual basis as to sizes and prices. The ban(|uet tables were surrounded by (»8 members id* llie tra«le and specially invited guests, ami it was presided over by 1-'.<1. J. Stachelberg, who acted as toastmaster in a highly pleasing manner. After a brief address of welcme luul been made, the presiding officer introduced A. Ramirez, secretary of the association, who presented a carefully preparetl review of the w»>rk in behalf «d' the industry during President Pendas* incumbency. .Mr. Ramirez concluded the remarks by present- ing President Pendas, in the name of the association, with a magnificent solid silver tea set, which brought almiit an t)vation such as is seMom heard in Tanij)a. Presin «»f sizes was adopted recently by the Tampa manufacturers, a letter was forwarded to TVancisco Fleitas, President of the .Manufac- turer's .Association of Key West which read as f<»llows: "Pursuant t«i a rcsolutii>ti of this association asstMiiliIril at a Kciural nu'ctiiiK. wc l)('R to inform you, and throunh y«)U all the nicniluTS of your association, that a njovcnu-nt for tlic iMiuah/.ition of sizes and labor prices has f»ccn carried out by mutual aj{re»nuitt of the ni.inu- facturers and ciKarmakcrs of Tampa, and a K^'x^'ral standard list adopted for the equali/ation of discrepancies in the past, and future ffuidaticc in the adjusttnent of any controversies that may arise between uiaiuitacturers and workmen.

Increase in Sumatra Sales at Amsterdam. Consul Henry H. Morgan reix>rls as follows on the tobacco sales held at Amsterdam during the year lyocj: -The sales amounted to 271,353 bales of Sumatra tobacco, which averaged ^.^2 per 2.2 i>ounds, against 272,403 bales in 1908, at an average price of i?.3^X). The sale of liorneo tobacco amounted to 15,121 bales, at an average price of ti<>. 305. against 18,220 bales, at an average price of $0,314 for i(>)8. Sumatra tobacco bought at Amsterdam and e.\porte8, and $8,059,770 "^ I9«7- Cermany, Austria, and I'Vance are also large buyers in the Amsterdam market. Dur- ing the months of May and June the market was somewhat 111- tUieiiced and hami)ered by the fact that the Austrian dovern- meiit had changed its system of buying, but thereafter prices gradually increaseil, and when it was known that there would only be a small (juantity for the fall sales suitable for the Ainerican market this also had the effect of causing a rise in the price. Mr. Morgan reviews the yield of the Dutch tobacco plan- tations in Sumatra for the current season: "At the commencement of the year 1909 the prospects of the Sumatra tobacco crop were very unsatisfactory on account of the drought, which was complained of by almost all the tobacco estates, in June, however, the weather conditions changed for the better, and the reports regarding the 1909 crop were more favorable, but the (luality of the crop is not consid- ered as g(K)d as the crop of 1908." The Indische Mercuur gives an estimate of the 1909 crop of Sumatra tobacco, together with the estates on which grown. and the c(imparison with the 1908 crop. The 54 estates named produced a total of 274.7<^'4 hales, against 265.880 bales in 1908. The bales weigh 140 to 180 pounds each, averaging \(>o pounds. Peter V. Murphv & Co..

Of the cigars manufactured. 80 per cent, ranged in price fwholesale'l from S7 cents to $1.13 per too; four per cent, from $1.15 to $1.55 ; and iT) per cent, over Si. 55. It should he noted however, that cigars are consumed chiefly by the foreign popu- lation of Russia, as indicated in the large number of factories in the Baltic pnn'inces — Poland and the two capitals. Moscow and St. Petersburg. The ancient Russians onlv knew the pipe, using the grade of tobacco called Makhorka. In TO08 the pro- duction of this grade aggregated about 144.000.000 pounds. The use of this inferior grade of tobacco is becoming gradually less, through the introduction of the cigarette, which is pop- ular with all classes. Tn addition to the sale of cigarettes, 32.- 760.000 pounds of tobacco were sold for so-called home-made cigarettes ; that is to say. the smoker buys the tobacco, casing, etc.. and makes the cigarette himself. A revenue tax has now been levied upon cigarette casings, so that in the future it will be possible to establish exactly the record of consumption of the home-made article. As Russia's production of tobacco is inadequate and the deficiency must he made up by importations, the I 'nited States contributing largely, but. as in other exports, selling through commission houses in Hamlnirg and Bremen.

Most retail- ers are now building considerable l.oi>e upon the prospective re- turn of the slot machines, which the city authorities have vir- tually promised shall be allowed upon the counters, under cer- tain restrictions, within a few weeks. If certain distasteful features arising from the machines can be eliminated, tliere is no doubt that much g(K>d will result to the trade, especiallv in the sale of higher-i)riced cigars, in which there was some fall- ing olY when tlie machines were banished last summer. The comj)aratively smaller mnnber of men in the business will make the benefit larger at the start than it would be otherwise, but in all probability a gmnl many new stands will be opened within the ne.xt few months, and rentals will have a tendency to go back to the former high figures.

Trade conditions tluring that month all along seemed to be fairly good, and it there tore came as a great surprise when the report of the Col- lector of Internal Revenue was announced and with regard to the sale of cigar stamps there was a production during the month of January of only 48,790,700 cigars, which was indeed the smallest record of output of the month of January in ten years, as is shown by the foil* wing table : January, lyoy 50.437,000 January, iyo8 5i,;tt(),-i5o January, 1907 ()7,4i9,fX> O4.y05,joi) J anuary, 1905 57»707»tKXJ January, 1904 54.759./^^ January, 1903 01,198.500 January, 190J ()A9^5.ooo January, 1901 70,707,700 At tl)e present time factory conditions do not seem to be very bad, and there is some reason to hope that February will show better results proportionately than January did. It must be taken into consideration, however, that this month has sev- eral holidays, in addition to four Sundays, and that as a matter of fact there are just 21 working days in this month. This is sure to have a certain etTect ujKjn the production of cigars. The leaf tobacco packers are not so much elated from what the writer can gather from the ileliveries which have thus far been made (»f this year's crop. In fact, there are quite a num- ber of them who are not buying at all, and who say they will not buy at prices which have recently prevailed. Some com- plaint has also been heard that farmers are not sorting their crops as carefully as might be desired, and are inclined to let filler tobacco slip into what should be strictly wrapper leaf. A good many buyers have withdrawn from the field, at least tem- I^Kjrarily, to await further developments. Julius \ etterlein of Julius V'ettcrlein & Co., Philadelphia. was recently a visitor to his finn's local warehouse here, and was also prospecting in the market for some old goods. To a Ton.xcco WoRi-D representative, Mr. V'etterlein stated that he could find neither old gixuls which he desired and that the new- crops dit recently several hundred cases were di>i)o.sed of, which reduced tl.eir holdings to a minimum. I.

Jt is staled that it is proposed to erect upon the site an immense cigar factory buiMing which will portray a fine architectural elVect. The plot covers a space of 83 feet on (Jeorge street and 230 feet on I'oundary avenue. This fac- tory, when completed, it is stated, will be one of the largest which the hrm has in its total number of sixteen. The con- struction will be of a highly sanitary nature and thoroughly modern in every respect. The building will afford employ- ment for over 500 hands and work on the erection of the new building will be pushed vigorously. H. j. Roth ^ Co., of McSlierrystown, informs us that they have, since the new year, booked some large (orders and that their factorv is being «»perate(! with a full force of cigar- makers. J'his hrm has met with considerable success in the past few years, and is now among the larger active factories at that place. The McSherryst<»wn C igar Company, under the direction t»f H. J.

Chas. K. Miller, who as the maker of "Pure Grit" brand of union-made cigars, has won a wide reputation, reports that certainly his trade has been i'lcreasiug in volume, especially from Pacific Coast points. There has been no recession in activities since the new year set in. I. C,. McKinuey's Son, also of ^TcSherrystown, announce that their business has been improving quite nicely. They are makers of a brand called "President's Taste," which is retailed at 10 cents, and there appears to be (|uite a run on ^he brand. Jacob Winter, a member of the cigar firm of R. W.

His ccnulitioii is not regarded as critical, but he is still confined to the house. The "Billy I'ossum" 5-ceut cigar is last becoming one of the most popular brands made by Warren Beck & liro., of York.

The various downtown stores report a good transient trade. James R. \'an \'echten, secretary of the transportation de- partment of the Detroit Board of Commerce, has returned from the San Antonio meeting of the Western Classification Committee, with the pleasing news that Detroit cigar manufac- turers will be permitted to retain the packages which have been used in shipping cigars to the far West, with a change to a tin seal. Since the agitation was started by Detroit manufacturers conditions have changed, and they are now able to obtain tin seals at reasonable prices. 15esides retaining the old packages, ihey have l>een given the privilege «>! using another kind of package if they so desire. By allowing manufacturers and merchants to become ac- customed, by degrees, to the new State demand, the Michigan State Factory Insi)ection lUircau has caused warrants for but three violations of the 54-hour-a-week labor law, which went into etYect last September. Cigar and tobacco manufacturers were keen sufl'erers from the law, and it is to the credit of the trade that warrants have not been issued for any tobacco manufacturers. Despite the spread of the local option wave in Michigan, more tobacco stamps were sold through the Detroit Intenial Revenue Office during January, 1910, than in January, 1909. Cigars made the greatest January mark on record. Usually the first month in the year is considered a dull one for the cigar manufacturers, as many men have stocked up cigars on Christ- mas, ])ut this year the factories turned out an increased num- ber. The January, 191 o. total was $62,759, and the January, 19CK), figure, $48,865. Tobacco increased from $64,138 to $102,696. There have been rumors, in Bay City, that the United Cigar Stores Company was endeavoring to gain a foothold in the municipality. It was recently reported the company would take over the store owned by C. H. Hill, but Hill denies this.

C I irfS|Miiied hy ^ggg the merger into one large corporation of the larger growers and packers which was finally consummated last week after many months of negotiations. The consolidation affects not only I'lorida. hut (leorgia, which has a considerahle acreage devoted to tohacco raising, as well, and the new company, which will he known as the Ameri- can Sumatra Tohacco Co., was organized under the laws of the State uf Georgia with a capital of $«S.ooo,ooo, of which amount Jj?!, 000,000 is seven per cent, preferred stock and S7 .cxx),()00 is common stock. The final meeting of the interested parties was held at At- lanta, Ga., on Wednesday last, and at which time officers for the coming year were elected and are as follows: President, A. Cohn; vice president, D. A. Shaw; secretary, Leonard A. Cohn ; treasurer, hVank M. Arguimhau. The new comhination is a consolidation of the folk • wing houses, all of whom have heretofore heen ])rominent in tohacco culture in the South and to whom is due the credit for the ad- vancement thus made in the industry in that country: A. Cohn tS: Co., of Bainhridge, Ga. ; Schroeder & Arguimhau, Morida To- hacco Co., Lichtenstein Florida Tobacco Co., Taussig & Co., Kraus-McFarlane Co., Wedeles Bros., ant now m a comi)lainl hnmght against them by the .\mericaji Snuff CiK, which is an adjunct of the American To- bacco C'o.

HON. W. W. GRIEST. M. C. "Immediately subse(juent to the enactment of the tariff bill last August, I learned that the insular government was pre- pared to issu<, a stamp or label for use on boxes of Philippine cigars produced for shipment to the United States. It was difficult to obtain a copy of the Philippine order, but the offi- cials of the Insular Hureau of the War Department cabled to Manila for a copy, and it was furnished early in February. "Prior to its receipt the impression prevailed that the ac- tion was based upon an order issued by the Governor General of the IMiilippines, although the statement had gone broadcast to the effect that it was an act of the Philippine General As- sembly, which could only be vetoed by the United States Con- gress, but both of these views were erroneous. "The governmental assurances conveyed by the cigar ex- port stamp are eminently improper, and the privileged guaran- tee of the Philippine cigars should cease forthwith." How to Keep Cigar Lids in Place. A cigar lid holder, which keeps the lids at a uniform angle and provides a convenient holder for the price card, is manu- facture«l by the Ideal Cigar Lid Holder Co., of 1267 Broadway, New York. These holders have been introduced in nearly all the leading stores of the country and their users are the loudest in the praise of these up-to-date fixtures. New Line of Nickel Cigars. Wolf Bros. & Co., of Red Lion, I'a., are placing on the market a new line of nickel goods under the brand names of "Duke of Trent" and "Harry Wilton." They have already en- listed the interest of several live jobbers, and the sale has ex- tended clear to the Pacific Coast. Mr. A. S. Ziegler, of this firm, is in charge of the sales department and visits his trade regularly. James Ilamman, Jr.. has started the manufacture of cigars at his place of business on Market street, Youngstown, Ohio. The Epstein Cigar and Tobacco Company, of Minneapo- lis, have been petitioned into bankruptcy by Hamburger, of New York, and a company at St. Louis and Tiffin, Ohio. The signs are that the Supreme Court at Washington has been evenly divided in the matter of the American Tobacco Co.'s case. All of them went out, doubtless, for a little half- and-half. A Grand Rapids judge has threatened to prosecute anyone giving a minor smoking tobacco. He can do so under the new State law. R. R. Compton now owns a half interest in the L. & W. cigar factory in Riverside, Elkhart, Ind. A chain of retail cigar stores will be opened in Norfolk, Va., by the Norfolk Cigar Stores, Incorporated. THE onlooker has seen some strange vehicles for illicit whiskey in his time, but the gelatine tubes used by a West lN»urteenth street cigar dealer in New York lately has cai)ped with gelatine anything before in- vented. The fre(|uent calls at his place of conductors and motormen benumbed with cold revealed the fact that the cigar man was selling what seemed to be two cigars enclosed in a gelatine case. Really they were loaded with Old Rye and the purchaser had oidy to unscrew an end and take a swig. It was real mean in the sleuths to pull him in, but they did and the cigar man said he was innocent in his intentions and merely wanted to provide the street car men with a drop of something that would warm them up. One thousand dollar? bail, said the magistrate. If tobacco smokers and chewers were to listen to all the hints given them they would be buried beneath an avalanche of well meant warnings. I was not a little interested by a volume called "Those Nerves," of which George L. W^alton, M. D., a Massachusetts doctor of distinction, is the author. Dr. Walton tells us that there is such a thing as tobacco saturation and his ail vice to all sentient beings is that they check up before they reach that stage. When a bucket is full of water a single drop may cause an overflow. The Doctor believes in cessation, tak- ing a rest, in short, when the nerves and the heart are plainly affected. Some of Doctor Walton's conclusions are these: It is wrong to resort to the "dry smoke," being a species of chewing. If you need to quit tobacco for a time, quit it. The domestic cigar may be continued longer by the sus- ceptible and fragrant Havana. A light wrapper does not always cover a mild filling. A Spanish Claro should not be followed in estimating the effect of the cigar upon the nervous system. In lessening the amount of tobacco used, form the habit of smoking a half cigar instead of lessening the number of cigars smoked through. This produces a glow of pride and disposes of the worst half of the cigar. The bad effects of cigarette smoking result from frequent repetition and the inhaling of the smoke, rather than in any peculiarly toxic effect of the cigarette. ji ji ^ Political economy and one's duty to the Government as taught by Yale College professors at New Haven makes little impression on makers of stogies in that classic locality. United States revenue agents have been quite busy of late hauling people to prison for forgetting to pay the tax on seductive stogies sold at one cent each. Stogie makers are thick round New Haven, generally of Italian origin, and if there is one thing an Italian dislikes to give up, it is tax money to pay the Government. Jt Jt Jt I heard the other day a good one from Mexico: An American cowboy imprisoned in Mexico for stealing a ride on a freight train, was shoved into a cell with six Mexicans, all of whom were smoking cigarettes. In the afternoon he was put to street paving. For supper he got red beans, boiled in plain water and a ragged quilt to sleep on. The cigarettes puzzled him when he entered the cell, but as he marched out from the jail the next morning the cominandante handed him a small coin. "For cigarettes." he said, with an amiable wave of his hand. The American saved up his cigarette money and with it ct»iUrived to send a message to some friends, who came and paid his fine and got l.im out. J* j» J* William [.oeb. collector of cust«»ms at New ^^.rk City, is «)ne of the most ruthless and don't-care-a-d sort of cigar dealers in the country. He just jerks uj) all sorts of fragrant cigars, aromatic cigarettes and choice Turkish peril pies and places them under the hammer, especially when the duties have not been j)ai(l. He would even seize a lot of cigars consigned to W. II. Taft or Uncle Joe Camion if they were not properly declared and battleship duties paid. A sale of this kind (nrcurred Feb. j^rd. when 144 separate lots were exposed for sale at auction. A Wom.\n's Gihe at Loeh. 1 To smoke or not to smoke. Is woman's mooted (piestion. It's bad for reputations, Though they said it aids digestion. But now Collector Loeb has said That by the new decree Three hundred foreign cigarettes May be imported free. This makes "the usage of the weed". (That's really smokers' jargon) Come very close to woman's heart, It sounds like such a bargain. So hail the Turkish cigarette! And shoidd old Grundy probe, Why, what care we? For don't you see, We'll put it up to Loeb. ffm Jm Jm Suggesting to a young reporter that his cigar smelled like a 15-center, the youth told the managing editor that such indeed was the grade he consumed. "Isn't a bit expensive for a man on your salary?" said the city editor. "Clearly you are a mind reader," said the reporter. "I was just about suggesting to you that a small raise in my salary would put me on easy street as regards my cigars and would end much anxiety. Do I get the raise?" "Well, if you must smoke 15-cent cigars — yes," re- plied the editor. Just then Bums kicked himself and awoke. It was only a dream. Harry H. Inman, of the big cigar and tobacco establish- ment on Pine avenue, Los Angeles, was the victim of a funny joke recently. It was all about a hair tonic which his friends induced him to use in order to restore its old-time shade and to induce more hair to appear. Fifteen minutes after he applied the tonic every hair on Inman's head was dyed a rich shade of tobacco red ; one described as a cross between the setting sun and diluted licorice. Inman did not want to lose his hair, so he has been trying to kill the nicotine shade through scientific methods. In the meantime he wears his Derby pulled away down. 12 THE TOBACCO WORLD i^ ■J 5 The Capital Value of Show Windows. sm, Iwl r ^iTm-> r.ithtr stiaii^i- th.it n »t iiinn- retail (kak-rs rcal- 1 i/< tlir rial \aIiK- <»f tlu'ir >lii>\\ windnw spaces, and >(t tins Iiavf an aitnal vahic that is «|nit(.' in kct'pinj^^ witli i!'c a(ti:al ca-li invr»tf«I in their >ti>ck of j^oods, il n well a^ all other assets resnllinj,' from his Inisiness. That i- pn.hahly a simjik- matter to him and it may ^'ive him to an extent the intelli^^ence which he seeks, T.nt ulk displays attract attention, of course, but it is a (piestion as to whether it will attract as much notice by havinp^ a profusion of any brand of j^oods. as would be attracted as a real window display in which are ar- raiij^^ed in some tasteful order and special designs a variety of selected (^fferiufjs or specialties. The theory that the .greatest good for the j^jrcatest number is always best, and if that theory be adopted then it would ar- j.;ue in favor of the window display rather than a bulk effect. In other words the window must obtain for the dealer the j^ireatest good from the greatest number of people — and to at- tain that end inust be his constant study. The accomplish- ment wonld seem to be more feasible if the window be dressed in such a wav that the disnlav can be so varied as to attract the attention of the greatest number of passersby and in that way ge« il.2 gicj'.test jxjssible amount of custom out of it. oo Two-Minute Chat with Retailers. I i> only after a man makes a tliorough test of his own limitations that he can become thoroughly cognizant. The trouble seems to be that too many do not soon enough realize wlicn their limit has been reached and conse<|Uently attempt things entirely beyond their cai)acity. while others apparently make no attempt to ascertain the ca- pacity which they really do possess. I'ortunate indeed is the man who realizes early enough in life tl.at none can be abso- lutely superior in all things an of others, whom he knows can bring success to him. and to also show* him where he can succeed better by liis own etforts. It is a grand achievement to be able to learn one's own limitations in time, and if then there is added to that knowledge the ability to gauge the limitati«>ns which have been discovered a successful career is much more certain. Heart to Heart Talks with Clerks. RICCl!lXTLY I came into personal contact with a cigar store clerk in a progressive way who had become known as a chronic kicker. It might seem strange when I say that notwithstanding this he was regarded bv his employer, who is a very progressive and successful mer- chant, as the most valuable of the several assistants. This kicking clerk invariably got the attention of the proprietor when he ma. It will always lielj) sales, and fre(|uently bring orders when the salesman is not «»n the ground. 10. It will act as an immediate advance agent to the trade for all new brands or important propositions. The 1'..

Havana cigar manufacturers are still fighting hard to make a living, and while some of our big factories report having re- ceived good orders, and that business seems to be improving, the majority of the medium and small establishments, remain in the same condition as previously stated. However, as business ought to be good this year all over the world, and as long as the habit of smoking is not on the wane, there is hope for the future, particularly as tbe cigars turned out by our factories are now excellent in taste, and as good, as they have ever been. Henry Clay, & Bock & Co., Limited, are working well in all of their factories, and bave plenty of orders. They shut down for two days owing to the untimely demise of Don Gustavo Bock, but Mr. J. Norman Staples, who has been the right bower of Don Gustavo, during the latter's directorship, is now trying to catch up again in the execution of calls from all countries, and the company is making a very heavy shipment of cigars to-day. "Sol" is working along quite steadily, with good orders from the principal consuming countries of Havana cigars. Other busy factories are : Romeo & Julieta, Partagas, La Escepcion, H. Upmann, Flor dc A. Fernandez Garcia, Por Lar- ranaga & Belinda. DON GUSTAVO BOCK Born in Hanover, Germany, 1H36. Diet! in Havana.

Don Antero (ionzalez the original founder of this house, arrived here at the beginning of this month from Spain, and while he is still a silent partner, he did not come over on business, but simply upon a pleasure trip, and to see his old friends.

Fine cut chewing tobacco can be put up in packages of 10, 20, 40 and 60 ounces each, while snutT may be put up in jars or blad- ders which hold not more than 20 i)ounds. Another measure bearing upon the tobacco trade was in- troduced by Mr. Thomas, of Kentucky, which provides for the sale of unstemmed leaf tobacco in the hanureau. The presence of a cigar or cigarette between a woman's lips should leave no doubt of the fact that she is over eighteen. Alas that she should ever contract the habit whether at eighteen or fifty! However, we should not moralize, for New York jewelers sold twice as many cigarette boxes to women in 1909 than to men. II 16 THE TOBACCO WORLD Beveridge's New Anti-Coupon Bill.

At this meeting dele- gates will likely also be named to attend the convention of the Nationa Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association, wliich will be this year held in Hartford, Conn., on Monday and Tuesday, May <;tli and loth. Philadelphia Factories Generally Busy. The cigar mamifacturers seem to be generally pretty l)Usy for this time of the year. Kei)<>rts from cigar box manu- facturers also verify these claims, inasmuch as they have had during the month a healthy increase in the consumj)tion of cigar boxes, by local factories. Some of the factories have been in- creasing their working forces, but up to this time there has been little ditficulty in getting enough cigar makers. A pre- mature strike has been reported in anrt to make of the conditions in that section, and which are highly favorable to the product of the T. & ( ). Co. riieir factories are all well filled with orders and forces of cigarmakers have in some instances been lately increased. .\ twenty per cent, increase of the sales of the correspond- ing peri(Kl of last year is shown in the "Counsellor" brand of .Mien R. Cressman's Stnis in I'hiladelphia. At some points outside of this city even a greater gain is shown. (iodfrey S. Mahn is now on his annual visit to Cuba, and will return by way of Key West and Tampa, making selec- tions of some certain sizes of fine clear ilavana cigars. The Sabarosa factory of \'etterlein liros. is running full blast, and a fine line of orders was recently brought in by Roy X'ettcrlein upon his return from a business trip through the West. The 44 Cigar Co. is prospecting for an additional factory. \\ hen they took possession of their new building at Eleventh and Wharton streets it seemed to possess ample facilities for some time to come, but already its capacity is becoming heavily taxed with many and large orders for their product making additional facilities necessary. L. G. Ilaeussermann & Sons, leaf tobacco jobbers on .North I'hird street, have found the change by removing their retail department from the second to the first flcK)r highly profitable in a more extensive business, which is steadily in- creasing. Carl L. Ilaeussermann, of this firm, is now devot- ing more attention to looking after the customers' needs by per- sonal visits with encouraging results. C. W. Saunders, representing the Cortez Cigar Co., of Key West, was a recent visitor in this city, en route to Atlantic City to look after special Easter trade in that popular resort, and where Cortez cigars have a good sale. E. F. Oppenheimer has rejoined the selling forces of the Cores-Martinez Cigar Co., after an absence of about two years, and will cover Chicago and vicinity, making occasional lri[)s through Illinois, Missouri and Indiana. S. K. Isaacs is another former salesman that has come back into the fold of the Cores-Martinez Co. When he left the company about a year ago he organized a jobbing firm at I larrisburg. Mr. Isaacs is now making his first trip through I'ennsylvania as far west as Gettysburg, and upon his return he will devote his time to represent the V-P cigars here. W. S. Luckett, of Luckett, Luchs & Lipscomb, Philadel- phia, has returned from a short trip through the West, during which he stopped at the leading cities as far West as St. Louis. .Mr. Luckett reports that cigar business in the West is quite brisk and that his trip was quite successful from a business standpoint.

Cold weather has prevailed over the State during the past month and this has curtailed business to a certain extent. I'actories are, however, ruiming full, but the probabilities are there will be a better trade shortly. Frohibi- tionists are insistent in their assertions that they will carry a majority of the counties of the I^tate in the spring elections, and while the decreased revenue from the cutting otY of hun- ilreds (.)f saloons will cause manufacturers worry it will not be so great as to seriously atfect the trade, it is noted that last year when a large number of counties went "dry"' the demand for cigars and tobacco did not fall ofi" to such an extent as wa^ lotjked for. Cigar factories in different jjarts of the city and .state are running full. Some manufacturers complain «>f a ditVuuIt\ in getting suitable help. Go«k1 wages are paid cig.irmakers anpe with present business and there is congestion in local switch- ing yards.

Manufacturers for the most part arc working with full forces, and some are very busy. Shii)ments to the Pacific Coast have been particularly heavy, and representatives of Key West factories who have recently visited the Coast all reporte«l g.Mxl business.

THE TOBACCO WORLD 25 United States Leads World in Tobacco Export. Startling Figures Compiled by Department of Commerce and Labor. rjrjTlORE than one billion dollars' worth of tobacco and |rj2y manufactures of tobacco have passed through ports ^^f "^^ t'le United States since 1890. the value of the ex- ports from the country during that period having ag- gregated six hundred and forty-six million and the imports into the country three hundred and eighty-six million dollars. These figures are exclusive of trade passing between the United States and its non-continguous territories, which showed in ujcx) alone cigars and other tobacco brought in from Porto Rico valued at five and three-quarters millions dollars and shijunents of to- bacco to Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico valued nearly two million dollars. The United States leads the world as an exporter of to- bacco, having supplied over forty-one million dollars in a total of approximately one hundred and fifty million dollars.' worth of tobacco and manufactures which entered international mark- ets last year. The principal countries exporting tobacco, according to figures compiled by the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart- ment of Commerce and Labor, are: The United States, forty- one million dollars; Cuba, about thirty-one and a half million; the Dutch ICast Indies, twenty-three million; the L'nited King- dom, seven million ; Brazil, four million, and Netherlands, three and a half million dollars. A second group of important ex- porters of tobacco, with exports averaging less than three mil- lion dollars per annum, includes Eg\pt, one and three-tiuarters million dollars; Austria-Hungary and Greece, each about two and one-half million; Germany, China and Mexico, each about one anil one-half million; France and Algeria, each about one and one-(|uarter million ; Japan, one and one-fifth million ; India and Switzerland, each about three-quarters of a million. In the exportation of manufactured tobacco Cuba is at the head of the list with a total of thirteen million dollars, compared with six million for the United Kingdom, four and three- (|uarters million for the bruited States, two and one-half million for Netherlands, two and one-third million for I'gypt, one and one-half million each for Germany and Brazil, one and one- quarter million for France, one millicm each for Japan and Austria-Hungary, three-c|uarters of a million for Algeria, and one-half million each for Italy, Belgium and India. Of the to- bacco ex|Kjrted from the United States, about eleven per cent, is in the manufactured form; and from Cuba, about forty-five per cent; while practically all the domestic exports of tobacco from the United Kingdom, Netherlands. I^gypt. Germany, I'Vance and Austria-Hungary arc in the manufactured .state. Both Germany and Japan export practically all of their tcjbacco in the form of cigars and cigarettes. Germany and the United States are the world's leading markets for tobacco, Germany being credited with thirty-five million, and the United States with thirty million dollars' worth of imports of that article, compared with twenty-five million dollars' worth imported into the United Kingdom and ten million into Austria-Hungary. Countries imi)orting between four and ten million dollars' worth of tobacco annually inchule France, Belgium, Netherlands and Canada. Of the tobacco imported into the United States in 1909 twenty-six million dollars' worth was raw and four million manufactured. Germany imported in 1908 raw tobacco valued at thirty million and manufactured tobacco at five million ; the United Kingdom, eighteen million raw and seven million man- ufactured; Austria-Hungary, nine million raw and one million manufactured, and India and the Straits Settlements practically all in the manufactured state. The share of manufactured to- bacco in the total tobacco importations of Australia, the Philip- pine Islands, Sweden and Norway varies from forty per cent, to about fifty per cent. Detailed statistics showing the imports and the exi)orts of tobacco in the commerce of the United States have been worked out for the period i8«>9 to k^k). IniiH)rts of unmanutacturetl to- bacco have increased from eleven ami three-(|uarter million dol- lars in iS.><> to twenty-six milli.m in 1(^k>; and of manufacture,! tobacco, from two and one-third niilliou to f,nir niilli.»n dollar^. Wrapper tobacco comes chiefly from Netherland>, though grown presumably in her ICa-t Indian possessions ; other raw to- bacco comes most largely fn.m Cuba, and in smaller anii.unts trom Turkey and Germany; our iini>orted cigars come almost exclusively fn.m Cuba. I':xi)orts of tobacco and manufactures thereof from the United States have increased from thirty-five million d(»llars in i8<>^ to forty-one million in 1909. the unmanu- factured article going principally to the United Kingdom, Ger- many, Italy. I'rance, and other luirojiean countries. Austral- asia and Canada; American cigarettes chiefly to India and China, and plug tobacco mostly to British Australasia. Great P.ritain and Canada. The tobacco crop of the United States in u)o8 was seven hundred and eighteen million pounds, valued at seventy-four million dollars; the value of domestic manufacture^, acconling to the census of 1905. three hundred and thirty-one niilli.ni; the revenue derived from domestic t«)l)acco in i(^)8. titty mil- lion, and the total duties collected on imported tobacco in the fiscal year H)(y), twenty-three and one-(|uarter million. Standard Oil and tbe American Tobacco Company. A Washington press dispatch remarks that while the is- sues before the Supreme Court alTecting the two big corpora- tions, the Standard ( )il Co. and the American Tobacco Co. are identical so far as relates to combinations in restraint of Inter- state trade and commerce, yet there is a dilTerence not gener- ally known of. The Standard ( )il Co. is charged with violating the Sher- man law alone: the American Tobacco Co. and its collaterals are charged with olTen()8 with entire suc- cess. The crop in 1909 was less because of the wet season, but the output was exceedingly fine. W. J.

Vice Presi a reason. The craving f«)r sweets i> elemental ; >o al>o is the craving for the «>iimuiation and si.»lace which is found in tobacco. Thus it i> that when c<»mbined cer- tain sweetstutVs and certain tobaccos afford a jolly alliance which goe> right h<»me to the sp.>t. Hence the «|ui«l of the jollv tar; the pipe auil plug of the s, .Idier on the march; the "after- dinner " of the rich, the >iesta of all who manage to (Hiii work and take a >moke. The tlavor in all this has made the tohacco acceptable tt> the tongue ; to deprive the user of this >olace would be cruelty unspeakable. Tm; Mnsm Kv wd MixisrKV ok a (i(M»n I'l wok. ()f course, we are only hinting at the subject of tobacco flavoring projier. i. e.. flavorings other than mere sweets. Not a few of them are secrets. .No curer is apt to reveal that which imparts delicac\. /est ami purity of taste to liis tobacco. It is the "superior flavor ' which sells it anbably many brands of "Log Cabin " chewing tobacco sold now, but we recalled the tobacco >old un«ler this name some twenty-five years ago. which took a wonderful hol»| South on the fraternity of tobacco chewers. The flavoring was rich and fruity; so delicate indeed that one forgot that he was chewing tobacco. It suggested dates, or figs, ami perhajrs they fxjssibly played a small part in its treatment. Cndoubtedly the ( iravely output is handled by artists in this line. Little is done to rob this famous leaf of its natural pungency and aroma, but there is a bewitching flavor injected into it which enables the makers to get the highest price in the market. Not every man can chew it, but he who can wants nothing else. The writer has chewn from l>oyluM)d and feels awfully wise. He speaks by the card. Drummond's Natural Leaf is a plug tobacco which is called for in every important shoj). It is a bright, cleanly looking tobacco and suggests growth in the open field with bright sun- shine to bring (uit its virtues. The taste suggests a bath in sugar syrup, and yet it is not too sweet. Our wonder has been that more plug tobacco makers have not striven for a bright golden chewing tobacco from clean leaves, freed of all excrescences and artistically flavored and golden all through. There are pr(»bably not ten chewing bran a j^'cmral cnniplaint aiiioii^' cij^s'ir nianufac- tiinrs Ikit (»f dull luiNincss.

X'isit- u)'^ hat tohacTo salesmen, like cij^^ar manufacturers, also com- plain that manufacturer^ are not willing to make any purchases at present. < >n the otiur hand, a local leaf house rcfxirts good sales lately, ewn announcing that certain mamifacturers who were heretofore Inlying only in single case lots are now taking 3, 5 and even as nmch as 10 cases of certain types of leaf. In endeavoring to get at the causes of the situation a well- known house here advanced the theory that much r»f the trouble was nr) douht i\\\v t<. the anti-saloon crusade, and that the in- crease in the cost of living had also much to do with necessarv lurlailment of spending money, and that consecjuently fewer cigars were heing bought. (*. r. ^iery has purchased the retail cigar business at Sev- enth and l-ranklin streets of Jc.hu U. Fehr cS: Son. and will do a manufacturing and retail business. Mr. Gerv came to Read- ing from ICast ( ireenville. where he had for many years been connecte«l with cigar factories and is a thoroughlv practical man in the mamifacturing business. John X. bVhr iK- Si>n have removed their oflRces to 630 I'ranklin street to give possession to Mr. Gery of their former prennses at Seventh and Franklin. John r,. Spatz. of J. G. Spatz iank Gauter is among the more fortunate manufacturers in recently booking orders for large (|uantities of goods for future delivery. This factory, which was established in 1876, was never before more prosperous. K. B. STONER E. B. Stoner, Gaining Prominence as a Tobacco Manufac- turer at Hellam, Pa. T II^RR are several establishments in York County, Pa., which have been notably successful as manufacturers of chewing and smoking tobacco. It is not always from the largest places that the most successful oper- ati(jns are launched, but in imiumerable instances, the real start of .successful manufacturers was obtained in a beginning that was made in a smaller place. We have such an illustration in the establishment of E. B. Stoner, of Hellam, York County, Pa., who only a couple of years ago coininenced the manufac- ture of chewing and smoking tobacco in his home town and on a .small .scale. Evidently he knew perfectly well what he was trying to do for success appears to have been with him from the start. Considerable time was, of course, consumed in determining upon just the right blends, and then the right eciuipment for profitable operations and both of those difficulties have been happily overcome, and Mr. Stoner is to-day in possession of a thoroughly equipped plant possessing thoroughly modern im- provements, and well calculated for their particular purpose. From a sanitary point of view there is probably not a better c(|uipped plant in the State, and the entire operations of the factory are under the constant and personal supervision of Mr. Stoner who has all his lifetime been engaged in the tobacco trade, beginning in his earlier years as a grower, he later en- gaged in the packing industry and followed that by manu- facturing. It is (juite clear from these facts that he is especially well prepared for the rather difficult undertaking which he chose, and which he has succeeded in to a remarkable extent, and now has on the market selling well and repeating steadily in orders from his distributors several brands, among which are the "Silver Cup," "Lion," "Two Toms," Barker" and "Natural Smoke". York Trade Seems Quiet. Brighter Prospects for March-Leaf Buying at a Standstill. York. I'a.. bVl). jS. LTIM )l'(;il the figures of .sale of cigar stamps during the mtMitli of IVbruary are not yet available at the Internal Kevenue ( )tfice. there is every likelili<...d that there will be shown a vast falling otY in the j)roduction of cigars during the month. ( )f course, h'ebruary is an excep- tionally short month and several holidays have al.so intervened, but there has been a dull business throughout the month which is bound to show up in the rei)ort roposition of a standard article, and the gotnls are being placed with jobbing houses through(»ut the country. II. l'\ Kohler. of Xashville. has experienced but a very short iiUerval of slack orders from his customers and who are among the largest distributing houses in the country. The salesmen representing this maiuifacturer are al.so said to be get- ting many repeat orders from their respective territories, and the two factories operated are being kei)t at work steaale of Morida t(i- baccos. H. V. ^^artin contemplates another business trip among his jobbers in the near future. The "Keen-Kutter" made by this factory has kept up remarkably well in sales notwithstanding a dull spell with most cigar manufacturers. W. M. Siers, a well-known cigar broker of Altoona, has been circulating lately among the cigar manufacturers in this .section. Mr. Siers has for twenty-six years represented certain factories in this vicinity and established an enviable record of sales for them, and which re(|uire(l practically their entire out- put . J. A. Shuhart. a cigar broker of this city, who represents several Yf)rk county factories, is now away on a trip. Even though business is dull, he reports some orders from his former customers and has succeeded in introducing several new lines of goods. * Aden Buser, a cigar box luamifacturer at Longstown, a few miles out of York is in financial difficulties. His liabilities have been variously placed at from $15,000 to Sj^.ckx). Quite a num- ber of local tradesmen and a number of New York firms are effected by this misfortune. As a result of the closing down of the cigar box factory of .\(len Buser at Longstown, box factories here are getting some new business, and in fact one factory reports that it is having about all the business it can handle with its present facilities. R. M. Granat, of Robt. M. Granat & Co., is on an extended business trip and when last heard from he was in Chicago. The writer is informed that the trip thus far has been an encour- agingly good one. At East Prospect the industry seems to be fairly good if the statement luade by cigar manufacturers can be taken as a criterion, and that is usually a very safe barometer. Additional hands we are told are being employed. r.uymg of the new crop< ,,f tobacco has not been progress- ing very raipdly and farmers in the vicinity of the I )ruck \'al- ley which pn.duces s..uie of the finest leaf grown in the cunty. -still have much of their cn.p^ uusnld and on hand. A new cigar factory was started a few days ag.. by \. W . Kohler at ^ ..e. ( )perations were c .mmence n.»w iujprMving nicelv and will no doubt be at his factory again as usual within a short time, liusiness is not very brisk, but if .Mr. Lahr sh..uld just make up his mind to give it an e.xtra impetus he is verv likely t.» ac- o.mpli-h the undertaking.

Tobacco fields are divided into three large groups, the crops of which vary in (|uantity accordingly: ( )n uplands, from S.S to 110 p(»unds per stremma (about a third •>! an acre); on low uplands. fn)m 143 to n>*S pouiuls; ami from jjo to 551 and sometimes over (>(>i pounds in\ the plain. Harvesting takes place in July or September, acconling to the li^-ality. starting from the lower leaves, which ripen first, and going graduallv t(> the top of the plant, wlure the best tobacco is ohtaineil. This work is done at dawn, after dew moistens the plant. The "dipia" and the "dipo^tou,"' or l.-wer leaves, are placed and |)acked together, while all the other vari(»us leaves are each l)laced separatel). .\fter the tobacco dries — when its leaves turn yellow — it is taken to storelutusc-s. where it is more «»r less sorted and packed into small bales. This work is done gener- ally in the interior ni the country where labor is elieap. Toward the months of June and Jul>. when the tobacco is still standing in the fields, experts from the Kegie examine and estimate the entire crop. When selling his tobacco the pro- ducer is re(|uired to inform the Kegie where a current account is kept in order to check the ((uantity shipped. 11, ^ keys of the .stores are kept by employees of the Kegie. and whenever the owner wants to shij) merchandise he informs the latter, so tli.it the tobacco may he weighed an«l a shipping permit received.

The Louisi'illc Courier-Journal of I'ebruarv i8lh has the following official facts coiiceruiiig Burley tran.sactions: "When shown the statement published in a Cincinnati paper this morning that more Hurley tobacco of the crop of 1909 had already been .s,.ld on the open markets than the Burley Tobacco Company claimed to have in its pcx)l, Miss Alice Lloyd, head of the publicity bureau of the company, made the following statement : " This is not borne out by the figures. The society has in the pool 120,000,000 pounds out of an estimated crop of 196,- 000,000 pounds. The latest reports show that the following amounts of Burley tobacco have been sold so far on the chief markets: 'Louisville, 27,000,000 pounds. 'Lexington, i9,ooo,ocx) ixjunds. " '(Including 1,500.00^3 jxainds resold.) '"Alt. Sterling, 15,000,000; Cincinnati. 3,000,000. This is a total of 62,5(X).o(X) pounds, with possibly 8,cxx),ooo or 10,000,- (X)0 from all other i)laces. So you will see that the statement that the bulk of the Burley crop has been sold outside the poo! is ridiculous.' " H t ' << '1 Ninth District Production During 1909. According to inventories filed in the Internal Revenue De- partment the production during the year of uyty^) in the Ninth District of Pennsylvania amounted to 310,213,720 cigars and 288.552 |)oun(ls of chewing and smoking tobacco. The reve- nue realized by the Government during that year on cigars amounted to .$930,641.16 and the revenue on tobacco amounted ^'> ^^^J'.V.VIS- The aggregated production of cigars re(|uired over 3i.O(x> ship|)iiig cases, and inasmuch as a large pro|)or- tion of the cigar outi)ut in now put uj) in twentieth packages, it it fair to estimate that there were re(|uired 6,204,270 cigar b< )xes. An average of twenty pounds of tobacco may be calculated to every thousand cigars, therefore, there was a consumption in this production of goods of 6,204,275 pounds of leaf to- bacco. In that district there were also manufactured 241,300 cigarettes. 34 THE TOBACCO WORLD Live News From Pacific Coast. Manila Product Injures Domestic Cigar Sales No Slot Machines Yet — Trade Visitors Come and Go — Local Trade Jottings. .S.w Francisco, Feb. 19. W*"""" IIIIJ'". a furtlur inipnivcinciit is noted in the Pacific (oast ci^ar business as a whole, the local trade is not ahnj^^thcr satisfactory, and tlicrc are some discour- •'k'hiK features elsewiuTe. San J'Vancisco retailers rcjxdt btisiiicss cfjniparativcly (juiet, and while the jobbers are inclined to appear cheerful it is obvious that their sales are not as lar^e as they had expected. The retailers here are dis- a|>i)ointed over the failure to secure certain concessions which they were confnlent would be ^(ranted, such as that of operating slot machines, while in the north, where local jobbers formerly had a large following among the saloons, the "dry" movement has greatly curtailed the volume of business. The Manila cigar business is also responsible for a material falling off in sales of domestic cigars, though tliis was not noticed very much until recently. At first all the jobbers had hopes of a profitable im- porting business, but in the final show-down there are only two or three independent jobbers or brokers who are able to get many of the Manilas direct, the others having to depend upon the firms who first secured a foothold in the Islands. ( )wing to a disj)ute over the proper valuation of Manila goods, a large lot of both cigars and cigarettes was held for some time in the local custom house, but the matter has been adjusted, the (iovermnent holding that the valuation on which internal revenue tax is based should be the wholesale price in the United States, The goods have accordingly been released on payment of the additional charges by the local consignees. .Some of the Manila importers are complaining about the exorbitant prices charged for the g(H)ds by certain jobbers and retailers, who they say will injure the market if they persist in the attempt to make abnormal profits. The local retailers are now practically compelled to reduce their prices to meet the competition of the United Cigar Stores, and it is understood that unless the jobbers follow suit some of the importers will distribute their price lists amerriman P>ros., has gone to Los Angeles after a stay of several weeks in San I'>ancisc(\ Horn & Co. suffered little delay on account of their fire of two weeks ago.

No matter how strong an electric wire may be, it is dead and useless until charged with that powerful and mysterious fluid which gives it life and vitality. Mr. Manufacturer, you will also find that it takes such a current to vitalize your business, spread your name before thousands of prosperous customers, advertise your products and open new accounts. The new TOBACCO WORLD will supply this galvanic force for you. Since the new management has taken hold of this magazine, you have seen the physical changes in its make-up, editorial treatment and general tone. The new WORLD speaks for itself in that respect. But do you know how fast the WORLD'S circulation has been growing ? We have compiled statistics from our books which show a net gain of 20 per cent, in circulation for the first five weeks in the new year. The new subscribers are scattered over every state in the Union, with New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and California in the lead. Every one of these new subscribers is either a big retailer, jobber, or manu- facturer—every one a possible customer for some live house in the tobacco trade. Do you want to reach them ? THE TOBACCO WORLD will bring you before them, help your salesmen reach them and supply that electric spark which starts business a humming. Shall we tum on the current ? Send for advertising rates.

Sumatra like Cuba has suffered heavily from drought, and the result is a crop which is to all intent> practictally bare of the much-desired line light tobacco. Such tobacco as was offered naturally was priced at high figures. The result of the conditions led buyers inevitably to sweep clean the market of all goods on hand, and the Americans were among the tirst to size up the situation anil cover themselves. The Sumatra crop assortment for 1910 shows heavy natured tobacco, very dark in color, and manu- facturers know only too well what this means in added cost of manufacture. One of the best posted Sumatra leaf men in New York stated that the conditions of the market were both serious and alarming, and that unless later inscriptions showed better tobacco, the users of Sumatra leaf not only in the United States but the world over would have a most difficult problem con- fronting them. The next inscription in Amsterdam is fixed for Friday, March i8th. New York Sumatra Market. The past week in New York has recorded the heaviest demand for Sumatra tobacco, which has been experienced in some months, and a number of excellent sales are reported. Cigar manufacturers have evidently discounted the conditions abroad, and are looking ahead as far as possible to cover them- selves in case of a shortage. At the first inscription in Amsterdam these New York firms report having purchased the following quantities: E. Rosenwald & Bro., 510 bales; G. Falk & Bro., 270 bales; S. Kossin & Sons, 157 bales, and L. P. Sutter & Bro., 65 bales. Big Cigarrette Coupon Fraud Unearthed. Two Boys Charged with Printing Spurious Certificates. Danville, Va., March 12. STUPENDOUS fraud growing out of the use of cigarette coupons, has been unearthed here by the ar- rest of John Thornton, Jr., and Lane Noell, neither of whom is scarcely 21 years of age. They conducted a small job printing office at South Boston, Va., where, it is alleged, they turned out thousands of spurious coupons imi- tating the kind given away with Piedmont cigarettes. The Piedmont coupons were redeemable at the premium department of The American Tobacco Company in prizes and had a cash value of one-half cent each. The coupons made were from plates and identically on the same paper as that used by the American Tobacco Company. When the printing office was raided thousands of pounds of this paper were found— enough to make about $25,000 worth of coupons. . f. , 1 r» 1 4 Information leading to the arrest was furnished by Robert IT. Bryan, a printer, and officers of the American Tobacco Company in New York co-operated with the authorities in bringing about the arrest. When arraigned, young Thornton pleaded guilty and was committed to the county jail to await action by the Grand Jury. Agitate National Coupon Association, Independent Manufacturers Would Distribute Premiums on Co-opeotive Basis. MUX FMFM Is being agitated by some of the inde- peiulenl cigar manuiacturers of the East looking towards the formation of a xNational Coupon Asso- ciation. Altliuugh there is a bill before Congress at present forbidding the use of premium coupons in connection with cigars or tobacco, the promoters of the new coupon or- ganization assert that they can get around this measure because tlie provisions are only against tlie enclosing of coupons or pre- iiiiunis in the package or about the package, it does not pre- vent the dealers giving coupons away separately with each pur- chase. In an interview with a Tobacco Woklu reporter, one of the manufacturers who is strongly in favor of the new associa- tion, outlined his ideas as follows: *Tt is proposed to form an association of the large inde- pendent cigar and tobacco manufacturers and dealers. These will form a co-operative company which will conduct the cou- pon business on a cost basis and not for proht. Distributing depots in all the cities from Maine to California having a pop- ulation of 10,000 or more will be established, preferably in the part of a prominent retail cigar store. Any independent dealer can purchase coupons to be re- deemed in premiums, and they would not cost him more than 3>2 per cent, to 4 per cent. These coupons would have the endorsement of the National Association and would be issued to all dealers handling independent tobacco, cigars, or cigar- ettes. It is proposed to carry a small stock of premiums in each distributing depot and this stock is to be renewed as often as necessary. Buying the premiums in large (luantities, the association will be able to (obtain them at prices far below the usual whole- sale rate and first-class gifts can be given at a iKMiiinal cost. While the idea is still in embryo, the promoters are sound- ing the various manufacturers to obtain their views on the matter and if they obtain sufficient encouragement, the associa- tion will be launched at once." I ^BSk Managers for the American Sumatra Company. r i> announced that the officers of the newly-organized American Sumatra Tobacco Company, full details of which were published in our last issue, will be as fol- lows: A.

BY FRANK CAMERON KINSEY. A. M.. M. D. The folhzinncj summary of a report compiled by Frank Cameron Kinsey, ./. M., M. I)., of Grand Rapids, Michiqan as' the result oj Ins experiments on cujars and cigarettes, presents facts zvhich should be of interest to every dealer and consumei of tobacco. Hnefly stated, the results of Dr. Kinsey's experiments established: In St— One ordinary Havana cigar contains as much crude nicotine as nine cigarettes. Second—The smoker gets 70% of the total nicotine from the smoke of the cigar as compared with SS3^% total nicotine contained in the cigarette. dd/'^/^ nnumn Third—No arsenic or other dope is used in the numufacture of cigarette papers. J'ourth—No opium alkaloids or other dope could be found in the cigarette tobacco inspected. J'lfth— There is less nicotine absorbed from a long thin-shaped cigar than a short thick shape. Hy the courtesy of the author, we are pleased to present herezath the leading points resulting from his experiments. A i^^sa LLOW nie tu preface this paper by explaining that I never was fortunate — or unfortunate enough to ac- <|uire the art of smoking in any of its forms and, therefore, that J went into the expirements which follow without any bias, prejudice or preconceived notions whatever on the subject. Having cleared my moral atmos- phere in this manner, you might ask what occasion there is, after all, for inve.>.tigating this. Precisely this: Talk to any intelligent, well-educated man — sometimes even a physician — about the contents and effects of cigarettes, and you will soon discover how little you actually know about them and what an astonishing fund of information he possesses. He will tell you that he has always understood, and believes it to be a fact, that cigarettes are drugged and that the paper contains arsenic. (1 may remark, parenthetically, that the recent anti-cigarette legislation in many of our States is based on just such argu- ments.) This man you are conversing with may tell you of hor- rible deaths in boys anil young men due to smoking cigarettes, and will present a fairly convincing picture of the evils trail- ing along after the cigarette habit, "especially from inhaling the stuff," he adds, taking a deep puff from his fat cigar and blowing it out through his nostrils. It was after just such a con- versation with just such a man, an intelligent, well-educated high school teacher, whose arguments 1 could not answer from my own knowledge, that I resolved to make some personal ex- periments along this most unj)opular line. In this research, my objects have been four: First, to find the total amount of crude nicotine contained in the to- bacco of the ordinary domestic and Havana cigar and com- pare it with the total nicotine content of the tobacco of cheap cigarettes; second, to tind the amount of crude nicotine present in the smoke of cigars and cigarettes and compare it with the total amount present in the same tobacco; third, to determine the (|uantity of opium alkaloids, or "dope" as it is called, con- tained in cheap cigarettes, if any is present, and fourth, to ex- amine the various cigarette papers for arsenic and to deter- mine the amount present, if any. In our first test we used 153 grains (9.935 G.) of to- bacco as a standard, this corresponding to the weight of nine "Turkish Trophy" cigarettes or eight and one-half "Sweet ( api^ral" cigarettes. Experiment No. i. This was on a five-cent domestic cigar whose composition, kindly furnished by the manufacture, was as follows: Wrapper and binder, J4 Connecticut, Havana seed; fdler, ^4 Pennsylvania and ^ semi-Spanish, from .Spanish seeds grown in Montgomery County, Ohio. The weight of one of these cigars was 107^ grains, conse- (juently we used about i 3-7 cigars in making up our weight oi 153 grains. The tobacco was extracted with hot water, giv- ing us nine drops or .6 G., corresponding to 5.8% of a sub- stance which had the odor of stale tobacco and responded to all the tests for nicotine. This crude nicotine might have been purified by re-distillation, but, for our purposes of comparison, it was sufficiently pure. Nevertheless we tested this product for toxicity on animals, and found that four drops placed on the tongue of a six-pound tomcat killed the animal in 90 seconds. From this experiment, we roughly estimated that the nicotine obtained was about 50% pure. Experiment No. 2. One hundred and fifty-three grains of tobacco from "Sweet Caporal" cigarettes, weighing 18 grains apiece, was extracted in the same manner as in Experi- ment No. I. This cigarette is stated by the manufacturers to be made from Virginia and Turkish tobacco, which is a mix- ture with a high nicotine content. Our tests showed 17 drops of crude nicotine were contained in the 83^2 cigarettes making up this weight, or two drops to each cigarette, giving about 11% oi crude nicotine. Experiment No. 3. Two small five-cent cigars of "pure Havana" were next tested, weighing 54^^ grains apiece or 109 grains together. These were found to contain 18 drops of crude nicotine or 9 drops to each cigar. This experiment was repeated with the same result. From the high nicotine con- tent and the low selling price, one might be led to believe that these "Havana" cigars originally came from Virginia. Experiment No. 4. The same weight (109 gr.) of the tobacco from "Turkish Trophy" cigarettes was then ex- tracted and yielded only nine drops of crude nicotine. As one "Turkish Trophy" cigarette weighs 17 grains, each cigarette contained only one drop of nicotine. Consequently, one of the little "Flavana" cigars tested in our third experiment yielded as much crude nicotine as nine of the "Turkish Trophy" cigarettes. Testing the Nicotine in Smoke. In almost all work on tobacco smoke, where the method of extraction has been described, the tobacco in weighed quan- tity is burned, the total smoke collected and the nicotine ex- tracted. It is very evident that this method does not give the amount of nicotine actually taken into the mouth. When a man smokes a cigar or cigarette, much of the nicotine is volatil- ized and passes off in smoke at the point of combustion. Ob- viously then, in order to determine how much nicotine a man actually gets as he smokes, the smoke must be collected from what the young experimenter on wasps called "the business end" of the cigar or cigarette. For this purpose we devised a simple apparatus con- THE TOBACCO WORLD II structed like a w-ater pipe, with a wide-mouthed bottle holding a rubber cork through which passed two glass tubes, one nm- ning to the bottom of the bottle and the other only through the cork. The long tube was bent at right angles outside and llattcned, serving as a mouthpiece. In using this apparatus, the bottle was two-thirds filled with hot water, the cigar or cigarette was placed in the holder, lighted and smoked from the stem, the smoke passing up through the water and losing most of its nicotine there and on the glass tubes. Some nicotine still came over in the smoke, so the saliva was collected, together with the washings from the tubes, and distilled along with the water from the bottle, which was changed as often as it became saturated with nicotine. r^xperiment No. 5. One small "Havana" cigar, weighing 543/2 grains, was smoked in the apparatus, and the hot water and saliva distilled and extracted as before. The result was 7 drops of crude nicotine as compared with the total of 9 drops contained in the cigar. Therefore, a man gets 77% of the total nicotine content from the smoke of this cigar. The ash, to- gether with the unsmoked stub, weighed i5>^ grains. As the original weight of the cigar was 54^^ grains, the combustion products must have weighed 39 grains. Experiment No. 6. When 54>4 grains of "Turkish Trophy" tobacco, represented by 3^ cigarettes, were smoked in the apparatus, only 2V2 drops of nicotine could be re- covered. Thus only 55K'% of the total nicotine present in the cigarette came over in the smoke, although 'jy% of that pres- ent in the cigar was recovered. This confirms the recent ob- servations of W. R. Lee in the Pharmacological Laboratory of Cambridge University. He burned equal amounts of a Vir- ginia cigarette and a INIanilla cigar and found that, although the Virginia tobacco in the cigarette contained nearly twice as much nicotine as the tobacco in the cigar, yet the smoke of the cigar was twice as toxic as that of the cigarette. He explains this as follows: During the combustion of ordinary smoking, there is an area immediately behind the point of combustion in which the water and other volatile contents of the tobacco condense. The hot gases passing through this area volatilize the nicotine. The Effect of Different Shaped Cigars. The smaller the area of combustion, the more complete it is and the less likely is the smoke to contain volatile toxic sub- stances. "Hence," he says, "a cigarette or a slender cigar will yield fewer of these products than a thick cigar, and many smokers can testify that a thick 'fat' cigar has much more ef- fect than a long, slender cigar of similar tobacco." Whatever the explanation, it is certainly true that less nicotine comes over in the smoke of cigarettes than in that of an equal weight of cigars containing the same amount of nicotine. Experiment No. 7. This was for the purpose of deter- mining the presence, or absence, of opium derivatives, or "dope" in the tobacco of cigarettes. "Sweet Caporal" and "Turkish Trophy" cigarettes were extracted with hot water and tested with the ordinary sulphuric acid plus cane sugar and with the nitric acid tests. No traces of opium derivatives could be found, nor, to tell the truth, did I expect to find any, although there is an unshaken and unshakable belief, even among medical men, that a philanthropic and benignant Santa Glaus called the Tobacco Trust is buying expensive opiates to mix with cheap cigarettes. No Arsenic in Cigarette Papers. Experiment No. 8. This was to determine the presence, or absence, of arsenic in cigarette papers. After the number of chemists who have investigated this subject, I am almost ashamed to report any further work along this line, but the frequency with which one still hears arsenic mentioned as one of the deadly components of cigarette paper shows that one can scarcely give too much publicity to the truth regarding this matter. The La Croix Fils rice paper, which comes in red books, was macerated in hot water and the solution tsetcd for (I'luitd by rn a i^ire.itVxtrtit tlisplu «il x\\f baniK-e tbf miiviTsal rtilf in fa» lurifs.

Application of the R. A. Patterson Tobacco Company for a preliminarv injunction to restrain Bendixen r<.bacco Com- pany, of this' city, has been denied by Judge Ray of the United States Circuit Court, The plaintiffs sought to prevent the Bendixen Company from using a brand trade-mark similar to the "Tuxedo" brand of the Patterson Co. The Court gave its opinion that the injunction was un- necessary, as the merits of the case would be determined when the case came to trial. The Patterson concern since tS88 has been using the "Tuxedo" brant through fair treatment — then it will not be found so very difficult to make sales to the majority, yet there is a class that may rcc|uire special treat- ment. Study Human Nature. There are always some customers in the cigar as well as other stores who are apparently different and hold themselves aloof, and view with suspicion both the attendant and the goods which they desire to purchase. Again, persons of extreme temperaments are found — some nervous, some fastidious, some critical and some cranky. Oth- ers are kind and more genial and who really make it a pleasure to be wailed upon. This is an instance in which the same rule and manner will not apply to all alike, for we cannot approach all in the same manner, but each one must be met and handled in the way cal- culated best to imi>ress them. In order to be successful as a salesman one must be able, therefore, to read human nature, and then be able to adapt ourselves to the different moods and temperaments of the customers we have occasion to handle.

This com- pany not only have a factory at Ciales, but are growers and packers of Porto Rican leaf tobacco. Ramon Novoa, their Western representative, who recently returned from a tour of the West, going out as far as Kansas City, reports a very suc- cessful trip and states their factory is running to its full ca- pacity. A. Rodriguez & Co., 14O Duane street, will remove about April 15th to more commodious (piarters at iiS Pearl street. F. Garcia, of V.

E. ^L Schwarz & Co. are moving into their new factorv- at 29-35 Fast Fnd avenue. New York. The business enjoyed by thiV house cm their "Charter" and other standard brands has necessitated larger manufacturing facilities. J. D. Manton, of Manton-Govem Co., who recently re- turned from Porto Rico, left New York again on March Qth for an extended trip through the Middle West. He will visit all the principal cities going out as far as St. Louis, and making a second call at Chicago on his way back. He will be away from two to three weeks as occasion demands. Heads of the firm of E. Rosenwald & Bro. are somewhat scattered these days. Nathan Bijur is in Europe on his wed- ding trip, B. Neuberger is in Australia, and A. Bijur is in Wis- consin lo«»kiiig after the packing there. Jackson H.

It will come as an agreeable surprise to the manufactunng industry, because it was believed all during the month that the month must show a decrease. Strike Has Slight Effect on Factories. Philadelphia cigar manufacturers were, upon the whole, fortunate that they were so little affected by the general lab..r strike In only a few instances was there a walkout of sym- pathetic strikers, and at last reports many of these were re- turning to their work. In fact, some of the largest factories were not affected at all, and have their usual forces at work- It is believed that within a very short time the condition> wdl again be entirely normal. On behalf of the Philadelphia Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade Mr Julius Vetterlein, president of the local body, at- tended a meeting of the United Business Men's League on bViday afternoon last, and reports that he was nuich pleased with the opinions expressed by those who attended. He teels convinced that there arc only good motives behmreme Court had decided the Tobacco Trust case and that somebody had leaked. The "dope" decision, as rendered by the tipsters, is 6 to 2 in favor of the American Tobacco Co. We have not the slightest idea that anybcKly knows what this decision is, but there are many who believe it will be on conservative lines and that stocks will not be affected thereby. 22 THE TOBACCO WORLD T 'J'ampa, J'la., Alarcli 12.

Their ujn"on promptly took the matter up. calling attention to their scale on this shape, and ordering the men to stop making that size.

Pando Company, who had no desire to cut wages on their emj)loyees and were amenable to being "shown". There have been several similar incidents, where the com- mittee in charge of such matters from the Manufacturers' As- sociation, whose interests and rulings are guarded over by I 'resident l-lnrique ]\'ndas. of the Pendas & .Alvarez house, have heard both sides in the matter and ruled in an equitable and satisfactory manner to all parties. As a result, labor con- . Wall, sitting in chancery, has denied the ap- plication for an injunction to restrain the P.riskol Cigar Com- pany from using the brand, "I*. H.

Splendid Hotels and Public Buildings Add Vitality to Trade — Big Demand for Stogies and Five-Centers. Chicago, .March 0. HFTllFR it be from the bitter cold weather and need of comfort and consolation incident thereto, there has been an enormous trade done in all branches of to- bacco during the winter and this early spring season in Chicago. Vou know we have had two or tliree magnificent hotels to go up this winter, and it is an axiom that wherever there is luxury and style there is the curl and aroma of tobacco smoke. Men think and smoke tobacco, as the old poet bade us to do in your last issue, and then they smoke and chew when they are not thinking, so that the tobacco raisers get them both going and coming. There has been a big demand for 5-cent goods all winter here, as there has been for Pittsburg stogies, and stogies from other points. Detroit has felt Chicago's impulse this winter, and has sold l»)ts of stutf here. A number of busy cigar stores and stands have been opened, with a few of these offering inducements for box buyers, and are well worth being rated as jobbers and wholesalers. All the hotel .stands in the city worth mentioning are in good shai)e, though the consumer does scjueal at the fancy prices some show cases display. 1 losmer & Co, have imparted new life to their trade by ap- l)ointing L, H. Baker manager of their entire tobacco depart- ment. Mr. Baker is going over their line, and has already de- cided adding two or three makes in addition to those he will retain. The official schedule of Mr. T. Murdock's estate (formerly of Reid, M unlock & Company) shows him to have been a very wealthy man, his assets running up to between J?4,ooo,ooo and ^,5,000,000. Mr. Henry Taussig, returning from the South, had some- thing interesting to say of the Sumatra Tobacco Company, which is taking up some valuable lands in South Georgia and North Florida. Mr. Taussig found evidence South that good tobacco lands could be had in the section mentioned, and the hopes of the promoters are buoyant for a far-reaching industry. Trade was somewhat surprised to learn that Engelman, of St. Paul, was making a test of the Chicago market. He has opened an office at 34 Wabash avenue. No. 622 West Randolph street is now the habitat of a man- ufacturing corporation known as La Ventura Cigar Company. Secretary Charles Liebovitz states that they will have several brands of cigars which will be heard from, in sizes adapted to popular needs. The registration books of the Auditormm, La Salle, Palmer House and other leading houses disclose the names of a big number of cigar and tobacco salesmen within the past 30 (lays. A big State street dealer says that The Tobacco World m its new dress is a specimen of Eastern yellow journalism, but he wants more of it, and I enclose his subscription herewith. Those Filipino cigars have been obtruding themselves in the Chicago market lately, and one dealer thinks the best way to get rid of them is either to smoke them up or smoke them out, both of which methods I find are pursued here. I learn that a brand of bright golden chewing plug is to be marketed shortly by an independent concern, claiming a new process and most delicate flavoring. A name has been asked for from a number of experts in nomenclature. Good news reaches here concerning Ohio and other to- bacco centers of the Central West. The meeting at Dayton re- cently seemed to have had a good effect. Iroquois. IOBITV^A.R.>^l At the age of 70 years ICmanuel P.latt died recently at his home, njii) Berks street, Philadelphia. T'or more than 40 year^- Mr. lUatt was engaged in the cigar business, and for the last ten years had been a resident of this city, .\fter having spent 30 years in the trade in Linciimati, he came to this city and formed a partnership with the late Isadore Liberman. under the firm name of 1. Liberman ^: Co., but after several years of busi- ness the firm dissolved. In the meantime his two sons, .Alfred and Samuel iilatt, established a retail cigar stand at Ct>lumbia avenue and Sydenham street, and after Mr. P.latt's retirement from the firm of Liberman & C«)., he joined his sons in busi- ness. The retail store was solurd I'uilding. at Ninth and Chest- nut streets. The business will be continued. John McTntyre Stewart, one of lialtimore's pioneer cigar and tobacco merchants, died at his home in that city .March 2nd, at the age of (vS.

It is supi>osed that, carried by a station, he left the train and was run down while walking back.

Ilenrv ( )ttenl)erg. representing the A. F. Hostetter Cigar Manufacturing Company, Hanover, Pa., was also going the rounds this week with a nice line of cigar samples. J I. |. llofYman is now representing the Turco-American Tobacco Company, X. ^'.. here, whose leaders are the "Omega" and "Astron" brands of Turkish cigarettes. Mr. Hofl'man is a hustler from the word g^o and ought to improve the business done in this locality by his concern. Louis .\ltschuler, manager of the Elm Smoker cigar fac- tory on Kim street, was recently married. This factory has been very busy during the slack season, as there is an increas- ing demand in the traeen in the pipe business in Nurnberg as long as memory recalleth and is undoubtedly one of the oldest con- cerns in the world, being, incidentally, pioneers in the produc- tion of brier i)ipes. Mr. Eckert claims that the English Bull Dog and briar pijK's did not originate in Great Britain, but were of French creation, and that it was only in recent years that the Britisher coinmencetl to make his pipes at home and quit importing tliem from France and Germany. He called partic- ular attention to the fact that the long-stemmed pipes with which Teutons have been for so many years indissolubly con- nected, were going out of favor in Germany, and that the Ger- mans are to-day more largely using short-stemmed briars than any other variety. It is odd to note that most of the briar r(X)t which is util- ized in the production of pipes to-day is imported from the island of Corsica. C)riginally the root came from the Pyrenees mountains. The supply in that section, however, seems to have been largelv curtailed and better results were found to be ob- tained from the Corsican supply. The manufacture of briar pipes with the amber stem is a laborious process, and it takes fully an hour to turn out one of the completed articles, though, of course, the modern manufacturers are making them to-day in large rpiantities at the same time. Mr. Eckert said that the supply of amber is becoming more and more limited and that the lumps which are found are smaller and smaller each year ; the cigarette holder of pure, solid amber to-day commanding in the market twice the price that it did ten or fifteen years ago. In the consumption of ])ipes the German manufacturer rates the United States as the third market of the world. He states Great Britain is the larg- est market according to population and the demand in South Africa is second. The Gennan consumption of pipes, Mr. Eck- ert says, has been largely augmented during the past year owing to the tariff of 15 per cent, which was placed on the importation of cigars. Mr. Eckert will reipain in the United States for probably six weeks, and during that time will visit the leading trade centres of the country. New Enterprises and Improvements. The Batesburg (S. C.)

American Cigar Company Brings Suit Against Ohio Firm of Same Name. CiiNCJNN.Mi, O., March 11. TTORNEV SIDNEY G. STRIKER, representing the American Cigar Company of New Jersey, last week filed a bill in e(iuity in the United States Circuit Court, Covington, Ky., in which the court was asked to issue an injunction against the further conduct of a mail order busi- ness operated by George A. Shaw and his wife, iilanche 1. Shaw, in Cincinnati, under the name of the American Cigar Company. The New Jersey corporation, which mauutactures about 90 per cent, of the cigars in America, claims that incal- culable damage has been done to its business and reputation be- cause the Cincinnati concern had misled the public into the belief that they were doing business with the big corporation. The suit came as the result of many complaints to the Ameri- can Cigar Company by dealers from all parts of the country who had answered advertisements, offering large salaries to salesmen. The workings of the firm had also been brought to the notice of the Mayor and Chief of Police of Cincinnati. The petition states that the scheme employed by Shaw was a grossly fraudulent one. Those who answered the advertise- ments for salesmen and resident managers were obliged to deposit $0 for samples. These samples consisted of 12 boxes, each containing a dozen cigars. The understanding was that the i^6 would be refunded as soon as the commissions amounted to i^20. There was a "joker" in the contract, however, which prc»vided that if three cigars had been taken from a box, the samples could not be redeemed. As it would be impossible to make a sale without giving away some of the cigars, there was little chance for the salesman to redeem his deposit. Tobacco experts who examined the samples fixed their value at about Isj.Go. Judge Cochran took the matter under advisement and a preliminary hearing of the case will be given in the near fu- ture. The work of remodeling the store at the southwest corner of I'ifth and Walnut streets, which is to be occupied by one of the United Cigar stores, is well under way. The new store will probably be in operation next week. Oscar H. Gassman has been in Knoxville, Tenn., negotiat- ing for the purchase of a large retail cigar store there. It is .said that Mr. Gassman is acting for an Eastern concern which will conduct the business if he should be successful in putting through the deal. The factory of W. W. Bozman, which is to be operated in connection with the store on Walnut street, was opened last week. Clear Havana goods will be manufactured exclusively. The names of the brands have as yet not been announced. A new small cigar, "Peaches and Cream," has been placed on the market by Henry Straus. It is made up in packages of 6 for 10 cents and has been greeted favorably by Queen City smokers. Mr. Straus has just left town for a short vacation trip to Hot Springs. Sam. Morehead, who was formerly with the American Tobacco Company, was in town for a few days last week. He visited a number of his friends in the trade and stated that he may re-enter the tobacco business. J. H. Braman has joined the selling forces of the J. S. Hill Company. Sam. Straus, of Straus Bros, and Company, returned last week from a business trip to Havana. As compared with February, 1909, the United States revenue report for the First District of Ohio for the month just passed shows a decrease in all lines of manufactured to- bacco. The internal revenue collections from all sources dur- ing the past month amounted to $220,018.54, as compared with .';^J3(>,99<;.44 for the same month la>t \ear. This is a decrease of ."^ 1 o.9^'o.90, or about 7 per cent. The following tables show in- teresting coinparisuiis : IHk Month t>K ln«Kr.\kv. I'cb., lyl(». Jan., lyio. I'Vb.. !»>»». Cigars.

Not only did both dark and liurley t»»bacco .sell at new high records, but the highest average lor a crop uf any size for this seasiui was made.

Cuba. THE TOBACCO WORLD Habana, Cuba, March 19th, 1910. lUSIXESS in our leaf market has shown a further re- in (grade niuveniciit, which, huwever, is not abnormal at tiiis jjcriud of the year, as the season is nearing its end, and from now until the new crop should appear there is usually a lessened demand from all parts of the world. Stocks in first hamls have decreased and still there are enough V egas of V uelta Abajo and Remedios for sale, which a careful and discriminating buyer could acquire upon advantageous terms. Ui I'artido there is next to nothing left in our mar- ket, but some lots of Semi-\'uelto might prove acceptable pur- chases. Most of our Spanish leaf dealers are not speculators and will part with tlieir holdings with a slight margin of profit, even if tbe present outlook for the coming crop should warrant a stiffening ol their asking prices. The task of a prophet is usually a very ungrateful one. J knee the best policy seems to be not to speak too positively about Coming events, as there is always the unknown, unex- pected factor to turn up. Now just this state of affairs holds true about the coming crop, the general opinion here is, that the same has been injured severely by the drought and some high winds, therefore it should be shorter in quantity, and for the most part unsuitable hi (juality, owing to its retarded planting.

Some special types of leaf have been somewhat in demand, but purchases have been made sparingly. The buying movement has seemingly ceased, for the present. I'litil recently. rei)resentatives of the American Cigar Company had been operating in the county to some extent but they have also withdrawn from the field. (Jiiite an important tobacco litigation came up in the ("••mm" 111 JMeas Court of this county, several days ago. It was an action brought by V. S. luiines. a leaf tobacco man of janesville. Wisconsin, against S. L. Johns, a leaf packer and dealer of Hanover, Pa., and who also has a warehouse in this city. In fact there were two suits, the one having been brought against Mr. Johns individually, and the other against Mr. Johns and his wife, as en(l(>rser on certain notes. The plain- li/T claimed that he was the holder of six notes aggregating Si 1,394.50: two of the notes being signed by Mr. Johns and endorsed by Mrs. Johns, and four of the notes signed by S. L. Johns alone. .Mr. Johns in his defense claimed that the notes in (|uestion were given to Mr. P.aines to enable him to raise moiuy to |)ay for tobacco which he was to buy and which .Mr. Johns haton. One of the most clisastrous fires in Red Lion for many years, occurred on Simday night last, when the establishment of Miller IVos. mamifacturers of cigar boxes and cigar box lumber, was destroyed, entailing a loss estimated at $50,000. The fire was discovered about 1 T o'clock that night and although the local fire department responde;.-ir Box I'linil of Millei Bros., Riestroyed by Fire. The Houston (Ala.) Cigar Co. was incorporated to do a cigar manufacturing business by J. C. Moore, John Estine, J. K. McCarty. Changes in Milwaukee Firms. Good Business Reported in Wholesale and Retail Circles. MiLW.\UKti:, \\ ISC, March ist, 1910. NUMBER of important changes have taken place here during the past week. Eugene Vahr, former trea.surer of the Vahr and Lange Drug Co., whole- sale druggists and cigar jobbers, has disposed of his interests in the business owing to pt)or health autl Max Rosenthal of Wauwautosa becomes an equal stockholder with E. T. \ahr. Mr. Rosenthal has been elected treasurer of the company. C. C. Randolph, senior member of Randolph Brothers, who operate the Randolph and Charlotte Hotels on Tl"rd ssreet, has acquired the lease to the Schlitz Hotel, one of this cities hosteleries and the famous Schlitz i*alm Ganlen. The Louis Kindling Co., manufacturers of the Alcazar cigar, with a factory in the Second W ard Bank Building, have leased the four story building at 34«-35<^ Broadway which they will use for a factory, a storeroom and otfice, after May 1st. The company will increase its force of cigarmakers. The Caswell Supply Co., who conduct the cigar stand in the Caswell Building lobby, sold out to Harry Ziegler proprietor of the Wells' Building lobby stand. A new firm will shortly open under the name of the Milwaukee Cigar Co., 187 Third street. J. Drexler and B. Jenniches are the owners. A number of well known brands will be carried and the new firm has good prospects. Pay Lewis & Brothers are doing well. The **E1 Sidelo" of Samuel Davis and Co., is being featured at the Wells' Building Store. George Marsh, who has been clerk m this store for some time, resigned to engage in advertising novelty business and his place is being filled by Harry Conley at one time with Lederer, later with Leo Abraham at Green Bay, Wise. The I'abst Building Store is featuring the '•Savarona" and the "El Sidelo Resago". The "•Savarona" display has views of the factories and al>o a number of photographs of the growing plant. Max Schierer, of the wholesale dei)artment »)l hay Lewis and Brothers, died of typhoid fever after a brief illnos. Leo Abraham and Co., continue to enjoy a good business. The "Charter cigar of K. .\l. .^chwarz and Co.. i> being featured at all the stores. Hugh Sharp, the popular foimer manager of the Caswell Supply Co., ha> ass(>ciated him-elf with the Caswell Block Store, of this firm. lli> many frieiuls are pleased to .see him continue in the same business. Allanson reports a good business. The "El Sidelo" is also being featured here. Mr. Eraederich, representing Samuel Davis and Co., was a recent visit«)r in this market. The wholesale business continues g(Kxl. Arocena and King B., Eemandez and Bros, and many of the smaller manu- facturers report good sales. At Madison, Wise, Joseph Mennes has purchased the interest of his partner in the Madison Cigar Co. H. W. Schweinen, proprietcjr of the Pnidger Cigar Co., sold out to W. G Schulcamp. At Monticello, Wise, R. S. Lee has engaged in the manufacture of cigars and Charles Tritten has opened a factory at Kaukauna. The Gays Mills Warehouse Association, dealers in leaf tobacco, incorporated, capital $6,000. Albert Weeks, O. A. Helgreson, James Campbell and others are the incorporators. A. L. Sylvester of the American Cigar Co. New York, was a recent visit(jr in the Edgerton market. Mr. liondy, of P.ondy and Lederer, New York, was in the market for a short stay inspecting a packing of the new crop for his firm. Halverson & Bitter sold their frame warehouse at Stough- ton to the Stoughton Warehouse Association, composed of members of the American Society of Equity. Receiving is now going on at most of the warehouses. Growers seem more willing to let go of their holdings at prevailing prices. At Stoughton over six carloads were re- ceived in one day recently. Madison warehouses are operating with a force of fully eight hundred hands. 32 THE TOBACCO WORLD Reading Factories are Quiet. Few arc Busy, Others are Working with Short Forces.

The factory of Utlo lu.^enlohr and Bros, is evidently well Idled with orders and the linn contemplates the erection of a lour story addition to the building. A full force of cigar makers are employed now, and additional seating room is desired. J he ileck Cigar Co. is at present among the busiest factories here, and some heavy mail orders are C(jming in. I loth Messrs. Charles Meek, the head of the firm, and Daniel i'leck, who represent the lirm in the Middle W est, are sending in orders steadily. John C Spat/, of J. d. .Spatz and Co., returned last week from an e.\tende. 1 )ibert is now ollered for rent. Although it is rather (juiet with cigar manufacturers at present, there are still some who have confidence in the future and are making preparations for a more active business. Among these is VV. W. Stewart & Sons, who recently bought a building at Green and Cedar streets, which is now being thoroughly reconstructed for their use. They hope to be able to get possession of it on April ist. Charles Stewart of this firm contemplates a trip through the coal regions during the early part of next week. The Kagic Cigar Co., at Xewmanstown, is taking a new factory building in that place, as the business has outgrown the present <|uarters. A. Thalheimer Manufacturing Co.. report that several of their departments have been kept steaio than he had ever done before. City Grown Tobacco. Historic old Richmond, Va., is boasting just now of to- bacco grown at 38th and V streets. It is sun cured and is the first tobacco to have been grown within the corporate limits of Kichmond in about fifty years. Andrew C. Burke, who has thus proved that tobacco will flourish amidst brick and mortar, is an engineer on the C. & O. R. R. S Trade Not Very Brisk in Detroit. Factories Busy But Retail Shops Report Slump in Business. Di:iK(jiT, Mich., March 12, 1910. ri\l.\(l fever has evidently affected the cigar and tobacco trades in Detroit. March has been mild- tlui^ far and forecasts are there will be continued warm weather through the month. Because of this, dealers arc not as busy as is usual for them at this time in the )ear. The retail demand seems most affected, merchants in various parts of the city, complaining about the present and holding out small hopes for a brisk future trade. The asser- tions of prohibitionists is causing some worry to manufacturers and wholesalers, but it is not generally believed the trade will be seriously hampered even in the event of the •*drys" carrying a majority of the counties in dispute, in the spring elections. Cigar factories in various parts of the city and State are running full, but this is a usual occurrence for this time in the )ear and ilealers are finding in it no reason for elation. Whole- salers rei)ort an average trade. One redeeming feature is that money is easy. Adolpli Wolgast, lightweight champion of the world by reason of his victory over ••Battling" Nelson, was a cigarmaker. Wolgast's parents hve in Cadillac on a farm purchased by the ••champion" from purses snared in his early ring battles. The father of the tighter was a cigarmaker, but, like many others, he did not save his money while in the trade and when he became to(» old for active work he had hard work making ends meet until his son and pride fohowed the pugilistic course. \\ olgast says the cigarmaking trade has lost its charms, so far as he is concerned. Local newspapers are giving prominence to the fact that in one Detroit cigar factory, where 1,700 girls are employed, fire ilrills are unknown. Jn explaining the apparent negligence of the management one official says there is not a system which works successfully and until such a plan is worked out fire drills will continue to be unknown in the factory. The building and stock of the Adler Cigar Co., in Bay City, was damaged by tire, recently. The loss is covered by insurance. The Sccjtten-Dillon Co., in Detroit, is making minor changes and improvements in its factory. The San 1 elmo Co., has practically abandoned plans for starting a branch factory in Wyandotte, a Detroit river suburb. The company was offered an attractive proposition to locate in the city but after an experiment was unable to secure sufficient help. William Cupj), an Ann Arbor cigarmaker, was arrested, recently, charged with assault and battery. It was alleged he threatened to kill his wife. Rats and matches brought into conjunction caused a fire which destroyed (Jwen Schoolcraft's cigar factory and store in Traverse City, recently, causing a loss placed at $4,000. It is ])artly covered by insurance. It is quite remarkable how anxious the various States in this republic arc to have their soil known as suited to tobacco culture. Florida just now is offering her countless acres for •'Sumatra" stock and New Hampshire lifts her rugged head and says that she can grow a weed which will make the smoker hold up his foot as he indulges in it. The Concord Monitor naively admits, however, that New Hampshire manufactures more than she raises and that she consumes many times as much as both together. The Erwin H. Nadel Co. was incorporated at Wilson, N. C, to manufacture cigarettes. F^our machines will be put in, each of which will have a daily capacity of 125,000 cigar- ettes. THE TOBACCO WORLD 33 Snuff Boxes in the Senate. ■— ^IW'O old snuff boxes, which, it seems, have been pre- 1 served in the U. S. Senate Chamber since the days gr^lj of Daniel Webster, made trouble recently when it ^^^ was ])roposed to replace them with new snuff boxes. In the days when Thomas Jefferson used to ride up from Monticello and hitch his horse to the White House fence, snuff dipping was very common. Quite often the users were care- less in their methods and patches of snuff adorned the upper lips and well nigh obstructed the nasal passages. Within forty years the old habit of sniffing snuff at the nose has quite died out in this country, at least visibly, whatever may be the secret consumption.' The immense cjuantity made and the big profits divided by the snuff companies implies a wide use of snuff, but its use by th edandy in costly snuff boxes is obsolete. In the Southwest an increased consumption is said to be apparent. . The St. Louis Republic has the following to say on this subject: Recognized as a Prophylactic. The medicinal properties of snuff are said to be respon- sible for its reappearance. Non-professional medicos say it is a recognized prophylactic for catarrh in the winter season, hay fever in the summer season, and mixed with other nos- trums, it is said to be a valuable remedy for cold in the head at any time. Like the official remedy for snake bite, it seems to be a convenient article to have on hand all the time. The approach of the hay-fever season produces an in- creased demand for snuff. Users say that one ought to begin using it several weeks before an attack of hay-fever is ex- pected as the membranes of the nose and throat should be- come impregnated with the snuff to ward off the attack. They do not promise immunity from the disease, but declare that its malignity is greatly lessened by the use of the weed. It is said to be valuable for clearing the nostrils in cases of catarrh, and, when mixed with quinine, becomes a remedy for severe colds in the head. Those who have tried the latter, however, advise extreme caution to prevent the mixture from L^etting into the mouth and throat, as the two ingredients will impart a taste that cannot be described in the English language. Figures Not to be Sneezed At. F anybody is sneezing contemptuously at the American Snuff Co., they should (luit forthwith and take a pinch themselves if they can get the stock low enough. As proof, we have only to refer to the fact that the American Snuff Co. showed a net income of over $4,ooo.o(X) for 1909. For the year ending December 31, 1909, the income account of this company is given as follows: Net earnings $4,203,653 $ ^29,334 Preferred dividend 720,000 Net for common 3A^3^^^S^ Common dividend 2,200,340. Balance ^'Zl'^^^ Sur. res. working capital ^ '^^?

Wm. N. Fisher, millionaire cigar maker of 623 Comnion- wealth Ave., Boston, was married r,uite recently toJVljss Eliza- beth G. Ranney. The wedding was a quiet one and Mr. Fisher has since received many congratulations. T Qualities of Tobacco Extract. OBACCO extract has been used in Germany for some years, either for re-e.xportation as sheep ilip or for domestic use as an ingredient in the preparation of certain chewing t(.)baccos. h'xported to Argentina, South Africa and Australia it is used as sheep dip. Lately it has been learned that an extract having not less than io7o of nicotine is a remarkable insect destroyer. Some of the tobacco extract sent to the large nursery ganlens in Halslenbad, Pinneberg and elsewhere is saiil to destroy pest life with splendid results. A solution of from i to 400 parts of water sprinkled over plants and even on delicate blossoms, chrysan- themums, &c., destroy insect pests and the tlowers lost none of their brilHancy. The outlet of tobacco extract for such purposes suggests an enormous market for the tobacco plant and shows more and more the wonderful sanitary and preventive qualities at- tached to the weed. Ohio Leaf Packers Banquet. Members of the Ohio Leaf Tobacco Packers' Association banqueted at the Phillips House, Cincinnati, Feb. 25th. Walter M. Brenner presided and Judge Roland \V. Baggott made a speech which tickled the growers immensely. Wilbur Kennebacco gn.wn in the Miami region. He also said that he was against introducing the Burley grades in Ohio because the best domestic filler known grows there. He deprecated any mixing with the Buriey ideas and was proud of the Ohio grades. As was remarked in our last issue and as is being remarked by the whole American press, seemingly, last year was a billion dollar year in tobacco and manufactures of tobacco; that is to say a billion dollars worth of weed passed in and out of our ports. , . . Eben little Porto Rico sent in here in 1909 cigars and tobacco worth 5)4 millions of dollars. We sent out over $41,000,000 worth to various parts of the worid. America went to war with England on account of the Stamp Act What will the poor little PhilliiM)UH> Islands do if her cigar label is stamped out of existence by Uncle Sam? 34 THE TOBACCO WORLD \m In the Baltimore Market. Cigar Manufacturers Fighting Sale of Goods by Peddlers. Baltimore, AId., March 7th. \\ . fJ.XJZ ik CO., S. Ciiarlcb street, had a very good January trade and report February some better in tile leaf market. Sunie say that busines is quiet, but it has been very well witli them. Many of the trade are interested in the new I'enn^ylvania njuS and the 1908 Zim- mer and Si>anish. All the new lillers are higher than the old and selling freely. The American Tobacco Co. have leased frum the Cantun Co. the old furniture factc^ry on Lakewood avenue near Hud- son street. It will be used a?, one <»f the manufactories of the company in addition to the plants already in existence. 'Ihe Colindo Cigar Co., M. lingleman, proprietor, who were burned out at 112 S. Eden street, are now established in new (juarters at 709 E. Lombard street. A full force of nine- teen hands are at work and more will be put on. They are put- ting out 120,000 cigars a month. Their brands are Honest Dave, Silencia and Tolindo. 'ihey report business as picking up and one of their salesmen will take in the Western territory. L. Michaelson & iJro., cigar manufacturers, have moved their factory, warehouse and salesrooms from 3 South llolliday street to South and I'ratt streets, a 4-story building, where the lactory ha.^ been enlarged and the output is increasing daily. Tlie La Li.sa cigars especially will show a big increase in the out- put this year. A store has als(j been opened on the ground tloor. L. Michaelson, of the linn, has just returned from a Southern trip and says business exceeded his expectations and cigars are selling readily. J. L. Aubrey & Co., 508 E. Lombard street, leaf tobacco jobbers, report a very moderate business. Elliott, CJtteidieimer & hllliott, say their factory is work- ing on full force and have all they can do to get out orders. They are pushing the sale of Eagle Chief, a 5-cent cigar, which is having a big success. This brand is selling particularly well through the West. An obnoxious feature of the trade here which the cigar manufacturers are lighting, is that a number of men are going around the city from ot'tice to office and house to house, selling cigars by the box. i'hat is hurting the store trade considerably, also. These men have no rent to pay or other expenses and hurt the legitimate cigar trade. This is carried on here more than in any other city in the country. M. Kemjjer & Sons, of East Lombard street, jobbing leaf tobacco, say their pack of 1908 Pennsylvania is moving along nicely and trade is opening up fairly good. Have a good pack at Lewisburg, Ohi(^ and Mountville, Pa., the prices are normal and no changes, the people will not pay a higher price. The following new salesmen have been put on: W. D. Sabin. for iVnnsylvania and New York State; J. D. Carroll goes to Den- ver, Colorado, and L. Kemper at Cleveland, Ohio. A. l^'ader says that business in cigar manufacturing lines has been very fair for February. A full force is working and the growth of the business is steady. He is banding the Foder cigar at 5 cents, which is having a very strong sale. j«»hn P.. Adt, who makes tobacco machinery, says he is fnuling the export business very good in all parts of the world, particularly South America. Africa and the Orient. William T. I'.arker. 32^ W. IVatt street, formerly with R. Starr iS: Co.. until they sold out to the American Snuff Co., has started in business for himself as an independent snuff manufacturer. He has built up a good business, which is con- stantly increasing. This is the only snuff factory now in Mary- land. Sam R. Boyd is a new city salesman for M. Kemper & Son <»f 11 ]'".. Lombard street. K. B. Gibson, formerly of the tirm of Gibson & Aubrey, here, leaf tobacco, has now gone on the road for J. Vetterlein & Co., of Philadelphia, covering New York State. When there are any orders Gibson sees them ahead. W'ertheimer Bros., cigar manufacturers, are pushing their llullhead and Ellsworth brands and the salesmen are out send- ing in good returns. Sam W ertheimer has gone to the Tar West and Ike W'ertheimer to the Middle West. .\ good year is reported for i[}0(j and is starting in good for this year. Goods are sold in almost every State in the country. A large addition has been built to the factory which has allowed an increase in the output. Also a large humidor has been built for storing leaf tobacco and they already have (Jiie for cigars made up. Mr. Paris, the proi)rietor of the .Manchester Cigar Co., Howard street, has returned fnuii a trip to Philadelphia and is very much enccjuraged over the outlook for 1910. They have been compelled to work overtime to fill orders and will put on two new salesmen. The "Match It" cheroots, the "Havana Cadets" and the "Empire Whiffs" are big money makers. THE TOBACCO WORLD 35 A New York Educator on Tobacco Combines. In accordance with the policy of The Tobacco World to always give both sides a chance in its columns, we append here- with some remarks by J. French Johnson, Dean of the New York University School of Commerce. In an after-dinner speech in New York, l*\'b. 27th, Dean Johnson said: "The decisions of the lower courts against the tobacco and Standard Oil trusts were based on technicalities. Neither trust has been guilty of obnoxious practices usually thought of as monopolistic. The co-called 'crime' of which the lower courts have declared the.se two trusts guilty has undoubtedly been committed by many hundred corporations throughout the coun- try which are inconspicuously transacting a business universally regarded as perfectly legitimate. "If the Supreme Court tnids against them all the capitalistic combinations of the country, large and small, which are engaged in interstate business, must dissolve or accept the hazard of litigation. "Under these circumstances it is most surprising that President Taft should calmly assume that the anti-tnist act, a law hastily framed to appease an angry and ignorant public sentiment, is a mode cither of justice or expediency. If the Sherman act cannot kill monopoly except by virtue of a techni- cality that would destroy all large scale production, then it is the law, rather than business methods, that must be reformed." York County a Sufferer by the Suit. The American Tobacco Co. naturally hesitates to buy big just now. One result is that some 4,000,000 lbs. of un.sold tobacco is reported in and around York, Pa. The agents of the big company are generally around and eager to buy, but this spring it is "Not just no,w". The Black TTorse Tobacco Co., gained its suit against the Louisville & Nashville R. R. before the Interstate Commerce Commission, which has ordered reparation to be paid be- cause the minimum weights imposed by the defendants upon shipments of leaf tobacco in hogsheads from Kentucky anri Tennessee points to Mexico were found to be unreasonable. Several points of interest to shippers were itemized in the decision by the commission. At Presc|ue Isle, Me., Jf^e Hedrich, cigar manufacturer, is making important additions to his plant. Manila Cigars Glut the Frisco Market. Many Dealers Overloaded With Stock of Filipino Cigars. San Francisco, Mar. 7. IHI^^RE is still a gt)od deal of complaint among the San Francisco retailers, and jobbers are by no means satis- fied with the volume of local cigar business, but there is, nevertheless, some improvement to be reported. February, though a short month, showed larger transactions than January, and March has opened with a week of fine weather, stimulating retail sales and leading many of the smaller dealers to take on more stock than they had been car- rving. High-grade goods are in rather better demand, and dealers who feature imported goods and the finer domestic lines report a noticeable improvement in the box business. The Manila cigar business is causing some dissatisfaction in all departments of the trade at present. The large quanti- ties placed on the Coast market have caused a material decrease in sales of the lower priced domestic lines for some time, but the Manilas have until recently been fjuite profitable to those who handled them in either a retail or a wholesale way. Many local retailers and jobbers, however, loaded up with these goods to a greater extent than conditions warranted, and are now making considerable effort to unload, resulting in great irreg- ularity in prices, which in turn disgusts the consumer. The local demand has fallen off, and while outside towns arc still sending in liberal orders, some of the jobbers state that the goods are not selling as fast as they should. One cause of this condition is the manner in which many local dealers entered the business, buying up odd lots of goods, many of which were not well suited to this market, and bringing in a good deal of trashy stock which is hard to move. The Manila factories have been very much upset by the American business, which they were not prepared to handle, but they are now getting down to a good working basis, pre- paring to put out standard brands and sizes suitable for the American trade. They are also finding a reasonable level of prices, realizing that cheapness is the chief recommendation of their product, and that excessive prices will cut off the demand quicker than anvthing else. Arrivals of Manila goods were comparatively light last month, and the steamer arriving this week also brought a light shipment, but a large lot is due about the middle of the month, three and a half million being for Castle Bros.-Wolf & Sons, with smaller quantities for other local and Eastern jobbers. W. H. Wolf, of Castle Bros.-Wolf & Sons, has not yet returned from his Eastern trip, but is expected within a few days. This house has been able to dispose of its Manda ship- ments almost as fast as thev arrived, the proportion of Eastern business being steadilv on the increase. For the last two weeks shipments to the East have been particulariy heavy, owing to a large number of orders taken by Mr. Wolf from jobbers m that territory. Edward Wolf, of the Edw. Wolf Company, is still in the East and mav remain there for a week or two longer, as he has met with great success in marketing his Manila lines and still has considerable of this stock to dispose of. Milton Esberg, of M. A. Gunst & Co.. has just returned from a long visit to the Philippines, where he arranged for a supply of these goods for his company. The brand to be handled is the 'Tsabella", and a small lot has just arrived for use in the companv's retail stores. The company expects a shipment of 350,000 later in the month, and will probably offer them to the trade after that. Several of the company's outside managers are in town this week. M. A. Gunst & Co.'s 5-cent leader. "The Owl" cigar, has been holding its own since the first of the vear, and as it is an old favorite here its sale will probably not be seriously interfered with by the Manila bus- iness. L. A. Sawyer, Coast agent for P. San Martin & Co.. ami factory representative for "Las Dos Xaciones" Mexican cigars, is giving a great deal of his attention to the trade in the interit^r at present, as the re>ults there are relatively better than in liie city. Sales of his lines have been picking up for the last month, and he considers the outlook good for the spring months. "Doc" Hoffman, of the Hoffman-Moore Company, i^ mak- ing a trip through the interior of the State. The first shipment from the new Tampa factory of r.oltz. Clymer & Co., will go to l^ank W. Smith, of Spokane. Wash., the order being taken by Mr. lloltz while in San hVancisco last month. Mr. Boltz is now in Los .\ngeles. accompanied by J. D. Waterman, the company's traveling representative in this territory. Mr. Hall, representing the .Astor Cigar Company, of Day- ton, Ohio, was in San Francisco this week. Geo. H. Clarke, a well-known dealer of .S.icramento. is calling on the city trade, Rinaldo & Beebe report great success with their new 5 cent line, "R. & B. Havana Special". Tampa-made, which they are introducing in the interior. Harry Bercovich. agent for the Luis Martinez line. \\:\^ recovered from a severe illness which kept him away from work for several weeks last month. Sol. Arku^h. Coast repre- sentative of the Martinez factory, has been taking a short vaca- tion in the South, but will return to the city in a few days. A. Straus, who has been known to the Coast trade for many years, has taken up the Coast agency for the Pinzon fac- tory, with quarters at Polk and Market streets. E. C. Berriman. of Berriman Bros., was in the city this week on his way north, where lie will spend a week or two call- ing on the trade, finishing in Southern California. T. C. W'.xmI. regular Coast agent of this house, is making his trip through the Southwest. T. Tobias, representing F. Lozano i'^- Co.. is in San Fran- cisco on his first trip to the Coast. Frankel. Gerdts & Co.. the local manufacturers, are keep- ing their factory quite busy on some large orders they have recently taken in the North and South, and have '^ent large shipments to both quarters this week. Charies J. Simon, a local cigar broker, has moved his office from California street to 520 Washington street. The lose Lovcra Company ha< placed its Southern Cali- fornia. Arizona and Nevada agency with Haas. Baruch i*^ Co.. of Los Angeles, thus completely covering the Coa'^t territory. The companv's other agents are Wellman. Perk I'l- Co.. in San Francisco, and Schwabacher Bros., of Seattle. Wash. Turkish Tobacco Invades Mexico. What is stated to be the first large -shipment of raw Turkish tobacco ever brought into Mexico reached Vera Cruz eariy this month. The tobacco was consigned to the J. G. Veramendi v Cia. owners of the Cigarrera Fgipoia. a concern lately bought bv Mr. Veramendi and his associates from the Cia Cigarerra Egipcia. of which A. H. Houry was the former proprietor. Other small Turkish shipments have been brought to Mexico, but nothing large. The Mexico Record says that Mexico produces as much tobacco as anv countrv in the worid and exports to all coun- tries Enterprise, however, demands that they bring m Turkish gomls to mix with their own. Mr. Wramendi is an old resident of the Citv of Mexico and has ju^t taken over thr fine stores at Aveni New York City. The in.irkrt loiiditioiis duriiif^' the past fortniKlit have been un- satisfaitory and a vtry iiiaitivc hiisincss was the rule with a niajority of the Uaf tnhacTo houses. Within the last few days there were some si^ns «>f an iinprovenunt, hut purchases arc of a small nature and certainly not of a speculative character, which usually is reflected in purchases of much larger volumes of goods. Some hindrances have also heen experienced in the shipment of goods owing to labor ditlicidtic's anionj^ railro.ids. especially in the Western States. It even sirms that strikes are not the only troubles that the railroads are havinv,' lately, for until (piite recently storms have caused land slides in iIh more mountainou^ section'^ which liave impeded trathc to some extent thus elTtctiiiK the delivery of j^oods in transit. The general c(»nditions in the cigar industry were not favorable to a really large leaf business so far this year, and while the output has kt pt up fairly well, manufacturers ai)pear to have great hesitancy aboiu makiiig \ lli<- moiuli louiuuth kind. Tlu-y comprise about every type of cij^ar leaf, but selections made were largely of the filler varieties. Trailing in Sumatra leaf has naturally been (|uiet for this is just tin- timr wluii manufacturers are showing an inclination to await partiiulars of the new goods just beginning to be offered in Amsterdam by Inscription. In th<' Havana market there has been a strong inquiry for old stoiks and a moderately good business in all types of leaf. Pennsylvania Philadelphia. ■Jlir Kaf tobaeco trade in Philadelphia seems to have been un- usually dull during the pa.st two weeks, and is just now beginning to sh<»w some signs of a revival. The new year started in well enough brt it did not keep uj) very well according to present reports. The strike situation tlid not have a great deal to do with the leaf market, and comparatively few of the local cigar manufacturers have been affected by it. Mamifacturrs generally are ineeting with a fair business, but are apparently not exceeding their actual needs in the proem re-denishmetu of stm'ks of raw material. Local packing houses now ha\r tbiir warelutuses in the packing districts in operation in packing i(;lo cro|»s. but their purchases are being niade with special care tliis year for the selections of only the most desirable crops. There are practically no changes in the comlitioti of the Havana market ami importers re|)ort that sales are of moclerate proportoins and inf the new goods now being sold in Amsterdam by Inscription. Lancaster. There seems to have been a slump in the inquiries for old goods receiMly an wlo li.ive not yet sold. F.ven at the comparatively low figures '•••III; offered there does not appear to be any general activity .,..-,„ ,. |...|,-i.-, -< *ft Ijf'v the crops. At nearly all the Lancaster packing '.'•me crops have been received and are now tmdergoing the packing process. York. The loc.d tiackers of this vicinity do not seem stiecially eager to m.ike nurcbases of the new crons. potwithstandine ih-\\ prices bavi^ receded very inaterially. Considerable quantities of the new goods were bought and shipped earlier in the season from various points in the county, but there is no activity at the jiresent time. There is being comparatively little business done in old goods, for the cigar industry is really very dull and manufacturers show no inclination to lay in more stock than will be needed in the near future and although prices are admittedly moderate, they are not sufficiently low to tempt manufacturers to make speculative purchases. New England Hartford. Considerable quantities of tobacco have been purchased during the past two weeeks and nearly all the crops in this vicinity have been taken from the poles. The i>rice> received by growers lately were not as high as were offered to them when the buying movment first began. While 12 cents has been paid as a late top notch figure, there were also many lots bought as low as 9 cents. Of course, not all farmers will sell at this price and some few are still threatening to pack their own tobacco unless they receive a higher price for it. The few buyers who have been in the field lately have been making i)ur- chascs rather sparingly. St'FFiKLD. Conn. Some of the farmers in this section are still receiving fair prices for their crops, which vary from 10 to i^ cents ;i pound. .\ great deal of dissatisfaction has arisen from the fact that farmers are not re- ceiving anywhere near a uniform prici. but then it shoidd be ron the care in cultivation and handling. North H.xtfik.ld. Mass. Nearly every day there is a movement of some tobacco of the new crop, although it seems that recently there have not been any purchases made in this section of the State. Warehouses seem to be in active operation and as rapidly as sweat imr ro«»ms are empticfl of one lot of goods they are almost immediately refilled. Hatfield, Mass. At prices ranging from 11 to 13 cents, the new crops of tobacco are passing quite steadily into the hands of packers and delivery of the new crops by farmers to the various warehouses has been pro- gressing rather steadily and it is believed that ere long the crops will have been all received. TTazardville, Conn. A fairly good average price is reported to have been received by tobacco growers in this section of the State and a majority of the crons have been disposed of by the farmers. There is still some little buying to be done, but warehouse representatives recently passing through here seemed to have made only limited purchases. Wisconsin. Edgerton. Tobacco growers who have been holding their crops for higher prices are now apparently willing to make concessions, but still buvers do not .seem anxious to take up any more crops at prices asked by farmers. Those growers who are willing to accept the prices now generallv prevailing, and which have been set bv packers, would have little difficulty in finding buyers, and it is said that in lower Dane County there has been a cosiderablc acreage bought up within the last two weeks. Seven cents is about the general figure and there is not much deviation from this for the wrapper grades but the prices for the filler leaf varies somewhat. Tn old tobaccos the market has been very quiet, and shipments have fallen off very much. New tobaccos are being received at the ware- houses and handled as rapidly as can be. Ohio. MlAMISBURG. The stripping of the tqoq crops is now pretty well completed, and deliveries to warehouses are becoming more general, although the buying movement is no longer so active, becau.se the prices demanded by farmers were not regarded as inviting to take the goods. Ten cents is a little too high for the local packers and consequently they are passing the crops by when these figures are demanded. Local farmers are beginning to'obscrve that the farmers in the northern end of the State are selling their crops more readily than they are in this vicinity and it it causing them some uneasiness.

These new stamps of all denominations can be had for sale on and after July i, or prior to that date if called for. The commissioner states that ina^nuich as the tariff act made no change in the rate of tax on cigars weighing nu>re than three pounuch time as their sui)plies shall have been con>unuMl. Manufacturers also are empowered, according to this rul- ing of the conmiissioner, t(j attach these new ^tamps to pack- ages prior to July i, and in advance of the removal of pack- ages so stamped from the factory, so that no delay to business of manufacturers need be encountered in preparing packages f(.r shipment after July i. All manufactured tobacco, snutY and cigarettes withdrawn for sale or consumption after July i, nuist have the new series of stamps aftixed to the packages. Taxpayers liaving unused tobacco, snuff, and cigarette stamps of the obsolete issues in their jwssession after June 30, i(>io, will be re(juired to hie claims for redemption on form V'^ before they can be reimbursed to the amount of the value \a the stami)s. .Such stamps also must have been purchased within two years prior to the presentation of the claim.

Hearing on Anti-cupon Bill. W .\si!iN(iri».\, Marcli 31. lutUpendent manufacturers of the c<»untry will, in the near future, have a hearing before the Ways and .Means Committee on the bill iutroduceil by Repre- sentative Tawney, of Minnesota, and prohibiting the giving of coupons with cigars and cigarettes. The date tor the hearing has not been set, but .\lr. Tawney is actively at work in the interest of the measure, and ho[)es to have the committee ar- range to hear the arguments of the independent men in favor of the bill within the next week or two. The bill as now before the Ways and .Means Committee has been passed twice by the I louse, but each time has been rejected by the Senate. According to Mr. Tawney. sentiment towanl the measure has changed greatly recently, and he is sanguine of its passage at the present sessi«>n. This bill is more drastic in its provisions than the clause tliat was inserted in the rayne-.Mdrich tariff bill and became law with the passage of that measure. It prohibits the pack- aging of redeemable coupons of any character whatever with cigars and cigarettes no matter what the brand might be. rhe main purpose of the bill is to prevent the use of the internal revenue laws of the country as a medium for the furtherance of a gift enterprise.

Jenkinson Company, who died suddenly on the 27th ult.. after a brief illness. The deceased was a native of l^ngland, having been born in Kendall on June ^o, icS^S. He was therefore /2 years old at the time of his ilcath. His parents emigrated to the Cnited States when he was but three years old. and uf^on the death »)f his fath.er, which occurred at the early age of ten. he secured employment in the old tobacco house of W. & D. Rinehart. of Pittsburgh. When a mere lad, together with his brother Richard, he founded the tobacco business of the R. &• \V. Jenkinson Com- pany, and its growth from its inception has been contiinious and profitable. It was quite natural that he should enter the tobacco business, coming as he did from Kendall, which is the great snufT manufacturing town of England. Since iSqo. when the company was incorporated. William Jenkinson has been but slightly interested in tobacco affairs. 'his nephew, Alexander ^T. Jenkinson. being the present head of the house he fotmded. ATr.

There is much evidence of satisfactory progress being made in the exploitation of the "Euxello" five-cent cigar, made bv Euckctt, Euchs & Eipscomb.

A ki:i'RI".Si:\ r A ri\ 1- .-i tlu- Wokm) who ealU-d at ill. lactorv oi" the .Mentor C"t.in|)an\ in r.ostou the llaiJi^y oilu'r day had the opp trtunits of iiispictmii a ma- chiiu' for cork-tipping cigarettes, which excelled in it^ operation anv other similar device which he 'lad ever exam- ined. This machine, which was invented b\ James \. r/ibides. and is controlled by the inventor and 1". J. Costello. seems to have eiitirelv solved the perplexing probUtn of mechanically cork-tipping a cigarette. Primarily the device does the work si)eedily and yet handles the cigarettes without «lamaging them. The cigarettes are \ci\ im'» the machine over cyliiKlers, and the entire drop of the goods from the \i\(\ trough t<» the finished box does not exceed two feet. The arrangements are so skilfullv provided that the cigarettes are handled practically without vibr.ition. and tlie shaking out of tob.icco. so ctimmou in most similar devices, is entirely eliminated. While the ma- chine was in operation and had cork-tipped over 5.(kx) cigar- ettes at a speed <»f more than 140 per minute, the writer ol»- served that there had not been enough tobacco shaken from the 5.000 cigarettes to n>ll half a new one.

The growth of this new industry along the Missouri River, in Clay and I latte Counties, Missouri, and in Leavenworth and Atchison Coun- ties, Kansas, and the preparations for the coinmg year s crop, point to this section as one of the most profitable fields for tobacco growing in the United States. •'Across the Missouri River and eiglit nulcs aI)ove Leaven- worth the old frontier town of Weston, the outpost of civiliza- ti.m from which the commerce of the plains and the Salt Lake remon was hauled by wagon sixty years ago, is now enjoying its greatest prosperity. For a half century Weston stood still its earlv poi)ulati(m of 4.000 dwindling to 700. Within the past two vears the population has jumped to 3.000, and land prices around about have advanced from $100 to $200 per acre. This is due to the tobacco industry in Platte County. Farmers on the Kansas side of the Missouri River have demonstrated that the soil conditions here are the same, and hundreds will dis- card other crops and plant tobacco. _^^^ Onlooker THE TOBACCO WORLD «7 THE TOBACCO WORLD ESTABUSHED 1881 PUBLISHED ON THE 1ST AND I5TH OF EACH MONTH BY THE TOBACCO WORLD CORPORATION J.

In these days of widely advertised brands of cigars, cigar- ettes and tobacco, retail dealers have, in many instances, suf- ferred from the price-cutting war waged by Advantages and unscrupulous competitors. One uf the re- Disadvantages of suits of this has been the increased demand Pnvate Brands. for private brand goods. It is a noteworthy fact that many of the most .successful retail cigar stores have built up their busi- ness on their private brands, although they carry along with them the regular line uf popular goods. Marufacturers have been loath to encourage this private brand feature and have yielded only after insistent demands. From the retailers' stand- l)oint, the private brand has its advantages. Jn the first place, he contends that he can get a better cigar made and branded privately than he can obtain for the same price on the estab- lished brands. Moreover, by giving a better cigar for the inuney and keeping the brand for his own distribution, he can build up a select class of box trade, which will increase the volume of his Inisiness and add to his profits. These private brands are usually ordered direct froni the factory and eliminate the usual selling costs which prevail on the ordinary brands. If the manufacturer puts the saving on his selling cost into the quality of the cigar or tobacco, then the retailer should undoubtedly receive better goods than can be obtained ordinarily. Ihe only succo.slul way ul pu.^hing the private brand is tu estal)li.^h its idenliiy liy adverti.sing ami feature winiiow dis- play-. If the dealer studies this tiuestion seriously he will agree that he is simply following in the methods of the big manufacturer, only on a smaller scale. Dealers contiinplating putting in private braiKls should not lose sight ol the fact that they mu^t also carry the goods which are in p«»pular demand, fur there are some smokers who will not buy an unknown brand, even if it i> better than the kind they call for. There is a divergence of opinion in the trade as to how the new revenue law, which goes into elTect July ist, will atVect the tobacco and cigarette trade. It is not believed The Affect of the ^^'^^^ ^'^^' changes in the sizes oi the statutory New Revenue i)ackages will have any direct effect on the Law. retailer, as any increasetl cost in la.xation is usually borne by the consumer and will in no way diminish tlie profits of the handler. The new sizes of tobacco packages, it is believed, will make it imjKJssible for them to be packed in the old style car- tons, and it is likely that tobacco will be sold by the dozen anil gruss lots insteatl of at the usual pound rate. In cigarettes, it is predicted that oidy the lower i)rice goods will be afi'ected. .Manufacturers who have been making cigarettes under the 54-cent stamp will be obliged to use smaller packages, as the increase in the tax to i?L25 per 1,000 wouKl wipe out their prufits under the uld-style packages. It is yet tuu early tu predict huw the changes will affect the tratle at large, but we believe that maiuifacturers will soon adjust themselves to the new t>rder of things and that business will go on unhampered. The boycott which .\dmiral I'rince Henry of Prussia is crediting with declaring against American cigars and cigarettes is one of the highest tributes he could have A Prince's Boycott P''^'^^ ^^ ^'^*-' industry of this country. It ap- on American pears that his Royal Nibs has been much Qgafg excited over the invasion of his country by a branch of Ihe American Tobacco Com- l)any, which was recently (»pened at Dresden, as well as the iieavy importation of American-made anns of varied degree, which finally evolve into a Morris chair and other bits of furniture danger- ous to sit upon. Reports from Elkhart. Ind., state that the cigar manufac- turing business is slowly reviving from the efTects which fol- lowed the closing of the saloons in that city.

Modem Building Overlooking East River Provides Excellent Faciblies. t ^^ \ \ V. of the most modern, substantial and thoroughly I VJ J e(|iiipi)ed cigar factories in the country has been built iBUDJll and is now occupied by IC. M. Schwarz ^: Co.. at 29-35 ^OSaaB j.-.j^^ j.'j^^j j^y^.j^y^^. mid i^ast 81 St street. New^ York City. The locatit»n is particularly adapted for this purpose, as it is situated high above the bank of the luist River, the rear facing the river, thus afi'ording an abundance of fresh air and light. The building is constructed of brick, concrete and steel, as nearly fireproof as is possible, and has a frontage of loj feet with a depth of So feet, eight stories in height, one of which might be commonly called the cellar. In this case, however, it is almost as light as any other floor, as the windows face the river and are twenty-five feet above the high-water mark. ( )ne-half of the first fl(H)r is devoted to a reception room, the general business offices, and the private offices of Mr. Schwarz. Mr. Klein. Mr. Wertheim and Mr. Cahn ; the bal- ance is used for the vaults and stripping room. Particular thought has been given to the matter of the sev- eral vaults, which have been constructed, not only for the extra security of their contents, but are also dusi-proof. The cigar vault, containing the ready- for-shipment prod- uct, is very thorough in its c«»nstruction. and is built of hollow tiles covered with Portland cement, the interior with boarding, between which is ])laced cedar sawdust. The floor is also of cement, covered with sand and brick, insuring moisture proof, but in case moisture is needed, there is an arrangement below the ceiling, of brass pipes, which arc punctured with small holes, to allow a dripi)ing on asbestos underneath the pipes. By this means the moisture can be regulated to suit conditions. The cigar vaults on this floor have a capacity of 1,000.000 cigars. On the top fl(X)r there is also another vault, placed in the centre of the room for loose cigars, which has a capacity of Qoo.ooo. On this floor there is an accommodation for the packers, and they are supplied with the cigars from the cigar- making rooms by dumb waiters and elevators, a system which is installed throughout the entire building. There is one floor devoted to drying fillers, separating by a wall the Havana from the seed fillers ; also one for the cigar- makers and one for the manufacturing of the Little Eoveras. The boiler, two dynamos— one fifty and one twenty-five horse power— which provide light and heat for the building, are located in the cellar. There is also a motor on each floor, which regulates the power for that individual floor, independ- entlv of the others. The ventilating system is very complete, and the sanitary appointments are as neariy perfect as can be. For example the wash and dressing rooms are of mari)le, concrete and nickel. There are separate compartments on each working floor' for lunch rooms, and each employee is allowed two hooks for hat and coat in coat room. ' The factory has now about T.200 employees, divided among the cigarmakers, bunchmakers, packers, strippers and handlers, and is turning out about 210,000 cigars a day. They are now advertising for more hands, and hope very soon to be able to run to the full capacity of the factory, which is 250,000 a dav. What's in a Name?

Mr. Tarantous has chosen the name of 'Mi V alor" for his goods, and is making a first-class clear Havana cigar in twenty-odd sizes. The latest report last week at the «»ftice ()f H.

He has been partic- ularly fortunate in not having lost any time on account of the recent bad weather conditions in the I'ar West, his delays being only in the usual course of business, which he reports very sit- sifactory. hVom present indications he will return to New York about April 15th.

In an interview with Mr. ( "ludkuecht he t<»ld a Toi5\((<) WoKi.i) representative that the Mah Mai ci<,^'lrette is a lii^h-j;rade product of I^}.(yj)tian ci^Mrettes. and which, while it has l..n<( had a c<»nsidcral)lc sale in New l\nj,dand ix.ints, was entirely new to this market until he introduced it. Not f>nly has this branri been favorably received by t!ie leadiu}^' clubs and i)roniinent cafes, but a demand is being cre- ated amonj^r the better class of retail stores, as well. In this connection a i)eculiar incident was related by a local dealer the nther dav. It api)ears that a custc^ner had come into his store and purchased a packajje of Mah Mai cip^arettes. but throuj^h some misfortune he dropped the packaj^e on the street not far from the -^tore. .\nother passer-by discovered the packat^'e. picked it up and immediately instituted an incjuiry from nearby cij^'ar store*^ as to where he could ^vt those floods. Tie then stated that he had been accustomed to smoking: them while in P.oston. but that he had never been able to nret any in Phila- ]n\:': c )nsiderably from tlie street to provide room for a teri'ice ai - proacli. being situated in the miods and a /><»// cochrrc is erected on the side, through which the delivery wagons will pass. The second floor will be devoted exclusively to the work- room, being admirably lighted on Ixith sides and from the ends, and providing room for 572 tables. To the rear will be a room for the selectors of tobacco and also for the filler supplies. The third floor will be divided in the centre by a long partition and various rooms will be apportioned, providing separate spaces for stripping, blending and the filler departments. A space is also allotted to provide for additional room for work- luen should the new factory be overtaxed. .•\n admirable feature of the new factory will be the con- struction of an annex to the rear, which will provide toilets for the workpeople. This is a sanitary feature which cannot l)Ut make for the good of the product. The basement, which will be well lighted and kept per- fectly drv, will provide space for the casing and storage room, as well as warehouses for tobacco supplies and matuifactured cigars. The erection of this splendid factory in Tampa will mark an epoch in the career of Roltz. Clymer & Co. The finn was established in t88o and its first quarters were in the meagre building on Third, near Arch. In iSqi the firm moved the factory to the corner of Fifteenth street and Lehigh avenue, which thev have occupied ever since. If is the intention of Mr. Roltz to continue the manu- facture of cigars in the Philadelphia factory, chiefly his "Fl Merito" brands, and to devote the new factorv exclusively to the manufacture of clear Havana goocN, notablv the "La Pa- lencia." The latter have been on the market for ten years and have had an enviable reputation. They are sold at retail from TO to 50 cents, and come in 30 sizes. With the opening of the Tampa factory the firm wdl be m better shape than ever to give the trade high-class goods in any quantities desired. Alfred W. Penner will hereaftbacco trade eiglU-en vears ago as a cigar manufacturer. Three years later tlu- 1v,mi. which had become known as H.

About a year ago they purchased the |)roperty now being occu|)ieiI by them at 147 North 'Thinl street. Mr. Dolinsky was known in '^everal of tlu tobacco-grow- ing States and was accustomed to making occasional visi's through Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New ^■ork .States. He was 61 years old. and is survived by a widow and four children, two sons and two daughters. Mr. Harry Dolinsky, the eldest son, who has been ass«K*iated with his father in the leaf tobacco business from its beginning, will CMUtinue under the firm name of H. Doliuskv & Son. John N.

In that case the crop mav be larger in (piantity than was ex- pected at first. As regards (|ua1ity, it is too early to say any- thing, as it has happened in former years that a crop which appeared as heavv when cut. finally did turn out light, through a g..od heavv sweat in the piles, and possibly this might be the case this year.

Tobacco export values for 1865 were the heaviest in the historv of the wred in America, and the year remains fiscally tile banner one in exports. m Present Status of the Tobacco Industry. IlL L'nited Stales Department of Agriculture has again placed tlie tobacco industry under obligations by its issuance of a thirteen-page pampiilet entitled "Present Status of the Tobacco Industry, " by White- man W'. Garner, physiologist in charge of the tobacco investi- gations. While this pamphlet, of necessity, echoes certain basic facts which are familiar to the trade, they are nevertheless grouped with historic accuracy and show a compreliensioii of tobacco from a scientilic standpoint which is highly gratifying. Jhe different classes of tobacco are treated with brief precision and include cigar types, wrapper and binder leaf, shade tobacco industry, tiller leaf, export types, dark lire-cured tobacco. Mary- land and Eastern Ohio air-cured tobacco. Under the heading of manufactured types are included lUirley tobacco grown in a wide area of country in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and West V irginia, its highest development be- ing in limited areas of Kentucky and Southern Ohio. Next is the dark manufactured tobacco mdigenous to Kentucky and Tennessee and a few counties of \ irginia. Bright llue-cured tobacco is itemized as coming from the dark tobacco belt of Virginia, Southern and Eastern Carolina and East Southern Carolina. The tiner grades are used as wrap- pers on manufactured plug, which brings good prices. I'liKiguii. — This renowned name applies to tobacco grown in St. James' parish of Louisiana on a small scale. The metlKjd of handling is unique. It is described as highly aromatic and is used mostly for blending with other smoking types. Each grower puts up his product in packages known as "carrottes , and the entire I'erique output is marketed through one concern. T C^^.^ Show^s Tampa's Great Prosperity. More "Havana" Cigars Than Any Other City in the World says Boomer. HAT J. K. Purns, of Tampa, Ela., has to say about that live town is traveling through the papers. Mr. Ikirns was in New Vt>rk lately and a Sun man got hold of him, with good publicity results for Tampa. Mr. Burns talked square out from liis mouth and said that Tampa was making more clear Havana cigars than any other city in the world. Twenty-tive to twenty-eight years ago Tampa was a little fishing village. Now it has 50,000 inhabi- tants and has doubled within ten years. Mr. Burns had a kindly word for Key West, however, and asserts that when hdagler gets through with his ocean railnjad. Key West will be heard from. Many Key West tirms have moved to Tampa, where there are about sixty factories turning out from 18,000,000 to 20,000,- 000 cigars a year. Mr. Burns says there is a constant demand for light cigars, and that competition is keener between Tampa and Key West factories than between imix)rters. Manufacturers give the pub- lic what it asks for and not what they think best. Of the South generally, Mr. Burns says that it is calling for millions of clear Havanas for local smoking, due to the great wave of prosperity incident to the high price of cotton. The mild and healthful climate of Tampa enables the people to work the year round with open windows. H. ]. Waltzer has bought the interest of H. B. Grossbcck in the wholesale and retail cigar business at Mount Clemens, Mich. H. H. Wallace enters the firm, which will be known in future as W allace & Waltzer.

Manu- facturers who discussed the matter during the past week all took an optimistic view of the situation. One of them «le- clared that their orders showed (|uite an imi)rovement over the first two weeks in March of last year, and this statement could probably be shared by every one of the large factories in this city. In keeping with this oinimistic tone are the government figures available to-day. The customs collections for the week ending to-day, totalling $51,171.62, these figures breaking the record for weekly collections in the Tampa customs office. The gain over the same week last year is $21,111.87.

I'.ecause of his work for the industry in years past, .Mr. .McKay has the stn.ng support of practically every cigar manufacturer in the city, if not all of them. United Cigar Stores Invite Test. Jt is said that the United Cigar Stores Company has in- vited a test of the law of New Hampshire which relates to trading stamps and designed originally to protect regular busi- ness men and their customers from the old trading stam[) scheme. The United Cigar Stores Company contends that their gifts to customers have no smack of gambling about them and that they only mean to give their patrons such benefits that may be due them for the amount of their patronage. This they term "profit-sharing," and the custom of provision dealers in giving boarding house keepers and other large buyers some benefits in the way of rates between the strictly wholesale rates and prices which small retail ilealers pay, is cited. Trade Items. Now comes Arkan.sas to the front and .says that she is one of the fore sections of the United States atlapted to growing broad leaf white Burley, considered an admirable crt>p for plug fillers. The Gunnoude & Zurmuehen CtJinpany, of 321 S. I4l!i street, Omaha, Neb., will build a cigar factory in that city to employ 100 men. The Guarantee Cigar Company has incoriX)rated at Webb City, Mo., with a capital of $10,000. W. O. and C. E. Miles and S. A. Kenyer are mentioned as the incorporators. The Salvo cigar factory at Natchez, .Miss., locatctl in South Commerce street, is an important little industry. The plant has been enlarged and improved and skilled workmen employed. The chief output is "Lady \ iolet, " a clear Havana cigar, which sells for a nickel. The growth of the American Tobacco Company's cigar factory at Wilmington, Del., afiords employment for a large number of people. Just now the company is calling for one thousand young women, and it is said that any self-respecting young girl will find work at the tobacco factory pleasant, cleanly and not difficult to master. Favorable comment is heard on the standard of accommodations which the American To- bacco Company has adopted for the comfort of their em- ployees. The Vaughan-Ware Tobacco Company has incorporated at Richmond, Va., to sell, manufacture and deal in tobacco; also to do a warehouse business. The officers are I. .\.

Preparing the New Manila Stamps. W.ASiii.NGTON, March 30.— Pursuant to the directions i.f General Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the Ihireau of Insidar Affairs of the War Department, modifying the "Oaulity Stamp" on exports of Philippine cigars, as announced recently in The Tobacco World, the authorities of the Philij)])ine gov- ernment at Manila are preparing to have printed a new issue embodying the changes in the stamps as authorized by Gen- eral Edwards. Just when the new stamp will be ready for distributmn cannot be predicted by the officials of the bureau at this time, but it is expected that the presses in Manila s(X)n will be turn- ing out the new issue. It is hoped that by the elimination of the clause certifying the American Government's approval of the fjuality of the goods, the objections of the Cigar .Manufacturers' Association and independent manufacturers will be met, and that the abuses alleged to have resulted from the aj)i)arcnt guarantee by the United States Government of the (juality of the go«.ds exported from the islands, will cease. Suit Over Cigarette Labels. Suit has been brought against the People's Tobacco Com- pany, of New Orieans, for refusal to pay for five million Kot- ton cigarette labels. The contract was made December 10, 1908, and the makers say they delivered the labels on time. The amount claimed is $990. Secretary Henry Abrahams, of the Poston Cigarmakers' Union, addressed a body of Methodist preachers there the other day and demonstrated how his union had helped the poor. He made good points and was applauded because the objects of the union seem to be on rational lines, and did not endorse the use of dynamite and stones and fist fights as a means to ac- complish an end. 2.S THE TOBACCO WORLD Boston Suffers Effects of Price War.

We sincerely trust that they are not smoking now. New Factory for "Old Coon" Cigars. ROVTDFNCK has always been proud of its produc- tion of a high-class five-cent cigar, in the "Old Coon" brand, and the business on these goods has grown to such proportions that the Tluntoon & Gorham Com- piiuy, ])roprietors of the factory, are now erecting a big addi- tion to their factory, which, when completed, as hoped, by next Sei)tembcr, will give them just double tfieir present ca- pacity. The new addition is three stories high, of slow-burning brick construction, 100 feet long by 40 feet in width, and when it is finished, the TTuntcM^n & dorham Company can take care of 300 hands, as against their present force of 150. The "Old Coon" factory was established in 1845 and has been one of the commercial landmarks of Providence for nearly three-quarters of a century. Their plant is to-day located at 362 Carpenter street. To Make Manila Cigars Here. An experiment of manufacturing cigars in this country from Manila leaf tobacco is to be started by some manufac- turers on the Pacific Coast. The first consignment of wrap- pers and fillers from the Philippines has reached Kohlberg & Co., San Francisco importers, who state that it is their inten- tion to blend the Manila tobacco with domestic, and by so doing they believe that they can turn out a very fine cigar. Manufacturers are dubious whether Manila cigars can be made in this country to compete against the cheap labor of the Far Fast. "During the past two weeks seventy-five Kentuckians, who are heads of families, have arrived here to engage in tobacco growing. A colony of 200 or more is coming to grow the weed."

Big Factory Will be Erected at Detroit to Meet Increased Demand — Michigan Trade Report. Detroit, ^Larch 28th, 19 10 7jT| 1 1 b- demand for cigars and tobacco has shown no change i during the month, manufacturers, wholesalers and re- g^4jg' tailers continuing to rei)ort a good trade with local ^ stores and anticipating a good trade during the en.su- ing .Spring and Summer m<»nths. Tn the State, manufacturers and whf)lesalers expect a di- minished trade following the Spring elections, the belief being that Prohibitionists will carry many of the disputed counties, thus closing hundreds of saloons. Tbe trade, in a way, will revert to legitimate dealers, but there will still be some l.»st when the reckoning comes. Different Detroit cigar manufacturers report overtime in their factories. The wholesalers are workhig with full forces. Different down-town stores are decorated in observance of the Easter .season, and a good trade in special makes is reported. There is no trouble over collections, money being plentiful. The San Telmo Company, now 13 years old. has com- pleted plans for the erection of a plant at Michigan avenue and 35th street, which will employ, when running full, about T.ooo cigarmakers. The company's main factory is at 540-55<5 ^^r- est avenue, and 1,500 girls and men are employed there. Tn addition to this the company maintains a school for cigarmak- ers at 1527-1529 Michigan avenue. This school aims to build up a force of workmen for the new plant, so that its operation will not be retarded through lack of cigarmakers. The new building will be 100 by too feet, four stories high, and base- ment, mill construction, with brick walls and a complete sprink- ler system. The officers are: President and general manager, Oscar Rosenberger; vice-president and superintendent, Rich- ard TTelms: secretarv'. E. J. Newell: treasurer, Herbert Weil. The new building wiil be completed about June t. The John J. Bagley & Co. let a contract for the erection of one of' the finest tobacco manufacturing plants in the coun- trv at an outlav of not less than $150,000. The main plant will be a building six stories high, of steel and re-enforced concrete, at Warren avenue and Dequindre street. Although one of the youngest concerns of its kind in the Northern part of the State, the Escanaba Cigar Company has already taken a place in the front ranks of the cigar industry in the district. Herman Desilcts is manager of the company. John Kahlow operates one of the finest appointed cigar factories in the Northern Peninsula and his brands of cigars are considerably advertised in the district. He has been in the business several vears and his plant at Escanaba has been kept busy through the Winter and Spring months. Thomas B.

The committee is making a pre- liminaiT hearing before reporting to the general classification meeting, to be held in New York. O A Gibbs. for a number of years employed at various Detroit tobacco houses, has resigned his position to write m- surance. Mr. Gibbs' health has been failing for some time.

Trade Lacks the Vim that Was Expected— Reports from Factories Lancaster, Pa., March 30. -^ I EPORTS Iruni various sections of this county indicate fv| that while the cigar business is moving along nicely there is lacking tiie vim which it should show at this time of the year, and this fact will be demonstrated wlieii the returns uf the sale of cigar stamps for the month are made, within the next few days. A majority of the factories are in operation, but some of them are running with reduced forces. Only a lew of the very large establishments are ad- vertising fur additional help. An intercbting meeting of the Lancaster County Tobacco (i rowers* Association was held on Monday a week last at the Stevens House, and it was well attended. As has been the re- cent custom at these meetings some edifying papers were read, lohn P. Weaver, of West ikmpheld, treated the subject of ••What Would be the liest Method to Follow to Sell Your Tobacco W hen Buyers Fail to Come Around."' J. Aldus Herr, the president of the association, read a paper on "What Kind uf I'crtihzer is Best Adapted to Tobacco". It was decided to hold meetings in various places in the county and that the membership might be increased. A letter from Prof. Frear, of the State College, was read, and announced that two Federal State experimental tracts would be operated this year— one on the farm of John Kendig, at W illow street, and the other on a farm of Samuel Mumma, tobacco grower and packer, at Landisville. John S. Weaver, of the Glen Mawr seed farms, Kin- zer's, has received a letter from a large university in England relative to experimental tobacco work in India. Such work is to be begun and tliis college has charge of it. Mr. Weaver was recommended by the United States Department of Agricul- ture as an expert along these lines and is forwarding a number of different varieties of seed with instructions for growing and Later Mr. Weaver will make a trip to Virginia and North Carolina to make investigations and observations on cigarette and smoking tobaccos. Two years ago Mr. Weaver sent cigar- ette, smoking and cigar leaf seed to India and the experiments have been running for two years at Baroda, India. Walter S Bare, cigar manufacturer at Lititz, underwent an operation at the St. Joseph Hospital some days ago and is now recovering.

During the past two weeks more encouraging reports have been received iroin Western distributing centers ami several ol the k»cal houses are augmenting their forces. The Fleck Cigar Company has been busy all this Si)nng utilizing their large factory to its full capacity. A brisk demand beems to exist for dieir product in the Alidtlle West. John G. Spatz, of J. G. Spatz & Company, has returned from a Hying trip among some of the important jobbing houses. This practically concludes Mr. Spatz's Spring work and he will now devote his energy more largely to ot^ce and manulactur- ing departments. Their "lleidelburg" and other brands ot high-grade goods are enjoying a steadily increasing lucal trade. A new cigar store was recently opened at 51H North Ninth street by Thomas Freeman. Although work had progressed ciuite rapidly on the re- modeling of the building recently acquired by W . W. Stewart & Sons, at Green and Cedar streets, it can hardly be completed in time for the firm to take possession on April 1st. Business is now opening up better with them an.l they are exceedingly anxious to get into the new building as early as possible. The E. E. Kahler Cigar Company have lately experienced improvement in their trade, and a lu.rmal force of cigarmakers are now being steadily employed. J. 11. Witter, of Newmaiistown. has purchased a property at Kleinfeltersville and will erect a new cigar factory building on the site. After a short period of rather dull trade, Mr. Witter now finds orders coming more rapidly, and which will make additional facilities very desirable. Increase in Imported Leaf and Cigars. Washington, March 30.— There was a slight increase in the value of the leaf tobacco, cigars an.l cigarettes, etc.. im- ported into the United States during the month of I'ebruary, as compared with the same in. .nth last year, according to the monthly statement of the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart- ment of Commerce ano(;. For the eight months ending with February, 1910, the total value of the imi>orts of leaf tobacco was $18,000,000. while for the same period in 190J the total was sixteen and eighth-tenths millions. The cigars, cigarettes, etc., imi)orted during bebruary, 1910 were valued at three-tenths of a million d< .liars, while for the month of h\'bruary. lOOQ. the total was but two-tenths of a million. For the eight-month period ending with bebni- ary, 1910. the total value of these imports was two and six- tcnths millions, and for the same period in 1909 the total was two and two-tenths millions. ^2 THE TOBACCO WORLD Pacific Coast Trade Not Satisfactory. lousiness in Cities Quiet but Improved in Smaller Towns More Manilas Arrive.

He is now getting consideral)le business in a jobbing way. I. Danziger, Coast representative of W ertheimer Bros., has returned from a trii) through the Northwest, in c(jmpany with Sam Wertheimer. He reports a large business all along the route, and is now getting in quite a numr)er of duplicate orders. The food qualities of tobacco are strikingly illustrated in the case of R. McCauley, who, according to a press dispatch, subsisted on tobacco for nearly a week. McCauley and his family were left in a destitute condition without food or a home. They rigged up a tent near La Salle, Conn., and their only stock of provisions consisted of tobacco. They appeased their hunger on this by chewing and smoking, until the charity authorities intervened and placed the three children in a State home. The Golden Cigar Company, at Evansville, Ind., has in- creased its capital stock from $20,000 to $30,000. The officers of the corporation are James R.

It is stated that the company expect to erect a large Iniilding in the near future to be devoted to the manufacture of cigars. L P.

There has been continued sluggishness in the leaf tobacco market (luring the past two weeks. Late advices are to the effect that in- (juiries seem to be getting a little stronger, but up to this time there is little evidence of an actual buying movement by cigar manufacturers. Reports from the growing centers are not much more encouraging than they were earlier in the Spring, and prices, if anything, have re- ceded Somewhat for such crops as remain unsold. .\ considerable activity has prevailed in the Sumatra market, (otulitions have, no doubt, been augmented by the recent reports from Amsterdam of the new goods, and which has resulted in considerable activity in the procurement by manufacturers of larger supplies of li^ht wrappers, and it is now stated that the market is being rapidly bared of this class of old goods. It was quite natural to expect that prices would also stiffen, which they have. There has been nothing of special interest transpire in the Ha- vana market. The report from Cuba that the crop will be very short and withal the quality will not be of the very best, seems no to have lia«i unich of an effect on market conditions thus far. Withdrawals I roll! Ixinded warehouses have been about normal. PENNSYLVANIA. l*HiL.\ui:Li'm.\. Wry little improvement is quoted in the Philadelphia trade. Of- ferings of sufficient supplies have been made to meet all demands, and if anything prices have shown a slightly ui)war(l tendency. There have been sales of smaller lots of leat right along, but in its aggregate it can hardly be considered a normal amount of business. Hut for lo- cal disturbances the cigar induslr} would seetn to be in a fair condi- tion and, in consequence, the leaf tobacco men continue to, at least, feel hopeful of an improvement in the near future. A moderate de- mand has been existing for Havana leaf, and although no specially large sales have been made, prices are being lirndy maintained. .\otwithstanding that the recent reports from Amsterdam are anything but encouraging, there appears to have been no special activ- ity to acquire large holdings of old goods, of which there are still some .ipplies in this market. Lancaster. Considerable activity developed recently in buying the new crop, and it seems that both buyer and grower were anxious to conclude operations with the result that during the past two weeks there was probably more tobacco bought than during any corresponding period of the present season. It is intimated that several of the larger factors r.t buying have now eliminated themselves completely. In consecjuenc* of this prices seem to have taken a still further drop. There will be a sale for all the tobacco grown, provided farmers will accept for it a price which will enable local packers to handle it. More than 50 per cent, of the new crop is believed to have been contracted for. York. The leaf tobacco men report that cigar manufacturers are still buy- ing most s|)aringly of old goods. Of the new crops the buying move- iiuiit has not progressed very rapidly and fartners in the vicinity of the Druck Valley, where some of the linest leaf of the county is grown, are still awaiting an acceptable offer for their crops. WISCONSIN. ElKiKRTON. With a great improvement in the condition of country roads, the farmers' great handicap in delivering tobacoos, has been relieved. Re- ceiving is being hurried along now as rapidly as possible. It is esti- mated that probably 75 per cent, of the goods bought are already de- livered to the various warehouses, where the actual work of handhng is well under way. The market has shown little encouragement in the way of increased demand for old goods. Complaints continue to come from Kastern centers, and the local business has also been of a small nature. JANESVILL^:. Local warehouses are fairly active, and now that the couritry roads are in a better condition tobaccos are coming in at a more lively rate. Several of the Janesville warehouses are in active ojjeratioii. but ship- ments of old goods from this point continue small. A lot of poor tobacco seed was harvested last fall, and the already low vitality was still more greatly reduced by frosts, which makes it particularly desirable for t«d)acco growers to put their seed this year to a special lest, and carefully s«.parating tlu- go. .d from the inferior.

Some few .sales of iQoy goods were recently consummated at S and J cents per pound in the bundle, and it was fair goods. The yieM being fairly heavy, farmers are still realizing a pretty fair price per acre for their crop. NEW ENGLAND. llAKTKokn. Conn. Tobacco raisers are not feeling very kindly t<»ward the buyers, who earlier in the season bought crops and are now asking farmers to accept a reduction. It is stated that in some instances these de- ductions amount to several hundred dollars on larger crops. I'ariiurs claim that they are powerless to do anything but accept the otTers now made, because they must move their crops in order to realize the money necessary to be paid for fertilizers and other expenses which will now soon be incurred. The suit of 1. Surkovice & Company, of Xew York, against W'. II. .Strong, of Simsbury, was on trial last week in the C ourt of ( ••mmon Pleas before Judge John Coates. The plaintitTs seek to recover dam ages of $500, because of the alleged f.iilnre of the defeiiaid. will be appealed by Mr. Strong. SiFum.n, Conn. In spite of the lateness of the season, tobacco buyers are still at work, and fre(iuently sales .ire reported, but at prices at much below those at the beginning of the season. This is due to the fait th.it most of the warehouses have tobacco enough to keep them f^oing as lonn as the men can be kept in doors and goods must be bouf^ht low enough to pay for extra help which will be reipiired to push the work through later on. Farmers do not api)ear to have lost courage over the lower prices they have received and are preparing to raise about the same amount in acreage this year. Last Hartkoki*. Conn.

Ili:io.\ manufacturer to possess a full knowledge of, and in the sin(jking world there is, perhaps, much less known of the many interesting branches of mdustry called into being by the fascniating weed. The cigar smoker could well wonder how much of what lie i)ays for his smoke goes into the box and the lithi^graplied label and the gilt bands and the like. The cigar box containmg lifty cigars would cost anywhere from S'A ^^ ^ ^^'"^^^ accord- mg tM what it is made of, and yet that would be without cnmt- ing the labels and brands, or anything but the plain wood and uads and labor expended in the making of the box. Jt has been variously estimated that the cost of the cigar boxes used m the I nited States is placed at nearly $0,ooo,cx)O— and with the ex- eeplK.n of a comparatively few boxes which are sent to Cuba, this production is used entirely in the United States. This out- pnt. ..f course, refers to wooden boxes exclusively, and does not Mulude pastelMKird boxes used for certain kinds of cigar prod- iKls cigarettes and little cigars. Of this volume of busmess I'ennsylvania is credited with about J?i,f)0(),ooo,— and withm the conhnes of her border are employed about i,()00 people m the cigar box ind. .\Ith..ugh a very small amount of wood is needed in the making of any one box, it is, neverthe- less a little cheaper to use the veneered poplar or the mutation cedar than it is t.» use the genuine article, hence the sale of these boxes.

The immense pressure used in the veneeriiig wooorts. Detroit. The demand for cigar boxes has shown strong during the last two weeks and factories in different parts of the city are running full. Local railroads rqx.rt a clearing up in the freight situation, and no dimculty is experienced in getting consign- ments away on time. Lumber is plentiful and prices are stifTen- ing New York City. The IL W. Ehrichs Company reported (juiet trade condi- tions, with but a moderate demand and no inquiries beyond what' is actually required. Trade conditions generally are at a low ebb, but consumers are continuing to operate in a moderate way thus keeping the box manufacturers going along at a slow pace The outlook as regarded by them is rather uncertain, but they seem to be still hopeful that business will increa.se as the season advances. It is the concensus of opinion among box manufacturers in New Y'ork that the demand is restricted largely to the local consumers and that prices are not (|uite satisfactory from the box makers' standpoint. They seem to be looking forward to Aoril for a better business condition. • Cincinnati. The old Roth, P.ruener & I5 in addition to this, it is stated that there is also a prospect of having another cigar manufacturing establishment located in C incinnati. I'he nimor comes from Indianapolis that to- bacco men are incorporating a company to manufacture cigar- and that they are considering locating in Cincinnati. judging from rei>orts given out by local box makers there would seem to be a very fair business just now in Cinciniiati. and all box factories are operating with a fully normal force. Pinr.ADKi.rniA. liox makers of the Ouaker City report that during the past month a steady imi)rovement was shown, and they are looking forward to a steadily increasing business. The lumber situa- tion is also said to be in a fair condition and that not mucli difficulty is being ex|)erienced in securing a sut^cient. if :i->t j)lentiful, supply at reasonable prices. Henry II.

Argument on the Frishmuth Suit American Tobacco Co., Fail to Obtain Postponement — Hearing on Demurrer April 22 f D 1 (>ST1X)\KMKXT of the suit brought by Frishmuth [j^ ''ros. & Company, independent tobacco manufactur- feS^ <-'rs, IMiiladelphia, against the American Tobacco Com- pany, having been tlenied, the argument on the demurrer will be heard in the LJ. S. Court for the Southern Dis- trict of Xew York, on April 22nd. The American Tobacco Company desired that argument be delayed until after the decree in the case of the Government against them had been handed down, but this motion has been denied and the case will now be brought to a focus. I'he tobacco trade is familiar with the circumstances lead- ing to the suit of the Frishmuth Company for triple damages under the Sherman anti-trust law, because of the alleged ma- nipulation of the licjuorice market to the injury of the Frish- nuith business. 'J1ie Frishmuth claim resuUing from loss by paying a too exorbitant price for liciuorice amounts, approxi- niately, to $2200, and the triple amount asked for under the law would be $6600. This suit is similar to the one brought by the U. S. Tobacco Company, Larus & Rros. iS: Company, and the Weisert Bros. Tobacco Company, which suit was compromised. The Frish- muth litigation is the only one remaining. Ex-Mayor Weaver, of the firm of Weaver & Drake, who is the Philadelphia attorney for the plaintiff, stated to the "Tobacco World" to-day that the Frishmuth suit would not be cf)mpromised under any circumstances and that they would push the case, if necessary, to the highest courts. Turkish Tobacco High and Scarce By Special Correspondent. ^^ Cavalla, Turkey, March i8th. HI A\'I*^ just returned from an extended trip throughout the villages of this province and find little of encour- agement to report concerning the crop conditions. The yield of Cavalla tobacco is much more limited than last year, and although the (juality is uncertain, the prices are up in the sky. (irowers whom I visited are demanding ad- vances in price averaging from 50 per cent, to over 100 per cent, and their tobacco is being taken at the higher figures, too, so they seem very independent. The buyer for the Italian Regie is getting all the lots he can buy, and while their needs are estimated at 100,000 kilos, or over 220,000 pounds, the tobacco is not in sight. Personally, I have bought all the good lots which I could secure, and am now waiting to see how the tobacco will turn out after treatment. One hundred thousand pounds of my best has been purchased for the account of E. A. Condax & Com- pany, of New York. The buyer for Schinasi Bros, has been an active factor in the market for some time, and he is securing all the lots he can obtain to cover the needs of his firm's big factory in the States. The American Tobacco Company's resident buyer has also been busy getting all he could, so that it can be readily seen that with the short crop over here, the stiff prices which arc being demanded, any cigarette manufacturers in the United .States who have a good supply of Cavalla tobacco on hand have some mighty good prospects in store for them, and higher prices for cigarettes are sure to come soon. John P. Varda. New Lease of Life for American Tobacco Company. Reargument of Government's Anti -Trust Suit a Temporary Victory for Defendant. VV.\suinl.to.\, April 12. a XEW lease of hfe, at least until next W mier, wa.s granted yesterday to the American lobacco Com- pany, the Tobacco Trust, >o-called, by the United States Supreme Court, when it redockeled lor reargu- ment next October, the suit of the Government to put the company out of business on the ground thai it i> a c.-mbniation in re^traint of trade in violation of the Sherman anti-tru.st law. The company was convicted in the lower l-cileral courts and argument on the appeal recently was heard by the highest tribunal of the country. It was the general belief that the final decree would be handed down before the eiul of the Spring term of the court in May, aiul the simple announcement by Chief Justice Fuller, without explanation of the course taken, that the cases would be opened lor argument, came as a great surprise to President Talt and the administration forces that have been lined up again.^t the company. The action taken yesterday by the court is generally lieM, by those in position to speak authoritatively, to mean that the court is divided four to three on this important case. W hether the court stood for or against the Goveniment i.^, of course, purely a matter of speculation, but the report current about the Capital is that three of the justices .stand for the Government's contentions and four against them. W ith the death of Ju.stice Brewer and the inability of justice Moody to [)arlicipate be- cause of illness and his connection with ihe case while Attorney Cieneral, the membership of the c«>urt wa> reduced to seven. Lined up as the justices are, according to re|)ort, the court has no real majority, and it is presumed the court came to the ct credence here, the members who are against the Government in the case are Chief Justice Fuller and .\ssociate justices White, Ih.lmes and Lur- ton, while As.sociate justices Harlan. Day and .McKenna stand for the conviction of the company. This decision of' the court tany. Tlie announcement at least had the effect of bringing renewed confidence in the st(»ck markets, as shown by the rise in securities, and it was freely predicted that the business interests of the country will view the next few months as holding out brighter prospects. Another effect of the delay in the case is the placing of a tremendous responsibility on the shoulders of President Taft in the selection of a justice to take the place made vacant by the death of justice T.rewer. I'or on the selection that Mr. Taft will make ajjparently will depend whether the ( jovern- ment's suit for the dissolution of tlfis big cor|)oration is sus- tained or reversed. With the new menil)er of the court rests the vote that may give to the tribunal the neces.sary majority of the full court for or against the company. lO THE TOBACCO WORLD IHI(0)W AM©irn^aiia Eiaftceirpirfe© Mug Po^eHopcgdl P©irft© Mn(giiini €>^m'i Improvement in Crop, Methods of Manufacture and Quality of Goods Achieved in Few Years Caguas Factory and Warehouse 1 tlic time oi the Spanish-American War, a hustling young American, Jlarrisun Jolinson by name, landed in San Juan and in the succeeding five or six years thortjughly mastered the tobacco and cigar making business. Very few other Americans who went down at the time , only reached by comparatively narrow passes, and is well watered by several streams in addition to having frequent showers as in the case of the Cayey district. The company was particularly fortunate in securing land in these districts, as the sugar industry in Porto Kico has been making very rapid strides and the cane planters and sugar mills are buying up nearly all the available lands for their own pur- poses, and the tobacco acreage is being gradually cut down. PECULIAKITIKS OF THE ToiJAC CO SllL'ATlON'. Very few people realize the tobacco situation in Porto Rico. In Cuba there are many good independent planters who raise tobacco for the market. Jn Porto Rico this is not the case to any great extent, and the manufacturers have to very largely raise their own tobacco, and those who do not have plantations of their own often have to depend on unsatisfac- tory lots picked up from the native planters, and in consequence frequently supplement these purchases with leaf from the United States in order to secure sufficient tobacco for their out- put. The planting department is in charge of F. II. Bunker, another young American of marked ability and experience. On these plantations only selected seed is used, which is secured by marking the best plants each season and allowing them to go to seed, so that the crops each year show an improvement over the preceding one. In this way the company is steadily bettering the grade of tobacco which they produce and are es- pecially endeavoring to grow high quality fillers and wrappers suitable to the American market. THE TOBACCO WORLD 1 1 I Borinquen Plantation o( Cayey-Caguas Tobacco Co., showing shade cloth over the Tobacco Modern Conxrete Factories Now. .After securing their plantations the company next turned their attention to the erection of suitable buildings where the manufacturing of their cigars could be carried on under clean, sanitary conditions. Their first large concrete factory building was erected in 1906. and in IQ07 their concrete tobacco ware- house. These two buildngs have enabled them to store their tobacco and keep it throughout the year in good condition in spite of the tropical heat during the dry season, and the fac- tory is recognized on the Island as a model one as regards dean, sanitary conditions, and elicits the admiration of tour- ists who have visited both Cuba and Porto Rico. In TO09 the increased business of the company required the purchase of a 200-foot concrete building in San Lorenzo as a branch factory, adding greatly to the capacity of the com- panv in turning out cigars. During the entire history of the company, Mr. Johnson, the vice-president and general manager in Porto Rico, has given much of his time and attention to the evolving of a thor- ough and careful system in all parts of the factory, as well as the* plantations. The constant aim is improvement in quality and uniformitv for each size or grade of cigar turned out. The company to-dav produces thirty-four diflferent sizes and shapes. One of the most important processes is the care of the leaf after it leaves the plantations. It is first, of course, cured and dried in the tobacco sheds on the field. After this it is taken to the warehouse and piled for the fermenting or sweating process. The tobacco is piled four or five feet high with tubes running into the centre of the pile for thermometers and the temperature carefullv watched. After the heat of the fermen- T m^ Tobacco in Savarona Plantation, near Cayey, Porto Rico Rothschild Retires from Waldorf- Astona Co. WE sale by Harry S. Rothschild a few days since of his interests in the Waldorf-Astoria Segar Company, l.td. led to a statement to the effect that the business liad ])een sold in its entiretv to the American Cigar Company. At the offices of the Waldorf-Astoria Company this report was denied absolutelv, and it was stated that Mr. Rothschdd s i,iterests had been purchased by George C. Boldt, and that the business of the company would be continued precisely along the lines that it had been in the past. Merwin J. Bulkley, assistant secretary of the company, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis, is re- ported as convalescing rapidly, and expects to be at his desk in about a week. l r *u^ The Waldorf-Astoria Company control a number ot the leading popular brands of Havana, Key West and domestic cigars, including the Magnita clear Havanas Armas de Oro and Siegfried Kev West cigars, and San Moro and Boldt s special domestic brands, and in their stores they also carry, in addition to these, a full line of the finest grades of domestic and imported cigars, as well as cigarettes and smoking tobacco. The San Lorenzo Factory of the Cayey-Caguas Tobacco Co. tation gets to a certain point the piles are taken down and re- piled, and the process started over again. This goes on for about six weeks more or less, according to the grade of the to- bacco, and this process is where the tobacco can be ruined un- less the utmost care is taken. Ignorance of this important de- partment is the cause of the inferiority of many Porto Rican cigars. Problems of Marketing. In the marketing of their cigars the company has followed a uniform policy of putting out only first-class goods under all their brands. The greatest care has been taken in getting up the labels and packages, especially the "Savarona," the high- grade factory label of the company. This brand met with suc- cess from the start, although no extensive advertising campaign was carried out, the policy of the company being to put the value into the goods rather than into advertising. The cigars have been placed with first one good account and then another, and the business has grown largely on the repeat orders and on the spread of the reputation of the cigar. While the company has not done any large amount of ad- vertising, they have always endeavored to assist the trade in the marketing of their goods by furnishing window display ma- terial, and to-day they have the most attractive sets of window trimming material of any cigar concern in the business. President Hoisington believes that the interests of the man- ufacturer and the seller are mutual and has workcfl with that idea in view. He has fortunately been able to gather around him an efficient office and .selling force that endeavor to carry out the ideas and policy which have marked the company's suc- cess. New Seal for Cigar Cases Sent West Tl O meet the new requirements of the western railroads ^^ which stipulate that all cigar cases shipped to points 9^mi west of the Mississippi River shall be sealed with a '^^^ metal seal instead of the old-fashioned lead, the Inter- national Seal and Knot Protector Company has devised a new type of seal. The new shipping provisions go into eflfect May first, and the I. S. & K. P. Company has been quick to bring out a seal which will comply with the new regulations. Samples and full particulars can be obtained by cigar man- ufacturers and other shippers of cigar cases by addressing the company at 1830 West Ontario street, Philadelphia. E. S. Matteson, with twenty-two years of experience in tobacco rearing, is writing the Greater Leavenworth Club expressing a desire to come eastward to grow cigar leaf of the finer grade.

It stnick mc as hcinj; a vory simple state- nienl and yit <>ne which was full <»f truth as the ji;rc'at army of smokers tends to increase rather than diminish as the year> j^f) on, and tlie youthful aspirants to the cigarette cult have to hi- shij)herded hy the law initil they reach a certain stamlard of lej^al maturity. Tohacco. unlike liahits (jf dress, f«K)d. or other thinj^s, retains its former position practically undisturhed. It is only in the manner in which it is con- sume(| that nnich variance has heen shown from time to time. We niij^ht say that the j)resent j^eneration has seen an un- preiedeiited increase in the use of cigarettes, notwithstan means the calling int » being of more and more olificialism. and that natur.dly involves a further expen- diture of the people's money. It would scarcely seem like government by tlie i)eop1e in \U true sense, but rather the domination of the whole by a small but noisy aggregation. Certainly no one would be disposed to object to the enact- ment of laws having as its basic object the preventing of smoking by young children. Such laws are now on the statute books of many countries, but grown men in full possession of their rational minds resent attempts which are so fre- (|uently made to dej)rive them of the solace of tobacco. When the whole country is taken into consideration, little real pro- gress has been made by the anti-tobacco crank, and drop in the revenue from tobacco is probably due more largely to the pressure of other circumstances rather than the futile attacks of those who regard tobacco as an enemy of mankind, and which must be slain at all costs. W &^)^ The Cost of Doing Business. K deem it aprojxts to call attention to the fact that a very serious mistake is very often made among retail dealers, when they do not know what their real earn- ings are on their actual investments. Usually it is because items of expense have not been so carefully lfM)ked into as they should be, and besides no ])ercentage cost of iloing business has been computed with the degree of care which this all important matter should have received. (jenerallv speaking items that should be considered under this expense head might be enumerated as follows: rent, clerk hire, stationery, heating, delivery, insurance, depreciation of stock, bad accounts, lighting, advertising, taxes, wages of pro- prietor, and interest on investment. Many retailers appear to take the stand that some of the items enumerated should hardlv be included in computing the cost of doing business. A little sound reasoning, we believe, will convince them otherwise. Heat, light, clerk hire, cost of delivery, water rent, insurance, advertising, and stationery are all items which can be figured out with very little trouble, lint only too many retailers overlook the item of interest on investment. If the same amount of money or any portion of the capital which tlie retailer has invested in stock were to be loaned out he would naturally enough expect his interest, and so, for in- stance, the dealer who carries a stock of say, $5,000, should charge up as expense $.^00 per year, wdiich would be e(|uivalent to the interest upon that amount at 6 per cent, per annum. Certainlv uncollectible accounts are a feature which no re- tailer can afford to ignore, h^u-ther than this, there is always a certain amount of depreciation in stock which will show a percentage of l«)ss. Such depreciation represents loss of interest by excessive stock, as well as the loss of profit by the difference between the actual cost of the goods when pur- chased and the price at which they could be bought at the time of inventory. Loss of interest on past due accounts is also often an item which will bear scrutiny. It would ])e difficult to lay oiit a plan that would be ade- fjuate and fitting in all cases, but every retailer should figure out for his own satisfaction the actual cost of doing busi- ness, and where this has been done, retailers have been sur- prised at the small ])ercentage which their business actually showed after a correct balance sheet has been computed. THE TOBACCO WORLD J5 Heart to Heart Talk With Clerks. Till', men that are worth while back of retail counters to-day are the men who can show a profit, it doesn't matter so much about the list of articles he sells, as it tore clerk -ometime> ])roves to be a balker, and horses don"t do all the balking. .\ good clerk \\\\\ not wait for the whij). He should rehiember that whatever tlie spirit of the management is. he shouhl move with it. He is there f<»r that move, and to stand pat. A balker is a nuisance. Altogether, boys, should be the spirit. Don't be old-fashioned, only where principles come in. Two- Minute Chat With Retailers. T is admitted that money is a very important factor in business, but to the man of high ideals it is not the only factor by any means. There are many business men who have struggled along for years on a small cai)ital, and one thing is certain they have generally ac(|uired a full realization of the real value of a dollar, and may even i)lace a greater value upon it than should be. Of course, they see so many places in their own business where a little more monev would increase their profits that they nat- urally begin to think that it is cash alone which is responsible for the growth of their business, liut is that really the fact? If cash meant invariable success, then the old proverb that "a fool and his money soon part" would no longer stand. The facts as we see them, are that the man m busi- ness who depends purelv upon his cash making his success for him, is no business man at all. He must learn to classify cash along with his stock and fixtures, and understand that it must be handled with the same degree of care as the other assets of the business are handled to cause it to make money. That is the business skill which ccjunts for most in the long run \ man with i)lenty of cash can, we a.lmit, cut a wide swath in the business world for a time, but it is only for a time, unless he also has good business ability. •'World" Appreciated in Binghamton.

As a straw showing which way tlie wind is blowing, one of the largest tobacco houses in London has just sent out cir- culars to the trade announcing a reduction in prices in antici- pation of an early reduction on tobacco duty. When inter- viewed, a director of the company declined to divulge upon what facts the action of the firm was based. Among the visitors in the trade, in Philadelphia, this week, was B. M. Kratz, of George S. Miller & Co., Pottstown, I\i. Mr. Kratz stated that he was just completing preparations for a two weeks' trip to the coal region of Pennsylvania, where the firm already has considerable business, but which Mr. Kratz feels confident can be materially increased.

The body was taken charge of by the .steamship company and returned to the States on the same steamer, and soon after the arrival of the body in Chicago interment was made from Mr. Horner's late residence. Quite an active business is being done on the *'P>ing<»" Porto Kico cigars of the American W est Indies Trading Com- pany, by l>. Lett & Co., distributors of this brand in Poston. The goods arc being placerl (juite largely through the druggists of the city, and wind<»w disi)lays and other means are being used to help the sale.

He was the head of Francis Shield &' Son, a tobacco house founded sixty years ago by Adam Shields, father of the deceased.

Death of Mark Twain, the Smoker. The American newspai)ers gave much ot tiieir space on the 22n(l day of April to the lite atid deeds of Samuel l.ang- horne Clemens, known all the world over as Mark Twain, the humorist, satirist, philos- opher, and — cigar smoker. P'or twenty-live years Mark Twain has been a picturesque tigure, his hair and beard whitened by age, his figure unbent anoys could read him and laugh. mai«iens be tlirilleyrne, cashier of the Merchants' National Bank of New York; x\.

Krinsky, a manufacturer of Turkish cigarettes, 227 Bowerv\ is placing on the market a new brand called '*Egyp- tion Lotus." Mr. Krinsky has been manufacturing Turkish cigarettes for the past 22 years, his leading brands being •'JMfth Avenue" and "Egyption Heroes", which have a large sale in the ICast and Middle West. They are made of pure Turkish tobacco of superior cpiality, with plain or cork tips, as is also the new brand "Egyptian Lotus." i THE TOBACCO WORLD 19 ** United " Protests Tax on Manilas. Strong Fight Being Made to Have Duty Rescinded on Cigars Trans-shipped at Hong-Kong. DECLSION is expected shortly in the appeal made by the Cnited Cigar Stores Company from Collector Loeb's now famous decision that cigars from Manila, which were trans-shipped at I fong Kong, are not to be admitted free because they were not shipped direct. The final hearing in the case was held last week bef»>re General Appraisers Waite and Hay. of New York. Att(»rney Max E. Kohler represented the Tnited and Charles D. liaker the Government. The facts on which this suit is based are familiar to the cigar trade of this country. The law admitting Philippine cigars free i)rovi(les that the goods nnist come by direct ship- ment, which clause was construed to mean "a continuous voy- age and in one bottom." The United's first shi])ment was sent from Manila to Hong-Kong and there transferred to another ship, which landed the goods at San hVancisco. This consign- ment was admitted free by the Customs officials, before the Government realized that the new law l^ad been violated. Suit was then instituted against the United to recover the duties. Meantime, a similar consigmnent. which was also trans- shipped, arrived in New York and (^)llector Loeb assessed them at the full duty of $4.50 and 25% ad valorum. The New York shijnnent comprised 250,000 cigars, valued at $3,300. from which a duty was collected of $17,000. The principal witness at the hearing in New ^'ork was Vice-president William T. I'osey, who declared that a great in- justice had been done the company by the imposition of a duty. He averred that the transferring of cigars from one vessel to another in Hong-Kong did not violate the interpretation of the law since these goods were not landed, and t(j all intents and purposes were shipped direct. Sig. Sichel, of Sig. Sichel t!^' Co.. of Portland. ( )regon. who recently spent a week in New York, returned to his I'ortland office in time to meet E. P. Cc^rdero and Col. Levine. who were covering tlie Pacific Coast, and reached INirtland on \])ril 24th. Mr. Sichel's finn is the largest distributing house in Portland, in addition to which they control several high class retail stores. They are also distributors for the E. P. Cordero brands. "Mi Hogar" and "La Superior." Mr. Cordero and Col. Levine are making excellent head- way on their journey and will probably return to New York ahead of their scheduled time. Jacob Rosenstadt, of Rosenstadt & Jacobs, returned from his Havana trip in time to shake hands and say good-bye to his partner, Louis Jacobs, who left New York on .April 15th for a two months' trip through Canada and British Columbia, and out as far as Victoria. This enterprising firm, wdiich. by the way, only started in business last July, have built up a very prosperous trade on TLavana and Sumatra as well as foreign tobaccos, including Domingo. St. Eelix and Carmen. South American, tobaccos, making a specialty of Canada and I'ritish Columbia. They have outgrown their old quarters at 3 Burl- ing Slip, and on May ist took the first floor at 148 Water street. A. W. Lennox, of Manrara Bros.. 89 W^ater street, left New York on April 20th for New York State and the Middle West, going out as far as Denver. He will call on the trade generally and meet his salesmen on this territor\'. The "Mi Election" and "Infallible" brands are their leaders, while the "Rivoli" is increasing its popuarity. The latter brand, how- ever, is placed in special .sections only and does not have the general distribution as the former. Mr. Lennox expects to be away from four to six weeks. The A. T. Company Will Stand Increases. HE American Tobacco Company's announcement that it will stand the increased taxes efl^ective July 1st next and will add nothing to the prices now pre- vailing has caused considerable comment. \\\ able force of auditors are already ai work to figure out the effect of increased taxation in all branches of the American Tobacco Company's business, and assurance is given that there will be no change in the weight, size or price of their brands of plug and twist tobacco following the new law. nor would there be on any of their tobaccos affected by this tax. The statement is made that the American Tobacco Com- pany will suflfer themselves by increased taxation not less than frvun $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 a year and that in no instances will consumers pay any more ft)r the company's brands than they are paying now. Ruth & Driscoll, brokers and special representatives of R. G. Sullivan, manufacturer of "7-20-4" cigars, have removed their offices from 136 Water street to larger and more com- modious (|uarters at 168 Water street. They are at present very much interested in the new Sumatra, and as usual watch- ing out for Mr. Sullivan's interests. E. Kleiner & Co. have added a new brand, "La Eamosa", to their list of popular sellers. It is a seed and Havana of excellent (juality, and altlnMigh oidy locally distributed at pres- ent, it promises to become one of the leading factors with this house. Herz Brothers have issued a notice to the trade this week, that after ALay ist they will be located in new and commodious offices at 139 Front street. This house, which is an old one, does both an importing and jobbing business in leaf tobacco. J. B. Henny, 46 Cedar street. New York ; C. F. De Lords and Walter J. Masterson, of 80 Wall street.

I'hiiadolphia. has just been reorjjanizod. Natlian Schwah. who has Inon president since the orj^anizati<»n of this company in i<;<)4. retires from active connection with the comi)any, but will still retain his office and financial interest. C. FI. Kors. the secretary, is well known to the trade and is n(tt only an experienced manufacturer, but a business man of unusual ability. Temple J. F.nglish. who has been manager of the Philadelj)hia branch factory of the American Cij^ar Comj>any for a number of years and is familiar with every detail of the cipjar business, has become treasurer of the com- pany. Amonjj the first moves made since the reorfranization, has been the enjj^aj^'omont of E. R. Dempsey to act as sales man- af^er. Mr. Dempsey is in close tcnich with the trade and was formerly in business for himself under the name of Dempsey &' Koch. It is his intention to travel considerably and he will have associated with him a corps of efficient salesmen. Res|X)ndin}:;^ to the demands of the trade, the Cores-Mar- tinez Company has just put on the market a brand which has been well named "Dignifico." The "Dij^nifico" is made in the Invincible size and is a high-class smoke. Tt can be sold with profit by retailor at six cents during the week and oflfered on Fridays and Saturdays at five for twenty-five cents. In addition- to the "Dignifico" brand, the Cores-Martinez Company will maintain the standard quality of their other well known brands, the "V. Ps," "John W'cavcr" and "Convinci- dad," which are having a tremendous sale nowadays in all parts of the country. With the changes above outlined and an ambition tf) make a new record, the Cores-Martinez Company is likely to be hoard from in no uncertain wav wMthin the next vear. A. Ebbling to Act as Distributor. A. l^l)bli!ig. formerly manager of the Waldorf-Astoria branch cigar shop in Philadelphia, has launched into business for himself an«l has opened offices at toii Chestnut street. Mr. Ebbling will act as distributor for several well-known brands of cigars, including the "El Gallego", wdiich was one of the E. G. Stean & Company's best sellers. United Cigar Stores Company Selling Plant. Wf*! notice in the show windows of the United Cigar .Stores Company at several of its branches in West Philadelphia and at Third and Market streets, of- fering a five-cent package of "Woodcock" tobacco free with a tent-cent purchase, in addition to which they are also issuing a 25-cent certificate with each ten-cent purchase. In West Philadelphia, in particular, they are offering the usual five-cent packages of tobacco with extra rebates, which reduce the goods in actual cost to 42 cents a dozen. While the regular price to dealers from jobbers of these same goods is 48 cents per dozen, conse(|uently retail dealers can afford to stop at ITnited Stores and procure a rlozen packages of tobacco and get it at a lower cost than they can supply themselves with it by going to jobbers. The 25-ccnt purchase certificate repre- sents a trading value of 2^ cents, or a cash redeeming value of i^ cents. Two hundred and fifty of these certificates will procure a Gillette safety razor, which is universally sold at $s.oo. Vetterlein*s Opinion of Wisconsin Leaf. Mr. Julius Vetterlein, of the leaf packing firm of J. Vet- terlein & Co., returned recently from a tour of inspection through Wisconsin. Mr. Vetterlein announces that he is very much pleased with their packing of 1909 Wisconsin tobaccos, and that it is, in his opinion, the thinnest and most serviceable leaf of any packng in recent years. The Vetterlein packing this year consists of a considerable quantity and is believed will be sufficient to meet fully the growing trade of this house. In referring to this firm, we might mention that their several salesmen have recently showed considerable activity and that the house now has four men on the road. G. W. Kreider continues to represent the house in Eastern Pennsyl- vania, making his headtjuarters at Reading. C. P. Bratton, with headquarters at Harrisburg, is also a Vetterlein repre- sentative, who has a good list of patrons in the territory cov- ered by him. M. Brock, one of the oldest salesmen with this house, and whose head(|uarters are at the main office in this city, covers not only Philadelphia, but also Baltimore and other points. R. B. Gibson, who more recently joined the Vetter- lein sales force, is traveling through New York State. Mr. Gibson was formerly a member of the firm of Gibson & Aubrey, of Baltimore. I THE TOBACCO WORLD 21 Distributing ** Peermont *' Cigars. Of the numerous brands of clear Havana cigars ofTered in this city, none has, perhaps, made more substantial progress during the past six months than the "Peermont" Key West- made cigar, distributed by Joseph Way, the well-known Mar- ket street purveyor of "good smokes." The cigars are not only being strongly featured at the several retail establishments conducted by him, but are finding, according to all reports, favor among patrons of well-known local hotels, prominent clubs, cafes, etc., while the better class of retail dealers also find an increase in demand for these goods. Mr. Way carries in stock large quantities and supplies the trade direct in any of the numerous sizes in which the goods are made up. Tlie label adorning the package containing "Peermont" cigars are probably not quite so pretentious as are being used by some matuifacturers, but Mr. Way says the (|uality is all there. Hagen's New Stogie Line. Arthur Hagen & Co., manufacturers' distributing agents, have relinquished the account of Marcus Eeeder Cigar Com- pany, of Cleveland, and have taken the sellitig agency of the Independent Tobacco Company, of Pittsburgh, who make a large line of stogies. Local salesmen are now earnestly at work on this new line, and the results obtained during the first week of their operation are, we are informed, quite gratifying. The Hagen people claim that this line represents all that could be desired in quality, style of package and liberality of adver- tising matter. The "Monolite" self-lighting cigarettes are continuing to be a good seller with this firm. A very elaborate electric dis- play sign is being erected in the display window of the I loch Cigar store at 24 North Tenth street, to advertise the "Mono- lite" products. New Package of United States Tobacco Co. "Jack" Fowler, general representative of the United States Tobacco Company, of Richmond, Va., but whose head- (juarters are in Philadelphia, announces some new sizes In packages. Their "Alumni" is now being put up in addition to the former one and two-thirds ounce in eight and sixteen- ounce boxes. The "Alumni" brand is one of the most at- tractive packages now on the market. Their "Saratoga Chips" brand, which is also a sliced plug tobacco, but which has here- tofore been oflfered in nothing smaller than a four-ounce tin box, is now being packed in an exact duplicate in a two- ounce form. Both of these new sizes of packages are taking very well in this city and elsewhere, and Mr. Fowler feels fully confident of a largely increased sale of the goods. Leaf Men Preparing for Hartford. In addition to the delegates and alternates mentioned in our last issue, we learn that they will be joined by a goodly number of additional members of the trade, among whom will be Mr. Julius Vetterlein, of J. X'etterlein & Co., accompanied by his son, Theodore Herman Vetterlein. It is now planned that the Philadelphia delegates will join the Lancaster delega- tion at Philadelphia and are scheduled to leave Broad Street Station at 12.20 noon on Sunday, May 8th, which will enable them to reach Hartford shortly after 6 o'clock of the same day. The Philadelphia delegates will be located at the Allyn House during their stay at Hartford. The El Draco Cigar Manufacturing Company, at Second and Arch streets, are much pleased with the way in which their goods are taking, and announce that recently they succeeded in having them placed on sale at such prominent places as the Union League, Bellevue-Stratford and Walton Hotels. Leaf Trade Shows Improvement. A tone of considerable imprnvoment was prevalent in tho leaf tobacco trade during the last few days. \ot only were inquiries coming in more fre(|Uontly. but buyers were als«i ap- parently looking more eagerly over the market, with a view t«» procuring some additional suj)plies. Prices, however, were !H)t materially aflfected, yet it is enc«niraging that a nuich bettor feeling has begun to prevail. Among the visitors in the market recently we observed tho following: H. Reineman. representing Otto Malchow \' C«»., at New York; S. L. Johns, leaf tobacco packer at Ilannvor, Pa.; Julius Lichtenstein, of I. Lichtenstoin &• Co., of Xow York, and J. H. Hoober. packer, (tf Lancaster, Pa. Change in Cigar Manager. Owing to the resignation of Jose[)h .Anderson, of tho cigar department of E. Bradford Clark iK- Co.. Mr. K. R. P.arrott has been chosen to fill his place, and has entered ui>on his duties this week. Although a comparative stranger in Phila- delphia, Mr. Barrett is by no means now in the cigar business, and will no doubt make many new friends here. Mr. Ander- son relinquished the position, which he so ably filled, to join the sales forces of tho Xestor Cianaclis Company, of Boston. Mass., makers of the well-known " Nestor" b'gyptian cigarettes. Record Sale of Havana Leaf. A new record was established during tho past week in the sale of Havana tobacco by one of Philadelphia's largest im- porting houses to a manufacturing firm. The sale is reported to be the largest single transaction in Havana tobacco of the year, and consisted of a large quantity of high-class leaf, rep- resenting the most careful selection of the house which haros. & Co. W. S. Luckett, of Luckett, Lucks &- Lipscomb, recently returned from a flying trip through the West, but during which he opetied several desirable new accounts. The sale of the firm's "Luxollo" cigar in this city continues to show a steady increase, and .April records promise to eclii)sc all pre- vious months. Cigar flepartment manager, Charles I. Reis, with the Iwans's drug store. 1010-12 Market street, now has a new as- sistant in the person oi Lmil Schrock. Mr. Schrock was for- merly engaged in the retail business at I*'ifth street and (iirar«l avenue. 29 THE TOBACCO WORLD 'iv.**.?*- Tampa, Fla., April 25th. ( yy even the throes of an excitinj:^ nuinicipal election cotild (listiirh the even tenor of the excellent bnsi- ness which the clear Havana factories in this city are enjoying, the season of the year taken into con- sideration. The report is universally optimistic from the various manufacturers that 19 fo. spring business, and summer, fall and winter outlook is the hrij^ditest ever experienced in this city. The receipts of tobacco from Havana, since April 11, totalled 1.732 bales— a grand total for the month (to date) of 4.440 bales. Samuel I. Davis, of "El Sidelo" fame, has been in the city for the j)ast week inspecting the factorn. The Texans are hearing of big money made out of to- bacco j)lanting and they intend to have some of it. They have heard of Sumatra wrapping leaf fetching from 40 cents to $2.50 per iKjund, and the statement is made that Chicago and luistern wholesale agents are now in Texas contracting to take, her product at prices between the figures named. It goes without saying that the Yankee is in evidence in these Texas tobacco regions. He is down there from Penn- sylvania and even from Connecticut and he wants to grow some of that tbacoco at $2.50 per pound. The Texans say he can come down and make all he chooses. T Robert Eester. who is mentioned as one of the bright young men of Ouincy, Illinois, has taken the road for R. K. Shaw's tobacco factory. The United States Supreme Bench. HE great cases of the American Tobacco Company and the Standard Oil Company before the Supreme Court of the United States will be heard the next time they are argued by a bench augmented in the person of Governor diaries E. Hughes, of the State of New York. This eminent lawyer was appointed April 25th by President Taft to succeed the late Justice Brewer. It is a great tribute when we say that Mr. Hughes was one of the few men who could fill Justice Brewer's shoes. Just what Justice Brewer's belief or decision was in re- gard to the tobacco case there seems to be no means of know- ing. It was reported that he favored imposing certain re- strictions which would allow the American Tobacco Company to carry on its various businesses, but this is only surmised. Justice Moody, of Massachusetts, has been so low in health of late that he did not hear any of the argument on the Standard ( )il and American Tobacco issues. At present there are three Democrats on the Bench, Chief Justice Iniller. Justices White and Lurton, though what class of Democrats they are is not known by the public; the Republi- cans are Justices Harian, McKenna, Holmes, Day and Moody, they are supposed to l^e of the "stand-pat class", not "insur- gents." White and McKenna are Roman Catholics; the others arc Protestants of various denominations. The cigar factory of William Tegg, 937 Dubois street, Detroit, Mich., was visited by safe burglars last month with strange results. Enough nitro-glycerine was used to huri the safe out of its place through a window and across the street. Doors were blown open, windows were shattered and adja- cent buildings shaken. The safe door, en route across the street, stnick an office typewriter and smashed it good. The safe contained cash and checks to the value of $1,100, but so great was the explosion that the thieves hurried out without opening the inner door and did not even take time to remove their tools. A. A. Selsby, late of Idaho, is opening a cigar factory in the town of Hood River, Oregon. THE TOBACCO WORLD 23 The Temperament of Different Buyers. Advice to Tobacco Salesmen on How to Handle the Various Types, RAVELERS for cigar manufacturers and jobbers, like all other knights of the road, are confronted ever>' day with all types of retail buyers. The suc- cessful salesman knows that the first essentials to obtaining big orders are that he should kiu)w his line and be able to size up his man. It is taken for granted that the sales- man knows his line, and starting from this premise, the next job is to size up his man. This is easier said than done. James F. Tobin, who has given the (juestion of salesman- ship considerable study, vouchsafes the following observa- tions: "Talk to the average buyer you meet on the road about psychology, physiognomy or temperament, and his answer will depend on his breeding and your apparent phvsical ability to resent impertinent remarks. The ordinary analvsis of a pros- pect is either that he is a fine fellow or a 'damgrouch,' meaning that he has been accorded an agreeable reception or the reverse. "Without entering deeply into the (luestion as to whether or not physiognomy and phrenology funiish such infallible in- dications of character as their followers assert, yet it must be admitted that a man's exterior is in some directions an almost infallible criterion by which to judge whether or not he pos- sesses certain qualities. The 'highbrows' have divided the tem- peraments into three classes: The Phlegmatic, the Nervous and the Sanguine, each of which has certain marked physical characteristics. THE PHLEGMATIC BUYER. "The phlegmatic man is generally full-blooded, heavy- featured and slow of speech. Like every rule, this one has its exceptions, but, generally speaking, such a man thinks slowly. This trait has its advantages and disadvantages. Among the latter is the tendency to confine his conversations to such scin- tillating linguistic gems as 'Eh huh,' 'Um-m-m,' 'Yes?' *No!' Ordinarily this type of verbal constipation is looked upon as being baffling, giving no clue as to whether an impression is being made or not. This manner of receiving a salesman's ar- guments generally indicates a lack of mental alertness, which to the salesman is the advantage referred to above. The phleg- matic man thinks slowly; it may be his conclusions are sound when reached, but his mental processes are such that a chance word in the presenting of an argument is not likely to suggest ideas of an entirely different nature and distract his attention from what is being said. "This affords the opportunity for a careful presentation of the salesman's arguments, and permits of considerable elab- oration of detail. Begin at the l^eginning, and let each argu- ment support the other, gauging their rapidity of utterance to just about the utmost receptivity of the prospect, and their cumulative effect, coupled with a few strong 'reasons why' at the finish, will generally gain the desired order. "The fact that the phlegmatic man is. not likely to receive radically new ideas (|uickly or with enthusiasm, points out at once the path of least resistance for the .salesman. The pros- pect is in business to make money. That will be always his dominant idea. Appeal to his desire for gain — what you are selling will make money for him. Stick to that, and if what you are selling is a good business proposition the rest is easy. HOW TO REACH TPIE NERVOUS BUYER. "The nervous type of man must be approached altogether differently. He is generally of slender physi(|ue. thin and white- faced. He thinks rapidly, generally in jerks'. One chance word will bring to his mind with lightning speed a dozen ideas all extraneous to the subject at hand. To get his attention and hold it, your arguments must be presented tersely but sugges- tively. That is to say, be brief, but let every sentence be so I'lll.KiiMAI K NERVOI K. SANl.l IKK, framed as to contain the germ of an argument which will de- velop ni his fertile mind and keep it busy. Your apparent con- fidence in his ability to see without having every detail pointed out to him causes him unconsciously to regard you as a person of superior judgment, which is a very goalesman to indulge in a little introspective analysis of his own. A careful mental review of the past successes and failures, especially the failures, will probaby show him the part played by his own temperament. Conflict of temperament, and the failure on the salesman's part to modify the expression of his, is the exj)lanation of many of the failures to .sell, for which there was apparently no reason. "The experienced buyer, trained to the wiles of the sales- man, and ever ready to resist his blandishments, can hide his feelings of the moment under the mask of conventi(mal polite- ness, but his temperament, the basic element of his nature, is visible above and beyond his best eflforts and therefore indi- cates the avenue t(i be traveled to reach the desired goal- orders." The capital stock of the Pcregoy-Moon Cigar Comnanx . of St. Joseph. Mo., has been increased from $30,000 to $60,000. 24 THE TOBACCO WORLD Important Changes in Milwaukee. Business Continues Fair -Special Displays Featured — Local Trade Notes. Milwaukee, Wis., April 26th, 1910. SI I'A'I^KAL important changes have taken place during the past week. The Wells Building store, which ggg' J'ay Lewis & Hro. Cu. purchased from the creditors of Isidore Lederer about a year ago, has been sold to .Sieve .Surman & Co. This is one of the largest stores in this city, and under the management of Mr. Surman should prove to be one (jf the best. Alfred Reinfield, who has been connected with the store for some months, will remain, having accepted a position with the new owners. Mr. Ralph Weltstein, who has been man- ager of the store since it was purchased, will be transferred to the wholesale department of h'ay Lewis & Hro., being as- signed to a part of the city district. His many friends regret iiis departure from the retail end of the business. hred L. Jlerwig celebrated his fifth anniversary as owner of the iMuuitain Jnn by closing a lease on the DavidsoTi H(jtel, one of the leading hotels in the city. JLxtensive improvements are contemplated. The College Inn, which has been conducted with good success by Schneider & Stark, has been sold to Harlan Zea, one of the most popular men about town. Under his man- agement the inn has a l)right future. ( )wing to inclement weather, business among the local dealers has been rather quiet. Surman & Co. have been doing a fair business. The tirm, who are already enjoying a good jobbing business, will shortly begin extensive advertising of the "1 Jingo" five-cent cigar. I business at the Wells lUiilding store of hay, Lewis & l'>ro. Co. has been slow, the masterpiece has been on display in the windijw. The I'abst liuilding store of this tirm continues to enjoy a good business, the "Rio Vista" and "The Limit" are being featured this week. The Fifth street store is enjoy- ing a fair trade. Harry Coulee, formerly at the Wells Build- ing store, is now greeting old friends here. The Abraham stores all report fairly gor with the stores in which they have already placeil same. Baker Bros, are placing on this market "El \'erso."a 10- cent cigar, from the Diesel- Wemmer to., makers i^i the "San I'Vlice" cigar. Motter & Guernsey, the cigarists at 2(>j W ashingloii street, who embarked in this line about two montJis agt). have decided to retire from business, as the venture proveears g<><)d looking, but as the packing was started under unfavorable circumstances by wetting the roof and sides of the drying house and lUK)r and thus creating an artificial moisture within, which allowed the tobacco to be handled, bundled and then thrown int<» piles, the tlry weather outside was against a good, healthy fermentation, as well as a drawback in the pack- ing operation. W hile force sweating in the United States has given g(H)d results, the same does not hold true in this island, and former experiments made have proven disastrous after- wards. Vor this reason competent judges claim that tobacco handled under such contlitions is apt to go back and may remain raw in the bales. The dry weather was finally broken in the country by some g(M)d showers on the i8th and 19th insts., but as the atmosphere turned dry again on the 20th of this month, the wideawake farmer will wait until we have had good heavy rainfalls for a week, or three days at least, before taking the leaves down and l)un353 " (( Decrease in 1910, 9,313,873 The Centennial Exposition to be held in the South Amer- ican Republics of Argentina, Uruguay and Chili, may stimulate exports of cigars to these countries, as it is expected that a large crowd of visitors will find time enough to enjoy our fragrant Havana cigars, thus recompense the falling oft' to other countries to some extent. H. Upmann & Company continue to receive fair o.-dcrs from all the j)rincipal consuming countries and report tliat the factory is quite busy. Charles Landau, tlieir L'nited .States and Canadian representative, is showing his "mettle" by sending repeat calls of the last shipments. La Dili(/riiiiti reports the same good news as far as steady calls are concerned from the I'nited States, ICurope, Canary Islands and .^outh Africa, as well as Australia and South Amer- ica. Don lUirnardo Moreda is expected to return to-ilay from his trip to San Diego de Los Ranos. Por Larranaga is contemplating to move into larger (|uar- ters, as its present factory is evidently not large enough for its growing business. The cigarettes "Nouvelles," all-tobacco, five inches long, packed in a "catchy" package of 25, have met with good success here, and the managers hope that their active representative, D. Jacobs, will also introduce them successfully in the United States. Henr}' Clay and I'ock & Company report satisfactory con- ditions in all of their factories, as the demand is fully e<|ual to their expectations. While the business of El Credito is normal, this factt)ry is in receipt of some fair orders, and seem to please their cus- tomers, both old and new. The cigar is a g(X)d one, and should enjoy extensive popularity when it is better known. Other factories which are working steadily are: Romeo y Julieta, Flor de P. A. Estanillo. La Esception, Partagas, Cas- taneda, Redencion, Carlos E. Beck & Co. and Figaro. Buying, Selling, and Other Notes of Interest. Sobrinos de A. Gonzales sold 397 bales, "Vuelta Abajo" and "Remedios". B. Spector was a buyer of 500 bales of "Vuelta Abajo". Femando, Fernandez & I Ins, were sellers of 3a) bales of "Vuelta Abajo". Alec Goldsclimidt purciia.^ed close (»n to 500 bales of leaf tobacco. A. M. Calzada & Co. sold 300 bales of "Vuelta Abajo" to local manufacturers. Jacob Rosenstadt, having come on a pleasure trip with his bride, did not devote any time to business to speak of. Puente Granda & Co. closed out 300 bales of "Vuelta Abajo". According to a circular dated April i8th. the firm has been dissolved, as the contract of its limitation had expired. Don Jose C. Puente will contimie under his own name at the old stand, at Principe Alfonse, 166-170. Robert Middlemas, of Walters & Co., London, left after a month's stay for his home in England. He had placed some very good orders for cigars with many of our manufacturers. Perez & Obeso sold 200 bales of "X'uelta Abaja". M. Herzog executed several orders for leaf tobacco for his customers. Rodriguez, liaustista & Co. turned over 200 bales of "Reme- dios". Leslie Pantin, after a very busy season, leaves to-day per S/S "Havana" for a very well earned vacation, with his family for Europe, via New York. Other sellers of leaf tobacco were: Herrera, Calmet & Co., Jose Menendez, Antonio Suarez, Planas & Co., Gonzalez Benitez & Co., Perez y Hnos, and Aixala & Co. The most important shippers of leaf tobacco were: Leslie Pantin, Sylvester & Stern, H. Upmann & Co., Boning & Co., Charies Blasco, J. F. Bemdes & Co., Heinrich Neuberger, and Michaelson and Prasse. Jose Menendez has moved his office and leaf tobacco ware- house from 26 Principe Alfonse to 102 Galiano street, where he will give his usual close attention to orders confided to him. Receipts of tobacco from the country were: For fortnight ending April ist, /y/o.

While in Havana. Mr. Smith will stay at Hotel Sevilla. and will be in constant touch with the toi)acco men of th.1t city. L. L. Howard, chief entomologist of the United States Department of Agriculture, recently became interested in Mr. Smith's invention, and after a series of experiments pronouncetl it one of the most useful devices that has ever been offered for the destroying of the tobacco pest. New Factory for Columbus, Ohio. John Foerster, of Columbus, O., formerly in charge of the Sprague cigar factory in the penitentiary, has organized the I''oerster Cigar Company, of Marysville. ( ).. and is pre|)aring to open a large plant in that town ft)r the maiuifacture of stogies and cheap cigars. Carl L. Jeflferson. of Columbus, is associated with Mr. F(H'rster. The comf)any will employ about 200 hands and has already leased a building in Marysville for a factory, and will soon have its products f>n the market. Vaughan-Ware Co. in Richmond. Frank D. Ware intends moving the plant of the old Ware- Kramer Tobacco Company to Richmond, \^i., early this month. The new Vaughan-Ware Company have taken a lease of the old Isaac Vaughan factory at South Tenth street, Rich- mond, and intend doing a large independent cigarette making business. They will make the "White Roll" cigarette and ex- pect to put out forty salesmen on the road. I. N. Vaughan, of Richmond, is president. Big Cigar Shipments from Denver. What is declared to l)e the largest shipment of cigars ever made from a Western State went out of Denver last month for Northwestern points from the Solis cigar factory. The ship- ment comprised 10,700 boxes of cigars of 25 to the box; total 257,000 cigars. The wise guy who sent out the press dispatch figured that if laid end to end the cigars wouM make a string 857,500 feet long, or over 143 miles. To Raise Broad Leaf at Suffield. At SuflField, Conn., it is stated that a number of growers up there have arranged to raise broad leaf this year instead of Havana seed, owing to the demand for the broad tyi)e of to- bacco. A large section of the farmers, however, will stick to Havana, believing the soil better adapted to that type of weed. The Cigar Makers' International Union is one labor or- ganization which delivers the goods, so to speak, and really helps those who pay into its treasury. It seems to be not so busy instituting strikes as it does in filling its treasury for the benefit of its members, both in life and in death. This is ajv parent when it is shown that up to the last accounting it hark; John Swisher, of Swisher Bros., of Newark, Ohio, and .Samuel P.rudno, of Cleveland. Philip Pretzfeld, of Pretzfeld & Company, New York, re- turned to his home on Saturday last quite ill, although he kept up his customary routine of work each day until the end of the week. John Slater, of John Slater & Company, recently visited factory headcjuarters here, but returned some days ago to his home at Washington, Pa. The S. R. Moss Cigar Company has good reason to feel elated with the hearty reception that is being accorded the introduction of their latest creation, the "El Mosico" brand of nickel cigars. This product has been favorably received wher- ever it has ben offered, and some very substantial orders have been taken. Quite a social affair took place in Lancaster last week, when Miss Mary R. Bard, niece of R. S. Brubaker, president of the Conestoga National Bank and a prominent leaf tobacco packer, was married to Charles S. Brennenan, of New York City. The wedding took place at Mr. Brubaker's home, and among the guests was Mr. G. W. Spitzner, a member of the firm of C. H. Spitzner & Son, extensive packers and dealers in leaf tobacco in New York. A donation of $2000 was recently made the St. James Episcopal Church of this city by the widow of the late J. Gust Zook in the form of a robing room for the choir, as a memorial to her late husband. A writ of replevin for forty- four cases of leaf tobacco was recently issued against John H. Greenley, trading as the lona Tobacco Company, by S. J. Kohler, trading as the University Cigar Leaf Tobacco Company. The tobacco is valued at $1350.19, and the complainant alleges that he purchased the tobacco but was refused possession of it. Factories All Clean at Louisville. The tobacco factory inspections made by Dr. Ed. Grant, I lealth OflFicer at Louisville, Ky., discloses conditions that are highly pleasing to the authorities. Of the American Tobacco Company's factories Dr. Grant said that the conditions under which the stemmers work are as favorable as those in the best factories in the city. Ample toilet facilities for males and females, dressing-rooms well en- closed and excellent ventilation were found in all the plants. The factories are as healthy as The Seelbach. A sample of the artesian well water supplied the workers was taken by the inspectors and will be analyzed by City Cheipist Dr. Vernon Robins. Two hundred thousand pounds of tobacco owned by the Burley Tobacco Company and the Lawrenceburg Supply Com- pany were destroyed by fire at Lawrenceburg, Ky., early in April. The loss is estimated at, approximately, $75,000. THE TOBACCO WORLD 31 Pacific Coast Trade Taking Many Cigars. San Francisco Dealers Waiting, but Others are Buying — More Manillas on Way. San Francisco, April 25th, 1910. Tl HE retailers of San Francisco are playing a waiting I game. It was confidently believed at the first of the year that the slot machines would soon be back on the counters, and more new stands have been open- ing all the time with this exi>ectation. There are too many jn the business to permit more than a few to prosper without the macnines, but they are still barred out, causing a conditit»n which is unsatisfactory all around. The wise ones say that the machines will soon be allowed to return, and when they do there is little doubt that the local trade will at once get on its feet again. Country business has been uniformly good, and is still so in most localities, though buying has been interrupted in some places by anti-saloon agitation. In the communities which have gone dry, however, it is found that the cigar business quickly readjusts itself, and there is little to fear as to the ultimate out- come. Travelers returning from more distant points in the coast territory report conditions unusually prosperous, and feel assured thai this market will consume more cigars of Eastern and Cuban make this year than ever before, notwith- standing the importations from the Orient. The San Francisco trade is taking great interest in the plans for the Panama-Pacific Exposition, which it is believed will be held in San Francisco on the completion of the Panama Canal in 191 5. The Retail Cigar Dealers' Association has is- sued a circular to its members, urging them to use their efforts in promoting the exposition and to attend a meeting and ban- quet this week, when addresses will be given by prominent business men on the benefits to be gained from having such a fair in this city. Frank H. Ray, vice-president of the American Tobacco Company, is stopping in San Francisco this week. The local market is still largely overstocked with Manila goods, and much of the stock on hand is found very hard to move. The standard lines, however, still find a fair outlet in the local trade, and are in good demand in the East, shipments continuing on a large scale. H. L. Judell & Co. expect a large shipment of Manila cigars on the next steamer from the Orient, and report a strong and increasing demand for the La Union goods all over the Coast. They have so far sold the bulk of their goods in this territory, and while they have sent some to Eastern houses they are not prepared to go after that business very strongly. They have the general agency for La Lucabana Manila cigarettes in this country, and expect (|uite a lot of them within the next week or two. It is expected that Manila cigarettes will be im- ported on a fairly large scale from now on, as the misunder- standing in regard to the revenue has been straightened out, and the factories are making goods which can be profitably imported. The first shipments will be used to fill orders, and it is believed that a sufficient market can be built up for the goods to absorb all that are likely to be brought in. Emil Judell, of II. L. Judell & Co., has just returned from a trip up the California coast, where he found conditions very encouraging. J. L. Hopkins, outside man for this company, has been confined t(3 his bed for some time by a severe illness, but expects to be back in the harness in a few days. E. C. Bondy, of Bondy & Lederer, of New York, accom- panied by Mr. Dalton, the Western representative, is visiting the trade on the Coast. Mr. Bondy reports prosperous con- ditions all over the territory, and believes the outlook for the year is very bright. The Edw. Wolf Company is still short of its Havana lines, "El Tnfinito" and "Don .\ntonio," and is getting in goods by express to fill the current orders. diaries Matthea.s & Co., Calili>rnia agents for E. Regens- burg Cv Sons, are entertaining .\I. Kegeu^burg. riiey are tlo- ing energetic w»>rk with the *Amcrican" cigar, >ales of which are keeping up to the usual standard. Arthur Meyer, Coast representative of lUistillo Bros. & Diaz, is now in Salt Lake Citv. and will return bv the Northern route, vi>iting the trade along the way. William lara is now working on the road for Ehrman Bros. \' Co. in the interest of **Condax" cigarettes. 1). II. Moulsdale. repre>enting Sanche/ vS. llaya, has re- turned East after a visit to the Coa>t trade. The I b)tTman-.Mo<>re l\>mpany lias ju^t received a large shipment of goods from h'ritz Bros., of Cincinnti, the greater part of which are needed to fill orders already btniked. The company was visited last week by Mr. Friedman, of the Charles Morris Comi)any. who placed with them tlie agency for "La Integridad" braiul. The 1 lofYman-Moore Company is making good progress, and is adding to its sales organization. Joe liotlman is spending the week in the country north of the bay. S«>1. Arkush. re|)reseiuing the Martinez-Havana Com- pany, is now working in Arizona, but will arrive here in a few days, and expects to spend some time among the dealers of central California. r. 1). Becker, the specialty man sent out from the factt)ry to work witii 11. kinaldo iK: Co. in building iij) the trade for the "La \'ega*' cigar of Celestino Vega & Co., has l)een here for several weeks, and as a result Mr. Rinaldo rept>rts a consider- able increase in the sales of that line. Arthur Samuel, who has a chain of stores in Stockton, Sacramento and h>esno, Cal.. has just signed a lease on a building which will be erected at the corner of K and Eighth streets. Sacramento, lie will occui>y the ground floor with a large cigar establishment, sub-letting the upper stories. Bier, Saalburg iK: Co. have taken up the agency for the "Sam .Sloan" cigar of Samuel I. Davis & Co. Max Fleishman, a former dealer of Bakersfield, Cal.. has opened there again under the name of Max I'Meishman & Co.. and intends to specialize on the dunst lines. lie believes there is a great future before liakersfield, as the oil industry, of which it is the center, is the leading business of the State at present. Alexander Herbert, of Philij) Morris &- Co.. has left for the East after a short visit to the dealers in San Francisco. s Burns up Tobacco Stock; Quits Business. Conscience-Stricken Groccr>man Decides It's Evil to Sell the Weed in Any Form. Danville, 111.. .April 25. rDI)F''\LY smitten by his conscience with the belief that it is evil to .sell cigars and tol)acco, Edward lUiy, proprietor of the East ICnd grocery store, gath- ered all his stock of cigars, cigarettes and to- bacco, piled them in an immense pyre in the middle of the street and set fire to them. The bonfire attracted hundreds of people, and it was with difficulty that the |)olice kept mischiev- ous boys from purloining packets of cigarettes and plugs of tobacco from the burning mass. Incidentally, the bonfire acted as a very clever advertisement for the store. When asked why he had decided to discontinue selling tobacco in any form. Mr. Buy explained that he believed the use of tobacco a filthy habit and injurious, especially to boys and young men. He placed tobacco in the class of alcohol, cocaine and opium, and stated that his example as a Sunday School superintendent, in selling tobacco, was a bad one and, that after some years of profit taking, he felt guilty of wrong- doing. So he decided to (|uit the business entirely and confine his sales alone to groceries. It is denied that sand is ever found in any sugar sold in the Buy store. 32 THE TOBACCO WORLD T Effect of Caution Label Ruling. III'! new ruliiij; t>\ the Conimissioner of Internal Rev- enue perniitlinj; the printinj^ of caution notices di- rectly ui)on cij^ar boxe^ instead of bein^^ printed first upon paper and then hein^^ pasted ui)on the boxes, does not seem to have met witii the hearty response by box manufacturers as its i)roj;enitor had evidently expected and h<»i)ed for. According to a Western contemporary some cigar- box maiuifacturers are really almost up in armss over the recent action of the commissioner. it is contended by those dissatisfied, it will entail extra labor and expense upon the boxmaker and probablv \vith(jut additional or at least commensurate compensation, who argue that this j)rinting feature will be a considerable cost to the box- makers, as all boxes are made to order, and every lot, whether large or small, will necessitate a sj)ecial composition, due to the different factory number, besides which the actual feed- ing through the press must be met. 1 leretofore caution notices were printed in large (juantities anut the new ruling would do away with this process and necessitate a return to the older methods of printing the brand on the top of the lid and the caution notices on the bottom. Two operations are necessarily more expensive than one. r>oxmakers are already talking about fixing a certain ad- ditional charge to cover this additional expense, and it seems that cigar manufacturers are listening agreeablv to their propo sition. It will save the cigar manufacturer time and labor in eliminating the work of pasting caution notices on his boxes, and the new process, also, has other advantages which are no doubt agreeable to the cigar man ; one of these is that the dan- ger of an oversight when pieces of wood are fed through a press as boxes are made up are much less than when paper cau- tion notices are applied singly on l>oxes when they arc in the process of being stamped up. It will be remembered that not so very long ago a ruling was issued by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that cau- tion notices must be affixed to cigar boxes by the cigar manufac- turers and could not be thus affixed by cigar box manufac- turers, which practice was at that time becoming (|uite com- mon. Under the new ruling the Internal Revenue Depart- ment has necessarily had to practically reverse its own posi- tion, for the printed caution notices will, of course, be done by the box manufacturer. Space will not permit of any greater elaboration upon this subject at this time, and the final outcome of the action of the department will be watched with keen interest. Supply of Cedar Logs. "Importations of cedar logs into this country are way down to the minimum," said Mr. Sheip, of the Henry M. Sheip Mfg. Co. "There arc scarcely any arrivals on incoming steam- ers and it looks as though there would be a cedar famine in the next few months as the stocks on hand diminish. I per- sonally know of one man who went to Cuba on the first of March to contract for his year's supply of cedar, expecting to return in three weeks. He is still down there and is still look- ing for logs and willing to take amost anything good or bad. *i>ecause of these conditions, I do not see how cedar can hold to its present price very long.- After July ist I look for advances, not only in woods, but also in all its manufactured products. Hoxes can certainly not be made at a profit at the present low level which is still about the same as during the panic of 1907. A lot of cigar box manufacturers are liable to lose money unless they make a move to cover themselves. I can only explain that they either do not know how to figure the cost of their boxes, or they are willing to work without a profit. "James J. Hill, the railroad man, has predicted a big boom in the fall and I rather believe that he is going to prove a good prophet this time. There is every indication that by summer a good trade revival will be on. Outside of cigar boxes we are doing an excellent business. The cigarmakers have been out on a strike here, and, of course, that made things dull for us in the cigar Ix)x line temporarily. The strike is over now and we expect better things all around." Manufacturers* Reports. Cincinnati. Cincinnati cigar box manufacturers are of accord in de- claring that during the month of April a satisfactory progress has been shown in the box industry, and the business outlook at the present time seems quite encouraging to them. Supplies of material are reasonably abundant, and no noteworthy change in prices has occurred. A number of lumber salesmen have visited the city recently, but they found manufacturers pretty well supplied. The Geise Cigar Box Co. announce that their business this spring has been very satisfactory with March an exceptionally good month, and that April was also holding out very well. They have experienced lately a large increase of demand from the smaller members of the cigar trade from various parts of the country, indicating that upon the whole, the cigar trade is not so bad in this section. The old established house of Samuel W. Trost Cigar Box Co. report a fairly good business during the past month, and that a decided improvement is shown in the past two weeks. They are now more than hopeful of a good year's business and declare that there are no discouraging elements at the present time. The lumber situation is quiet with an abundant supply available at continued reasonable prices. Aman & Sandman recently booked some large orders for packing boxes, which they are specializing in, and this in con- nection with an active box market is keeping their factory running with full forces. THE TOBACCO WORLD ^:y Indianapolis. It is the report of cigar box manufacturers here that dur- ing the past month there has been a slight decrease in the vol- ume of business, although it was not enough to cause any alanii, nor to cause any reduction in their working forces. Factories have been continued on regular time, and are looking forward to an improvement. Brinker & Habeny, who are the largest box manufacturers in Indianapolis, declare their belief that the noted decrease in business is due largely to a strict enforcement of Sunday laws, intimating that the consumption of cigars has been affected to such an extent that the boxmaker also feels it. Their factory, however, is working on full time. Philadelphia. With local labor disturbances now at an end, the Phila- delphia box manufacturers feel more encouraged and have re- newed their confidence of a more active period during the re- mainder of the year. The box firm of F. Brecht's Sons, which is the oldest in the city, inform us that orders have been coming to them at a rather lively rate, considering the general conditions of the cigar trade, and that a full working force has been steadily maintained since New Years. They believe, also, that now that the initial months of the year are successfully concluded there will be an improvement noticeable in their business. At the office of Sheip & Vandegrift, Inc., the writer was informed that the cigar box industry has not been entirely sat- isfactory to them, ownig to low and unsteady prices which have prevailed. Their operations were somewhat interfered with during the strike period, and which now being happily termin- ated, they are looking forward to a period of improved condi- tions. Chicago. Conditions among cigar box manufacturers seem to be improving somewhat. A short week had been the rule for some time past, but with continued good weather the box people are liable to reap the benefit of improved conditions among cigar manufacturers, which nothing will help so much as favor- able weather. A. C. Henschel & Co. have experienced a gradual increase in their business, which has been steadily swelling and shows results that are fully in keeping with those of the previous year. They feel more than confident that there will be an even greater improvement from now on. G. Merz & Son announce that they can find little difference between the business conditions of this year and those of last. They put little stock in the theory that local option has affected business adversely. They announce themselves as contented to let good enough alone, and in fact they see good reasons for believing that conditions will not only continue to grow and soon be at least normal, but that they are expecting an active trade during the year of 1910. New York. The box manufacturers of New York continue to com- plain of the desultory trade conditions. They do not blame competition wholly, but admit that business is dull. By the use of a little diplomacy it was ascertained that cigar box manu- facturers from other points seem to be in a position to offer boxes at prices more advantageous to the cigar trade than what they can be produced for in New York. It is claimed that factories in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland have certain advantages in better facilities for production. This includes, usually, lower rents, cheaper labor and lumber plants in closer proximity effecting a saving in freight expenses. MONROE D. SELLERS Proprietor Keystone Cigar Box Factory, Sellertville. Pa. Use Locomotive to Circumvent Strikers. The strike of the operatives in the stemmery t»f the plug tobacco factory of the American Tobacco Company at Louis- ville, Ky., has caused considerable disturbance in that city. After the strikers had prevented the hauling of tobacco to the factory in wagons, the American Tobacco Company loaded eight cars with tobacco and had them hauled by locomotive tn the doors of the factory. This action so aroused the strikers that they at once apiK-aled to the union men working on the railroad to refuse to haul the products of the company, aiul are making every effort tu enforce this. No Receiver for Ohio Company. Application by Joseph Badaracco and others for the ap- pointment of a receiver for the Ghio Cigar Company, St. Louis. Mo., has been denied by the Circuit Court. In the petition it was alleged that George J. Ghio, the president of the company, was extravagant, and that his "entertainment" ex|)enses in- creased from $60 in June to $625 in December. It was also alleged that he paid too high salaries to salesmen. In defense, Mr. Ghio denied extravagance, and showed that his expendi- tures in December included Christmas presents to employees. The C. B. Henschel Mfg. Co., of Milwaukee, Wis., cigar box manufacturers, have increased their capital stock from $100,000 to $200,000 and will increase their manufacturing capacity. Fine for Misuse of Union Labels. A fine of $25 was imposed last month by the Court in Galveston, Texas, on a cigar manufacturer who used the official label of the Cigar Makers' Union on boxes of cigars, the contents of which were not manufactured by union lalxjr. The pro.secution was brought by the local union, and the suit established a unique precedent. 34 THE TOBACCO WORLD '^^n fi NEW YORK. New York City. WITH an apparent increase in the production of cigars throughout the country, the continued lack of interest in the leaf market is becoming severely puzzling. One would naturally expect thai with an increase in the production of cigars there must follow an increased demand for the raw material, and so there will if the increase in production continues. Hut it seems that the time has not yet come when maiuifacturers are compelled to replenish their stocks, annly limited forces of help obtainable, and in consequence the packing season will necessarily have to continue for a much longer period than usual. The new plant beds which have been set out have not progressed very well lately because of cold rains and occasional frosts. It is thought, however, that no large amount of real damage has been done. ViROQUA. The unseasonably cool weather has retarded the progress of han- dling tobacco. Local packers are growing somewhat impetuous over the delay in receiving and delivery, and some have even threatened the closing of their warehouses. As a result, some farmers have felt har- assed and resorted to all manner of means to bring their crops into case and for that purpose they have used exhaust steam, which in several instances worked admirably. There is also a scarcity of help com- plained of. Plant beds have been laid in some sections of the county, while a number of other growers have been waiting and hoping for warmer and more favorable weather. OHIO. MlAMISBURG. WEATHER conditions are gradually becoming more favorable, although the cool spell was quite protracted. The recent warm spell has been helpful in enabling a more rapid delivery of old goods to warehouses, and crops now remaining in farmers' hands have been very materially reduced. Of Zimmer Spanish it is said very little remains in first hands. Arcanum. The remnants of Zimmer Spanish tobacco remaining in farmers' hands are being cleaned up at from six to eight cents. It is stated that there are still some farmers who are still obdurate and will not accept these prices. In most instances they are being left to hold their tobacco. Eaton. Eight cents a pound seems to be the prevailing price that is being offered for 1909 crops of tobacco grown in this territory. It seems, however, that in view of the fact that these prices are not quite as much as farmers had realized during recent years, growers are a little reluctant to let their crops go. Tobacco men, however, are confident that they will not be able to pay a higher figure even later on, and unless they get the goods at these figures they are simply allowing them to remain in the farmers' hands. NEW ENGLAND. Hartford, Conn. A LITTLE more activity has been displayed in the tobacco market recently. Not only have more buyers put in an appearance, but a considerably greater number of purchases are reported. Prices arc more stable, but the scale is lower than it was at the outset. The concensus of opinion is that farmers who were holding their tobacco THE TOBACCO WORLD. 35 for higher prices have made an irretrievable mistake. There is some broad leaf unsold, for some of which as high as 22 cents is being offered, and the Havana seed variety is practically out of growers' hands. Tariffville, Conn. Tobacco growers are no longer concerning themeslves so much over their 1909 crops as they are of the early or preliminary prepara- tion for the planting season. .Xt the present time seed beds are being sterilized, and they have been much favored with better weather during the past week or so. There are indications that of the Havana seed there will be about the same acreage this year as last, and that larger acreage of broad leaf may be planted this year. Eully 400 acres of tobacco will be grown under shade this year in this valley. Connecticut Valley Trade Notes. Minsdale, Smith & Co. arc this year going more extensively into the priming method, and II. J. Judson, a local buyer for this house, is having his sheds fitted for the priming of his crops this year. It is stated that some growers last year had an adverse experience by this metluMl. It is stated that more tobacco sheds are to go up in Cilas- tonbury this season than for .some seasons pa.st. some of these buildings to cost in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars. Several tobacco growers of the Wapping district had pe- culiar and disastrous experiences recently in tobacco trans- actions. One grower sold his tobacco, receiving a de^x^sit of $500; at the same time he gave his note for a like amount. Some time later on the buyer declared that he did not want the tobacco, and subsecpiently the grower was obliged to hand over the $500 to redeem his tiote and the deal was off. An- other grower has involved himself in a heap of trouble by sell- ing his tobacco, receiving money and contract. Later the gocxls were turned down by the buyer, who received back his money, and the contract was void. On the same day this same grower sold his tobacco to another party at a still lower figure than Boom Lexington as Tobacco Centre. E. T. Robards, Supervisor of Sales of the Lexington LfK>se r.eaf Tobacco Market, in a recent interview spoke en- thusiastically over Lexington's future as a tobacco centre. lie said that Lexington has grown to such an extent that it is the most important distributing point in Kentucky. Lexington is the centre of the entire Burley growing section of the State and nearby there are grown 75,000,000 pounds of tobacco. So far this year nearly 21,000,000 pounds of this amount have been sold, the proceeds of which, distributed among the farm- ers, warehousemen and redryers, amount to $3,000,000. Continuing, Mr. Robards said: "There has Ijeen expended in permanent improvements, and equipments for the handling of tobacco more than $750,000 and there is a pay roll of 1,000 employees, whose weekly wages average from $10,000 to $15,000. This market has already es- tablished a stability that places it far beyond the experimental period." "The steady uniformity of prices," Mr. Robards added, "has done much to establish the Lexington market. From the beginning to the close of the market, the weekly and monthly averages would show that there has scarcely been a variation of fifty cents per 100 each week in the market price, and that, too, in the face of the high prices at which this market opened. "Another evidence that this market has attained a magni- tude of importance in the estimation of the trade is the fact that it is visited by such representative men as Hugh Camp- bell, president of the United States Tobacco Company, of Richmond, Va. ; Mr. Reynolds, of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Winston-Salem, N. C. ; Mr. Patterson, of R. A. Pat- terson Tobacco Company, Richmond, Va. ; and R. K. Smith, manager leaf department of the .American Tobacco Company, New York, all of whom have paid it this compliment." he was to have had in the first instance, ami again h)st heavily by the deal. A monthly meeting of the Hartford County Tobacco (irowers' Association was attempted to be held recently on a Monday tlight, but was adjourned sine die. It apjH'ars that general interest in the association was extinct. Notices for the meeting were sent out a month before it was to take place, but Ujxui that instance an adjournment was necessary, as there was no ((uorum. Ironclad resolutions do not seem to be favor- ably regarded by many of the tobacco growers of Coiniecticut and they would seem to have feared the promulgation of such actitni if thev had attended the pn^posed meeting. Badger State Items. Carl W. Wobbe. of Rose ^Wobbe. New York leaf tobacco dealers, recently spent several «lays in various leaf centers t)f Wisconsin. M. H. P»ekkedal. of Westby, Wis., has purchased the large tobacco warehouse built by the Northern Wisconsin Leaf To- bacco Company, at La Crosse. The company will retire from business. This makes the seventh warehouse which this packer will operate in the \ ernon and Crawford Comity districts. The Edgerton warehouse of the LTnited Cigar Manufac- turers Company has been closed after a continuous run of fif- teen weeks, during which time a large force of help was em- ployed and about $20,000 paid out in wages. The American Cigar Company has closed the sorting room of its warehouse at Edgerton. After spending some time in Wisconsin. Fritz f.ederer. connected with the exporting firm of Heinrich Neuberger. has returned to New York recently. Sow Grass to Kill Tobacco. A new phase of total depravity, in addition to that of night riding, barn burning and such crimes, has evinced itself in the Kentucky tobacco regions in the sowing of gras> see«l in the tobacco plant beds to their niin. So detrimetital is such a mix- ture of grass seed and tobacco that the State is otTering a re- ward of $200 each for the arrest of the miscreants engaged in this dastardly business. New Orleans has been visited lately by A. .Andrews, pres- ident of the Tobacco Workers' International I'nion. Several other labor leaders happened in New Orleans about the same time. There is no complaint, so far as known, of anything wrong in labor circles, but McAndrews and others were travel- ing around generally to keep things stimulated. They seem to have gone thoroughly through the vari(nis branches at New Orleans. E. V. D. Paul, one time president of the Universal Tobacco Company, of New York City, and who ([uit the weed in order to begin ranch life in the West, has been in New York the past month meeting his old friends. Mr. Paul says he would not ex- change his 400 acres in Mendocino County, Cal., f<>r the biggest skyscraper in New York unless, forsooth, he could sell the sky- scraper right away and buy a bigger ranch with it. The Ditmars Anti-Tobacco bill as finally passed by the Ohio Senate, forbids the sale of tobacco in any form to minors under the age of eighteen years. As originally i)asscd in tin- House, the age limit was fixed at twenty-one. h'ines ranging from $50 to $200 are provided. As the bill is very hx.selv drawn and has many loopholes, the tobacco dealers do not think it will stand a test in the courts. V. Schedel, cigarmaker. at 1710 Vine street, Cincimiati. has assigned, owing $2000, having $1000 assets. ♦i' 36 THE TOBACCO WORLD.

Address Tobacco Manufacturer. P. O. Box No. 812, Detroit. Mich. Suit Over Shrinkage of Burley. Suit to recover $cXk>.35 for the alleged loss from shrink- age on tobacco has been brought in the Circuit Court of Louisville, Ky., by the People's Tobacco Company, of New Orleans, La., against the Hurley Tobacco Society. The plain- tiff avers that the losses were on shipments made in December, i8. and January and la'bruary, 1909. According to the peti- tion, incorrect weights were recorded on the bills of lading, so that when the tobacco was received the weight was less than the weight of the tobacco which was purchased by the Louis- iana company. Maryland growers are chagrined on account of the refusal of Governor Crothers to approve the $2,500 appropriation for the State Tol)acco Growers' Association. The bill was de- signed especially to advertise tobacco growing, and, it is con- tended, would have tended to bring in considerable revenue to the State treasury.

THE QUALITY OF SAVARONA CIGARS We have many strong and convincing points that we could bring out about our SAVARON AS, such as : Tropical Climate and Soil like Cuba Plantations in the Best Districts of Porto Rico High Grade Tobacco Our Own Modem Factories Hu^ly Skilled Labor and Efficient Management No Duty to Pay on the Cigars More Profit to the Dealer and Jobber In all these points we have marked superiority. The point we want to emphasize how- ever is the Quality. Pass over all the above arguments, but try the smoking quality of SAVARONAS with any other cigar. Smoke them together, or one after the other, compare them in any way you like with an unbiased mind, and you will find the quality is there. The Smoking Test is the Only One.

Special Cable to Ihk Tohaico Woki.n. Manila. May 13th. STTI X ACCC)Rr)AXCK with the plans agreed upon by the S^*^ tobacco interests, the Collector of Internal Revenue ^ij^ffy for the IMiilippine Islands has put into force rej^ula- tions atfectinjij the shipments of Philippine cigars to the I'nitcd States. These regulations, as forecasted in recent dispatches to Tni-. T(»ha((o Worid, are meant to raise the standanl of (juality on all grades expitrted to the States and thereby overcome the prejudice tliat has arisen in some (|uar- ters against .Manila products. The Internal Revenue Department has ac(|uiesced with the. demands of the Manila Tobacco Association that all ship- ments must contain the following ratios: Not less than 35/o high grade; mediums from 50 to (yo[( , and low grades 15%. Lane's Schedules Filed. X Monday last Robert K. Lane's schedules in bank- ruptcy were completed and tiled with the courts, and the results of the inventory show debts amounting to $38,(/)2.24. exclusive of a claim of $2,760 owing the Metropolitan l»ank and a claim of $3,200 due 15. Wasserman & Co., both of which are fully secured. The assets are figured at $31,850, but the amount they will really net is problemati- cal, as stocks, fixtures and bad debts are the principal com- l>onents. There are twenty-five creditors with accounts over S50. among the largest of which are the Cifuentes, Ferdinan- dez y Ca., $8,012.42; (larcia Panda & Co., $5,106.80; Park & Tilford, $5,029,29; M. S. Arms y Ca., $3,184.85; .Metroi)olitan Tobacco Company. S3.008.71 ; I>road I'^xchange Comj)any, $2,375; Clarence H. Kelsey. $2,333.32; I'nited States Realty Company, $1,000, and tlie Montauk Cigar Company, $1,011.42. It is lioi)e(l that bv careful management the estate will pay 25%. Mr. Lane is anxious to resume business and his attorney, M, S. Schector, 34 Pine street, .\ew York, has been busy dur- ing the past week visiting his creditors with a composition offer of settlement, and he has met with such success that Mr. Lane hopes to be able to resume shortly and continue business at the stores at in Broadway, 20 Ilroad street and 25 liroad street. The offer proposed by .Mr. Lane is to pay 75^^ eventually ; 15% in cash forthwith and ()0'/o in notes running six, nine and twelve months after the date of settlement. The Lane store at 16 Wall street has been entirely closed out, and the building in which it was so long located is now being torn down. Straw Hat Free with Box of Cigars. MiLWAiKKK. Wi.sc-.. .May 12th.— A timely stroke of adver- tising was made by the Abraham Cigar Stores last Saturday, when a straw hat was given away with every purchase of a box of "X'ictor Herbert" cigars, of jeitles & P>lumenthal. Philadel- phia. Cnfortunately. the weather was a bit cool and few of the purchasers wore their gifts. Prices of Cigarettes Advance. Scarcity and High Cost of Turkish Tobacco Forces a Rise in American Made Goods. Gh'XFRAL advances in the prices of cigarettes are pre- dicted as the result of the rising cost of Turkish to- bacco, as well as other trade condition^. In tact, some of the manufacturers have alreatly sent i>ut new lists, which show a reduction in discounts over the a«l- vances in the last prices. 'The latest reports from Turkey, as eml)o they are holding out for higher prices. Taking effect .May jnd. the American Tobacco Com|)any advanced the list prices on '*Pall .Mali" cigarettes, regular size, cork-tipped, any style packing, to $I9.(X) a thousand, less the usual discount. The new price is 50 cents higlur tlian the last (|Uotation. Other grades of cigarettes are advanced pro- I)ortionateIy. The rumor current in Xew York thi-> week that Stei)hano I'rothers, Philadelphia cigarette manufacturers, had reducetl their discount, was denied by Constantine Stej)hano. of the firm. Mr. Stei)hano, admitted, however, that a were contemplated and would be necessary if there were no breaks in the present high prices in 'Turkey. Other manufacturers, including I*'. .\. Condax tS: Co., of .Xew York, it is reported, will s(»on announce a>aj4i' of iinpnrtant Icj^Mslation for tiu' hciutit (if tlu- iiidiistrv at lar^n-. iiiarktMl the twilflli amiiial convtntioii (»f tlu- National Ci^'ar Leaf I ohacio .\ssociati«»ii in tiiis city May »>tli and lotii. kcprcscn- tativi- kaf nicii from the various associations aHiliated with this national body were in attendance in goodly innnhers an«l the Ilartlord Convention will ^o ilown in tra publish suitable pam|)hlets setting; forth by statistics an«l arj^uments the essentials for the welfare of the cij^ar leaf trade.

In my report 1 wish to point out to you the bold outlines of the situations that confronted us and the issues we were forced to take, and T hope you will ]»rirdon me if at times I seem a little didactic. My heart and soul has been in the work, and I trused seems unsatisfactory and unnecessary to a great many of you. However, when you con- sider that we were able to place det'inite limits on the free importa- tions of leaf and cigars, and thus were placed in a position where, at least as long as the tenure of the present administration, the uncertainty of a greater po>sibIe injury to our industry was re- moved, the bill as passed is not an unmitigated evil. We have guarded against further e. .\lmo?>t as unnecessary as our concessions to the Philippines arc from the viewpoint of encouraging an already well establi>hen tobacco as provided in the Payne P.ill is an earnest of the care and forethought of your ofl'ieers in a most delicate situation. We must look \\\nm the Philippine Bill as a contribution frc»m our industry to the pet charity of our executive. As long as wc had to give, why not give gracefully and comfort ourselves with the kiu>wledge that our annu.il contribution cannot be increased. Making mountains out of nn»le hills has done more to adver- tise and introduce the Philippine ])ro(luct than anything else. The origin of the so-calleil Ciovernment (iuarantee Stamp can be directly tr.iced to an entirely unnecessary and undiplomatic attack on man- ufacturing conditions in the Philippines by a member of Congress. A'our otlicers carefully investigated the possible courses of acti'Ui regarding this Stamp, and ascertained that the only legal objection th.jt coiild possibly he sustainerl against it was that it conveyed an erroneous impression rather in the lettering than in the text itself.

On motion of John R. Young, of Philadelphia, a com- inittee of five was appointed to prepare and consider resolu- tions to be presented, and the following committee was ap- pointed: John R. Young, of Philadelphia; A. P.. Hess. Lan- caster, Pa.; M. C. Miller, Hartford; Frank Inksater, Klmira, N. Y., and A. W. Gieske. P*altimore. After some further discussions on various minor inatters the meeting was adjourned at noon. Tuesday's Session. The second and final session was called to order Tuesday morning. At this time the Res(dution Conunittee announced that it was prepared to report. On behalf of Samuel Grundy, a delegate from Janesville, Wis., a resolution was presented urging the association to take more drastic action to curb the efiect of encroaching monop- olistic movements, and it was referred to the Legislative Com- mittee. A communication received from a member of the New York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade was read which supplied considerable data. The communication was begun by saying that: "The following argument is a8 and miml)er in uyoy deducted from this sum. both total and percentage f)f decrease would be even greater. "1908 shows a further decrease of 1063 licensed cigar factories, a decrease of near 5% from 1907. "These statistics establish the fact that, though no other manufac- tured article in the world has more numerous or diversified places for sale, and though a very limited capital is required to become a manu- facturer thereof, still the number of cigar manufacturers is rapidly decreasing desjjite a constant and considerable increase in cigar pro- duction. "As sui)i)liers of the raw materi.il to cigar manufacturers, we are materially concerned and affected by this condition, and should ascer- tain the reasons: then, if possible, remedy them. "It is not inability to obtain quantity or quality of raw material, because competitive leaf men always offer such. "It is not because of difference in costs of such to small and large manufacturers, because such differences have ever existed and the 12 THE TOBACCO WORLD l;irv;.st f.ut..ri(s ,,f to ilay. wmUr tlusr o.ii.lif i.Mis. di vrlopid fn.in tin- '>m;illt'st of Ix (^iiiiiiii^s. •It IX iirnlMt tin i.iritr on u\\]u,rU- KrowiiiK .ham .if Lnitrd Civ^ar Stons iKians, nnnitroiis in«K pendent individuals' stores exist and are heinj^ • stalihshtd whuh prosprr in spite of keen competition with them.

Our pridf anon arriving in Hartford last Sunday one of the newspaper men found the town closed up tight he was com- pelled to appeal to the local druggist for a "high ball". T. H. Weaver, of Lancaster, made more than the old- fashioned "century runs" on .Sunday last in his new touring car. and although it was a little late he reached Hartford in good shape. He was accompanied on his trip from Lancaster by L. .\. Wheeler, of Troy, (). ; A. W. Cieske, of Baltimore; W. J. Lucaswitz and Ik-rt Wolf, of Dayton. O. It is much regretted by all that Messrs. John H. Duys, John W. Merriam and others were unable to attend the con- vention this year. Press I'lldridge. the black-face comedian, sprung a new joke on the boys the other night when he related his experience with a new brand of cigars called "Adam and Eve". Soon after smoking one he began to 'eave, he said. These conventions would be dry affairs without Colonal Taussig, of Chicago, and Maaklaar Cranz, of New York. P»enjamin \.. Haas, of Hartford, deserves credit for having the courage of his own convictions, for he declared if an at- tempt was made to cfTect a reduction of tariff on Sumatra to- bacco to a dollar a pound he could be dependend upon to fight against it with all the vigor he possessed, and that is more than a little, too. Moritz Neuberger, of New York, fuUy established the fact that he is not alone a good tobacco man, but also a thoroughly good musician as well. His rendition of a violin solo during the ban(|uet at Hartford was highly appreciated. P.ert Newfield. of Hartford, is richly deserving of a prize for his delightful entertainments as a vocalist. And we don't w\int to overlook Jerome Waller, cither. .All kinds of "hands" were drawn at Hartford, of which some were accepted, some rejected, as good, bad or indifferent, but none burned badly. It is all over now until next year at Lancaster, and then — well, we'll be there. " i i I6 THE TOBACCO WORLD TME €II€^E MISECMAMT^S STAMPS Should be on an Elqual with Merchants of Other Commercial Branches. Despite Public Opinion to Contrary. BY AIJUiKT n. MILlJiR, riiiUidclplmi. H l-KI*'. is a (jiu'stion \vc liavc often l)ffM iiuliiK-d to discuss: The I)oj»iilar impression as to the staiKJinj^ of the cij^ar dealer or to- haceonist compared to merchants in other branches of the commercial held. It is an undeniable fact, althouj^di ex- ceedingly rej,'retful. that in the majority of cases, rej,'ardless of the size of the invest- UR-nt. the character of the shop, or the abil- ity of the man. whenever a cigar dealer is mentioned there is an almost invariable dis- position on the j)art of ni;)st minds to class him l)e>ieath the averaj^e merchant in other lines of business. .Xnd some jjood peoj)le, ALBtRr D. women especially, seem to have the opinion that the atmos- phere surroimdinj^ most cij^ar shops is not only tainted with smoke from cheap cij^ars. but also with an influence abso- lutely immoral. Why is this true? One mij^dit dismiss it with the answer, "downrij^ht ij^Miorance." but we have always recoj^nized it as a too-j;osition it demands and is entitled to. I'nscrupulous i)ersons creep into and are to be found in all the various commercial and professional fields, and while the percentage of such in the tobacco business may have ex- ceeded the average some years back, we doubt if a greater progress of a thoroughly substantial and commendatorv char- acter during the past twenty years can be cited than that with which this article deals. This is due: hirst, because the keen competition, coupled with the vast investments, has made i)os- sible a wonderful advance in the cultivation of the tobacco leaf and the pro|)er marketing of same; second, the widesj)read use of tobacco, combined with the first reason, has brought about a mo.st discriminating and exacting trade. The average smoker of to-day is as particular in the choice of his cigar as he is in the cut of his clothes, h'urther. a cigar mav con- fain in tobacco and workmanship the highest elements of merit, yet .so varied are the combinations and shapes, and the tastes of the smokers, that in the selection and arrangement of stock and the selling of the goods, intelligence, personality, tact, judgment and other essential (jualifications are as abso- lutely necessary to insure success as in the handling of anv other high-grade conimcxlity. and in just as great degree. Years ago a salesman behind the cigar counter earning ten or twelve dollars a week was an exception and his reputation as MILLLK a salesman was about s reputatit.n. We will take it f t granted that the e >he j.aid u> many compliments on the general conduct of and taste disjilayed in the shop and the courteous and resjiectful treatment accorded the customers; also stated that she lia think of a tobacco shop as a rendezvous for gossip, impr<ut to the ex- clusive shops alone nuist be given the greatest credit of ad- vanced exanij)les. not only in regard to morals, but also in ability, goods and taste disi)layed. as well as in the imj)roved science exercised in keei)ing the goods in a clean and proper condition. The up-to-date cigar shop is a wholesome, artistic. I)ainstaking. reliable and thoroughly respectful place to enter, and no man. woman or child need have any fear of having their morals shocked should thev have occasion to visit such.

In view of the mometitous tlecisitnis which tlevolve upon the Supreme Court bench of the Cnited States, the ages of the present Justices are worth taking in>te of. _ At present Massachusets has twt> members. Caovernor Hughes jnj^.^j, Kentuckv, L..uisiana. California. Appointment. / vi • 1 m' ' 1 mm c Ohio and 1 ennessee, one each. Iheagesof the present members are: Chief justice Fuller and Justice Harlan, yj \ Justice Holmes, (j<>; Justice McKenna. 67; Justice White, 65; Justice Lurton, 66; Justice Day, 61 ; Justice Moody, 57. Justice M(K)dy, though only fifty-seven years of age, is unable to do judiciary w«)rk because of chronic rheumatism or similar trouble. He has heard none of the big arguments af- fecting the Trusts, and Justice Holmes, of Massachusetts, is considered prt)bably the most alert meml)er of the I»ench. The ai)pointment of Judge Lurton, of Tennessee, has given great satisfacton, and the one just announced of (jovernor Hughes, of New York, is esteemed one of the best that has ever been made. In fact, Governor Hughes will bring to the Supreme Hench a degree of legal learning and devotion to high ideals which have never been excelled among the Cnited States Judiciary. .\ttomey-( ieiieral \\ icker.sham move> tm the lOth for a have been cast out to the Un the Mend. winds, which would show that at least a portion of the i)rosi)erity about which our leading statesmen are so busy discussing, is drifting toward our industry. .\ report a few days since from HcKighton, Mich., detailed the placing of an order in that little town f(»r 75(),(xx) cigars of one leading brand to be delivered within the next twelve months, and this would indicate that in that j)articular section of the cop|)er country the dealers are not a bit fearful about placing orders, and for large amounts. The official revenue statistics from the b'irst Ohio District also disclose that the manufacturers out there are making more goods to-day. by a slight margin, than they were twelve months ago. When it is con>idrred that cigar manufacturers have been very wary about making up go«Mls for stock, it can be judged that their business is at least improving to a degree. The reports from Cuba are also of an encouraging nature, an«l while the fine little island is not yet getting all the business she wants, still the makers of clear Havana cigars feel that the tide has turned and the dawn of a more prosperous day i.s beginning to break. l8 (■'Mill' A Salesman's Cleverness.

HK above is an excellent portrait of Dave Fxhemendia. who has the general representation in the L^iited States for the Castaneda factories. Mr. hlchemendia has an experience in the cigar business extending over a period of a quarter of a century, his first connection dating back to the El Modelo cigar factory over twenty-five years ago. For a number of years he was associated with the Plant system of steamships, and in 1898 he opened the famous United States Club in Havana, which became the headcjuarters for the Army and Navy officers and which club is now per- petuated as an American club. Another valuable connection of Afr. Echemendia's was with the Henry Clay and ]3ock & Co. factory, and for a time he managed the splendid show rooms on the Prado which this company operated there. For a year past Mr. Echemendia has been doing valiant work for the Castaneda factories and, as stated in our last issue, he has just accjuired beautiful offices at 3 Park Row, New York, where he will have the very best facilities possible to further the interests of his goods. Associated with him is E. P. Cakes, who is favorably known to the trade by his connection with Godfrey S. Mahn. Mr. Echemendia refers to his Havana cigars as "Havana- Cuba", which designates that they are clear Havana cigars made in Cub! and not in Tampa, Key West or the States. Cigars on Immigrant Seized. "Uncle Sam" is getting busy about the number of cigars immigrants bring in with them from Italy, and as a result of the rigid enforcement of the tariff law, 1,500 cigars were seized on May 6th on the arrival of the Italian liner "Sannio." Michele Raffiirio was the victim. One big bag was filled with the smokes, and Customs Inspector Sleep discovered them. The alien could not under.s-tand why he was allowed only fifty cigars. He refused to pay any duty and the cigars were con- fiscated and will later be sold by the Government. To Hold Convention Aboard Steamer. RiCHMo.ND. \a..

The decision of the Court of .Appeal-, upholding the riot clause upon which the companies relied, made it unneces- sary to carry the case further. Perfect Cigar Box Lid Holder. The Perfect Cigar Box Lid Holder, introduced by the Milwaukee Novelty Co.. .Milwaukee. Wis., is a holder "that serves you right." One of the .strong features that a|)|)eals to the cigar trade is the firm manner in which it holds the cover at any angle. That the cigar trade ap- preciates a good article is evidenced by the large trade thev have enjoved and further emphasized by the many unsolicited testimonial letters that have followed sales. The Perfect Cigar Pox Lid Holder not only holds the cover, but also the cigar price tags, the latter arc fur- nished in thirty-one difTerent designs. j)rinted in two colors and sold at very reasonable prices. 2t New Coupon Company Formed. f /^ 1 \ I'riday.

Mr. Tuck, the president of the new company, is a prominent ciJ,^•lrist in IMiialdelj)hia, and who some time a^o commenced ojjerations as the Tuck Coupon Company, which was (|uite successful, but he found in the new enterprise possibilities of greater exj)ansion and has ttirned his former coupon business over to the new company, which will redeem the Tuck Company's coupons, Mr. Ellis, the secretary, certainly needs no introduction to the members of the cigar and t(»bacco trade, since his many years' connection with it and as the present head of .Arthur llagen & Co.

Ninth street, to present some gift to hiin each year about Christmas time. This practice has been in vogue for so long a time that his patrons have almost ex- hausted themselves in trying to decide what the article shall be as the time again approached. It occurred in December last that some brilliant mind thought of a parrot as a very suitable gift for the occasion that year, and as a result there was procured a fine specimen of Mexican parrot, which has since been adorning the store and also amusing the patrons while spending a few lesiure moments at the store. It then became a puzzling matter to find a suitable naine for the new pet, until one of the more versatile of the cus- tomers suggested "Muck'O", and that was promptly adopted. Inirthermore, it has proven a happy event and one in which Mr. Haug himself is fully particpating. He has introduced a new brand of cigars under the name of "Muck'O", and made a hit with it. The name grew so rapidly in popularity that a number of the patrons organized a new social club, which has now become known as the "Muck'O Social Club", and which we are informed has a membership of 125 and that regular monthly meetings are held. Recently a benefit was given at Dumont's Opera House, which was well attended and the club made out finely, and with the proceeds of that affair a banquet was held at Mose- bach's Casino on Thursday evening, April 27th, which was even more largely attended than the previous functions and was pronounced a brilliant success. Toasts were responded to and many witty sayings were expressed. The club has a regular set of officers and various conunit- tees, with F. B. Robertson, the well-known representative of the Manchester Cigar Manufacturing Company, of Baltimore, as chairman of the l>an(|uet C»»mtuittee. which so successfully carried out that affair. The "Muck'O" cigars, which Mr. Haug has launched as a residt ..f the fun wliich •the lu.y«>" have had with him. are made at the factory of Juhn C,. Spat/ vS: Co., of Reading. Pa.

Y., is evidently anictng the very busy ones in the I'.mpire .State, for they recently announced that they are in need of 100 girls to strip tobacco at their factory. No. 178 Water street, Bing- hamton. This is quite a favorable contrast with the general conditions of the cigar trade, as it is rejiorted not only from Binghamton, but from many other sections of the country. It seems, however, that their "Oj)ia" brand has a very strong hold upon the market, anrl< and several Tampa niamifactiircrs, a> well as '^ale>. Trices evidently show a sign of stiffening, and (piite a nnmher of S|)anish leaf dealers Uel more encouraged to hold on, as the outlo(>k f«)r the coming crop has not improved. In reality, as the dry weather has continued in all «)f the tobacco growing districts, except in the ( )riente Province, no progress has been made in taking the leaf down from the poles, and, therefore, we arc all as ignorant about the coming (|ualitv as can be. ( )ne fact, which cannot be disputed is. that the <|uantity will be smaller. The crop was princii)ally planted and grown under very unfavorable weather conditions, and it is not likely that the good part of the crop will be abundant, and on the contrary, the j)rol)al)ilities point to small leaves and too heavy a (|uality of *'\uelta Abajo", "Remedios". and even *• I'artido". The ".Semi-X'uelta" croj) this year is described as almost a total failure. "Remedios" shall have so much sap or gnm, that perhaps the manufacturers will be unable to use this style «»f leaf until the year H)i2. The only ho|>e is, that i)erha|>s through a heavy sweating I)rocess in the piles, the extra heavy (|uality will be toned down considerably, but this cannot be foretold, and it remains to be seen, how the tobacco will act after the fermentation. Natur- ally, our farmers are anxious to hurry their crops to market, but if they are not careful they may find later on. that we will have a rejietition of the execrable 1907 leaf. That the latter crop was so defective is now universally ascribed to the |)oor fermentation in the piles, therefore, it is hardly possible that packers and farmers commit the same error in the coming mani|)ulation of this year's tobacco. Extraordinary cool weather toward the end of .\j)ril. has been followed by dry. hot weather this month. We have had no rain in I favana. but it sprinkled in a few places of our province and Titiar del Kio. not enough to do anv good to the \egueros. The misery in "X'nelta Abajo" shall be terrible, as owing to the drought, the farmers cannot even raise any vegetables to sii!)sist ui)on. .Sales during the i)ast fortmght aggregated 5.725 bales, which C(»nsisted of 3.313 of "\'uelta .Abajo". 125 "Partido", and 2.2S7 bales of "Remedios". lUiyers were.

Havana cigar manufacturers report a slightly better in- quiry and that orders are coming in more regularly, although they are mostly for small (juantities of different sizes, and this also applies more to the larger factories than the smaller ones. The I'nited States. Canada and South America appear to be the best customers just now, while Great Britain seems at the moment less anxious to increase its calls. Germany, at this period of the year, is usually -a slack market, as it is waiting to see how the new crop may turn out. The following figures taken from official custom house returns, show that the exiK)rts of cigars from the Port of Havana from January 1st to April 15th. inclusive, and for comparison's .sake, the figures are given for the years 1909 and 1910, viz.: I'romjan. ist. to April 15th, 1909, 54,^45,514 cigars. " 1st, " " 15th, 1910, 45.y>Ki35 " Decrease in 1910. 8.778.379 cigars which shows a bettemient a trifle over half a million cigars in the decrea.se against the previous fortnight. THE TOBACCO WORLD H. Upmann & Co. are working well in their renowned "H. Upmann" factory. Don Alberto I'pmann was in charge, while Don Teodoro Garbade was away on his Hying trip to New York, but as the latter returned this week, he is now in command again. Eortunately, this factory has plenty of old, light wrappers in stock. "Sol" does not complain, in fact. Don Carlos I'ehrens says, when business is slack all over, they generally experience a good demand for their excellent "Sol" and "Luis Marx" brands, from all out of the way countries, so this helps out to bridge over the dullness in the chief countries. Max .Schatz. their New York representative, however, never fails to for- ward orders from the Cnited States and England, al.so in ordering fair (|uantities. "La Diligencia" is doing (|uite well, and Don lierna return from the famous bathing resort «»f San Diego de los IJanos. was very much pleased to see how his friends and cnstomers had ordered cigars during his ab- sence, and he begs to exten«l his thanks throtigh the columns of The TonA((() Wokld to the patronage bestowed upon "La Diligencia." Having a large stock of choice, old tobacco on hand, he gurantees his customers the same uniform, g(K)d (|uality of his cigars during the remainder of the year i<>i(>, no matter what the final outcome of the i(;io crop may be. Henry Clay and l»ock & Co., Ltd., is fully occupied, hav- ing plenty of orders to fill yet from all directions. Mr. Per- cival S. Hill only stayed three days in Havana. b>om .\ew York he will visit luirope on a hasty trip. bVank .\rango, the manager of the different factories, is well spoken of. as he understands his arduous duties thoroughly. Other factories which are at work are "Romeo y Julieta", "Viuda de Jose (iener". "Partagas", Castaneda", "h'lor de P. A. Estanillo", "Por Larranaga", "Redencion", "Carlos E. Beck & Co.", and "Eigaro". Buying, Sklmnc. and Othkr Notks of Intkrkst. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez sold seven hundred bales of "\'uelta Abajo" and "Remedios". "El Gran Oton" has registered 2.000 bales of "Remedios" leaf during his stay here, but the larger part of his purchases were, however, previous contracts made already last year. Jose C. Puente was a seller of 600 bales of "X'uelta .Xbajo". I*>ed J. Davis has made (juite some purchases for their well- known "P'l Sidelo" factory in Tampa. Jose V. Rocha disi)osed of 555 bales of "\Hielta Abajo". The Castaneda factory sent a large oil painting of "Lady Nicotine" to the Buenos Ayres Exposition, and which original water color production has been seen here all over town, advertising the cigars of this factory most effectively. A. Pazos & Co. closed out 432 bales of "Vuelta Abajo" and "Partido". Menendez & Co. purchased for their cus- tomers 400 bales of "Remedios." Erne.st Ellinger & Co. sold 282 bales of all kinds of leaf to their customers. A. Af. Calzada ik Co. made some good- .sized shipments per steamers "Havana" and "Saratoga". Don Antonio Calzado was all over the "X'uelta .Abajo" region, and is said to have made some large ccMitracts for the coming crop to be delivered as soon as the rainy season commences. B. Diaz & Co. were sellers of 300 bales of "X'uelta Abajo" and "Partido". "Romeo y Julieta" purchased several hundred bales of "Vuelta Abajo". Cardenas & Co. sold 200 bales of "X'uelta Abajo". The Erench "Regie" buyer is reported to have closed .several deals of fine "\'uelta Abajo" vegas, so it seems the "Regie" may go into the manufacture of Cuban tobacco heavier than heretofore. This may not help our cigar manu- facturers eventually, as the duty has been raised 507^? on the importation of cigars. Jorge & P. Castaneda sold 200 bales of "\'uelta Abajo". They intend to start their renowned "San Antonio de los Banos" packing about the middle ni this month. a> tluv have enough tt)bacco in "pilon" already.

Christy, of the American Tobacco Company, of New ^ork. accompanied by his secretary, passed through Colorado Springs, (olo., on a Western sightseeing and business tour During their visit to Colorado Springs they called on the Shields-Morley (irocery Omipany, who are extensive handlers of "American" products, and were entertained during their visit by I Resident Metzler, of the companv, and (leorge H. .Shields. They were taken on an auto ridJ through .some of the Pike's I'eak country. Dame rumor has liad it that the real mission of the Xew Yorkers was the possible establishment of local branches of the Cnite.l Cigar Stores Company, but Mr. Metzler announces that such rumors are without any basis of fact. Mr. jol.n I. Mau.ser is planning the erection of a cigar factory at Sabford. I'la.

II L report of the internal Revenue Collector has been (|uite satisfactory to local manufacturers, but the industry is not yet showing the progress which it should. riie larger factories seem to l)c liaving a fairly good business, and this may be attributed to their own energy more than to any natural increase in the demand for goods. There are. however, iudicatit. us that as the year pro- gresses still further along better gains will be shown. The general conditions of the business of the country would seem to indicate the likelihood of a greater participation in the busi- ness revival by the cigar manufacturers. S. .M.

Several local leaf tobacco men are somewhat incensed at current rumors that they were largely interested this vear in ^'ork County tobacco, when the statements cauiKtt be substan- tiated b\ facts. There is a sale for all the ^'ork C'ountv to- bacco that was grown, but some of our local packers are simply not interested in that type of leaf and are neither buyers nor handlers of it in any way. The cigar box industry in this ctiy at the i)resent time seems t > be fairly good and tlir several box factories here are linding enough work to keep their usual t'orces jjretty steadily employed. TliC .S. 1\. .Moss Cigar Company were recently the re- cipients of some good-sized orders for the "\'A .Mosico" cigars, which is their newest ottering of the nickel variety. Albert C.

Both Connecticut and Ohio t»»I);icc(»s, as well as IVnnsylv.inia and Wis- consin, were important factors in the domestic leaf m.irket. The .supply of both binder ;ind filler goods is being visibly depleted, and this fact is causing the leaf men some little anxiety to be able to meet the tlemands which may uliim.itely be m.ide for this type of goods before the new crops are market.iblc. The Smn.itr.i market in this city has been normal and stocks of both old and new goods have found some sale. A com|)aratively small amount of new tobaccos have been purchased by IMiiladeluhia houses, .md who h.ive confined their «)piT;itions more jj.irticul.irly to old goods. Recently some offerings of some new imj)ort;itions h.ive attr.icted atten- tion auKMig leaf jobbers here and it is not impossible that in the near future some interesting amiouncements may be made. The ll.ivan.i m.irket is re|)orted r.ither dull so far as immediate s.iK s are concenu*!. There is every indication that m.imif.icturers are using consider.ible (ju.mtities of gttods, but they appe.ir to be simply ordering out from the warehouses purch.ises that they had made pre- viously. They are not lodging any particul.ir compl.iint against present prices, but they simiily .ippe.ir to be not in the market ifor additional supplies .If the present time. To be sure there are sales being made constantly, but they are not of stich a nature .is to char.icteri/e .m active market. Lancaster. No i)articular activity has developed in this market for old goods, although it is reported from jobbing centers that a somewhat larger volume of business has receinly been done, l^jcal manufacturers have been making some i)urchases in this m.irket for early needs but even these transactions have been tempered with great moileration, and only such amounts were taken as could be utilized at an early date. The opinion seems prevalent amonj^r m.mufacturers that market conditions will become in the course of tune more favorable to them. While on the other hand packers are fully sanguine and expect further advances m prices. Much attention is being directed to the ](^x) crops, of which only .ibout j-^'/o or less still remain in farmers' hands, and as a matter of fact an .actual scramble has been (tn for the past two weeks among several p.ickers to procure th.it 2^%. There was considerable antipathy against the i(/x; goods, but lately it seems that a number of packers have changed their opinions, and have not only become more favorably disposed towards that crop, but have actually entered into the race for a supply of it. During the sweating |)rocess it was developed that there w.is .imple heat in the new crop, in fact some of the earlier de- liveries which were sweated in bulk showed r.ither too much heat, a condition that was not expected when the tobacco was purchased. The belief is growing very r.ipidly here th.it the u/cnj tobacco will be in good dem.mtl, with a return of more prosperous times in the cigar industry. Til York. l.ocal tobacco men have noted .some improvement in trade condi- tions during this month, the manufacturing industry has improved somewhat and consequently the leaf man is linding a more ready sale for his offerings of leaf. No material change in prices has been noted, but a l.irger V(dumc of business would at least bring about a greater degree of contentment. Our local hou.ses are. however, not confined to local terriKjry, and not a few of them are finding a major portion of their business a considerable distance away from home. York seems to have adv.mtages in the handling of tobacco which enables local p.ickers to successfully meet the competition of larger packing centers, consequently our houses are constantly branching out into newer terri- tory. Ti 1 r 1 , . . . Reading. llie le.if tobacco men of this city recently participated in greater business activity, .'md one of the largest packing houses here will this year have one of the largest packings of IVnnsylvania leaf that it has \ ever put up. In the tobaccos of other Stales, however, this house will not play so important a f).irt this year, preferring to concentrate its attintion more fully to the 1909 crops of IVnnsylvania broad leaf and Havana seed. A moderate volume of business has been done with local m.muf.iclurers. NEW ENGLAND. AAf/^niUA'l-l' . r 1 • . H.\RTFORD, CoNN. AlODl'.KA I b, amount of business is reported in the leaf trade. Soine buying is still being done, but it is not proceeding as r.ipidly as one might have expected that it would at this late date. Sorting of deliveries thus far made to warehouses is now pretty well cleaned up, and it is probably fortunate for the packers that this IS so, because farmers are much in need of all the help they can get in their preparations for a new crop. Tobacco beds are looking fairly well, but they have needed water, and not all tobacco growers have been pr(.i)erly e(|uipped to supply it. b'or this purpose stand pipes and hose are being extensively used and the system has reduced the labor very greatly. c, ....

Several tons of tobacco have been bought in this section at from 8 to 10',^ cents in the bundle, and we learn of several other crops having been purchased at as low as 7I/2 cents.

Ih leaf tobaccr) market here has been r.ither dull, and comparativelv few s.iles have been reported during the past two weeks, althtnigh prices have not been materially .ilTected.

Ware- house work for this season has been pr.ictically coinpleted. WISCONSIN. LOCAL tradesmen say that more normal conditions are again pre- vailing, and the trade is gradually reg.iining itself from the chaotic conditions produced by recent and severe frosts. In fact, the storms were of blizzard-like proportions when snows were followed by heavy freezing weather, during which the tobacco beds in the northern tier of counties were severely damageance obtains a vast aniount of its revenue from its nioiioix)ly on tobacco. Like the people of every other country. I'Venchnien love tobacco and they use it freely. Discerning this the ( iovernnient puts its mailed hand on the weed and every tiser becomes a taxpayer. The recent official figures show the United States to be the chief .source of sui>ply for the tobacco of France; in fact we export to France nearly as much as to all other countries put together. In 1909 the special imports of cigarettes in France amounted to 85 metric tons, showing a decrease somewhat as compared with the two years previous. As to the (|uantity of cigarettes comprised in a metric ton, we have no means at hand of ascertaining. Cigars are easier tabulated and the (|uantity entered for consumption in 1909 was i2.()OC)/yoo. That cigar smoking has diminished enormously within the four years past is evident from the fact that in 1907 the (|uantity entered for consumj)- tion was 17.^)75.300 aiul in nyoH k), 2(^)7, ocxy. The decrease for i()OC) as compared with 1908, 6,357,400. A shrinkage so ex- traordinary woidd indicate greatly decreased purchasing power, if not a partial conclusion among the people to almost cease the use of cigars. The Director General responsible for tobacco statistics has lately stated the total purchase of tobacco for n)o^ to have been ^}C),2(k),^^o: profits of the ("lovernment monopoly for K>o8, .^75,218,855, the profits being $661,604 more for 1909 than for 1908. The sale of manufactured tobacco in France during 1907 was 39.900 metric tons and in i(>o8, 40,289 n^etric tons. 1 he show'ing is that the Government has increased its profits in the pa.st two or three years, (lesj)ite the big drop in the sales of cigars. What are known as Scaferlatis and cigarettes selling at from $4.80 to $6.00 per thousand, foreign made cigarettes and ninas. have been responsible for the increase in tobacco consumption. The average consumj)tion per capita in France is 36.11 ounces, viz. 31.84 ounces for smoking and chewing tobacco, and 4.27 ounces of tobacco in powder. In Brittany tobacco chewing is popular; in Normandy and Anjou .snuff is affected, while the departments of Seine and Rouches-du-Rhone get away with most of the cigars and cigarettes. The number of tobacco stores in France iti 1908 was 47.447 and the average profits of the retailers for the entire year amounted per capita to $164.43. Badger State Items. The office of F. (].

No matter how strong an electric wire may be, it is dead and useless until charged with that powerful and mysterious fluid which gives it life and vitality. Mr. Manufacturer, you will also find that it takes such a current to vitalize your business, spread your name before thousands of prosperous customers, advertise your products and open new accounts. The new TOBACCO WORLD will supply this galvanic force for you. Since the new management has taken hold of this magazine, you have seen the physical changes in its make-up, editorial treatment and general tone. The new WORLD speaks for itself in that respect. But do you know how fast the WORLD'S circulation has been growing ? We have compiled statistics from our books which show a net gain ^^ ^Q pgf cent, in circulation for the first five weeks in the new year. The new subscribers are scattered over every state in the Union, with New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and California in the lead. Every one of these new subscribers is either a big retailer, jobber, or manu- facturer— every one a possible customer for some live house in the tobacco trade. Do you want to reach them ? THE TOBACCO WORLD will bring you before them, help your salesmen reach them and supply that electric spark which starts business a humming. Shall we turn on the current ? Send for advertising rates.

PHILADELPHIA AND NEW YORK, JUNE I. 1910. No. II French Monopoly Raises Cigar and Tobacco Prices. 1 1 1'^ new price lists on cigars, tobaccos and cigarettes, jnst issued by the I'rench Governnient, wliich has a ni(>n()j)<.)ly in I'rance, s1k)\vs that the figures arc from lo to 25 per cent, higiier than they have ever been before. Advocates of Ciovernnient ownership of the manu- facture and sale of public necessities will find little C(>mf<»rt in the example set by the French ( iovernment. For instance, the "scaferlati superieur", in packets con- taining 50 grammes, or t)ne and three-tifths ounces, which is the ordinary smoking tobacco i)f the people, is to be sold in future at one franc the packet, instead of 80 centimes. This is exactly $2 a pound. Twenty centime (4-cent) cigars are raised to 25 centimes (5 cents); 5c)-centime ( lo-cent ) cigars to fe centimes ( 12 cents), Russian cigarettes that have s«)ld at I franc 50 centimes (30 cents) the box will hereafter cost 2 francs 25 centimes, or 45 cents. And so on through the line, with some trilling exceptions. The cause for tliis advance in the price is attributed to the deficit in the I*>ench national finance, and as the income from the tax levied on tobacco forms one of the most impor- tant sources of revenue, naturally it i^ this commodity which is expected to bear the additional burden of increasing the income. In further connection with the advance in the prices of tobacco, it is interesting to note that tlie h'rench custom author- ities have instigatetl most rigorous examination for tobacco, cigars, cigar^es, etc., brought into I'rance, and whereas trav- elers were formerly allowed to enter the country with as high as 30 cigars, or 75 to 100 cigarettes, so long as they were declared for personal consumi)tion, the system now in vogue permits only 10 cigars, 20 cigarettes and i 1-3 ounce tobacco for male ])assengers oidy. Women and children are positively |)rohibited from bringing in any tobacco at all and heavy fines are inflicted for any attempt or supix)sc(l attempt at smuggling. The writer recalls vividly his own unpleasant experience at the French lx>rder two years since, when a few hundred Turkish cigarettes were seized and a fine of 600 francs levied, even after the declaration had been made. A recent rei)ort from Faris states that the I'Venchmen are very bitter against the Chancellor of the hLxcheciuer for this added tax on t(jbacco and cigars, and that they are now forming a "National Smoker's Defense League." which will aim directly at the consumption of higher grades of tobacco and agitate for a reduction in the prices. Members of the league have pledged themselves to smoke only the cheapest cai)oral cigar- ettes, which were not afifected by the recent advance in cost, and the outcome will be watched with interest. Joseph Robinson, manager of the cigar department of Thomas Martindale & Co., Market and Tenth streets, Phila- delphia, made a fortunate move when he secured for his firm the sole right to distribute the "Lord Montan" cigar, hereto- fore sold by E. G. Steane & Co., who recently retired from business. The cigar is an ambassador sha[)e and sells for five cents. The Steane Company sold thousands of them every month and built up a steady demand for them.

The result will be that tlie goods in stock in the l'nited States will be cleaned out pretty well by the time shipments are resumed from the Philippines.

Ontside of a limited (juanlity of good tobacco grown in the Province of La Union, no really lirst- class leaf has so far been produced in any part of the islands uut.>ide of the valley of the Cagayan Kiver, which includes the i'rovinces of Cagayan and isabela. The to- bacco land in this valley includes an area approximately eighty nules lung by thirty miles wide, commencing at Fchague in Isa- bela Province, and thence north as the river runs to the town of Alcala in Cagayan J'rovince. IJut the cultivated land of im- portance—that is, that land which is sub- ject to fertilization from the silt deposited by the annual overflow — extends back from the river on either side to a distance of from one-half of a mile to three miles. Along the course of two or three of the tributaries to the Ca- gayan River are also to be found good tobacco lands. The sole means for transi)orting the leaf tobacco to the port of Ai>arri at the mouth of the river is by cascoes— flat- bottomed scows— drawing from one to three feet of water. \n the dry season these boats get through with great difficulty on account of the numerous sand bars. Jn the wet season, steam launches of from three to four feet draft ply between jllagan and Aparri ; the only launches on the river able to tow loaded casc(>es, are owned by the Compania General de Tabacos de I^lipinas, which company also owns its own cascoes. The re- maining planters in order to get their crops through have to rely principally on poling their cascoes, although currents and sails assist. The cost of transi)ortation is a big item, which, including the steamship charges to Manila and cartage from the fields to the river banks, often adds 50 i)er cent, to the value of the tobacco laid down in the field. Added to this is the uncertainty of the river, due to the continuous shifting and forming of said bars, and the rise and fall of the river. ( )n a hectare of tobacco laiul there may be planted, accord- iug to the nature of the soil, from 10,000 to 16,000 plants; each plant is allowed to bear from fifteen to twenty leaves^ usually the latter, making the possible yield per hectare from 150,000 to 320,000 leaves. h:ighteen hundred pounds of to- bacco leaf to the hectare is considered a very good crop. There are about 21,000 agriculturists growing tobacco in the Cagayan valley, about 95 per cent, of this number being indeiKMident growers, that is to say, persons owning small parcels of^ land or working on shares with other small land owners. The remaining 5 per cent, of the tobacco growers constitute the workmen on the larger plantations. Four Ci.assk.s of Tor.xcco. It is the custom in the Cagayan valley to grade tobacco into four classes. First class tobacco means an almost perfect less than two hand spans in length, of a fine texture and veins, and not broken or punctured in any manner. Second class to- bacco is that of which the leaves are some- what smaller than the first, or large leaves which have been jiunctured, or have some other slight defect. The third and fourth classes are composed of yet smaller leaves and are classified on somewhat the same principle. It is only the tobacco of the first or second class that commands a fair price, and during the few months that have elapsed since the passage of the late tariff in Washington, the price of this leaf has increased aljout 70 per cent. Something over two years ago I spent several weeks in the Cagayan valley, visit- ing all of the larger haciendas and many of the smaller ones through the entire stretch of the tobacco lands. I found that the statements which 1 had read in late years to the effect that the tobacco crop of the Cagayan valley had greatly deterio- rated due to the negligence and ignorance of the tobacco grow- ers, were only too true. Upon my return to Manila I recom- mended to the Philippines Commission the giving of bounties, three in each tobacco Province, to those who would best care for the planting, the cultivation and the curing of their crops. My recommendations were favorably considered and Act No. 1767 of the Philippines Commission, as amended by Act No. 1917 of the Philippines Assembly, carries a continuing ap- l)ropriation from which these prizes or bounties are paid an- nually. But the experience of the last two years has demon- strated that, although these measures have assisted, the larger part of the evil remains to be cured by further radical action. Many men in and out of Government service have taken a keen interest in the improvement of the tobacco leaf of these Islands and have endeavored by advice and encouragement to get the ignorant planters to see wherein their best interests lie. One of these, Mr. George P. Banner, Provincial Treasurer at Tuguegarao, says in a late report:— "We have become cog- nizant of their illiteracy, their poverty and their almost com- plete ignorance of modem agricultural methods; we have observed their simple methods of living, their few necessities, and their consequent indifference to a betterment of their financial condition. We have gained a great deal of valuable infomiation, experience and insight into conditions; and have been instrumental in bringing about legislation which should prove of great advantage and benefit to the Philippines tobacco interest. We have shouldered the responsibility of placing on the market a standard product greatly increased in quantity. We have attempted to regulate the curing of tobacco by re- quiring the planter to smoothe his crop and pack it in the pre- scribed manner before selling it; and we have attempted to prohibit buyers from purchasing the tobacco unless smoothed and packed in this prescribed manner. In this attempt we have been only partly successful. The planter now harvests well-flavored leaf; it must be wide and light in color and not his crop in his o^n way; cures it in the sun ; in u n suited budd- THE TOBACCO WORLD II o WmwB ®?

He later smoothes the tobacco in order to comply with the Internal Revenue regulations, but he does not exercise due care and diligence in this work. More times than not he wets the leaves with water and slightly presses out the wrinkles. His only object is to finish quickly. He has sold his tobacco at a sacrifice and he considers this extra work as thrown away, because he does not receive any compensation worthy of mention for the labor involved." How TO Improve Conditions. Mr. Banner also makes valuable recommendations for the improvement of this undesirable condition. He suggests that the tobacco regions could be divided into districts with an expert who would also be a practical tobacco man in charge of each district and that text-books dealing with tobacco should be introduced in the schools. There has been great divergence of opinion as to whether or not the Philippines Government should resort to methods similar to those of the Spanish Government thirty years ago, when labor in the Cagayan valley was enforced, when bad to- bacco was burned on the fields, and when good tobacco in the Manila markets was the rule and not the exception as it is now. All agree, however, that something should be done, and no doubt something soon will be done. Filipino Eapeils Auorting Tobacco on Straw Mats f . , One Third Section of Germinal Factory, where 230,000 Ggarettea are made daily Something over a year ago, while in Washington, I was requested by the Secretary of War to return to the Philippine Islands and obtain certain sugar and tobacco data for the use of Congress at its coming session. In accordance with cables which I sent from Washington, this work was begun before my arrival here. It took five months of very assidious labor on the part of provincial treasurers and other officials, and in- ternal revenue agents, and involved an inspection of each tract of tobacco land in the Cagayan valley, and the compilation of maps showing the various tracts, their production, and all other data relating to manufacture, imports, exports, etc. I shall quote a few of the total figures for the Islands for the year 1908: There were actually planted in tobacco 61,605 acres; the municipal councils further reported 1 10,727 acres as adapted to tobacco culture, but not actually planted, which together with that actually planterl makes a grand total of 172,332 acres. The actual production of tobacco leaf was 38,725.441 pounds, which would have been increased to 108,328,832 pounds had all of the land adapted to tobacco culture been actually planted. The official statistics show that there were 23.264.901 pounds of leaf tobacco exported, 115,768,000 cigars exported, of an average weiglit of twelve and one-fifth pounds, per thou- 12 THE TOBACCO WORLD sainl of a total weight of 1,412, },(xj ixninds, and about 325,000 pounds of tobacco in othtr forms, mostly cij^arcttes and smok- \u^ and cJKwinj,'. making a total of over 25,(XX),ooo jxjunds of I'liiiipjiinc tobacco exported in all forms.

The petition, as presented to the Fire Insurance Ex- change of New York, requests the abolition of the addi- tional 10% exacted on account of the San Francisco fire, and has been denied. However, the request that the specific warehouse rate to be reduced is still under consideration by the Warehouse Committee. .Should this committee act unfavorably, it is Mr. Dolbeer's intention to secure an attor- ney to represent the Association before the Insurance Com- mission in an effort to force favorable action. THE TOBACCO WORLD C^ TIHIE IPOEE F©@P €©MMIISS!I© (S©3mrM©L €II€AMS? in FRANK Af. liOSW'ORTJ/. X view of the radical changes and vast improvnnents which have been brought about by national legisla- tion, and the work of the Xational Pure Food Com- ■^ mission, the agitation of a number of prominent manufacturers, especially by 1^. Regensburg & Sons, to place the manufacture and sale of cigars under the supervision of the Xational Pure Food Commission, opens a field of wide thought, and one which could be .studied with profit to the in- dustry at large. Cigars, perhaps, more than any other class of mercluindise, are st)ld on honor, and owing to this conditi<»n manv unscrupulous dealers take advantage of their customers. Ilai'tiiui grown tobacco is the undoubted standard of value in the industry, and as there is no law to-day against misrepresentation, many varieties of tobacco which were never within hundreds of miles of the Island of Cuba, are sold to smokers as Havana products. I'orto Rico tobacct). straight or blended with domestic tobaccos — while of excellent worth in its class — and many domestic tobacc(^s, are sold as Ilaiana. Tobacco grown from the seed and cultivated in the United States, commonly known as "Seed Havana", is frecpiently offered without the prefix *\Seed", and who is there to deny? It can be readily seen by these examples that a dealer, desirious of so bacc(» a cigar contains is in the smoking thereof, and that when a dealer claims his goods to be only partially Havana, it is (|uile |K)ssible that if an analysis is called for, a jxirtion t>f the cigar already smoke.lic and Cuban manufacturers. ( )r if it were necessary, a commi->sion could be organize»l which wouhl take uj) the matter from the leaf standj)oint and comj)el both tlie leaf dealer, as well as the mamifacturer. to guarantee the <|uality of his good>.

Why do they continually get "let in" by purchasing goods said t(> be up to the mark at a ridiculously k)w figure? The answer is that they are all k)oking for something for nothing. And the «>utcome in most cases is that they get nothing for something. Those who advertise marvelously cheap goods whet I he appetite of the public for more, and often the result is that the (|uality of the goods is reduced. The man who has not a great stock of ability to sell should not ask too much for it. The employe who is continually seeking more than he, or she. i"^ worth will never get it — for long. On the other hand, the employer who is continually hunting for help at less than it is worth gets the p(K>rest class of labor — the most unskilled and unreliable.

Tampa, May 30.— The Pride Cigar Company has adopted a unique plan to advertise its brands in "a twi>-year camj)aigu from Tampa to Denver."

Senator Bevcridge and Tobacco Coupons. An attempt to resurrect the anti-tobacco coupon bill, which passed the Senate last year as a part of the tariff bill and which was thrown out in conference, is being made by Senator Heveridge, oi Indiana. The senator was quite enthused on this sul)ject last year and desires to prevent the use of coupons entitling hold- ers to gifts and pictures, such coupons being found in pack- ages of tobacco. The senator argues that these gift coupons are meretricious in their effects on trade and that they tend to create false standards, and to delude the unwary into buying certain makes of tobacco to the general detriment of the industry. The Attorney General of the United States endeavored to have the hearing of the Tobacco and Standard Oil cases by the Supreme Court on October 31st. "The Ides of Attorneys for the ct)mpanies suggested November." tliat it would be better to ti.x the date after the Congressional elections and the court concurred, naming November 14th. There will be a heap doing when the ne.xt Congressmen are voted for. It is a time of agitation and deep portent, and men are wondering where the comet will show its tail. Al- together, the arguments on Tobacco and Standard ( )il will he the most momentous that were ever heard in the Su- preme Court Chambers. Seemingly they will go to the bot- tom of the question as to whether wealth can operate in an aggregate way and whether the alliance of industries en- gaged in one commodity can unite for common ends. The personality of Governor Hughes, of New York, will be injected into the bench of judges at that time, and it is complimentary to that great lawyer that both sides are confident of fair treatment at his hands. The article published in our last issue on the "Cigar Mer- chants' Standing," from the able pen of Albert I). Miller, the Philadelphia tobacconist, has struck a re- sponsive chord among cigar merchants generally. Mr. .Miller contended, and rightfully, too, that the personnel of the men behind the counter, as well as the pro- prietors in cigar stores to-day, can com|)are in character and ability with the merchants in any other legitimate line. The day has long passed, we believe, when the cigar mer- chant can be looked down upon. More men of probity and keen business judgment are being attracted every day to the cigar and tobacco business, and as the number of this class increases, the weaklings and the unscrupulous are being elun- inated. It is a truism that all men will eventually fnid their level, and this applies to the tobacco trade as well as to any other branch of business. In these keen days of competition, when business is a duel of wits as well as prices, the cigar merchant to succeed nuist be a man of no ordinary ability. Mr. Miller's article emphasizes all these points emphatically, and, coming as they do from a dealer, are particularly appropriate.

Mr. Sutter makes his head(|uarters in Chicago, but spends a greater part of his time at his stock farm in Delaware Lake, Wisconsin, where he will now go and enjoy a well-earned rest. Milton V. Sutter, in speaking for his house, said the Sumatra situation at the present time is simply one of supply and demand, the demand being the greater. W hile there is plenty of good gooih to be had the light tobacco which most of the buyers want is very scarce and conse(|uently very high priced, and in order to get the light, large assorted (juantities must be purchased and afterwards graded. The foreign gov- ernments are buying in large (luantities in spite of the fact that the cigar industry over there is not in a prosperous con- (htion. Jt is estimated that in Germany alone there are 80,000 cigarmakers either on part time or out of employment. Of course, on the whole the Sumatra sui)ply is short and this country will sulTer this season to an extent of about 11,000 bales. Jle stated they had purchased about 1,000 bales and hoped to get considerably more through their Amsterdam brokers during the coming sales. One hundred and eighty-one bales of their recent purchases came over on the "Rvndam". Mr. Sutter leaves New York, June ist, on a special trip to Philadelphia with the new line of samples. Death of Harry Hayv^ard. Harry Hayward, a noted authority on pipes and for many years pipe expert of the United Cigar Stores Co., died in New York on May i8th. Mr. Hayward was an intimate friend of Mark Twain's, and sold to the noted humorist most of his tobacco supplies and calabash pipes. The deceased was born in Colchester, England, on March 21, 1866. He studied the pipe business at the factory bench and soon became an expert. When the United Cigar Stores Co. was formed he joined that corporation and for some years past has been associated with the Flatiron store in New York. Tom Allen Incorporates Cigar Company.

He expects to return to the city about June ist. THE TOBACCO WORLD 19 . JOHN WARDLOW Prnident |ACK of every business wdiich has achieved success is a brain and personality, or organization of brains and j)ersonalities which is deserving of study by all keen merchants. In l(X)king for the secret of the rapid development of the Ruy Lopez Ca. in the last five years, one finds a dual combination of brains and personalities. The men behind the guns in the Ruy Lopez business are two interesting figures — John Wardlow, president, and Thomas G. Thompson, vice-president and treasurer. There are few men in the cigar business in this country who are better known and more popular than John Wardlow. Born in the Middle W'est, he first dipped into business as a traveling salesman for a tobacco manufacturing concern. Later he became identified with Sanchez & Haya, for whom he trav- eled until he joined the Havana Commercial Co., making his headquarters in Cuba's capital. About seven years ago Mr. Wardlow went to New York to join the Ruy Lopez Co. Real- izing at once the superior facilities of Key West as a manu- facturing centre, he (juickly arranged to move the factory to Florida and laid plans for its development. There a modern factory Iniilding was erected, which was a model of modern facilities. This factory was destroyed by a hurricane last THOMAS G. THOMPSON Vice Preaidenl and Tre«Mirer October, since which time the company has l)een operating in temporary (juarters, pending the re-erection of the building. A new building is now one-third completed and it is expected to be ready for occupancy by September ist. It was a most fortunate move when Mr. Wardlow, about four years ago, secured the services of Thomas (]. Thompson, who has just recently become vice-president and treasurer of the company. Mr. Thompson is a man of forceful executive ability, an organizer who got results, and a director of sales- manship with few peers. Mr. Thompson at once took charge of the New York oflfice and Mr. Wardlow remained at Key West to direct the factory end. This combination has proverdinand Frdman. He is a graduate of the New York College of Dentistry and has served as a member of the Board of Alderman. He will probably assume his duties this week. The A. P. Parascouly Co., of New York, has !)een incor- porated with a capital of $50,000 to manufacture and deal in cigars, cigarettes, snuff, pipes, etc. The incorporators are Thomas Adam, Thomas J. Bannon and Charles Marks, all of New York City. James G. Driscoll. of Ruth & Driscoll, the well-known brokers and representatives of R, G.

Another advertising campaign is soon to be opened in this city on the "Tom Keene" brand of Hondy & Lederer, of New York, and which are distributed here by Cioldsmith & .\nidt. Cardboard signs have been prepared, which depict Tom Keene, the former noted actor, handing out a box of "Tom Keene" cigars to a clul)man who is reclining in an arm chair. It is an artistic piece of work and can be very advantageously used in window displays. Yahn & McDonnell are celebrating their seventh business anniversary. b>om the inception of this business, their every effort has been crowned with success, and they steadily worked their way into the front ranks of the retail trade in this city. Catering especially to a high class of patrons they naturally carried such a line of the best goods, and to this fact they attribute their success. . A local Havana importing firm reiK)rts the sale of 300 bales of Havana tobacco to a manufacturing establishment. This is the sales .sale of more than average (juantity which local liou>es have participated in lately and it has given this city consider- able additional prestige as an Havana market. Harry Strater, of the Strater Tobacco Co., Louisville, Ky., was in town last week. There was recently placed in this market the "Hindoo" granulated plug cut, retailing at ten cents, and met with a good reception here. The Griffin-Keegan Company are still directing their efforts to a wider distribution of the "Aplomo" clear Havana cigars from the factory of Solomon I»ros. & Stern, of Xevv York. The goods are being shown in fifteen sizes. A new retail cigar store and pool room has been opened at 1030 Filbert street by Joseph McCarthy, it is being e(|uip- ped in a mission style of furniture and will no doubt present an attractive appearance. The store will be opened as soon as the fixtures can be installed. A. S. Valentine & Sons' Phila(lelj)hia factories have been rushed the past two months to supi)ly the trade. They have not only done a big business on their regular brands, but have developed a tremendous trade in their special grades.

Manufacturers who pro- duce larj^'e cigars exclusively, and they alone, will not be re- <|uireil to take an inventory, as the tax rate of ."s^ per thousand on their product remains unchanged. The necessary blanks, b'orm 70a (revised September, vt<^)), and b'orm job (new blank), for the taking of the re- <|nired invent<»ries, will be distributed by collectors not later than June joth. next. The new blank (Form /ob), which will be used on and after July i, 1910, by all manufacturers (►f cigars and cigarettes, provides for inventorying stami)ed manu- factures and attached stamps in addition to nnstamj)ed cigars anbacco material for the outside storage of which special permission has been obtained, for the reason that their accoiuits are determined thereby. Xo amended inventory, which is iWt'i] after the manu- facturer receives notice of a deficiency in his accounts, will be considered. The Commissioner will further serve notice in his in- structions that reported by manufacturers at the close of the day on which the stamped packages arc removed from the factory instead of when stamps are affixed to packages, as at present. .Stamps will be reported used also at the close of the ks, l-'onn 73; monthly returns.

Cigar Price Tag Holders. \1- {m^ over street of the most useful articles for the ])rogressive ealer is a neat price tag holder, for use on boxes on isj)lay in show cases or on counters. The Milwaukee Novelty Company, of 390 11 an- . Milwaukee, Wis., is the manufacturer of such an article and which is alreadv in use in a large number of establishments through- out the country. This cigar price tag holder can be attached from either end or top of the cover, and it holds the tag l)erfectly. The i)rice tags are printed in two colors and are furnished in thirty different designs at prices that are reasonable. Selling Direct From Factory. There are probably not many successful cigar manufac- turers who sell all their product direct from the factory, and, therefore, A. 1). Killheffer, of Millersville, Pa., is an exception. And yet his goods have found their way intt) many sections of the country, where many friends have been made. \\y doing a mail order business exclusively, Mr. Killheffer, wIkj bears the reinitation of being an expert judge of tobacco <|uality, is enabled to devote his time to the manufacture of his go<»ds, and besides he declares that by eliminating the middle- man he is in a position to successfully meet competition and give dealers the advantage of better prices than could be done if an expensive selling plan were being conducted. It has been fre(|Uently observed that really «lull periods are almost unknown at this factory, and by maintaining a uni- form force of cigarmakers prompt shijHiients can be assured. Particular stress is laid upon the "Patrick Gordon" brand from this factory, and which is |K)rtrayed in an announcement in the advertising columns of this issue. In addition to this the factory also produces the following: "King High," "Cuban l>rownies," "Mandolay," "Forecaster," "Lord Kroyden" and others. J. J. Planco, of Ruy Suarez & Co., will be back about June loth from his western trip. "Jack" consummated one hand- some deal in Chicago that proves the popularity of these high- grade goods, and which means an additional number of cigar- makers to the factory. Hall, Lyons & Co., of Providence, K. L, with their several stores, and B. Lett, of Boston, have also fallen into line since he left New York.

Imports of leaf from Cuba for the month ending to-day totals 3.107 bales. Considering the sea- son, the orders that are being received, and their size, all tends to confirm the feeling and belief that 1910 is going to prove the banner year in the manufacturer of high grade cigars at this place. M. W. P.erriman and Manuel Sanchez, resident manager of the P.erriman factory here, have gone to Havana to look over the leaf market. b.dward Sachs, who represents ilalbin Prothers on the Pacific Coast ( min more cigarmakers. I'.ach week's business more firmly convinces the manufacturers that 1910 will be the best year in the history of the cigar manufacturing business in this city. Every manufacturer in Key West is very much interested in the DenKxrratic primary which will be held on June jlh. The office which attracts the greatest amount of attention is that of United States Senator. James V. Taliaferro, one of the can- didates. siw)ke to a large audience last night. He has been a great friend of the clear Havana manufacturer, having, dur- ing his eleven years of service in the Cniteerrim'ui. of I'.erriman P>ros. The work on the new Lopez factory is progressing very satisfactorily. The S. & F. Fleitas Company expects to move into the new factory in about three weeks. The work on this structure is being rushed and it will be completed in about that time. After the firm moves, Mr. Francisco Fleitas expects to make a trip to New York and FLavana. Orders for the "Homeric" brands of this company are far in excess of last year. The E. H. Gato Cigar Company made a fairly large shij*- ment last week. There were 235.000 cigars in the lot and they all went to S. Bachman & Co., San l^^rancisco. A shijiment of this size is made to this firm about four times a month. James R.

Exports of This Country Show a Slight Falling-otf. Washington, D. C. May 31st. V.W t<»l)acco. cigars and cigarettes have taken a p.>sition among the leading articles of export and import that characterize the foreign trade of the Ciiited States, according l(» the monthly statement of the I'.ureau of .statistics of the l)ei)artment of Commerce and Lab«»r just issued. The statement covers the exj)orts and imj)orts in March, as well as for the nine months enonding periixls of last year. lm|)orts of leaf tobacco in March. i<)io. totaled two and five-tenths million dollars in value, as compared with two and one-tenth millions in n/^;. h'or the nine months ending with March, in njio. the total value of the imi)orts of leaf tobacco was twenty-two and nine-tenths millions, while for the same period in i<^^; the total was twenty-one ami six-tenths mil- lions. Cigars and cigarettes to the value of four-tcntlis of a mil- lion dollars were imi)orted during March, 1910, while the ag- gregate for the same month in i«>(x; was three-tenths of a mil- li.». While the incoming ships were laden with these commodi- ties, those departing from the Cnited States carried exports of leaf tobacco in .March of this year to the extent of twt» ami three-tenths milli(»ns. a•^ compared with two and fiuir-tenths millions in March. i<;oi() the exports of leaf tobacco totaled thirtv and eight-tenths millions, and for the same time in K/^x) twentv- four and six-tenths milli. and the exports to that country during the ten months of the fiscal year einling with April show a larger growth than those to any other itf the important countries of the world. Among these exfxtrts unmanufactured tobacco holds a commanding position, the total for the ten months ending with April 30th. of this year, being ii.4(>5.S42 i)ounds. This is a slight increase over the amount for the same period in Mycn), the total for the latter having been 1 1.348.020 poimds. Greenly Relieves Replevin. The writ of replevin against J. H.

[.eder- man. manager of the Universal Tobacco Company, of Lancas- ter, and referred to in our last issue, has been released. The action against Mr. Greenly was prompted by the fact that he had refused to let some tobacco be removed until an old account had been settled, but that all ditTerences have since been adjusted and the goods released. 28 THE TOBACCO WORLD 1^ Tk(B Conlbiiisi From Our Exclusive Bureau 36 Zulueta Havana, Cuba. Havana, May 2t^. f j^ ll/llIOUCj] I showers were universal in Cuba for three [y^ I ossible to say anything authoritatively about the merits of the 1910 crop in general, but while the judgment may be suspended until after the fennentation process in the bales, it is but rea.sonable to say that we shall have some good t«tl)acco this year. The leaf market has ruled rather cjuiet during the past f(»rtnight, as the number of buyers from the I'nited States has been very small, and some of the Tampa and Key West manu- facturers came here more for the purpose of posting themselves alKHit the coming crop than for buying. Some people claim that stocks held by mamifacturers and dealers in the United States arc i)lentiful, and for this reason the former are not anxious about the future, showing a waiting disposition before investing more in tobacco. H this be true, then it ought to reflect upon our market and make our packers and leaf dealers cautious in i)aying the exorbitant demands of our farmers. So far, this has been the case, and excej)ting some transactions of Partido tobacco, nothing of any amount has been done in X'uelta Abajo or Remedios, even if most of the buyers are out in the country taking notes and looking at the principal \'egas which they would like to acquire later. Heretofore, the practice has been for one or two leaders to open the campaign, fixing the prices to be paid, and then the rest of the buyers would follow suit for fear that they would be left without any tobacco. The trouble comes in, however, where the farmer of a poor crop insists upon obtaining the same figures as his neighbor has received for a good Vega, and at this stage of the game the expert buyer has to use his judg- ment in not conceding too high a price for inferior tobacco. These same tactics, however, hold good in the United States as well as in Cuba, and a waiting policy has to be adopted to tire out the Veguero, before the latter will sell his crop. Sales during the fortnight total 3,229 bales, or divided into Vuelta Abajo, 2,164; Partidt*, 95; Remedios, 770, and Mayari, 200 bales. lUiyers were: For the American market. 1322; for Europe, 700; for South America and Australia, 412, and for local consumption, 795 bales. Exix)rts of leaf tobacco from the port of Havana from May 2 to May 21, 1910, were: To all ix)rts of the United States 9-7^7 bales " " " " Europe 871 - " South America 667 " " Melbourne, Australia 30 " " North Coast of Africa, Algiers 32 ** Total II ,367 bales Principal Buyer.s Who Comk and Go.

There is very little change to report in the cigar manufac- turing line, as conditions have not materially improved; the larger factories are kept busy and the smaller ones have few orders. There will be no betterment until the new crop shall be ready for working purposes, about August at the earliest. For France, the French liner "La Champagne" carried a large shipment of 219 cases of 10,000 each, amounting to 2,190,000 cigars. The next boat, on June 15, may also show a good-sized export again, but after that date it will be October or Novem- ber before the heavy orders will be executed again by the French Regie. The raise in the duties may not curtail the ship- ments to the Regie materially, but it may kill oflf the private orders. It seems the craze for light colors will not go down, like l>anc|uo's ghost, as the importers of the United States still call for light colors, when they ought to know better, that such colors at this time of the year are almost gone, except perhaps III " THE TOBACCO WORLD 29 in the hands of two or three of our largest factories. Whether the new crop may have a sufficiency of light colors remains yet to be seen. Falling Off in Cigar Exports. The following figures, taken from official Custom House returns, show the exports of cigars from the port of Havana during the years 1909 and 19 10, from January i to April 30, viz.: From Jan. i to April 30, 1909 61,578,249 cigars " " " " " 1910 53.299.219 " Decrease in 1910 8,279,030 cigars and which shows a betterment of almost half a million cigars in the decrease against the previous fortnight. IL l^pmann & Co. report a satisfactory trade for this time of the year. Charles Landau, their energetic United States and Canadian representative, is supplying steady orders from his extensive territory. Business with other countries is also fair, as the old established brand of H. Upmann is too well known all over the globe for its uniform fine quality ever to lack orders. Sol is working along steadily under a good headway. La Diligencia continues the even tenor of its firmly estab- lished business. Henry Clay & Bock & Co., Ltd., state that conditions are very satisfactory, as orders are as plentiful as they could expect at the end of the season. Mr. Frank Arango returned this week from a short trip to Tampa. La Escepcion factory was in mourning, owing to the death of the widow of the late Jose Gener, but as the only daughter is her sole heiress and will continue the business as heretofore, the only change which might occur is to change the title from "Viuda de Jose Gener" to "Hija de Jose Gener," in accordance with Spanish laws and which still hold good for Cuba. For Larranaga regretted the untimely death of their buyer, Joaquin Quintanal, last week. Busy factories are : Romeo y Julieta, Partagas, Castaneda, Flor de P. A. Estanillo, Redencion and Carlos E. Beck & Co. El Credito is holding its own and business from the United States is showing a steady increase for Rodriguez y Hnos., as their cigars compare very favorably with other imported Ha- vana cigars. Buying, Selling and Other Notes of Interest. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez sold 325 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios. They have not started their escojidas yet, but expect to do so next month. Fred J. Davis purchased nearly 800 bales while he was here. Rodriguez Bautista & Co. were sellers of 449 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios. They have one escojida working at Artemisa already on Temprano tobacco and which promises to yield as fine tobacco as it has always done. Marcelino Perez has started in to buy already, and is said to have closed deals for 300 bales so far. Bruno Diaz & Co. disposed of 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. Jose Lozano purchased 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo for his Tampa factory. Fernando Fernandez y Hno closed out 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Avelino Pazos & Co. sold 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo to their customers. Don Avelino returned from his flying trip to New York, in order to give his partner, Don Juan Pino, a chance to visit his native country (Spain) this summer. A. M.

I?p?rl^ Big Chicago Deal on The San Felice. Steele, Wedeles & Co. Arrange to Distribute Popular Five-Cent Cigars — Other Trade Notes. "Cmc.M.o, May 31. ^'Y^il IIXGS have been very (]uiet in Chicago during the last 1. I two weeks. The great amusement parks have had small crowds, but the general outl(»(>k for June is very good. No big deals have been consummated with perhaps «>ne exception — that of Steele, Wedeles & Co. taking over the San Felice," made by Deisel-W'emmer Co.. Lima. Ohio. Their con- tract calls for a case a day, and this, with the **Tom Keene," is keeping them busy. J. & B. Moos are billboarding the city on the "Sydney Dillon" five-cent cigar. There has only been one five-cent cigar that has made what could be called a real successs in the last two years in Chicago, and that cigar is the "Xew I'achelor." distributed by !•'. Hoff- man Co. They are away behind on their t)rders. Alexander Herbert, of Philip M(»rris & Co., passed through Chicago last week. His famous "Cambridge" cigarette has been raised to $18.75 P^^ thousand beginning June ist. This is a raise of 25 cents per thousand. The trade discotmts will remain the same. R. C. Koutzer, of Jacob Stahl. Jr., & Co., spent last week in Chicago; he has made a very nice connection with Ryan iS: Raphael Cigar Co. on his brand "bVesli Rolls'. Ryan vK- Raphael have moved into their new cpiarters in the integer Building. Their new humidor, with a capacity of a million cigars, is one of the finest in the city. Some of the brands they are featuring are the "Lucius", made by Corral W'odiska & Co. ; Flor de Mendel, Partagas, Romeo y Julieta, etc.. etc. The new Chicago & Northwestern R. R. Co. de|x)t termi- nal is rapidly nearing completion. This will open up a district which heretofore has been limited to the wholesale business, and ought to give opportunity for a live cigar business. The new Sherman House is progressing very rapi been (iecideclly cool, and niit'av(»rahle. i\t a directors' nieeling of the Vahr and Lange l)rug i (>., wholesalers and jobbers of cigars, L. A. Lange was elected j)resident to succeed h'erdinand T. \'ahr, deceased; h'red !•". Vahr was elected secretary, and C. (j. lM)ster, director; making the organization complete. Treasurer Rosenthal was elected at the annual meeting in b'ebruary. The company is • MK' *n of the st(>re to a barber, which will reduce the ruiniing expenses considerably. They also plan to jMit in a partition at the extreme rear and convert the space int(» a smoking and lounging room for customers. The factory may be discontinued. T.

W lSg> Exploiting Florida and Georgia Tobacco HLN the Florida Tobacco Commission Company was organized al^out one year ago to develop the growth and .sale of tobacco grown on Florida and Georgia soil, the men back of it foresaw big opportunities. It was known that the high quality of tobacco grown in that region commended it to the most discriminating manufacturers, and that much of b^orida-grown tobacco was being used by some manufacturers, who were wont to pass oft' this product as imported. It was realized that once the tobacco grown in that territory was bought and used solely on its merits, that the consuming public would recognize its superiority and a more general usage result. To properly exploit b'lorida and Georgia tobacco before the cigar manufacturers, then, was one of the rtrst problems which the newly organized company took up. In the short time that it has been in the tiebl. this company has extended the scope of its operations until to-da\- it is operating tive large warehouses in ( Jadsden county, b'lorida. and Decatur county, Ga., in which they have stored 550,0(X) jxmnds of tobacco of the Mjcxj crop. This tobacco is now being sorted and packed, and it is predicted that the entire packing will be completed early this month. One of the prime movers in the Florida company is Wil- liam M. Corr>', the president. Mr. Corry is no stranger to the tobacco business, having l)een associated with Straiton & Storm and their successors, the Owl Commercial Co., for more than thirty years. In 1887 Mr. Corry went to Ouincy, Fla., where he established the extensive plantation interests of Straiton & Storm, including nearly 15,000 acres of land. Mr. Corry acted as general manager of this business up to last May, when he resigned to embark for himself. Mr. Corry is thoroughly familiar with all the branches of the business, from the seed T beds tu the hnal packing of the tobaco* in warehouses. iMir tifteen years he was engaged in the cigar manufacturing busi- ness. The company which he organized is an independent con- cern and is not in any way affiliated with the merger of the large Florida tobacco interests which has recently been con- summated. The tobaccos packed by this companv are now being ofTered to the trade and some of the largest jobbers in the country are already enrolled as customers. Change in Size of Revenue Stamps.

J. .Simson, of the newly organized cigar manufacturing firm of Dana-Cates, Simson Co., at Ironton, O.. was visiting friends in this city this week. Mr. Simson informs us that operations will be commenced on Monday next with a force of ai)out y^ hands, and that the tirm has gcMxl i)rospects ahead for a tine volume of business. [. Bowman ik P.ro., of this city, have ju.st completed their packing of Pennsylvania tobacco, and l)egan on 1909 Zimmer .Si)anish, which was purchased some weeks ago by the head of the linn, who was then driving in Ohio, and they are well pleased with the selections. Present indications look like a walk-over for A. B. Mess, a well-known local packer of leaf tobacco, who is a candidate for the State Legislature. Mr. Hess not only has the endorse- ment of the republican organization, but of a large number of inllueiicial business men as well. ( i. Miiiry .Sachs, well-known manufacturer and retailer at ]^(\ Last King street, has secured the services of Roy llacken- berger. who is a well-known young man about town, as a cit> salesman and clerk in the store. Simon .Shissler, local distributor of Regensburg's "Amer- ican" cigars, made a special feature of that line of goods in a wind«)W dis})lav this week, and which no doubt will ])rove of value to the goods ill this city. L. L. Straus, at 1^)7 Queen street, whose establishment was closed by financial difficulties, has not yet succeeded in elTecting an adjustment of his aflfairs. The cigar industry now shows some signs of improvement, and several local manufacturers are advertising for more cigar- makers. This is. indeed, an encouraging sign, and it is to be hoped that it will be of some permanency. Changes in the Reading Factories. Removals and Enlargements Necessitated by Growing Business. Reading, Pa., May 28th. HIIL cigar industry here has shown considerable im- provenient during the |)ast two weeks, and by some factories atlditional cigannakers are needed. Good hands would have no difficulty in obtaining employ- ment in Reading at satisfactory wages and steady work. Orders have lately come in at an increasing rate to Yocum Bros., for their "V-B" and "Spana Cuba" brands. A full force of cigannakers is at work. 11. (i. Burky was recently among the more fortunate manufacturers in booking good sized orders, having scheduled one for 250,000 cigars from one large Western distributing house. Mr. Burky's goods have also attracted attention on the Coast and recently some attractive business has come in from .San Francisco. The present factory facilities are taxed. Lo- cally this line of union made cigars is also growing in public favor, and a large numl^er of stores now carry them in stock. Lline & Kutz have again outgrown their (|uarters on North TLleventh street, and will shortly remove to 133-135 .\orth Third street, where they have purchased a building which is now being renovated. This firm was established about five years ago, and since that time they have made three moves, each time into larger (piarters, but they believe they now have a building which will meet all re(|uirements for many years to come. Charles Ream, since his removal from 411 Washington street, which premises he sold recently, has located at 329 Washington street. Joseph 1. Levy, of the Ashland Cigar and Tobacco Co.? recently visited the trade in Reading, and placed several nice sized orders for goods for later shipment. The retail store of Charles W'. Potteiger, at Sixth and Washington streets, is undergoing extensive interi(jr renova- tions, which will greatly add to its present attractiveness. George W. Lehr, at 912 Penn street, is planning an ex- tensive campaign of exploitation on his "Potentate" cigar. This cigar is not a new product, but already has many follow- ers in various parts of the country, and Mr. Lehr feels that the cigar deserves more ])ublicity than he has heretofore given it. \V. W'. Stewart & Son are now putting the tinishing touches on their new factory, at Greene and Cedar streets, by giving it a coat of paint on the exterior in vermilion red. It is a strong contrast with the buildings around it, and is very noticeable from a considerable distance. W. W. Reigel, leaf dealer, at Third and Greenwich, is devoting much of his time to the erection of a new building immediately adjoining his warehouse, and which when com- pleted is to be used for an automobile garage. Theodore Bixby, with the American .Sumatra Tobacco Co., was a recent visitor in Reading. Mr. King, representing IL A. Tyler & Co., manufacturers of cigar box lumber, at Cincinnati, O., has recently called on the box manufacturers in this vicinity. Clarence Levy, of the International Seal and Knot Pro- tector Co., Philadelphia, who was a late visitor here, has placed a new seal for use in shipping cigar cases among cigar manu- facturers. Berks. William T. Taylor, U. S. representative of Rodriguez, Arguelles & Cia, left on May 13th for a two weeks' trip to Chicago and the Middle West in the interest of the Romeo y Julieta. At the new cigar store of Edward Mayer, 34 John street. New York, the leading brands shown include the "Webster," "William IV" and "Belinda" cigars. THE TOBACCO WORLD 33 if i^ I York Factories Rushed With Orders. Manufacturers Handicapped By Scarcity of Skilled Workmen. York, P.\., May 2S. I^IGAR MANUFACTURERS here seem to think they V^ I have all the troubles in the world. And judging from their constant complaint, they have many troubles. Only a short time ago they complauied bitterly of a m lack of orders, and now the cry among not a few is that they cannot get cigannakers enough to get goods out fast enough lo fill orders promptly. And so it goes on from one thing to another. One of the oldest and largest manufacturers in this city explained to the writer the other day that the city was becoming overrun with industrial establishments, employing both male and female help, and that higher wages were being paid in other lines than cigarmaking would atford. During the pro- tracted dull spell in the cigar trade many workmen found employment in other lines and are now reluctant to return to the cigarmaker's bench. Besides this, very few apprentices have been taken on during the past few years, and yet some new factories have located in York drawing from former factories. The makers of higher grades of goods are feeling it most, because they cannot so readily secure an additional supply of goods from factories around in the county. A general improvement, however, is noticeable in the cigar trade, and, in fact, a few factories have done some night work in the hope of getting some stixrk ahead. Celestino Costello ^ Co. are at present among the verv busy ones, and have been advertising extensively ior adilitional cigarmakers, at a good rate of wages. They have need for an increased production of their "Barrister," a ten-cent cigar, and "The Roundup," a nickel product. Seth Warner, of Herman Warner ik Co., returned recently from a business trip through the Middle West, where he met with good success in the introduction of their "Pulliam" brand, and their force of cigarmakers is being increased as rapidly as possible. John F. Reichard, leaf dealer, made a flying visit to Pitts- bugh this week. He closed an important sale of leaf and re- turned to York, all within thirty-six hours. H. G. Blasser, of H. G. Blasser & Co., Ltd., leaf dealers, returned this week from a several weeks' trip through Western Pennsylvania and Ohio. Jos. Wedeles, of Wedeles Bros., Chicago, accompanied by Mr. Miller, their traveling representative, called on the trade here this week. J. K. PfaltzgrafT & Co. have secured the services of E. C. Williams as traveling representative, and who is taking up the territory heretofore covered by the late Robert Mortland, of Pittsburgh. During his initial trip over a part of the territory he succeeded in opening several desirable new accounts on their "College Widow" cigar, which is a nickel leader with this firm. W'hen C. S. Gable returned to his office at factory head- (juarters here this week, he found that orders had come in from all sides by mail, and, adding to it the list brought in by him. his factories will be kept busy for .some time to come.

Leaf men also enjoyed a more extensive trade during the past two weeks, with collections nuich improve»l. showing conclusively that fact(»rie^ are feeling a return of bet- ter times. On Monthly last the well-known leaf firm i»f W. Kemi)er & Sons had one of the heaviest day's business that they had experienced in some time. Every letter received contained an order for some goods. The .salesmen started out oi\ .Momlay and almost immediately some business was reported bv them. Mr. Brockman, with (i. Liebman tS: Dellevie. leaf packers and dealers, returned to (»ftice head(|uarters on Mondav last, after a short, but very satisfactory business trip through Penn- .sylvania. Some notable changes have taken place to the cigar store at German and Calvert streets, since Lewis C'. .^chetfey cV Co. succeeded the Brink von Hartz Co., some weeks ago. The store, with its solid cherry fixtures, is one of the most attract- ive in the central part of the «;ity. and has been thoroughly re- stocked with a complete line of high-grade good> and smokers' articles. In addition to several leading brands of imported Ha- vana cigars, a prominent |)lace is given to products of E. Re- gensburg & .Sons. *"American" ; C(»rtez Cigar Go's. "Cortez", Duncan & Moorehead's "Marcello", and the Sanchez & Haya line. •Mthough Colonel Schefley is giving careful attention to the .store, he finds time to lfx>k after his .several commission accounts, prominent among which are the line of nickel and teji cent gcnxls made by F.

It is l>elieveout the first of the week on the steamer "Mon- golia," mostly Consigned to local brokers and jobbers, and is now being delivered. Xo great interest is now taken in the Manila goods here, though the goods have become pretty well established. The si)ecial advertising they first received has for the most part been abandoneeen improving steadily for some time, and has now attained .some imi)ortance, though not as large as that of the mining regit)ns a few years ago. L. A. Sawyer, agent for W San Martin ^' Co., returned from Nevada early this week, after spending some three weeks with the trade there. lie states that business in the mining camps is picking up again, after a long peri(Ml of depression, and in view ai the rapid devek)pment of that country he looks for imj)rovement. Alfred ivsberg, vice-president of M. A. (iunst & Co.. has just returned after over a month's absence in the Hast. M. .\.

Leo Weiss, genend manager of the West Indies Sales Company, has been in S.in hVancisco for the last week, calling on his representatives, Rinaldo & lieebe, who handle the "Music Master" and "l>ingo" brands, and Tillman & Hendel, agents for "La Turina." He is about to leave for Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. Local detectives last week arrested three members of a skillful gang of cigar store burglars who had caused a lot of trouble. They have been connected with the recent robbery of Herman Kieser's place, at 1338 Golden date avenue, and have been charged with burglar)'. .\rthur Meyer, representing the "Alexander Humboldt" cigar, is about to leave for Southern California, where he will spend the rest of the month. 11.

C)MF Atlanta business men recently visited Win- ston-Salein, N. C, and sent back the following to the "Atlanta Journal" as an impression of what they saw : "\\ . R. Reynolds, vice-president and general manager of the R. J. Reynolds C»»mpany, at Winston-Salem, person- ally conducted the pathfinders through the tremendous building of several stories that constitute the main one of the company's sixteen tobacc») factories in Winston-Salem. Here the visitors saw the tobacco manufacturing process from the UK.ment the raw leaf is received till it is nailed in boxes ready f<»r shipment. "They watched the hundreds of negroes on the floor deftly stripping the stem from the leaf and piling the stems aside to be weighed in pounds at the end of their working day. "They saw the packing machines that form the plug and witnessed the wrapping process and all the other inter- esting details of preparing tobacco for the world's market. "They listened to the negroes catch up a chorus of song to greet their visitors. They watched the deft and expert women employees in another department grade and separate the leaf. From top to bottom of the big manu- factory they were led by Mr. Reynolds, winding up in the department where the tin boxes for smoking tobacco are cut and clamped and perfected, and passing last of all to the freight department with its air of a big railroad head- quarters. **As they were departing Mr. Reynolds presented the visitors with an ample supply of Prince .Albert smoking tobacco and other products of the factory." II •1 ll» THE TOBACCO WORLX) 35 A Growing Pennsylvania Enterprise. BJl. LLLTZ, cigar manufacturer, Schwenksville, La., has just returned from a successful trip through New Vork State pushing a new brand of cigars. Mr. Reltz did considerable business and opened some new accounts. His factory at Schwenksville was founded some twenty years ago, when, with meagre capital, he started in business for him.self. He would make cigars by day and in the evenings go out and sell to the trade. He had the right idea, however, of giving the best quality for the least money, and on these principles his business has ex- panded rapidly. To-day he employs sixty hands and his out- put exceeds 10,000 cigars daily, and the scope of his trade reaches from coast to coast. His rule has been to understand and master every problem of cigar making and, if necessary, he could go to the bench now and make cigars. Mr. lieltz personally looks after the F^astern trade ; his son, R. T. Heltz, acts as office manager, and the various salesmen in different localities see that the Leltz output is well distributed. To Push the Morris Tobacco Stemmer. HF National Tobacco Stemming Machine Co., a notice of whose incorporation was published in the last issue of The Ton.Acco Wori^d, has secured control of the Morris patent tobacco stemming machine and intends to manufacture and push it extensively in the tobacco market. The Morris machine is acknowledged by experts and manufac- turers who have seen it to be a wonderful piece of mechanism, which will successfully and economically stem tobacco. The company is getting out a prospectus exi)loiting the machine and expects to conduct an active campaign. The officers of the company at present are V. I. Hillings, president, and Jos. \\ McKellip, secretary and treasurer. These two, with Ralph C. Lupt(^n. of Wilmington. Del., compose the IJoard of Directors, but it is intended to add several prominent lialti- more men to the L>oar(l of Directors in the near future. m Recent Patents of Interest to Tobacconists.

May 28th. — Retail cigar dealers here have (luring the last few weeks experienced a noticeable in- crease in the volume of business. The local industries are largely in the iron line, and in which work is cjuite plentiful at present. .\s a result the sale of finer grades of g(KHls is again increasing, but with a cor- responding decrease in the sale of cheaper lines. That fact is really encouraging to local tradesmen. The cigar manufacturers are beginning to benefit by the improved business conditions, and more hands are l)eing put to work. George S. Miller & Co. have lately b(H>ked some nice or- ders, as a result of a visit among the trade by Mr. Kratz through the coal region territor)'. A number of repeat orders have also come in lately from the West, where their "Ambro- sio" brand has long enjoyed a giKxl sale. Roesch Bros, are making a vigorous drive on their "In dian .\x" brand, and a steadily increasing sale has been tin result. Within a radius of i)robablv twentv-five miles there I fT r is said to be iKjt a single retail establishment where this cigar is not on sale. So well is this brand being received locally that the firm now contemi)late a more extensive campaign. C. I>. Lessig & l»ro., jobbers and retailers, are carrying a general line of popular brands of cigars, tobaccos, etc. They report a moderate trade at this time, but that there is still room for a little more improvement. A new retail establishment was recently opened by .\llen If. Smith at 313 High street, where a high class of trade is being catered to by a choice line of all the more po|)ular brands of goods. His line includes such well-known brands of clear Havana cigars as the "Marcello". of Duncan & M(K)rehead. Thiladel- phia ; "Leda", of T. H. Hart & Co.. Philadelphia, and "Jules X'erne", of A. Ramirez & Co., of Tampa. In the 10 cent va- rietv his specialty is the "(ieneral Schuyler", made by (leorge S. Miller & Co..' Pottstown, Pa. (irant M.

Xe\y tobacco sheds are being erected in this section and extensive prep.arations are in progress for the raising of a largely increased acreage of tobacco this year. NEW ENGLAND. SUFFIF.LD, CONX. TOBACCO GROWERS of this section are still complaining of the unsatisfactory results obtained by them for their tobacco crops of the past two years. They attribute it to be due partly to the methods of buyers, and partly to the fact that a large number of crops were not up to the standard. This section of the State has enjoyed a reiMitatit.n for producing a high quality (»f leaf and has been regarded as the b.-inner district of the Connecticut valley. Havana seed has been raised by the use of cottonseed meal and cotton hull ashes (cottonseed meal to furnish the nitrogen and vegetable matter and cotton-hull-ashes to supply the required i)ercentage of potash), l-armers, however, are complaining that it is impossible to get cotfon-hull-ashes. and therefore they find it necessary to endeavor to obtain some other form of potash fertilizer. It may be that this can be procured in some form of mineral .salts, but a large part of it w»»uld be soluble and might ui)set the chemual balance of the land. Fnuh is also being found with the continued raising of crop after crop on the same, and it is stated that there are strips of land in this section which have been devoted to tobacco raising for from twenty- five to thirty years without interruption. Some of the nally successful farmers are staunch advocates of crop rotation and there seems to be no good reason why this theory should not he applied to tobacco culture. Windsor. Transplanting of tobacco has progressed very steadily in this section. A majority of the farmers commenced transplanting as early as possible this year, and in some instances they have about completed the work. The acreage promises to be fully up' to last year, if in fact, it may not actually exceed it. Tariffvii.le. Ariel Mitchelson has begun setting his tobacco and was one of the first in that section. He is again devoting his energies to tent grown leaf and this year will grow quite a number of acres. Barkhamstkap. .\s kite as the i6th tobacco plants were reported to have been nipi)ed by frost. Some of the more enterprising farmers sprinkled water on their plants before sunrise and thus saved them. Poor I NOCK. . Considerable tobacco has already been set out in this town, but they have been deterred somewhat by the cold weather. Young plants seeiii to be in abundance this year in this vicinity. WISCONSIN. Kdgerton. Tl lb' tobacco buying movement is gradually drawing to a point where only occasional transactions are taking place, for the remaining fractions of last season's crops are reduced to a small figure. During the rains of the past few weeks growers were enabled to remove the last hangings of tobacco in the northern sections of the State. It is rather an unusual occurrence to have crops remaining in the sheds until after the middle of May. Warmer weather has followed the rains of the past few weeks and the plant beds are now in condition to come forward rapidly. There is every prospect that the plants will be ready for the fields by the usual transplanting time. Stouchton.

I'lKST Lk.s.sons in C'm:.\nin(;. "Clean the bowl often with alcohol or whiskey. They say that cleaning with anything hot opens the pores of the pipe so that it fouls again right away. "It's bad for a pipe to keep it in the mouth when it isn't being smoked. The moisture from the nn>uth collects at the bottom of the bowl and that's bad for j)ipe and tobacco both.

Although this firm was «)iily organized in September. i«mk>. its partners. J. Tarantous and J. V. Miller, are not by any means new to the business, both having spent many years with H. Regensberg i\: Sons, the former seventeen years as factory superintendent and the latter fourteen years as general man- ager. Their business has already grown to such an extent that they have taken an additional space and now occupy three tliK)rs at Ji^ Pearl street. The factory brand is "Mi \'alor," a clear Havana pro- duction, made in forty-eight shapes and sizes. Another brand. "IMorinata". «)f the same high grade (|uality and made in very fine sizes only, is in preparation and will shortly Ik' ready for the traox of blue and yellow, embellished with a cut of one of the wise men of the east. Robert T. Doming, of the sales force of the house, tells us that they have already lK)oke(l future orders for several hundred thousand of these cigarettes and their prospects look very promising. This is a radical move on the part of T'aber & Co.. but they have not gone into the manufacture of the gcKxls on any half- way scale, but have leased an additional floor in their building at I P.eaver street, wherein the gocnls will be made for the present under their direct supervision. The house is particularly desirous of introducing the goods into the most select clubs at points where a strictly high grade, fine (|uality cigarette will be appreciated.

Shipment of cigars from Tampa this year, up to the week ending May 20th, amounted to 108,435,000. This is an increase over the same time last year of 18,330,000, and shows that Tampa, in its banner industry, continues to show a substantial gain over the large shipments of last year. F^or the week ending May 20th the shipments were 6,235,- 000, the largest shipment for this year in eleven or twelve weeks. Importations of leaf from Havana continue heavy and withdrawals of tobacco from bond also show splendid record. Manufacturers and employees in the big industry are very much pleased with the record of this year thus far and are certain that Tampa will continue to show substantial gains ending the year with an appreciable increase over the shipments of last year. It has been the observation of the leading Tampans for many years past that Tampa always has *'g(K)d times" when, in the summer, cigar shipments are good and building is brisk. 2.50 1.00 4 6H .400 46900 101.00 25.0«> 26.51 2.l^ 1 tO'ill 1 103.50 26.00 31.20 .251 120.00 1.755.55 •1 325.50 ( rMi.lO 1 li 6.354. ;»o ) 1 :i :• 273.55 »:..'> 0 5.00 2.6D .7»;!» 53.80 1.762.05 •» 330.50 6.357. 5» 6.3SK.71* 1.32 1.26 272.86 1.865.55 •> 356.50 2 71.11 Late Trade Notes. \\ .

The demand locally has been strong and now that trade is extending to all l»arts of the country, the factory facilities, which were very greatly eidarged on the first of the present year, are already becoming taxed. The "44," which has been a leader with the house in the line of nickel cigars and which has met with a very hearty reception wherever it has been placed, is now being followed by a ten-cent line of goods under the title of "Adlon." This brand has been on the market for only a short time and only offered in a small territory, but the large number of duplicate orders which the introducticjn of the brand resulted in was so encouraging that the brand is now being introduced in general with is nickel leader all over the Central West, in the South and in the blast. J'ennsylvania trade, too, is being well taken care of and is now being covered by Mahlon A. Inmk, who is tinding his volume of business larger with each succeeding trip he makes through the State, and it is invariable that a number of new accounts are made during each visit. It seems to be the firm's determination that the products of the "44" factory shall be known wherever tive and ten-cent cigars are sold, and consecpiently they have recently dispatched one of their well-known salesmen on a special trip which will carry him through to the Pacific ctant siuces^ as the "l-I llorita." manufactured b\ b.hn Steigerwald iS; ^ <•• Ihe 'l.l r.oriias" are ;4..tten up in attractive b.-xes an.l each cigar is uell made of the be.

W ithin a few weeks there ought to be a C(»iisiderable <|nantity of new Partido in the market. .Still there has not been as much niovenient as could have been expected. The prices that the growers want for their crops has curtailed buying. .Another drawback in the Partidos sec- tions which has han from working as freely as they (»ught to ami which has kept the packings that have already been put in motion limite a small out|)ut has been the con- tinued absence of "blandma," or nunsture. A few rains fell in some secti»»ns since my last rej)ort. bnt imme at a standstill, practically speaking. Xo bnying is heing done in either to speak of. In X'uelta .\bajo there are two or three packings under way which are working on a ;.mall scale. The crop there is nf a heavy nature and needs to remaiti a long time j)iled to take the rawness from same. ( "onse(|uently, as the crop needs som etime to cure before it can be packed, it is possible that the bulk of the packings will not be started before the end of June or thereabouts. The Havana houses feel reluctant to pack heavily this year in V^ielta .\bajo. as their experience in H)Oj is still green in their memo- ries. There will be very few factory packings undertaken by theni this year and a great many growers will be obilged to |)ack their tobacco on this account. In Keme(lios there seems to be no hurry on the part of the Havana dealers to dive headlong into operations and the exorbitant |>rices asked by the farmers are keeping buvcrs away for a while anyhow. .\ few operations that have been closed by j. liernheim iS: Son and some others were made at very high prices, so reports say. However, as uoIkxIv has commenccil to huy heavily, it is not known if growers will be cotitented with lower figures.
