Address Tobacco World Pdbushing Company, No. 334 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The Vnion LaLbel in PhilaLdelphlaL. IT is acknowledged by officers of the Blue Label League of Pennsylvania that Philadelphia is very weak as a blue label center, and that the de- mand for strictly union made goods here is at low ebb. Yet there would appear to be sufficient labor organizations in this city, and their member- ship strong enough to make it a stronghold for blue label goods. That such is not the case seems to indicate that there is something wrong some- where. The condition is quite annoying to the leaders, who say that many union workmen are not doing their duty and are not fulfilling their obligations. Diligent inquiry would no doubt reveal the fact that union men, like many others, are on the alert for free gifts with their supplies of tobacco, or rather that they are no less susceptible to the de- lusion of getting something for nothing than non- union men, and onsequently the blue labels on cigars in particular are soon forgotten. Or can it be that they fear that the higher rate of wages, in many instances, which it is necessary for manufacturers to pay union workmen for making cigars may not always permit them to use as good a quality of tobacco in their product as their non- union competitors? In any event it shows a sad lack of principle to be inconsistent advocates of unionism, and as these very men should set a good moral example, how then can they expect to eflfectively enthuse the union spirit into those less directly interested? :o:- The First Six Months. JUST half of the year 1904 has now passed, and the country is entering upon the last halt of the year. Much as it is regretted, in truthful- ness it must be said that during the past six months the tobacco trade at large has not experi- enced as active a period as was hoped for. An extraordinarily severe winter, followed by a late spring, has militated against business in general, from which retailer and manufacturer alike have suffered, and possibly, too, the traditional "Presi- dential year" has had some effect. We argued months ago, however, that it was unreasonable that the mere fact that it was a Presidential year should have any appreciable effect upon business this year, and we still fail to see any sane reason therefor, inasmuch as for several years past the country at large has been highly prosperous, and furthermore, political conditions are such that no radical changes are anticipated as a result of this year* s election. Notwithstanding the fact that business has not, during the six months just ended, been up to the standard of several years previous, yet there are still six months of this year in which to recoup such shortcomings as may have been experienced during the closed period of six months, and we reiterate that we believe it remains latgely with the individuals to make the period what they will. Of course, it is so easy to allow oneself to be overtaken with a spirit of pessimism, but the won- derful energy of the American people is likely to predominate, and if one will but look at the natural conditions which justify activity, and go after his share of it with energy and enthusiasm of which we are so fully capable, there is no reason why 1904 should not be closed with a sub- stantial gain to our credit :o: The Nay Production. 1^ EPORTS from the U.

Editor American Industries: IT FT E R the government* s plan of controlling JM. the manufacture of tobacco for fiscal pur- poses was made officially known to the public, the tobacco people changed their attitude and ex- pressed their willingness to support it if the terms could be made satisfactory. The outbreak of the Japan- Russo war hastened the decision of Parlia- ment, and the bill was passed on the 26th of March with slight modifications. The vital point of the discussion was regarding the number of years and the basis of indemnity to the manufac- turers who would be bought out. The original bill provided for a tax on the income of each individual manufacturer, but the committee who had charge of the bill reported in favor of taking the amount of sales as a basis, and favored three years* in- demnity instead of four on account of the financial condition of the treasury. The amount provided for indemnity was 9, 100, oco yen (about $4,500,000), which will be distributed among all the manufacturers in Japan, but about one-half of it will go to four prominent companies. This is at the rate of 20 per cent in- demnity per annum for three years, based on the amount of sales. If of suitable character the fac- tories and machinery will be bought by the govern- ment. The administration of the tobacco monop- oly by the government will be patterned chiefly after that of Austria, and the government expects to manufacture various brands to suit the public taste. The monopoly for the manufacture of ci- garettes began the first of June, and for cut tobacco will begin a year later. Sajiro T.\teish, B. S., Ph. D.

Box 98 RENEWED INTEREST IN HAVANA GOODS, Local Manufacturers and the Exports to Germany Liven Up the Market Tampa Strike Reacts Upon the Trade in Cuba — Trade Gossip of the Week, Although the number of buyers from the North is only limited, owing to abet- ter demand by the local manufacturers, as well as by the continued call for Ger- many, (principally the lowest grade loose leaves), the sales during the past week show a large increase over the previous one. Important sales of Partido wrap- pers to local factories, particularly the Trust, was the noteworthy event. The independent factories have also pur- chased liberally, chiefly of Vuelta Abajo factory vegas, however. The few old goods in the market seem neglected. The strike in Tampa is affecting trade injuriously, having stopped the orders for stripping fillers in Havana, thus throwing a number of people out of em- ployment. Work in the country is pro- gressing actively, although some com- plaint is heard that the Western Rail- road has not sufficient rolling stock to haul the goods from the interior to this city fast enough. However, if the pres- ent receipts are maintained, thete will be over 100,000 bales of the new crop from the Vuelta Abajo and the Partidos in the Havana market by the end of July, so buyers can be sure to find a selection of choice leaf from which to choose. The Remedios packings will commence to work actively from now on, and while the receipts ought to be fairly large, this kind of tobacco will need more time to cure in the bales, and will hardly be fit to be purchased until the month of Octo- ber, excepting the lighter qualities for export to Europe. Sales for the week amounted to 3,719 bales, of which 1,272 bales consisted of Vuelta Abajo, 2,189 of Partido and 258 of Remedios. Buyers for the American market took 1,133, local manufacturers 1,753, ^^^ ^o*" Europe 833 bales were purchased. Bayers Come and Go. Arrivals: — A. L.

Havana Clffar Manufacturnra report no change for the better in the general situation during the week gone by, but, as the active season is due in August, the few quiet weeks will soon be over. As the independent manufacturers have secured the finest vegas of the Vuelta Abajo they could lay their hands on, the cigars to be made of the 1904 crop are bound to give universal satisfac- tion to the smokers of imported cigars in the United States. How the trust cigars will turn out has to be left to the indi- vidual taste of each customer. Rabell, Costa, Vales & Co. report a very steady call for their cigars in the United States and elsewhere, and are discharging no cigarmakers. They have just received some good orders from Buenos Ayres by mail and cable, equal to about 200,000 cigars. This is a further gratifying proof of the excel- lence of the material and work- manship in the "Ramon Allones" fac- tory. Although the Eminencial cigarettes are considered one of the finest 'ciga- rettes made in Havana, the owners, J. Vales & Co. , are forced by the Trust to imitate the craze of the public for gifts and are now exhibiting a very 'costly ar- ray of jewelry to be given away to the lucky winners. Notwithstanding the almost prohibitory duties, there is some demand for La Eminencia by con- noisseurs in the United States, who pre- fer them to the Turkish or Egyptian cig- arettes. H. Upmann & Co. are as busy as they can expect to be at this season of the year, as they are constantly in receipt of orders from everywhere. Cifuentes, Fernandez & Co. are very well satisfied, and say that they have enough orders on hand for the months of July and August to keepjtheir factory running as busy as now, even if no new orders should come in during these two months, which is highly improbable. The call is principally from London, the United States, South America and Aus- tralia. "Sol" is working daily. upon its rou tine course, and while orders are not as I I i\ ESTABLISHED 1844 H.

Lightfoot, Jr., Richmond, Va. The first business was the reading and adoption of the report of Secretary- Treasurer of the association, Thomas Mason, of Cincinnati. The report showed that the year had been a pros- perous one for the association and showed that the organization was in an excellent condition. President Carrington then read his report, which took up in detail the steps taken to protest against the retroactive tariff levied on stripped tobacco by the English government. It explained what steps had been taken to make an effective fight against the increased tax and especi- ally upon the retroactive clause of the mew order. The correspondence with Secretary Hay and Ambassador Choate was summarized. The report referred to the postal parcels question and suggested that the matter be urged upon the atten- tion of the forthcoming session of Con- gress. Mr. Cummings of New York moved that the correspondence in reference to the English tariff be approved and that it all be collected and sent to the tobacco trade bodies of the country for approval and signature. Albert Kramer, of Durham, N. C, moved the appointment of a committee of three to draft resolutions setting forth the fact that the tobacco trade has been especially prosperous in the past few years. He declared that the decrease in the number of factories was a serious matter to the leaf tobacco men, who could only hope to expand and retain their prosperity by an increase in the manu- faciure of tobacco and the consequent increase in the demand for leaf tobacco. He thought it wise to call attention to the prosperity of the trade in the hope that capital and labor would be encouraged to embark in the trade. The resolution was adopted. for coming year: Gen. Stith Boiling, J. D. Shouse, W. D. Collins, C. D. Lands, W. H. Winston.

A communication was received from the Uuion Trades League offering to co- sentative, that it would no doubt be the affair of the association to take hold of the matter.

From information gathered by the New England Homestead, it appears that the acreage devoted to cigar leaf tobacco in the United States this year shows a gen- eral reduction compared with last season. In some States this is not pronounced, a few sections even showing increases. In other districts, however, the curtailment is unusually heavy. Advices from grow- ers in the foremost tobacco counties of New York State show a reduction that will average 30 to 40 per cent The gov- ernment estimates the curtailment in New York to be 25 per cent, but according to the correspondents of the Homestead this estimate is hardly large enough. In some parts of Steuben county it is said the acreage is not ten per cent of what it was four years ago. Next to New York, Wisconsin shows the heaviest reduction in acreage of all the cigar leaf tobacco producing States. Leaf Tobacco Markets* prices on Leaf running from Low to Medium grades are very low, while Lugs and Fine and Good Leaf arc at fair values comparatively. Lugs— Low, 3 to 3Xc, Common, 331^ to 3314' c; Medium, 3|^ to 4j|^c; Good, 4X to 4^c.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY. Another week has rolled around in the tobacco world, and it has been a period of hustle, trying to get the crop of tobacco in good growing condition. Tobacco, like most other special crops, needs a great deal of coaxing when the plants are small, else the grower may expect a light crop. As an old resident of this town told me: "The man who sits on the fence in the spring will have plenty of time to sit on the fence in the fall." So let the motto be with every one who is growing a crop of tobacco: "Cultivate and hoe." Cultivate and hoe early and late, and don't let the crop go by default, but stick to it and see that the work is driven with all your might, and the same should be true of all your field crops. Hoe and stock over, not allowing a va- cancy to mar the beauty of your fields. 1 hear of some trouble from cut-worms, but invariably it occurs on land that is being planted the first time to tobacco, i and which had been used for corn or I potatoes last year and not plowed after I removing the crop. The old theory was j that plowing in the early fall tended to ! turn the old worms and larvae upon the surface, and the cold of the winter froze the.n. The present theory is that the weeds are turned under, and, being green and tender, they are quickly decayed, thus furnishing no food to develop the miller that deposits its eggs for a new crop of cut-worms in the spring. But whichever theory is advocated, they are both good ones for the grower, since the fall and spring plowing we know helps to pulverize the soil, thus putting it in bet- ter form to grow the new crop, and, if for no other reason than to increase the ease of producing a crop, it should be done every time. We have heard of one field of tobacco where the cutworms were so thick that there would be twenty plants on a row that would be eaten out clean. After stocking over once and having it eaten out again, they dusted the plants with paris green and that cleaned the worms out. It cannot be of any harm to the plants, as the first leaves do not grow large, but drop off early. The instru- ment used is a piece of eave spout. Fasten a piece of wire cloth over one end, hold it over the plant and either shake or strike the pipe lightly. Mix the green with plaster or gypsum, as for potatoes. The market, according to the trade papers, is so bare that the condition is very noticeable. All this is about as predicted months ago. I believe I told you that you would see the barest market that had been seen for a number of years. The reason 1 gave was the ever expand- ing cigar trade. So remember it takes great quantities of tobacco to wrap so many cigars, and as long as so much Sumatra is used, you may have no fears: for every pound of good or fair domestic leaf is sure to be wanted at fairly remun- erative prices for some years to come. Our correspondents write: Conway, Mass.: "The tobacco is growing finely, although some pieces would be benefited by a little rain. We did not get any rain last week, as some of our neighbors in adjoining towns did by appearances." East Whately, Mass.: "George Dick- inson & Son sold 30 cases dark wrappers and tops at 1 1 cents. George Pease sold . from 30 to 40 cases at private terms. " North Hatfield. Mass.: "Tobacco is looking fine where it has been set long enough to get started and has been hoed, but we need some rain for the general run of the crop."--American Cultivator.

Successor to S. LOHREN ear, and it is because it is Presidential year. One manu- facturer, whose name we need not mention, but whose well known cigars have an extensive sale in many other cities than Philadelphia, expressed the opinion that the dullness of the cigar business during Presidential years is due to the fact that so many people are out of work in consequence of the shutting down of mills on account of agitation about the tariff question. These people are de- prived of their accustomed prosperity and have to resort to the cheaper pipe instead of enjoying the fragrant cigar. One well known retailer said the Presidential year, although proverbially said to be a bad one is no worse than any other, and it is easily ex- plained. There are just as many smokers when a campaign is on as at any other time, and one would imagine that the consumption of smokes would be increased rather than otherwise, owing to the number of cigars given away by politicians. Then again, many good cigars are bet on the results of an election, thus stimulating the trade of the retailer. If cigars are bet by the box by the reck, less ones so does the retailer's business mcrease accordingly. While some pessimistic person may hoard his money until after the election, it is not so with the energetic, light-hearted citizen during Presidential year.

The hints should naturally be followed by a few terse pithy sentences calling attention to the facilities which the dealer has for supplying everything in the smoking line, the fine goods which he carries in stock, and any other points which he desires to impress upon pro- spective customers. Some of the follow- ing "pointers" might be read with in terest by the readers of the booklet : "Don't light a cigar in the gas, or by any other means unless you are drawing it simultaneously. You otherwise con- vert the tobacco into carbon, and spoil the flavor and aroma of that which is un- burn t CIGAR STORE LOUNGERS. TXT" H ETHER or not a retailer should allow loungers in his store de- pends upon locality and circumstances. A smoking room has been found to be useful where a dealer has a regular Mecca of customers congregated in the evening at his store, for the purpose of discussing the topics of the day. A few chairs in a rear, out of the way part of the store, makes quite a siesta for a few chatty, sociable men, who want to enjoy a short stay and finish the cigar that, per- haps, their wives will not allow them to enjoy at home. The majority of steady men have not much time to loaf, but they appreciate all courtesies shown them during the brief respite they have earned from business cares or duties. This class of customers will not abuse their privileges in a cigar store. But sometimes there is a class of loiter- ers to which no general rule can be appUed, and each dealer must decide for himself in such cases what is best for his business, for he understands best the wants o^ his neighborhood. « # « A RETAILER'S AWFUL BULLETIN A PITTSBURG retailer caused some amusement among customers recently by placing in his window the following bulletin : "Warning. We regret to tell of the disaster that overtook three of our delinquent customers last week. "One of them said 'He would pay Saturday, if he lived.' He's dead! "Another said, 'I'll see you to- morrow. * He* s blind \ ' 'Still another said, «I hope to pay you this week or go to Eternal Torment' He's gone!"

WRIGHT DISTRIBUTORS WANTED EVERYWHERE Controlling Independent Factories. Richard Webster and Union Record. Two More of Yetter's Union-Made Brands. In The Tobacco World of June 15th there were shown reproductions of the labels used on the Walter Thomas and Union Times cigars— two ot C. M. Yetters union-made products. In this issue we present half tone fac similes of two more of his labels— the Richard Webster and the Union Record— which are also ten and five-cent products respectively, as was the case on the occasion mentioned above, making a combination of two each of ten and five- cent goods. There is, perhaps, not another union factory in this section which devotes as much attention to the style and attractiveness of its packages as is done by Mr. A TEN-CEN r LEADER. Yetter, and to this fact he attributes, in no small degree, the success which he has met with in exploiting his products. It is almost needless to say that Mr. Yetter is too practical a man to spend time and money in getting up a really attractive article in appearance, without also seeing to it that the ^oods are all right in quality to bear out their appearance; hence, with as large a force at work as he generally employs, and to give all these details personal attention, naturally makes him a busy man, but he just delights in it, and is never happier than when he is thoroughly busy. Besides, he is the least A FIVE-CENT LEADER. bigoted man to be found anywhere, and is always anxious for more knowledge appertaining to the trade, and for that reason he makes it a point, at least occa- sionally, to personally visit his principal patrons, and on these occasions he gener- ally secures such additional information as enables him to expand in his ideas of improvement; and sometimes also suggestions are made which open the way for the introduction of an additional brand of cigars. At present Mr. Yetter is on just such a trip through Western territory, and we may reasonably expect to hear of something new in the re.ir future. C. A.

York, Pa., July II, 1 904. The cigar trade seems to be now nicely on the mend, and this has already had an enthusing effect upon trade generally. Leaf men still have some complaints to offer, but they will doubtless also soon benefit by a bettered condition. A five acre crop ot tobacco planted on Duffy's Island in the Susquehanna River this year is progressing remarkably well, some of the stalks now having as many as fourteen leaves on them. Manager Hostetter expects to top.the crop this week. Some of the cigar factories of this county were closed down during last week, but most of them have resumed operations this week. John H. Baker, of York, has com- pleted arrangements for opening a'factory in York, and manufacturing his goods under his own supervision. E. P. Gillespie, son of Major J. W. Gillespie, has been admitted to an in- terest in the leaf tobacco business of The Gillespie Co. Additional space has been secured and new office facilities have been created on the ground floor of their building on Clark avenue, which has improved the premises both in appear- ance and in convenience. M. Kalisch & Co., of Red Lion, have purchased from Jas. Adair the Sporty King trademark and labels, and will place the brand on the market as a 5c grade of cigars. The J. W. Gohn Cig;ir Co., of East Prospect, has a good lot of orders on hand and is receiving telegraphic advices to have goods forwarded to different parts. W. C. Jackson, of East Prospect, some I time ago took possession of the old Ole- weiler factory. He is quite busy at present. Bear Bros., of Zions View, are placing ! a new 5c cigar on the market under the brand name of Matthew Carey. I C. A. Rost & Co., of Red Lion, are building up quite an extensive leaf trade, and carry a large and general line of goods. Geo, F. Schnath. with Schroeder & Arguimbau. New York; L, R. Eisen- brand, with L. Bamberger & Co., and L. F. Mueller, with Dohan & Taitt, both of ■ Philadelphia, were among the visitors here last week, as well as R. R. Uhler, with H. Duys & Co., New York. R. D. Zech is now representing D. A. Schrei ver & Co. as salesman \n this county. The John Shindler Cigar Factory at Red Lion is now under roof, and when completed will be one of the best equipped factories in that section. S. L, Johns Cigar Co. was incorporated at Harrisburg last week, with a capital of $50,000. Treasurer, A. J. Brady, Mc- Sherrystown; Directors: H. M. Gitt, C. J. Delone. Geo. I). Gitt. Hanover, and j S.

Tobacco Receipts Still Increasing— How the Stock Stands at Date — Estimating on the New Crop — Trade News of the Week. r I Ifll^PHflMI I Very little change has taken place in the number of transactions closed during 4he past eight days in the Havana mar- ket, and the situation is virtually the same. Excepting one large New York dealer, who does not like to see his name in print, who has operated heavily in old Remedios, as well as in the new Vuelta Abajo and Partido tobacco, the local manufacturers were the chief buyers. The demand for Europe is only moderate. Receipts from the country are still on the upward trend. It is stated upon good authority that fully 100,000 bales of the new Vuelta Abajo crop have been sold by the farmers, of which one-half was taken by the local factories, while the remainder is being packed by the dealers and a few exporting houses for the Amer- ican market Partido tobacco is also in good demand, while it remains to be seen how the new Remedios will fare when the time arrives to handle it. As there is a good call for old Remedios, the chances are that the new tobacco will sell well, as the old stocks are very slim and the new promises to be of the heavy desirable kind asked for in the North. The statistical position of the Havana market is as follows: Stocks on hand March 28, 1904, (bales) Vu. Abajo Partido Remedios Total 15,117 9.657 J5.0S7 39.861 Receipts of principally New Crop to July 2, 1904: 49,436 22,291 2,720 74.447 Aggregate, July 2, 1904: 64.553 31.948 17.S07 114.308 Sales from March 28 to July 3: ] 20,430 10,007 11.653 42,090 Stocks on hand July 4, 1904: 44,123 21,941 6,154 7-.218 The Vuelta Abajo crop is estimated this year at about 200,000 bales, Partido 60,000 bales, and Remedios barely loo,- 000 bales, which, if the above figures should prove approximately true, would not indicate any large increase over the 1903 crop. There are some people who claim that the Vuelta Abajo might yield 250,000 bales, but even then the 1904 crop would fall short of a normal crop c f 500,000 bales for the whole island. The situation is. therefore, a healthy one, as Havana, July 4, 1904. there are no surplus stocks of former years to speak of. The cigarette manu- facturers are paying already from $15 to 1 16 per quintal for new Vuelta Abajo colas, which seems to indicate that they are taking time by the forelock and can- not have many old goods on hand to last them for any length of time. Sales for the week amounted to 3.654 bales, of which i ,03 1 bales consisted of Vuelta Abajo, 1,440 of Partido and 1,138 of Remedios. Buyers for the American market took 1,948, local manufacturers 1,206, and for Europe 500 bales were purchased. Bojrers Come and Go. Arrivals — Ike Bernheim, of I. Bern- heim & Sons, New York and Havana; Isidro Menendez, of Isidro Menendex, New York.

Havana Clvar ManufMCturora Business is still dull, as the truthful manufacturers will readily admit, but the outlook for a good business this fall is very promising. The world does not stop smoking, and the stocks abroad must be steadily decreasing. When the new to- bacco shall be generally in a condition to be workable orders are bound to be- come larger and more widely distributed. The factories which have still fairly good orders on hand are H. Upmann & Co., Cifuentes, Fernandez & Co., of the Flor de Tabacos de Partagas & Cia ; Rabell, Costa,Vales & Co., of the Ramon Allones; J. F. Rocha & Co. ,of the Crepusculo; Behrens & Co., of the Sol, and Enrique Dorado & Co., of the El Rico Habano. Remigio Lopez & Hno. are still giving most of their attention to their escojidas of tobacco. The former Havana Com- mercial Co. has been again admitted to the union of manufacturers.

THE TOBACCO WORLD II is known that they must have closed sev- eral transactions. This house, so favor- ably known all over the United States, has gone in heavily in securing some of the finest vegas grown in the famous "Tierra Liana" district of San Luis and San Juan and Martinez. The total of their purchases, when packed, may run up to 7,000 or 8.000 bales, of which they have already received one quarter in their warehouses. They are, without doubt, the largest holders of the cream of Vuelta Abajo factory vegas, and any Northern manufacturer who is looking for this class of goods will make a mistake if he does not call upon them. Among the vegas acquired are those of such well known farmers as Jose Antonia Padron, Jose Maria Vazquez, El Retiro, Manuel Diaz, all of San Luis, Jose Rodriguez, Pancho Perez. Pedro Guerra, Domingo V. Garcia, Fructuoso Selvez, and others too numer- ous to mention. Aixala & Co. were sellers to the extent of 500 bales of Partido and Vuelta Abajo. A. L. Cuesta is said to have purchased some 300 or 400 bales of Partido and Vuelta Abajo this trip for his Tampa firm of Cuesta, Rey & Co. Jorge & P. Castaneda disposed of 348 bales of their choice Tumbadero pack- ings to city and Northern manufacturers. Salvador Rodriguez was averse to stat- ing the number of bales bought by him, although he declared that he liked the 1904 crop of Vuelta Abajo and Partido, and that he intended to stock up heavily just as soon as the tobacco should be a trifle better cured. on first sight. Besides their Vuelta Ab ajo, Gircia & Co. are now packing largely of Santa Clara tobact o, and the first bales received by them are showing up well. G. Salomon y Hnos. sold 150 bales of Remedios. Loeb Nunez Havana Co. disposed of and shipped 158 bales of Remedios. Voneiflr & Vidal Cruz have trans- ferred their two Mariano escojidas to Hoyo Colorado, as they are not willing to submit to the demands ofjthe strikers to have their packings made under the supervision of a committee of the work men. They are paying as much to their help as the strikers demanded, but they cannot agree to let the boss of the work- men be also the boss in their own home. Their stripping department is now idle, on account of the strike in Tampa. They have just received the first vega of their Vuelta Abajo packing. A. M. Calzada & Co. bought and sold 100 bales of Remedios. H. Upmann & Co. shipped 300,000 cigars last week. Muniz Bros. & Co. disposed of 100 bales of Vuelta Abajo to Northern buyers. They secured in the Vuelta Abajo, be- sides their previous purchases, 500 bales of Portales Canteras, the vega of Cayo Berrascos, which has 30 to 40 bales of as t fine a wrapper leaf as any shade-grown j tobacco can be. They have just re.eived the first 100 bales of their Remates esco- iida, which will now come in regularly i ; every week. I Jose F.

Goldsmith & Co. have opened a new cigar store at the northwest corner of Third and Chestnut streets, at the stand formerly occupied by John Klindworth. The store was opened last Saturday morning, with a big stock of imported and domestic cigars. Mr. Goldsmith is well known to the tobacco trade, having a store at Fifteenth and Sansom streets.

North Hadley, Mass. : ' 'Tobacco is all set out in this vicinity, and hoeing is well under way. It looks well and very even, excepting some few pieces which have been troubled with cut-worms. A little more rain is needed for rapid and perfect growth." East Whately, Mass. : ' 'Tobacco is all set out, and the first hoeing is being done.

The buying movement is gradually closing in and but comparatively few dealers are riding the country districts, and even these complain that desirable lots are becoming harder to find* There is but little change to note in prices which are very largely for assorted goods. A few sample transactions are : James Thompson, 30CS at 8 and 3c A. Asleson, 48CS at y^/c. C. A. Endress, 40CS at 8;4c. A. Vinegar, 7a at 7c Geo. Meister, 2ocs at 6 and 2C. C. Busbon, 4a at 7>ic.

Ware- house handling of last season's crop has about closed at most of the packing points. Some rehandling has commenced and stripping of low grades is likely to claim employment of a good deal of the help during the summer. Transplanting of the new crop is prac- tically completed in most sections and rarely has the crop had a more prom- ising showing at this date. Recent rains have helped secure a fine start of the young plants in the fields. Shipments, 300 cases. — Reporter. CLARKSVILLE, TENN. M. H. Clark & Bro. Our receipts this week were 930 hhds; offerings on the breaks, 653 hhds; pub- lic and private sales, 719 hhds. The quality was not so good this week, and but little good to fine spinning leaf appeared, which brought top prices; common to medium lugs were a shade easier, the rest of the market without material change.

THE Treasury Department at Washington has published figures showing the status of the revenue at the end of the fiscal year, which expired June 30, 1904, and which discloses a deficit of more than $41,000,000. This has al- ready stimulated a great deal of speculation as to -whether Congress is likely to consider it necessary to undertake any tariff or revenue legislation in the immediate future. It is also known that the Treasury officials have considered the question with some care, and are inclined to believe that present conditions will not be regarded as calling for action by Congress next winter, because there is no imperative demand for legislation to provide additional revenue within the next year or two, and probably not until commercial developments render it advisable to give the tariff a general overhauling. The loss in customs receipts during the fiscal year just ended occurred early in the year, while for the month of June the collections exceeded those of the corresponding month of the year pre- vious by about |i, 000,000. It is a question as to whether the Presidential campaign and the uncer- tainties of the foming election will this year serve to curtail the national income from customs. Past experiences, however, indicate that no material increase can be reasonably expected before next December. The Treasury officials seem chary about making any predictions regarding the possible condition of the revenue a year hence, although data is now being gathered to be used in the preparation of the estimate to be submitted to Congress in December. Experts of the Customs Division have been making some interesting calculations regarding the result of the Cuban Reciprocity Treaty. The reduction in the duty on raw sugar is put at ap- A STILL HUNT. proximately, $10,000,000, and on leaf tobacco, cigars, etc., $2, 1 50,000 making a total of $12, 150.- 000 representing the 20 per cent, reduction on Cub :n products. It appears that the cash balance in the Treas- ury is sufficiently large, and that there will there- foie be no occasion for special legislation relating to revenue in the near future. -:o:- HsLvana. importations. SOME little stir was caused among the leading leaf tobacco dealers and cigar manufacturers of this city by the announcement the other day by a daily newspaper that the Treasury Department had ordered a special agent here from New York, to investigate the alleged smuggling of Havana wrappers into Philadelphia at Havana filler rates of duty. These dealers say that the amount of genuine Havana wrapper coming into Philadelphia every year is comparatively light, and that it places them under the ban of suspicion to have it insinuated that any bales or cases of tobacco had been received here under a false invoice. The newspaper article in question sajsthat for the first four months of the present year not a single pound of valuable wrapper tobacco was im- ported at this port, meaning Havana. The duty on this tobacco less the reciprocity discount, is 1 1. 42 a pound, while the duty on the cheaper or filler variety is but 28 cents. It is further stated that the Treasury Depart- ment officials in Washington think it unlikely that the cigar manufacturers of this city buy all their filler tobacco at home and go to New York or other markets to secure the more expensive Ha- vana wrapper. The amount of filler tobacco re- ceived at this port from Cuba during the first four months of 1903 was 512,330 pounds, valued at |i 59.419. During the first four months of the present year 474. 563 pounds of filler, valued at #162,488, reached here. During neither of these periods were any wrapper importations, it is said, reported. The aforesaid article further states that these figures aroused suspicion, and that Treasury officials did not believe it possible that so much tobacco could have been imported at the Philadel- phia port without the Cuban shippers consigning a quantity of wrapper. It is stated that the great difference in the duty on the two grades of tobacco led to the temptation to smuggle, and that the smugglers had probably mapped out a new Une ol action to hoodwink the customs inspectors. The aid of the Internal Revenue Office has been en- listed, it is said, to find out where cigar manufac- turers secure their wrapper, while the special agent sent on from New York is working on inde- pendent lines. The leaf dealers generally who were seen by The Tobacco World representative in regard to the sensational -smuggling' story, were inclined to ridicule the idea that the Treasury officials should think that the Havana wrapper imports should in any way approach those of the filler. "Why, Havana wrapper don't come here," said one dealer, "some cigarmakers who use Ha- vana wrappers can get a small proportion from their filler bales, by going to the trouble and ex- pense of carefully sorting them out. They use those wrappers which are good enough for higher grade goods, and the domestic wrappers like Con- necticut, or Sumatra, on their 5 cent goods. There is not enough genuine Havana wrapper imported at this port in a year to make a fuss about " Another leaf firm stated that this city's supply of Havana wiapper probably came from New York, where the bonded warehouse facilities were superior to those of Philadelphia, according to the views of many dealers. If any smuggling ras done, it was probably by way of Key West or Canada, The customs officials always have the right to examine the imported bales, and any misrepresentation can easily be discovered. These officers generally examine one bale in each ten, but are likely at any time to examine all bales in succession. Several of the leading cigar manufacturers, when seen, said that they use Havana wrappers on their clear Havana goods. While admitting that sometimes good wrappers are found among the filler lots, at the same time considerable genu- ine wrapper was bought, for which the full price, including the Government duty, was paid. The Custom House officials were reticent about the matter, and declined to be interviewed. That such an investigation was on foot was not denied. , „, ., . , The customs receipts at the port of Philadel- phia from wrapper tobacco of all classes, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, are given as $442, 544, while "Other leaf tobacco " paid duty to the amount of I5 1 1, 528. ^>H JrVetterlein & Co Importers of HAVANA and SUMATRA and Packers of DOMESTIC LEAF Tobacco 115 Arch Street, Philadelphia.

The WM. BARKSDALE was also adopted by Mr. Kalisch a short time ago, and both are now for the first time appearing in public print. Both are lieing used on a nickel variety of product, and with the necessary accessories, such as suitable flaps, extension labels, trimming, etc., they present a really attractive ajipearance. able to enjoy such a period as much as they might. There may be some who do not deem it necessary to their long- evity to take any special vacation period, and are quite content with only the ordinary after hours for needed re •creation, but they, we venture, are few and far between. An active retail cigar business is necessarily a nerve racking occupation, more so than many other lines of trade, and all the more urgently necessary does It become to take a little time ofif. If indulged in in its right spirit, it will prove beneficial to health and wealth. • • • RETAIL ADVERTISING. A PENNSYLVANIA cigar manufac- turing firm recently related a method they had adopted of distributing large quantities of advertising matter among their customers for the ultimate benefit of the retail trade handling their goods and stated that the plan was working charmingly and was mutually profitable. A series of transparencies had been ! trade that will soon reach very excellent proportions. Mr. K. originally entered procured in large quantities, among j the cigar business in 1899. in New York city, and removed to Red Lion in 1902, whichwerewhatareknownasthe-Dark. »^=»^ing *»"" secured the cigar factory formerly occupied by James Adair, which town" series. Every recipient took care fact, it is to be manufactured of leaf grown from the seed of the best Cuban tobacco. The seed has been sown in the Kelowna Valley of the Okanagan, a few miles from Vernon, B. C. , being the first attempt to grow the fragrant Havana leaf in Canada. The leaf is said to be so like the real Havana product that but few experts can detect the difference. A cigar factory, owned exclusively by Canadians, is manufacturing the cigars for the market, and the Kelowna Valley is said to be capable of producing 10,000,000 pounds of this tobacco yearly. With his national pride for home things, the Canadian will no doubt adopt the new cigar as his favorite, and the native cigar stores are anticipating big sales in consequence. • a • OFFERS BIBLE FOR.

It occurred to the writer that if it was found a valuable medium for a manufac turer to use in giving away because re- tailers wanted them, and wanted them because they were trade bringers. it should also be well worth thinking over by retailers, who might not be in a posi- tion to avail themselves of this free ad- vertising matter, to adopt some similar method of their own.

Issue New Circular. Steele Bros,, of West Chester, Pa., have distributed a circular very extensively in their section calling attention to the fact th.it hereafter they will handle only independent made goods. The follow, ing is the circular; DO NOT DESTROY COMPETITION If You Are With Us Read This Circular Then tell your friends to use only "anti trust" brands of chewing and smok- ing tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, snuffs, etc. We are selling nothing but "anti trust' goods, so help us by discontinuing the use of all goods manufactured by the trust. In doing this you will not only aid a good cause but will get quality and quantity, and a far superior tobacco. We are offering "anti trust" goods in place of trust goods and ask for your patronage. The trust has refused to supply jobbers handling independent cut plugs, thus trying to debar the independent goods from the market. If they succeed, com- petition will be killed, and thus the quality of all tobacco goods be impaired. Now Help Us Down This Great Monster "The Trust" We can give you far superior goods for the same money. Why not patronize us and give us your trade.** We offer 5 ctnt cigars, five for 25 cents, and a good cigar six for 25 cents. Our smoking and chewing tobaccos are always fresh. See that your dealer handles "anti trust" goods. We c:^n supply their wants. STEELE BROS. West Chester, Pa. Cigars, Tobacco, Cigarettes, Etc. Anti Trust Jobbers. When interviewed by a World repre- sentative, Mr. W. C. Steele stated that his firm had been invited by a represent- ative of the American Tobacco Co. to join them under their recent special rebate proposition to exclude independent brands of plug cut and fine cut tobaccos, but that in view of the fact that they then had in stock 87 brands of combine goods and 86 of independent goods, they decided to continue to sell independent goods, and that since that time they had further decided to voluntarily discontinue all goods not made by independent fac- tories. He further stated that they had felt a stimulus in trade conditions in their sections. —The Havana Cigar Co., of Coshoc- ton, O., was incorporated last week, with a capital of #20,000, by E. J. Haines, James Hogan, Charles Weaver, E. H. Wilson, and E. C. Rinner. — W. B. Kildow will open a cigar fac* toryat Maroa. 111., about August i.

This brand had been placed on the market by the Brotherhood Tobacco Co., of which Mr. Gustav Hoch was the dominating power, and it gained steadily in popular- ity until its sale became a more or less important factor in the local field. It did not, however, attract any general attention until it began to play an im- portant part in the New England trade. Notwithstanding an edict against inde- pendent made brands of plug cut and long cut tobacco which had been pro- mulgated in the New England States, the Brotherhood brand continued to be a good seller, and it is believed to have been owing to this fact that its purchase by the American Tobacco Company was decided on. It is also known that the factory which had heretofore made the goods offered to meet the price agreed to be paid by the American, but a contract covering its sale had already been entered into. T. & O. FACTORIES VERY BUSY. The Theobald & Oppenheimer Co. has resumed one of its busy seasons, which started in as soon as stocktaking had been completed. The rush struck the country factories especially, and, as a result, the Quakertown and Milford Square factories each had to advertise for 100 new cigarmakers. At the Telford factory things are also very busy, the orders exceeding the output J. N. Kolb has returned from a trip to Connecticut. John T. Dee is in Europe on a vacation trip. LIFSHETZ FACTORY MAY MOVE. There is some talk of M. Lifshetz, the cigar manufacturer, moving his factory from Tenth and Arch streets to a place uptown. Nothing, as yet, has been def- initely decided upon, as Mr. Lifshetz hopes to make satisfactory arrangements with other tenants in the present building to make way for him, so that he can in- crease his present floor space. If this plan cannot be brought to a Vuelta Abajo tobacco, and ranges in price from I45 to $So per thousand. With Manufacturers and Jobbers.

It was in- tended to add a gallery and an additional floor this month for the accommodation of more cigarmakers, but a tenant who has stood in the way declines to move before his lease has expired. Mr. Lifshetz has received the new label of his latest conception, the Miss Edward W. Conway, the Western dis- tributors for the Bayuk Brothers Cigar Company of this city, are sending east enough orders to keep cigars of the Ha- vana Ribbon order completely "pooled." Heretofore Bayuk Brothers have been able to keep 250,000 cigars in stock, but lately their stock has scarcely amounted to 8,000, the output every two weeks amounting to large figures. One of the most extensive advertising firms in the cigar manufacturing business is probably A. S. Valentine & Son. They have just placed an order for a large number of costly Paul Jones, Betsy Ross and Tirador signs. They are large, embossed lithograph chromos, some on varnished board and framed and others are on illuminated glass. Valentine's have an immense, electric Paul Jones advertisement near Young's Pier, Atlantic City. Frank Teller, of the cigar manufactur- ing firm of Frank Teller & Co. , spent part of the week at Atlantic City. Channing Allen, of Channing Allen & Co. , cigar manufacturers, was at Wild- wood and Hollybeach during the week looking up his trade between Cape May and Atlantic City. Last month was the firm's banner month of activity during it$ existence. W. K. Roedel began an aggressive campaign towards extending the popu- larity of his well known cigars during the past three weeks by putting on three ad- ditional experienced salesmen. These extended the business in Atlantic City and many suburban towns, of the Phila- delphia, Senorita, Key West, Cuban Star and Flor de W. K. Roedel cigars. Weiner's No. 10 cigar, signifying the name of that manufacturer's store on North Eleventh street, is a popular favorite in that neighborhood. George Valentine, of the firm of A. S. Valentine & Sons, went to New York this week after a brief rest following his attendance of the convention of the Mystic Shriners, at Atlantic City. J. S. Geller, Sons & Co., never back- ward in pushing forward independent goods, have a new ticket contest to in- crease their sales. The prize is a set of genuine cut glass ware, and a numbered ticket is given out with each purchase of five cents worth or over.

The Gellers have put out a new cigar on the market and as it contains the goods and is made by a well known manufacturer, it is bound to suc- ceed. It is called the Big G, the letter standing for the name "(ieller" and is made up in three sizes, special, perfecto, and londres. It is from the factory of W. K. Gresh & Sons, of Nonistown, who have made their name among manufac- turers. About August I, Gellers will take the agency for Walter S. Bare, o\ I.ititz, Fa., of the Doctor cigar, a new candidate for the consumers' favor. Gellers' sales of independent tobacco goods continue to be heavy and the recent agitation against alleged 'trust" methods have been good for their busi- ness. Brisk business continues to mark the affairs of the \icente Portuondo Cigar Mfg. Company, and the working force of the factory is steadily being increased. President Shwab returned from his ex ten-ive tour through the South. Louis H. Eisenlohr has retuined from a veiy successful trip to Washinjjton. Just at present the factories of O. Eisen lohr & Bros, are very busy, and the amount of stock on hand is much below the average. Business at the factory of the Juan F. Portuondo Ci^ar Company is said to be on the increase, in fact, it is so much better than last year that the manage ment have reason to congratulate them selves. M. Scheinfeld. an important South street Jobber aud dealer has put in a line of the Opia 5 cent cigars made bv Bai nes Smith & Co., for which the Catlin To- bacco Co. recently took the distributing agency in this city. A. Bendon. at Fifteenth and Ellsworth streets, does not speak any too encourag inglyofgeneral trade conditions, although he says he feels rather fortunate in hav ing several brands on the market that are pretty well established ai d meeting with a steady sale. These are the Nodneba and Clinic in 5 cent goods and the La Prezella in to cent. He com menced the business about twenty-five years ago, and with the exceruion of a period of eight years— from 1885 to 1S93 — he has been at it steadily. It is possi- ble that he mav launch a new brand in the fall. Among the Retail Trade. It is reported that an independent ex- hibit of tobacco goods may be held in the city during the fall. It is said that more than one hundred manufacturers of inde- pendent goods, including cigars, have signified their willingness to take part in the display, and that it is likely that speakers from both political parties will be engaged to make anti monopoly speeches. W. H. McBirney, with F. Garcia & Bros., was in town during the week with a new line from the house of Lozena, Nii^tal «& Co., of Tampa. This line is pronounced to be one of the finest to be found in the cigar market. Among the visitors to the local tobacco trade during the week were B. W. Russell, of the Havana Tobacco Com- pany; Lee Weiss, of the National Cuba Company; T. E. Bowen, of Guerra Diaz & Co. , of Tampa, and William T. Taylor, of the Anglo Egyptian Cigarette Company of New York and also representative of the Romeo and Juliet factories, W. Y. Conners, of the Amo, Ortiz Company, was in town, during the week. Wm. C. Steele, of Steele Bros., manu- f icturers of cigars ana jobbers in cigars tobaccos and cigarettes, at Westchester, was a visitor in Philadelphia last week. An important change has taken place at E. A. Bowkers & Co.'s cigar depart- ment. J. M. Anathan, who has been the manager of that department for some years has purchased that particular de partment and will conduct it as a separate and individual enterprise and proposes to carry a line of the finest goods only. The new cigar store of Yahn & Mc- Donnell, at the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, was about a week late in its informal opening, on account of the tardiness of the conirac- tors in completing the interior. The store, described previously in these col- umns, is one of the prettiest in the city. The volume of business done during the first week was far larger than their sanguine expectations, and has no doubt been highly encouraging. Lea.f Dealers* Jottings. E A. Calves & Co., the importers, report a steady business and fair actively all iilong the line. Salesman Myers is doing well in the East, while the same can be said of Salesman Martinez, who is covering Pennsylvania terrify. After a trip to Canada, E. E. Hershey has gone on to Chicago, where he has been hand- ling fair sized orders. J. S. Billington, a leaf dealer of Corn- ing. N. Y., was in town during the week on business.

CLIME STRICTLY UNION FACTORY \ FABRICONAROLFESCHOICE POINTED ARROW-SHARP KNIFE ^ ' ' • VAMPIRE ••• New Building Erecting at MsLysville. Ky. Ground was broken last week by Con- tractor I. M. Lane for the Maysville, (Ky.) Warehouse Co.'s big buildings, to be occupied by the Continental Tobacco Company, on the line of the C. & O. Railway east of Union street. To give some idea of the immensity of these buildings — there being two of them: The factory, beginning at the corner of Third and Union, will run south on Union 220 feet, extending this width east along the C. & O. Railway 50 feet, when it will recede 8 feet to allow for a platform, thence continuining eastward 192 feet 2 inches — making the area cov- ered by the factory and platform 220X 242 feet 2 inches. Just East of the factory will be an area of some 90 feet, when will come — The warehouse, 229x212 feet, making the aggregate length, east and west, of the buildings alone, 471 feet 2 inches by 212 feet in width, or about 100,000 feet of floor space. At the corner of Third and Union will be the boiler room, 50x52 feet, and the office will be at the corner of Union street and Forest avenue. The factory will be divided into three rooms — the picking room, the machine room and the green market room, and one of the machines to be installed Vill be more than 162 feet in length. When the plant is equipped it will represent an outlay of nearly $100,000, and altogether it is " the big<^est thing" that Maysville has yet encountered.

During the last two sessions of Congress a bill calculated to accomplish this object was presented but failed of passage, al- though in one instance it was reported favorably by the Committee on Ways and Means and ap- proved by all but seventeen members of the House, but at the last session of Congress it seemed impossible to secure even a report on it The measure, briefly summarized, was to prohibit the putting into or upon packages of tobacco, ci- gars, or cigarettes anything beyond the proper trade labels or stamps, and it was to be made un- lawful for the manufacturer or dealer to offer any gift or premium for the return of any label, tag, stamp or coupon, and it also contained a proviso declaring that a label indicating the character of labor employed in the manufacture of the contents of the package should not be deemed an improper label within the meaning of the main paragraph. They say Congress is moral, and we will be charitable enough to admit it, but does Congress often overlook its own ends ? Does it ever forget the vote-gettiog or vote-repelling properties of legislation 1 Gift offers were to be excluded, tags or labels serving as a basis for premiums were to be barred, but the union label stamp was to stay; and that is how Congress expected to get in its vote-getting work. But about the right of free gift! Is it alien- able? Has Congress the right to prohibit any manufacturer from offering a free gift or premium to purchasers of his goods ? The right to tax is, of course, expected to cover a multitude of restrictions and inferences, and we are told that Congress may prescribe what shall go upon or into a taxable package of tobacco, but must not such prohibitions and restrictions sustain a definite and reasonable relation to the exercise of the power of taxation ? If that be a reasonable argument, what possi- ble relation can there be between the internal revenue tax and the offer of a free gift ? An argument on behalf of the bill was that the premium system encouraged injurious compe- tition, introduced into the trade elements hostile to the maintenance of high standards of quality, and constituted an incentive to dishonesty on the part of salesmen. Regrettable as the possibility of such things would be, yet can Congress violate plain rights in order to prevent possible abuses? The question of quality and price — fraud being absent — do not concern Congress. The measure was, of course, intended as a curb upon trust tactics, but there are two special reasons for believing that such an act may never become a law. First, because of the question of its constitutionality; for the right of a tobacco manufacturer to offer premiums is as clear as the right of a manufacturer of soap, perfumes or cereals to do so. It could be aggressively opposed, and even if passed, it could probably be successfully contested on that ground. Secondly, tobacco manufacturers are not of a uniform opinion re- garding its advisability, a fact which Congress will undoubtedly take cognizance of and refuse to interfere with the "right of free gift." :o: The Tobacco Exposition. Reviving Trade in York County. THE convention and exposition of cigar manufacturers and dealers which will be held in this city from October 15 to 22 next, promises to be one of the largest of the kind ever gotten up in any city. !t is intended to engage the largest hall that can be obtained for the occa- sion, as at least 10,000 square feet of floor space will be required for the exhibit alone. The hall will be tastefully decorated and picturesque bazaars erected for the display of in- dependent goods and the giving away of samples. A stage will be needed for band concerts and on one evening there will be a vaudeville show. On another evening there will be a mass meeting to be addressed by Senators and other prominent gen- tlemen Thecommittee on convention of the Retailers' Association of Philadelphia held a meeting during the past week, when the date of the exposition and convention and other details were decided upon. The committee will report at the next regular monthly meeting of the association, on the 28th inst The members of the committee are R. W. Bock, chairman; J. Harvey McHenry, A. Schaiblc, John Klindworth and B. F. Batten. — :o: T^HE tobacco acreage of 1904, according to the Government crop report, is less than that of 1903 by about 231,000 acres, or 23.3 per cent The average condition on July i was 85.3, against 85. 1 at the same time last year. General Hopefulness Apparent New Factory Building at Thomasville — The Hanover Factories. York, Pa., July 25, 1904. The cigar trade here seems to be on the mend. Nearly all the manufacturers are speaking more hopefully, and some in fact are quite busy. Jacob A. Mayer & Bro., of West York, are having a very steady trade this summer, and seem to have felt very little effect of an acknowledged dull season. A. H. Spangler, of Codorus, is one of the busiest factories in that section of the county, and at present is enjoying quite an extensive trade. THOMASVILLE. D. W. Hubley recently erected a fine modem building for cigar manufacturing purposes and is now occupying the same. Mr. Hubley is a thor- oughly experienced cigarmaker, and has lived in the vicinity of Thomasville for many years. He IS very energetic, and is much esteemed by al who know him. He proposes to place upon the the market a large line of a good quality of cigars, and his success seems to be almost assured. He announces that he is employing the most skilled workmen that he can secure and that nothing will be left undone to make his line of goods thoroughly attractive in appearance as well as meritorious in quality, being fully cognizantof these essentials, so that there is every reason to believe that his cigars will soon become well known for their intrinsic value, and that a rapid natural growth of business will be a merited result. HANOVER. A. F. Hostetter is working a large force steadily.and his products areconstantly growing in demand, and are well distributed among whole salers throughout the country, where they appear to be giving uniform satisfaction. The La Union Cigar Co. are again operating quite actively. Mr. Toomey, of this company, is full of aggressiveness, and it is evidently his in- tention to build up the business to extensive pro- portions. G. W. Bowman has just returned to this city from a short business trip among his jobbing trade. Things are moving along very satisfactorily with him, and he is making a vigorous drive upon his "Bob Bowman' five cen'. cigar, of which more detailed particulars will appear in a later issue of The Tobacco World. Cigar manufacturers in this section are of the opinion that the Cigarmakers' Union is making a serious mistake by not furnishing union factories more promptly with union labels than has been the rule lately. Quite a number of union factories have complained to me that they are not being as promptly and as sufficiently supplied with labels as they should be in view of a demand upon them for goods. LITTLESTOWN. The trade is a little quiet in this section, al- though George W. Parr is working steadily upon his regular lines and will introduce a new brand of goods early this fall, for which active prepara- tions are now under way. RED LION. Jacob Streavig, of Streavig & Gcmmill, cigar manufacturers, has returned from a business trip through the northwest and west in the interest of his firm. He stopped off en route to take in the St Louis Exposition. IMPORTERS OF AVANA 123 N. THIRD ST MtLAOBLfHiA JrVetterlein & Co.

Buying Now for Present Needs — Promise An Early Return to Purchase Their Supplies for the Season — Business Among Dealers and Manufacturers. Havana, July i8, 1904. During the week gone by the Havana market has become quite actire again. and owing to the influx of seven Ameri- can clear Havana cigar manufacturers, the sales show a sudden large increase. As the Partido crop has been more ad- vanced than the Vuelta Abajo. the bulk of the transactions consisted of this growth, thus demonstrating that the pur- chases have been made more. with the view of supplying immediate demands than to stock up heavily for the season. A good many of the above buyers have expressed their opinion that they will not wait more than a couple of months before paying us another visit, when they will secure all they shall need before an- other crop comes around. Judging by present appearances, there is no doubt that the Vuelta Abajo and Partido leaf will all be needed to supply the ever-in- creasing expansion of the clear Havana cigar trade in the United States, and there will be no surplus stocks left over in the spring of 1905. The erroneous idea, prevailing at the beginning of this year, that the supply would exceed the demand, ought no longer to be enter- tained by far-seeing manufacturers, as they may find out the contrary, to their loss in dollars and cents. While prices have ruled more moderate than last year, the chances favor an advance this com- ing fall, and that the cream of the crop will be skimmed off by the early comers stands to reason. So far as Reniedios is concerned, one dealer, who has just re- turned from an extensive trip over the Santa Clara province, claims that the whole crop will not exceed 50,000 to 60.000 bales at most. If correct, it would only mean from 30,000 to 36.000 bales of first and second capaduras for the United States, and in that event higher prices for these grades would not only be justified, but would-be paid will- ingly. The future will solve this question. Salea. Sales amounted to 8,032-balesIin all, or 2.929 of Vuelta Abajo, 4.803 Partido, and 300 bales of Remedios. American buyers took 4,016 bales, localjfactories, 2,527, and European buyers, 1,489. rr ifl^VBi Buyers Come and Go. Arrivals. — Ignacio Haya, of Sanchez y Haya, and Samuel I. Davis, of Samuel I.

The trust shipped 350,000 cigars to Ger- many last week, one-half of which are said to have been made by small outside manufacturers who only work the cheap- est Partido leaf, and who have no repu- tation to lose on their brands. H. Upmann & Co. purchased 650 bales of Vuelta Abajo and shipped 250,000 ci- gars. Their factory is working well, and as they intend to start soon on the new leaf, there is no doubt that they will soon be very busy, particularly when their customers have had a chance to try the new cigars made out of the excellent purchases in the lowland Vuelta Abajo district. Cifuentes, Fernandez & Co. are as busy as any factory at this season of the year; all the tables in their cigarmakers' galleries are occupied, and they have ^ood orders for their famous Partagas brand from the United States, London, Germany and South America. RabcU, Costa, Vales & Co. are' per- fectly satisfied in their Ramon Allones factory, as Don Jesus Vales reports no change in the arrivals of orders from the American importers, as well as from Eu- rope and Huenos Ayres.

Their Nene and Jefferson brands find increas- ing numbers of customers in the United States. Behrens & Co. , of the Sol factory, re- port no change in their steady demand. Enrique Dorado & Co., of El Rico Habano, are favored with fair orders from all countries. Bayluv, Selling and Other Motes of iBterest* Ignacio Haya is said to have purchased fully 1,000 bales of the new crop for his firm of Sanchez y Haya. Aixala & Co. were the biggest sellers this week, disposing of 1,331 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. John Wardlow, President of the Ruy Lopez Co. , did not take long in selecting 600 bales of the choicest Vuelta Abajo leaf to tide them over in their Key West factory. He will return for a fresh sup. ply inside of two months. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez sold 680 bales of Partido and Vuelta Abajo, and are still in treaty upon several large lots. Simon Batt only stayed three days, which was, however, sufficient to take over close to 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Tumbadero which he had purchased upon his last trip in May, and which were packed for him. He will return for a fresh supply in about two months. Garcia & Co. have made some satisfac- tory sales during the past week, but Don Manuel Garcia is averse to giving any figures. That he must be rushed with business is best understood by his having cabled for his partner, Don Norberto Cueva, to come here at once, and who must have left on the steamer Mexico om New York on the i6thin«t When the eight of the packing season coincides with an active selling demand it is im. possible for one man alone to attend to everything. S. L. Goldberg eHijos have done some business but refuse to give any figures. Samuel I. Davis is as jolly as ever, and only regrets that business prudence prevents him from buying double the quantity of leaf, as, he says, so far he has always run short in his purchases, and his business is steadily expanding. He is said to have selected alreadysabout 1,000 bales of prime leaf. Other sellers were; — Rabell, Costa & Co., 427 bales: Jorge & P. Castaneda, 400; G. Salomon y Hnos.,300; Jose Menendez, 200; Jose F. Rocha, 200; Muniz Hnos. & Co., 350; Gonzalez, Benitez & Co. , 250; F. Fernandez y Hnos., 138; Sobrinos de V. Diaz, 130; Rodriguez, Bautista & Co., 124. P. F. Carcaba purchased 1,400 bales of Vuelta Abajo through his buyer, Don Jesus Pando, in the country, amongst which is the famous vega Las Cuevas|de San Juan y Martinez. Locb.Nunez Havana Co. received 500 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Partido and Re- medios the past week. Suarez Hnos. received 500 bales of their Vuelta Abajo escojidas. A. Santaella is very active in our market in selecting for his firm the most suitable vegas, and details may be forth- coming next week. Voneiff & Vidal Cruz are working strenuously in their several escojidas in the Vuelta Abajo and Hoyo Colorado, from which they are receivino; good sized lots every week. Gabriel Balbin is trying to obtain again at least one-fourth of the famous vega of Padron, of San Luis, which is styled the •• King Pin " of Vuelta Abajo lowland section. As he had bought a large part last year of this same vega, he is anxious to secure it again, as he con- siders the aroma still finer than in 1903, and in order to get it price will be no object. i Aixala & Co. sold 9 bales of Vuelta 1 Abajo wrappers to the Romeo y Julieta factory here for $$ 000, and say that no j shade grown leaf could be any finer in color or texture, while the aroma is cer- tainly superior. I Gonzalez, Benitez & Co. have received 2,000 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Partido and Remedies, mostly of their own packings. Antonio Suarez received 300 bales last week of his fine Vuelta Abajo packings, and has just completed his Tumbadero I escojida which he made here in the city. The latter amounts to 318 bales in all, of which there are only 60 bales of fillers, the balance consisting of wrappers and caperos of excellent light colors. Jose Menendez has admitted Don Monuel Sanchez, well known here under the name of " Praviano, "to partnership, and as the latter is an excellent judge and well liked in the Vuelta Abajo. it will help to extend the business of Don Jose in having a choice selection of the best Vuelta Abajo vegas always on hand. Among the recent purchases are the vega of Mamey Grande, of Rio Hondo, and two vegas of Barbacoas, near San Luisi amounting to about 400 bales. Joaquin Hedesa is making at his ware- house, Escobar 102, two very fine pack- ings of Tumbadero and Artemisa, some bundles of which your correspondent saw. They were a very thin, elastic leaf, with the lightest shades of color, therefore when completed no manufacturer could desire any better packing. He intends to have from 1,500 to 2,000 bales this year. Don Joaquin is the successor of Martinez, Hedesa & Co., which firm was established in New York in 1903. He (Concluded on page 23.) J. F.

Bijur, president of the National Cigar Leaf Association, has entered upon his duties as chief executive in an aggres- sive and unmistakable manner.by issuing a letter to the leaf trade at large calling attention to the danger of any further reduction of the duty on Philippine cigars and tobacco, and urging them to be watchful and to take active measures when the proper time shall have arrived. His letter was as follows; Dear Sir: Recognizing in the official agitation for a further material reduction in the duty on Philippine tobacco and cigars the most serious menace that has threatened the cigar and tobacco indus try of this country, the National Cigar Leaf iobacco Asisociation, of which 1 have the honor to be president, is anxious to take timely measures to prevent either the institution ol free trade with the Phil- ippines, or a considerable reduction in the present rate of duty on Philippine tobacco and its products. The coming Congressional elections afford the various tobacco and cigar associations a favorable opportunity of informing Congressional candidates on the opinion of our trade on this subject, and of perhaps securing ftom such candidates a statement of what their course of action will be when the question will come before Congress. If you view the question of possible free trade with the Philippines with the same grave concern with which we re- gard it, will you kindly write me an ex- pression of opinion, and whether or not you will cooperate with us in the plan we have indicated. No financial expendi- ture will be involved in rendering us assistance; it will simply require that you and the members of your association bring their utmost influence to bear on the Congressional nominees of both par- ties in their home districts to oppose leg- islation harmful to the tobacco industry of this country. Hoping for your prompt reply contain- ing the assurance that you will work with us earnestly and enthusiastically, I am yours respectfully, A. Bijur, President 127 Maiden Lane, New York City. • • • J. S. Batroff, a Philadelphia leaf to bacco broker, was in New York this week, accompanied by Messrs. Chas. and Fred Hippie, of Hippie Bros., leaf dealers in Philadelphia, who were looking over the market in quest of suitable goods for their trade. • • • F. Garcia & Bros, have instituted proceedings against Juan Garcia and Theodore Garcia, trading as J. Garcia & Bro., of this city, alleging an infringe- ment upon a copyrighted brand for cigars. • • • The regular monthly meeting of the Retail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers' Asso- ciation) of NeW;York was held at the association headquarters on Third avenue on Tuesday last, and was fairly well attended. Concerning the proposed insurance feature, S. J. Freeman, chairman of a committee! appointed to formulate plans for its promulgation, made only an in- formal report expressing a desire for a little more time to confer with some ad- ditional members before filing a final report. It is proposed, however, to in- clude life, fire and sick benefit insurance, as well as a fund to aid members, etc. President^Donigan reported the pro- gress of the association, which he said was going ahead all the time, and he felt confident that the months of July and August would show quite as favorable a result as did the month of June. President R. E. Lane, of the National Association, who was present, suggested the possibility of taxing the retail dealers in cigars and tobacco, but the proposi- tion was promptly objected to by Presi- dent Donigan, on the ground that it would seriously affect small dealers, probably driving some of them out of business, for the local association was ^ dependent largely upon the small dealers for their support. Sidney J. Freeman, however, favored the adoption of such a movement, because he feU that it would have a^tendency to keep barbers, paper stores, candy shops, peanut stands and street veudors out of the cigar field ; but no definite action was taken. It was snggested by Mr. Lane that at some future meeting of the association the Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, and also cigar and tobacco manufacturers, be invited to attend for the purpose of ex- changing views and getting closer to- gether. The suggestion was received with much favor on all sides, and it it expected that an early meeting will be selected for such purpose . '' " C. A.

Collector McCoach, of Philadelphia, recently summoned an Italian cigar man- ufacturer before him because he had no sign displayed in front of his shop, as required by the laws governing the In- ternal Revenue Department The Italian responded by bringing to the office of the Collector a sign with let- ters on it three inches high — in Italian. " But the law contemplates the use of the English language," said the Collec- tor. The Italian demurred to this, and the matter was taken to Washington, where it was decided that signs of cigar manufacturers, so far as they related to the department, must be in English. IMPERIAL TOBACCO DIVIDEND. London, July 25. — The Imperial To- bacco Co., Ltd., has declared for the matches is being marketed with a view with a capital of 1250,000. The incor- porators given are Jacob M. Duncan, H. Stewart Moorhead and Henry Ashbumer. Mr. Moorhead, when seen by a Tobacco World representative, said that the new company would probably not be in oper- ation until next week, and therefore he c uld not make any statement of its future policy at present The concern will not move from its present quarters in Philadelphia, and business will continue much the same as before. It is likely that the Marcello and other well-known cigars will be pushed more vigorously than ever Mr. Ashbumer is to be a director in the new company. H.

Eisenbrand, with L Bamberger & Co., started for the west last Thursday night, soon after his return from a trip up the State. E, J. Powell, office clerk for George Burghard, leaf dealer, has returned to work, after being laid up for a week with a badly sprained ankle. Mr. Powell does not blame the Union Company, saying that his foot bent under him as he leaped from a trolley car. J. Hirschberg & Bro. continue to re- port excellent leaf sales. Among the transactions last week was a sale of 300 cases of old Wisconsin tobacco to a large manufacturer up the State. LEAF WAREHOUSE FOR LOUISVILLE. On September i, 1904, there is to be opened in Louisville, K>., a new leaf to- bacco warehouse, by Geo. C. Turner & Co., who have leased the Falls City Warehouse from the Dennis Long estate, the owners. The members of the con- cern arc J. C, G. C. and J. S. Turner, of Shelbyville, sons of Joseph S. Turner, who was for many years actively con- nected with the Louisville tobacco trade as a member of the firm of Rice & Turner. He has retired from business. They have a capital of 1 100, 000, and will run the establishment as an inde- pendent warehouse. several stated that business was better than that of the corresponding period last year. Dohan & Taitt had an imusually heavy demand the past few days. This firm has a new salesman on the road, who is scoring a success in the Western States. He is Joseph H. Sprenger, Jr., and his initial trip has proven him to be a valu able addition to the firm* s traveling force. He has been sending in plenty of order?. T. J. Daly, another salesman, has been making an extensive trip through the Eastern States, where he found fair busi ness. Salesman L. F. Mueller made a satisfactory canvas through Pennsylvania. L. P. Kimmig & Co. are having an excellent demand for their new 1903 crop, which has been pronounced very fine. The firm considers itself fortunate in not encountering any black rot in this stock, a failing that has been conspicuous, they say, in many of the 1903 crops. The business consummated in Philadel- phia has been very good. D. Pareira & Co. shipped 35 cases during the week, which somewhat de- pleted the stock of the warehouse. The firm expects a new lot of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania tobacco this week. F. Eckerson & Co. say that their busi- ness is better th«n at the corresponding period last year, which goes to help ex- plode the opinions of "calamity howlers" regarding the Presidential year. C. D. Jones, leaf dealer, reports a fair retail business. This dealer will soon send representatives over the old territory of the house, with the view of regaining the former trade up through the State. t J. H. STILES . . . Leaf Tobacco. . . YORK, PA.

The cigar industry in the vicinity of Bowmansville seems to be rather quiet just now. A. D. Killheffer, proprietor of Eureka Cigar Factory, is among the busiest in the county. He has been running a full force for months, and while more help could be used he has no room for seating any more cigar makers than he now has. In short, he is in need of larger quarters, as orders are coming in steadily, and sufficiently large in volume to keep him busy for a long time to come. »%%»»%^^ MANUFACTURERS' TOBACCO CO. SELLS OUT. Acquired by ContinentSLl Tobacco Co. Louisville, Ky., July 22, 1904. The sale of the plant of the Manufac turers" Tobacco Company, of this city, to the Continental Tobacco Company, which has been seeking control of the former concern for some time, although the transactions have been kept as quiet as possible, has at last been consummated, but it is expected that the plant will be continued at least for the present under the old management. Practically all of the capital stock of the company has been secured by Continental interests. The Manufacturers' Tobacco Co. was organized by John Whitman, Hugh Gorman and the late John E. Doerhoefer, together with some others, and the stock was originally held principally by Louis- ville people. The officers of the company are: Hugh Gorman, president ; J. E. Doerhoefer, Jr., vice president, and R. E. Strong, secretary. Both John Whit- man and Hugh Gorman were formerly connected with the Finzer Tobacco Co. Upon the death of the late John Doer- hoefer the Fidelity Trust Co. became the executor of his estate and promptly sold his holdings to the Continental Tobacco Company. At the time of the sale the Doerhoefer estate controlled the corpo- ration. Mr. Doerhoefer owned 48 per cent of the stock at the time of his death, and when the Fidelity came into au- thority John E. Doerhoefer, Jr., and other heirs were advised to buy the con- trol of the company. Three per cent of the stock wai held by capitalists in Detroit, and was ac- quired through a personal visit of Mr. Doerhoefer' s sons. With the 48 per cent which they already owned, the con- trol of the company belonged to the es- tate. This was sold to the Continental, though the price is not known. The Continental bought the holdings of John Whitman, Price Owen and Hugh Gor- man, giving the trust practically complete ownership of the plant. ACQUIRE A STORE IN LACROSSE Fay Lewis & Bros. Co., who already have prominent stores at Rockford, 111., and Milwaukee, Wis., recently purchased the store and business of the Bigelow Cigar Company at La Crosse, Wis., which is to be another addition to their list of branch establishments. Negotia- tions had been under way for some time. FLORIDA TOBACCO CROP. Quincy, Fla. , July 22, '94. The tobacco crop this year promises to be a huge success. There was some un- easiness at one time on the part of to- bacco growers who were rather doubtful of the final results, but later rains dis- pelled all fear from that source. Among the larger planters, where irrigation was employed, the tobacco was steadily in a thriving condition. Pruning has been practically completed throughout the to- bacco growing district Some planters, who were not irrigating their land, found the plants were making such slow progress that some plowed them under and planted anew. This will delay the usual time of harvesting, but it is now regarded as cer- tain that they will have a more uni- form crop than they otherwise could have had. On the whole, tobacco growing here seems to be in a healthy condition. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Match It, if you Can-- You Can't. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ "Match-It" Cheroots are the finest product of the kind on the market.

In my last letter I spoke of the proba bility of a large amount of tobacco being ' ready to top. But I am very happy to say this week that instead of a very large amount being ready only a small amount was really ready to be topped: for the plants are surely getting to be old fash- ioned, and are growing broad instead of tall. The comparison between 1903 and 1904 is very marked. Last year much of the tobacco, when it had acquired the height of one foot, shot up the stalk, and in a day or two it began to show the bud. But this year the bud is very slow in making its appearance, and old grow- ers say now that there is every indication of a heavy yield. The plants are broad and ^stocky, of good color, with well shaped leaves, and, as a man observed to me, some of the stalks are larger now than many of them were at the time of cutting last year, and the planting, at least where it was set early enough to form an opinion, looks now as though we should have a fine crop. When a plant of tobacco puts out a large stalk we are pretty sure of having a large and heavy weight of leaf. But if the stalk is small we may as well calcu- late on short, narrow leaves of a dirty, yellowish color, with a very mottled 'sur> face after curing. When that plant is properly dampened (cither by the use of steam or by moist weather)'the leaf will be soft and glossy, and will sweat without harm. While a crop with the calico- colored leaf will not dampen right, but is liable to be injured in.4he|shed or in the sweat room. Our correspondents write: Suffield : • ' Tobacco hasjof late been making a rapid growth, and the fields that were set early are now ready to be topped. Am sorry to report a slight damage to some fields by the hail, the great enemy to the tobacco grower. We are having a fine rain this morning, which will do the crop lots of good." East Whately, Mass.: "Tobacco in this section is looking fine, growing rapidly and promises to be a very nice crop. • • Hatfield, Mass. : "Tobacco is making a very rapid growth, and the promise of a large yield is plainly to be seen." Sunderland, Mass.: "Tobacco has made a good growth in the past few days and looks as though we should have a fine crop, provided we can escape the hail. It is very warm, and with an occa- sional shower we shall have fine growth." Today I visited a field of tobacco and counted the leaves that were as wide or wider than my three fingers, and the least number found were fourteen. Some had fifteen leaves on a stalk and one had sixteen leaves, while ten feet away you could not see the bud. We call that large tobacco for any year, and the promise for a large, heavy growth. In this particular field there has been but one setting over, and in ihe three acres you cannot find one hundred small plants. We attribute this good growth to a liberal amount of potash applied. (But wait and see !). We were pained to learn by the local papers of a visita. tion of hail July 16, and to note the amount of damage done. In some towns the injury was estimated up in the thousands of dollars. I am always sorry to chronicle any such hard luck as has been reported, and I hope the damage was overestimated. What we have heard of was mostly in Connecticut. ~-Amer. Cultivator. EDGERTON, WIS. A season of vacation days has about arrived for the leaf tobacco trade. A small amount of buying of last season's crop is still going on but generally speak, ing the packers have about closed up the work of handling the crop and the ware- houses have a deserted appearance again. A moderate traffic in low grades continues but prices do not rise much above that paid for stemming stock. A few trans- actions coming to notice are: Henry Lewis, lacs at 7 and 3c. J.

It would place the standard of the cigar business where it ought to be, and do away with a number of irresponsible dealers. But I do not think that such a law can be passed, as it might amount to special or class legislation, and could be declared unconstitutional." George T. Browning, of George T. Browning & Co., wholesalers and retailers, expressed the opinion that a man has the right to enter any business he chooses, and ought not be prevented by a law invented and passed for a favored few. He thought that the present plan to have a retail tax law passed was all talk, and had been tried before. — :o:- ItaL!ia.n Lan/^u2Lge Not Recognized. OLLECTOR McCOACH.of the First Penn- sylvania District, recently summoned to his office an Italian cigar manufacturer, who had dis- played a sign as lequiied by Interal Revenue reg- ulations, but it was in the Italian language. The manufacturer contended that he was complying with the requirements of the law, but the Collector declared that he was not, and would have to adopt a sign lettered in the English language, and to satisfy himself that his contention was correct the Collector addressed the department at Washing- ton, and received the following reply: Treasury Department, Office Commissioner Internal Revenue Washington, D. C, July 18, 1904. Mr. William McCoach, Collector First Dis- trict, Philadelphia, Pa, Sir: — Your letter of the 13th instant has been received, referring to Revenue Agent Alexander's report of the 12th instant, charg- ing violations of Section 3388 Revised Statues, by , a registered cigar manufac- turer in your district, " in not having dis- played a sign as cigar manufacturer. " You say that , upon being sum- moned to your ofifice, " claimed that he did have a sign displayed, stating his name and business, in letters at least three inches long, but that such sign was in the Itahan language, and admitted that he did not have displayed a sign in the English language, and he claimed that he had not violated the law," whereupon you "told him that the sign contemplated by the law must be in the English language. " In the opinion of this office, you are un- doubtedly correct in the position thus taken. No other construction could reasonably be given to this statute. * ♦ * Respectfully, John W. Yerkes, Commissioner. If it was this manufacturer's idea to use the sign as a commercial means in attracting the partic- ular attention of his own countrymen, there would be nothing to prevent him from using, in addition to the regulation sign in English, another sign in Italian and thus attain the desired end. An Exhibit off National Scope. TT N EXHIBIT of the manufactures of tobacco, /^ cigars, etc., that are made by independent manufacturers will be held in Philadelphia this fall, under the auspices of the Retail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers' Association of Philadelphia. This is an assured fact, and furthermore it prom- ises to be far more extensive in its scope than had been anticipated when the idea was first agitated. The committee which is at work on this project is working very diligently, and with an ambition that leaves no room for doubt as to its success. The original idea was to confine the exhibit to independent brands of tobacco only, but the committee has now, and wisely we think, decided that the display could with propriety be consider- ably augmented by including all classes of goods handled by retail tobacconists. It will, therefore, also be possible fot cigar and cigarette manufac- turers to participate. Neither is it the idea of the committee to con- fine the exhibit to merely local factories, but they purpose to issue invitations to manufacturers throughout the country, making the enterprise one of national scope. ■ f'T — ri — -"^ oP^^ L_I THIRD ST HILJkDei^HIA J;Vetterlein & Co.

T^HE representatives of the U, C. S. Co. are believed to have receded in their efforts to secure a foothold in Milwaukee and have cancelled the lease of a store on East Water street, a short distance south of Michigan street. The agents of the building say that they know nothing more about the matter than that they had received notification that the company would not want the quarters previously spoken for, but for which there seems to have been no lease actually executed. It is also learned that a quantity of fixtures which arrived there some time ago have been ordered shipped to Chi- cago, which would seem to indicate that, for the present at least. Milwaukee is to be abandoned. • • • WEIFFENBACH BR.ANCH IN COLUMBIA T^HE J. E.

The lease is for five years. • • • TOBACCO JOCULARITY. "pRETTY GOOD JOKES are occasion- ally cracked about the cigar business. Here is one from England: THE CIGARS THEY SELL AT AUCTION. The premises were coming down, and for the last few weeks they were being used as an auction room by certain keen looking benefactors of humanity. The auctioneer was endeavoring to dispose of a stock of beautifully labeled cigars, and he grew quite eloquent as he discribed their virtues. "In short, gentlemen," he wound up, "you can't get better. 1 don't care where you go, you can't get better; you can' t get better. " "No, you can't get better," broke in a bystander. "I smoked one last week, and I'm not better yet." Here is another, from an exchange: A man in Manchester, N. H., who is an inveterate smoker, narrowly escaped death recently. He is near sighted, and, having lost his eye-glasses, smoked three packages of breakfast food before his friends came to his rescue and saved him» C. A.

A Considerable Reduction Reported in the Business of the Week — Prospects Good for an Early Revival — Doings of Manufacturers and Dealers. While the total transactions which were closed do show a falling ofif again in the number of bales, there are, however, several transactions still pending, and altogether the business done has been more widely distributed in smaller lots, and the tone of the market is certainly a good one. The dealers are willing to meet buyers, and the latter do not hesi- tate to purchase all goods suitable for their respective wants. One drawback is that notwithstanding the large receipts from the country the vegas often arrive incomplete, and as far as the escojidas are concerned the cost of the same is too much in doubt to enable the packer to figure the value of the different classes, therefore, rather than sell now, the own- ers prefer to wait until they can tell the yield and figure out the cost of each class. The principal demand continues to be for Partido and Vuelta Abajo factory vegas, with a fair call also for the low grades on the part of the local cigarette factories, and for export to Europe. Heavy fillers of Vuelta Abajo and first and second capaduras of Remedies are not asked for yet: in fact, as they will need from two to three months to cure sufficiently, there is no inducement for the Northern buyers to come here and stand the shrinkage in weight, the cost of storage and fire in surance, and lose the interest upon the capital invested. The work in the num- erous escojidas in the couutry is now at its height, as indicated by the heavy receipts each week, and most of the lots coming in show up in good condition. Sales foot up 4.750 bales in all, or 1,884 bales of Vuelta Abajo, 2,500 of Partido, and 366 of Remedies. The United States buyers took 2,400 bales, local factories 1,550, and 800 bales went to Europe. Boyera Come and Go. Arrivals: — Lincoln Lincoln, of P.

Havana Ciffar Mnnufactai'era There is no change in the situation to speak of, although the demand for Ger many is now beginning to be more widely distributed among the several factories, and as this country is always the forerun- ner of the fall trade, a brisk business is anticipated from all directions when the proper time comes. The winter months in the Southern Hemisphere, which cor- respond to our summer months, luckily help to give a fair share of orders, and mitigate the dull spell. The Argentine Republic. Chile. Australia, etc., while not great consumers of Havana cigars, nevertheless are welcome customers to our manufacturers, as they are satisfied with, and partly prefer, darker colors, thus giving an outlet for the heavy wrap- pers, of which each vega contains more or less. The large independent factories of H. Upmann & Co., Fartagas, Ramon lAlU ones, Crepusculo, and Sol, all have good orders from Germany and London, with a fair sprinkling also from the United States. Cifuentes, Fernandez & Co. are begin- ning to move gradually from their old building, Industria 160, to Industria 174, where they expect to be permanently located by August 2. The latter location is the old Villar y Villar factory, belong, ing to the trust and vacated a short time ago. The Partagas factory will not only occupy the building No. 174, but also the top story of 176, running to the cor- ner of Dragones street, where the trust had two more factories, the Flor de Yn- clan and Meridiana of Pedro Murias; thus one independent factory needs the same space as three of the once renowned trust factories, "Sic transit gloria"! The cigarmakers of the Punch factory have gone on a strike for higher wages. ^ ESTABLISHED 1844 I H. Upmann & Go HAVANA.

The New York leaf trade has expe- rienced a moderate business during the week, and sampling of some of the goods is now progressing in anticipation of an early arrival of Western buyers. Su- matra sales have become somewhat smaller and not quite so numerous as for some weeks previous. Havana leaf is having an abundant in- quiry, but sales have been only mod- erate. J^J5W YORlt. JOS.

The Victor Thorsch Co., since making it a 5c leader, have been doing a very large business on that brand, having success- fully introduced it in nearly every im- portant cigar centre in the United States.

FACTORY. The Theobald & Oppenheimer Co., cigar manufacturers, have completed ne- gotiations for the opening of a new cigar factory at Perkasie, Pa. This factory is expected to be one of the largest of the company' s circuit of cigar manufacturing plants. It will employ about 250 hands and will be in operation in about five weeks. The Theobald & Oppenheimer Co. already carries on its pay roll 1,400 hands. The firm has been steadily put- ting on new hands at all of its factories, especially in New York, where there is a big demand for its lines of fine cigars. The employes of the New York factory, calling themselves "The William Penn Society," intend to give another picnic this summer. Recently they gave a pic- nic, which a large delegation from the Philadelphia factory attended, and found that they had so much money on hand above expenses that they concluded to give another excursion, again inviting the Philadelphians to attend. John N. Kolb has returned from a New England business trip and expressed himself as much pleased with the condi- tion of the cigar and tobacco business. The T. & O. factories are now bu^er than they were last winter. LIBERMAN BROS. TO MOVE BACK TO THIRD STREET. The building until recently occupied by Liberman Brothers, leaf dealers, on Third street near Race, is undegoing ex- tensive alterations. The adjoining build ing on the south side, occupied by a leather firm that will shortly move, will become part of the new Liberman build- ing when the intervening wall is removed. The double building, when ready, will be occupied by Liberman Brothers, leaf dealers, and the Liberman Mfg. Co., dealers in cigar making machines. %% A NEW CIGAR COMPANY. Philadelphia is noted the country over for its fine cigars, and the city is to have a new cigar manufacturing plant that will add to its reputatioii in this direction. It has been learned on an undoubted authority that the CoresMartinez Cigar Manufacturing Co. will shortly start into business in this city with offices and fac- tory at 508 Cuthbert street. A charter will be applied for under the laws of this State, and until it is obtained the namesof officers and directors as well as the capi- tal stock of the new corporation will be withheld. The company will manufacture nothing but high grade, clear Havana goods. The names of ten of their cigars have already been decided upon. One will be the ••Convincidad" and the other the "Mag- nifica Manufacturer's Club," both'ioc cigars and of excellent quality and flavor. MR. GUMPERT ILL IN EUROPE. Richard T. Gumpert, of the firm of Gumpert liros. , cigar manufacturers of this city, who, together with his wife, sailed for Europe on the Red Star steam- , ship Kroonland, on July 9th, has been i quite ill at Antwerp. A few days before his departure from this city Mr. Gumpert was ill, but on account of his own resolu- tion and the advice of his physician and friends, the trip was not postponed. He became sick a few days after the Kroonland left the port of New York and his illness continued more or less until the end of the voyage. Arriving at Antwerp about the iSth of July he was confined at that port at his hotel'for nearly ten weeks, his trip through Hol- land, Switzerland. Germany and France being for the present postponed. Reassuring news, however, has reached Philadelphia concerning h i s health. Chief Clerk Tracy, in charge of Gumpert Bros, office, received a cablegram on August I, dated the previous day, from Mr. Gumpert, stating that he was much improved and had started for Nauheim, a health resort in Germany, to recupe- rate. At Nauheim there are excellent baths for invalids. Mr. Gumpert appears to be suffering from bilious and other troubles. While in Europe last summer he stayed nearly all the time at Nauheim with the exception of the few days he spent at Dessau, Germany, with his rela- tives there. BUFFALO BILL WANTS ROEDEL'S CIGARS. W. K. Roedel & Co., the Eleventh street manufacturers, enjoyed the exclu- sive patronage of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. Col. Cody and his m \nager are admirers of good cigars and one day this week Mr. Roedel received from Liv- erpool, England, a cablegram from Buf- falo Bill requesting the shipment of i, 500 Flor de Roedel Invincible high grade cigars. About a week ago Roedel & Co. shipped Buffalo Bill 500 of the same cigars. Col. Cody is at present on one of his extensive tours of Europe, where his show draws larger crowds than in America, and, as on previous occasion*, Roedel & Co. expect large orders for ci- gars from him from any point on that continent. BuATaIo Bill and his manager smoke most of the cigars themselves and their orders amount to more than 10,000 a year. 14 For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes, go to Bsubiished isso. L. J.

Valentine & Son have been putting out on an aver- age of 20 per cent more cigars this year than last. The present busy season has been unheard of before during summer in the history of the concern. On August 13 the Valentine base ball club, together with a crowd of enthusiastic ad- mirers, give an excursion to Hatboro, beyond Willow Grove, to play a picked team at that place. H. C. Ellis, of Arthur Hagan & Co., has been spending the summer with his family at Merion. Pa. The new sign of the El Draco Cigar Company, which was placed at Twenty- second and Chestnut streets, was robbed recently ot several boxes of •' Hunter " and " Rutherford " cigars. A heavy wire screen will in future protect the glass in front of the exhibit. M. E. Casserly, of the El Draco firm has gone to western New York State; Charles H. Heath to western Pennsylvania and John E. Mathews to the south. Channing Allen, of Channing Allen & Co., was off on one of his regular trips to the seashore during the week. Mr. Allen has some little trade to look after between Atlantic City and Cape May, particularly a t Wildwood and Holly Beach. But being and accomplished yachtsman, Mr. Allen manages to include a little pleasure on the briny deep in these trips to the shore. Frank Teller, of the cigar manufac- turing firm of Frank Teller «S: Co. , man- ages to substitute the seashore breezes for the aroma of the tobacco factory about two days every week. He spends Sat- urdays and Sundays at Atlantic City. About the middle of August Remigio Lopez, proprietor of the new cigar factory at Havana, manufacturer the La Mas Fermosa brand, is expected to pay a visit to some of the prominent dealers and jobbers in Philadelphia. George Valentine, of the firm of A. S. Valentine & Son, has been spending part of the week at his home at Womels- dorf. Pa., and where the firm has two cigar factories. The Valentine base ball team was defeated by the West Philadel- phia team last Saturday by a score of 8 to 7, in spite of the fact that the Valen- tine pitcher struck out twelve men. Collector McCoach. of the Internal Revenue Department, had some little trouble with a down town Italian cigar manufacturer who had no sign containing I the nature of his business and district factory number in front of his shop. The manufacturer furnished one in the Italian language but this would not suit the Col- lector. The manufactur protested, but ' Commissioner Yerkes promptly upheld the Collector, saying that the English language was the only one known to the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Ph. Margolies, at r322 Girard avenue, is having a good run on his "711" 5c cigars throughout the city, and every bench in his factory is filled. B. Lipschultz, of 44 North Twelfth street, is now about ready to market "The Bride," a new brand of cigars, which are attractively packed in sliding boxes containing ten each. They are made from the cuttings of the Flor de Lips, a clear Havana cigar. Constantine Stephano, of Stephano Bros., the well known cigarette manufac- turers, has returned from his trip to Europe, bringing with him his bride to whom he was married in Greece.

Kimmig & Co. L. P. Kimmig & Co. are of the opinion that the Presidential year is having very little to do with the state of the leaf trade. More orders for Pennsylvania Broadleaf tobacco werereceived from manufacturers throughout the State during the week vana and Sumatra wrapper. The fall trade is expected to start in early in August. The house has been rather short handed owing to clerks being off on vacations. Salesman Konnold expects to get off on the road for a Western trip some time this week. J. L. Metzger, the wellknown leaf dealer of Lancaster, narrowly escaped serious injury, if not death, recently. While out driving his horse ran away and Mr. Metzger was thrown out of the carriage, breaking two ribs. He is re covering rapidly. S. Weinberg, of the leaf firm of S. Weinberg & Co.. took a business trip through New Jersey during the week. This firm says that business last week was the best done for several months, and an early fall trade is expected. Hippie Brothers, leaf dealers, took a trip to New York last week where they purchased 44 bales of excellent Sumatra tobacco. This firm has been doing a steady business all through the warm weather. Dohan & Taitt report no lull in the leaf business. Last week was the best for some time. The large number of inquiries for leaf goods also show the prospect of an early fall trade of no small proportions. & Newman received a new than could be filled.

Rosenberg, who has been con. nected for some time past with the El Provedo Cigar Company, has become a member of the Vicente Portuondo Cigar Manufacturing Company. At the time of the incorporation of the Vicente Port- uondo Cigar Manufacturing Company, not long ago. Louis Weinberg became vice president and Joseph S. Weinberg became treasurer. Previous to their en. trance into the cigar manufacturing busi- ness the Weinbergs were diamond mer- chants, in which field they are well known. It is said that Mr. Rosenberg may assume the offices of vice president and treasurer of the Vicente Portuondo Company, the Weinbergs simply remain, ing in the company as directors and stockholders. A meeting of the directors was to have been held one day this week but had to be postponed on account of the absence of one of the members. This change in the management is not expected to cause any change in the policy of the company, which will con- tinue the same as ever. The new cigars being brought out by the company have not yet been announced. Miss Fay Templeton, the actress, has sued the Onargo Sigaret Co. for |2o,ooo for using her picture in an advertisement for the Rivoli cigarette.

All Shapes, All Sizes Lancaster's Tobacco Men, Favorable Report for the Week Just Closed — Some Well Known Men of the Trade. I^ncaster, Pa., Aug. i, 1904. The past week was a more favorable one in the tobacco trade in general than for some time. Several local transactions of more than everyday size were consum- mated, and one packing of about 500 cases put up by a country packer was sold to a prominent New York dealer. The growing crop is springing up wonderfully fast now; the excellent weather of the past week has been most beneficial. As a cigar leaf producing State Penn- sylvania is, of course, an important factor. Naturally enough there are also in its to- bacco centers numerous fine and well equipped establishments for the handling of leaf tobacco, among which the ware house of Menno M. Fry & Co. , at Landis- ville, is a modem establishment, speci ally adapted to the purpose, and making a notably imposing appearance. The building is a very substantial structure built of brick, three stories high, 146 feet long and 56 feet wide, and con- tainsthe most improved types of elevators necessary for the handling of so large a quantity of leaf tobacco as the capacity of such a building would require. The lower floor is in concrete, and in every way the building has been constructed with a view to minimizing fire risks. The result has been that, without the solicitation upon the part of Menno M. Fry & Co , the underwriters have placed upon the building the lowest rate of in- surance that has been placed upon any leaf tobacco warehouse in Lancaster county. One of the well known leaf packers in this county is S. N. Mumma, of Landis- ville, who has spent his life in farming and in handling tobacco, having gained, therefore, a wide and thoroughly practi- cal experience. Mr. Mumma is well equipped with warehouse facilities, lo- cated directly at the railroad crossing at Landisville, in a very commodious struc- ture. Mr. Mumma, of course, packs principally Pennsylvania tobacco, mak- ing a specialty of seed leaf B's, and it may be well worth the while of leaf dealers to remember this fact. Aside from his tobacco interests, Mr. Mumma is also a director of the Mt Joy National Bank and a member of thej local School Board, and in many ways he is among the most prominent citizens of the county. John A. Peebles, who has been in Lan- caster for many years, having been formerly connected with the Dilworth Cigar Co., and later being manager of the S. L. Jones Cigar Co., of Lancaster, retired from that business, after its trans- fer to the Johns-Brash Cigar Co. Mr. Emil Brash is now permanently located in Lancaster. Mr. Brash formerly con- ducted the Imperial Cigar Factory, ope- rated by M. Brilles & Co., at Pittsburg, which was sold to the United States Ci- gar Co., and later transferred to the American Stogie Co., Mr. Brash being located in New York for some months. He will be personally in charge of the manufacturing operations of the Johns- Brash Cigar Co. , recently organized. Herman Stem, the South Prince street stogie monufacturer, is now operating a force of sixty-five hands. Mr. Stein has lately been doing quite an extensive lear tobacco business also, and has packed about 300 cases of last year's crops. — The cigar manufactory of Crew & Koons, Auburn, Ind., has been closed by virtue of a chattel mortgage held by E. M. Bishop, given in April, 1900. The stock of cigars and the office fixtures were sold on July 28. Leaf Tobacco Markets. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. Some inquiry has been reported for fillers, tops and seconds, the three poor- est grades. Well, it is better so than no call at all, those three grades being of an inferior quality, and not sweat so much as wrappers of any of the grades. They can be moved with less damage to the goods. The other grades will, no doubt, be sought after by September, for every pound will be wanted in due course of time, either for the home consumption or for the export trade. I hope that it may prove good enough to be made into cigars at home. It is a pity to see a crop of which we do not raise a surplus, need, ing to be sold abroad. Our correspondents write: I Conway, Mass.: "The tobacco has grown very fast the last week. Some pieces were getting quite dry, but we have had a lovely rain on the nights of July 23 and 24, so now there is no reason why it will not jump right along. Quite a little tobacco was topped last week and none will be topped this week." North Hatfield: -Tobacco is doing nicely now, and topping is the order of the day." — American Cultivator. J. H.

An occasional crop straggles in from country hands to market and a few packers are still en- gaged in handling their purchases but generally speaking matters are extremely quiet. Riding has about ceased in the growing districts and transactions are few and far between. The market for old stock partakes of the same dullness that pervades the eastern centres, though a small trade con- tinues with the manufacturers. The new crop in the southern growing counties needs rain — needs it badly in some localities as well as other crops, all of which show the pinching effects of the drouth. Reports reach us that the western portion of the state has been more favored and the tobacco is looking finely and very forward. Shipments, 500 cases. — Reporter. and as stocks are being steadily reduced in the British warehouses, there will be a shortage next year. The crop in the fields has grown well under the repeated rains, but the quality to be produced remains doubtful. To- bacco is not a good wet weather crop.

The quality was mainly from Medium Leaf down: Spinning Leaf continues in very small supply, and the demands being eager, prices are kept up to the recent advances. The lower grades of full bodied Leaf were stronger last week; this advance is held, and the brighter sorts this week share the advance. Low and common Lugs were irregularly ^^c lower. Shipments are going out freely both South and East. The British Chancellor has cut the increased tax on Strips in half, making the increase i^^d instead of 3d, half justice. Retroactive legisla- tion used to be considered illegal. The reduction in the increase of duty places Strips in better position, still further bet- tered by the large sales of unshipped Strips to American manufacturers, largely reducing the exports of this year, HOPKINSVILLE, KY. M. D. Boales. The market rules active at the low prices it is selling, especially Common and Medium grades as well as Lugs being low in prices. Quality is generally good, and but few samples show bad order. Altogether it is much better than expected when the hot weather came on. Sweating is about passed.

TyjANY CIGAR DEALERS are of an inventive turn of mind and of mechanical skill, and nothing would be a more pleasant pastime for them on some dull summer afternoon than to build some unique decoration for the store. Those having the "knack" of construct ing things are sure to understand the fol- lowing description of a novel pipe rack, which not only can be built at little cost but would prove an ornament to the store that would quickly attract the attention of the customer. The rack in question can be built in any size or shape accord- ing to the option of the dealer and the amount of wall space he has to spare for it In fact the racks might be made un- usually gorgeous in their decorations, to be sold jto present seekers during the coming holidays. On a wooden panel, say 6x12 inches, eleven leather straps each 5 >^ inches long and ^ inch wide are fastened one-half inch apart with brass- headed tacks, one in each end and one in the centre. Then two long strips of leather, longer than the board and three- fourths of an inch wide, are threaded alternately over and under these straps in basket fashion, thus forming a series of loops, in each of which a pipe is placed. When all are filled, the loops are adjusted so as to fit closely over the stems of the pipes, and the ends of the long strips are carried around to the back of the panel and there firmly tacked ; after which the surplus, if there is any, is cut off. A brass headed tack at each point where one of the eleven vertical straps crosses over a horizontal one will hold the loops permanently in position, so that the pipes can be- taken out and replaced without disarranging them. In case the pipe bowls are all of a large size, weaving the straps under three and over one will give the necessary space between the loops. Of course, the maker with the most artistic taste will achieve the greatest re suits. His scope of material is almost unlimited. The panel may be of cedar, mahogany, teak or any ornamental wood, or white wood stained to harmonize with the furnishings of the room it is to adorn. It may be polished or plain, carved, in- laid o r decorated with paintings or I pyrography. The straps can be of cha- mois, kid, patent leather, harness leather, or even of silk, or gold braid ; while for tassels, fringed kid or chamois, strings of gold or colored beads, silk cord and gold thread are equally effective. TO CLEAN MEERSCHAUMS. member when there were campaigns ! OOME of the cigar stores in the busy OETAILERS are frequently asked by i withont the campaign cigar, and it is in section of a large city like Philadel- dainty customers the best way to { the records of the D.

The government to this day does not object to purchasing from the box that has already had its contents fingered by the general run of customers. Anent this subject one prominent retailer says hekeeps some eighty "private" boxes on know the difference between cigars and his shelves, and at least one half of those been used to remove all dust by means of j campaign cigars, and goes on collecting who use them have been steady custo- a soft brush.

Some of these should remain on the bowl, rubbing the surface of the pipe even with a silk handkerchief would be apt to produce scratches. Sometimes there are smuts or marks upon the meerschaum which cannot be removed by dry wiping, and in such cases it may be necessary to give them a careful washing with a soft sponge and a small quantity of soap and water. In such cases extreme care should be taken not to allow any of the water to reach the inside of the pipe or it will be prac- tically ruined. As soon as the washing is completed the meerschaum should be quickly wiped dry and polished with a silk handkerchief. • • • THE CAMPAIGN CIGAR.. Strange Political Device. Said to be Intended for Smoking. 'pHE SUMMER DULLNESS in the real cigars. This is said to be because the experts of the different departments do not co-operate with each other, and thus give the government the immediate wisdom of their joint knowledge. Some day the Bureau of Fumigation for Immi- grants' Soiled Luggage, the Commission for the Prevention of Fires in the Forest Reserve and other Vegetable Fibres, and the Board to Erect a Monument to Henry Clay, will all get together and advise with the Internal Revenue Bureau, and then there will be no more stamping of boxes containing campaign cigars. Since the craze for bands and coupons started, the politicians have not been idle with their brains, and in this coming campaign a good many campaign cigars will be banded; "If I am elected Select- customers are satisfied with cheap or medium priced cigars. When they come in, they take as many as they want, pay for them and go away so quickly and quietly that a bystander is unable to no- tice what has been bought or how much was paid. Patrons of this sort give trou- ble, but are well worth cultivating be- cause of their regular, methodical habits. As soon as they find out their ideas are respected and carried out, they are sat- isfied to remain regular customers, and may send some of their friends and ac- quaintances to the store. The sensitiveness of a customer want- ing cigars from his own box back on the shelf may seem odd, but it is no more so than that of the man who wants his own private shaving cup and razor at a man, return loo of these bands and get l barber shop. The dealer having such three days' work on the roads; or 200 of I customers can distinguish the boxes by these bands and get three days' work for cigar trade has been as pronounced ' "'''" *"** team.

Already operating a large number of stores, they are steadily branching out, and the intention is to locate one mem- ber of the firm in New York and another in Chicago, from which central points large interests will be managed.

The Last Week in July Shows a Revival in the Havana Tobacco Market An Ad. vance in Prices is Confidently Looked For— -Trade News of the Week. As correctly surmised, the transactions in the Havana market for the week end- ing July 30 show a considerable increase over the previous one, therefore business has been quite fair. Prices are un- changed, although some dealers prefer to keep their goods rather than accept low offers made for them by the present buy- ers in town. The local cigarette manu- facturers have made further extensive purchases at somewhat higher figures than last year, thus indicating that their stocks cannot be of any importance to last them any length of time, and that they are already obliged to work the new crop. While there may be enough to- bacco to go around, the chances are in favor of a rise before long, owing to the active competition prevailing here amongst the different factories. Good fillers of Vuelta Abajo do not promise to be too abundant, as it seems there is a shortage of Partido leaf on such grades, which is bound to make itself felt later on. Wrappers of good, clean, light col- ors have been in great demand, and there is no surplus to carry over. The Reme- dios which has come to market so far seems to consist of partly yellow and light leaf, while there is some very choice, heai'y bodied tobacco fit for the United States and o f ideal character. The question is only what the proportion! of the two kinds may be ? Some dealers might be willing to sell the uncurcd part at comparatively low figures at present, but if they have to stand the shrinkage until December i, the chances are that prices will then be correspondingly higher, particularly as the whole crop is short in quantity, so if there is any de- mand at all buyers will have^to be^pre- pared to concede good figures ior other- wise do without it. For Europe some low grades have been taken fully 50 per cent higher than at this time last year. Sales amounted to 7,850 bales in^jall, or^4, 130 of Vuelta Abajo, 2,960^ of JPartido, and 760 of Remedies. United States buyers have taken 3,740. local factories 3,000, and European buyers i,iio]bales. Havana, August i, 1904. Bayers Come and Go. Arrivals: — Laureano Sanchez, of L. Sanchez & Co. . P.

Havana Ciaar Mnnufactnrers A slight improvement in the majority of the independent factories is beginning to be noticeable from all directions, ex- cepting the United States. However, it is almost safe to say that after the second half of this month the demand will also increase from this quarter, and thence- forward a steady increase in the orders will manifest itself, the same as every year. H. Upmann & Co. purchased, 700 bales more of Vuelta Abajo of the best sections during the last two weeks for the use of their factory, while they shipped 400,000 cigars last week. The Partagas factory keeps up its ac- tivity notwithstanding the interruption caused temporarily by its removal to 174 Industria street Sol is working with increased forces upon good orders. Crepusculo has finally secured the coveted largest factory, where it can seat from 1. 000 to 1,500 cigarmakers and is turning out from 35,000 to 40,000 cigars per day. Ramon Allones is also one ofithe'fac- tories which is feeling the quickened im- pulse of trade. El Rico Habano reports good orders from all directions.

Santaella secured 2,000 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido while here, through Manuel Suarez of the firm of Mendelsohn, Bornemann & Co. Bruno Diaz & Co disposed of 500 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido leaf of their amous escojidas. Fritz Lederer, of Heinrich Neuberger, Bremen, has been looking over our market in Havana, as well as going to the country, and made some big pur- chases. Although he has been here only a short time, he has understood how to gain the confidence and esteem of the whole trade through his swift and sure way of tackling any problem that pre sented itself to him. Muniz Hnos. y Co. closed some 450 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios to various buyers. Don Hilario Muniz has just returned from the Vuelta Abajo after a prolonged tour through all the different sections, where he purchased 550 bales additional of the finest vegas. Jorge & P. Castaneda sold 400 bales of their excellent Tumbadero packing. P. F. Carcaba is receiving from 100 to 150 bales weekly of the farms of Fran- Cisco Iturvey, of San Juan and Martinez, besides about 50 bales every eight days from Pilotos, lowland section, of the farms of Lorenzo Sanchez, which are known by the name of " Papelillo. " Gonzalez, Benitez & Co, disposed of 400 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido, as well as new Remedios. Perfecto Garcia, who leaves today for Chicago, bought during his late trip to the Vuelta Abajo 300 bales of San Luis, of which he will ship 150 bales this week. As Don Perfecto is a judge of fine to- bacco, it goeswithout saying that he must selected have the most aromatic vegas. Jose F. Rocha closed out 350 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Mendelsohn, Bornemann & Co. are stripping now with full forces — 20 bales daily. Aixala & Co. turned over 350 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Tumbadero. Sol Hamburger is still hard at work, picking up only such goods as are suita- ble for his firm of Hamburger Bros., New York, and which are bound to find a ready sale. He has bought some 400 bales so far of Vuelta Abajo, Tumbadero and Remedios. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez sold 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Partido and Re- medios. Miguel Perez is receiving some very fine vegas o f Vuelta Abajo, lowland section. Jose Menendez disposed of 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. Suarez Hnos. have now an excellent selection of first class factory vegas from the lowland section of the Vuelta Abajo for sale. Anto Suarez closed out 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo this past week. G. Salomon y Hnos. shipped and sold 180 bales of Vuelta Abajo to the North and local factories. Rabell, Costa & Co. turned over 1 50 bales of Vuelta Abajo to their customers. Grau, Planas & Co. report sales of 1 50 bales of Remedios. Joaquin Hedesa left on Saturday for a trip to Key West, after having previously disposed of some 60 sample bales of his escojida to different customers. During his absence his brother, Don Ricardo, and Don Alfredo Valdes, the buyer in the country and foreman of the escojida, are ready to sell out of their packing at moderate prices to any prospective buyer. The completed bales are of a fine appear- ance, light in color and unexceptional in burn. Receipts From the Coantry Week Ending Since July 30. Jan. 1. J. F. ROCHA & CO.

Triumphantly Enter* the Forest City — A War in Prospect/ Cleveland, Aug. 6, 1904. The United iCigar Stores Co. has at [ last gained a foothold in Cleveland, and some active competition is expected by Clevelandites, It is generally con- ceded that a portion of Julius Deutsch's drug store at Euclid avenue and Sheriff street has been leased for that purpose at a rental of $7,500 per year, which is considered a large price for the space secured. Independent dealers are not specially alarmed at the dawn of trust stores, yet they are watching every move with ab- sorbing interest, and are of the opinion that it will mean a bitter war on all j dealers who do not use trust goods largely : It is also believed to be a direct attack ! upon one particular firm here which is 1 operating several stores.

On August 4 the United States Treas- ury Department sent out a notification to collectors of customs that the amount of the internal revenue tax levied by the Cuban government upon cigars, cigarettes and tobacco when collected for home consumption and remitted upon exporta- tion must be added to the invoice values in determining the dutiable value of such goods entering the United States. The Cuban internal revenue taxes are as follows: (a) Each thousand cigars for export, the weight of which exceeds three pounds, will paygi; (b) each thousand cigarettes, not weighing more than two pounds, for export will pay 10 cents; (c) each thousand cigars for home consump. tion and weighing more than three pounds will pay |2;(d) one-third of a cent on each package of sixteen ciga- rettes, or 21 cents for each thousand cig arettes; (e) each package of cut tobacco will pay 6 cents per pound. The letter of the department says : "The taxes referred to in paragraphs or subdivisions A, B and E are not, how- ever, by reason of a special provision of law relative thereto, to be collected until such time as the redemption of the Cuban loan shall begin or the collection thereof is made necessary in order to meet the interest upon such loan. It therefore appears that at the present time a tax of $2 for each thousand upon cigars weigh- ' ing more than three pounds per thousand I is collected in the event that such cigars be not exported and remitted upon on exportation thereof, and that a tax of 21c for each thousand cigarettes is also col- lected in the event of the home consump- tion of cigarettes. "Under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in U. S. vs. Rassavant, and also the decisions of the Board of General Appraisers, the amount of such taxes so collected for home con. sumption and remitted upon exportation should be added to the invoice values in I determining the dutiable value of such cigars and cigarettes. You will be gov- erned accordingly." BOVGHT DENBO <& HASKIN'S STOCK. J. W. Lee, of Baldwinsville, N. Y., bought the stock of tobacco of the bank- rupt firm of Dembo & Haskins, of Syra- cuse, sold last week by Deputy SheriflTI Bently. The petition, an involuntary ' one, was just filed against the tobacco | firm, and it is under stipulation that the ' sale is allowed at this time. The liabil- 1 ities are placed at about $20,000. ' TOBACCO COUPONS DECLAR.ED LAWFUL. The law passed by the New York Legislature at its last session regulating the issue of trading stamps and attaching a penalty for violation of the act was de- clared unconstitutional by Supreme Court Justice Nash, at Rochester, on August 4. The justice declared that it is the settled law of this state that it is not within the power of the legislature to suppress or regulate the issuing or sale of trading stamps. The opinion was rendered in the case of Edward Appel, a cigar dealer, who was arrested for selling a cigar and a package of tobacco, accompanied with tobacco coupons which did not have a redeemable cash value printed upon their face as required by the trading stamp law. HAIL STORM IN LANCASTER. Lancaster, Aug. 9, 1904. Several sections of this county were visited early yesterday morning by a hail storm of considerable severity, but which was fortunately confined to a narrow path. Growers in the vicinity of Ma- rietta, Maytown and Mt Joy fared the worst. On the farm of Dr. H. M. Alex- ander, where last season an experimental station was conducted, the tobacco was badly cut and the damage will amount to considerable. SALES OF COUNCELLOR AND EMAN- UEL IN OHIO. Youngstown, O , Aug. 6, 1904. An important change in the handhng of the well known cigars "Councellor," and '• Emanuel," made by A. R. Cress- man s Sons, of Sellersville, Pa., was an- nounced a few days ago. Joseph Gal- lagher. representing the manufacturers, states that in the future the cigars will be shipped direct, and that the business would be in charge of John J. O'Connor. Heretofore jobbers had charge, and the change that has been made here will take place generally. In Youngstown and all territory tributary the goods had been in the hands o f t h e John H. Fitsch Company. COOPER. OPPOSES SUIT. Frederick A. Cooper, tobacco dealer of Albany. N. Y., who was made the de- fendantin bankruptcy proceedings byS. R. Moss, of Uncaster, Pa., and other creditors, has filed an answer in the Bankruptcy Court and he will oppose Mr. Moss's suit. Moss was a creditor for about 1 18, 000 and in his answer Cooper states that above the value of the securities which Moss holds to secure payment of the amount his claim is not sufficient to force the defendant into the Bankruptcy Court. Another creditor was Hannah Sommers who owns the store occupied by Cooper. Cooper holds that her claim is not a proper one, as he has paid all rents due her. according to the lease between them. The matter will be considered by Judge Ray of the Bank. ruptcy Court. « t C. A. ROST & CO., All Grades of Leaf Tobacco, RED LIOJJ, PA.

In the cigarette label case of William T. Strauss against Phillip Morris & Co., Limited, Magistrate Ommen yesterday handed down a decision holding the de- fendants for trial. They were paroled in custody of counsel H. B. Heath. Phillip Morris & Co. was an English firm, having agents in this country. An American company was organized under the same name, and became aliRliated with the foreign house. The American company, making cigarettes in this coun- try, continued to use the same labels as the English company. The word "Eng- land" was also retained. Magistrate Ommen sustained the complainants' con- tention that such use of the woid violated section 438 of the Penal Code, referring to false descriptions on labels. He held that the word "England" was no part of the original name or label, but was placed there to answer the requirement of the customs laws that such articles must bear the name of the country in which they are manufactured. • • • Henry Leonard, a cigar dealer at 461 Broadway, has filed a petition in bank- ruptcy with liabilities of $2,140, and nominal assets of #572, consisting of ci gars on hand, $300; cigars in hand of an agency, |26o:cash, $9, and insurance rebate, $3.

E. M. Schwarz & Co. who some months ago opened a cigar factory in the building formerly occupied by the M. J. Portuondo Co., are evidently well pleased with the venture, for it has been learned from an authoritative source that they will shortly occupy larger quarters, and that it is their intention to increase their Philadelphia working force to 500 hands. Several buildings are held under consid- eration, but no definite conclusion has yet been arrived at On July 30th the employes of this factory were given an excursion to At- lantic City. A. S. Valentine & Son continue to verify the statement that this summer's cigar season is by no means a dull one. One order from a large Western city last week aggregated nearly 100,000 cigars of the firm's various brands. Valentines import a great deal of their own Havana leaf tobacco. They received a consign- ment of 50 bales from New York during the week. George Valentine spent part of last week in New York City. Roy Valentine expects to take a long trip West this fall, during which time he will stop to visit the World's Fair at St Louis. President Geo. E. Spots, of the Theo- bald & Oppenheimer Co. ,is continuing a western trip with his old time effective- ness, and the factory is enjoying the busiest summer season it ever experi- enced. J. A. Rigby, of this company, is on from Mansfield, O., and will in all probability remain during the month of August. Several of their traveling men are covering their respective territories, including W. S. Dennis in the West; Ed. Marshall in the South, while John T. Dee is sojourning in Europe. Further encouraging news has been received in this city regarding the health of Richard T. Gumpert of Gumpert Bros. .cigar manufacturers, who has been ill at Antwerp. Mr. Gumpert has safely arrived at Nauheim, the German health resort, and reports that he is well enough to stay the trip out before starting back to America on August 30. Henry Heil- bronner, of this firm, starts this week on his regular Southern trip, going as far as Texas. He expects to find business un- usually good this fall. S.

Frishmuth Bros. & Co. expect to be able to enter their mammoth new tobacco factory at Seventeenth street and Lehigh avenue the first of September.

Among the Trade in Reading What Some of the Manufacturers Are Doing in Mid-Summer. Reading, Pa., Aug. 8, 1904. On Tuesday last Bremer Bros. & Boehm, at Fifth and Washington streets, closed the sale of their leaf business here to the American Leaf Tobacco Co , Inc., of which Mr. S. L. Johns, of McSherrys- town, is president. Bremer Bros., con- templated such a step only after the death of Mr. Boehm. The new proprietors will enter into an active campaign, with a large stock and complete assortment, and will be represented by a force of ag- gressive salesmen. Business is a little quiet with Yocum Bros, just now, and they propose to close down for a week. John G. Spatz & Co. are at present among the busier factories, and recently added to their working force. Mr. Spatz, who has been recently on a western trip, is now industriously looking after factory details in making up and shipping goods as per numerous orders booked by hini when on his last trip. During the past week I called on F. H. Beltz, of Schwencksville, who is one of the most active manufacturers in that section. He recently placed on the market a new brand of cigars under the title of American Cup, which he claims is a full Havana filled and Sumatra wrapped cigar, selling at a nickel retail. A bona fide guarantee goes with every box. In a very short time a good demand for these goods has been created. Mr. Beltz started the business some eight years ago, and advanced steadily, until today he has one of the most commodious moderate sized factories, and has built up a wide acquaintance and a very de- sirable patronage. He attributes his sue- cess entirely to his untiring efforts to maintain a standard of the higher quality. ) Hirscbhorn, Mack & Co. j Straiton & Storm^ K hichtenstein Bros. Co.

Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 8, 1904. The leaf tobacco market continues to improve a little each week, and more important sales are being made. During the past ten days the 1901 goods have come in for a considerably better share of attention, and several good sized lots have changed hands. Groff & Rowland, packers at New Holland, have sold a packing of 390 cases. M. M. Fry & Co. also made one im- portant sale of several hundred cases of 1 90 1 and 1903 goods. There is a grow- ing inquiry for 1903 leaf, but only a small portion has so far been sampled. The weather continues to be most favorable to the growing crop, which is making good progress. Considerable topping has already been done. Cigar manufacturers are not complain- ing so very much, yet they still feel the effects of a dull season, and the revenue reports show how much the trade has suflTered during the past seven months. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, the cigar output of this district was 759.947.700, as against 778, 169,755 dur- ing the previous year, showing a decrease of 18,322,055 this year, the greater portion of which occurred during the past six months. Yet in the month of June some progress was made, which helped to reduce the amount of the with the previous year. In June, 1904* our output was 67,751,590, and in June, 1903, It was only 67 014,010, showing a gain during that month as compared with the year before of 737,580, and I notice that our district still maintains its reputation of being the largest cigar pro- ducing district in the country, the June output having been over 8,000,000 more in the Ninth Pennsylvania than in the Third New York, which comes second in point of production. In manufactured tobacco this district has also done itself proud, having to its credit a total production of 529,373 pounds during the fiscal year ending June 30, which was an increase of 55,343 pounds over the previous year. During the month of June alone there was pro- duced 49.704 pounds, or, 7,389 pounds more than in June of the year before. There is one tobacco factory at York that has contributed considerably to the in- creased output in this district during the past few years. G. H. Sachs opened a cigar factory at 409 W. Walnut street, recently, and is now about ready to place his goods on the market. He has been ptominently identified with the trade for many years, and for a long time was manager of the J. H. Bibo factory here. He will put up a line of fine goods only, in the nickel and 10 cent variety, and has every pros- pect of building up a satisfactory tiade. He is also to be congratulated upon securing the low No. of 7, for his factory.

Albany, I ackersOfLlAfTobacc iGAMC uyooo EesdiDg, WwHiHcnwwiif GreatFather Despite the Dullness in the July Trade, a Good Fall Business is Expected. York, Pa., Aug. 8, 1904. Although having to admit that the cigar trade during the month of July was not as good as last year, our manufac- turers are not only not discouraged, but on the contrary they have full confidence of a possibly early and active fall busi- ness. The leaf men are having a little more inquiry for goods, and consequently they, too, are entertaining better hopes of an early resumption in business activities. T. D. Hene, representing Wedeles Bros., of Chicago, was a recent visitor in this section, showing a general line of leaf tobacco, but specializing their pack- ings of Florida Sumatra. He was highly enthusiastic in regard to their holdings, and stated to your correspondent that the crop now being housed was, he be- lieved, the finest ever raised. He has had a good trade in this section. The acreage of tobacco in this county this year is estimated to be about 30 per cent less than last year. One of the finest crops in this vicinity is that of I. B. Hostetter, which he is raising on Duffy's Island, but not under cover this year. It grew quite rapidly and was topped some weeks ago, and in all prob ability will mature very early. J. A. Mayer & Bros., of West York, have had a steady run of business this year through their force of traveling representatives, and have opened a good number of desirable new accounts. Geo. A. Kohler has just returned from a successful business trip through the Southwest, covering Texas in particular. At Craleyville, this county, the business is rather quiet, with the exception of H. S. Shelly who makes mostly pouch goods, and is said to have more orders than he can fill John Shindler, of Red Lion, has moved into his new cigar factory which was lately completed. At Hanover there is a fair trade, some few having about all the orders that can be well cared for. A. F. Hostetter has not felt any falling off in trade whatever, but has worked steadily with a full force. The Keystone Variety Works, who are printers of embossed cigar ribbons, caution notices, edgings, etc., have a large trade with the cigar manufacturers, and it sometimes keeps manager Brand, staedter guessing as to how to manage to get all orders out promptly. It is about the only house in this section making a specialty of that class of work. H. A. Snyder, of Littlestown, is now employing a force of twelve cigarmakers, and has a considerable number of orders ahead, on both 5 and 10 cent goods. M. Gephart operates a factory near Littlestown, which was started not so very long ago, and is quietly building up a trade in moderate priced goods. —The cigar factory of Clayton Raab, at Farmington, la. , was recently destroyed by fire, causing a loss of ^2,000, mostly on the stock of leaf tobacco.

Leaf Tobacco Markets. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. The past week has been one of hurry up to the growing crop of tobacco, and an observer watching the fields during the week would feel inclined to wonder whether any other crop raised by the farmer makes such rapid growth as to- bacco. I am inclined to think that the plants have doubled in size and weight during the last week. The growth has been rapid and in the right direction ; for the plants are large and stocky, and when the time comes to strip, it may ap- pear that for the past ten years we have not had a crop that would strip off more pounds of good tobacco than the present crop promises to yield. Just what the quality will be, it is, perhaps, too early to predict, but the indications point to a nice, fine, good- colored leaf, and a sound one, too. The growing crop looks a dark green, and there is a fair prospect of its maturing all right When you meet a farmer and ask, "How is your tobacco coming on ? ' he begins to smile that smile of satisfaction that always comes with a good thing, and the answer is, in- variably: "My tobacco is looking fine. I never had a crop do any better in my life." These crops are on a sandy soil, but where the land is a little heavy, the water has left its mark upon it But there are very few such fields of tobacco. The water-logged soil is a small amount compared with the good. We hear of a few who will commence cutting this week, and more who are to begin the first of next week; pretty early to begin, but 1 will venture the opinion that what is cut this week will be out of the sweat and ready to work about Christmas. Well, let us hope the growers will have good weather for the coming season, plenty of warm weather with a little, if any, of damp, foggy mornings.

The stock is largely light and brown colors, in good condition, well suited for manufacturing plug, smoking and twist tobacco. The growing crop needs rain.

TXTHY should not some enterprising retailer get up a window display that would be at once attractive for its mystery of "perpetual motion," and call it 'The Dancing Cigars"? The idea is not only a feasible one but could be gotten up at a remarkably low cost. All that is wanted is an electric fan blower and a number of long strips of tissue paper. The average cigar store, of course, already has the cigars it wants to be dis- played. After decorating the back of your window with some suitable color that will be in a strong contrast with your paper streamers, paste one end of the ribbons equidistant apart to the ceil- ing of the bulk window, so that the other ends will hang down within a foot of the floor of the same. Then roll the cigars, (or cigarettes) in the lower ends of the paper. Roll at the middle of the cigars so as to keep them balanced. An inch or two of the paper, which should be at least one inch wide, is enough. Then paste with a good mucilage, to keep the cigars in place and and from rolling out. Put your revolving brass fan well up to- ward the ceiling on a shelf in one end of tensively and to educate the public to the j her. Around the chamber were stacked superior quality of the goods made by the great numbers of bags filled with curious many independent factories, also to com bat and prevent further inroads by the Trust. It is proposed to advertise the event extensively and to have public lectures, also to hold a mass meeting at which prominent speakers of both political par ties will make addresses, the ante-elec- tion date being selected solely with that end in view. To defray expenses incidental to the occasion, the halls have been divided into uniform sections and will be rented for the week at I75 for each space. We appeal to you to make an exhibit on this occasion ; we believe it will be to your advantage to place your productions before the people of Philadelphia and vicinity, who number about 2,000,000, who have never failed to patronize any event of this kind. Furthermore, we solicit any communi- cation or address you may want to pub- lish in connection with the above object and to aid our cause in general, which we believe is also yours. We would thank you to favor us with a reply as early as possible, as our space is limited to about 100 exhibitors. Thanking you in advance for whatever ' The LouisieLneL assistance you may render us, 1 remain Yours very truly, J. E. Tuck, President. • • • dried leaves. From the leaves proceeded the delicious fragrance. "These leaves were tobacco. Once a year, the giant explained, all the spirits came to the mountain for the purpose of smoking this exquisite leaf. But it was not possible to give any of it away. "Nevertheless, Manabozo watched for an opportunity, and snatching up one of the bags, fled, closely pursued by the giant The thief leaped from peak to peak, but the giant followed so fast as to finally overtake him. So Manabozo tnrned upon him, and, upbraiding him for his stinginess, transformed him into a grasshopper. • • That is the reason why the grasshop- per is always chewing tobacco. Mana- bozo took the bagful of leaves and dis- tributed them among his friends, the an- cestors of the Indians of today. Since then they have had the use and enjoy- ment of the plant." • • • NON-NICOTINE CIGARS. TDETAILER RUNGE. of Front and Market streets, is handling quite a the window.

The jury will consist of i , 400 men ; appointment of women is not encouraged. This number, of course, includes the al- lotment allowed to foieign countries, etc., the accepted rule being one member to each fifty exhibitors. Very naturally the exhibitors in the Central Tobacco Exhibit are very anxious to know who out of that number will be selected to pass upon their exhibits for premiums or medals. The Pennsylvania Cigar Manufacturers' Exhibit, which consists of 604 samples, will surely receive some of the medals to be awarded, and the managers of this ex- hibit are on the lookout that they receive fair and proper recognition. At the solicitation of the Commissioners of the Philippine Reservation, a branch of the Pennsylvania Cigar Manufacturers' Exhibit is to be placed at the main en- trance for the accommodation of the large crowds gathering in that vicinity, and several other locations have also been offered them for retailing their cigars. That is in itself quite a notable compli- ment to their products. At the retailing department of this exhibit they are counting on some benefit from an in- creased number of visitors which will no doubt be attracted to the Agricultural Building when the new stock barns, etc, are completed. About 800 or 900 work- men are grading the building grounds, which are to be finished on the 22d inst The stock bams will accommodate 3,000 head of stock. Weather conditions here have been most agreeable, and those who remained away, in fear of the heat, have missed it. The grounds are in perfect condition, with flowers blooming in beautiful array. The Central Tobacco Exhibit seems to be gaining in its powers of attraction, one of the particular attractions being the plug tobacco making machine of Harvey & Outerbridgc. This machine, it is stated, does a large amount of work per- fectly, and is not more than one tenth the cost of some other machines for the same purpose. It is in full operation, the demonstrations being conducted by Mr. Montgomery-. S. L. Etter, who is connected with the Pennsylvania Cigar Manufacturers' Ex- hibit, has returned to York. Pa., for a few days, to attend to some personal business. In the meantime his place is being filled by J. B. Nagle, Secretary of the Winget Manufacturing Co., which company has charge of the Pennsylvania Cigar Manufacturers' Exhibit. The number of visitors from the cigar and tobacco trade is getting larger each day. The more recent visitors included : G. W. Gable, of Windsor; C. S. Gable, of York; Fred Smith, of Red Lion; Fred Schleagel, of Columbia; C. M. Vetter, of Reading; H. C. Glissinger and M. Schenkel, of East Greenville; J. G. C. Sheets and Sam Katz, of York, and R. F.

Box 98 FAIRLY ACTIVM IN THB HAVANA LEAF MARKET Trade Considered Satisfactory for the Season — An Advance Expected in the Price of Choice Leaf — Notes Gathered in the Factories and Among the Dealers. The Havana market during the past week has exhibited a fair amount of activity, and while no extra large trans- actions have taken place many smaller deals were put through, so that the ag- gregate is satisfactory considering the season of the year. So called factory vegas of Vuelta Abajo and Partidos aie still in good demand and principally sought after, while there also continues a fair call for colas of Vuelta Abajo on the part of the cigarette manufacturers. Buyers for the European market are looking for low priced goods, chiefly for Germany. While the 1904 crop, gener- ally speaking, is of a good, acceptable quality and has a high aroma, there is, however, like every year, a certain pro- portion of less desirable leaf which will have to be sold at low figures, while all choice goods will be wanted, and the tendency of such grades is bound to favor a rise in the not distant future, if a judgment is permissible by the receipts which have reached the Havana market up to now. It is quite safe to say that the farmers have sold out their holdings to the dealers and local cigar manufac- turers, and what is still held by the farmers is either held at exorbitant figures or else consists of undesirable classes. This month will be devoted to the preparing of seedbeds in the wooded hilly parts for the coming 1905 crop. Sales amounted to 5,561 bales in all, or 2,540 of Vuelta Abajo, 2.198 Partido, and 823 bales of Remedios. The United States purchased 3,237, local manufacturers i,- 415, and European buyers 909 bales. Bayers Come and Go. Arrivals: Emil Wedeles, of Wedeles Bros., and H.

HaTana Clirar Manufactarera There is no decided change for the better yet to be reported in the majority of the factories, although the demand is bound to become stronger ere long. Some of the exclusive Vuelta Abajo fac- tories of the independents are still hesi tating to work the new leaf, while the Trust and the Partido manufacturers are using the new wrappers. Germany is calling for fair quantities, London is be- ginning to order, as well as Canada, and the South American Republics and Aus- tralia, while the demand for the United States is still the smallest in volume. The Partagas factory of Cif uentes, Fer- nandez & Co. is quite busy, turning out 30,000 to 35,000 cigars per day for Ger- many, London, Australia and the United States. Owing to the light temprano growth of the famous "Santiago Plasencia" Vega of San Luis this firm has already been enabled to use the 1904 crop. H. Upmann & Co., Sol, Ramon Al- lones, Crepusculo, El Rico Habano, and La Mas Fermosa are working with full forces. Bayliiff, Selling and Other Note* of Interest. B.

Aixala <& Co. sold 694 bales of V^uelta Abajo and Partido during the past week. Sol Hamburger has added 600 bales more of all kinds of leaf to his recent purchases. Loeb-Nunez Havana Co, disposed and shipped 612 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Part- ido and Remedios. Jose Menendez turned over 350 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios.

Tumba- deio and Remedios, and which he ob- tained at the right prices. Muniz Hnos. & Co. closed out 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios. Emil Wedeles has been buying largely of choice, aromatic Vuelta Abajo vegas, which are bound to please the customers of the firm of Wedeles Bros. , Chicago. Suarez Hnos. sold 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo to local and Northern buyers. H. Barron has selected some very fine Vuelta Abajo vegas for the factory of Barron Bros. , Chicago. Jorge & P. Castaneda turned over 250 bales of their fine Tumbadero packings. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez are selling tobaccos every day more or less, but, for reason*^ best known to themselves, they refused to state the exact amount today. It is no secret, however, that they have sold a fairly large quantity during the past eight days, and as the tobacco has been seen to be carted away, it is quite safe to say that they must have done an extensive business. Fritz Lederer has been indefatigable in scouring the market, and he has in- creased the holdings of Heinrich Neu« berger, Bremen, to a large extent, and getting the cream of what is to be had. Antonio Suarez disposed of 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido to local and Northern buyers. Garcia & Co. have been purchasing a few more vegas in the Vuelta Abajo dur- ing the late trip of Don Manuel Garcia to that section, and while the exact quan- tity is not known it is estimated that this firm has added from 1,000 to 1,500 bales more of the best vegas from the lowland section to their large holdings. While they are adverse to publishing any sales, your representative saw several hundred bales ready for shipment when he called. Bruno Diaz & Co. closed out 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. A. Pazos & Co. have received 200 bales more from the \'uelta Abajo on ac- count of the recent purchases made by their buyer, Don Ramon Rodriguez, which are all from the best lowland sections. Jose F. Rocha turned over 200 bales of his Vuelta Abajo holdings to local factories. Ernest Ellinger has been seen in the market registering several vegas of to- bacco. Rodriguez.

Local packers report a continued in- quiry for the 1903 tobacco, some of which has been sampled, and the work will pro- gress even more rapidly in the next few weeks. Anent the damage by hail last week» it is learned that its e.\tent was even smaller than at first supposed, and was confined almest wholely to Rapho and Elizabeth townships, and in a streak be- tween Brickerville in this county and Schaefferstown in Lebanon county, some tobacco fields were badly injured. Some of the Havana tabacco has been cut and handed into the drying sheds, while the seed leaf is still making progress in the fields. In old goods there has been comparatively little dealing, as the stock is already so nearly sold out that much could not be expected, except pos- sibly in 1 90 1 goods. Charles H. Welchans, formerly a prominent tobacco man, died last Sun- day a week ago, after suffering for some months with a chronic stomach trouble which it is believed was aggravated by the heat. He was only 34 years of age, and born and raised in Lancaster. After leaving the Lancaster High School Mr. Welchans secured a position as clerk in the office of John D.Skiles, a leaf tobacco packer, and continued in that capacity for several years, at which time a part- nership was formed between Mr. Bruno Diaz R.

Harrison Fauth, a t Delroy, is also working with a full force, and makes a specialty of what they call "Crooks," which he is shipping largely through New York State. The Yorkana Cigar Co., at Yorkana, is getting out several new brands of goods which will be placed on the market in the early fall, and they are fairly well supplied with orders at present. At Dallastown some of the manufac- turers say they could comfortably handle a little more business than they have in hand. They don't seem at all discour- aged, but on the contrary they feel fully confident of an early and good fall trade. It is an assured fact that Dallastown will have a large new factory as soon as it can be erected, for which purpose con- tracts have been entered into and the ground secured, as stated in last week's letter.

President J. E. Tuck, of the Retail Ci- gar and Tobacco Dealers' Association, has returned to this city after a week's stay at Atlantic City. He reports that quite a number of communications have already been received from prospective exhibitors at the Tobacco Exposition which will be held in Philadelphia be- ginning October 17. He expressed the opinion that the number of applications will likely exceed the list of spaces to be allotted the exhibitors. If this should be the case, a hall large enough to ac- commodate all the exhibitors will be en- gaged. The calculation made thus far by the committee on exhibition provides for 10,000 square feet of floor space for 100 exhibitors. With Manufacturers and Jobbers. SPECIAL NOTICES.

After the first attack in this city, he took a trip to New York, where he again became ill. On his return to this city he was obliged to take a rest for several days. The Valentines expect a visit from a few of their large Western distributors this week. While here the Western cigarmen will be their guests. Mr Marsden, the Atlantic City handler of Valentines' cigars, reports a good business despite the prevailing dull sea- son at the seashore. The Key West fac- tory has again been increased in size, and is succeeding beyond expectations. S. W. Levine. representing the Vicente Portuondo Cigar Manufacturing Company of this city, started from New York on an extensive Western trip during the week. Harry Jacoby, another representative of the company, is now in California. T. R. Goodwin, who was manager under Vicente Portuondo for the old concern before its recent reorganization and in- corporation, is now representative for Maine and Massachusetts. He has found a good trade in that section and is sending in plenty of orders. Business continues to be very good with the Vicente Portuondo Cigar Manufacturing Company. H. B. Grauley, cigar manufacturer, found it necessary during the past week to put on fifty more cigarmakers at the Souderton factory, in consequence of an unusually busy season. The Golden Rule and the Lord Caspar are the princi- pal cigars made at that factory. The former is Mr. Grauley's leading five cent cigar and besides commanding a good city trade, is largely sought after by other cities. All of the old stock has been sold out, and, to catch up with the orders, the increased force of cigarmakers became necessary. The Lord Caspar is a com- paratively new cigar, scarcely six months old.

Fleck & Co.'s store, at Fourth and Sansom streets, is putting out quite a quantity of La Remedios, Encore and Kovana cigars. The high grade goods handled are Pedro Murias y Ca's im- ported, and Manuel Garcia's Alonzo cigars. J. H. Haydes, of the Juan F. Portu- ondo Cigar Manufacturing Company, took a brief vacation at Atlantic City. Secretary Sig. C. Mayer, of Morris D. Neumann & Co., took a short trip to the South. Morris D. Neumann has re- turned from his Western trip much pleased with the business outlook. T. B. Berry, President of the Berry- Suhling Tobacco Company, at Bedford City, Va., was in this city during the past week. J. Gonzales, of Twenty- fourth and Callowhill streets, is manufacturing a fine line of handmade cigars, for which there is constant call from his customers in the neighborhood. J. Harvey McHenry, with Arthur Hagen & Co., has returned from a vaca- tion trip into the country. Lcctf DesLlers* Jottings* The leaf tobacco houses of the city re ported, with few exceptions, an unusually dull week. Buusiness at times seemed to be at a stand still, the monotony being relieved by an occasional order. " Hol- idays" and "dog days" were reasons advanced for the calm, but many are confident that the fall trade is not far distant. L. P. Kimmig & Co. were an excep- tion to the rule. Business there was re- ported to be steady and good. Orders were fair, some amounting to fifty case lots in different tobaccos. The 1902 crop continues to be their best seller. Sales* man Konnold is out through the State and is sending in his regular orders. Benjamin Labe, of B. Labe & Sons, may not return from Europe this year, as was recently announced. Unless he is soon heard from the conclusion will be reached that he intends to stay until the Amsterdam inscriptions begin early in September, and continue making heavy purchases of Sumatra. Should he arrive in Philadelphia this month, it is likely he would soon embark again for Europ>e, after a brief visit to his relatives. John R. Young, of Young & Newman, leaf dealers, returned this week from his vacation trip to South Worthington, Massachusetts. E. A. Calves & Co. report a fair busi- ness. Salesman Mantinez is doing well up the State; Meyers is in Boston, while Mr. Hirschey finds a fair trade in Balti- more and vicinity. John Staun. a well known leaf tobacco dealer of Cincinnati, accompanied oy broker M. Eisenbise, also of Cincinnati, were visitors in the Philadelphia leaf market this week. M.

Ephrata, Pa. «ioods Sold Direct to JOBBERS and DEALERS CLEVELAND'S CIGARETTE CRUSADE Assistant County Prosecutor Snider, of Cleveland, 0., has entered upon a vigor- ous crusade against cigarette selling to minors. Although he has worked indus- triously for a month past, he has thus far not been able to discover anyone guilty of the "terrible crime. " Speaking of the matter recently, he said : "The thing to do. of course, is to find the men who sell these cigarettes to the boys. They are the guilty ones, and they ought to be punished. It is very hard, however, to discover these offenders. The boys whom you find on the streets smoking these cigarettes, will not tell how they procured them. Usually they will say that they did not buy them anywhere, but that they were given to them by some man. In order to procure a conviction in a case t)f cigarette selling to minors it is practically necessary to catch the dealer in the act. There are a number of dealers in town who are very shrewd in this matter. They sell the cigarettes to some young man who comes in the store and buys several boxes of them. He then takes them outside and gives them to the young boys waiting outside, who have already entrusted to him the moneg with which he makes the pur- chase. Although, as I have said, it is difficult to catch guilty dealers in the act, those who are violating the law will be punished, for we intend to follow up this matter. Selling cigarettes to minors is a terrible crime.and it must be stopped. ' CONTINENTALS NEW PLANTS. The .Maysville (Ky.) Warehouse Co. is erecting buildings on the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio, at Maysville, at a cost of $50,000. The plant has been leased to the Continental Tobacco Co., but its intended use has not been stated. It is estimated that it will take over $25,. 000 to equip it after the buildings are completed. The buildings are to be nearly 500 feet long, about 250 feet wide. The Continental Tobacco Co. will build a new 125,000 warehouse at 31st and Walnut streets, Louisville, Ky. The plans were completed and the contract let last week by C. E. Halliwell, Vice President; R. B. Dual and R. K. Smith, of New York, who were in Louisville for that purpose. The work will begin at once, and the house will be in readiness to receive the fall crop of the Kentucky fields. The warehouse will be four sto- ries high, and the ground on which it will be built is already owned by the Continental. The house will measure 91 by 364 feet, costing about 125,000. DAMAGE APPRAISED AT $4,000. All the damaged tobacco in the recent fire at L. B. Carle & Son's warehouse at Janesville, Wis., has been taken over by the insurance companies, who will settle with the firm, at the appraised value fixed by the adjusters — something over l4,ooo. The insurance companies will then attempt to realize something from the salvage, leaving the Carles nothing but clean stock and their loss fully in« demnified.

New York, Aug. 15. — Attorney General Robert H. McCarter, of New Jersey, as counsel for the Universal Tobacco Co., made an application to Vice-Chancellor Stevenson in Jersey City today for an or- der directing the sale of the assets of the company. The petition presented by Mr. McCarter was signed by the trustees who were appointed by the court to form, ulate a plan for the dissolution of the company. The Court ordered that the sale should take place ten days after the date of send- ing out the notices, and said that in the order he would make he would direct that the sale be by separate lots and that the Commonwealth Tobacco Co. should stip- ulate that the sale should be absolute. The Commonwealth Company has been closely identified with the Universal Company. The Universal Company's assets include plants in New York and Richmond. Va.

THE TOBACCO WORLD as The Reason • STAK Stogies Satisfy the 10 cent smoker is that the tobacco used in their manu- facture is as carefullly blended as that used in high grade cigars. The saving is in cost of making. You are going to burn it anyway — why pay five times as much simply for ap- pearance. ^ ^ >: > iTj To verify the truth of this reasoning ysrill only cost you Ten Cents and may save you many dollars. Cigars of the same quality vary in price as much as ten cents apiece, owing to the difference in finish. "STAR" STOGIES cost more than other stogies because they are made of better tobacco; they cost less than ten cent cigars because of the difference in appearance.

Very little dam- age from green worms or grasshoppers. The earliest tobacco will be ready to cut by the last of the week; the late will be topped this week. " East Whately, Mass.: "Tobacco is looking fine. The plants arc broad and well set and making a large growth, and if no hail or heavy wind visits it the crop will be large." North Hatfield, Mass.: "Tobacco has made a phenomenal growth within the past two weeks and bids fair to be the largest and heaviest crop for the last ten years. There are a few low places here and there where the water did some damage, but the plants are now doing well where it was not killed out " L. M. Crump, Chicago: "After a ten- days trip through the tobacco fields of the Connecticut valley, I conclude that the prospects indicate a good crop. The acreage is nearly an average one. The plants have grown well and have a rigor- ous appearance. Hailstorms have worked great damage, but only in limited locali- ties." East Hartford, Ct: "The hailstorm of Monday morning is reported to have caused very serious damage in the middle Connecticut valley around Springfield. Loss in Westfield, Southwick, Agawam, Longwood, etc.. is placed at 1 100, 000 to 1150,000. Hundreds of acres were laid low and in most cases the leaves filled full of holes by hailstones. Much of the crop is reported so badly injured that the growers will plow it under. Fortunately, the path of the storm was only about two miles wide, and the damage, although very severe, was confined to a small area. * * — American Cultivator. EDGERTON, WIS.

The drouth over the southern growing sections was broken Tuesday by a copi- ous rain, and if followed by warm weather there is yet hope that the medium set fields will develop good tobacco. A late fall will be necessary to complete any- thing like a satisfactory crop. Tobacco is such a recuperative plant and matures so rapidly under favorable weather there is no telling at this date what the harvest will yet be. The situation is much more encouraging at this writing. Shipments, 500 cases. — Reporter. HOPKINSVILLE. KY. M. D. Boales.

During September and October she will canvas Illinois in company with Mrs. Femetta Sargent Haskell. After covering this state they will go to Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, and Ken- tucky, returning to Illinois at the time of the next Legislature, when they will endeavor to have en- acted a bill prohibiting both the sale and manu- facture of cigarettes in the state. :o: No Tobacco for Convicts. /QAUGHT SMUGGLING tobacco into the V^ Montgomery County prison at Norristown, Pa., by enclosing it in a stocking and throwing it over the high jail wall to the prisoners, Philip Farley, of Jenkintown, was fined ^100 by Burgess Bean, in default of which he will spend three months in jail. Farley had been released from prison only a few hours, after serving 30 days on the commit- ment of a Jenkintown Magistrate. To punish him for the breach of peace, which he considered a kindly act, the Burgess resurrected|a Blue Law, providing for the heavy fine. The prison rules forbid the use of tobacco in any form, and Warden Gotwals has been much annoyed lately by prison- ers being furnished tobacco in this way. :o;— — The Austrian Tobacco Monopoly. Tlie Business Enterprise of George W. Parr THE TOBACCO MONOPOLY yielded the Austrian Government the enormous net profit of $27,000,000 in 1902. Of the 40,445 persons employed, 35,824 were females; the number of factories was 30. The average wages of the male employes were only $2.80 a week; of the females, $2.08. Since 1875 tbe number of THE SUBJECT of this sketch is undoubtedly one of the best known cig^r manufacturers in Adams county, and his enterprise is one of the principal industries of Littlestown, where he has been operating for many years, affording employ- ment to about one hundred people. It is only recently that a new factory building was erected in order to more promptly meet the demand for his product, whiih has been steadily increasing from the beginning of the business. The new building, built of frame, is 80 by 32 feet in dimensions and contains three floors and base- ment, which are provided throughout with all facilities possibly obtainable, and from a hygenic standpoint it is regarded as a model estabUshment, Mr. Parr is exclusively a wholesale manufac- turer, making shipments only to the wholesale and Mr. GEORGE W. PARR. cigarette smokers has increased enormously, while of snuff takers there are only one-third as many now. The Connecticut Crop. TOBACCO GROWERS in the Connecticut belt assert that, barring any misfortune, such as further injury by hail, etc, their crop this year promises to be the best grown in twenty- five years. Harvesting has already begun, and some prospective buyers are making preliminary in- spections of the crop, and they are said to have agreed with the growers that indications at pre- sent are most favorable to producing an excellent crop. jobbing trade. His product is very largely in the line of five cent goods, for which he has secured an enviable reputation. His personal attention is constantly given to all of the more essential details, leaving his office work in charge of Mr. J. E. Hornburger. The success of this establishment is a thor- ough exemplification of the achievements that can be reached, but which are reached only by the close application of employers in personal super- vision of their business — proving the truth of the old maxim, "The eye of the master can do more work than both his hands. " Locally, Mr. Parr is recognized as one of the most public-spirited citizens in Littlestown. He gives his hearty support to every movement cal- culated to benefit the community, provided that such measures bear the earmarks of conservatism and seem to be well devised. His business knowl- edj;e and reputation are beyond question, and in consequence his judgment is keenly sought for on matters affecting the local public, regardless of political affiliation. E. A.

A prominent manufacturer of Philadelphia, the cigars of whose firm are handled in nearly every cigar store in this city, said the other day : "I am not given to reckless charity, but think it sometimes does one's conscience good to give aid in a sad and worthy case. I have quite a few callers of this and sat down beside a fat man in the smoking car. The fat man took a cigar from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Then he struck a match, but before he could make use of it Mr. Sturgis blew it out The fat man glared at the commis- sioner. But he said nothing. He lighted another match, regarding his companion closely as he did so. This time there could be no mistake.

'pHE MANCHESTER Cigar Manufac- turing Company, of Baltimore, Md., has been distributing among the trade of this city through F. B. Robertson, the Factory Representative, some very ap- propriate advertising matter for the bcne- :fit of the retail trade. I It consists of window bulletins printed leans.

YAHN & McDonnell, Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, this city, cater to a peculiar high class trade that will not go elsewhere for cigars, even if cir- cumstances seem to require it. One regular customer, who recently went to California, wrote to the Philadelphia house saying that he had run out of a certain line of their imported cigars and requested that several boxes be sent to Los Angeles at once. It is needless to say that the order was prompUy filled. Another order of similar character came from the backwoods of Vermont, and, in fact, they come from vacationists all over the country who are regular customers of Yahn & McDonnell when pursuing their business in this city. It shows that the habitual smoker of a good cigar will sel- dom accept a substitute for his favorite brand, but will often go to considerable trouble to secure the cigar that specially pleases his taste. .

ANOTHER INDIAN TOBACCO LEGEND. OUPPLEMENTARY to the Indian story of the origin of tobacco, told in this department last week, the follow- ing may be found interesting : "At some distant period two Indian youths pursuing the pleasures of the chase were led to a remote and unfre* quented part of the forest, where, being fatigued and hungry, they sat down to rest themselves and to dress their victuals. While they were thus employed the spirit of the woods, attracted as it is supposed by the unusual and savory smell of the venison, approached them in the form of a beautiful female and seated herself be- side them. The youths, awed by the presence of so superior a being and struck with gratitude for the condescension which she had showed them in becoming their guest, presented to her in the most respectful manner a share of their repast, which she was pleased to accept and upon which she regaled with seeming satisfaction. "The repast being finished, the female spirit, having thanked them cordially for their attention and informed them that if they would return to the same place after the revolution of twelve moons they would find something which would re- compense their kindness, disappeared from their sight. The youths, having watched the revolving moons and having returned at the appointed time, found that upon the place on which the right arm of the goddess had reclined an ear of Indian corn had sprung up, under her left a stalk of wheat, and from the spot on which she was seated was growing a flourishing plant of tobacco." • • • QUEENS WHO SMOKE. 'pHE CZARINA OF RUSSIA smokes cigarettes now and then, and on her desk there are always a couple of golden engraved cigarette cases, a silver ash tray, and a malachite match holder. The Queen of Italy seldom smokes, but the mother of the King of Spain con- sumes a large number of Egfyptian ciga- rettes every day. The ex- Queen Natalie of Servia owns a magnificently jeweled smoking outfit and is very partial to the habit The Queen of Roumania — Carmen Sylva — also owns a large number of gold and silver cigarette cases, but she does not like the aroma of tobacco. The Queen of Portugal, on the other hand, is an ardent lover of the weed. She pre- fers a special brand of German tobacco, which is sent to her at intervals from Dresden. Her mother, the Countess of Paris, occasionally indulges in a Havana cigarette or two. — Philadelphia Press. • • • NEW BOOK OF PREMIUMS.

Irontonian seems a possible chance of capturing a big en- terprise when it says: "Block Brothers, the well known to- bacco firm of Wheeling, manufacturers of the famous Mail Pouch tobacco, are seeking a new location and have made a proposition to a small town up the river to locate their big plant there if they are donated a site and good railroad connec- tions. No additional bonus is asked. This concern is the largest tobacco estab- lishment in the United States, employing about 1,500 people and would be a wel- come addition to a n y town. If the Business Men's Club has passed out of existence the Merchant Association of Ironton should get into touch with the tobacco people and direct their attention this way and it should be done at once." The Irontonian is perhaps not aware that Block Bros. Tobacco Co. is now erecting a n immense addition t o its already large building, with a view to meet the rapidly growing requirements, and that it is altogether unlikely that they should be seeking any change of location, after having spent the amount of a fortune in training their help to a high standard of proficiency.

Box 98 TOBACCO TRADE REPORTS FROM HAVANA. -General Belief that the Dullest Part of the Season Has Passed— Cigar Shipments for Seven Months— Extensive Plant Setting— General Commercial Notes. Business during the past week has again been more active, but this time the <:hief buyers were the local cigarette man- ufacturers, who have continued |to absorb all offerings of desirable goods of Vuelta Abajo colas, paying higher prices for the ^ame. The demand for the United States has not developed during the past eight days, but it is known that several deals are pending. For Europe the call is confined to low priced goods, and as the cigarette factories are willing to concede higher figures than the exporters can afford to pay, the demand is checked to some extent. The remaining vcgas in the Vuelta Abajo are bought up by the dealers here at better prices, thus demon- strating the faith of the latter that they will be wanted this winter by the Ameri- can manufacturers and dealers. Don Luis Marx, the most enterprising and progressive of our tobacco planters, has startled the community by having transplanted some 100,000 seedlings last week upon his "Zorilla" and "San Antonio •• farms, which is fully six weeks in advance of the earliest plantings which have been made in the Vuelta Abajo. Of course this is an experiment, and it is not likely that the same will be repeated here on a large scale, as the chances of success or failure can hardly] be said to be evenly balanced. The hot sun may dry up the young seedlings just planted, or excessive rain storns may wash them away. Besides, the theory has heretofore always been that the nico- tine plant in Cuba needs some cool weather to thicken up the sap in the leaves, although practice may demon- strate that this theory is not correct All people interested in tobacco culture are watching the above experiment with the utmost interest. If successful it may en- able Don Luis Marx to get three wrapper crops out of the soil during one season, as so far he has proven to the incredu- lous that it was possible to get two crops under favorable circumstances. All that is needed is plenty of manurej and not too unfavorable weather duing the^plant- ing season. That good seedlings can be raised with care during the whole I year, Havana, August 15, 1904. moie or less, was an easier problem to solve. In order to get two or three crops it is obvious that only one cut can be made from the plant, and the same has to be torn from the ground, the latter to be replowed and manured at once, so as to be able to receive the second or third seedlings. Under favorable circumstances Don Luis Marx could harvest the first growth in October, the second in De- cember to January, and the third in March of the following year. Sales amounted to 7.337 bales in all, or 4.576 of Vuelta Abajo, 1.61 1 of Partido and 1,150 bales of Remedios. The local cigar and cigarette manufacturers pur- chased 4,205, Northern buyers 1,850 and European exporters i ,282 bales. Barera Come and Go. Arrivals:— N. Gestal. of Lozano Gestal & Co., Tampa.

H«Tana Clarar Manufactnrera There is still complaint heard amongst the exclusive Vuelta Abajo manufacturers that the leaf is not yet in condition to be worked as freely as they would like to do, thus preventing them from filling orders on hand and which are beginning to come in in larger volume. The exports per steamer Morro Castle show however that the dullest part of the season has passed away, as 4.270,692 cigars were shipped. Up to July 31, 120,987,398 cigars have been exported since January 1, 1904, an increase of 8,831,954 cigars over the exports of the same time last year, or nearly 8 pjr cent While there is a steady call from the United States, and most factories have orders pending for weekly shipments, the latter are how- ever confined to some of our largest fac- tories, and the business for the coming fall trade upon a larger scale hasinot n ESTABLISHED 1844 I H.

Bnrlutt* Selling and Other Notes of lutereat. H. Barron, who left on the New Or- leans boat for his home in Chicago, has been a purchaser of 225 bales of choice Vuelta Abajo vegas for his firm of Barron Bros. Fernando Fernandez y Hno., sold 870 bales Vuelta Abajo and Partido tobaccos to local and northern manufacturers, as well as to European exporters. This house has now a stock on hand of about 5,000 bales mostly of the best sections of the Vuelta Abajo "tierra liana," besides a good selection of Semi Vuelta and Tumbadero factory tobaccos from their own escojidas. Amongst the Vuelta Abajo purchases made by them are such renowned vegas as Domingo Plasencia, "La Llanda de San Luis," Viuda de Saavedra de San Luis, Pinata de San Luis, Domingo Martinez de Barbacoas, and many other well known vegas from Rio Hondo and Rio Seco, bought by the universally esteemed buyer, Don Jose de la Puente, who is a recognized authority on Vuelta Abajo tobaccos. Sol Hamburger left very well satisfied with his midsummer purchasing trip to the Eldorado of tobacco buyers, and has taken about i,3oo bales of all kinds of leaf for his firm of Hamburger Bros. & Co. As Don Sol knows what his custom- ers want, and bein^ an old timer in Ha> vana, there is no doubt that his firm will dispose of his purchases in short order, so that he can come here again in two or three months, to lay in a fresh supply. Sobrinos de Antero Gonzalez have been doing a very good business during the past week. They were averse to giving any details of the amount of bales dis- posed of, but good authorities claim that the number cannot be short of 1,500 bales. The sellers of most importance have been Aixala & Co. , 506 bales. Jose F. Rocha, 500 bales. G. Salomon y Hno., 400 bales. Suarez Hnos., 400 bales. Miguel Perez, 400 bales. Bruno Diaz & Co.. 300 bales. Jose Menendez, 200 bales. A. Pazos & Co., 155 bales. Rabell, Costa & Co., 100 bales. Antonio Suarez, 100 bales. Rodriguez Bautista & Co. have made a contract with one of our large cigarette manufactoiin to deliver to them all the colas from their Vuelta Abajo escojidas and vegas, amounting to about 2,000 bales. A. Pazos & Co. have secured about 300 bales additional through their buyers in the Vuelta Abajo from the "tierra liana" section only, and they are also holding some very fine Tumbadero wrappers of their own escojida. Sobrinos de Venancio Diaz purchased through Don Narciso Gonzalez three fine vegas of "Pilotes" lowland, which ought to please any manufacturer. The sales made by this house were also withheld, but competent parties say they were fully 300 bales. Buyers still in the market are Fritz Lederer, Ernest EUinger. E. A. Kline and Emil Wedeles, who have all oper- ated more or less, besides the new arrivals last week. Max Stem has gone to the Remedios section to study thoroughly the situation there. Commission houses which are busy in the market comprise Leslie Pan tin. F. Neumann & Co. . Bridat, Mont'Ros & Co. and Charles Blasco. Receipts From tbe Coantry Week Ending Since Jan Aug. 13.

SAYS GAINES.* Representative John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, is again in Washington. He has been engaged for four or five months in his campaign against the tobacco trust, which he says has managed to stifle the competition that formerly existed in the purchase of the black tobacco that is so largely grown in Tennessee and Ken- tucky. Speaking of the matter, he said: •• Eighty.fi ve per cent of that class of tobacco is exported. The American to- bacco trust now controls the Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain, and, in fact, controls the tobacco trade of the world. By this combination there has been an agreement that the American company shall not take part in the pur chase of that class of tobacco, so that the only buyer is the Imperial company. "Instead of scores of bidders for that tobacco that we once had. there is now only one bidder. The result is the to- bacco that costs 6 cents per pound to raise is selling for 3;^ cents per pound. One plantation in Tennessee of 1.500 acres on which this tobacco was exclu .'ively raised has stopped all its opera tions. Others are curtailing the amount they are raising. Bankruptcy is staring these men in the face. The skilled labor once engaged in this industry is now scattered.

The influx of out of town buyers to the New York leaf market has been steadily increasing for two weeks past, making the market exceedingly active for all available classes of goods. The princi- pal transactions, however, have been in Connecticut tobacco, a large quantity of which has changed hands. The rapid transpiration of events in the seed leaf market has naturally detracted from the imported lines, but for the time being only, and Sumatra is now getting its share of attention, especially in view of the apparent shortage of domestic wrap per leaf. This impetus in Sumatra is being felt by nearly every importing hou.«e here. Havana remains quiet. • • • H. Duys, of H. Duys & Co. branch of the AmsterdamscheTabakshandel Maat- chappy, returned to their New York headquarters last week on the steamer Staatendam, and was accompanied by Messrs. Carl G. Olie and Carl G. Olie, Jr., the former of whom is a director of the Amsterdam Company. They will make their headquarters at the office of H. Duys & Co., 170 Water street, during their stay here. Mr. Duys reports hav- ing purchased about 3.000 bales of to- bacco during his stay in Holland, a con- siderable portion of which has already arrived here. H.

Cura Henry Hollander, for several years a salesman with A. Cohn & Co., but who during the past few years was engaged in the leaf brokerage business, died last week, aged 58 years. He was very pop- ular in the leaf trade, and had a wide circle of friends. • • • At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the New York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, held last week, sevetal resolutions were adopted : First That the Secretary be instructed to send a letter to Attorney S. H. Gug- genheimer, expressing the thanks of the organization for the able manner in _ which he conducted the case against the I to con!^mIttie"for furtherT^JIderltion! Florodora Tag Co. and also to express the Association's appreciation of his untiring zeal in bringing the matter toja successful conclusion. Second — That all cigar manufacturers carrying a leaf tobacco dealer's license are eligible to membership in the body, and were cordially invited to join the organU. zation. • • • A regular monthly meeting of the Re^ tail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers' Associa. tion of New York, was held last Tuesday evening at association headquarters, 705 Third avenue. President Donigan informed the mem. bers present that upon conclusion oli stock taking it had been ascertained that^ the Association was on " easy street * ' and had made a very substantial progress. The gentlemen of the committee hav- ing in charge the arranging for the gen- eral meeting with members of various allied branches of the trade are making good progress and feel confident of hav- ing a large attendance upon the occasion and also of having several eloquent speakers to discuss the more important phases of trade interests. The advisability of seeking to have re- tail cigar and tobacco dealers specially taxed came in for a considerable discus- sion, led by Robert E. Lane, who has been expounding the idea vigorously, and it seems that he is finding some ad- herents to his theories. Sidney J. Freeman, chairman of the Insurance Committee, gave a brief out- line of that proposition, which was to the extent of providing a death benefit of $500, a sick benefit of I5 per week, and an emergency fund for use on certain occasions and under ceruin circum- stances, and he showed that the plan could be started with a membership of 25, intimating that it might possibly grow to national proportions. Some objections were raised to the idea of too much ex- pansion to the insurance feature, the con- sensus of opinion being in favor pf limit- mg its operations to members of the association, and the report was referred NEW FLAVORING AND EXTRACT HOUSE. On another page of this week's issue will be found an announcement of the Keystone Chemical Co., of York, Pa., producers of "Havana Aroma ' a new product for cigar manufacturers' use. They also have various kinds of cigar and tobacco flavoring, sweeteners, etc The company only recently perfected some of its products, and now makes its first public announcement It will be noticed that they offer to send as a trial order a half pint phial of their "Havana Aroma" for 50 cents, in order to intro- duce the goods. Among the proprietors of the! Keystone Chemical Co. are men widely I experienced in the handling of tobacco as manufacturers, and who are fully aware|;of the many difficulties in successfully manipulating leaf tobacco to give the most satisfactory results. It is reasonable to believe that they propose to give their patrons the largest possible measure of benefit of their experience and acquired knowledge. —It is stated that the plant of the Manufacturers' Tobacco Company at Louisville. Ky., now owned by the Con- tinental Tobacco Company, will be dis- mantled and that a large force of travel- ing representatives, operatives and cler- ical employes will be discharged. —The stock and fixtures of Edward G. Fuchs. a tobacconist at 360 Elm street, Buffalo, N. Y., has been sold by the trustee of the bankrupt estate, to L F.

There were more interesting develop- ments during the week in the local im- broglio between the representatives of the American Tobacco Company and the handlers of independent goods. Pushing their war against the independent manu- facturers a step further than ever, the American Tobacco Co. cut off future sup- plies from several of the largest jobbers in Philadelphia, thereby causing a storm of indignation among the votaries of the independent cause. These jobbers, it is said, had received independent goods after July i, the date fixed when no more consignments were to be taken by the dealers who wished to handle Ameri can Tobacco Co. goods. Another im- portant development was the perfecting of an arrangement whereby the United News Company, which has its offices at Thirteenth and Filbert streets, will handle a number of independent- made tobacco goods exclusively and deliver them to cigar stores. The United News Company will also handle a general line of the independent goods. The names of three jobbers who are supposed to have received notice that they can no longer be supplied with American Tobacco Co. goods, were prominently mentioned, but several more are said to have been blacklisted for sim- ilar offensive methods, but when called upon by a representative of The Tobacco World, they were most reticent, and would neither admit or deny the state- ments made in local dailies. It is stated, however, that these job- bers can be reinstated by suffering the heavy penalty of losing all extra rebates, and purchasing a quantity of American Co. goods, during September, equal in amount to the purchase of the largest month of the present year, and sign- ing an ironclad agreement to discontinue selling independent goods of the cut plug, fine cut and long cut class. It is said, however, that C. W. Taney, a general agent of the American Tobacco Co., visited Philadelphia a week ago, armed with credentials signed by Mr. Duke, president of the company. These credentials gave Taney power to decide finally in the case of any recalcitrant jobber that came before his notice, but at the same time withheld from him the power to listen to an appeal or to recom- mend a delay of action. The jobbers, it is said, were found selling independent goods bearing the revenue stamps issued July I, which are a lighter green in color than the old ones. Mr. Taney notified the three jobbers that no more goods of the American Tobacco Co. would be furnished them unless they found themselves prepared to enter upon the new ironclad agreement The statement that independent goods in jobbers' hands, manufactured since July I, had been traced by the color of the present series of revenue stampss, is misleading, because the lighter green color now used on i fj oz. tobacco stamps has been used longer than since July i, in fact in some districts since April last, and as evidence that fact is not wholly reliable, and the only reliable proof would seem to lie in the date of cancellation. The hand the United News Company will take in the local war between the ••trust" and "independent" people will be seen in the following interview given The Tobacco World by Manager Frank M. Toppin: ••This company has become a distri- butor of the independent lines of tobaccos and 1 think it can readily be seen that we can do the retailers a great deal of good. For instance, we have 38 de livery wagons that rush the two leading newspapers all over the city early in the morning. Orders can be filled promptly and we have 2, 800 accounts on our books with people handling cigars and tobacco We are in a better position to help the jobbers to put up a good fight for their independence in this city than any other concern. "We have already accomplished a great deal John Landstreet, President of the Patterson Tobacco Co., of Rich- mond, Va. , was here the other day to get us to represent his house. The Patterson Tobacco Co. gets out the Lucky Strike tobacco, the biggest seller in the market outside of some of the "trust" brands. Mr. Landstreet says he will have built for us four new wagons to add to our present service. These will be handsome affairs and will no doubt contain the Lucky Strike advertisement "Larus& Bro. Company, also of Rich- mond, Va., have made us their distribu- tors, the following brands being handled exclusively by us: Meadow Brook, twist Fatty Felix chewing. United cut plug, and Unco smoking mixture. The United cut plug takes the place on Larus' list of the Brotherhood tobacco, which they made for Gustav Hoch & Son. The latter, it is said, recently sold out that brand to the American Tobacco Co. , and. of course. Larus & Bro. Company no longer make it The United will be pushed in opposition to Brotherhood. • 'Weisert Bros. , independent manufac- turers of St Louis, have also opened their accounts with us as distributors. We have six extra men out this week canvassing the cigar and tobacco retailers of Philadelphia on the question of hand- ing these independent goods, and are hearing good reports from them right along. " Business manager Toppin, of the United News Co., has been fairly over- run this week by representatives of numerous houses making all classes of goods, and all apparently anxious to secure accounts with the new company. OTTO H. EISENLOHR VISITS MR. GUMPERT AT NANHEIM. Otto H. Eisenlohr, of O. Eisenlohr & Bros., cigar manufacturers « f this city, who has been traveling in Switzerland, has gone to Nanheim, the German health resort to join Richaid T. Gumpert, of Gumpert Bros., also of Philadelphia, who has been quite ill there. Mr. Eisenlohr wrote to his brother in this city from St Moritz. Switzerland, that he intended to make the trip to see his old friend and companion. A letter was since received at Gumpert Bros*, office stating that Mr Gumpert is gaining strength slowly at Nanheim, and has not required a trained nurse, his principal caretaker being Mrs Gumpert. who, although an invalid herself, pos- sesses great fortitude. Mr. Gumpert intended to sail for this country on August 30, on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. but as he will require a longer time to fully recuperate, his tickets have been changed so that the voyage can be begun on the Kronland on September 16. more than two weeks later. GELLER'S NEW BRAND OF PLUG CUT. J. G. Geller, Sons & Co. have put on the market a new cut plug, called "Cre- ation," strictly an "independent" piece of goods, and it is already meeting with a large demand in the eastern part of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It is done up in tin foil, has a dark red label and is intended for smoking or chewing. It will be introduced into a larger terri- tory. Gellers are getting ready for an advertising campaign of their " Peachy" cut plug, which also contains their own label. They are handling the " Mixit" smoking tobacco, recently brought out by the Falk Tobacco Co. of Richmond and New York. This company was formed of two former employes of Cam- eron & Cameron, of Richmond — a sales- man and a factory foreman. Cameron & Cameron were bought out by the American Tobacco Co., and the Falk Co.. an independent concern, is turning out a three color tobacco, similar to that of the old firm. Gellers are selling out an old stock of Cameron & Cameron smoking tobacco at cost with the announcement that that house "has sold out to the trust KORS HELD FOR COURT. that time. The factory being vacated is not a small one. comprising some 46,000 square feet It is proposed to sell or rent the present buildings as soon as they are vacated, as the tobacco manu- facturing firm will have no further use for them. The buildings may be divided for the use of a number of tenants. With Manufacturers and Jobbers. Chas. H. Kors, secretary of the Vi- cente Portuondo Cigar Manufacturing Co., and manager of the Philadelphia Sewing Machine Co., was last week held in $1,000 bail for court by Justice Barr, in Camden, N. J., on a charge of swind- ling the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma- chine Co., of this city. • Mrs. Lizzie Kean, who was recently held in bail on a similar charge, is said to be implicated with Kors. She was once an agent of the complainant com- pany. According to the complainant Kors induced Mrs. Kean to procure from her employer sewing machines on fictitious orders. In most of the sales only one payment was made on the machines, and it is claimed that these machines were turned over to Kors. who is alleged to have sold them. T. & O. FACTORIES' BIG MONTH. The present month has thus far proven to be the greatest in the history of the Theobald & Oppenheimer Co. Its busi- ness has shown an increase by a large percentage over that of August, 1904. The new brand of cigars of the T. & O. factories, styled the Flor de Romulus, and turned out by the Tampa factory, is being taken hold of by some of the largest distributors. President George E. Spotz has returned from his successful western trip and assumed charge of the offices. J. A Rigby, on Mr. Spotz's re- turn, went back to Mansfield, Ohio. The new factory at Perkasie, Pa , is now be- ing constructed, and. it is thought, will be ready on Oct i, when 250 hands will be put to work, if they can be obtained. , DOM INGUEZ BROS, embarrassed' Manuel Dominguez, trading as Domin- 1 guez Bros., cigar manufacturers at Twen- 1 ty-first street and Fairmount avenue, is j financially embarrassed. His difficulty was reported early last week, but its ex- i act extent was not fully known until some days later, owing to the absence of Mr. 1 Dominguez. who is ill in Havana, Cuba. ' The total indebtedness of the firm is \ about $40,000, of which $22,000 is for merchandise, confined chiefly to three Philadelphia houses and one in Havana, Cuba, and $18,000 due to banks. The assets are not fully known, but will in- clude several pieces of real estate, subject to some encumbrances. "GREEN GOOSE " IS MOVING. Frishmuth Bros. & Co. started during the week to move from their old offices j and factory on North Third street to their mammoth new factory at Seventeenth street and Allegheny avenue. The trans- , fer of all books, appurtenances and ma- 1 chinery will be made gradually, as active | business has to be continued during the moving. Frishmuths expect to take pos- session of the new factory by the first of September, but it is thought that all of Che machinery cannot be transferred by The present dull season fails to strike the establishment of Otto H. Eisenlohr & Bros. The firm announces that be- tween July I and August 10 this year their business has been 42 per cent greater than that of the corresponding period of last year. This astonishing increase has been all the more gratifying because the firm has been constantly able to secure additional hands to put at work at their various factories. Local and contiguous trade has been very good. A few Dig orders coming from a distance, it has been impossible to fill, owing to the rush of business. Louis Eisenlohr contemplates an extensive trip to the West this fall Otto H. Eisenlohr is in Europe, and Charles Eislenohr is cruis- ing in Long Island Sound on his yacht "Colma." George Valentine, of A S. Valentine & Son, spent the best part of the last week at Atlantic City, in company with J. H. McPike, of Bennett Sloan & Co., jobbers of New York City. The pair re- turned to this city where some visiting 6f the trade was done before Mr. McPike returned to New York. Mr. McPike, it will be remembered, recently won a case in the New York Court of Appeals, in which it was decided that it was not un lawful to use the American flag on a cigar box label. The label in question was that of the Betsy Ross cigar, which brand is manufactured by the Valentines in this city. The business at the cigar factories of A S. Valentine & Son shows an increase of 40 per cent over that of the same period last year. The factories are now taking on all of the additional hands that can be obtained. The El Draco Cigar Manufacturing Company has brought out a brand of ci- gars to be known as the Subway Tavern, to be used in the famous tavern in New York with which Bishop Potter's name has been so much associated lately. The new cigars are on exhibition at the store of C. J. Wogan. Tenth street above Chestnut in this city. E. G. Dunlap, representing Arguelles, Lopez & Bro. , of New York and Tampa, stopped in town during the week to finish his vacation and pay an informal visit to a number of local jobbing houses. He then went to New York to report for duty at headquarters. Philip Verplanck, representing Gon- zales, Mora tS: Co. , of Chicago and Tampa, made Philadelphia his first stopping place this week while on his regular fall trip. He then went on to the South and West Jacob Kronar. representing F. Garcia, Bro. & Co., was in town paying his re- spects to the local trade, as were Charles Cameron, of the Waldorf-Astoria Segar Company, and E. W. Russell, who is at the head of the Havana Tobacco Co. J. M. Coan. with L Dausa & Co., of New York, has written from New Eng- land to a prominent local cigar dealer, saying that he shortly expects to visit Philadelphia. Mr. Coan adds that he is finding a big demand for his Porto Rico cigars in the East N. J. Rice, representing R. & W. Jenkinson Co. , of Pittsburg, paid a brief visit to his Philadelphia friends during this week. The Vicente Portuondo Cigar Manu- facturing Co. is already getting in big orders on the fall trade from its salesmen, S. W. Levine is in Michigan, Henry Jacoby In California, J. Merrill in New York, T. R. Goodwin in New England, and A. M. Diehl in Pennsylvania. 14 For Genuine Sawed Cedar Cigar Boxes^ go to Betawished isso L. J. Sellers & Son.

York county tobacco growers were somewhat affected this week by hail storms, but the damage done is compar- atively small. I. B. Hostetter, of this city, last week visited the Connecticut tobacco growing sections and speaks very encouragingly of their crop. He says if it can be housed before further damage by hail the crop will, in his opinion, prove a very good one. The number of new cigar factory li- censes taken out this month in this division of the Ninth District is compar- atively small so far, but that is usually the case in August D. G. Eyster, a cigar manufacturer of York New Salem, who brings cigars to town for shipment almost daily, met with an accident last week. A horse driven by a Mr. Pfaltzgraff was scared by a passing automobile, and becoming un- manageable, dashed into Mr. Eyster* s team, throwing him out He was con- siderably bruised, but fortunately no bones were broken.

Lancaster had a fairly active market last week, with sales easily aggregating 2,000 cases. While the 1903 is in good demand, the 1901 goods are also com- ing to the front, and it is argued on every side the 1901 was an averagingly good crop, but for some reason it got a black eye, and many dealers held aloof, but the shortage in leaf is forcing it on their at- tention in a measure, and they are now beginning to look at the goods with more favor. The weather conditions have been favorable to the growing crop, which is making excellent progress, and is in fact now being housed as rapidly as possible. Several devastating hail storms have visited Lancaster county inflicting severe damage over a rather large area. Several tobacco barns have been burned to the ground by lightning, and a large quanity of leaf utterly destroyed. A Kleinfeltersvilie dispatch says: — "Hundreds interested in tobacco growing visit the farm of Henry Barkholder, in Cocalico township, Lancaster county, to witness the novel government experiment of raising tobacco under covering. The stalks are touching the covering nine feet above the ground, and many of the leaves are 25 and 27 inches in length and from 15 to 16 inches broad. The experiment is being made with several kinds of tobacco, includmg Sumatra, Cuban and Havana seed, and about one- third of an acre is under cover. The Havana is only about four feet high, but the leaves are large, of firm texture, dark green in color and very glossy. " Ex-Sheriff Andrew H. Hershey, of the leaf tobacco packing firm of A. H. Hershey & Co. , has been disparaged by a local daily paper alleging unscrupulous conduct in office as sheriff of the county several years ago. In the leaf trade ex- Sheriff Hershey is widely and favorably known, and his numerous friends here all regard it as an unjustified and wanton attack inspired by over zealous newspa- per men. Three men named respectively Harry Weaver, Amos Minnick and Lemon Keller, were held for trial at court by Squire Glass, of Ephrata, on the charge of robbing the cigar factor)' of M, Kin- ports at Ephrata. One of the men was , formerly employed at that factory. H. Stein, the South Prince street sto- gie manufacturer, has returned from a several days business trip to Philadel- phia and vicinity. John Slater & Co. report orders com- ing in very satisfactorily, and every de- partment of their large plant is filled with workmen. The Inland City Cigar Box Co. report a steady run of orders, which indicates a general improvement with cigar man- ufacturers in this section. John Zudrell, of Ephrata, expects this week to break ground for a new cigar factory. He has quite an active trade, 1 JOHH ZUDREliLi I Manufacturer of i "a, Cigars foS. ^^*^ jf* \ 1 Genuine Union Made. UN V y \ J Ephrata, Pa. <^oods Sold Direct to JOBBERS and DEALERS.

Hail Damage in Berks, Some Injury in the Southwestern Part of the County Last Wednesday — Notes of the Trade. Reading, Pa., August 22, 1904. As was reported last week the com- paratively small acreage of tobacco which is being grown in this county had escaped damage from the several severe storms passing through here recently, but on Wednesday last, at which time we were visited by the most severe storm experi. enced in years, the tobacco growing in the southwestern section of the county was somewhat affected, although not seriously. The acreage this year is larger than it ever was before, wiih every indication of a successful crop. The cigar industry in this section is quite good. That is to say, the larger factories are nearly all well filled with orders, and only a few smaller ones are complaining. In the vicinity of Womels- dorf, Newmanstown, and Richland the trade is also very fair. Among the city factories there is none that has had a more uniform business this year than John G. Spatz & Co., who are in receipt of some large western orders. The Fleck Cigar Co. has been working steadily on its old lines. J. G. Hansen will place a new product on the market early this fall There are signs of steady progress at the factory of E. E. Kahler, on West Buttonwood street Lengel & Ernst contemplate bringing legal action on an imitation of their Tulpehocken loc cigar. A similar pack- age is said to be on the market, contain- ing goods retailing at 5c. C. M. Yetter has returned from his Western trip, which included a visit to St. Louis, where he has an exhibit of his goods. He is well satisfied with trade conditions. G. H.

Without stretching the matter at all, you can say the tobacco crop, as a whole, is simply immense, and you will hit the nail square on the head. The seedleaf in this vicinity shows a tendency to rust a little. I hear some fields have rusted a little, but the axe was laid at the roots before the damage was sufficient to esti mate. Mr. Smith Briggs, of North Hat- field, has a fine field of some two acres, measurements of some of the leaves be- ing forty- two and forty- four inches long, and a width in proportion, well above two feet in height It is a beautiful field to look at Not much broad leaf is raised here this year, the crop being mostly Havana. A good proportion of the farmers are harvesting their crop, some having cut as high as 8 or 10 acres, others only trying to get the hang of the schoolhouse, so as to start in with the new week. Much of the early set will be the absorbing topic of the market this week. While so far the contracts are confined to a single dealer others are on the ground looking over the situation and watching the movements with con- siderable interest Matters in cured leaf are very much neglected of late and less trading is reported than at any time dur- ing the season. W. T. Pomeroy & Co. report the sale of a 50CS lot of 'or to ex- port, and other transactions are of minor importance. The first hail to do any injury to the growing crop covered a portion of the Vernon county section during the week, but the damage is not fully known yet A few local rains have fallen oflTering temporary relief but not sufficient to allay the general complaint of dry weather over the greater portion of the tobacco sections of the State. The crop is therefore not making the advance- ment hoped for, nor is the prospect as encouraging as could be wished. The harvest has commenced in a lim- ited way in nearly all sections, but soak- harvested during the present week. I will not undertake to tell whose crop is \ j^g ^ains and warm weatheVis' n7^Vd If the largest and ripest, for of the early set ^^e late tobacco develops into a saUsfac EsUblished 1870 Factory No. 79 S.

This vicinity (Hatfield) has a fine crop to date, the tobacco being free from worms and grasshoppers; no hail or wind. Two weeks more of good weather will give us the best crop grown here for years. — American Cultivator. EDGERTON, WIS. The buying of the new crop in the fields reported from Crawford county, is size, and a portion still small and late. The small crop in the stemming districts foreshadows prices too high next year for full handling of Leaf for the British markets.

The Taylor- Webb & Co. tobacco grow- ing firm at Nacogdoches, Texas, is in financial difficulty. The cut tobacco in the barn and five acres in the field was recently sold by the sheriff to satisfy a judgment obtained by Henry Miller, when J350 was realized. Representa. tives of Taylor. Webb & Co. have aban- doned the growing crops, and many claims are being filed against the con- cern. THE TOBACCO CROP. The Acreage as Compared with LtLSt ^e»-r— More Shaide Grown. The accompanying table by the Bureau of Statistics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture shows the tobacco acreage as compared with that of last year and the condition of the crop by types or districts, according to the classification of tobacco producing areas recently adopted by the Bureau. Among the sections producing cigar types Florida and Ohio report an in- creased acreage. The increase in Flor- ida is due entirely to the larger area planted in shade grown tobacco, as the sun grown crop of this State is lo per cent less than that of last year. The largest reduction of acreage is reported from New York and WUconsin, while New England and Pennsylvania report a redaction of less than lo per cent The few counties in Virginia produc- ing sun cured tobacco report an increase, while all other sections producing chew- ing, smoking, snuff and export types re- port a decrease. The preliminary state- ment of the Bureau indicated a slight increase in the Burley district, which is composed of certain counties in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia, but later reports since planting was finished show a decrease of 3 per cent The greatest reduction in acreage has been in South Carolina and in the eastern coun- ties of North Carolina. The Dark tobac- co sections of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia also report a marked reduction. Per cent of last year's Con- acreage dition 93 69 91 I03 79 92 119 Cigar Type*.

Address Tobacco World Publishing Company, No. aa4 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The FaLfmers* Gloom. THE GLOOM into which many tobacco growers have this year been thrown by the serious and extensive damages to their growing tobacco crops in nearly all of the cigar leaf pro- ducing States is pathetic, and from all accounts the storms which have passed over several of the to- bacco growing districts this year have been the most destructive in years, simply because they came at a time when the crops could be most damaged by hail. Nearly every year we have some hail, but the area of its destructiveness has usually been smaller. The hardship falls heaviest upon the tenant farmer, and he is deserving of the most sympathy, because it so perceptably reduces his resources and more or less blights his expecta- tions. The tiller of the soil naturally must take his share of chances in courting success. Manufacturers, merchants and others may be able to see ahead, and to some extent prepare for storms, while a farmer cannot foretell the action of the elements, yet it has been the experience that to one year of killing hail, drouth or flood there are often five and sometimes ten years during which no disasters of that kind are inflicted. Therefore there is another and wholly different side to the question. He should not overlook the fact that it has been estimated with reasonable ac- curacy that only five per cent of the merchants and those engaged in various callings attain what is called success in life, and there should be much consolation in the fact that upon the whole his chances are no more hazardous. The proportion of successful farmers is vastly greater than the proportion of successful men of business, mercan- tile, manufacturing and others; and. although the tobacco farmer may sometimes think he has more difficulties to meet than his brother farmers, when fortune does come to him, she usually comes with full hands. Tobacco and Baldness. I T WAS P. T. Barnum who was first credited with the theory that the world loves to be humbugged, and now some | doctors appear to entertain a similar opinion. If we could get the dicta of all of them to- gether, and govern ourselves accordingly, nobody would ever eat or drink again. Only a few years J. B. BUDDING.

We have a striking illustration of this ago newspapers were well filled with declarations fact in the highly successful career of J. B.

He has placed be long until the whole race would be born and upon the market some ot the best known brands remain bald as door-knobs. But the stupid notion of domestic goods, and the reputation which he died an early death, yet now, some said-to-be has gained will be a lasting benefit both to himself eminent London physician has proclaimed the and to the industry of his section, doctrine that baldness is one of the fruits of to- In a spirit of much enterprise Mr. Buddmg bacco using, and has created a new crusade against has placed a special exhibit of his product at the one of the chief objects for living, and like most World's Fair in Sl Louis, which we have learned other crusades, it will in all probability end in is attracting its well deserved share of attention — ^ -^ from visitors. In fact, he has gone to greater expense in preparing his exhibit than many of his competitors, again set- ting them the example of his well known enterprise. It is masterstrokes of energy and enterprise which merit one' s ultimate success in life. Mr. Budding is well known, not only in the cigar trade, but among business men generally. He is a resident of Yorkana, an attractive inland town, where he has a delightful residence in one of the most attractive spots in the county. He, of course, makes frequent and regular visits to his factory at York, giving his business interests there a large share of his personal attention. Mr. Budding began his business in 1878, and has progressed steadily ever since. Among his patrons are many of the best known and largest cigar distri- buting concerns in the county, to some of whom he has supplied his product for a great many years. During his long and successful career he has placed upon the market various brands which have had a continuous and steady sale. Among them are the El Dignidad, Monarch, Don Florie, Mr. J. B. BUDDING disaster to the crusader. Now and then there is a man with so much acrid humor in his secretions that tobacco, outraged, refuses to make friends with him, and this doctor must be one of these. To most men tobacco brings soothing, comfort, hopefulness, and even surcease of sorrow, and they will indignantly resent this insidious assault following: Joseph Reed, Samuel Smiles, Royal Lace, Flor de Pelham and Patrick Henry. The two great specialties now are the Joseph Reed and Patrick Henry brands. The Joseph Reed is an exclusively high grade cigar, retailing at IOC.

Box 98 MORE THAN FO VR TBBN THO US AND BALMS SOLD Heavy Demand for Vuelta Abajo Colas, at Advancing Prices — Movements of To- bacco Buyers — Gossip of the Warehouse and the Factory, During the past eight days our market has been exceedingly active, sales reach- ing the high-water mark in the number of bales turned over, although not in value, as nearly one-half of the quantity consisted of colas of Vuelta Abajo, which were in excellent demand by the local cig'irette factories. Prices for these grades have advanced fully 60 per cent since the beginning of the crop year, as the first sales were made at $10 per qq., and the last transactions for the same style obtained #16 per qq. Now holders are asking from {18 to $20 for all grades that have any quality, although it remains to be seen whether the cigarette manu* facturers will continue to show the same anxiety to augment their stocks. The Trust, through one of its companies here — The Cuban Land and Leaf Tobacco Co. , has been the heaviest buyer, while one independent factory is said to have acquired 3,000 bales. There has been a good demand by the buyers from the Unived States for factory vegas of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. Prices of prime goods are hardening and the tendency is upward, only nondescript vegas are still to be had at low figures, and in order to find takers owners are willing to meet purchasers. A few lots of old Remedios and low grades of the new crop were sold, the former for the American market and the latter for export to Germany. While it is still too early to know any- thing positively as regards the quantity of the 1904 crop, a comparison shows, how- ever, that while the totals this year up to August 20th amounted to 214,620 bales, the totals last year up to August 22d, 1903. amounted to 211.047 bales, indi- cating an increase of 3, 573 bales. There are only two conclusions possi- ble : either the crop this year has been very much over-estimated, or receipts must prove heavier during the balance of the year. Sales amounted to 14.360 bales in all. or 9,845 bales of Vuelta Abajo. 3.224 of Partido. and 1,291 of Remedios. American buy- ers have taken 5,341 bales, local cigar and cigarette manufacturers, 7,269, and European buyers, 1,250. Bayers Come and Go.

Havana Clarar Manufactarera are doing a steady business, and while there is a slight improvement the same is not yet pronounced enough to be no- ticeable in all of the factories. Germany is the best customer for the present, and Great Britain is beginning to show more interest ; only the call from the United States in larger quantities has to come yet to give more widespread activity in our factories. The consumers of Havana cigars in such countries as the Argentine Republic. Chile. Australia, etc.. are, however, sending fair sized orders.

THE TOBACCO WORLD II bates of all kinds of leaf he left for Key West to call upon his customers there. This is his fourth visit to Havana during the year. G. W. Nicholas has selected 438 bales of Vuelta Abajo leaf. He was accompa. nied by Mr. Artolazaya, the manager of the Key West factory. H. Anton Bock expressed his satisfac- tioa with the 1904 crop, and while he has not closed his purchasing trip, he has secured some of the cream of the Tierra Liana vegas of the Vuelta Abajo for his Tampa factory of Caro & Co. and also for his New York house. W. J. Hazlewood, who could formerly buy 5,000 bales of Remedios, register them, and leave within a week, says that the buying of tobacco for his firm of Leopold Powell & Co. is a harder prob- lem to solve and needs more time and study, but after posting himself thor- oughly in the city, as well as in the country, he has made some fair sized purchases. Mendelsohn, Bornemann & Co. are active in our market, buying and selling regular quantities of all kinds of leaf. They increased their stocks by 500 bales, of which they at once turned over 200 bales to their customers. Joaquin Hedesa made some good sales in Key West during his recent trip to that city, and he is still hard at work upon his packing of Artemisa tobacco at 102 Escobar street, and which he does not expect to finish until the end of Sep tember. A. Pazos & Co. shipped 206 bales per steamship Mexico, and made some good sales of the wrapper vegas to several fac- tories here. They have purchased and received some of the best Tierra Liana vegas of the Vuelta Abajo last week — about 250 bales. VoneifT & Vidal Cruz have made some good sales to their customers of late, while they continue to work with full forces in their various escojidas, which activity will not be finished for some time. In the meantime, however, they hold a good selection of completed vegas at their warehouse, for the disposal of customers. Receipts From tke Conrntry Week Ending Since Aug. 20. Jan. I.

Kolb first established himself as a cigar dealer at 208 E. Market street, Camden, N. J., and later removed to his present location at Second and Market streets, where he is continuing to push forward his special products of cigars, the leader being his Havana Blossom, a five cent cigar that has become a veritable pass word among Camdenites. He occupies a commodi- ous brick building in which he has both a factory and retail store. Ten cigar- makers are employed, while Mr. Kolb attends personally to the selling depart- ment and factory. The retail department is in charge of David Lloyd. Mr. J. C. Kolb. Mr. Kolb has shown in his career an indomitable will to succeed in his under, taking and has crowned his ambitions with success by force of energy and con- stant perseverance. It is said for him that a successful introduction of his pro- duct invariably means a permanent cus- tomer, and so his business grew by grad- ual advancement year after year to higher level of perfection and attainment. In the retail department Mr. Kolb does not supply his own products exclusively, but naturally gives them every possible pref- erence. Special Setle of TobaLCCo.

During all the last week out of town buyers were still arriving here, and the activity of the market was well kept up. The banner sale was one of 1,600 cases Connecticut Broad Leaf to one jobbing house in the West The 1901 Wisconsin and 1903 Pennsylvania were also bought of quite heavily, the transactions in do- mestic leaf aggregating several thousand cases. The Sumatra market is characterized as quiet but steady, and importers gen- erally seem to be well satisfied with this branch of the trade. There was no special activity in Ha> vana, yet a fair trade is reported, Reme- dios being in a very fair demand. CUEVAS RETURN. NorbertoCueva, of F. Miranda & Co., Havana importers, at 222 Pearl street, returned last week from a several weeks' stay in Havana, during which time they received considerable tobacco of the new crops at the Havana branch of the firm. • • • BUTLER BOUGHT UNIVERSAL BRANDS. The only bidder at the sale of the assets of the Universal Tobacco Company under the approval of the Court of Chan. eery of New Jersey, held at the offices of the company, 234 East Forty-Third street, this city, last Friday, was W. H. Butler. Mr. Butler and his friends have been in control of the Universal To- bacco Co. and the Commonwealth Co. iince their inception The well known Pall Mall brand of Turki.'h cigarettes, together with adver- tising matter, etc., was bid in by Mr. Butler for $60,000. St. Leger. little cigars, brought 1 10.000; Sovereign, do- mestic cigarettes, brought $2,500; John Anderson and Solace, smoking and chewing tobacco brands, was knocked down at $600. 383 shares of the capital stock of the United Machine Company, a corporation j organized under the laws of the State of I New Jersey, was bid in by Mr. Butler for I $15,000. At the conclusion of the sale Mr. Butler said: "All I can say is that I have purchased the assets of the LTniversal Tobacco Co., that is, the assets offered today. I will not be in a position to make any statement as to our plans in side of a month. The business of the company will be pushed more aggres- sively than ever before." The price realized for the various as- sets at yesterday's sale forms a striking contrast to the $10,000,000 capital stock of the company, which was incorporated under New Jersey laws in 1901. The company was apparently formed for the purpose of taking over a number of to- bacco companies, but most of these were absorbed by the trust. Charges of mis- management were brought against the company, and subsequently it became so involved in| litigation that a liquidation of its affairs was the only remedy in the matter. • • • A BOOKKEEPER'S MISDEEDS.t Louis Bense, who for the past eighteen months has been a bookkeeper in the employ of Y. Pendas & Alvarez, clear Havana cigar manufacturers, at 209 Pearl street, was placed under arrest last week charged with forgery. His misdeeds are believed to have been going on for only for [a Ishort time and were discovered early last week. He was held in $7, 500 bail by Magistrate Whitman of the York- ville Police Court. • • • BIG SALE OF CONNECTICUT. E. Rosenwald & Bro., of this city, sold a packing of 1.600 cases 1903 Connecti- cut Broad Leaf to Weinheimer & Opp, the well known dealers of St Louis. The purchase includes some of the choicest wrappers that the market affords. • • • I. Latzar, of Chicago, who has entered the leaf brokerage trade, was a recent visitor to New York. • • • Benno Neuber^er, of E. Rosenwald & Bro., returned to the city last week. after a two weeks' sojourn at Saratoga, N. Y. • • • Harrison Johnson, of the Cayey- Caguas Tobacco Co., has just returned to the New York headquarters after a visit to Southern points, and reports that while in Philadelphia he took the oppor- tunity to look over the proposed plans of a cigar and tobacco exhibit there, under the auspices of the Retail Cigar and To- bacco Dealers' Association, and had secured space for an exhibit of his firm's products.

GIVES PRE- MIUMS TO RETAILERS. The United News Company, with offices at Thirteenth and Filbert streets, inaugurated their first week's handling independent tobacco as a manufacturers' distributor with a rush of business. Orders from every district in the city were promptly filled the next morning after their receipt. The largest seller was the Lucky Strike tobacco of the Patterson Tobacco Company, of Richmond, Va. The representative of that company, W. H. Wheelwright, who is in town, is about to inaugurate a campaign of education among tobacco using people by the use of attractive literature, as well as having two splendid booths at the Tobaccoj Ex- position. Manager Toppin, of the United News Company, is getting ready to distribute the company's new cigar, the Woggle Bug, which is made up in a special size, as large as a perfecto, but a little thicker in the middle. It will be a nickel smoke, of first class tobacco. The cigar takes its name from the well-known, illustrated story for children by Walt McDougall, called "H. M. Woggle Bug, T. E." which is handled by the United News Company in a splendid book form and illustrated in colors. PniLlPPJ.KOLB EdwardT.Coloan retailers on sales through this channel amounts to about 5 per cent GELLERS AFTER LARGER QUARTERS. J. S. Geller, Sons & Co. intend to moi'e from their present store at 530 Market street, as soon as the lease can be sold, because they are badly cramped for room. No new place has yet been selected, but a store at least twice the size of the present one is desired. The business of the firm has grown steadily and they also need room for a]^large stock of their own independent goods, including the Peachy and Creation cut plugs. This week the Gellers brought out a new plug, which sold "like hot cakes," because it happened to be just what retailers wanted. It is called Penny Ike, and a pound package con> sists of a number of small square cakes, to be sold at one cent each. Each little plug has its own big blue tin tag. The new Internal Revenue law, it is argued, hampers the dealer in cutting his plug into "penny ikes" as he used to do, and Gellers' new brand is expected to meet the difficulty. KORS TO BRING SUIT.

These salesmen are to select distributors among the jobbers. The retail trade will not be appealed to. The principal cigars to be handled are the Havana Ribbon, nickel goods, in five sizes and Don Juan, to cent goods, in ten sizes. J. L. Hanley.the popular cigar broker of Kansas City, was in Philadelphia during the past week, i,alling on ac- quaintances in the trade. Frank Teller & Co. are thinking of moving from their present factory on Second street below Chestnut, becauseia large new building nearby obstructs their factory light. Their lease on the build- ing does not, however, run out for ten months yet, and they will have plenty of time to jselect another building. In the meantime, the cigarmakers are obliged to work under electric light on cloudy days. Lifshetz's factory at Tenth and Arch streets has been enlarged and altered as outlined in The Tobacco World some time ago. Another gallery has been put ! in to make room for more cigarmakers. The store has also been tastefully redec- 1 orated and new tall glass cases erected j back of the counter to hold a larger stock. Mr. Lifshetz has gotten out a i new cigar called the Santa Clara Ribbon, which has a very pretty box label. i Frank Reese, clerk with Arthur Hagan & Co., spent his vacation at the Dela> < ware Capes. S. Felheimer, the Third street cigar manufacturer, is well satisfied with the ' way his new cigar, the Eto, has been re- ' ceived. This cigar, made up in three different sizes, has brought in a number of new accounts and necessitated the employment of additional cigarmakers. j F. G. H. Woerner, a prominent job- ber of Manayunk, is spending his vaca« tion at Houston, Texas, his old home. Sam Jacobs, of Gumpert Bros., back from his vacation to Cape May, was out visiting the city trade. Henry Hill- bronner, of the same house, started last week on his long Southern trip. Irwin Dietrich, the South Broad street manufacturer and retailer, is doing well with the Stratford-Bellevue and Flora- delphia cigars. Otto Eisenlohr, of Otto Eisenlohr & Bros., will probably not return from Europe with his family before October i. The trip to Switzerland and Germany has proved a delightful one. The Eisenlohr factory continues to be rushed more than ever with business. Leaif DezLlers* Jottings. The leaf trade took a change for the better during the past week, quite a number of houses reporting a decided improvement in business. The fact that many a cigar manufacturer's stock is getting low at this time of the year and there is a steady demand for new crops as soon as they are sampled, helps to render the leaf outlook quite prosperous. Young & Newman find their fall busi- ness starting up much earlier than ever before. As much business has been done during August this year as has been the rule in the more active month of September. George W. Newman, a member of the firm, took an extensive trip throughout the State, soon after his return from Boston, where he attended the convention of the Grand Army of the Republic, at the head of the George G. Meade Post of this city. Julius Vetterlein &. Co. are of the opinion that the leaf trade has been as good this month as it was last year. There has been a heavy demand for old tobaccos, which are as scarce as they are desirable. All the salesmen have been sending in satisfactory orders. F. Eckerson & Co. received a large consignment of fine Connecticut during the week, which was purchased by Felix Eckerson during his last trip to the New England States. This firm has a fine stock of 1902 Havana, together with a lot of Broad Leaf, Havana Seed and Con- necticut The fall season promises to be an active one. Salesman S. Strauss is in the South, with samples of new Con- necticut George Burghard, leaf dealer, returned early this week from his vacation at At- lantic City. Salesman A. M. Lake sUrts out on a Western trip early in the falL George Cauffman, the popular Southern salesman for K. Straus & Co. , spent his vacation at Cape May, N. J. Mr. Straus is still at Atlantic City, and his improvement in health has been con- sidered phenomenal. J. H. STILES . . . Leaf Tobacco. . .

The local leaf market experienced an- other week of fair activity with sales ag- gregating about 1.500 cases, divided be- tween the 1901 and 1903 goods. The outlook amongcigar manufacturers upon the whole, is now also much better, although there are still some sections of this county in which some complaints are heard. Tobacconist J. G. Shirk has just re. turned to his office after a short sojourn to Atlantic City with his family. Mr. McGinnes, of John A- Kauffman & Co., wholesale cigar manufacturers on West Chestnut street, recently returned from a business trip through the Middle West, and is now covering New Jersey and the East They have been booking a considerable number of very satisfac- tory orders.

Metzger Leaf Tobacco Co., who are also manufacturing a special combination scrap for cigar manufactur- ing purposes, report that there are a large number of cigar factories which have adopted and arc successfully using their short filler preparation, and that their product is becoming more thoroughly introduced each week. They anticipate an extensive trade as soon as business again becomes thoroughly active. The year is progressing most satisfac- torily with A. D. Killheffer. proprietor of the Eureka Cigar Factory at Millersville. He states that he has this year opened a larger number of new and satisfactory accounts than ever before. Established 1891.

York, Pa., Aug. 29, 1904. N. C. Meade, of Red Lion, was con- victed last week in the Adams County Court of counterfeiting, using and dis- playing the label .of the Cigarmakers' Union of America on boxes containing non-union cigars. Local attorneys, as- sisted by prominent members of the bars of York, Cumberland and Franklin counties, were interested in the case, and some brilliant speeches were made. The president of the Cigarmakers' Union came from Chicago and testified as to the coun- terfeit character of the labels. Applica- tion was made for a new trial, pending the disposal of which Meade was held in |2,ooo bail. Work has been commenced on a fac- tory building for the Glatfelter-Snyder Company at Yoe. J.

W. Bowman & Co , of Hanover, have gotten out a new and novel label for cigars under the name of Bob How-man. It represents a picture of Mr. Bowman's son, who is about four and ahalf years old. He is holding a bow and arrow. This label is used in adorning a package of cigars of the 5 cent variety, and it is being made the leader of that factory. These goods, it is said, have already at- tracted a number of dealers, who are meeting with a good share of success on them.

The re- jections were larger than usual Our receipts are falling off fast, as most of the crop has been delivered. The market was active, with a good general demand at slightly easier prices for the lower grades of Leaf and firmer prices for the lower grades of Lugs. The condition of the field crop con- tinues less favorable ; rain is much needed in portions of the district and worms have increased in number. Cutting in a moderate way will com- mence next week, partly of the ripened plants of the first planting, which will be of good quality, and partly of the drought ripened plants, which will be poor. There is a strong effort being made to organize into one body all of the planters, to hold the market with a firm hand and secure fair prices for this year's crop.

Address Tobacco World Publishing Co., 224 Arch St., Philada. JULY FIGURES.: TT is not altogether encouraging to refer c to the figures of the output during July of the different products in tobacco. The new fiscal year has opened inau- spiciously, we must admit, but it need cause no despair, because the prospects for an improvement generally during the early fall are very good, as we have un- dertaken to show in another article in this issue. The entire output of cigars during the month of July. 1904. according to the internal revenue reports, was 551,169,. 450. During July. 1903. it amounted to 605.254.2 10, showing a decrease this year as compared with July. 1903, of 54.084,- 760. In small cigars the figures for July, 1904. are 52,788.000. and for July, 1903, 43,584.000. an increa-'C this year of 9,- 204,000. Cigarettes show a total output during July. 1904. of 274. 196.926. and in July. 1903. 328,279,043. a decrease of 54.- 082.117 in 1904. The output of smoking and chewing tobacco shows a falling off during July, 1904, as compared with the same period of last year of 2.253, 152 pounds. Snuff shows an increase of 122.942 pounds in the July production this year as compared with the figures for July, 1904, The gradual decline as shown above is emphasized by the official figures of the seven months output during the present calendar year, durmg which period the output of cigars shows a total decrease of 233,262.651; cigarettes, a net decrease of 29.864.814- Small cigars, however, show a gain of 101,047.003 during the seven months of the calendar year. Man- ufactured tobacco shows an increase of 5 593.689 pounds, and snuff an increase of 158.710 pounds. Of the sixty five revenue districts in the entire country. Florida alone shows a noteworthy increase in her tobacco output during July, 1904, as compared with the same month last year. THE FALL OUTLOOK. 'IP HERE is today every indication of a fair average fall trade, and nothing phenomenal is expected this year. It is just as well if we are favored with a mod- erate and steady increase of trade from now on until the end of the year. Booms are not specially desirable, because they are as a bubble on the waters, and liable to burst with the slightest agitation. It is admitted that crops are the key- note to the situation, and for the past week the entire country has been favored with excellent weather for all branches of agriculture, including, of course, tobacco. The prospects at this writing indicate a 575,000.000 bushel wheat crop, a 2.500,000.000 bushel corn crop, a 12,- 000,000 pound cotton crop, and a liberal gain in other agricultural products, with the possible exception of leaf tobacco — the acreage of which has been reduced in all sections, and crops in several sec- tions damaged by storms. There is, therefore, little prospect of an early relief of the stringency in the supply of domestic leaf tobacco, aug- mented as it is by the scarcity already existing in old goods, and prices will no doubt continue to have an upward trend. This is not the most cheerful informa- tion for manufacturers, who are begin- ning to find a gradual improvement in the demand for their products, but with continued prosperity in the immense agricultural districts of the West, there is every chance of a lasting improvement of trade in that section, for when farmers have no set backs to complain of and re- ceive good prices for their crops, it means a better demand from them for necessi- ties and luxuries. • • • COMPETITION IN KENTUCKY. Q*OME lively scenes are expected this season in the Kentucky tobacco belt, as Louisville tobacco warehouse companies are preparing to enter^into active competition with the representatives of the Continental Tabacco Co, It is said that since the Continental has commenced buying a large portion of its supply of tobacco from the farmers at private sale the warehouse people are forced to adopted similar methods in order to get their share of the tobacco crop. It is said that for the past five years the Louisville Tobacco Warehouse Co. has been buying from the growers. This was at first commenced by advancing money to growers on their tobacco crop, and this was followed by the purchase of the crops from the farmers in different neigh- borhoods. Last year the warehouse people had a number of buyers in the field, and this year, according to well informed tobacco men, they will enter into open competi- tion with the Continental Tobacco Co, in the purchase of the crops from the farmers. A large number of buyers will be placed in different sections of the to- bacco growing districts, and it is expected that extensive purchases will in this way be made, • • • PHILIPPINES TRADE.' TOURING the nine months ended March last the total commerce of the Philippine Islands shows an increased value of more than $1,000,000, accord- ing to a statement given out at Washing- ton, August 28, at the Bureau of Insular Affairs, The statement says that the Philippine import trade advanced nearly $2,000,000 in value and that a 'slight falling off is shown in the exports as a result of decreased shipments in copra and sugar, though hemp and tobacco were exported in larger amounts than for the corresponding three-fourths«of the previous year. Leaf tobacco exported in 1904 amount- ed to $875,987, a substantial gain, Spain and Austria being the principal buyers, while exports of cigars increased to $712,952, Hong Kong and British East Indies ^buying more than [one-half the amount. Americans made up more than one-half the total arrivals, as shown by the immigration figures, the larger por- tion being classed as professional men. One-fifth of the whole number of immi- grants, it is stated, could neither read nor write, 95 per cent of the illiterate being Chinese. • • • 'pHE AMERICAN INVENTOR, of New York, a heretofore supposed authority on inventions, speaks laconi- cally, yet emphatically, upon the subject of cigar machinery as follows: "There is considerable room for im- proving cigarmaking machines, as those now in successful operation are unper- fected and perform work of a very in- ferior quality. At presentonly the cheap- est grades of cigars are manufactured with machinery, though there i s no reason why every branch of the work cannot b e performed b y mechanical means. The field is an excellent one and an operative machine will find an unlimited commercial demand." THE TRUTH ABOUT HAVANA CIGARS. "DY COURTESY of Mr. Francis A. Wilson, of the Havana Tobacco Co,, we have received a copy of Don Gustavo Bock's latest work, entitled " The Truth About Havana Cigars," Don Gustavo has been a resident of Cuba for forty-six years, and during that period he has devoted his entire time and en- ergy to developing the cigar industry of the island. He writes with a fullness of knowledge and the confident hope of being able to convince his readers of his methods of manufacture and manipula- tion of the leaf. The writer has found it an interesting dissertation, and one which could be read with profit by thousands of people both in and out of the trade. It comes from the pen of a recognized authority, and is published by the Ha- vana Tobacco Co,, iii Fifth avenue, New York. We understand it can be secured upon request • • • MAIL OR.DER TOBACCO FACTORY. A MAIL ORDER tobacco manufac- turing establishment is somewhat of a novelty in the trade, yet there is apparently such a concern in existence as per announcement in the August issue of the Medical and Surgical Reporter, of Toledo, Ohio, in which appeared the following : I TOBACCO. Luxurious Smoking — Provided you use "French's Mixture" Smoking Tobacco. Made of finest and most carefully se- lected old and perfectly cured North Car- olina Leaf, You can't buy it from deal- ers. We furnish smokers direct from factory. Highest grade smoking tobacco manufactured, Deliciously mild, yet full of fragrance and never bites the tongue. There is nothing in smoking tobacco to be com- pared with it. Large sample package for loc in silver. French Tobacco Co. Statesville, N. C. • • • TOBACCO CULTURE IN IRELAND. A CORRESPONDENT of the Irish Times writes; A visit to the Farm, Kilmainham, Kells, County Meath, would satisfactorily show that there can be little doubt as to the possibility, or, ultimate success of tobacco culture in Ire» land. Under the capable management of Mr, P. O' Brien, farm steward, whose early horticultural training at the Blooms- bury Gardens now seems to prove of practical service in the working of this "tropical native,' ' the ' 'weed' ' is growing both healthily and freely. The plants are very fine and well grown, all seeming in robust health- The variety grown is "Yellow Prior. " an earlier and dwarfer va- riety than "Virginian" hitherto planted. The plants were raised under cover, and planted about three feet apart They promise to require all the space given and should indeed produce well. . , , Already numbers of women and children are being employed. It but remains for Irish tobacco manufacturers to prove themselves equal to the occasion." E. A. o^^^^^ <& Go H-^>' '^^ %,i::'ff ^- 4 ^ .,^^^«^^«^ OF^^ J. Vetterlein & Co.

PATRICK HENRY Five Cent Cigar An application for the dissolution of the Newark. N. J., manufacturing firm of Lewis & Allen Co. was filed last week by Att'y-Gen. McCarter, who is a mem- ber of the law fi r m of Williams & McCarter, of Newark. New Jersey, acting a s the principal attorney for Thomas Allen, with whom are also engaged as associate counsellors James, Schell & Elkus and Leo Oppenheimer, of New York. The application is not only for a dissolution of an alleged part- nership, but also for the appointment of a receiver for the firm of Lewis & Allen Co. , manufacturers of certain brands of little cigars, cigarettes, stogies, etc.. but which is known as a separate and dis- tinct concern from that of I. Lewis & Co.. manufacturers of cigars. In his petition, Mr. Allen alleges unsatisfactory business arrangements, stating that a copartner- ship was formed in writing, agreeing that Mr. Allen should have a half interest in certain brands of little cigars, cigarettes, etc.. which the firm of I. Lewis & Co., were thereafter to manufacture, among which brands there were several which Mr. Allen as a member of the late firm of Plough & Allen Co., of Jersey City, had been engaged in manufacturing pre- vious to his engagaing in a partnership arrangement with Mr. Lewis. It is now alleged that I. Lewis & Co. are manu- facturing little cigars under names so sim- ilar to those controlled by Mr. Allen that they were infringements upon his titles, and that under the existing conditions he was no longer able to properly protect his interests. The defense argues that the firm of Lewis & Allen Co. have no legal existence, never having been in- corporated, but that it was used merely for the purpose of distinguishing certain brands manufactured by I. Lewis & Co. The plaintiff, of course, is acting upon the claim that a distinct firm of Lewis & Allen Co, was created hy an agreement in writing, and that the question of in- corporation was entirely irrelevant. The Central Cigar Manufacturing Co. has been incorporated with a capital of 575,000. The directors are H. A. Wul- fers and Peter Quinn, both of New York, and Hugh Meehan, of Jersey City, N. J. The Orient Cigar Co., of New York, for manufacturing tobacco, has been in- corporated with a capital of I5.000. The incorporators and directors for the first year are J. Wolfe, H. Elfers and F. M. Marks, all of New York. The Cuban Tobacco Co., of Jersey City, N. J., was incorporated for the pur. pose of engaging in the wholesale and re- tail tobacco business with a capital of 15,000. The incorporators are B. L Dusenbury. W. R, Journlay, Jr.. and John S. Thompson, all of Jersey City. H. Duys & Co., the well known Su- matra importers at 170 Water street, have taken into their employ Wm. L. Uhler, who is a son of R. R. Uhler, the popular Pennsylvania representative of the house. As soon a s young Uhler shall have learned some details of the business he is to be advanced to a salesmanship. POKTO R.ICAN CONDITIONS. PKAZISR M. D0Z3BRR G. F. Sbcor, Special. Harrison Johnson Gives an Interview. In a recent interview Mr. Harrison Johnson. Vice-President and General Manager of the Cayey-Caguas Tobacco Co., which has factories at Cayey and Caguas, Porto Rico, with the headquar- ters for the United States at 90 Wall stieet. New York, said: "Tobacco growers and cigar manufac- turers of Porto Rico are having a hard time to combat the popular opinion in this country that Porto Rican cigars are not up to the Cuban standard. "Asa matter of fact, the cigars of Porto Rico are as good as 90 per cent of the cigars of Cuba, and as good as any, with the exception of those made from to bacco grown in one Cuban province. Great strides in the manufacture of cigars in the island have been made since the American occupation, although just at the present time in two or three of the principal districts we are troubled by strikes. "The condition of the cigar manufac- turer in Cuba, that is, the laborer, is ex cellent. Many of the good workmen make from $2 to $} a day, although as a general thing wages are not as high as they are in the United States. Living expenses in the island are not as great, and in addition to that the workingmen have not been used to the high wages which prevail here." F. C. LINDE. HAMILTON ®. CO.

Despite the complaints this summer of dull business in the leaf trade, a number of the dealers found, on going over their books, that there had been quite an ap- preciable increase over last year. Not only did the summer months show an improvement, but the average business so far this year displayed an increase over the corresponding number of months of last year. Young & Newman found their business for August at least 30 per cent greater than that of the same month last year, and 50 per cent larger than that of August, 1902. George W. Newman, one of the firm, is getting ready to start this week on an extensive Western trip that will consume about six weeks. He has been busy during the past two weeks getting in shape the firm's business in this State. At Lewis Bremer's Sons* place it was also ascertained that this year's business has thus far exceeded that of last year, although last year marked a good season for the firm. There were also heavier sales this year so far than last at the house of K. Straus & Co., but the competition in prices has been closer. K. Straus, the senior member of the firm has returned to town after having spent the entire summer at Atlantic City to recuperate his health. He is greatly improved and in excellent spirits. E. A. Calves & Co.'s steady business also shows an increase. Salesman Hershey started this week on a trip to Canada. Mr. Meyers has been doing well in New York State, while Mr. Mar- tinez has been sending in orders steadily from Pennsylvania. Frank Dominguez is awaiting reliable information from the planters in Cuba, in regard to the new crop, before starting on his buying trip to Havana. L. P. Kimmig & Co. have enjoyed a good trade considering the dull time of the year, and are now sampling their 1903 crop. Salesman John Konold started on a short trip this week, and Mr. Kimmig has gone to Lancaster. The Septeni ber trade has ahead y started in with B. Labe & Sons, and a much brighter business outlook is forecasted. F. Eckerson & Co. are very busy sampling their new stock, keeping all hands steadily at work. B. Regensberg, representing Hinsdale Smith & Co., was also in this city several days last week, closing up some transac- tions in Connecticut tobaccos. Dohan & Taitt find that their business for the present year has been showing an increase over that of last. Inquiries from manufacturers for certain goods show that factory stocks are running low and that new orders will soon be com- ing in. The Amsterdam Sumatra Company has a steadily growing business and last week took on another bookkeeper. Salesman Charles Robinson has gone up the State to look after the company's business interests. D. Pareira & Co. have made several sales of Havana and Sumatra during the week. Walter Himml, a prominent leaf packer and commission merchant of Ha- vana was in town during the week. L. Bamberger & Co. report that thus far their business has been going ahead of that of last year. Mr. Newman was found packing his trunks for his usual fall Western trip and from the looks of his samples he will surely give a good account of himself. The firm's holdings of 1903 Pennsylvania both of tops and B's will undoubtedly be quickly sold. I. H. Weaver, leaf packer, of Lan- caster, Pa., was a visitor here last week, enroute to New York and Boston. JuHus Hirschberg & Bro. shipped several good sized orders during the week.

Mr. Richard T. Gumpert, who was the sole surviving member of the cigar man- ufacturing firm of Gumpert Bros., is dead. As was his custom for some years pre- vious, he set sail for his native home on July 9th last, in company with his wife. He had been in failing health for some months, but not even his most intimate friends considered his condition so se- rious as it appears to have been. He grew steadily worse, and upon reaching Bad-Nauheim, Germany, he was in such a weakened condition that he could not take the treatment of the baths, and on Thursday last he expired from sheer ex- haustion as a result of heart trouble, not- withstanding a journey o f over three thousand miles across land and sea in a vain hope of finding some relief from an affliction which he himself was conscious would some day prove fata). The startling news of his unexpected death was not received in Philadelphia until Saturday last, upon which day Mrs. Gumpert. with the body, sailed from Antwerp per Steam Ship Finland for this city. highest regard imaginable as one of the trade's most prominent men, and no one was ever more universally hked. Always ready to lend a helping hand to employe or the trade. In him the cigar manufac- turers have lost a good friend, and his los- will be keenly felt by his many old friends." John H. Boltz: "I was very sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Gumpert, and feel that I have lost one of my best friends. I was much concerned about his reported illness, but was in hopes that he was improving. I would feel honored to render any service possible to Mrs. Gumpert upon her arrival in this country with the body of her deceased husband." Isadore Langsdorf: "I am almost too full of sadness to speak of Mr. Gumpert's death. I was one of the last to see him before he went away, and have been since cheered on receipt of a letter from Mr. Otto Eisen- lohr giving me at that time some encour- aging news. I have known Mr. Gumpert all his life, and found him the embodi- ment of upright principles. The cigar THE LATE RICHARD T. GUMPERT. Mere words are inadequate to express the deep regret into which the trade has been plunged by the coming of death to one of its most favorite members, or in other words the death of Mr. Richard T. Gumpert, who was the social veteran of the Philadelphia cigar trade, has closed forever an illustrious career, which brought its long time friend both fortune and lasting fame. Although h e had frequently drank from the fountain of enthusiasm, his life was an example that is highly worthy of emulation. But, alas, he died where manhood's morning almost touches noon, and while the shadows still were falling towards the west He had crossed to his favorite retreat in the night of his life. We present herewith the expressions of regret from some of his most intimate business acquaintances and friends: Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. : "We deeply deplore the decease of our friend Mr. Richard T. Gumpert, whom we held in the highest esteem, and feel that the trade has lost one of its brightest lights." Jos. S. Vetterlein: "I cannot describe the surprise and shock it was to me to learn of the death of Mr. Gumpert who has been my friend for years, and of whom we all had the manufacturers lose in him a good man, from among their ranks." Channing Allen: "Mr. Gumpert was one of nature's noblemen; I never knew a finer man. No cigar manufacturer in Philadelphia was more universally liked." Frank Teller: "It is a great pity that a man of such prominence in the trade should be taken off while virtually in the prime of life. He has always been deeply interested in the welfare of the Philadelphia trade. A man of liberal ideas, great ability and of sterling integrity. His death is a great loss to this community. Geo. E. Spotz: " Mr. Gumpert's death is a sad blow to us all. He wasalwaysactive in looking after the interests of Philadelphia. He had the wellfare of the cigar trade at heart, and did everything possible to promote its interests. With always a kind word for competitors, he was an e.unest and good man. " Samuel Fulweiler: "We were shocked to hear of the death of Mr. Gumpert He was a man of exceptionally good character, always straight forward in all business matters. We are proud in being able to have called him our friend." THB TOBACCO WORLD 19 M. K ALISCH ®, CO. Manufacturers of A Large Line of HIGH GRADE and MEDIUM ei6AI^S ^ed Lion, Pa.

It was through the efforts and aid of such men as Mr. Gumpert that Philadelphia has won the proud reputation which today is hers. He was one of the finest educated of men, and constantly working in the interest of Philadelphia." Julius Vetterlein : ' 'We are extremely sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Gumpert, and his loss will be materially felt. He was not only ver- satile, but a power in the cigar trade, and his straight forwardness and and genial disposition made him well liked by numerous friends und acquaintances. His loss is much to be regretted." Young & Newman: "The death of Mr. Gumpert takes from the ranks of our industry one of its strongest men, and the loss will be deeply felt. He was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, an honorable merchant and one whose counsel was always sought when the interests of our industry were endangered." L. Bamberger & Co. : • 'We were naturally very much grieved to hear of Mr. Gumpert s death. He was undoubtedly one of the finest men in the the trade, and far above the aver- age citizen in intelligence, integrity and education. As a worker on behalf of the cigar and tobacco interests he was with- out a peer. In fact he had the welfare of the city at heart as was shown by his interests in public matters." Mr. Gumpert is survived by a widow, one son, Albert, and a sister, the wife of Selmar Meyer, a well known insurance man, representing the Equitable Life In- surance Co. of New York. It is known that Mr. Gumpert has left a will, but what disposition of his prop- erty has been provided for will perhaps not be made public until after the will shall have been probated. The House of Gumpert. Mr. Richard T. Gumpert was born at Bernburg, in the Duchy of Anhalt, Ger- many, on July 29, 1842, and came to the United States in his early boyhood, in company with father and mother and two brothers— Gustav, the eldest, and Albert, the youngest of the family, and one sister. In 1856 Mr. Walter Gum- pert, the father of the Gumpert Bros, and in association with the sons, estab lished themselves in the cigar business at Third and Chestnut streets, doing largely a retail cigar trade. Later the store was removed to Chestnut street be- low Broad, and .idjoining the old Mint Building. In 1866 Mr. Walter Gumpert. the father, died, but th^ business was continued by the three sons. In 1 88 1 Mr. Gustave Gumpert, the oldest of the three brothers, died, and the business was then continued by Richard T. and Albert Gumpert In 1888 the retail store was removed from the above mentioned location to 728 Chestnut street near the old Conti- nental Hotel, and in 1890 the retail busi- ness was discontinued, and the factory and salesrooms were removed to the N. E. cor. Twenty-third and Sansom streets. Death of Albert Gumpert. In 1S94. during a pleasure trip to Europe, Mr. Albert Gumpert met with a tragic death by an accident, fnlling from a bridge in Heidelberg, Germany, and expiring four hours later. His body was brought to Philadelphia and buried with Masonic honors on June 21, 1894. In 1896 the present factory at Reading was built and occupied for the manufac- ture of all except the higher class goods. In 1899 the ofifice and factory at Twenty- third and Sansom streets was closed. All the factory equipments were removed to Reading, and the offices to the present headquarters at 114 N.

Hansen has entered suit against the city of Reading for I5.000 damages to his factory at Tenth and Spring streets by the bursting of a water main last winter during the extremely cold weather. John G. Spatz, of J. G. Spatz & Co., has been on another western business trip and booked a number of desirable orders for their product Soon after returning from the West, including a visit to the World's Fair, he again made a visit to Louisville, Ky., as a member of the Reading delegation of the Knights of Pythias, and has just returned from that trip. Pottstown cigar manufacturers have recently experienced some difficulties with striking cigar makers, who claim that they could not earn comfortable liv- ing wages at the rates offered, but the manufacturers maintain that the rates they pay are as high as at most places, and higher than at a great many.

Storms Again Visit the Tobacco Belt, But the Damage Not Extensive — Trade Fair in Lancaster City — Notelets. Lancaster, Pa., September 5, 1904, We are having a fair leaf market in consequence of the activity in the larger cities, but the business of the past week was confined largely to the 1903 goods. Nearly 2, 000 cases of leaf were purchased from country packers during the week. Another rather destructive storm visited the county yesterday, and passed through Lebanon county all along the tobacco belt The wind was terrific, and was ac- companied by considerable hail in some sections, but the estimated extent of dam- age is not as great as during the previous storm. Housing of the new crop has been going on as rapidly as possible, but large tracts are yet to be taken in. I. H. Weaver left last week on a busi- ness and pleasure trip to Boston and the East, stopping at Philadelphia and New York enroute. H, H. Miller, who has been confined to his home by illness for several weeks, is much improved and will soon again be able to look after business as usual. E. M. Brash, of the Johns- Brash Cigar Co., advises me that he will soon be be ready to show the trade a large line of samples of new goods to be offered by them. The preparations of this new company have been very extensive and the new line of goods is very large and complete in all particulars. T. D. Shertzer, leaf dealer on East Fulton street has been quite an active trader lately. His warehouse, which is 50x100 feet, contains three floors, and is well filled with goods of all kinds. Henry G. Hoeltzel, of North Queen street is out of the city on a two weeks' vacation. Representatives of lithograph houses are again getting busy, in anticipation of fall trade, and several have been here during the past week. They included Sam. Kauffman, with Wm.

Tobacco in this State rarely ever ripens down the stalk uni- formly enough to cure the whole stalk at one-time. We usually make four or five croppmgs or gatherings before we get it alL The leaf should be well yellowed before it is pulled. It shows a kind of grain before it is ready to be gathered. It takes experience to tell a ripe leaf upon first sight Green leaves should never be pulled. When the tobacco begins to ripen which may be anywhere from the last of June to the first of September, the hot- torn leaves are cropped off. This is a very simple process and is done by the laboring class. One cropper will get in between two rows and carry both at the same time. Another laborer, called "crate" or basket carrier will get in be- tween each two croppers and carry baskets for them to put tobacco in. Some planters use baskets to gather tobacco in, but in my opinion the best and the cheapest thing to use is a crate. The materials to make one can be bought for 8 cents, and a workman can make fifteen or twenty a day. It requires two end and six side pieces, end pieces eigh- teen inches wide by twelve inches high and oneinch thick. side pieces five inches wide by five feet long and three-quarters inch thick The crate is carried on a roller which is also made on the farm. Take a little wheel from five to eight inches in diame- ter, put an axle through it and attach shafts. A small boy at 20 cents a day is sufficient to pull one of these. When the crare is filled it is rolled to the end of the row. Another boy with an empty crate should be there to take his place. When a sufficient number of full crates are taken to the end of the rows the wagon should take them to the barn. The best arrangement for hauling is to put a foundation on the bolsters of the wagon, higher than the level of the wheels by two or three inches. Then at- tach thin planks to this, so that the sur- face will extend over the wheels. The usual size of this surface is eight feet wide and twelve feet long. This gives a surface of ninety-six square feet to place the crates upon. This will carry from twelve to fourteen crates without bruising any tobacco whatever. Where it is hauled in wagon bodies a great deal of it is bruised. After the tobacco is taken to the bam it is strung on sticks. The sticks used are about four feet four inches long. The thread used is ordinary wrapping cotton twine. A notch is cut in one end of the stick, and the thread is fastened in it. Then the tobacco is strung on it in a way that i t i s impossible t o describe in writing. About three or four leaves are put on a bunch and about thirty bunches put to one stick. The bunches are placed alter- nately one on one side, the next on the other. Four or five good stringers can string a barn of 1,000 to 1,200 sticks in one day. After stringing it is taken into the barn and placed. The sticks are placed from six to twelve inches apart on the tier poles and not more than i.ooo to 1,200 sticks placed in 20 by 20 foot barn. After the barn is filled, which is generally done on Monday, the tobacco is ready for curing. -T. B. Young, ClemsonColl.,S. C. Leaf Tobacco Markets. CONNECTICUT VALLEY. The tobacco harvest in this locality is nearly finished; a day or two more and the fields will be stripped of that densely packed green with which they have been covered. The crop will stand as a record breaker in the last decade, and, for a wonder, most of the crop that has come under our observation is very well ripened. The tobacco plants were so large that they could not be handled so rapidly as could some of the former crops that have been raised in the past decade. In fact, when loading, in many instances, only two plants could be picked up with ease at one handling. Usually, when the butt of the stalk is small and the plants lighter, two plants can be raised from the ground in each hand, but on con- siderable of the present crop only one could be picked up with either hand, thus making it a more laborious job for the men who drive the teams, and also for those at work cutting or hanging the plants in the sheds. If the weather holds favorable and we get our information correctly, the lateset tobacco will make a good crop, with good weather and no frost until the fifth to the eighth of September. After this time of year we are not apt to have hail- THB TOBACCO WORLD 27 ♦♦♦♦JJJ*4.^> WILLIAM J. NOLL MANUFACTURER. OF Successor to J. Neff ♦ ♦ High Grade Cigars C. A. KILDOW. W. T.

Ten cents is about the average price named in the contracts. There is a good deal of riding in other growing sections keeping tab on the harvest which is just fairly getting under full swing.

In view of this President Young, of the Philadelphia Tobacco Board of Trade, is urging manufacturers to back the Secre- tary up. According to present preparations the new stamp will be printed on the same paper and in the same ink as the internal revenue stamp and will be arranged to appear merely a continuation of it. The word "imported." which in itself was a considerable handicap for the domestic product, will be substituted by 'United States Customs." Secretary Armstrong's action is a pro- nounced victory for the National Associ- ation and it is Mr. Young's belief that a concerted endorsement on the part ot the manufacturers will prevent the slipping away of any of its profit. "Independent firms." says President Young, "should write to Washington con- gratulatmg the Department on its action, outlining the tremendous advantage which it will undoubtedly give to the domestic cigar trade."

All the land suitable for tobacco raising is U;ed for that purpose and there is very little opportunity for any extensive increase. As a rule in making an estimate the entire tobacco growing section of South Windsor and East Hartford are usually considered to- gether. A fair estimate would be 700 acres, and it will weigh 1,500 pounds, or more, to the acre. SUFFIELD. About 2,500 Acres — Expected to Bring $ 1 , 000, 000, The Sufifield tobacco farmers are jubi- lant at the prospect of the result of their summer's work. An expert in gi owing and handling the weed, says that a more perfect crop was never grown here, and cannot be grown. About 2,500 acres arc grown here, which, it is said, will average a ton to the acre, and a number of growers say their crop must bring 30 cents a pound, while others more mod- erate think 20 cents a pound only a fair price, taking the latter figure, and it is calculated that the value of the crop grown in this town, barring all future ac- cident may be reckoned at 51,000,000. There has been little increase in the acreage for the past three or four years, but as compared with that of ten years ago there is probably an increase of 50 per cent. In the acreage of broad leaf there is aii increase this year of from 75 to 100 per cent over that of the past three years. There is very little if any in- crease in that of Havana seed and not a plant of shade grown is being raised this year. BLOOMFIELD. The • • Finest Ever Grown " Farmers Say This Year. The tobacco crop -n this town as a whole is one of the finest ever grown. It is free from calico, yellowishness or im- perfections of any kind common to its growth, in fact so perfect is the leaf, color and evenness of the j^rowing crop that it requires a tobacconist to note and distin- guish'any possible difference between one piece and another. The'season has been a favorable one for its growth and a very heavy yield in weight is looked for. It is estimated to run|from 1,600 to 2,000 pounds to the acre, a remarkable yield, and with fa- vorable curing weather a quality un- equaled is assured. The acreage grown in Bloomiield is from 500 to 600; three kinds are grown, viz. : Connecticut seed broad leaf, Connecticut shade grown Su- matra and Connecticut Havana. This year the Havana outdoor tobacco i» largely raised by the growers, Connecti- cut broad leaf is raised in small propor- tion compared to the Havana, but its growth is unprecedented. The West Side Sumatra Tobacco Co. has thirty five acres and the Shade Grown Tobacco Co. of Connecticut fifteen acres of shade grown, which is of beautiful growth, up- on which the work of priming has begun. Three primings or pickings are made at intervals of from six or eight days apart — seven or ten leaves being taken at a priming. GRANBY. About 265 Acres — 25 to 28c a Pound Expected. There will be about 265 acres of to- bacco harvested in Granby this year and as far as quality and quantity goes, it it is the best crop grown since 1899. "^^^ cutting began rather early which indi- cates that the past season has been par- ticularly favorable. The farmers are busy and light hearted, inspired by the feeling that good prices will prevail. Of course the danger point is not passed and it will not be until the tobacco is de- livered to the buyer. There are here few large growers, the extent of the tobacco plots being gener- ally from three to six acres. This year there have been but few worms and com- paratively little 01 the plant has been blighted. Buyers have as yet been few, so few as not to establish a market price, yet one ought to be justified in saying that the price will be from 22 to 28 cents a pound. Those who sell early usually get the best price, and the tobacco kept until late often goes for less than it is actually worth. GLASTONBURY. ••A Good Sound Crop." The reports relative to the excellent condition of the crop in the vicinity are well substantiated by those who have taken the time to investigate the matter and it is seldom that the farmers have an opportunity to place a crop under cover which promises so well as the present one. While they are by no means relieved of all risk when the crop is hanging in the sheds, the loss from pole sweat is less to be feared than the destroying hail or wind storms to which the 'plants in the field are constantly exposed. ENFIELD. About 850 Acres. The prospect of a good tobacco crop in Enfield this year is bright. The work of harvesting is now in progress and if the favorable weather continues, the greater part of the crop will be under cover by the second week in September. It is difficult to give an accurate esti- mate of the number of acres to be har- vested and the probable value of the crop, as the opinions of those competent to judge vary considerably. The best estimate obtainable places t h e total number of acres at 850 and this is prob- ably nearly correct. The crop will aver- age a ton to the acre, and the indications are that the selling price will be on an. • C. A. ROST & CO., All Grades of Leaf Tobacco, RED LION, PA.

The number of acres of tobacco planted this year is somewhat less than last, but the estimate given, indicates that the value of the crop is somewoat above the average. MANCHESTER.. «'A Large Yield of Wrappers," All the tobacco growers in this district are at present engaged in harvesting the crop. The larger numbers are employed at the farm of the Connecticut Sumatra Company, in Wapping, where there are sixty acres under cultivation, the other growers being confined to a few acres. The crop this year is said by men expe- rienced in the business to be the best that they have ever had; the leaf is long and thin and will give a larger yield of wrappers than that of any previous year. windsor;and poquonock. Crop Valued at 1300,000 to $400,000. It is estimated that there will be from 1,200 to 1,300 acres harvested in the town this year, valued at from $300,000 to $400,000. The acreage will be about the same as last year, but the tobacco will weigh more to the acre. The average weight an acre is about 1,600, but the prospects are now that it will run any- where from 1,700 to 2,000 pounds to an acre, making it one of the heaviest crops in years. I The crop is thought to be the finest in ten years and is remarkable for its ex- treme weight and the jabsence of all holes caused by worms, grasshoppers and hail. Not a single crop in Poquonock has been seriously hiil cut this season. One prominent grower has placed $400 an acre as a low valuation for his crop. The average value will be between $300 aad $400 an acre. WAREHOUSE POINT. Unblemished, and Averages 1,900 Pounds to the Acre. Tobacco harvesting in this section has begun in earnest, fully 20 per cent being already in the sheds. The total acreage for the town of East Winfisor is estimated at I .cxjo acres which is 5 per cent more than that of last year. The weight of the cured leaf, which in former years would average 1,700 pounds to the acre, will this year average fully 2,000 pounds. The crop, too, which is without a blem- ish, is considered the best raised in many years, and is valued at $400,000 TARIFFVILLE. About 500 Acres, "As Fine Tobaccoas Was Ever Raised.' The tobacco question to-day is one of interest here, as within a radius of five miles there is in the neighborhood of 400 acres of as fine tobacco as 'was ever raised in this section. -^ • Ariel Mitchelson has twenty- five acres and near him is Morton Sanford's five. One and one-half miles from the village we have the Ackery plantation of twenty- five acres; then come the Connecticut plantation of 100, ten of which is under cloth and it is on the large plantation uhere the interest and study comes. Going North one finds the Indian Head plantation with twenty-five acres. On this plantation is the United States ex- periment station under the charge of A. D. Shamel. SOUTH WINDSOR. Crop Valued at $350,000. ^ The 1904 tobacco crop that is now be- ing harvested in South Windsor, is the finest that has been raised in years.' It is undamaged by hail, winds or wOrms and will go into the barns an ideal crop. On Main street, Rye street and in the Pleasant Valley district there are about 900 acres valued at $350,000. This acreage does not include the Wapping district. The acreage has increased par- ticularly in the cultivation of the Connec- ticut Broad leaf, Havana seed not being raised as much as formerly, owing to higher prices being paid for broad leaf, though more care is exercised in hand- ling the crop. SINSBUR.Y. " The Best Tobacco in Years." The tobacco farmers are busy harvest- ing their crop which is the largest and best grown in town for years. The acre- age is about the same as last year, nearly 300 acres, and its value if housed safely is estimated at upwards of $90,000. «^%«%%«% BUYING IN WISCONSIN. STRINGING THE TOBACCO PLANTS ON THE LATHS. Prices R.ange from 9 to II Cents. Edgerton, Wis., Sept. 12, 1904. Contracting for the new crop of to- bacco has been going on for the past three weeks, and it is beheved that nearly half of the crop in Crawford, Rock and Vernon counties has been purchased. The total acreage for the three counties was about 8,000 acres, which should yield about 10,000 boxes of packed leaf, but this quantity will be reduced some- what by the damage suffered in conse- quence of hail. Prices have been running from 9 to 1 1 cents. After this more than usually active period of three weeks, buyers seem to have again turned home- ward. A considerable portion of the purchases were made by local dealers. Among Eastern purchasers, however, were A. Cohn & Co., Pretzfeld & Co., United Cigar Manufacturers, all of New York; Otto Eisenlohr & Bros., of Phila- delphia,and L. W. Scott & Co. , of Boston. W. S.

S. Valentine & Son are expressing nearly all of their big orders instead of sending them by freight, as usual. The reason is that orders cannot be filled fast enough, and Western distributors want the goods in the quickest possible time. S. Rosener. of the Havana American Co., and Mr. Krauss. of Krauss & Co.. Baltimore, paid a business trip to this city this week. J. C. Heymann. of the late firm of Heymann & Co., is expected soon to open a fine jobbing house in this city. This rumor was in circulation at the time Heymann & Co, went out of business, but now it seems to be an assured fact.* J S. Geller, Sons & Co. are getting out their old brand of stogies called the Porto Rico Puffs, which retail at four for five cents. The factory discontinued making these stogies some time ago on account of a rise in the Porto Rico leaf, which rendered it impossible to make them at the price. Since then the price has become more favorable. The firms display in the Labor Day parade, adver- tising the Peachy cut plug, has brought in quite a number of orders for the goods. Their shipments from the ifactory have amounted to 5,000 pounds per day for two weeks past. A number of manufacturers are going in with Gellers to exhibit at the Tobacco Exposition next month. They will have three or, perhaps, five booths, throvn into one, with a grand electrical display. The firm has received a factory shipment of 5,000 pounds of Penny Ike tobacco, which has became a dealer's favorite. Joliet, Ills., and are prepared to supply matches in the various sizes to the trade. J. Harvey McHenry, of this concern and a member of the Exposition Com- mittee of the Retail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers' Association of Philadelphia, is again on duty, having been laid up for several days at his house, with ap- pendicitis. G. W. Young, formerly a bookkeeper for J. S. Geller, Sons & Co. . has become the local representative for Marcus Feder, the Cleveland stogie manufacturer. Among the visiters in town during the past week were Benjamin Wasserman, of B.Wasserman & Co.; William Taylor, of the Anglo- Egyptian Cigarette Co. ; Mr. Mosedale, of Sanchez y Haya and Mr. Bowen, of Guerra, Diaz & Co. J. Smedley, a manufacturing retailer on Filbert street near Fifteenth, displays a fine stock of his own Fiorina cigar as well as two other brands, the Manuel F. Dominguez and the La Juntida. Manager Frank M. Toppin, of the United News Co. reports additional pro- gress in the new departure as distributors of independent tobacco goods to retail dealers. Louis H. Eisenlohr, of O. Eisenlohr & Bros., is on a few days trip to the West. W. K. Roedel, of the W. K. Roedel Co. , cigar manufacturers, spent part of the week in Atlantic City, combining business with pleasure. Samuel Bayuk, of Bayuk Brothers Ci- gar Co. . returned last week from his trip to Baltimore, Washington and Virginia. He expects a big fall trade, which is al- ready under way. Oblinger Bros, say that their fall busi- ness has started i n very satisfactory, especially with the Vesper cigar. The local trade kept up well all last summer through the demand on this popular smoke. There is quite a demand also for the Lord Lancaster and Civilian — the firm's 10 cent leaders. Frank Teller, of Frank Teller & Co., cigar manufacturers, was away on a trip to the West this week. THB TOBACCO WORLD Arthur H. Hagen & Co. have taken the agency for the Illinois Match Co., of L Weinberg, on Second street near Market, has quite a demand for his •«5o'* cigars. He is also handling with suc- cess the La Muria, Rosa Bell, Manuel Victor, and Free Cuba cigars. George Zorn & Co., the dealers in pipes and smokers' goods, on Market street, near Sixth, are at present having a very busy season. They will soon be getting in a new stock, to meet the holi- day trade.

Eshelman, of 1600 Arch street, maker of the Archon cigar, is back from an extensive trip to the West, which in- cluded St. Louis. F. L. Dominguez, Jr., whose factory is at Twenty-sixth street and Columbia avenue, has brought out a new cigar called the Diamond D. The box label shows a letter D, encircled in a diamond shaped quadrangle. The letter, of course, stands for the name of the manufacturer. F. L. Dominguez is a son of Frank Dominguez, of E. A. Calves & Co., importers of Havana, and promises to be a noted cigar manufacturer under the tutelage of his father. Only the finest kinds of tobaccos are used and besides the Diamond D, he manufacturers the Bejucal, Don Facundo and Limonero. The Diamond D is made up in three sizes, Brevas, Londres Grande and Ele- gantes. It is made of fine old Havana that comes already stripped from Cuba and in which there is no waste or scrap. It was at first intended to be a 10 cent cigar, which price its qualities and size seem to warrant, but it will be placed with a few first class dealers to sell as nickel goods. The L. F. WiUiams Co., of Camden, N. J., has, in a type written circular, an- nounced its willingness to be adjudged a bankrupt. At the meeting of creditors held last Thursday no agreement was reached. The assets of the company consist o f stock valued at $2,000, fixtures valued at $1,000 and book ac- counts reaching $6,000, of which $3,000 are said to be collectable. The liabilities are placed at $7,000. It is likely that an application to court will soon be made for the appointment of a receiver. SPECIAL NOTICE.

If the warm, damp weather had continued up to date we should have had grave fears concerning it, but with the advent of Sunday came a change for the better. Saturday evening the odor from the sheds h.id become quite strong in late- cut tobarco, though the early-cut tobacco had, in many cases passed the critic^ period. Much of the latter is now look- ing quite brown and is so far along that there is no danger of pole sweat Much of the tobacco hanging is very liable to sweat with a certain kind of weather. There are .1 few small pieces of tobacco still staiuling. hut the great majority of the crop is under the shingles. Wc have heard of some riding about ami looking at the new tobacco, but have not heard of any sales in this local- ity. It will not be many days before we shall begin to hear of sales, as soon as the growers get cooled down a little. After harvesting such a tine crop they nre cl.ited (»ver the prospect.

The growing crop is about one-third cut and housed, but is not up to expect- ations on account of the drouth. The late planting has been growing since the rain last week. The crop estimate is 60 per cent of last year. Receipts for the week, 375 hhds; sales, 666 hhds. EDGERTON, WIS. New impulse has been given the buy- ing movement by the appearance in the field of the force employed by the United Cigar Manufacturers, and the contracting of tobacco goes merrily on. Attempt was made to start buying in other sections aside from the Vernon county district but with somewhat indifferent success. Many growers in the Rio section are unwilling to enter into contracts at the present state of the growing crop. The harvest is being rushed now in all sections of the State and the heavy work will be done the coming week. The Nveather continues favorable to develop the late fields as well as the cure of that portion already shedded. Old leaf is receiving some attention, ind ah occasional lot is moved from country hands. Dealers report a fair de- mand for old stock but sales arc gener- ally of moderate sized lots. — Reporter. CLARKSVILLE, TENN. M. H. Clark & Bro. Our receipts this week were 378 hhds, offerings on the breaks, 371 hhds; pub- lic and private sales, 454 hhds. The quality of the offerings was very poor, but the market was active, with Lugs »^ to Xc higher, and Leaf ^ to }4c higher, and prices range mainly with our right hand column of figures. Sellers do not propose to carry over any stock, and aim to sell out entirely, and stocks will probably show full reduc- tion at the end of the month. A good gentle rain fell over portions of the district on the 3d inst. This week there has been more general cutting of the first plantings which are ripening. The organizing of planters to hold the crop firmly for high prices is meeting with much greater success than was ex- pected by many, and under present plans capital will be freely offered to finance the undertaking.

In a Statement to The Tobacco World He Defends Himself Against the Accusation that He Intended to Bribe St. Louis Fair Judges to Award Medals to Pennsylvania Cigar Manufacturers. The Winget Manufacturing Company, of which J. Stanley Winget is President, has achieved considerable notoriety lately on account of Mr. Winget's promoting schemes at the St. Louis Fair by which he is endeavoring to make an effective display of certain Pennsylvania manu- facturers' goods. As a result of certain correspondence conducted by Mr. Win- get, he was flatly accused of crookedness in the columns of a contemporary, and the documents put in evidence certainly seemed to indicate irregularity. The Winget Company is primarily a York concern for the manufacture of cigar making machinery, and has been conducting a display at the Fair. Un- der Mr. Winget's supervision also, are exhibits from a number of Pennsylvania manufacturers. In connection with these, was the following letter sent to a certain manufacturer, and which raised the ques- tion of Mr. Winget' s honesty of intention ; Dear Sir — We are reliably (and confidentially) informed that the judges are to pass on the cigars for medals in about two weeks. The enclosed contract explains itself as much as we can give you without seeing you personally. It is enough to say that it costs you nothing un- less the officials allow you a medal. Copy on your own stationery and fill in the space left blank for the brand you want premium on, returning same to us at your earliest conveni- ence, and we will do the rest. Understand, we do not guarantee a premium, but are using all means in our power to secure medals for our friends. If you do not get them, it will not be our fault, and we think several of your samples are entitled to medals; but you know how all these things are, and we shall use the enclosed contract if we see an opening, etc. Awaiting your early reply, we are Yours respectfully, Winget Manufacturing Co. The "enclosed contract" reads as follows: Gentlemen — If you can secure us a medal on our cigar at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, we hereby agree to give you one hun- dred (|ioo) dollars as soon as notice is received from the officials that same has been allowed. Very truly yours. The face of this allows of a fair pre- sumption that the $ioo was to go toward greasing somebody. The Tobacco World wired to Mr. Winget for his version of the affair, and while his statement seems to clear him of any illegal action, it cer- tainly convicts him of short-sightedness and astoundingly bad judgment. The following is his letter: St. Louis, Mo , Aug. 2o, 1904. Editor The Tobacco World ; Replying to your telegram and the Leaf article, the international jury of awards will number some 1,400 judges. They have not all been se- lected as yet, and of course will not be assigned to the various classes until they organize. The article in the Leaf talks like we weie the judges and had the giving out of the awards. We have exhausted the $20 advanced by each exhibitor long since, and there is much more to be done to make and keep up a credit- able showing. So it was that we asked only those who will get pre- miums to assist, and we are pleased to say that they have responded quite liberally. V\^e have the larg- est display here; we cover almost every price and class of domestic cigars, and should walk off with the medals. We shall be able to ac- count to those contributing to this for getting himself misunderstood, and his chief blunder at the outset seems to have been his cheerful idea of what he could do with |2o. He says in his let- ter: "So it was that we asked only those who will get premiums to assist, and we are pleased to say that they have re- sponded quite liberally." Any unbiassed reader would take this to imply that Mr. Winget knew just who will be awarded medals, and appealed only to them. He should have said that he asks those to assist who DO get medals, that is, to give a provisional promise of assistance. If a manufacturer's goods receive a prize partly owing to Mr. Winget's dis- play management, to effect which he has gone down in his own pocket, it is no more than right that he should be reim- bursed, but in his effort to square him- self financially he became entangled in a maze of his own mistakes and other people's misunderstandings. j,jU«iH«wn»ojj.#f I A PRODUCT OF THE V. A. COLLLMS CIGAR FACTORY, exhibit to their entire satisfaction. There is no crooked proposition or Aim flam business about it. It takes money to buy show cases, do the installing, paint signs and make an exhibit here One concern has spent $15,000 without being called names through the press. We do not see why the Pennsylvania Cigar Manu- facturers should not have a right to spend their money putting up a creditable show as well as the rest. The exhibit takes up the most of the show case room, and they have asked us to embellish it, which will cost $300 or $400. Here will be a place for most of the additional funds requested. We are sorry that any of our friends or exhibitors are dissatisfied. We have done the best we could with the little ammunition we had to do with. Our State had $15,000 to put their exhibit in this building, while we had less than |2,ooo, and have a more interesting and better exhibit than the State. Of course we have had to put up about $5,000 of our own good coin to make this exhibit, and those who have seen it are well pleased. Yours, J. Stanley Winget. Mr. Winget appears to have a genius THE JULIAN HAWTHORNE CIGAR. We present herewith a half tone re- production of the Julian Hawthorne label used in embellishing a package of 10 cent cigars made at their factory and used as a leader by the V. A. Collins Cigar Co., of Marietta, Pa. This brand is placed with the wholsale and jobbing trade as a high grade piece of goods, made by union workmen exclusively, and put up in several sizes. It hasjbeen on the market a comparatively short time, but it has found favor with a number of luge distributors and a good business is being built on its merits. Julian Hawthorne is too widely known to intelligent readers of newspapers and periodicals to need any further reference by us to his fame as a journalist, and the adoption of his name, which was done by his permission, was a stroke of enter- prise by the originators. The label is a beautiful specimen of SOVTHERN PLANTERS TO MEET. Five Thoastnd Tobacco Growers of Tennessee and Kentucky will Convene at Gothtie, Ky.. on Sept. 24 to Organize and Discuss Prices. The dark tobacco planters of Robert- son, Montgomery and Stewart counties, of Tennessee, and Logan, Todd, Chris- tian, Trigg and Caldwell counties, of Kentucky, will meet at the fair grounds at Guthrie, Ky., on the 24th of this month in answer to a call by the presi- dent of the Clarksville District Tobacco Growers' Association, C, H. Fort, of Adams, Tenn. The convention is expected to bring to- gether more than 5,000 growers who will take steps looking toward a close organi- zation and will discuss the price of the dark tobacco grown in the section. A similar meeting was held in Guthrie somewhat less than a year ago and on this occasion the planters hope to form a definite organization. lithographic art, and was specially de- signed, the principal features being the portrait of Julian Hawthorne, and a fac simile of his signature. The V. A. Collins Cigar Co. , which is the manufacturer of this brand, was orig- inally started at McSherrystown, Pa., in 1898, but about the first of the present year was removed to Marietta. It is in- corporated, and the principal executive officers are A. Z. Sherk, President, and E. L. Nissley, Treasurer, Mr. Sherk is a practical cigar manufacturer, having formerly been connected w i t h T. J. Dunn & Co., Philadelphia, and .Mr. Nissley is well known as an extensive packer of leaf tobacco at Florin, Pa. Several traveling representives are em- ployed to visit the wholesale trade. Since the incumbency of the present officials the company has made marked progreas and the products are con- stantly coming into the greater promi- nence of which they are justly deserving. The factory is operated strictly on the union system, and their products bear the Blue Label of the Cigarmakers' In- ternational Union o f America. The goods are not offered or sold on senti- ment, but on the strength of their quality ana general attractiveness. The facili- ties possessed are excellent, and the lo- cation is said to afford a large number of specially skillful workmen, who seem to have manifested a deep and earnest interest in the success of this one of Marietta's important industries, and the company is thoroughly appreciative of its employes' endeavors on its behalf, and both seem to be truly working in har- mony and union. .

THIRD ST MILADCL^HIA ^£=== ON this page The Tobacco World will make suggestions for catch adver- tising and window display from time to time and requests that its readers send, for comment, criticism or reproduction, ioeas that have been tried or are pro- posed. A scheme which might not be advis- able to a retailet in one set of circum- stances might be the precise thing needed by some other man differently situated. You may have tried an idea which seemed good but somehow failed to bring results. Send it along and we will try to explain it. Again you may have tried something in a doubtful frame of mind and found that it brought lots of busi ness. We would like to hear about it. We want this page to contain some- thing which will prove of value to every retailer. Will you help us do it? Do you believe in a freak window? Do you think a sandwich man sells anything? What was the most successful scheme you ever worked? take a dozen or less from the box and leave the rest on the counter. Dealers found the problem annoying and a good many gave it up. Some stores, notably the cut price stores in New York, give a box of matches with every purchase of smoking goods, usually a big box of long matches that the majority of men wouldn 't carry around with them for money. Here is a suggestion which ought to be valuable, particularly to the dealer who makes a specialty of match bo>es. Lay in a stock of matches ot two or three different lengths suitable for mos: sizes of pocket match safes and have them in big, ornamental boxes near the front of the store or close to the match box display. Put a neat sign above them reading something like this: ,r— — ^^ IF YOU'VE GOT A MATCH BOX FILL IT UP If You Haven't, We'll Sell You Onk, and KEEP IT FILLED. *^ '* That sign will sell many a match box and be a great convenience to your cus- tomers beside. • • • NOVEL WINDOW DISPLAY. A DEALER in Davenport, la., has put up a novel display, by arranging in front of a high pile of cigar boxes several pairs of cast off shoes, and a sign stating "These shoes were worn out in running here for cigars." Here is a Catchy Window Sign. 'pHE VICTOR THORSCH COMPANY, of Allentown, Pa., is sending the ma- terials for a very attractive and catchy window sign to advertise the Bachelor Cigar, a 5 cent brand. The accompanying cut shows how the window appears when the sign is affixed. The customer receives an envelope containing a sheet of paper on which is printed the letters in the form they are to be pasted on the window. This sheet is MORE MATCHES HANDY. TN a St. Louis paper, some man kicks because when he happens to be out of matches, he has to carry his cigar around unlighted, or else go into the nearest cigar store and bone the clerks for a light. He says that a good many of the cigar stores aren't selling matches any more and it's embarrassing for a man to walk into a strange store and secure a favor without buying anything. Of course he can buy a cigar but he may be carrying all he needs at the time and when he finds himself face to face with the same predicament an hour or two later he's got to buy another cigar, and so on. It is a fact that the majority of retail dealers don't care to bother with any match trade because they consider the penny trade a nuisance. Beside that held up on the outside of the pane, and the letters of the sign, black on a brilliant matches arc so cheap now-a-days that yellow background, are pasted one by one on the inside of the pane directly back a cent's worth is more than most of us of the letters on the white sheet. The effect is very striking and ought to be a good would care to carry in our pockets at once, seller. The letters are gummed on the surface so that the whole operation is a very Frequently a man would pay his cent, simple one. The letters are put out by the Tablet & Ticket Company, of Chicago. GOT RELIGION AND BURNED CIGAR STOCK. /^UT in Findlay, O. , they have been holding revival meetmgs of the strenuous order and according to ac- counts the mourner's bench has been forced to work overtime. Among those who were urged to a realization of their careless, deplorable past was Thomas Shannon, a Findlay grocer. Mr. Shannon' s conversion was so thor- ough that he at once made a vigorous search of his soul for all kinds of sins and soon brought himself face to face with the awful truth that he had been selling cigars. He invitee his pastor and some of the church members around to his store and made a bonfire in front, to which he fed his tobacco stock worth a few hundred dollars. The grocer gazed radiantly at the holocaust and as the embers died away, exclaimed tragically: •' 'Tis done, 'tis done, the great trans- action's done." Among those present were certain ir. reverant persons who claimed that the odor of burning brains mingled with that of the tobacco, but these reports may be jaundiced. • • • SOME LOCAL RETAIL NOTES. H. G. Cutler, of 20S Arch street, is pushing two new five cent brands which he says are good sellers. One is the Cutler Special manufactured by Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. , and the other is the Havana, a Portuondo cigar. A six cent brand which is selling rapidly is the Grand Union Bouquet. The Retail Cigar and Tobacco Deal- ers' Association of Philadelphia has ap- pointed a committee to draft an anti- coupon bill to be presented at the next session of the Legislature. An attractive window display of the Red and Blue, a 5 cent cigar, is being made at Moore's store, Second and Market streets, Philadelphia. William H. O' Keefe, on South Fourth street, Philadelphia, is pushing the Uni- versity Ribbon, a 5 cent cigar, with an attractive display. The Dalton»store at Fifth and Chest- nut streets received a new brand in stock called La Delicia, which sells at from $7. 50 per hundred up. C. A.

Five Thousand Cases of Tobacco for York County — Business Better with Cigar Faictories— New LesLf Comp«Lny Ch&rtered. York, Pa., Sept. 19, 1904. Of the estimated acreage of i, 700 acres of tobacco grown in York county, a large portion has now been housed, and it is not believed that more than 5,000 cases will be produced. In the Druck Valley, which is the principal tobacco growing section, the crop suffered considerable damage, as it also did in the vicinity of Goldsbero. The cigar trade is reviving nicely, and most factories find an improvement in business, although during the past few weeks there were less than the usual number of new licenses taken out in this division of the Ninth District. These new ones were: Geo. W. Fillmore, Bittersville; Wm. Eater York; Charlotte Zarfoss, York; J. E. MilUr .*;: Co., New Oxford, and S. A. Conaway, Dallastown. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has granted a charter to the American Leaf Tobacco Co , of McSherrystown, Pa., with a capital of §50,000. The ofticers are S. L. Johns, President; Chas. F.

Frank Ruscher Fred Schnaib«l Supreme Court Decides that Tobacco is The Butchers The Supreme Court of Minnesota has sustained t h e constitutionally o f the Sunday closing law which admits necessi ties, tobacco among them, as exceptions, except where the sale is conducted in a place where liquor is for sale. The opinion handed down by the court is very explicit in the matter of tobacco and distinctly classes it as a necessity. The question was raised by P. C. Hoff- man, a butcher, who brought suit to show that he had been unfairly discrimi- nated against in not having been per- mitted to sell his meat on Sunday morn- ings when on the same street fruits, con- fectionery and newspapers were being sold. The plaintiff in the case insisted that there was no intelligent or apparent reason for a distinction which allowed the free sale of cigars, candy and to- bacco, while uncooked meats were for- bidden. The Supreme Court's opinion, which sustains the tobacco shop, follows in part : "The purpose of the Sunday law in this opinion was held to be not to enforce religious observances, but in the exer cise of legislative judgment to protect those who were engaged in servile labor from imposition by the public or em- ployer upon their enjoyment of rest and recuperation, in furtherance of what has been expressed in the sentiment of a modern aphorism that 'he who ordained the Sabbath loves the poor. * a Necessity and Comes Within the Law — are Excluded. "Very many of the population of our cities would not have the day of rest which the Sunday laws ati'ord were it not lor these provisions which have made this manifestly just and humane purpose the subject of legislative cognizance and protection, and if it can be found from a consideration of the way in which the people of our cities live and enjoy the repose and relief from labor every sev enth day accorded by the Simday law, and that there is to any sensible extent or degree a distinction in secuiing the pur- poses of the law between the keeping; open of butcher shops, grocery stores and the sale of uncooked meats or family supplies, that does not apply to the sale of confectionery and tobacco, the wisdom of the selection designated in the law is with the legislature and not the courts. "It may be said here quite as perti nently as in State vs. Petit, supra, that the object is to give essential and useful benefits to employees from compulsory servile labor Sunday, and it is not to be disputed that a custom which existed of making purchases of meats and the pro- hibited merchandise on Sunday required the employment during portions of that day by a large number of clerks and la. borers who are engaged in and about these establishments when they serve the public, and that the purchase of meats and groceries, without extra disadvant age, be made on the previous day. "This may impose some extra burden upon the patrons of such establishments as well as the proprietors, but it will, as it seems to us, obviously relieve the persons to be protected to a much greater extent than in the sale of confectionery and to- bacco, and give the desired benefits more generally than in the occupation RUSCHBR <& CO.

Tobacco has come to be. among a very large portion of the respectable people of this country, a necessity in the apprecia- tion of appropriate Sunday rest and re- creation which cannot in a practical way be provided for beforehand in the suit- able enjoyment of the period of recupera- tion and rest which makes the day of rest beneficial. "In view of these differences, as well as the number of those engaged in these occupations, the nature and character of the business, it seems apparent that dis- tinction exists between the occupations distinguished in the statute, so far at least as to make the classification therein rea- sonably obvious in the judgment of the court, and we cannot say that unusual favoriteism is so clear that we must con- vict the legislature of the violation of the constitutional provision invoked for the petitioner." SWISHER BROS. BRANCH OUT.

The Swisher Bros, firm is one of the largest cigar manufac luring conceins in the State of Ohio. — The Apollo Cigar Co., ofCincinnati, 0., has been incorporated with a capital of $15,000.

The Havanai Tobacco Company Protests to the President Ag«k.inst Secretary Armstrong's Order. The modification by Secretary of the Treasury Armstrong of the new import scamp has so roused the ire of the Ha- vana Tobacco Company, commonly called the trust, that a fierce controversy is beiiig waged in the hope that the Sec- reiiry may be induced to rescind his action. The Havana Tobacco Company, which controls a ^majority of the factoiies in Cuba and imports largely, is directly af- fected by the changing of the import stamp which makes the imported product as iiiconspicuous as the domestic. The Tobacco World of last week pre- dicted that pressure would be brought to bear on Secretary Armstrong and advised the independent trade to send congratu- latory messages to the Treasury Depart- ment at Washington with a view to off- bCUmg the effect of the protest by the importing company. ^ !->t v Letieis and telegrams poured in on Mr. Armstrong, the only negative note being the complaint from the Havana Company. It isnow understood that the latter concern has appealed direct to President Roosevelt from Secretary Arm- strong* s decision, and as things look now^ the Havana Tobacco Company will be given a hearing in New York shortly. rhe independent manufacturers are determined not to be balked at this late day, however, and will fight hard to have the new stamp put in operation. Reso- lutions from the National Cigar Leaf To- bacco Board of Trade, the Havana Cigar Manufacturing Association of the Inited States and other organizations have been prepared protesting to the President against the revoking of the order.

Stanley Winget, who is looking after the interests of a number of Penn- sylvania cigar manufacturers, at the St. Louis Fair, has succeeded in getting himself disliked by an esteemed contem- porary which declares in rather unspar- ing terms that Mr. Winget is a crook. The accused man's answer appears in another column of The Tobacco World and its writer does not yet seem to realize how cgregiously he lias been blundering. Reading Mr. Winget's letter, which he sent to merchants for money, it did not require a prejudice to help along the be lief that the man's scheme was off color. The most charitably inclined could be lieve only that he was a fool or a knave. It seems fairly evident now that he is not a knave, but it is probably but once in a lifetime that a business man can word an important letter so ambiguously. Of course the idea that anyone could buy up medals from the St. Louis Fair Judges, at a little less than |ioo apiece, is too ridiculous to consider, but at the same time, many things have been idly promised^when money was needed, and Mr. Winget's acquittal does not rest on the fact that he would be promising what he could|not possibly perform. It is a fact that the sum which he first assessed his clients for expenses was hopelessly insufficient, and Mr. Winget was simply sending along a round rob- bin for more fimds. But what a peculiar lourd robin! THE IMPORTERS ARE HOWLING. A howl of execration has gone up from the importers of boxes of cigars, i. e. The Havana Tobacco Co.. who will lose directly if the new and inconspicuous import stamp goes into operation, and as The Tobacco World predicted last week all kinds o f pressure i s being brought to bear on the officials in power to induce them to preserve the old stamp. But the doniesiic manufacturers have awakened to the fact that they are enti- tled to a run for their money and are aroused to a point where they are willing to fight hard for their rights. The battle goes merrily on and the Fiesident has been appealed to. What will he do? It is awkwardly near No- vember, and Mr. Roosevelt has been stepping lightly of late. Judging by the manufacturers who have already promised displays at the exhibition of independent goods in Horti- cultural Hall next month, and by the letters denoting support which are reach- ing the management every day, the ex- position will be a gratifying success. Certainly failure of the project would reflect most lamentably on the manufac- turers and not on the Retail Cigar Deal- ers* Association of Philadelphia, for the reason that it would indicate nothing but a pitiable lack of self interest. Happily the goodly list of firms which have pledged their support can safely be taken as proof that the exhibit is now on certain ground. NOTICE TO THE TRADE. L. G.

[From The Wot Id' s Corre?pondent.] W-ishington, Sept. 19, 1904. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Armstrong gave a heating at the New York Custom Hr.u.e on Saturday in the matter of the new import stamp to the representatives of the Havana Tobacco Co. and to a delegation of the independ ent manufacturers, leaf dealers and retail cigar dealers of the United States. The Havana Tobacco Company was repre sented by Junius Parker, Josiah T. Wil cox, secretaty of the American Tobacco Co., and John B. Cobb, one of its direc- tors. In spite of the fact that the matter has been agitated for at least thiee jears, the representatives of the trust declared that they had not heard of it until two weeks ago. Secietary Armstrong thought the protest was rather belated and after listen- ing to their^ arguments, all of which he said had already been considered, he de clared that he saw no reason to modify his order. Among the independents present were A. B. Bijur.j president of the National Cigar' Leaf Tobacco Association; R. A. Bachia and Y. Pendas, of the Havana Cigar Manufacturers' Association of the UnitediStates; B. Neuberger, of the New York^Leaf Board of Trade, and Robert E. Lane, president of the Cigar Dealers* Association of America. The report that President Roosevelt will countermand the order of the Treas- ury Department is given no consideration and it is believed that the stamps should be in the hands of the customs officers within three weeks. Impressive.'Ceremonies Mark the Laying Id Rest of the De&d Manufacturer. Funeral services over the body of Richard T. Gumpert, the last member of the original firm of Gumpert Brothers, was held on Thursday of I .st week, at the late residence 4207 Baltimore avenue. The service was most impressive, the floral tributes magnificent and the dead manufacturer was l.id to rest in the sight of a large gathering of his former intimates. The services were conducted by the Rev. Edwin Heyl Delk, of a Phil- adelphia Lutheran Church and beside the relatives, a number of business men were present from New York and the at- tendance from among the Philadelphia manufacturers was large. Interment was made in Holy Cross Cemetery. The pall bearers who had been selected from those who had been closest to Mr. Gumpert. were Max Bamberger, of the firm of L. Bamberger & Co. ; Wm. H. Cook, Ivan Fox, optician at Eighteenth and Chestnut; Charles Eisenlohr. of Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. ; John H. Boltz, of Boltz, Clymer & Co.; Joseph G. Vetter. lein, of Vetterlein Bros. ; Isador L. Langs- dorf, of A. Roig & Langsdoif, and Wm. Corry. A number of Philadelphia manufac tuiers sent a bunch of sixty-two beautiful American Beauty roses, one flower for each year of Mr. Gumpert' s life, a broken wreath was received from the office employes and salesmen and the factory emplojes presented the family with appropriate resolutions handsomely engrossed. Beside these were several other tributes. ^ i m 1 C) ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦^ I Philadelphia Tobacco Trade. | ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦^♦♦'♦"^'•'♦'♦'♦^♦♦♦^ ♦•♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•♦♦♦♦♦♦'♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A. M.

Mr. Mittleman has just issued his preliminary announcement which calls attention to the fact that in TheCores MaTdrilTc^., manufacturers view of his experience he proposes to ^f Havana cigars, whose Philadelphia introduce an innovation.

THE TOBACCO WORLD »f The Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, of the City of New York, go — g6 Wall Street. Nbw York, Sept. ist, 1904. Dear Sir : ¥00 are doubtless aware of the recent important decision of the Court of Appeals of this State unanimously holding the so-called estimating or guessing contests for prizes, such as have been used to adver- tise the trust brands of cigars, to be criminal offences against the lottery laws. This decision was secured by the action of the Lkap Tobacco Board of Tradb of the City of New York, which retained counsel to test the matter. It is the first victory along this line yet attained, and gives us a weapon through which further results may be achieved. As the Board invites your co-operation in ite further efforts, your attention is directed to the history of this past prosecution. Mr. Samubl H. Guggbnheimbr, our counsel, advised us that owing to the stiff contest we might expect, and certain legal precedents of inferior courts, the case, if undertaken at all, must be carried to our highest court. The District Attorney was interested in the matter and the Editor of the U. S. Tobacco Journal was arrested for publishing the Florodora Tag Co.'s advertisement. On habeas corpus his release was ordered by Judge Davis. This was aflfirmed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, but by a divided court of three tC' two and in an opinion which showed a realization of the importance of the case. On appeal to the Court of Appeals at Albany both lower courts were reverted and the scheme declared a lottery in an exhaustive opinion in which the entire bench of seven judges concurred and which, we are advised, will probably settle the law throughout the country, even outside this State. Prosecutions of this kind, it will be perceived from the foregoing, require patience, persistence and money. As it is purposed to follow up the advantage so far gained, this Board earnesly asks your finan- cial co-operation, and requests that whatever sum you desire to subscribe toward defraying future necessary expenses, will be promptly forwarded to the Board's Treasurer, Mr. F. Ceanz, 142 Maiden I*ane. Respectfully, New York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, BENNO NEUBERGER, Fres. J. H. STILES . . . Leaf Tobacco. . . YORK, PA, a€ THE TOBACCO WORLD We have the U-gzs^ *wscrtow T.

C. : At a meeting of the Retail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers' Association, of Philadelphia, held this day, the following lesolutions were unani- mously adopted: Resolved, That we heartily en- dorse the action of the Assistant Sec- retary of the Treasury, in ordering a change of customs stamp from its present conspicuousness to one less conspicuous, as meeting the full re- quirements of the law, but without making the same inimical to the in- terests of our growing domestic in- dustry. Resolved, That we urge the As- sistant Secretary to stand loyally by his original view of justice and fair- ness to our domestic manufacturers of clear Havana cigars, and 1 Resolved further. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Department at Washington. The exhibition of independent goods to be held in Horticultural Hall, next month, was discussed. Chairman Bock, of the Committee of Arrangements, re- porting gratifying progress. Mr. Bock said that t h e present returns practi- cally assured the success of the affair but suggested that another meeting be called to wind up several details. No definite date was set for this.

The cigarmakers say that if the saloon keepers refuse to buy the goods, reasons are soon found for the revoking of their license. Cigar manufacturers were ques- tioned by the Labor Council's commit- tee, and they declared that their business had suffered a decline of 50 per cent since the Commissioner started to drum up trade by virtue of his office. Some small manufacturers have gone out of business. Members of the Council say that if the Mayor does not call his puppet off they will withdraw their political support. SUBWAY TAVERN'S UNION CIGARS. Bishop Potter's Subway Tavern is at loggerheads with the Central Federated Union, which charges Joseph Johnson, manager of the tavern, with selling cigars CIGARMAKERS IN TWO CITIES HAVE At the time of the frost I think fully ten per cent of the tobacco crop was in the fields, all of which was destroyed. Previous to that time we had two very severe hail storms, which destroyed fully one-third of the crop. With the hail and frost, I think it is safe to say, that our farmers have suffered a loss of fully one-half the crop. Very respectfully yours, John D Skii.bs. Lancaster, Pa.. SepL 24. Editor Tobacco World: I consider the loss of tobacco in Lancaster county by the recent frost as serious. I could not make a fair estimate at this time, but I do not believe that 1 100, 000 would nearly pay the loss. It is a question in my mind if Pennsylvania will have more than half a crop, owing to the pre- vailing circumstances this year. Yours truly. I. H. Weaver. Lancaster, Pa , Sept. 26, 1904. Editor Tobacco World : If there had not been any hail or frost in Pennsylvania, the crop of 1904 tobacco would have yielded about 50,000 cases. About 20,000 cases have been partially destroyed by hail and the frost has entirely ruined about 5.000 cases. The frost has covered parts of every section. Respectfully Yours, J. Gust Zook. Western Cigarmakers Protest to Mayor Against Police Commissioner Who Sells Non-Union Goods. The cigarmakers of San Francisco have lodged a vigorous protest against Mayor Eugene Schmitz because they say he without union labels. Mr. Johnson declares that every cigar in his place was made by the union and says that the Central Federated Union went off at half cock. They should at least have made an investigation before hurl- ing accusations. ITROUBLE WITH UNION. Chicago Central Labor Union Declares "Knights of Labor" Label Unfair- Strike in Winconsin.

POSTAL CARDS TO HELP TRADE. A DETROIT druggist, who makes a specialty of his cigar case, which indeed many druggists are doing now-a- days, drums up business by the aid of postal cards, printing his ad on the cards and sending them to possible customers. The postal card idea is good enough when properly worked, for the reason that this form of advertising is by no means in frequent use and when gotten up in an attractive, appealing way is almost certain to command attention. The Detroit man's method seems clumsy, though, and in many cases would accomplish nothing but its own defeat. In imitation of a letter (not on the sub- ject of cigars) written to a Detroit phar- macy paper, he prints the following on his cards : MISTER MAN ; dere is one place for cigars to buy in dis town. Did you i t know dat places was mister jon smith his drug stores he have de good cigars more as all oder stores, dis card present by dose man who is name on oder side is for five cent cegar good. other matter. How much more attention It would have received if it had read >omewhat in this form : HAVE A CIGAR WITH US. Our new 5 cent cigar is the best you can get for the money. We can prove this to you. We ask you to present this card at our store and smoke a on us. You will be doing the favor, not we. It takes about three seconds to read this and your reason for giving away a cigar is at once apparent. Any man could pass that card over the counter with no loss of self respect The other way sounds cheap, and is cheap, and only a lot of cheap sports would take up with the offer. • • • STOLE A BVRNING CIGAR LIGHTER It has long since been recognized by hotel, restaurant keepers and thcr pa- trons to the public comfort that nothing small enough to be carried away is safe from a "souvenir hunter." In a goodly proportion of cases there is room for a fair belief that the intrinsic value of the article lifted has considerable influence with the collector. In the case of the Hotel Bellevue, of Philadelphia, that hostelry of the Quaker City socially elect which passed out of ex- istence last week, it is easy to see the value to an old patron of any little arti- cle which might serve to stimulate remi- niscence when the Bellevue becomes nothing but a dim memory. Forks, spoons, salt cellars, any little thing of that sort would serve, and did for the clerks reported that not only a large quantity of silver ware was taken but articles of bric-a-brac and nearly everything detachable. The most unique purloining that was done, however, lay in the mysterious disap- pearance of a cigar lighter, which was set up on the counter directly in front of the clerks. One moment i t was burning away merrily, the next, presto chang-o, no cigar lighter. No smell of smoke, no oder of burning, and a minute later a group moved away from the counter. But twenty years from now, when some old bachelor sits in his den and contem- plates that little lighter he can muse and philosophize on the number of famous faces past and gone that the dull, little glow once lighted up as they were bent over t. • • • SPEND A QUARTER. GET A SHINE. A NOVEL SCHEME to attract trade, which has been tried long enough to prove of some value as a trade catcher, is to be seen in Moore's Philadelphia store at Second and Market streets. Above the cash register is a neat sign reading: SHOES FREE SHINED WITH EVERY 25c PURCHASE Back in the store is a comfortable chair with all the up-to-date appurtenances, and if the customer doesn't care for a shine just at that time he receives a ticket good until used. Handsome Label for ''Matthew Carey.'' «' - » j This card is good ' I for a 5c 1^ cigar at Smith's. In the first place there has been such a deluge of impossible alleged Dutch dialect lately that the average man not only does not laugh when he sees it but is heartily sick of it. Aside from this, a postal card ad to have weight must go straight to the heart of its subject. The instant it becomes complicated it fails of its purpose. All that there is on this card is the offer to give away a cigar. Not one man in twenty-five will attempt to puzzle out the 'T'HE above cut shows the label of a new 5 cent cigar gotten out by Bear Bros., of Zion's View, York Co., Pa. The label is embossed in colors in a very attractive manner, and the cigar is proving a good seller. This firm also manufac- tures the well known Bear and Cub brands. CHEER. VP. IT NIGHT BE WORSE. A man's peace of mind in this world depends altogether on his attitude to- ward things in general and especially on his business affairs. A Tobacco World man went into a couple of retail stores this week and in the course of conversa- tion said : •• Well, how's business ?" "Oh, there's nothing doing at all," said one man. " The snap's all out of everything." And then, with a glibness which proved frequent reiteration, he proceeded to prove there never was such hard times, and that the man is lucky, nowadays, who gets enough to clothe himself. The other man said : "Good enough to suit me. May not be so rushed as I have been, but I'm carrying a handy little bit of trade, and I haven't any kick at all." As a matter of fact both men were do- ing about the same business, and the second man' s hopefulness wasn' t merely a bluff. He was always wiUing to see the best side of it. But these two men typify two distinct types in the business world that you meet everywhere, one ex- tracting the gall and the other the sun- shine. One man wants to commit suicide be- cause he is not constantly forced to sell cigars with both hands, and the other, if no other reason appears, feels thankful that one arm is getting a little rest. • • • JAMAICA RUN KEEPS STOCK NOIST. TT is of much more importance than most retailers appreciate to keep the cigars in the show cases properly moist. Every cigar man knows, of course, that the best cigar that was ever made could be ruined by being allowed to get too dry, but in putting an ordinary moistener in the case and letting it go at that, many dealers consider that they have done their duty. Oftimes customers will find their cigars crumbling in their pockets and will simply go to some other store without asking any explanations. A Western man recommends a scheme which is probably not generally known. Simply put a little Jaimaica rum in the water used, about an ounce to the half pint. This will keep the ordinary brands of cigars in addition to imported Havanas so that they will always be in proper con- dition to sell. Aside from the commercial end of this question there seems to be another phase to be considered. Apropos of the pres- ence of moisture in tobacco, no less an authority than the London Lancet de- clares that moist tobacco is of importance to public health, since as the combustion of tobacco containing a large proportion of moisture is impeded, while the gen- eration of vapor is increased, so are the chances of the poisonous principal being carried into the mouth diminished.

ITie movement in the local factories is gradually assuming its accustomed ac- tivity during the fall season, and there is less complaint heard, as even the United States seem to have fallen in line and sent better orders to our manufacturers. H. Upmann & Co.— Don Teodoro Gar- bade was in the Vuelta Abajo last week and secured 450 bales of "tierra liana" tobacco for their factorj-. They shipped 800,000 cigars, and their factory is now running at full speed. CitU'jutes, Fernandez & Co. are ve»*y contented, as orders for the Flor de Ta- liacos de Partagas y Cia are arriving in increasing numbers from all directions. Rabell, Costa. Vales & Co. are doing an excellent business in their Ramon Allines and Cruz Roja factory, and in order to meet the demand for their cigars al over the world they have also bee;i buying quite heavily of the choicest Vegas from the "tierra liana' 'district of the Vuelta Abajo. Behrens A: Co. say that orders are coming in very freely at the Sol factory, and when your correspondent called upon them he saw some goods which were be- ing made for Yahn & McDonnell, of Philadelphia, which were exceeilingly fine. Their agents, the National Cub i Company, will shortly be able to show samples of the new brands of the Sol factory, Sol Seleccion p]rspecial, costing from $100 up to $1500 per thousand, and which are equal to the finest goods pro- duced by any factory in Havana. J. F. Roeha & Co. expect to move into their new factory in San Antonio de Los Banos by the end of this week. They have l)iH*n so pressed for room that they have not been able to execute their or- ders as they would have liked to have done.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE IM- PORT STAMP HEARING. A considerable portion of this issue is given over to a report of the hearing in the matter of the new import stamp, which was held before Acting Secretary of the Treasury Taylor in Washington on Saturday morning, and to which The To- bacco World sent a special representative. While the question without doubt has grown to be the most important one with which the tobacco trade is now concerned, no one who was not present at the lengthy debate before Mr. Taylor and were en- abled to listen to the free and entirely frank expression of opinion frohi both sides can appreciate how vital the issue has become. The proceedings commenced formally and rather stiffly but in a short time both sides, warmed by their fencing for posi- tion, rapidly tossed the ball back and forth with a vigor little short of bitter. At times there was good humor and even laughter but no one for a single moment lost sight of the point to be gained. Men who have been present at all similar hearings of importance for the past twenty years declared at the close of this one that it was the most remark- able debate of its kind they had ever heard; that in no other case has such invincible determination, organized at- tack and eager retaliation been displayed by both sides. Indeed the contestants made it so apparent that the matter was of the utmost seriousness that Acting Secretary Taylor was plainly surprised. The Havana Tobacco Company's air of easy confidence was soon bombarded by the independents into a position of angry defence which was by no means bene- fited by Secretary Armstrong's own pithy explanation of his act. After the hearing both sides expressed hope. Whatever the decision, the rela tive situation of the trust and the inde- pendents to each other can never again be quite the same. The precedent es- tablished will be too valuable for either cause. SECRETARY ARMSTRONG VERSUS SECRETARY TAYLOR. At the import stamp hearing in Wash- ington on Saturday, it was plainly made to appear to Assistant Secretary Taylor that more depended on the result than perhaps appeared on the surface. The political significance of the occasion was made manifest for the idlest auditor to comprehend and Mr. Roosevelt will indi- cate his decision with a full knowledge of the situation. There were those present from among the opponents of the Ameri can Tobacco Company, representatives from the highest to the humblest ranks of the trade; froTi the capital and from the labor. Mr. Taylor, in inviting free speech, suggested that each speaker preface his remarks by announcing his name and whom or what he represented. And one after another of the independents took the floor and grimly delivered himself of a list of business houses, trade organiza- tions, trade unions, whatever it might be forming his constituents, serving to show that the delegation had been selected to represent enormous interests. Mr. Parker, the Havana Tobacco Company's counsel, was surely outclassed in numbers if not in eloquence. While Mr. Taylor naturally could not be said to have taken a side, he certainly did not seem particularly enthusiastic over the attitude of the independents and till Mr. Armstrong spoke, was disposed to put upon them the onus of proof. Mr. Armstrong, although he also stated that he took no sides, struck a decided blow for the cause of the independents and as a matter of course his own justifi- cation. That he felt the situation keenly was evident as was no less so the fact that he did not propose to recede one jot from his stand. The writer has positive information that Mr. Armstrong will not revoke his Representatives of the Trtde Discuss Price Cot- ting and Rebates. A number of the independent tobacco jobbers of Philadelphiaheldameetingon Wednesday afternoon last, at Logan Hall, 1305 Arch street, and discussed at length certain present conditions of the trade with a view to formulating plans for future development. T. F. Fitzgerald, of West Philadelphia, who for months has been a staunch advocate of independ- ent rights, was chosen chairman. The concensus of opinion indicated the presence of grievances against some of the independent manufacturers as well as the United News Co. which lately entered the field as distributors of cigars and tobacco, and although Manager Frank M. Toppin, of the United News Company was present he took no active part in the proceedings, notwithstanding the fact that it was intimated that his company was selling certain goods cheaper that they could be bought by others at the factory, which fact was causing somewhat of a feeling against them. Several representatives of independent factories acknowledged having sold to retailers at factory prices less 2 per cent, cash discount and with a special rebate of 10 per cent, but claimed that it was done at a lime when they could not get their goods in any other way by reason of jobbers refusing to handle the product. A proposition was made to continue supplying independent jobbers subject to 10 per cent rebate, with an agreement to allow subjobbers 5 per cent rebate, pro vided orders from retailers were first handed in to independent jobbers and a list furnished of such retail dealers as had been given the extra 10 per cent rebate, but no additional orders to be solicited on that score. Representatives of independent fac- tories did not deem it desirable unneces sarily to disturb past relations with those jobbers who were willing to handle their goods, but it must yet be ascertained whether or not such a proposition as is now presented would be satisfactory to all parties concerned. The matter of forming a permanent organization of independent jobbers was considered and there is fairly good pros- pect of its early accomplishment. Tobaicco Output for August. The internal revenue returns from the United States for the month of August show a healthy increase in the output of cigars, cigarettes and tobacco, snuflf only having fallen behind the August figures of 1903, as is shown by the following table: 1903- 1904.

There was a rumor current early this week that the Havana Tobacco Co. has devised a scheme to offset the effect of the new import stamp, should the deci- sion of the Treasury Department go against the company. The meat of the plan as reported was simply this: The Havana Tobacco Com- pany controls a very large percentage of the factories in Cuba, consequently one of the principal industries of that country is dependent upon the prosperity of the company. The Cuban Congress is to be induced to issue an export stamp which in appearance would nearly duplicate the present import stamp. This would be placed on the top of all the boxes coming through the United States Customs and the domestic manufacturers would find their victory an empty one. As a matter of fiict, there is nothing to prevent such an action being taken by the Cuban Congress if it so desired, and if the Havana manufacturers chose to send their goods to our ports so marked, they would have to be allowed through. Section 8 of the Dingley law requires that all packagesof manufactured goods shall be marked in plain English words in a conspicuous place so as to indicate the country of origin and quantity of their contents. There are no foreign goods which come into our customs now which are marked with a stamp in the form of the import stamp, but the markings required by the Dingley law could be made on a s'amp similar in printing and color. It was stated at the Custom House that the United States would have to re- ceive the goods even though the export stamp practically neutralized the effect of the inconspicuous import stamp. The Appraiser at the Philadelphia port said that there was nothing to prevent foreign manufacturers from pasting a stamp all over the top of the cigar box if they so desired, provided it contained the in- formation required by the Dingley law. It could not be learned whether the Havana Tobacco Co. really contemplates such an action but it would seem like a natural move in case of defeat. «%%%%•%• CONTINENTAL TOBACCO CO. MAKES UNUSUAL PROPOSITION. The Continental Tobacco Company is apparently unable to keep up to its busi- ness in the Cremo cigar and has issued the following self explanatory circular. This situation is decidedly refieshing after the number of complaints from vari- ous quarters on hard times and poor business: To Our Customers in the United States: 1 Being over thirty days behind our orders for Cremo cigars, and many of our customers being entirely out, we will consider it a favor if any of our custom- ers who have Cremo cigars in excess of their immediate requirements will let us have them. 2 To compensate you for your trouble, we will allow any direct customer of ours 1 1. 00 per thousand over price paid us for such quantity of Cremo cigars as they may be able to spare in original, un- broken, sealed cases. 3 Kindly wire us on receipt of this the quantity, if any, you can spare, and we will give you shipping instructions. Very truly yours, CONTINKNTAI. TOBACCO COMPANY.. I ( * # • I i A. Bijur for Independents: Unlkss our claims for the mischief worked to domestic cigars are con- ceded, we cannot understand the tre- mendous opposition to the removal of the import stamp. We are driven to think it may be the purpose of those interested to introduce by its aid either inferior cigars from Cuba, or, when Congress shall have removed most of the duty from Phillipine cigars, to in- troduce them without the tremendous outlay for advertising that would oth- erwise be necessary. Washington, D. C, Sept. 24, 1904. Representatives of the majority of cigar and tobacco interests of the United States, and Vice-President J. B. Cobb and General Counsel Junius Parker, of the Havana Tobacco Co., went before Act- ing Secretary of theTreasury Taylor today and debated for nearly four hours over the new inconspicuous import stamp ap- proved by Assistant Secretary Armstrong and protested against by the Havana To bacco Co.. which controls 85 per cent of the Havana importations of this country. The hearing was given by Secretary Taylor to aid the Department to decide whether a change of stamp is advisable, the new stamp, which was already in the hands of the Stationery and Engraving Department, having been held up to await this decision. At the close of the discussion Secretary Taylor, in reply to a request for an early decision, stated that the matter would be considered imme- diately and the action decided upon by the Department announced at the ear- liest opportunity. Until this announce- ment the order for the stamp will remain suspended. Well Known Men Present. There were present for the independent interests Simon Batt, President of the Havana Cigar Manufacturers' Associa •tion; Ysidro Pendas, Louis F. Fromer and H. A. Bock, directors of the associ- ation; Morris S. Wise, counsel for the delegation; A. Bijur, President of the National Cigar Leaf Association ; Daniel Harris, an officer o f the International Cigarmakers' Union; Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor and Vice-President of the Interna- tional Cigarmakers' Union; John Land- street, President of the Independent Manufacturers' Association, aud W. L. Crounse, of the National Cigar Leaf As- sociation. The hearing commenced a few minutes after 10 o'clock and after a half hour of argument as to who should open, the discussion became so warm that no ad- journment was taken for lunch and the last speaker did not finish until 2 o'clock. The independents showed a disposition to emphasize the possible political signifi- cance of a revoking of the stamp, even offering figures to show the number of voters interested. Parker Resents Tactics. This line of action was angrily resented by Mr. Parker who expressed his con- tempt for such tactics. Nevertheless it was made perfectly plain to Secretary Taylor that a multitude of people would demand a very good reason of the De- partment for sacrificing the welfare of many for the convenience of one interest. Mr. Taylor opened the hearing by saying that it was free to all on both INDEPENDENTS FIGHT FOR NEW IMPORT STAMP. Secretary Taylor Listens to a Four Hours' Fusi- lade of Arguments For and Against the New Stamp. Havana Tobacco Company Forced to Open the Debate. Independents Hopeful. sides and that he wished to hear a frank expression of opinion. In this wish he was certainly not disappointed. The Secretary said that the independents as being in the affirmative should open the debate by giving a description of just what was wanted in the way of a new stamp. Mr. Wise, as counsel for that delega aware that Secretary Shaw had ordered any new stamp." Secretary Shaw Ordered Stamp. Here Assistant Secretary Armstrong, who had just come in, interposed: "I showed the plan for the new stamp to Secretary Shaw and he said it was ex- actly right," he stated in decided tones. "Well," said Mr. Taylor, "I wish you ROBERT B. ARMSTRONG, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who incurred the displeasure of the Havana Tobacco Co. by ordering an inconspicuous import stamp. Mr. Armstrong firmly adhered to his position at the heating on Saturday. tion, immediately replied that his clients did not undestand their position to be as the Secretary had stated. "An action has already been taken," said he. "It is up to those on the other side to appeal it We have come here, the same as if a decision had been ren- dered, to answer any new arguments. " " You misunderstand the situation," said the Secretary," "Mr. Armstrong's authority is not absolute. I was not gentlemen would say just what stamp you want" "In further view of Mr. Armstrong's statement we would respectfully protest that the affirmative is not with us," said Mr. Wise. "We regard the matter as closed." "It is not closed," said the Secretary, sharply. "It is just opened." • We are satisfied, then, with the change as ordered by Mr. Armstrong," declared Mr. Wise. Junius Parker for Importers: I AM willing to admit that with the new stamp the practice of refilling would become less prevalent but it is the purpose of the Government to prevent a false article being palmed off on the consumer. There wouldn't have been any complaint if our com- pany hadn't got control of 85 percent of the Havana product Some people are always trying to get a contention into the newspapers as being the trust against the people. Even the trust is entitled to its rights. "There is no order,' ' interrupted the Secretary. "There is an order authorizing tlie new design and ordering it to be substituted for the other," asserted Mr. Armstrong. ' 'There has been no order yet issued as to placing it on the box because the Department of Stationery and Engraving has nothing to do with that part of it" Mr. Gompers then said that he did not consider it necessary to "spar for posi- tion," to which Secretary Taylor agreed, declaring that no advantage would result from technicalities. The order for the new stamp was then read and was in part: "The model submitted by you for the new stamp is returned approved. It is the same general style as the internal revenue stamp, printed in black ink on blue paper of the kind used by the In- ternal Revenue Departmeni." " But that has been revoked by me," said the Secretary. Not Revoked bot Suspended. "Revoked or suspended?" asked Mr. Crounse. "I mean suspended,"iwas the reply. ■ Here Mr. Armstrong, who had been listening impatiently, arose. "1 am here in the position of being overruled," said he, "and I'd like to have the men who want to overrule me state their reasons. " Apparently recognizing that it was up to him, Mr. Parker immediately launched his statement of the Havana Tobacco's case: "We have not been notified of any new stamp," he declared. "The Cuban manufacturers have not been ordered to make any change. I insist that those in favor of the change shall take the affirm- ative." "One minute," broke in Mr. Arm- strong. "Your Mr. Wilcox asked me for information. I wired him that the change had been ordered and as a result of his request granted him the hearing in New York." "The order is now held in abeyance," said Secretary Taylor. "But," spoke Mr, Bijur, "our under- standing is that the stamp has been or- dered and in the absence of proof that it is undesirable, will go into effect" Mr. Taylor negatived this view and turned to Mr. Parker again, who said that he had learned of the situation only through the trade journals. Patkct Sayt Cosgteas Miat Ckasge It. "The stamp now in use has been em- ployed since 1865 when it was ordered by Congress. So Congress should be the one to make any change. The express purpose of this change was to make it less easy to determine whether cigars are imported or domestic, and it undoubedly would make fraud easier.

Mr. Cobb then took the floor and said that it was a decided misapprehension to assume that his company was interested only in imported cigars. "Our domestic manufacture is double our imported and our investment in this country ten times that in Cuba. We claim that any change would work injury to both dealers and consumers, and entail a loss of revenue to the Government of at least |i, 000, 000 a year by the practice of substitution. To demand a new stamp is like asking the Government to stand aside and give an opportunity for these petty frauds. We don't see how the change will benefit anybody except those iwho take 'advan- tage of careless buyers. Change the stamp, and 1 as a consumer have to guess the honesty of every retail dealer I don't know," As soon as Mr, Cobb sat down Mr. Armstrong jumped to his feet "Mr. Taylor," he said, "if you have no per- sonal feeling in this matter I should like to say a few remarks in explanation of my action. 1 am not taking sides but my action has been questioned and I wish to say why I took it, " Hot Shot From Mr . Armstroag "The tobacco stamp was made at a time when the Government found that it required some designation of imported goods, and case goods of all kinds coming through the Appraiser's Stores were marked by the Appraise-s in sten- cil. The stamp was made when there were no clear Havana cigars made in the United States, and when there was nothing here to protect. The stamp ran along until it was discovered that fraud could easily be perpetrated, when it was ar- ranged to place a serial number on in- voices, cases and boxes, so that a fraud could instantly be detected by reference. Since that time the McKinley differential was given in the Custom House which wasdestroyed by the Cuban reciprocity act The stamp had thus become a disticnt dis- crimination against the industry of the United States, which is a perversion of Congress's intention, and the opinion of of the Solicitor General of the Treasury was secured as to a change. He informed us that we had the power to make such a change." "These boxes," said Mr. Armstrong, as he held up a box bearing the old im- port stamp, "will sell readily in New York. There is a market for the empty boxes at from 30 to 80 cents apiece. The conspicuous stamp undoubtedly causes substitution instead of preventing it" Mr. Wise followed Mr. Armstrong, as- serting that the mere fact that a wrong has existed for so many years is no season why it should continue. "We simply ask for justice," he de- clared, "for the industry which has been built up against great set backs." If Reversed. Mast Show Good Reason. Mr. Batt said: "We contend that this discrimination against our industry is the only discrimination made in any branch of trade. We have our ruling and we make our stand on it The proteslants must prove their case. If the action is reversed we shall insist on knowing why." Mr. Gompers then reviewed the cigar- makers industry for the past forty years, saying that it had been a hard contest first for the cigarmakers in the United States to make cigars the same as those made in Cuba. Now they are quite as competent, and some cigars are made in the United States which excel any made in Havana. "We are entitled to a fair and square dea,l" he said, "especially when the American Manufacturers have a new phase of the industry to face, namely the cheap cigars made in Porto Rico and the Philippines. We ask the Government not to give its preference to foreign pro- duct to the detriment of the American made cigar. Under the new stamp the imported cigar would have to sell on its merits and not upon its prestige. The Government assumes the risk of substi- tution on importations of cloth. Why should cigars be selected as the one arti- cle of discrimination ?'* The speaker then presented a table showing the percentage of factories in a number of the States and operatives who will be affected by the ruling. The in- ference was that the administration was committed to protect these voters and must do it. Thonunds of Voters Interested. This is the table, which does not in- clude small factories: State.

Section 8 of the Dingley law was read which in part says: "All articles for manufacture shall re- spectively be plainly marked in plain English words so as to indicate the coun- try of origin and quantity of their con- tents. " Mr. Gompers said that there were enough stamps and marks on the boxes to do that without the import stamp. Thoasands More Employed Mr. Harris said: "The abolition of this conspicuous stamp would mean the employment of 10,000 more cigar- makers." This statement was supplemented by Mr. Gompers who said that in the first four months of the year the union had paid 120,000 in out of work benefits, which was $5,000 more than was paid during the whole previous year. Mr. Parker replied that that was be- cause many manufacturers had removed from New York to Florida. Mr. Landstreet said that bethought it an unusual proceeding for the Depart- ment to hold up the stamp at the regard of one interest only. He then referred to the box stuffing phase. •'Of Coarse They Won't Relll." "Why if we make the stamp so incon- spicuous that it counts for nothing, then of course, they wont refill," broke in Mr. Parker, impatiently. I am willing to admit that the practice would become less prevalent, but it is the purpose of the Government to prevent one article being palmed off on the consumer when he is trying to get another There wouldn t have been any kick if we hadn't got Announcement • ! • Our New CateilogMe of Presents for the period ending Nov. 30th, 1905, Will be Ready for Distribution about Oct. 15th.

Mr. Bijur then delivered a compre- hensive presentation of the situation, after which Mr. Wise, closed for the in- dependents. Mr. Bijur spoke as fol- lows: OH Stamp Ctcates Wrong ImptcssioB. ••The new stamp, will amply secure the consumer desiring to smoke imported cigais, and at the same time, by its com- parative inconspicuousness, no longer place the domestic clear Havana cigar at a decided disadvantage. "The prominent import stamp, of which we complained for some years, was originally attached to the boxes of im ported cigars at a time when there were practically no clear Havana cigars made in this country. Thus the import stamp came to mean that the cigars distin- guished by it were made of all Havana tobacco, and conversely that cigars not come to mean that only the cigar dis- so distinguished were not made of all tiriKuished by it is made of all Havana Havana tobacco.

There was also a good demand for Pennsylvania Broad Leaf with none of- fered. Connecticut 1903 was picked up as fast as offered. Sumatra and Havana and the balance of the market remained about the same, with a fair demand. The Week in Lancaster. Lancaster, Pa. , Sept. 27, 1905. The local leaf trade is still feeling buoyant as a result of the recent activity in this market, and the past week has been another good one. R. K. Schnader & Sons, on West Grant street, sold 1, 100 cases of 1903, and a number of smaller transactions have also been announced. Buyers are continuing to visit this market, the latest arrival being George Berger, of John Berger & Son, of Cincin- nati. Mr. Berger is stopping over at Lancaster on his return from New York. It was not generally known until last week that H. H. Miller, a well known local leaf dealer, had been seriously in- jured about two months ago by a case of tobacco falling on his foot, and in fact it was not thought to be so bad as later de velopments showed, even by Mr. Miller. He has suffered severely from the injury, however, but is now improving nicely. L. E. Ryder reports a fair business at each of his several factories. L B. Good, a cigar manufacturer at Ephrata, was sold out by the sheriff yes- terday, execution having been issued on a judgment note in favor of his brother, and put on record about four years ago. About 18.000 cigars of various grades, five full cases of leaf and eleven broken cases and fifty five pounds, together with factory utensils, were offered for sale, but several cases of seed leaf and one bale of Sumatra were sei/.ed by creditors and re- moved. It is thought he owed from 11,500 to $1,800 for merchandise, princi- pally to New York houses. All the goods actually sold were bought in by Mr. Good's attorney. Jottings From York, York, Pa,, Sept 27, 1904. N. G. Meads, of Red Lion, was last week sentenced in the Adams County Court, to twenty months m jail for counterfeiting a label of the Cigarmakers' International Union, but an allocator was subsequently granted by Judge Rice of the Superior Court at Scranton, and the defendant was permitted to enter bail in the sum of $2, 500. C. H. Stallman & Son, at ii and 13 N. George street, are having a special pipe sale in 25 cent pipes. T. L. Adair, of Red Lion, recently booked orders for a considerable quantity of cigars, and is running a full force of cigarmakers. Not More than Half a Crop Planted by Tennessee Growers. The yield of dark tobacco in Tennes- see, for 1904, will be at least fifty per cent smaller than last year, many of the planters having failed to put a single plant in the ground. In every case the acreage is smaller than usual, and it is hoped that better prices will prevail this year. Last year's crop brought very low prices as the result of a combined movement, but so far this month the market in the distributing centres of this region has been active with prices ruling higher. The offerings were of poor quality but were taken readily. By the way tobacco is moving out of the warehouses it is ex- pected that the stock will be largely re- duced by cold weather. The farmers are beginning to cure. "SUBWAY TAVERN" MAKES A HIT: The El Draco Cigar Manufacturing Co. report very large sales of their Sub- way Tavern 5 cent cigar which was put on the Market shortly after Bishop Potter assisted at the opening of the Subway Tavern in New York. The cigar, which is a very fair 5 cent article sold with most surprising readi- ness, which fact Manager Frank Com- ber attributes to its name. "I have found that the name of the cigar counts for a great deal, " said he, "and the great, sudden sale of this cigar proves it. The Subway Tavern excited the attention of the whole country, and everything under the same name is bound to get attention. " The cigar has a plain, very neat label, and attractive signs of fancy lettering pre- pared to advertise it. CROP SITUATION IN OHIO. Cincinnati, O., Sept. 26. Advices state that the 1904 crop in Miami county promises to exceed the yield of last year, excepting in some sec- tions where hail has done damage. Montgomery county reports that harvest- ing has begun on some of the early planted crops. Seed leaf, Dutch and later fields of Zimmer will not be housed for three weeks. Conditions in Darke county are regarded as unfavorable at this writing. It is said tnat the tobacco is generally of short length, and contains many worm holes, Burley Tobacco Growers Meet.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY Well, the conditions have changed some during the past week, A week ago little tobacco had been sold, but today very many of the largest lots have been sold and at good fair prices, not extrava> gant figures, but at prices that will leave a little margin to the growers. The to- bacco dealers every year have a conven- tion, and their little meetings occur quite frequently, and when they are ready to start out buying tobacco they all start at the same time and work upon regular lines. You don't see one man start out alone and have the whole field to him- self, but when you hear of one you will hear of all who are used to buying in certain localities starting at about the same time, and they offer about the same prices; you don't hear of one paying 20c and another from io(r, 15c per pound. In certain localities the prices will range about 14c year after yaar. Another dis- trict, it may be in the same town, the price to start with will average about 2c per pound higher. Now at the first glance the market seems to be partial to a cer- tain class of growers. But I think not, for the men who sold for 14c get a heavier yield to the acre. Their tobacco is not so light and thin, so in reality they re- ceive about the same amount of money, acre for acre, the town through. Our correspondents write: Hatfield— Sales by J. L Prouix at 8>^ ('ri4c; Harry E. Bardwell, eight acres at private terms; J. L. Wells, five acres at >4/^c; J. A. Ryan, four acres at 15c: D. W. Wells, eleven acres at 14c; F. H.

Conway, Mass.: "The tobacco crop here was all housed last week, and it turned out the best quality from start to finish, and took the most room to hang It that we have had in a number of years. It is curing down very rapidly and seems a nice light color. There were a few buyers in town last week, but no sales. One buyer offered iSc. but was refused, the party looking for 20c." Hadley, Mass.: "Tobacco in this town is now housed, and for growth, quality and whole leaf there was never a better crop grown." North Hadly, Mass.: "The tobacco in this section never looked better at this time of the year than it does now. The early crops are out of danger of pole burn, but have stem rot yet to fear. There have been several crops sold or engaged at prices averaging 17c in the bundle. 1 say 'engaged' for if anything happens to the tobacco the buyers will not take it."

There are but few growing sections that buyers have not been riding in of late but we do not learn that a very large number of contracts have been placed. Buyers of the United Cigar Manufiictur- ers are active in the Orfordville district and in Center this week, closing a num- ber of deals, but there is no general dis- position to push buying in the southern portion of the state. The following sales of Center growers show the limit of prices offered: T. H. Bemis, 6a at 8^ and ic. Albert Koplein, 7a at 8^2 and ic. Mrs. Albright, 4a at 8 and ic. Old leaf is receiving some attention but most of the goods coming to market are of the low grade variety and bring very small prices.

Our receipts this week were 140 hhds, offerings on the breaks. 364 hhds; pub- lie and private sales, 396 hhds. The quality of the offerings* showed no improvement. With an active demand the market was strong on all grades. With reducing stocks everywhere, and the moderate to small crop of 1904 which will be held for much higher prices than the low ones obtained for the 1903 crop, the trend of opinion is, that we are not far off from a steady and full advance in values for what remains of last year's crop Cutting of the field crop has gone on steadily and the bulk of it has been safely housed. As the worm damage is very small, the supply of lugs will be the smallest for some years past. In some sections there were light frosts on morning of the 16th inst but they did no damage.

Haw England and Western Farmer* are Satisfied. But Others arc Not. Crop reports from the country generally indicate that while in Connecticut and the West the growers are particularly gratified with the yield, Pennsylvania and some of the Southern States are by no means so fortunate, the storms and un- seasonable weather having exerted a very deleterious effect. As published in The Tobacco World of last week, there will not be more than a half crop in Pennsyl- vania, although the farmers until two or three weeks ago had been very hopeful. In Kentucky the yield is reported to be about 12,000.000 pounds short, which is practically the same shortage as was re- corded last year, the comparison being made with 1902 and former years. Con- siderable damage was done the young plants by frost, the destruction being greater in Marion county, the centre of the white hurley belt The weather dur- ing the most critical period consisted of unfortunate extremes, the crop being damaged by drouth in some sections and in some others by frost Shelby county was immune and is, said to have the best crop in fifteen years. The cured 1904 crop will begin to reach the Kentucky markets this month, which is a little later than usual. The harvest in Wisconsin is also slow and the tobacco fields cannot be consid- ered out of danger until the end of the first week in October. The rain and cold weather of the middle of Septembe» delayed maturing so that by the last week in September not much more than half the crop was under cover. Much of the early acreage in the Western counties of the State was contracted for at an early date, the liveliest buying being in Craw- ford and Vernon counties. The Vernon leaf is unusually large this year, is more gummy and will yield a heavier cured leaf. The Florida Sumatra crop is housed and curing has begun, the yield having been more than 1,000 pounds an acre, grown one-half shade. The Connecticut crop seems to be about the most satisfactory, as it is de- clared to be nearly perfect. The leaf is perhaps a little too large although every thing this year has grown rank. Much of the crop is broad leaf, little of it being Havana. It is expected that the harvest will be ready for wrappers by February i, which is a full month earlier than usual. The growers this season expect to harvest a crop worth 14,000,000, the Suttield and Poquonock districts leading with crops estimated repectively at 1 1,000, 000 and 1500,000. Growers do not discuss prices very freely although some expect the crop to bring 30c a pound, while others would be satisfied with 20 cents. It was said that a large planter in I'oquonock sold for 26 cents in the bundle, and the price will probably range somewhere between the two first named figures. One dealer stated that 37 cents had been paid, but this is not probable. Thirty cents or less this year would mean more than 35 cents last year, when the pole sweat devastated the leaf.

NEW RULE ON TOBACCO SALES.

The exact quantity must be speci- fied in each instance. BRECKENRIDGE GROWERS MEET. Farmers from Breckenridge county.

The purpose of the organization is to promote the sale of cigars bearing the blue label of the Cigarmakers' Union. WAGES IN TAMPA. A Tampa newspaper has compiled the fact that the aggregate wages now paid out by the cigar manufacturers of Tampa average §175,000 weekly, and are increasing every week. At this rate, when the winter business opens, the pay-roll will soon pass the 5200,000 mark. With such an industry to sustain it the city cannot fail to pros- per. There is probably more money in circulation in Tampa than in any other city of equal population in the country. EXCLUSIVE NEWS OF THE IMPORT STAMP. Daily Pamper Gives Unique Version of Recent Discussion. The fight between the independents and the Havana Tobacco Co. over the import stamp reached such dimensions that all the daily papers gave space in their columns to the conflict As usual, reporters who wrote the stories weie will- ling and anxious, but suffered from their ignorance of the actual situation. It seems to be a deplorable necessity for the daily newspapers to put their feet in it whenever they dabble in trade mat- ters, but there is seldom seen so bad a break as the following which appeared in The Chicago Chronicle, a rather censerv- ative paper, in last Friday's issue. The excerpt is from the introduction of the article : Washington, Sept 29 — Secretary of the Treasury Shaw to-day reached a de- cision in the cigar customs stamp case, which was taken up on account of the complaint of the American Tobacco Co. and other big importers of foreign cigars, who claimed that the recent order abol- ishing the prominent green stamps in- jured their business. The decision has not been made public, but it is understood to be in the way of a compromise. The original order abolishing the big green stamps on the faces of the boxes was made because of representations of manufacturers of domestic cigars to the effect that the importers were using the stamp as a trade mark and that the gov- ernment was being used to foist the busi- ness of these importers to the detriment of home industry. The resulting order substituted a brown stamp, which was to be pasted out of sight on the bottom of the boxes. It may be that the Chicago Chronicle, in its prismatic history of the green and brown stamps, refers to an entirely dif- ferent matter, of which The Tobacco World and the trade in general has not yet learned. If so, the publication de- serves credit for securing a "beat" on the world. What is probably the truth, though, is merely the fact that the Chronicles Washington correspondent is color blind. Mayor Schmitz T&kes No Action Yet. If Mayor Schmitz. of San Francisco, does not take some action at an early date in the matter of the protest made by the Cigarmakers' Union against Police Commissioner Drinkhouse, or if he fails to remove the ofificial, the Union will lay the matter before the Grand Jury, in an effort to prove malfeasance. The Union claims that Drinkhouse, who is distributor in that city for a non- union brand of cigars, uses his office to force saloon keepers to buy of him. %%%%%%%<% United Ci^ar Stores Company Invades Cleveland. The United Cigar Stores Company is opening several stores in Cleveland, O., and* it is said, will in a few days have half a dozen or more places in operation. The company has selected sites for its stores in prominent and expensive neigh- borhoods, and will contest prices with the regular retail dealers. Cleveland dealers say that if the company starts to cut prices there will be a bitter war. . A. O^'-^^® <& Go- <^<^> Havana 123 n. IMPORTERS OF THIRD ST HILAOeLRHIA J. Vetterlein & Co.

All dealers are invited to send, for reproduction on this page, pictures of fancy window displays and new store ideas which they have tried, or proposed ideas which they may wish criticized, BRIGHTEN YOUR. STORE. T^HE majority of dealers who are so situated that they count most on their regular trade and not transient, do not make enough changes around their store; they don't do anything to make their customers take notice. The writer went into a store in a town near Philadelphia a few days ago, and found that it had just changed hands. The new owner said he had been in the business twelve years and had plenty of experience. "Are you pushing anything special ?" asked the writer, looking around at the dead level of rows of boxes, regulation mirror, cigar lighter, four or five chairs, and cuspidors. "Oh, no, " was the answer. "I'm just going to sell 'em what they want Keep a regular line." He also kept a regular line of loafers who had evidently accompanied the store in the deal, two or three of whom filed in as the writer was leaving. Let us hope that the new proprietor does welL But the dealer who expects to make more than a living these days, has got to do something to attract people into his store and into buying what he wants to sell them. Why, an immigrant just off Ellis Island can sell people what they want, and does, when he stands along the street with a collar button stand. Go up, put the money in his hand and take a card of buttons, and he blinks. And that's about all the cigar dealer does who undertakes to sell customers what they ask for. Have some little advertising novehy in the store all the time, so that your trade will be interested. The average man with money in his pocket likes to try new things when they are made to ap- peal to his mind. Plenty of men go through the adver- tising pages of magazines and send for every httle article the advertisement of which excites their curiosity. Whether they want such a thing does not make the slightest difference to them. How much easier to catch such people when they are really in line for tobacco and cigar goods. Suppose you have some new brand of cigar in. You want to do some window and interior advertising. If you haven't anything better, try a card neatly printed, like this: Put this in your window or around the store, and see if it doesn't start a com- fortable feeling of satisfaction, especially if you illustrate the card with a sketch of a happy looking man sitting at his ease at the dinner table smoking one of your cigars. It's an undisputed fact that the sight of any printed matter relating to smoking will cause a smoker to light up» Merely coming across a passage in a novel will start off a good many. If you prefer something more on the sledge-hammer style of advertising, have this card printed: ******5|oMatc***** **************** ■X- ¥ * YOU'LL NEVER. STOP SMOKING. If You Try Our New 5 Cent Brand. A Speedy Soother of Sharpest Sorrow. **************: t WE'VE GOT THE * ¥r THAT F** NOW. 5 It's The * After Dinner Smoke % * Squares You With the World. % *************iM:*******;jafD^:je**j(c*:(c* *************** ********3)C******* If you do much in the pipe line, you ought by all means to call special at- tention to your assortment, for there is nothing so irresistible to the average pipe smoker as an attractive display of hand, some pipes. Don't jumble them all up in a heap, but give them some individu< ality, as every pipe smoker expects his pipe to have. Your advertising wants to be more quiet for pipes. Something like this: CLOSER THAN A BROTHER: Every pipe in this lot — if you like each other — is willing to be a com- rade and counselor, and go with you through your troubles and your joys. This will excite a feeling of comfortable- ness (to coin a word) in the pipe smoker's breast, and he will in nearly every case look the stock over in a favorable frame of mind. ^^===3 HOW TO IMPROVE A HAVANA. TN the matter of cigars, there seems to be a hundred and one methods of getting the best smoke in the best way, and here is No. 102, a borrowed sugges- tion, offered for what it is worth. The man who presented it lit a Ha- vana, puffed sharply two or three times, blew hard into the cigar and then let the fire die out He declared that contrary to general opinion, he believed that a cigar which had been lighted and then permitted to go out, made a much better smoke than when treated in the regular fashion. His plan is to take a few draws at first to get the cigar well heated and then to blow in order to clear all the smoke out and prevent any musty odor. The cigar is then allowed to remain for fifteen minutes or so, and when relighted the flavor is said to be much improved. The suggestion is not accompanied by any explanation, the writer frankly acknowl- edging his inability to frame one up. • • • *T*HE manufacturers oft" e Sweet Violet cigar have issued a souvenir adver- tising booklet which is mentioned else- where. On the back is a catchy scheme consisting of the picture of a child broadly yawning, and under it is the following reading matter: Look Steadily at the Picture while you count twenty-five. If you feel like yawning, light a "Sweet Violet" cigar, and you will soon be lost to the world and its cares as you watch its fra- grant smoke, incense-like, soar heaven- ward. He buys "Sweet Violets" who never smoked before. And having tasted once, comes straightway back for more. THIS CARD IS BOUND TO CATCH YOUR EYE. 'HE PICTURE printed above is a reproduction from a photograph card gotten out by Victor Thorsch Company, of Allentown, to push a cigar. The dealer who received the card hung it up in the centre of his window, and immediately a small crowd gathered. The "human interest" of the picture series is convinc- ing, and will probably act as a good seller. The original card is about five times the size of this cut, and is quite evidently photographed from life. Each picture is convincingly natural, with the exception, perhaps, of the last, which may be a trifle exaggerated. C. A. ROST & CO., AU Grades of Leaf Tobacco, RED LION, PA.

For years he conducted stores at No. 20 Wall street and in the buildings occupied by the Times, the World and the Postal Tele- graph Co., at Broadway and Murray street Within two years he opened stores in the Rossmore Hotel and at Broadway and Thirty-fifth street. The funeral services were held on Thursday at the Church of the Divine Paternity, Seventy-sixth street and Cen- tral Park West.

They have been in business since 1887; their father, Joseph Lederman, died i n February, 1888, and Chas. J. Lederman, one of the partners, retired from the firm about a year ago. Their statement of Jan. i, 1903. showed assets 1102,361 and liabil- ities $22, 500. During the past month it is said they have been closing up the business. A petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Landfield Bros. & Co., manufacturers of cigars, at 178 Green- wich street,.with factories at Tampa, Fla., and Havana, by the following creditors: Julius Marqusee, I544; Rose Wilson, $43, and Louis Grossfield, |6. It was alleged that on Sept. 29, while insolvent, it admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts and willingness to be adjudged bankrupt. Joseph M. Landfield is pres- ident and Harry Landfield secretary and treasurer. The business was started in April, 1899, as a New Jersey corporation with a capital stock of $25,000 and was changed to a New York corporation in February, 190 1. In March last the fac- tory was removed from this city to Tampa and it is said that a month ago suit was begun against the corporation there by a bank of that city for $5,000. It is said that the corporation has been damaged j by fire four times, by the Tarrant explo- 1 sion in October, 1900 next on J»n 15, 1901, when the insurance was $12, 000, then on March 20, 1902, when the dam- age was settled for $3,000, and on March 7, 1903, with a loss of $15,000, which was settled for $8, 000 cash and the dam- aged goods. Judge Holt has appointed ' Robert H. Hutchins receiver of the as- 1 sets on the application of Edwaid M. j Norris, who stated that he had been in- ' formed by Joseph M.

With the fond hope that both the Ha- vana Tobacco Co. and the independents will be pacified sufficiently to run away and play and not bother him any more. President Roosevelt has dictated a decis- ion in the import stamp matter which grants neither all, but each something. The decision which comes from Secre tary Shaw, but is of course indicated by Mr. Roosevelt, allows the domestic man- ufacturers the modest stamp they craved, but as a sop to the trust, decrees that it shall remain of a pinkish red. Though this may seem to some a namby-pamby policy of carrying water on both shoulders, it must be remembered that it takes a mighty cock-sure administration deliber ately to antagonize large interests one month before a Presidential election. Neither side could be considered so much in the wrong that their question was not susceptible of argument and it is possible that the Treasury Department might have reached practically the same decis- ion had the matter been broached after election instead of before. Under the circumstances the final fiat would seem like ample justification for Assistant Secretary Armstrong and a significant victory for the independent interests of the country. Of course, just as Mr Parker said about his imported cigars, when you have your ideas set on one particular thing, and firmly expect to get it you ought to have it and can hardly be ex- pected to be satisfied with anything less. But speaking impartially, it would appear that the least share of grumbling should come from the domestic people. THE AMERICAN TOBACCO CO. HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR. The independent interests of the country are waking up and the gauntlet is being flung down before the American Tobacco Company every other day. Just as the company is finding itself put to a lot of trouble and annoyance in pre serving its interests in the matter of im- ported manufactured goods, there comes news from domestic growing districts of a mighty movement for organization against the trust, participated in by thousands of growers who are so unreasonable as to expect their farms to yield them a living. Not only was the company put to the disgusting bother of going to Washington to defend its comfortably satisfying im- port stamp against the machinations of all the independent manufacturers, job- bers, leaf men and retailerswhodescended en masse on the Treasury Department, but now it must consider seriously this tiresome struggle against its dominion in the south. Truly it is beset on all sides, but we are glad to notice that amid all these tribulations the company preserves intact its sense of humor. All is not lost, so long as we can joke. In an interview with "high officials of the American Tobacco Co ," published in the columns of a southern trade paper, the "high officials," after discussing crops generally, are reported as deliver- ing themselves of this complacently humorous peroration : "You have here,' ' said they, ' 'a section that is naturally greatly blessed, where the farmer can raise cotton and tobacco as well as something to eat. As long as they farm sensibly and do not over-pro- duce either one or the other, there is no reason why the trade should not pay them fair prices for their produce, but if they should over crop, they could not expect the trade to take their stuff at a loss." We have to suggest only that this might have been more broadly funny if they had put it this way: "You have here a section that is natur- ally blessed, where the farmer can raise somethmg to eat as well as cotton and tobacco." Within a month two well known and indeed beloved personages in the to- bacco trade have passed out of this life. Though both had not been in the enjoy- ment of good health, their deaths came suddenly and as a distressing shock to their relatives and friends. Richard T. Gumpert was 62 years old, which in these days of hale and hearty octogenarians, designates him as dying in the prime of life Anthony Schulte was only 46, a young man in appearance, action and ambition. Mr. Gumpert was a manufacturer, Mr. Schulte a proprietor of several retail stores. Both early in their lives built up reputations for not only unquestioned probity, but a keen sense of justice in business dealings. Mr. Gumpert when he died, was abroad in quest of health. Mr. Schulte was about to go West on the same mission. Neither had been con- sidered seriously ill. The mourning for both men is sincere and extends not only as far as they are person illy known but among those who have heard of them and must admire their unblemished career, Mr. Schulte was particularly well known in New York, where he was accepted as an apostle of fiiir dealing and where the locality of his stores, combined with his manly person- ality, won him the friendship of hundreds of newspaper men. DON'T WANT NEW STAMP. Havana. Manufacturers Ask Cuban Gov- ernment to Interfere. Havana, Oct. 3. 1904. Secretary Shaw's decision in regard to the new import stamp is regarded with great disfavor here and the members of the Cigar Manufacturers' Association have urged the government to appeal to the United States against what they con- sider its injustice against them. The manufacturers here consider the decision a complete victory for the United States manufacturers, and declare that the new stamp will assist all the dishon- esty practiced against the American consumer. If no effective appeal is made to the United States, the manufacturers are considering the marking of cigar boxes with a prominent label bearing the sentence, "Made in Havana." ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦■ PROMINENT DEALERS APPROVE EX- POSITION. Hccirty Endorsement of Exhibition of MiLnufaLcfured Good* (o be Held in December. Prominent Philadelphia retail dealers express themselves as being heartily in favor of the exhibition of manufactured goods to be held in Horticultural Hall in December, and believe that the aflfair will greatly help trade both in this city and elsewhere. The exhibition was to have been held during this month, but for various reasons detailed in another column, it was post- poned until later in the year. The following letter has been received by The Tobacco World : Editor Tobacco World: Dear Sir: We take this means of expressing through the columns of your paper, our interest in and our endorsement of the exhibition of manufactured goods relating to the tobacco trade, which is to be held in Philadelphia in December. We believe that such an enterprise cannot fail to attract dealers and consumers generally and will un- doubtedly act as a decided stimulus to trade. We wish to record our selves as being heartily in favor of the proposed exhibition. M. J. Dalton Co. Godfrey S. Mahn Yahn & McDonnell J. M. Anathan Joseph Way Mitchell. Fletcher & Co., Inc. Jno. F.

The Retail Cigar and Tobacco Deal- ers' Association, of Philadelphia, has de- cided, for reasons which they consider vital, to postpone, until December 12, the Anti-Trust Tobacco Exhibit, which was to have been held in Horticultural Hall during the week of October 17. The exhibition, which is to consist of manufactured goods put on the market by independent concerns, of course, de- pends for its success on the nature of the individual exhibits. The more elaborate and complete these could be, the greater would be the effect of the show. While a good sized list of prominent firms had engaged space of the associa- tion and promised to exhibit, it became evident that many manufacturers found this time an inconvenient one for them and considered that they conld not pos- sibly do justice to a display. Promises of support were also received from manufacturers who are conducting exhibits at the St Louis Fair, if the as- sociation could defer its affair until a time when they would be able to ship the same exhibits East. Aside from this it was presented to the association that more general interest would be mani- fested after the election. The committee in charge of the expo- sition declined to make any change in its date unless the idea coincided with the views of those who had already consented to exhibit. Many of these, however, were well pleased with the postponement and practically all of them .have gone along with the arrangement Now that the committee has two more months at its disposal in which to get things into shape, the original plans for the affair will be considerably broadened and the exhibit will in every way be larger than was originally intended.

Mr. Young was afraid this will be done, however, if the American Tobacco Co. can possibly manage it F. Eckerson. Treasurer of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association, thought the decision was a decided victory on the face of it as against the Havana Tobacco Co., and other leaf dealers expressed themselves similarly. Geo. E. Spots, President of the Theo- bald & Oppenheimer Co., expressed himself as quite satisfied with the de cision, and said that the only drawback would be the issuing of an export stamp of a like nature. Charles F. Cores, of the Vicente Portu- ondo Co., said: "It will be a good thing for the trade undoubtedly, and I consider it a completevictory for the independents. If the Havana manufacturers issue an export stamp or mark their boxes prom inently in order to make up for the inconspicuous import stamp, our Con- gress should pass a law prohibiting the entrance of goods so marked. I do not think such a law would be unconstitu- tional. It is on the same principle as when a man puts a rug in front of his door and prints on it 'wipe your feet'" Le Roy Valentine, of A. S. Valentine & Son, also expressed much satisfaction at the outcome of the fight over the stamp, but predicted that the American Tobacco Co. would manage some action in Cuba to snatch away the benefit of the stamp. "We can only hope." he said, "that by that time the domestic cigars will have made such progress that we won't have to care about the stamp.* ' ^^^^^%» NEW TOBACCO COMPANY IN SOUTH AFRICA.

THEOBALD A OPPENHEIMER ROBBED. Buri^lars Blow Factory Safe Into Pieces and Secure Contents. Burglars gained entrance to the factory in Telford operated by Theobald & Op- penheimer Co. on Monday night and after blowing the safe into smithereens, got away with the contents. So far, there is not a single clue to the identity of the robbers and the firm is unable to deter- mine whether the intruders were familiar with the interior of the building. The Telford factory is a handsome three-story building and the safe was considered practically burglar proof. It was a wreck when the burglars finished with it Geo. E. Spots, President of the company, stated that the loss was not great, the marauders having secured nothing but a small sum of money. CURRENT REGISTRATIONS.

OLD HICKO ®; VIRGINUDARE WAXHAWlfl EDGERTON, WIS. Buyers are riding the growing districts quite generally in most of the tobacco localities of the State, and contracts for the new crop are being entered into whenever something desirable is encoun- tered, but trading is being done very quietly and with no great amount of competition. It is probable that con- tracts cover several hundred acres during the week, selections scattered over quite a large territory. The prices are not so attractive as to cause growers to become anxious to close deals, but may be taken as fair, all things considered. Buyers are also searching the growing districts for cured goods, and consider- able of the. '03 crop is being lifted, but at small figures that return no profit to the raiser. Jos. Bimberg has picked up several hundred cases of old goods in the local markets this week. The last of the new crop is being housed this week, which has brought some of the warmest weather of the sea- son and the first conditions that might lead to shed damage. A few days of hot, muggy atmosphere have caused the growers some uneasiness and demanded a careful watching of the curing sheds. Shipments, 500 cases. — Reporter. MONTHLY REPORT— SEPT.

As the season has almost pissed and light stocks to offer, the trade seems to have just waked up from its Rip Van Winkle sleep. There is a strong demand from many sources, and the A. T. Co. looks very anxious and is meeting the advance right along. It looks like we might have a Burley sky-lift — the new crop housed being only about half a crop and all Dark. The farmers are holding meetings, or- ganizing into protective societies, and the trade seems to think some high prices will come soon, and is tryingito get the CLARKSVILLE. TENN. M. H. Clark & Bro. Our receipts this week were 151 hhds, offerings on the breaks, 252 hhds; pub. lie and private sales, 276 hhds. The quality of the offerings remains poor, and the proportion of Lugs small. The market was firm at the late advance established. Stocks are steadily running down, and will show full reduction on the 1st proximo, The crop has now all been housed ex- cept scattering remnants, and was secured in good weather, which has also been generally favorable for curing. The crop is much mixed, but with a good proportion of useful Leaf, and an unusually small percentage of "Lugs. After a general convention, largely at- tended, planters will now hold county meetings to perfect their organization for the purpose of holding the crop firmly for high prices, and it is claimed that all needed financial aid has been secured. Unless satisfaction is obtained, it is pro. posed to again largely reduce the plant- ing. The crop of 1904 will probably move to market much later than usual.

Annual Report of President of Trade As* sociation Shows Splendid Prospects. Richmond, Va., Oct. 7. The annual report submitted at the annual meeting of the Richmond To- bacco Trade Association by the President, T. M. Carrington, who was succeeded by Charles W. Spicer, contained some in- teresting facts and opinions. Mr. Car- rington showed that Richmond is still a great tobacco market, and that the leaf trade of the city is increasing. The pa- per in part, was as follows: "Our warehouses selling loose tobacco should do more business the coming year than the last, as the crop of sun cured tobacco raised in the counties north of this city, every pound of which is sold in this market, is the one exception of a decreased planting and gives promise of being a good crop in every respect ' 'Fortunately in this portion of tobacco raising territory there has entered no scheme against the buyers of tobacco which is so rampant in other sections, and whose votaries hope to find a cure for non competition in forcing the buyer to become the seeker. "The large storage warehouses built by the American Tobacco Company, the buildings and equipments erected by the Imperial Tobacco Company and the large plants of the Kentucky Tobacco Product Company, taking the by-products of our factories, and the other smaller additions in the tobacco interest, show the onward trend of the tobacco trade in Richmond. "I find from the most reliable resources that I can obtain that the State of Vir- ginia produced in 1903 122,410.000 pounds of tobacco, of which 55,150,000 pounds was dark shipping and to, 160,000 pounds dark manufacturing, and 57,- 100,000 pounds bright. The great bulk of shipping tobacco rinds its way to Rich- mond to be sampled or reordered for the various foreign markets and govern- ments. "A good part of the dark manufac- turing tobacco is taken up by the sun cured crop, all of which comes to Rich- mond, and which tobacco goes so far to give our factories world wide reputa- tion. In bright tobacco, a good propor- tion raised in our State comes to Rich- mond, but this type of tobacco is graded with North Carolina and South Carolina brights to such an extent that no estimate can be placed o n the proportion that comes to this market. "Our loose warehouses have done a good business, selling a class of tobacco for which the demand was fully equal to the supply. "Among the manufacturers we have witnessed the absorption of three of our large factories, yet we can feel some pride in the fact that their values were fully appreciated, and what has been possibly our loss has been many times the gain of the fortunate owners, who have been put beyond the need of worrying over short crops and the many other ills that the tobacco mm is heir to, and in further compensation, I am glad to note the ad- vent of two new factories and the decided increase in business of other individual factories in Richmond. Some have doubled their factory capacity and some have materially added to thfir facilities for prosecuting their business." — During the year ending October 1, 1,250 hhds. of tobacco were inspected in Petersburg, Va. Sales of loose tobac- co amounted to 8 959,126 pounds. MAIL ORDER SCHEME PROSPERING. ORGANIZERS IN THE SOITH. MILWAUKEE DEALERS* NEW SCHEMES. United Cigar Stores Co. Energetically Pushing this Branch of its Business. In line with its efforts to corral every smoker and chewer on earth, the United Cigar Stores Co. is doing everything in its power to sell cigars by mail. The company is advertising extensively in family magazines, offering to send twelve sample cigars o f fi n e quality for a dollar, and the distributing point is the Flatiron Building in New York, the first floor of which is occupied by one of the company's stores. On receipt of the $1 the consumer is sent a flat pasteboard box, the surface of which is about five by nine inches, and the thickness a n inch. The box is divided into twelve compartments, each of which contains a cigar properly la- belled, there being a number of kinds and sizes in the lot In addition to the cigars is a quantity of advertising literature, consisting of coupons, (redeemable for presents) order blanks, a list of premiums, etc. The box is brown and looks as much like a neck- tie box as a receptacle for cigars. The mail order scheme is designed to catch a better class of trade than usually patronizes the retail stores of the com- pany. While the company has alwa)s succeeded in getting a large proportion of the bulk of the trade in cities which they have invaded, they have never had much success with the better class of smokers. It is hoped that this will fill the bill, and the company fondly expects to build up a permanent box trade by this method. ARRESTED FOR ADVERTISING. Some of the respectably conservative officials in Nashville, Tenn. , regard with scorn some of the modern methods of advertising, and as a result four repre- sentatives of the Old North State Tobacco Co., a staunch independent concern, found themselves in hot water one day last week. A local Sherlock Holmes ran into some young men on the street heavily burdened with signs, ladders, hammers, etc., and promptly arrested them on a charge of advertising without a license. The pris- oners said they were salesmen for the Old North State Tobacco Co. and be- longed to what it called its Flying Squad- ron. They were discharged after a warn- ing on the laws as to advertising and tacking signs. UNITED CIGAR STORES CO. IN LOUISVILLE The United Ci>,'ar Stores Co. has added Louisville, Ky. , to its chain of stores and the retailers in that city have as yet taken no means to their gratitic ition of this re- cognition of their city as a lucrative field. The Unite l Co. has acquired the retail cijjar and tobacco business of Vogt, Ap plegate & Co , which has been well known in Southern tobacco circles for a year or more. It cannot be learned at this time whether the owners will open other stores in the city, as is their usual cus- tom, but local dealers are by no means pleased at the prospect. Many Well Known Growers Appoint- ed to Work up Interest. Organizers are laboring hard in Ken- tucky and Tennessee to effect close or- ganizations in all the counties in which tobacco is grown, and it is now believed that the Dark Growers' Association will soon be in a position to demand and get better prices. The following well known growers have been appointed to work up county organizations : Todd county, Ky., Frank Walton ; Lo- gan county, Ky., Henry Thurman ; Trigg county, Ky.,T. E. Crenshaw; Crittenden county, Ky., A. H. Carden; Christian county, Ky., J. D. Clardy; Simpson county, Ky., Dr. J. R. Claypoole; Cald- well county, Ky., J. H.

Milwaukee, Oct 8, 1904. Since the advent of the "Biggest To- bacconist" local cigar men have begun to sit up and notice things. They find they must have features to keep their trade, and this they are doing. Fay Lewis & Bro. , who have two large stores here, hit on a plan which works splendidly. At the Pabst building store, one side of the room is a continuous mirror. The fellows like to drop in, buy a smoke and look in the mirror to see how their cravenette looks. Edmund S. Thatcher, the Ogden ave- nue pharmacist has a show window about a block long. He is running on the Governor Dewey cigar, and had a couple of hundred empty boxes sent along to fill up his show window. The boxes which are plain and neatly labeled, con- tain no cigars, and the stamp isn't there, but hardly one person out of a thousand knows it The cigar sells well. The Sternberg Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of cigar molds, etc., for many years located in Davenport Iowa, recently moved to Milwaukee, and now occupies a large, new factory building on the North Side. Prior to moving here, Kentucky Crop Being Taken on Contract the Sternbergs bought the Mallue plant and Association May Control jn Chicago, and Mr. Mallue will be Su- the Market. perintendent of the Sternberg factory.

DAMP CIGARS WOUSE THAN DRY ONES. A GOOD many dealers may not know "^ it, but a cigar that is a little dry will give a better smoke, that is have a better aroma and burn better, than one as damp as a good many smokers igno- rantly insist on having. The dealer should educate his customers up to this kink and he will find that his sales will give more satisfaction. Of course a cigar that is too dry will cause a little annoyance from dust, but between the damp and the dry one, the latter is invariably better. Another point on which a good many consumers can be educated is the uniform quality of a brand. A great many men go to a lot of trouble to pick out all the new brands as they appear on the market, under the delusion that they are all allowed to de- teriorate after they have secured a suffici- ent clientele. They believe that the average manufacturer if he puts a new five cent cigar on the market starts it off to be really worth about 7 cents and after a while lets the quality slide down to 3 cents. There never was a bigger mistake, for cigars made by reliable firms are ab- solutely uniform year after year. It would be a very foolish policy to allow anything else. We believe it would be a profitable scheme to issue little advertising booklets to customers in which such odds and ends of facts as these were attractively presented. A smoker is always interested in what relates to smoking and it has been proven time and time again that such things stimulate trade. Let the average busy man have ten minutes to loaf in a cigar store, while he may be waiting for something, and if he falls into a chat with the man behind the counter he will invariably ask dozens of questions about the tobacco business and its rami- fications. TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING. 'pHE WRITER went into a cigar store in Philadelphia one day this week and as he talked to the clerk looked curiously around at the walls of the store. The statement was made last week in an article on this page, that many retailers don't use a sufficient number of display signs. That assertion is still true, but the proprietor of the store mentioned above can certainly not be included in this class. Signs, signs, signs, everywhere; and not a single one that was really convinc- ing. Some of them were gorgeous in point of display, some, hastily written announcements of a cut in prices and others were well printed in good letters, but had nothing worth while to say. On all the more pretentious cards there was an obvious straining after effect, a jumping after cheap smartness, and weak fiippancy which wouldn't bring in two cents worth of extra trade. Even if some of them had been good they would have been lost in the maze of the whole lot. Big black words everywhere one looked, so that the mind absorbed nothing but a confusion of verbiage. Let your words be brief and to the point, and remember that white space is just as valuable in combination as black ink. If there is such a thing as strenuous simplicity, that quality is exactly what you want to strive after in preparing your displays. It is all right to exploit a good many different cards, but do it by successive changes and not all at once. A 32 cali- ber bullet can kill a man just as swiftly and surely as a cannon ball, although it may not so mangle him. Assuming that you have a new brand of all tobacco cigarettes or little cigars that you want to get your customers to try; also assuming that they really can make good if given a chance, here is a card which in ordinary circumstances should secure good selling: IF YOUR TASTE IS CULTIVATED The Cigarros Are Made for your Benefit. For Cigar Smokers Who Want A SHORT SMOKE WITH THE RIGHT FLAVOR Then again you might consider this more striking: FIVE MINUTES TO SMOKE and You Don't Use Cigarettes. THE CIGARRO Is a Short Cigar Made Just for That. SMELLS THESAME-TASTESTHESAME IS THE SAME This wording as to alignment can be arranged on your card just as you see fit, the top line always being made prominent. CLEVER MILWAUKEE WINDOWS.

If a man who in health or income are unfortunately situated, but who have friends among the powers that be. In France, the keeping of a cigar store is much coveted by gentlewomen in re- duced circumstances, and as the sale of tobacco is a state monopoly, the govern- ment generally bestows the right to keep a "bureau de tabac" on the widows and likes to think he is a connoiseurjof cigars daughters of officers and government when he really doesn't know anything officials. about them, it isn't up to me to try to dispel his illusion. "But as you say, the average smoker, who is after a good smoke, and is con- fronted with an imported box with its rich looking front, and a domestic article, at the same price, or even a little lower, will invariably take the Cuban cigar and firmly believe that he is a fastidious critic." Filling the stores of this country with pretty, chic young women would not tend to reduce the consumption of tobacco. • • • Scattered around Philadelphia are a number of slot machines in which you drop a penny and get a little box of matches. Retailers who don't like to sell matches over the counter might adopt this expedient. C. A.

Box 98 SELLING LMAF TOBACCO IN HAVANA, More Thao Thirteen Thousand Bales Changed Hands In One Week. Notes of the Buying and Selling. [Special Correspondence of The Tobacco Business in the Havana market during the week gone by has been quite fair, and while there are always some grum- blers, others are perfectly satisfied with the share of business done by them. One large concern, which deals exten- sively in Vuelta Abajo and Partido only, is credited with having turned over 3,000 bales to one of the most important clear Havana manufacturers in the North. While this transaction is, perhaps, more |n the nature of a commission deal, as the American factory had given orders to purchase this amount of leaf direct from the farmers in the country, had advanced the funds and had the leaf packed for its own use, nevertheless through its acceptance it now forms a closed deal properly belonging to the past week. Other manufacturers and dealers from the North have also operated quite ex- tensively, and therefore the total number of bales written ofif, from the stocks held for sale here, shows a satisfactory busi- ness as having been accomplished. Prices for all good vegas are firmly sustained, and as far as certain growths of Partido are concerned there is already a perceptible scarcity. A few sales of Remedios first capaduras have been made, while for the seconds there is more demand, and that prices for these goods are bound to advance sharply with the advent of winter seems to be the universal opinion. That all the shade grown tobacco has not given universal satisfaction is best illustrated by the report that the trust had placed about 1 50 bales for sale with a dealer. However, as the trust has bought extensively in former years of Remedios, and then, not being able to consume it all, has afterwards sold large quantities of it, is a matter of history; so it might be the case that, owing to a diminished call for cigars here, perhaps, it is now simply trying to get rid of its surplus. Transplanting of the seedlings is now in order during the month of October, and the weather conditioni are carefully watched, as everything will depend upon them as to how the 1905 crop may be started on its way to produce a temprano or tardido growth. Salm amounted to 13, 133 bales in all, or 8,750 of Vuelta Abajo, 2,978 of Partido, and 1,405 of Remedios. The United States buyers have taken 9,805 bales; Europe, 1,170, and the local cit,'ar and cigarette factories, 2, 158. World.] Havana, October 3, 1904. Bayers Come and Go.

The absorbing topic has been the im- port stamp question, and while the late cables state that the Secretary of the Treasury had decided to continue the red color of the import stamp, but that the size would be considerably reduced and be less visible at first glance, it has to be learned through mail advices, how this sore point will finally satisfy the Havana and the American manufacturers. One American leaf dealer now here stated that this measure was directed more against the trust than against the inde- pendent manufacturers here, but as the interests of both in this instance ate identical, it looks more as if the local in- dependent factories would be the only sufferers, because if the trust should lose here, it might on the other hand benefit through its American factories in the North. The feeling here is certainly running very high, and all sorts of schemes and measures are in embryo to save the local cigar industry from a retrograde! movement in the United States. Some, people would advocate that the Cuban Government prohibit the export of Vuelta Abajo and Partido leaf, others that the 1 Cuban Government issue a distinctive stamp of its own, etc. The Cuban man- j ufacturers are not opposed to having j granted a reasonable protection to the American cle.ir Havana factories, and if Havana cigars could be imported free of duty in the United St-ites they would be willing to pay $2 per pound as a protec- i tion to the American industry and still r =1^ ESTABLISHED 1844 H.

THE TOBACCO WORLD XI be able to compete successfully, but of course there is no hope that the American Government would accede to such a re- duction of the import duties upon cigars. The real reason why the Reciprocity Treaty has not fulfilled the aspirations of the American manufacturers and export- €rs is that the latter do not offer the same facilities as England, Germany, Spain and France do in selling dry goods prop- erly adapted to the customs of this island, nor machinery upon such long time periods as Europe does. H. Upmann & Co. are very busy now, making fully 50,000 cigars per day. They purchased 900 bales of leaf tobacco for their factory and for export, and again shipped 800,000 cigars last week. Cifuentes, Fernandez & Co. are like- wise hardly able to fill all the orders coming in from every where for their Flor de Partagas cigars. 6ehrens & Co. , of the Sol factory, are so fully occupied that Don Carlos Behrens begged to be excused from talking to your correspondent when he called. Since they have given the sole control of their cigars for the United States to the National Cuba Co., of New York, their business has increased materially, al- though their new brand, Sol Seleccion Especial, is certainly made of the finest leaf which the Vuelta Abajo produces and nothing superior is exported from here. Rabel, Costa, Vales & Co. tell the same story, as far as their Ramon AUones and Cruz Roja factory is concerned. Orders are now plentiful from the United States, Europe and elsewhere. Enrique, Dorado & Co. have excellent calls for their El Rico Habano cigars. J F. Rocha & Co. are working actively for all markets, particularly so for the United States, London and Germany, and turning out 50,000 cigars daily of Crepusculo, Nene, Jefferson and other brands. BiiyiiiK. SellluK and Other Note* of Interest. Mortimer Regensburg said that his firm of E. Regensburg & Sons now held 6,000 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido leaf of the 1904 crop. Garcia & Co. sold 2,000 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido to their customers. A. Bijur is actively at work selecting choice tobaccos, and has already secured from 600 to 800 bales of \'uelta Abajo. Sobrinos de Venancio Diaz disposed of 1 , 200 bales of all kinds of leaf last week. Vicente Guerra purchased 600 bales of Vuelta Abajo for his Tampa factory. Loeb Nunez Havana Co. sold and shipped 741 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Par- tido and Remedies to their various customers. Arthur Loeb and Harry Nathan are both here now in the interest of their particular friends, trying to select suitable vegas from the extensive holdings of their firm. Facundo Arguelles is still looking around, before purchasing for his firm of Arguelles, Lopez & Bro., Tampa. Jorge ic P. C.istaneda closed out 400 bales of Partido leaf from their packings. Leslie Pantin was a large buyer for his customers last week, taking over 1,000 bales of all kinds of leaf. Aixala & Co. turned over 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Don Manuel Abella went to the Santa Clara province with the avowed ohje i of purchasing tobacco to supply the numerous customers of this firm later on, but had to come back empty handed, as there is nothing suitable left in this part of the Island, so Aixala & Co. only have their own packing of Las Vueltas to rely upon. Don Jose Aixala sold 5 bales of wrappers for S3,- 000, and which he termed as being equal to silk handkerchiefs, as regards the texture of the leaf. Gonzalez, Benitez & Co. sold 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo, Partido and Remedios. Mendelsohn, Borneman & Co. are very busy and never seem to lack custom ers. as when one leaves another is sure to take his place. Jose Menendez disposed of 250 bales of Vueha Abajo and Partido. Laureano Sanchez is trying to increase the holdings of leaf for his firm by pick- ing out some choice vegas. Fernando Fernandez y Hno. closed out 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. A. Pazos y Cia. — Don Avelino Pazos intended to leave last Saturday, but duty before pleasure, as he has to wait upon four of their customers just now. The celebration of his tin wedding will have to be postponed for a week or ten days. Suarez Hermanos sold 250 bales of Vuelta Abajo. A. M. Calzada & Co. are busy all the time, selling and receiving tobacco from the country. Antonio Suarez turned over 237 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. Voneiff & Vidal Cruz are hard at work at their escojidas, but Don Francisco Vidal Cruz does not neglect shipping goods to their customers, or storing them until they come here to inspect them later on. Muniz Hermanos y Cia. sold 200 bales of Remedios last week. Don Hilario Muniz left fo»- his native home in Spain to take a well earned rest and vacation after his hard work of last summer. Jose F. Rocha disposed of 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Grau, Planas & Co. closed out 100 bales of Partido from their own escojida. Receipts From the Coontry Week Ending Since J. F. ROCHA & CO.

C, Oct. 6, A protest against Assistant Secretary Armstrongs new import stamp was nmde today by Senor Ouesada, the Cuban Min- ister, who called on Secretary Hay and represented that the recent change will work great injury to the Cuban cigars by reason that it will afford an opportunity for unscrupulous dealers t o substitute other cigars for the genuine imported goods. The Cuban official made his protest on behalf of his j;overnmentand as its formal representative, but Secretary Hay was unable to extend any assurance that the matter would be reopened.

MAY LIVE Of citi in Three Tobacco Companies. Hort in Auto Race, Has a Chance. New York, Oct. 10. George Arents, Jr., who was severely injured in Saturday's wonderful automo- bile lace of 300 miles over Long Island roads, has the sympathy of the trade in this city, which is extended also to Mr. Arents' anxious family. Last night a report was given out that the injured man was a trifle better and was believed to have a fighting chance for recovery. The most serious injury is a fracture of the skull. Mr. Arents is Presioent of the Banner Cheroot Co., Treasurer of the Interna- tional Machinery Co., and a diiector of the American Cigar Co., all of which have headquarters at 1 1 1 Fifth avenue, and which are branches of the American Tobacco Co. He is a man of independ- ent means and prominent socially, but a hard worker, and well and favorably known in the trade. Mr. Arents was never noted for his caution when driving his automobile, and has been arrested for exceeding the speed limit On the other hand he is an ex- pert chalTeur. The parents and wife of the injured man lemain at his bedside and have re- ceived many messages of condolence. Buck.

OmO NB WS IN BRIEF. A. COHN & CO. IMPORTERS OP Havana and Sumatra PACKRRS OP Cigar Leaf Sales at Cincinnati. Crop Reports and Business Changes. Cincinnati. O., Oct 10. Ofl^erings at last Saturday's cigar leaf sales were fair, amounting to 120 cases. The variety was limited, being confined to three of the domestic types, with a few packages of Connecticut wrappers and a single case of fancy Havana leaf, which brought 50 cents per pound. The qual- ity of the Zimmers was exceptionally good, the greater portion selling above 6 cents and ranging from that figure to 1 2 >^ cents per pound. Good seed leaf brought from 6 to 8f/ cents, and the inferior packings from 2 to 5)^ cents. Wisconsins were rather poor and comprised common fillers and stogie stock, that sold from $2 to I3.60. Oscar Gassman, now located on Fount- ain Square near Walnut street, has se- cured a lease on one of the store rooms in the German National Bank Building, in course of construction at Fourth and Vine streets. There was keen competi- tion between a number of cigarists to secure the property. Gassman will pay a rental of $3,600 per year. Seed Leaf Tobacco Growers of FLORIDA SUMATRA 142 Water St., New York.

Of course there is anger and bitterness among the Treasury officials, and it is intimated that after the election, when it can be done safely, there will be an investigation. There was undoubtedly a tiny bit of rancor displayed between the two assist- ant secretaries, but it is not probable that anything will come of it Mr. Taylor, who is a veteran in the service of the Government, and who has lived about twice as long as Mr. Armstrong, seemed inclined to adopt a rather kindly, patron- izing boys will-be-boys attitude toward his junior, but the latter has proven himself to have too much sound common sense to allow such a trifle to cause him any permanent worry. RECIPILOCITY TREATY IN DISFAVOR.. PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 12, 1904. To Benefit 0\ir Readers. T^he Tobacco World wants to receive ^ from week to week all questions relating to the trade which may be puzzling its subscribers, and will be glad to supply any information in its possession or obtainable. The columns of the paper are also open to readers for the discussion of current trade topics. If you have a decided opinion on a matter, express it, and see if some one else has good reasons for thinking otherwise. All letters should be addressed to the "Correspondence Editor"and must be accompanied by the name and ad dress of the writer, which may be withheld when desired. SELLING CIGARETTES TO MINORS. Every little while someone starts an agitation on the sale of cigarettes to minors; thevarious improvement societies of the community rattle around for a while, the matter is discussed in the news- papers for a brief period (in the absence of much olhernews)and then the subject falls flat and is permitted to remain supine— until the next time. And news- boys and their brethren still smoke. There is such a movement in some of the middle western cities now, there was one not very long ago in Philadelphia, there is occasionally one in New York, and there will be one some day in nearly any city one might name. In Indiana a judge recently made a plea for new legis lation touching the matter and detailed the serious effects of the cigarette habit on children, apparently as a result of lack of effective law. What is the use .' There is practically no law-abiding community in this coun try where the cigarette dealer may not be punished who deliberately sells to a minor for the latter' s own consumption No reputable dealer today, who has a decent respect for his own business will make such a sale, and the presence or absence of a dozen laws governing the transaction would play no part in his dc cision. No retailer who is not a discredit to the trade cares for such a class of business. Why not apprehend the fellows who actually sell to children and apply to their case the laws which already exist? The offence and penalty are clearly defined. No one would be sorry for the culprits except themselves, and just a few convictions would secure many fewer improper sales. WILL MAKE UP COTTON LOSSES. After what may be considered a fair trial, several farmers in certain sections of Texas have demonstrated that they can raise a good quality of tobacco from the same soil in which their cotton crop suc- cumbed to the boll weevil. At Halletts ville particularly, at Luling, and along the lines of some of the railroads, a first class grade of tobacco was raised from Cuban seed this year, and the farmers were so jubilantly certain of their prospects that some little time ago a number of prominent business men or ganized, in Hallettsville, to raise and manufacture the leaf. It is said that forty acres of very fine leaf was harvested at Hallettsville, and the growers very wisely refused an offer from a Thiladelphia buyer in order to manufacture the yield themselves, and in that way advertise the Hallettsville country. It may be said that these tobacco growing experiments are yet, to a certain extent immature, but it is a fairly reason- able prediction that Texas will soon be supplying considerable of the tobacco of the country. Certainly i t will b e a Godsend to farmers in that region if they discover that land which has been worthless to them, except from which to raise cotton, and is now useless even for that purpose, will readily yield a cash crop of tobacco. The leaf which has already been grown is said to be of such a quality as to com- mand the best price, and it is fair to hope that future crops will be of the same nature. Local labor is not yet adapted to the situation and considerable trouble has been experienced in handling the yield. Should the industry make good its promises in any considerable measure, thegrowerswill import experienced labor. The Philadelphia Record, of October 6, prints the following in its editorial column: Assistant Secretary Taylor over- ruled Assistant Secretary Armstrong on the imported cigar stamp ques- tion, and then Secretary Shaw over- ruled Taylor, who said that Arm. strong went off half cocked. This does Armstrong an injustice. He decided to facilitate the sale of do- American Tobacco Co.'s Merger Hearing in Newari(.

The Isaac Meyer Co. ,of New York, has leased the plant o f the Goodson Grapholyte Co., of Thompson ville, Con- necticut, and will occupy it for tobacco packing purposes. The plant is being remodelled, and in the east building three large sweatrooms have been built, each capable of holding 3c)o cases of to- bacco. The plant will have a capacity for the employment of about 250 tobacco handlers. The Sutter Bros, warehouse at Madi- son. Wis., has been sold to the Ameri- can Cigar Co. for l7,ooo, and the building is one of the most complete to- bacco warehouses in the country, and cost more than $25,000, The same firm owned a warehouse in this city some years ago. John E. Stevens, of Bolding, Mich, has sold a half interest in his cigar man ufacturing business to James Markham and the partnership has taken the name of the Stevens Cigar Co. Mr. Stevens has been operating the bu'^iness there for several years and has built up a lucrative trade in several brands of his manufac- ture, the latest being the Deep Sea brand. His partner Mr. Markham has been in his employ for over a year. W. W. Fowler, well known in North Dakota through his connection with the Paruperin & Wiggenbarn Co., died at Des Moines, his former home, where he had gone to recuperate. The cause of his death was a combination of heart and kidney trouble. t I i I American Tobacco Manufacturers Don't Like Present Arrangement with Cuba. The reciprocity treaty which the United States has with Cuba has occasioned more or less kicking for a considerable time and at the hearing before Acting Secre- tary Taylor in Washington' in the import stamp matter, the question was referred to incidentally by the independents, who voiced their dislike of the reciprocity act, which as Assistant Secretary Armstrong said practically destroyed the McKinley tariff differential. It was also shown that while the increase in manufactured to- bacco has been large, the quality has deteriorated considerably. The New York Times has taken the matter up in its news columns and on Monday printed a considerable article from while the following is extracted: ••American merchants who do business with Cuba are said to be much dissatis- fied with the working of the reciprocity treaty. In a recent report to the State Department, United States Minister Squiers submits figures to show that while the trade of the United States with Cuba had only increased 3 percent, since the ratification of the reciprocity treaty, that of England with Cuba had increased 21 per cent., that of Germany 20 per cent,, that of Spain 16 per cent, and that of France 8 per cent. "American exporters declare now that much of the handicap to the growth of American trade is due to methods used by European manufacturers and their agents in Havana, who are generally Spaniards. Americans, they declare, invoice their goods honestly and pay the full duty, while Europeans do not hesitate to undervalue goods on while there is an ad valorem duty, and to get a wrong classification on goods on which the duty is specific This, of course, would imply the conniv- ance of the customs officials at Havana, but the American exporters say that the Havana Custom House needs a good shaking up. They assert, however, that President Palma is in ignorance of the real conditions. •'The cigar manufacturing trade, espe- cially, is also complaining that it has been hard hit by thecompetitionof Cuban-made cigars. The figures just published by the Department of Commerce and Labor bear out this assertion very strikingly. These figures show the imports for the eight months ended Aug, 31 of this year during which the treaty was in effect compared with the corresponding eight months of last year, when the treaty was not in ef- fect. During the eight months of 1903 the imports of manufactured cigar leaf tobacco amounted to 14.412,996 pounds, valued at 16.424,208. while in 1904 they fell off to 12.662.83s. valued at $5,994.- 867, This shows a falling otf in the im- ports of the raw material for the manu- facture of cigars in this country. On the other hand, the imports of manufactured cigars have increased in quantity, but very little in value, thus showing that a cheaper cigar is being imported than formeriy. The figures for 1903 were 404,175 pounds, valued at $2,149,553, while in 1904 they were 509,488 pounds, valued at 12,258,936." FORNEH WELL KNOWN LEAF NAN DIES IN THE WEST. James D. Sorber, who a decade ago, was one of the best known men in the tobacco trade of Philadelphia and vicinity, died on Sunday. Oct 9. at Los Angelos, Cal., where he has made his home for eight or nine years. Mr. Sorber was the senior member of the tobacco leaf firm of Sorber, Cook & Co.. of Philadelphia, but retired from business when he was about 70 years old and went to live with his son in the West, Mr. Sorber died at the ripe age of 79. Aside from his business acquaint- ances, he gained quite a celebrity by his excellent paintings of chickens which subject he selected almost to the exclu- sion of other models. New York Cigar Packer FeLils. Samuel Goodfriend, cigar packer, of 320 East Seventy-seventh street. New York, has filed a petition in bankruptcy, with liabilities $35,725, and no assets. The debts were contracted in 1893 when he was in buisness as a cigar manufac- turer at 1414 Avenue A. and made an as- signment on August 3. 1893. Among the creditors are Moses Lindheim, $7,500; Barnett & Son. $7,263; Feli^ Muehlen- thal, $6,300; Maurice Somborn, $2,400. and Schwarzkopf & Ellingcr, $2,000. «%^^«a The Secretary of State has granted to the Imperial Tobacco Co.. of Kentucky, license to do business in Tennessee. Frank Mellis, of Footville. and a Houghton tobacco buyer, visited Wiscon- sin farmers last week and bought a few of the nicest crops. The prices were said to be 8 and to cents. Patrick Manley has embarked in the cigar and tobacco business in Youngstown. O. . and opened up a store at No. 244 East Federal street.

Mr. Lowengrund takes this step be cause he has come to the conclusion that a large number of consumers are turning from cigars to smoking tobacco. A large show case will he installed to accommo- date the new feature, and the new line will be a complete ojie of the better article. With Manufacturers and Jobbers. Victor Lopez, of Trujillo & Co., of New York, spent a couple of days in town during the week. Samuel H. Harris. President of the Khedwial Co., of New York, was in the city during the week, looking after busi- ness. Mr. Harris said that business in Turkish and Egyptian cigarettes is in- creasing enormously. Joseph Vetterlein, of Vetterlein Bros., will leave for Boston in a few days to look up business for the firm. Lester Newberger, of Stewart & New- berger, lelt this week for a trip through the South. The firm is attracting favor- able attention with its John Hay 10 cent cigar. Each cigar is put up in a gela- tine case so that the tobacco is always in proper condition to smoke. John M. Kolb. general manager for Theobald & Oppenheimer, has returned from a Western trip, greatly pleased with trade in the West. Mr. Kolb will leave for Cuba in a few da>s to buy Havana tobacco lor the firm. Amon/^ the Salesmen.

I read a list in the Springfield Republican and 1 think that 2Sc was the lowest price reported paid for Connecticut broad leaf. The report is that the crop in that district will come close to i,8oo pounds per acre. What little broad leaf was raised in this locality is reported to be very nice and a fine wrapper leaf. Our correspondents write: Hadley, Mass. : "C. and P. Callahan and P. Shocker sold their r904 crop to I. H. Weaver; James Hicky, M. Dwyer. M. W. Howe sold to Spitzer & Co., of Detroit, Mich. ; A. E. Searle and George E. Smith sold to Peters, of New York. Buyers are numerous these days." North Hadley. Mass.: "There have been several sales of tobacco the past week; prices from i6r^i7cin the bun. die; two lots, those of P. Whalen and Albert E. Belden, sold at 19c in bundle, 1 1 00 per acre being paid in advance, to Weaver, of Lancaster, Pa. " Conway, Mass.: "There have been a few buyers in town, but no sales heard of The tobacco is curing down nice and light, and there ought not to be any pole bum this year. " Bradstreet, Mass. : "Quite a little to- bacco was taken down during the past damp weather, and it shows up in fine shape. The American Tobacco Co.'s j agent was looking at some lots in this I place the past week, but I have no sales j to report. I understand that in Hatfield I a few sales were made the last of the , week, but cannot give you facts." Montague, Mass.: "The tobacco in this town was a very fine crop, and is curing down in fine shape. I have no sales to report" East Whately, Mass.: "I have the foU lowing sales to report of the new crop in the bundle: John Brunkard, 9 acres at 14- ; Dennis Hays. 4 acres at 15^0; D wight Dickinson. 2 acres at ij^'^c; M.

Dick. inson, but cannot affirm the report."— American Cultivator. EDGERTON. WIS. The buying of the new crop is progress, ing slowly without any of the usual indi- cations that are present in a lively market. Nearly all sections are being canvassed by buyers but the amouiit of contracts closed is not large. There seems to be a disposition on the part of many dealers to await developments and as long as the American Cigar Co. remains out of the field local dealers especially are content to wait until the pace is set by the trust buyers. Old leaf remaining in growers' hands is being sought after and quite a fair sized movement is under way. especially in low grades and stripping stock, but prices continue very low. The weather for curing the recently harvested tobacco is favorable and very little complaint is heard concerning its condition in the sheds. The early cut is past all dangers of damage in the curing sheds. Shipments, 500 cases. — Reporter. Receipts in Sept. were Sales *• •• " Shipments in" •« Total stock 8 Oct. I, •* • < CLARKSVILLE.

As the offerings are composed mainly of remnants of crops and the last of dealers' prizings. the quality is poor. The market was firm and unchanged. The crop is all secured except scattered patches. The first cuttings are now cured. As it will take a good while for the planters to settle their disagreemenu Hith the monopolies in regard to prices, the new crop may move unusually late to market.

TRUSTS WILL HAVE HARD TIME IN NEW ZEALAND. septembeil tobacco crop. United States Supreme Court will Decide Cigarette Cases this Term. The old argument on the "original package" will come up in the United States Supreme Court during the present term, this time in regard to the sale of <:igarettes in quantities less than the usual ten packed in a box. The cases in point are appeals from decisions of the Supreme Court of Iowa, which State has passed a law pro- hibiting the sale of cigarettes except in original packages. The title of one case is C. P. Cook and E. Plunkett against the County of Marshall, and the other is Mrs. J. Tabor against Muscatine County. It is understood that the American To- bacco Co. is backing the plaintiffs with the idea of getting a final decision. The law prescribes that no goods must be sold except from the package which bears the stamp and the controversy is a« to whether the large package in which cigarettes are usually sold at wholesale is the original package from which, accord- ing to the law, goods must be sold, or if the small package of ten comes under the law. Small dealers who will sell less than ten cigarettes, contend that the sec- ond reading of the law is the correct one. In the two cases appealed, the claim made in each case is that a package of ten cigarettes is an original package in the meaning of the law. In each case the packages were shipped loose to the retailers, without any other box, wrap ping or other container. The position of the State authorities is that this method of shipping is altogether unusual, and is a mere subterfuge for the evasion of the law. They hold that the term "original package" means the package in which cigarettes are sold in the usual wholesale quantities. SURBRUG CO. WILL SOON MANUFAC- TURE IN RICHMOND. The Richmond branch of the Surbrug Tobacco Co. of New York, at Ninety- fourth and Cary streets, will have its plant in operation in a few days. Alex- ander Cameron, Jr., who was superin- tendent of the Cameron & Cameron Co., recently sold to the trust and closed up, becomes the managing director of the new independent plant. Thus the American Tobacco Co. is again con- fronted with an active competitor. %»%%^^>% NEW ENGLAND TOBACCO COMPANY IN TROUBLE. Suits have been brought against the West Side Tobacco Co., of Maine, by J. C. Bidwell & Co., of Hartford, Conn., and Joseph and Samuel S. Shemmonsky, the former to recover on a protested check issued by the West Side Co., the latter for money due as wages. The West Side Tobacco Co., is a cor- poration organized under the laws of Maine to grow tobacco under cloth at Bloomfield. When the suits were brought the deputy sheriff attached all the tobacco which the company has on the poles in eight sheds in Bloomfield.

Comparative R.eport of Department off Agriculture Shows Good Avers-ge Gain in United States. [From Tobacco World's Correspondent] Washington. D. C, Oct 14. The monthly table of the tobacco crop in the United States just issued by the Department of Agriculture shows an in- crease in several of the states and an average gain in the United States over August of two and two tenths points and over September of last year of three and three tenths points. The principal gains over the month of September last year are in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Texas, West Virginia and Ohio, while noticeable de- creases are seen in Maryland, Alabama, Michigan and Wisconsin. Following is the table: CIGARETTE SMOKING ON THE DECREASE: At Least in this Country, but Great Britain Shows Enormous Increase. In spite of the movements against the sale of cigarettes to minors, promoters of which declare that the practice is growing much more prevalent, and in spite of the statements made by certain dealers that a good many old cigar smokers are now consuming cigarettes, government reports show that the sale of cigarettes in the United States is steadily decreasing. The reports compiled ten years ago showed that about 3,500,000,000 cigar- ettes were made in the course of the year. The present annual output is probably not more than 2,500,000,000, imported manufactured cigarettes, of course, not being taken into the estimate. The population of the United States at the last census was 76,000,000, and that of the United Kingdom 42,000,000. An estimate made about five years ago showed the number of cigarettes smoked in England to be 7,000,000,000 a year and since that time there has been the enormous increase of 5,000,000,000, and it has been computed that boys smoke about 2,500.000.000 cigarettes a year. At present Canada has a law against selling to boys, Australia is about to en- act one, and Norway provides a fine for the offen-^e. In each case 16 ye.irs is the dead line. COMPANY IN RECEIVER'S HANDS PAYS DIVIDENDS. Plenty of SKsLde Grown Tobacco to Sell Which Looks Like Sumatra Grown. Fred B. Griffin, of Gran by. Conn., receiver for the International Tobacco Culture Corproation, against which are claims of $101,000, reported to the court that he had $30,000 in cash on hand and could pay a preliminary dividend to creditors. He said that he had received an offer from Sutter Bros, for $1,200 worth of the tobacco and that the average price was 15 cents for filler. The court authorized the sale. Mr. Griffin has been on the road for a considerable time to dispose of the to- bacco, and in presenimg the situation to the court, said that some of the leaves could not be told from the Sumatra grown leaf. One jobber, to whom he showed samples, was pleased with the to- baccco and asked him how much he wanted for it. He said $100 a bale. The jobber believing that it was Sumatra grown tobacco asked him if the duty had been paid on it. When the jobber learned that it was Sumatra, grown under shade in Connecticut, he threw the sani- pies down and turned away, and Mr. Griffin said he would not talk to him. The great trouble in getting rid of the tobacco, Mr. Griffin said, is that manu- facturers are afraid to use it. They think it might injure their product or that some competitor would learn that they were using the Connecticut shade grown and u>e the fact to his own advantage in the trade.'

Burglars who evidently knew their way about entered Eisenlohr' s cigar factory at Sellersville, Pa., early Thursday morn- ing, and blew open the safe with nitro- glycerine. The safe and some of the of fice furniture were ruined, and the thieves secured nothing but about 150 cigars. Even the stamps were not in the safe that night. It is thought that the gang is the same which has been operating along the suburb towns of Philadelphia and which robbed the factory of Theobald & Oppen- heimer at Perkasie about a week ago. There is no clue to the perpetrators who by their evident movements were familiar with the interior of the factory. — Hensley H. Morton, formerly of Louisville, Ky., who has been Vice President of the Monopol Tobacco Co., of New York, a branch of the American Tobacco Co., will go with Paul Jones & Co., his resignation as Western repre- sentative of the Monopol Tobacco Co. to take effect on Nov. i. He will have have charge of the same territory for the new company. E. A. O^*-*^^® c6 Oo- <^o^> HAVANA rrS /v. THIRD ST MtLADCL^HIA J.

No matter if five thousand people stopped to read the sign every day not one of the lot, unless he intended to buy a smoke at the first store, would go inside. Another card flared out this interesting innouncement: You Don't Make Any Mistake , When You Come in Here. We Sell Standard Goods. We Want Your Trade. How compelling! And how strikingly original! Put yourself in the consumer's place and ask yourself whether such a a sign would create any sudden tempta- tion to rush into the store and stock right up. The best line to follow in preparing signs is to remember that you must have something definite to say, some definite proposition to make, that will interest a smoker after he has stopped to see what the card says. Otherwise its like fishing with an empty hook. The same is true of pictures. If there is to be no reading matter the picture must tell its own story and reward the first glance of the indiffer- ent passerby by explaining its excuse for existing. WINDOW ADVERTISING SHOVLD HAVE A DISTINCT POINT. SEVERAL window cards have reached the eye of The Tobacco World dur ing the week which as honest advertising f tiled entirely to fill the bill. The incredible development of ad- vertising and advertising methods has brought about the establishment of a good many thousand agencies in the United States, each of which will undertake to spend your money so as to bring what you've got to sell before nearly every possible consumer, provided your money doesn't run out first. A great many of these believe most in freak advertising entirely, but the few successes as a result of these methods have been punctuated by a great number of flat failures. The exploitation of "Sunny Jim" cost a simply enormous sum. Everybody is familiar with the peculiar features of that rejuvenated individual, but there are plenty of people who don't remember what he represents. The same thing is true of the old fashioned boy with his following of geese and with plenty of other familiar ad. characters. On the contrary, the Quaker holding his package of prepared oats in his comfortable, fat arms, announces his mission in life on the second. Now to journey back to the opening paragraph. These window ads. were constructed with the wrong idea. A good many dealers, and in fact business men generally, believe that anything that at- tracts attention is a good advertisement, and all that could be desired. It is the simplest proposition in the whole world to attract a crowd. One of the oldest stories we hear is of the man who walked to the curb and by gazing upward at nothing soon got a crowd around him doing the same thing without knowing why. Here is one card that a dealer evidently thought was just about right: What? Eh? What I'tis? Come in and Tell It to Us. Maybe We Can Help. Remember We're the Best Ever in Our Line. 7G(^(^( .-/^ ,0 '^0-0 3 The Tobacco World is willing to bet a hat that this ad. did not sell one chew or half a cigarette. Why should it ? What is there about the thing that would make WINDOW C4RT00N GIVEN FREE TO^RETAILERS. DGAR C. WALTERS, manager of the cigar department of the Paris-Murton factory, of Minneapolis, Minn., sends the accompanying cartoon free to cus- tomers, with the suggestion that they hang it on the inside of the show window and then "watch the sales." The cigar advertised Jis the Billy Prunes brand, and Manager Walters offers to send a series of the cartoons from time to time. This one is headed "A Political Line-up at the Billy Prunes CigariCounler." The drawing might have been better executed, but will|doubtless serve its pur- pose to attract passers by and raise a laugh, and of course win out a percentage of trade. The picture is accompanied by a printed circular to the dealer, which con- tains some timely and valuable truths. Regarding window advertising, the follow- ing is embodied in the circular: All other advertising space must be purchased orirented — Window Space, infinitely more valuable, costs nothing. All other advertising space is for temporary use — Window Space consti- tutes the direct opposite, permanency. No other advertising space has the article itself behind it — Window Space has your goods behind it, also the dealer behind it. All other advertising space costs time and money to keep it in force — Window space is ever in good repair and bright; dealer does it himself. All other advertising space is practically "dead" at night — Window Space "works overtime," night and day; dealer pays for illumination. All other advertising space involves large expenditure, risk and uncertainty — Window space affords maximum results at minimum cost, and is certain. What did you note in your competitors' windows the last time you went by them? If something attracted you, it would probably attract your trade. Try it and see. Pictures always attract attention to the window. If you have or can get anything unusual in the way of a picture, put it in your window the next time you make a change. CIGAR HINTS FROM AN ADVERTISING BOOKLET. A CLEVER little advertising booklet recently issued to advertise a well known five-cent cigar, printed a back page of hints on how to light a cigar. The book is issued to consumers and will surely attract attention. Here is some of the matter: Not one man in ten knows how to light his cigar properly, or so as to obtain the best results. Fire is necessary, of course, but a pre- cious little of it lights a cigar. One man goes at it with a suction-pump sort of a struggle, as though he were determined to suck all the gas in the pipe through his cigar and was in a hurry to accom- plish his job. He deliberately holds his cigar in the flame and puffs away for dear life until a third of it is burned up and the rest of it spoiled for smoking purposes. There is a difference between burning a cigar and smoking it. Overheat a cigar or coal up the tobacco, and you have a rank tasting, badly-burn- ing cigar, unfit to smoke, no matter how good the tobacco is, or how well made the ciorar may be. A spark or a single touch of flame will light a small tuck cigar thoroughly and welL Don't puff away like a steam en- gine, and then let 2he fire go out A cigar never tastes as good after rehghting. First light it, let it cool a little, then keep it so; smoke regularly, mildly and moderately, and you will have a cool, sweet smoke to the finish. A little art and common sense will make a good five- cent cigar taste better thania'fifteen-cent Havana improperly handled. • • • WANT SOMETHING TO TAKE PLACE OF INDIAN. "TTC71TH the passing of the Indian sign, which was generally fur- nished gratuitously by thecigar merchants, jobbers are not free from requests for premiums," said T. R. Tireenhow, ot Toledo, O. "The Indian sign is booked for the rear and that old cigar symbol is practically seen no more. Our firm al- ways reckoned an Indian as worth |2oo and consequently we are glad to see them go. It takes a pile of cigars to make up for the giving away of a sign of that cost and while other premiums have taken its place they are not as expensive," • • • SMOKE UP! A California court has ruled that ex- cessive cigarette smoking constitutes grounds for divorce. That is an easy way out of matrimonial difficulties that would become quite popular, if other judges were as foolish. L. A.

The big leaf tobacco houses here all report activity lately, and things look good for a brisk fall and winter business. Down along East Water street where the packing and sorting houses are plenty, everybody seemed busy, and managers of the sales freely said that salesmen were meeting with fair success, some- thing that they would not say a month ago. Buyers returning from the Edgerton and Stoughton districts are reporting leaf in plenty and that any quantity can be had if the cash is in sight. Manufac turers South of here, and from other States, are lookin-,' for belter business this fall tiian ever. They point to a quiet trade the p.ist three months, and while plenty of smoking material has been sold, still the quantity in each case has been smaller than the average year. Up in this section of the country there have been good crops of everything, and everybody seems to be well heeled with money. Among the big houses here where greater activity is looked for this fall, are Englhardt Bros., The Hochstein Leaf Tobacco Co , and Wetzler, Sachs & Co. One thing noti. eable in this city, is the lack of good 5 cent cigars. There aie a lot of old and new brands on sale at most of the places, but somehow 01 other they haven t got the taste they once had. This is the opinion of old time smokers. I'here is, of course, a great deal in the manner they are packed. The imitation cedar isn't cedar by any means, and this is the reason wh\ some of ihe old brands do not t iste the same as they did when they first ciine on the market- One of the manufacturers here explained that the retail dealers are always yelling for cheaper cij^ars, in price, but better quality of tob.icco. Some of the larger manufacturers can put up goods at a sm ill cost, and those who are not so for tiinate, and still have to make a living, are compelled to sacrifice something, and it is usually in the box. A leading cigar box manuJacturer said: "You would be surprised at the stories some of our customers tell us Fhey want cheaper priced bo.\es, so that they will not have to saciifice the leaf or filler they use in their cigars. They do not seem to take into consideration that a good box is as necessary as the tobacco they use. As long as they get good clear cedar, and use first cl iss tobacco, they can rest assured that their cigars will be standard right along. Hut when they get a poplar box with a little imitation cedar color, and put good stuff in them, something is going to happen. The man, who knows his business will look at the box to see if it is cedar or whether it is just plain wood. Ninety nine persons out of every hundred don t know the dif- ference between pulpwood cheese boxes and mahogany piano cases, no matter how much they know about tobacco." Fred Eckert, of Viroqua, Wis., was in town today and he said the tobacco crop in that section was the best in many years. "This is excellent tobacco weather," said Mr. Eckert. "The crop looks exceedingly good for this time of the year and prospects are that it will be as fine a crop as it will be large. However, so many things are liable to happen that it is no easy matter to make a forecast of what the result of the planting will be. A hail storm of a minute's duration will wipe out a summers work.

Ci^ar Manufacturers' Products Win Out at Si. Louis Fair. York, Pa., Oct. 17, 1904. York couniy manufacturers are greatly pleased as the result of telegrams sent them by the Winget Manufacturing Co. at the St. Louis Fair, announcing that a large percentage of medals have been re.eived by Pennsylvania manufacturers. The Winget Co. is managing the Penn- sylvania cigar and tobacco exhibits. The telegram as received by a number of manufacturers, read: "Congratulations aie in order. You were awarded a medal.' The word medal is preceded by the adjective gold, silver or bronze as the case may be. The results show seven gold, twelve silver and thirteen bronze medals awarded in Pennsylvania, most of them in York county, which is considered a splendidshowing when itis remembered that the manufacturers were competing against the whole world, although York county not only makes 41.000,000 more cigars a \ear than any other county in the United States but manufactuies 30 per cent of the cigars made in this country. The York Dispatch prints the follow- ing list of awards: Gold Medals B. F Able, Hell im, Pa. ,on cigars; J. B, Budding. York, Pa., on cigars; G. A.

Slenker, operating a union factory on South Water street, had been closed down some days but resumed operations today. H. J. Blasscr, representing the leaf packing house of J. H. Stiles, has re- turned from a western trip and reports satisfactory business. The volume of business done this year by the house is the largest ever experienced. D. W. Hubley, of Thomasville, who recently erected a new cigar factory in that town, will soon place upon the mar- ket a number 01 fine grades of cigars, H. F. Kohler, at Nashville, is unusu- ally busy. Preparations for launching a new brand at an early date are being pushed forward. Labels are being litho graphed and an entirely new and attract ive package will be used. Cornelius Snyder, of the Kohler Snyder Co. and of the Glatfelter-Snyder Tobacco Co , returned last Saturday from a western trip. Herman Lutz, a cigar manufacturer of Winterstown, this couixty, died last week of lockjaw, which developed after an amputation of four fingers, crushed in a tobacco cutter. He had been thought to be improving steadily after the operation. Trade is very good at Red Lion with most manufacturers, in fact many of the manufacturers have had a good steady trade all year On November i, next, Truman D. Shertzer will take possession of the new Shindler warehouse at Red Lion, which will be used for a leaf tobacco warehouse and also for the manufacture of scrap for cigar manufacturing. M. Kalisch & Co. have succeeded in building up an extensive trade .since coming to Red Lion. Chas. F. Smith, vice president, and Wm. L. Schaffer, a director of the Amer- ican Leaf Tobacco Co.. at McSherrys town, have both withdrnwn from that company, and have engaged in the leaf tobacco business on their own account under the firm name of Smith & Schaffer. Wm. F. Patterson, of York, formerly trading as the Eigle Leaf Tobacco Co.. and Eagle Cigar Co. , but later as the Penn Leaf Tobacco Co. , in which he had associated with him A. M. Shepp. has discontinued business. An adjustment with creditors is imminent. Mr. Shepp, it is said, now represents W. E. Gheen, of Jersey Shore, a leaf packer and dealer. CONSOLIDATED CO.

The stockholders of the Consolidated Tobacco Co. inet in Jersey City on Mon- day and voted on the question of merging with the American To:)accoand the Con- tinental Tobacco compaViies. Out of a total of 400,000 shares of stock, 397, 191 were voted 'in favor of the combina ion. The meeting was called to order by VV. VV. Fuller, counsel for the company. This settles the matter so far as the at titude of the Consolidated Co.'s stock holders is concerned, but the merger can- not take place until the Court of Errors and Appeals decides the question .is the result of an appeal against the dismissal on a technicality of an injunction against the merger argued on October 1 1 before Vice Chancellor Pitney.

In a number of sections of this country reports have come forth of dubious busi- ness conditions, of a continued stagnation in trade, in short of the general slump which is supposed inevitably to precede election. There are also to be heard well defined reports describing a very prosperous condition. As a matter of fact, if it were possible to prepare a table of statistics showing actual facts and figures concerning the relative condition of trade in the United States at the present writing, it is ex. tremely probable that no great depression would be noticeable. The pre election bugaboo works out its own fulfillment in a great many cases. So many business men have convinced themselves that their business must ccme to a trembling standstill before an election that is to any extent uncertain that they "lie down on their job" as November approaches and direct their attention to hard luck stories. The tobacco business seems to be in fair shape in the United States. Dis- counting possible optimism for trade pur- poses, correspondents throughout the States think they have a right to expect a prosperous season, and while grumblers are by no means hard to find, the com- plaints voiced by these will usually be found to be chronic. The Government of the United States has long been sufficiently settled to pre- clude any possibility of belief that a change of administration would generally disrupt business. Things always run along just the same after March 4. and the banks keep on doing business at the same old stand. BABY MUST SOON HAVE HIS PIPE. If the ingenious German, told about in another column, has good luck in get- ting his recently completed experiments recognized and accepted, we may logi- cally hope socn to be able to cease wor- rying over the health and morals of the small boy who persists in his use of the forbidden but seductive cigarette. Indeed we can reasonably expect the boy to graduate from the pale, tiny cyl- inders to the big black cigars that uncle smokes. The German declares that after he has put the tobacco leaf through the special process which he has devised, a babe will be able to smoke a pipe, a cigarette or a cigar without any conse- quent indisposition. Let everyone hope so; for in addition to benefiting the consumer directly, the new condition would react favorably upon the tobacco business by increasing consumption. When father and mother go out shop ping the week before Christmas, and must get a lot of things for little Frankie, they find that they have been given a wider variety of gifts that are "always acceptable. " Mamma looks disgustedly at a rock- ing horse papa points out and remarks that Frankie has two. -I' 11 tell you what we'd better do," she says. "I m sure our darling wants a new meer schaum. He s only happy when he's coloring them, and I know hell be so pleased to find one in his dear, little baby sock on Christmas morning." "Well, we'll get him a pipe," says hubby, and a box of good cigars. What do you say? ' "Yes, but be sure and get clear Havana, or oiiby won't touch them You know Frankie was so disgusted, he nearly had a spasm, the day he smoked that horrid five center the Brown baby gave him." At a recent meeting of the women and men cigarmakers of Banner street, St. Luke's, who were locked out by the Im- perial Tobacco Co., the English trust, on account of a dispute over trade customs, the leader of the meeting announced that he had received a sovereign from a shareholder of ihe Imperial Tobacco Co., which he said was sent as conscience money, and which was accompanied by W.

REVOLT AGAINST TRUST IN INDIANA. M»ny Heretofore "Loy*!" Jobbers Kevolt Against Arbitrary Order. Indianapolis. Ind.,Oct. 17. The Continental Tobacco Co. is being kept busy in Indiana, upholding what it considers its own, many of the local jobbers who have been handling trust goods almost exclusively having revolted at an order from the trust not to fill any orders for independent goods, even when they are unsolicited, on penalty of being blacklisted and losing their extra com- mission of 2 per cent or perhaps having their supply entirely cut off. A local wholesale grocery firm which had been selling independent goods was cut off a few days ago and now has to go out on the street to buy enough to fill its orders, of course being obliged to pay full jobbers' prices. Not a single one ofthe dealers in the trust's good graces have dared to make a sale openly to any jobber on the black list. It is understood that one of the largest independent jobbing firms in the city have found themselves unable to stand the pressure and have gone over to the Continental Co., and as a result made a great effort to close out a large stock of independent goods. It is believed that this house could not withstand thettmpia- tion of an offer of 10 per cent rebate on sales in addition to the established 5 per cent jobber's commis>ion. The Continental Co. now msists ubso- lutely that its jobbers must fill no orders for independent goods, and therein much grumbling among local jol)bcrs who de- Clare they are losing good customers right along. Many large orders have been lost from customers of years standing, on account of a refusal to supply ihtm with an occasional box of indepei dent tobacco. The trust makes answer that it has be. come necessary to draw a ligid line, and dealers say that as a result there may be a break between the Continental Cv. and some of its best customers in Indiana. Under the present anan^ement local jobbers, who handle trust goods only, re- ceive monthly checks amounting to 2 per cent of their sales, in addition to the regular commission of 5 per cent. The extra checks have not the same appear- ance as the others and the signature is not known to the jobbers. The remit- tance merely bears a memorandum to the effect that the amount is 2 per cent ofthe tobacco sales for the month, and as the banks ask no questions neither do the J°^^«"- Raymond. t I I I I ♦ ♦♦♦* I Philadelphia Tobacco Trade. | , ♦ . ♦;♦ ♦♦♦ TO HELP INTEREST IN EX- window, the pane of which was entirely POSITION, backed by white paper.

A retail dealer in Philadelphia was complaining thi.-- week of the deadly to bacco worm, which he says is worse in his stock just now than he has ever known before. He said he had been obliged to throwJaway the best part of a large number of boxes because he found the worms had been there fiist. These parasites prey on expensive ci gars, and after drilling a hole in the cigar set about demolishing the interior. Un less theyaie discovered soon they will make the whole boxful useless for smok- ing purposes unless the cigars are broken up for pipes. The creditors o f Dominguez Bros , against whom judgment for $58,000 was entered some weeks ago by George W. Bremer, held a meeting in the office of the referee in bankruptcy on .Monday, and appointed Mr. Bremer as trustee. Mr. Bremer said that no statement could yet be made as to the affairs or prospects of the involved company. With Manufacturers and Jobbers. THEOBALD &OPPENH EI MER OPEN ANOTHER FACTORY. The second new factory within eight days to be opened by Theobald & Op- penheimer.was put in operation on Mon day at Trumbaursville, Pa., where the firm will run on itsQuatility cigar. This factory will not be quite as large as the new one in Perkasie unless it becomes necessary to enlarge it. John M. Kolb, manager for the firm, will get the two new factories in full operation before he leaves for Cuba via Tampa. BUSINESS WITH MANUFACTUR- ERS UP TO NORMAL. The majority of manufacturers were able to say this week that their business was up to normal. Some declared that they were doing considerably more than might be expected at this time of year irrespective of the campaign, showing orders to prove it, while still others who believed that trade was duller than it ought to be with them, agreed that things were picking up steadily. The question was asked a number of the larger manufacturers whether the election scare really interfered wjth their business, and in practically every case the off hand answer was a negative one. A representative of one old firm, how- ever, said that while it might not seem so on the surface, an examination of the relative condition of the books in past presidential years always showed some falling off. This same man, though, said that he elieved the depression was as much the result of precedentjas anything else. "We have^got so much in the habit of believing that things will slow up before November every four years," said he, "that in many cases it produces what might be considered a business hesita- tion. Many men consider that they must go cautiously and look around them to see what the next man is doing. "When you get right down to it there is no real excuse existent at this time for poor business, and I can readily believe those who say they are doing more now than usual. I think we are beginning to outgrow the campaign scare. " Judging superficially and as a casual visitor to the offices of several manufac- turers there was undoubtedly a more generally busy air than a few weeks ago, and if such a point of view is worth any- thing, there is considerable more snap in the market. W. S. Zczepankiewiecz, who has built up a good business on the Koscuiszko cigarette which he has been manufac- turing at 2566 Richmond street, has sold out his business to Martin Grenbowicz, who will continue the business at the same address. The cigarette was named from a prominent Polish general and has a very large consumption among the Polish. It is probable that the manu- facturer will resume business in another locality.

Here and There With the Retailers BETTER OFFER.INGS IN CINCINNATL BARBER SHOP CIGAR STORE GOES OUT OF BUSINESS. The cigar counter in the front of the " Sanitary Barber Shop" on Chestnut street between Brjad and Fifteenth, dropped out of business during the week, and M. B. Murphy, who leases the floor, has not decided whether to go on with the cigar department The counter has been conducted for about a month by a relative of Jacob Bayuk, but it is understood that Mr. Bayuk was back of him. On Thursday it was de- cided to discontinue. The cigar store at Third and Arch streets, on the south west corner, has changed hands, and is now being con- ducted by B. Sharlip, formerly of Shar- lip Bros. Mr. Sharlip said he paid |6oo for the stock and fixtures. He also has a place at Thirteenth and Moore streets, and will run the same general line of goods in the new store. The Third and Arch establishment was formerly owned by M. I. Lifshetz, of Tenth and Arch streets, who sold it not long ago to A. J. Perlove. Amon^ the Salesmen. S. W. Levine, of the Vicente Portu- ondo Co., left this week for a trip through the Central States. Mr. Levine had just finished a trip for his house with good results. M. Scheinfield, of 1601 Ridge avenue, made extensive purchases of real estate last week. His acquisitions are situated on North Seventh and Franklin streets. Letters from Lester Newburger, who is South for Stewart & Newburger, appa- rently show business in that section to be unaffected by the campaign. Victor Newman, well known in Phila- adelphia, has left his present employ- ment and gone with Larus & Bros., of Richmond, Va. Frank Pulver, of the Miami Valley Tobacco Co., was in town during the week and told a cheerful tale. Jenkins, of Cuesta, Rey &. Co., paid a visit to this city early in the week, and reported fair business. Mosedale, of Sanchez & Haya, of New York, took in Philadelphia this week in a cheerful frame of mind. Among New York salesmen who got into town during the week was Alces, for Simon Batt & Co. W. B. McBurney, of Lozana, Nistal & Co. , of New York, was in town. Steubenville Dealers Join H&nds WitK New Protective Mercha.nts' Association. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 17. Offerings at last week's cigar leaf sales were 89 cases, the lightest for some time. As at the previous auction fine Zinimers and Pennsylvania wrappers and binders made up the bulk of oflTerings. There was a good attendance of manufacturers and competition was keen throughout, especially for medium and choice pack- ings. Good Zimmers ranged 6^@i6 cents and choice cases of Pennsylvania from 8X(S " ^ cents. The limited sup- ply of Dutch and Wisconsins was of a rather inferior lot and sold from 2 «!^@ 5 '4 cents. The best features were 3 cases of fancy Havana wrappers. Un- der spirited bidding these realized I29, $46.25 and I46. 50 per 100 pounds. Napoleon Lajoie, the famous base ball player, who with W. R. Armour, man- ager of the Cleveland American League, conducted a cigar store at Cleveland, has sold his interest in the business to Mr. Armour. A number of cigar dealers at Steuben- ville have become members of the Re- tail Merchants Association, a new organ- ization which purposes to abate trade abuses, disseminate useful information, to expose fraud, and to assist members in collecting delinquent accounts. The Nemeyer Tobacco Co. , recently granted a charter, will build a factory at Findnly as soon as a suitable location can be secured. H. M. V^ore, whose store at Homer was recently destroyed by fire, has reem- barked in business a few doors from the old site. Lee Cahn, Union Trust Building, Cin- cinnati, is devoting considerable space in his show windows to the display of trays, jars, etc. , covered with cigar labels. He reports that the fad of collecting bands is still the boom. F. W. McMahan, who has conducted a store on Gallia street. Akron, for many years, has declined a flattering oflfer from the Continental Co., to go on the road again with their lines. In years gone by "Pop," as he is familiarly known, was one of the Continental's best men. Federal Judge Cochran, sitting at Cov- ington, Ky , handed down an order iast Saturday in the involuntary bankruptcy case of the Cincinnati Tobacco Ware- house Co. , against Sam J. Claxton, to the effect that the petition be consolidated with the voluntary petition filed by Claxton, at Franklort, and that the whole matter be referred to the referee in bankruptcy. The Ironton Cigar Co.'s new factory is turning out 45,000 stogies per day, ac- cording to S. A. Patterson, the manager of the establishment The Deisel-Wemmer Cigar Co., of Lima, O. , has let the plans for the con- struction of a 60x80 foot addition to their factory, which will increase their output to 5,000,000 cigars a week and give em- ployment to a half thousand more cigar- makers. The Deisel-Wemmer Co. has waged a two years fight against the trust which located an opposition factory here.

READING TRADE GOOD. All the Factories are Working Large Forces On Full Time. Readmg, Pa., Oct. i8. 1904. The cigar trade generally in this dis trict is very good, and all the factories are working full forces. Numerous rep- resentatives of leaf houses are now visit- ing this section. J. U. Fehr, of J. U. Fehr & Son, is viewing tobacco in Connecticut, and will put up a packing for his firm, Mr. Berman, repiesenting the Victor Thorsch Co. of AUentown, is visiting this city and is effectively exploiting the Bachelor cigar in this section. Some large poster signs have been put up throughout the city in aid of the work. The hulk wmdows of J. U. Fehr & Sons sto'e, at Seventh and Franklin stieeis, are this week given over to a dis- play of the Don Rex 5c cigar made by P. H. Hilderbrand, of Reading, and the Ke\ stone Buts, a product made by the Keystone Tobacco Co , of Reading, which i s being energetically pushed heie now. Several Reading cigar manufacturers h.ive been informed bythe Winget man- ufacturing Co. that they have been awaided hilver Medals on their exhibits at the World's Fair at St. Louis. BUYERS PAY 13 CENTS in LANCASTER J. G. Usner, R E. Jacoby and H. S. Kissinger, Rothsville cigar manufactur- ers, were prime movers in a Republican rally meeting at that place last Friday evening. Chas. D. Brown, son of L. R. Brown, cigar manufacturer at West Earl, is on a Western business trip. S. N. Wolf, of Wolf & Hackman, at Akron, has returned from a three weeks* trip to New York and the East, where he found trade fairly satisfactory. A. N. Wolf, of Akron, will leave this week on a several weeks' business trip in the West. W. S. Bare, of Litit/, recently booked an order for nearly a half million of his "The Doctor ' 5 cent cigar, from a large distributing house in Western Pennsyl- vania. A. P. Snader, of Ephrata, is busier than he had been for months. A new cigar factory will soon be op- ened at Lebanon, by John H. Witter, of Newminstown. who his secured a part of the old paper mill on North Eighth street, owned by the C. & L. R. R. Co. %%%%%>%%« HIGH PRICES FOR NEW ENGLAND TOBACCO CROP. Riva.lry in Tob&.cco Fields Results in Abnorm8k.l Prices. Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 17. The tone of the leaf market in old goods and of the 1903 crop is rather buoyant, and a fair trade is being done. Increased activity prevailed among a few buyers of the new crop on the poles last week, and prices were run up per- ceptibly, from 11;^ to I2>^ cents being paid. F"or a time the buyers of the American Tobacco Co. seemed to have the field pretty much to themselves, but last week representatives of the United Cigar Manufacturers also took a hand, and prices began to jump, several lots being sold for 13c. John Slater & Co., stogie manufactur ers, have had a steady trade, and indica- tions are that they will complete a banner year. Martin Kinports, of Ephrata, is super- intending the erection of a new cigar factory at Hopeland, Lancaster county, .or the United Cigar Manufacturers. Many Growers Expect to Pay off Mort« gages by 1904 Tobacco. A report from SufiReld Conn., confirms the siaement that 1904 New England tobacco is being sold at unusually high prices. The teport declares: TheSuffield crop of 2,700 acres will net growers nearly f 1.000,000. About 25 per cent of the crop is estimated to have been sold. The three preceding crops of New England tobacco were unsatisfactory, and the 1904 crop comes upon a market depleted o f desirable New England goods. Hundreds of tobacco growers will free their farms from moitgages this fill. JVDGE LANDS HARD ON TOBACCO TRUST. Ch&rj(es the Grand Jury to investigate Methods in Tennessee. Nashville. Tenn., Oct. 17. Federal Judge C. D. Clark delivered a vigorous charge to the Grand Juiy here today, in which he called special atten- tion to the tobacco trust. Prominence has been given to the tobacco corpora- tion in this section by the efforts (rf Congressman Gaines to secure P'ederal intervention against its operation. Judge Clark said that complaint had been made that this trust had fixed the price at which growers must sell tobacco or remain farmers without a market. J. H. STILES . . . Leaf Tobacco. . .

Then arrange with the warehouses at Clarksville, Hopkinsville and Springfield and such other places as may best suit the shipper to receive, store and hold it for sale until such prices as may be fixed by the Executive Commit- tee of the association can be obtained. "Resolved, further, That in order to create a fund to meet any expenses which may accrue, and also a fund for our pro- tection, we pledge ourselves to pay into the treasury of the association 50 cents on every JSioo worth oftobaccoof out present crop, whether sold through the agency of the association or otherwise. "Resolved, further, That no liability shall lall on any member of the associa- tion further than that pledged in this resolution. 1 "Resolved, further, That these resolu- tions shall be presented by the Chairman of this county to the Executive Commit- tee of the association for adoption, if deemed advisable by them, and with to- bacco in our warehouses advances can be obtained on it, thereby enabling the share cropper and the less provident farmer to meet pressing demands, and enable the association to overcome a difficulty which has been looking them in the face." PEKMANCNT FILOriTSTO RETAILERS Vnited Kingdom Alliance in Fight Against English Trust Benefits Dealers. The United Kingdom Tobacco Dealers' Alliance, of England, in its sturdy fight against the Imperial Tobacco Co. , the English Trust, has adopted several schemes in its trade methods which be- speak an eflfective system. The Alliance realizes that it must combat perfected system with system and the arrangements which have been made in putting on the market the Alliance's own manufactured brands are made with t h e object of securing permanent profits to the retailets. With this view, each of the manufac- turers, when selected by the governing committee, were required to sign a deed binding them to allow the same profits in five or ten years' time as are shown when the goods are placed before the public next week. Regulations regarding the selling prices nlso restrict the retailers from "cutting." Minimum selling prices have been drawn up, and should any attempt be made to break the regulations in this respect the Alliance will at once put a stop to it by refusing to supply the goods. AMERICAN MACHINERY IN GERMANY Labor Saving Devices for Manufacture of Tobacco, Produced in )he United States, in Favor in Fatherland. Washington, D. C, Oct. 17. An American consular attache, in Germany, writing to Washington con- cerning tobacco manufacture i n that country, says that the use of machinery of German, French and American de- signs is common in the better factories in Germany for all processes of tobacco and cigar manufacture where machinery has been practicable. Inquiries made at and by the American Consulate at Mannheim would indicate a desire on the part of the cigar and tobacco manu- facturer in the locality to avail himself of labor saving devices as far as possible. Ten trade journals devoted to tobacco are published in Germany and are ex- tensively used for advertising machinery and other appliances used by the trade. The feeling of hostility and alarm aroused by the introduction of American and British capital, especially in cigarette manufacture, i n Germany, has not wholly subsided. The multitude of small manufacturers in country villages and elsewhere — over 7,000 factories and 200,000 workers, of whom 160,000 are on cigars— is referred to by the press as the surest defense against any general consolidation of the tobacco business of the Empire. Portions of Baden and that part of Bavaria known as the Rhine Pfalz form one of the largest and by far the most important tobacco region of the Empire. Baden itself leads all the German States in acreage planted in tobacco and in the importance of its cigar manufacture. Recently published statistics by the department of factory inspection for Baden show that the number of cigar factories in Baden was 729, giving em- ployment to 37.720 workmen, or more than in any other branch of manufactur- ing in the Grand Duchy.

[Special to the Tobacco World.] Chicago, III, Oct. 14. The Western Cigar Box Manufac- turers' Association held its fall meeting hereon October 1 1, and representatives from all the States in that territory were present Important action was taken toward box prices, an addition being made to the old price list, making a charge hereafter for private trimmings for boxes, as follows : $2. 50 per ream for common, and $5 per ream for fancy. It was shown that while there had been a slight reduction in the price of cedar for boxes, there were additional ex- penses for labor, odd sized boxes, etc, which would about equal the cheaper lumber. R. J. Hayssen, of Milwaukee, is president of the association. The members of the association almost without exception stand by t h e prices they quote, and every member gets a fair profit for his work. One feature of these conventions is the attendance of the supply men. Among those who mingled with the Western As- sociation members were the following: H. L. Sheip, H. H. Sheip Manufacturing Co , Philadelphia; J. N. Fossett, George D. Emery Co. , Chelsea, Mass. ; D. C. Gillett, Cuban- American Veneer tScTrans- poitation Co. , Tampa, Fla. ; Wm. Martin Altman, John J. Crooke Co.. Chicago; "Johnnie" Schmitt,Schmidt& Co., N.Y. ; Elmer Thatcher, Chicago manager tor Geo. Schlegel, N. Y. ; H. T. Whalen, the ' string man." representing I. Curtis & Co , Chicago. The annual meeting of the association, when officers will be elected, will be held in Chicago, in February, 1905. H. L. Sheip, who is very popular among Western cigar box men, an- nounced that on his return home from the present trip he is to be married. Anderson. LIGHT RECEIPTS IN VIRGINIA MARKETS. Lynchburg, Va., Oct. 15. The receipts of tobacco in this market continued very light for the week, the unfavorable weather continuing to knock the market in the head. Prices remained about the same, and all the new crop has been housed and cured. Practically the sa-ne report comes from Danville, nearly all the week's offerings being stripped tobacco, and a very slight tendepcy to better prices was noted. There was good inquiry for old tobacco. There is little doing in the Richmond market and the exchange will not open until November i. Agents and buyers of the trust make regular rounds and buy fillers direct from the farmers. Wrappers are bought on the floor of the exchange, — The retail cigar business of Joe Price, of Parkersbiirg, W. Va,, who has been adjudged bankrupt, has been taken by the Clendenning Company, The lia- bilities were large and assets nothing. Price will go on the road tor a Baltimore firm. RECEIVER FOR COMMONWEALTH TOBACCO CO. New York Firm's Liabilities Exceed As* sets by Nearly $700,000. With liabilities placed at $772,000 and assets at $75,000, the Commonwealth Tobacco Co., of 232 and 234 East Forty- Third street, New York, and Lynchburg, Va,, has been given a receiver. Vice- Chancellor Emery, at Newark, appointed Jerome Taylor as receiver, i n a suit brought by George P. Butler, of New York, as stockholder and creditor. The complainant is a creditor for $50,371, money loaned to the company, and holds $276,000 of the debenture bonds of the company. The New York assets are estimated at $5,000. The receiver must give bonds for $ 1 5o,- 000 and the company is restrained from collecting or paying out money which may be due. Vice-Chancellor Emery also granted a rule for permanent receiver- ship, returnable in Newark on Nov. 9. The Commonwealth Co. was incorpor- ated in New Jersey in April, 1902, with a capital of $500,000, which in February, 1 904, was increased to $900,000. Leaf Tobacco Markets. CONNECTICUT VALLEY Lichtenstene & Hale, tobacco buyers, have been around today asking one or two men, whose tobacco they had bought, to be sure and take down as much of their crops as they can handle if it gets damp enough to strip, for they are in a hurry to get a carload assorted and ready for the market a s soon a s it can be force-sweated and dried off enough to show. The truth of t h e story is that there is no stock in the market that the manufacturers desire to* handle, and, as a consequence, they have been buying from hand to mouth just to keep square with their customers. It will be close to the first of January before any tobacco now hanging on the poles can be stripped and assorted and sweat and dried off and ready to show, and perhaps a longer time. It is not often that the buyer has to go around and ask the producers to take down their tobacco, especially in October, and early in the month at that. These things are only straws to tell the direction of the wind, so don't be in a hurry to sell a good thing too cheap, and don* t he so foolish as to go back on a good thing. But try to get a good living price for your tobacco and do not be in any manner fiightened, for if you have a good clean crop it will be wanted, every pound of it. The news from the growers in all parts of the tobacco growing districts is very quiet; no recent sales of any importance tKsit ADVERTISING ) CIGAR and TOBACCO r *^ .

U :^l '^UFACTURERS OF Cigars among the growers, or at least 1 have not heard of any, nor is there any account of any sales in the newspapers. So I think the buyers are holding off to let the grow- ers cool down a little. I hope the grow- ers will sense the situation correctly and understand that they are selling to an empty market, for if I can size up the situa- tion right, there has not been so empty a market as exists today for a number of years, and what little the brokers have is mostly trash. By the appearance of the export statements, what is left is not "good" enough to ship, as the list for a number of weeks has not amounted to as many cases as 1 have seen in one week in other years when we had a lot of poor quality tobacco, the sales for export some weeks working up to 1.500 to 2, coo cases. So it appears that the shippers are only waiting for the new crop, the same as our importers wait for the new inscriptions to be offered in Holland of the Sumatra. But a good many cases of 1902 Pennsyl- vania have been dug up and sold the past week. I have heard this evening that quite a number of the farmers are taking down from one to two acres so they will have some to show. Some find upon examining their sheds that there are some stems that are fat. Well, let it hang, for it will dry down quickly after this damp time. About twenty acres of to- bacco have been taken down at the Smith Farm, Feeding Hills. A few fine lots of seed leaf have been sold on West street at prices ranging from i7>i(3/2oc — American Cultivator. hands is still being taken over quite freely, the following sales coming to notice: John Bong, 14a at 6c John Rupee, 30CS at 8 and 2C.

Thomas Sanders, 35CS at 6c The week has brought too much rainy and cool weather to benefit the curing tobacco, and much of the late harvested needs a good deal of fine weather to see it safely beyond danger of fat stems. Shipments, 550 cases. — Reporter. EDGERTON, WIS. There are buyers enough riding the growing districts these days to take over the crop in a very short time, if they were nly as eager to do business as in other seasons. The entire buying force of the American Cigar Co. has taken the field during the week, and there are very few sections that are not pretty thoroughly anvassed. The effect of so many buyers chasing about causes farmers to hold firm prices, which in a measure accounts for the moderate movement. These condi- tions do not prevent the placing in the aggregate of a good many contracts at prices that rule around about 8 cents for the wrapper and binder grades. A few sample sales are: Ben Sveon, 14a at 10 and ic. Frank Page, loa at 8 and 2c. Anthony Anderson, 5)^ a at 8 and ic. The remnant of old leaf in growers' CLARKSVILLE. TENN. M. H. Clark & Bro.

ASSOCIATION STAMPS DEALERS' BEST PROTECTION. Appeal to Consumers. But New Scheme of Trust Causes Much Guessing. Chicago, Oct 28. The war between local dealers and the trust is being continued, the independ- ents conducting the most spectacular end of the fray. The trust invariably Vmoves in a mysterious way" in the accomplish- ment of its schemes, and that fact makes it impossible at this time to meas- ure the progress of the contest Probably the most important gun fired by this side, up to the present, is the circular letter received in Chicago from the Continental Tobacco Co. which states in part: "We have formulated a new trade plan to take the place of our former allotment ofTer, and as this plan will go into effect on November i, 1904, our present allotment offer is withdrawn, effective at the close of business Octo- ber 31. 1904. Just what the new scheme is cannot be learned yet but it is believed that those who have accepted or who shall accept the "new trade plan" will be bound hard and fast as the majority of jobbers who are now in on the allotment offer have been practically forced to push trust made goods to the exclusion of all others. The present allotment offer is an agree- ment between the trust and the jobber of trust tobaccos and cigars, by the terms of which the jobber is obliged to sell a speci- fied number of pounds of trust tobacco, or a specified number of cigars, within a stated period, under penalty of forfeiting a certain rebate, or percentage, which is likewise specified. In addition to this the jobber entering into the agreement is obliged to show to the satisfaction of the trust that he has not cut the prices (which are dictated by the trust) before the check for the amount of his rebate will be forwarded by the trust Some believe that the new scheme will look out particularly for the favored job- ber giving him opportunities to undersell independents. In direct contrast to this quiet but business- like method of carrying on the fight is the campaign being conducted by the local dealers' association. ' The Chi- cago branch of the national association is even advertising in the daily papers in order that their appeal will be sure to reach consumers directly The adver- tisement is as follows : AN APPEAL TO THE CITIZENS OF CHICAGO. Patronize Home Merchants. The Independent Cigar and Tobacco Dealers of this city appeal to all men in this community for their support and patronage.

' Some of the papers are also consenting to print hard luck stories from oldiime dealers who have been forced out of business, either by the underselling of these opponents, or by being turned out of their stores as a result of exorbitantly raised rent. Some of the dealers say that they have been offered jobs as managers of the trust stores after they have been forced out of their own places. The independents here declare that they mean business this time, and pro- pose to find out whether they can count on the consumer in any degree, if he is made to understand that he will be bene- fited in the long run. INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS RE- PORTS MANY CIGAR.MAKERS. The repoit of the sixih international congress of cigarmakers unions, held at Amsterdam, which has just been re- ceived b y the International L'nion at Chicago, embodies the fact that accord- ing to the last census 104,479 persons were employed in the cigar and tobacco industry in Germany, of whom 61,686 were females. In Belgium 10,318 persons are em- ployed in the industry of whom 3,825 are women or girls. Since 1900 there have been seventeen great strikes, of which thirteen were successful. In Holland 25,000 persons are employed in the tobacco business. LEAF GROWN UNDER TENT. Wisconsin Farmer Successful in Raising Sumatra This Waty. Although a number of growers have tried experiements in growing tobacco under tents, cloth and the like, the ma- jority have been unsuccessful, and it has by no means been demonstrated that such methods can be successful in this country. A farmer at Sauk City, Wis., has raised a couple of acres under a tent this year which is said to be of fine quality. The leaves produced are very thin, Su- matra being grown exclusively. They are of lighter color than those raised in the open field and as soon as they attain the proper size and texture, are taken from the parent plant and threaded or strung upon twine strings which are fast- ened to a lath in such a way that the leaves produced are very thin. The laths are then hung in a long building for the leaves to cure. The grower states that it cost him about $800 per acre to raise his crop un- der cover, of which $500 can be counted for the tent The cloth of this is very thin, similar to cheese cloth, and is made for this particular purpose. With proper usage it will last two years the chief danger being from storms which are likely not only to tear the tent but also damage the crop. Each acre yielded about 2,000 pounds. "BLACK THREADS." NEW BR.AND OF SMOKING TOBACCO ON THE MARKET. The Gem City Tobacco Co., of Day- ton, O., is having a run on its new brand of Long Cut Pipe Smoking Tobacco, "Black Threads," which they are putting out among jobbers in large quantities. " Black Threads" i s manufactured from the finest Kentucky and Tennessee leaf, packed by hand, and the cut is clean and long, making it a fine strong pipe smoking. It is packed in 313 oz. packages, put up in 5 lb cartons, and shipped in 25 lb, 50 lb and 100 lb cases. Each 3 '3 oz package has an inner lining of wax paper which preserves the aroma and keeps the tobacco at all times fresh and sweet It bears the Union Label, and carries a first class premium list "Black Threads" costs the wholesaler 28c lb, it sells to the retailer at 32c lb, and goes to the consumer at loc package, or 3 packages for 25c. This enables the wholesaler to make 4c lb, or 1 5 per rent profit, and the retailer makes from 40c to 80c a carton, or from 25 to 50 per cent profit, according to whether he sells it all for IOC a pack.ige or sells 3 packages for 25c. Prices quoted above are F. 0. B. ; terms 2 per cent off for cash in 10 days, or 60 days net The new tobacco is guaranteed as good as anything on the market in the way of a heavy cut smoking tobacco and the prices quoted are cheaper than many brands of this class of goods now selling.

T^HE following are suggestions made by a writer for the drug trade who offers his ideas in order to benefit those druggists who have a cigar counter. It is not at all certain that a good proportion oi cigar dealers could not obtain profit from some of the suggestions as but a small percentage of ret.iilers are really experts in the care of stock. The writer declares that the average five or ten cent cigar needs to be kept only fairly moist^ust enough so as to be agreeable to hold it in the mouth. It will not injure it to get a little dry so long as it is made right when put on sale. The imported Havanas will not be spoiled by keeping. Age will ordinarily improve them and they can be moistened up again when they get too dry. But good Porto Rico cigars are a very different proposition. And right here I would like to say that doubtless many of the dealers who have had poor success with these goods probably have their lack of knowledge how to care for them to blame. The Porto Rican stock should be bought as green as you can get it If the cigars have been dried out at all, don't take them. Keep these goods as green as you can. They are all foil wrapped and will not dry in a cold or a moist place. A Porto Rico cigar that has been dry once will never be anything more than a bunch of hay afterwards. Keep such cigars wet until they go into the case. If they are so green that they will not burn, let them stand open on the case for a day. It is a good fault It is a scheme worth while any- way to keep a box or so of the cigars that you are pushing principally on top of the case where they will get especial attention. You can buy the Porto Rican goods at a price that will give you a nice margin to play on. Don' t expect them to be pretty cigars, for they are apt to look rather rough, but they are the " pure qviill " — nothing but tobacco in its una- dulterated state. The smokers that like them will slick to them and will not go back to the "doped" goods, though they may switch off on to higher priced Havana cigars. When >ou have your case properly moistened put in the boxes in the way that will best show the goods, and show the box covers as well. There are patent fasteners that will make the back of a box stand up straight but they are a needless expense. When you take the nail out of the box drive it down through the cover just as it was before but at the back ; then open up the box carefully, and the lid will stand at an angle. The boxes will take up much less room in this way than in the old style. They look better, too. With the boxes properly arranged in the case, each one should be marked with the price and kind of cigars it con- tains. Use black cards with the inscrip- tion put on in white ink. This makes a far more attractive card that any other. The uniformity of the card adds, too. Stand them upright in the front end of each box. They look best this way and are easily read. Always have plenty of good matches on the top of the case and encourage your customers to take all they want. Matches are cheap. Don't be stingy with them. Offer a small box to every purchaser. Not many will take one, but )t looks generous and is not really ex- pensive. Another thing that counts is to have plenty of the little cigar pockets, prefer- ably the ones that come in long strips separating each cigar by itself so that the wrapper will not be broken by the cigars rubbing against one another. ARCTIC TONGUE SHIELD. \ DECIDED NOVELTY in the trade '^ is what is called an Arctic Tongue Shield, which consists of a little ring of rubber with a flap, which goes on the mouthpiece of a pipe, for the purpose of breaking the direct stream of smoke on the tongue, making it cooler and pre- venting the tongue being "bitten." It also makes the mouthpiece soft and easy on the teeth. The invention is patented by Harry Gardner, formerly with the American Tobacco Co. , and is now manufactured by a firm in Washington, I). C, being put out to go to the consumer for 5 cents apiece. NEW WINDOW SIGN. IJfERE is a sign hanging in one of the cigar store windows in Milwaukee, and it is so large that everyone who looks in the window can see it. The large initial letters run down the side are in red, and the rest is in the square blue letters. The sign reads: Come In Get A Real Smoke At a little distance the effect is very good. W. A. HAUG HAS SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCED "PATRONS" BRAND. PATRONS Cl'^4^ WHEN, about six months ago, W. A. Haug, a popular retail dealer at 17 North Ninth street, Philadelphia, first commenced to introduce his "Patrons" brand of cigars he was fortunate in having struck a happy medium. That is to cay, the general idea of the brand was to please a large number of his most prom- inent and principal patrons. The label is a plain half tone picture showing small photographs of twenty- four of his regular patrons, in whose honor the cigar was named, a reproduction of which is shown herewith which differs from the original only in the matter of the border, which on the label is of special design and printed in red, while the main body of the label is in black. I The cigar is from the factory of 1. Lewis & Co., of Newark, N. J., andtits creation is due in a large measure to suggestions from Z. J. Norris, the Philadel- phia representative of the factory. The goods are made up in six shapes and sizes, but the piincipal sellers are the Londres, Club House, and Non Plus Ultra. In fact, the run on these three sizes has become so strong that little attention is now being given to the others. The "Patrons" brand was an instantaneous hit, owing to its novelty and sat- isfactory quality, and trade has grown on it so rapidly that the cigar is today one of the largest selling brands in Mr. Haug's extensive stock and large variety of goods in the nickel Hne. THE TOBACCO WORLD Found $86 / THE story of this old cash-drawer is full of suggestion for merchants. For y fifty years it served in a big general store near Toronto, Canada, whose '^ proprietor allows us to tell its history, withholding his name. At first the merchant was alone in using the drawer. Then for many years all his clerks had access to it. A few years ago a cashier was installed at an enclosed desk on a raised platform. Recently, when a National Multiple Cash Register was installed, the cashier's desk was torn out. Half a bushel of dust and rubbish had collected under the platform. The proprietor laughed when the N. C. R. salesman asked that the rubbish be sifted. He gasped when the sifting was completed. Eighty-six dollars in gold, bank notes and silver coins were rescued from the refuse. Yet he had never missed the money. He did not know it was gone. Nor did he know how much more he had lost. The eighty-six dollars covered the cashier's administration— only a small fraction of the cash-drawer's long service. A National Cash Register would have prevented the disappearance of even one cent of that $86. It gives an absolute check on every transaction involving money in your store. It stops the leaks that are drainmg the life- blood of your business. Help us to help you stop them. That's our business. You ought to make it your business, too.

Under the arrangement, each coupon accepted by the dealer for a cigar will be redeemed by the United News Co. for four cents when presented with a certificate which will be in each box. As an additional incentive the United News Co. makes the following offer : "Two hundred and fifty dollars will be given in prizes to dealers bringing us the largest number of coupons, the money to be distributed as follows: To the dealer bringing the largest number, I50 m gold ; next largest, S25 ; third largest, I15; fourth largest, |io; to the next five will be given a J5 gold piece each; next ten, $2.50 each; next one hundred (i each."

Pa., is the pro- prietor, is placing on the market a new brand of long cut tobacco under the title of "Demand" with wh,,t would seem an especially attractive proposition to jobbers. ••Demand*' long cut is put up in various styles namely i,'^ oz. foil packages. 3/2. 8 and 16 oz. pickages, wrapped in blue paper. In order to introduce the goods q.nckly the Lancaster Tobacco Works are offering a tree deal of ten pounds extra with each 100 pound order received prior to December 31, ,904. I his tobacco is claimed to be one of the hnest products in its line that has vet been offered for either chewing or smok- ing purposes, and will be sold by the manufacturers direct to the jobbers. The goods are made entirely of li^ht sweet Burly tobaccos of the choicest se- lectums Several missionary men have al.eady been placed in the field and it IS the intention to work the coal fields in a particularly aggressive manner. Job- bers in that territory will therefore profit by looking into the matter at their ear. Iiest opportuity. This is not the first undertaking of its kind by the Lancaster Tobacco VVorks their opperations in the past being so we 1 known that it is unnecessary to refer to them in this instance.

Retail Business Is Good Ii\ Wisconsin. Varied Schemes of Milwaukee Dealers Attract Much Trade. Milwaukee, Wis.. Nov. i. Just now the hunting season is on in Wisconsin.

To Be Continued Next Issue, feeling in the trade as nobody has any idea which way the cat will jump. A number of dealers who have been hand- ling trust and independent goods together so as to fill orders, have been complain- ing rather bitterly of the commissions allowed by the American Tobacco Co. , which, they say, are out of all proportion to the proper percentage. Now, what many of the jobbers and dealers are afraid of is that the trust will chop the commissions still lower, and an effort is being made to interest the public in the situation with the hope of fright- ening off their taskmasters. One local dealer said in an interview : " It appears to be only a question of time when the trust will have the dealers cigars, 50 m a box; one box was of heavy Cuban tobacco, and the other was light domestic ; one good pipe, and four cobs, three tiny boxes of smoking to- bacco; four boxes of matches. The whole "kit" sold for J5. and the dealer said he sold 109 in two weeks. He re- marked, on the side, that the same boxes would do for campers, for gentlemen's smoking dens, or Christmas presents. "Seventy-five per cent of my cigar trade is in 10 cent goods and the call is mostly for clear Havanas," said Edmund Z. Thatcher. "A year ago my trade wanted cheaper goods.

Law Prohibiting the Export of Palm BsLrk Vsed for Coverings. H. J. Squiers, Minister to Havana, has written to the Department of Com- merce and Labor describing a law pub- lished in the " Gaceta Oficial," prohibit- ing the exportation of '< Yaguas." "Yaguas," are the thin, brown, net- like coverings of leaves growing aronnd the fruit of the palm bearing that name. They grow large enough to wrap up fifteen or twenty cigars, which are there- by kept moist and given a particular and much-appreciated fragrance. The law was framed to prevent the exportation of this wrapper to countries producing a tobacco inferior to that of Cuba, but which, by using the Cuban wrapper, are able to place their cigars on the market as Cuban, thus lowering the present high standard of that most important Cuban production. The quantity of "yaguas" exported during the year 1903 was 132 tons, of which 65 tons were exported to the United States and 64 tons to Ger- many.

A bell tinkles, and the customs oflficer immediately fires at the dog, but if he misses the animal the smuggled goods cannot afterwards be impounded, for all goods that have once got over the frontier are considered as having paid duty. After a dog has been shot at two or three times, and has got away, he be- comes extremely wary, and will wait until the officer is at the furthest end of his "beat," and will then endeavor to pass the spring gates with as little effort as possible, so as not to set the bell ringing.

We Will Save You Money. Novel Way of Getting Contraband Goods Across Italian Frontier. A report from Geneva, Switzerland, states that within the past three months nearly three hundred dogs have been shot by Italian customs officers on the Swiss-Italian frontier while smuggling tobacco and sugar from Switzerland. If the goods are once over the border they cannot be impounded, but under the law are considered as having paid duty. The fact that these articles are heavily taxed in Italy has led to a great deal of smuggling, especially of tobacco, and the Italian Government has fenced off the frontier with high strips of wire netting, of which the gates are fitted with alarm bells, while customs officers armed with riflces are on guard every hundred yards or so. It has thus become almost impossible for men to carry on smuggling without being caught, and consequently they have taught dogs to do the work. The animal is first taken to an Itahan village near the frontier, where he is pet- ted and well fed. After some weeks of this the dog is taken to the nearest Swiss village, where he is half starved, and where a man in the uniform of an Italian customs officer gives him an occasional beating. After a few days of this treatment a parcel of tobacco is fastened to the dog's I collar and he is set free. He immediately makes for the frontier to reach his home on the Italian 'side, and when he catches sight of an^^Italian customs officer he remembers his beat- ings, and does his best to avoid icoming near him. The dog wanders up and down.^the CONNECTICUT VALLEY The 1904 crop of tobacco is fast being pressed into the bundle, and I think fully one-half of the crop is already in the process of being stripped, and most of the remaining half will be taken down the first damp spell that comes. Much that is still hanging would have been taken down last Thursday and Friday had there not been some fat stems to be found in it still. Some have shoved the poles of the lower tier together, so as to make room to pass the upper tiers down through, as there are very few, if any, fat stems in the second and third tiers. The lower tier is more easy to reach by dry or damp air than the tiers above, and per- haps that is one reason why the plants ate curing more slowly, as the doors are closed a good share of the time, and the heavy, damp, cool air of the night pass, ing under the sills and being absorbed by the tobacco on the ground tier, causes it to cure more slowly, and as a conse- quence we have the uncured or fat stems. If the lower tier gets thoroughly cooled it takes a long time in the morning to bring the temperatuie up to the point of curing, acting in a decree as though it were placed in cold storage. With the sheds as they are now, it mi-ht be well to open the small doors as early in the morning as practicable and allow free circulation to take place, thus bringing the temperature of the ^hed up to the point where the drying process will go forward. A few buyers are riding in this local- ity. but have bought very little as I have heard.

The Sperry & Hutchinson Co., which runs the green trading stamp store has come out with a peculiar offer which, as they truly enough state on their own circular, is "unprecedented."

LancflLster Growers AssociaLtion and Leaf TobaLCCo Board of Trade Provided one of the Best Exhibits at the St. Louis Fair. Tell on 8k. De8k.ler who Sells to Minors, and Collect H&lf the Fine. Cincinnati, O. , Nov. 4, 1904. A sharp watch is being kept in this city on certain dealers who are suspected of selling cigarettes to minors. A num- ber of cigar and candy dealers have al- ready been fined or held for court, and the crusade is getting more vigorous. There is one reason why it is not so hard to get evidence against the offend- ers. According to the statutes, persons giving information resulting in the arrest and conviction of dealers selling cigar- ettes to minors will receive one-half of the fine. The law piovides a fine of not less than $25 or more than $100 for a first offense or an imprisonment of two to thirty days in jail. For a second of- fense the fine ranges from I50 to J300 and the term of imprisonment is in- creased. The fact that one-half of the fine is given to the person furnishing in- formation that leads to the conviction, it is thought will materially aid the cru- sade to stop the practice of selling to minors. St. Louis, Nov. 4, 1904. That Pennsylvania tobacco growers can be ranked wiih the most successful and modernized agriculturists in the country, is amply demonstrated by the display of Pennsylvania grown cigar leaf tobacco, which is a noticeable feature of that department of the Fair's exhibits. The Lancaster County Tobacco Grow- ers' Association and the Lancaster Leaf Tobacco Hoard of Trade joined hands at the commencement of the Fair for the purpose of making a worthy show of the local product, and that they have suc- ceeded admirably can be appreciated by the above illustration, a reproduction of a photograph of the exhibit which occu- pies a prominent position among the Pennsylvania agricultural exhibits. The display consists of four Keystone show cases in which are placed the vari- ous samples, artistically arranged. The four cases form a square space, each angle being rendered attractive by the mounting of a plaster paris cast of the State coat-of-arms. The exhibit was installed under the personal sujiervision of William De Haven, a well known leaf packer of Lancaster, who was sent especially to St. Louis for that purpose by the above mentioned associations.

Fighting fire with fire, local independ- ent dealers have a plan on foot to estab- lish a big central tobacco factory in Chicago for the manufacture of anti- trust cigars and tobaccos. As was told in this paper two weeks ago, the trouble in Chicago results, ac- cording to the dealers, from efforts of the American Tobacco Co. to drive estab- lished dealers, who would not bow to them, out of business. The dealers have formed themselves into the Independent Tobacco Manufac- turers' Promoting Co. .have taken offices, and have received a great many congrat- ulatory answers from the circulars re- cently sent out to enlist support for the movement. The plan is to have every one of the 15,000 dealers in the city own at least one share in the independent plant to be built in Chicago, to compete with the trust's factories. The dealers are subscribing for the Sio share certificates and the retail men ex- press themselves as thankful for the in- ception of a scheme to relieve them from the methods employed by the trust. The dealers also propose to enlist the support of others. The independent plant which it is proposed to erect will be unique in that the men who buy from it and who sell its goods will be the men who have an interest in its ownership. New brands of tobacco and cigars will be put out. The independent plant aims to make these new brands superior in every way. W'ith this first independent plant in successful operation, an opening will be made that will encourage capital to in- vest in other lines at present controlled entirely by the trust. If enthusiasm counts for anything, the plan will go through and the plant will at least be put in operation. Whether it can make a successful fight has yei to be determined. Chicago re tailers, or a good body of them, seem to be a thoroughly disgusted lot as regards conditions up until this time, and they are in just the right mood to carry through such a scheme as this with a whoop. NEW CROP SOON BE IN. Prosperous Business for Coming Season. Louisville, Ky. , Nov 4. The dark tobaccos of last year's crop are .ibout all in the warehouses in Louis- ville, Ky. , and the few offetings in that grade are mostly of a poor quality. Warehouse men expect the new crop to come in within the next few weeks and a prosperous business is anticipated for the ensuing season. The hurley crop is 20 per cent better this year than last, and while the crop of dark tobaccos is a trifle lighter this season, the quality of this year's crop is much better, and it is believed that the incoming crop will yield to the grower more money than the crop of last season. / / ^H J.Vetterlein & Co and Packers of DOMESTIC LEAF X 0 Ud V vU Importers of HAVANA and SUMATRA 115 Arch Street, Philadelphia.

NEWLY R.EBVILT CIGAR STORE. ONE OF THE BEST IN PENNSYLVANIA. T^O MORE noticeable progress has been made in any branch of retail trade in late years than is to be seen in tobacco and cigar stores. The average handsomely equipped establishment in which a man buys his tobacco to day as compared with the small shops of not many years ago is a striking commentary on the progress of the cigar and tobacco trade. The larger cities of Pennsylvania particular- ly are noticeable in this respect, and Reading, one of the most prominent, is not to be outdone by an> of her sister cities of a similar size and popula- tion, but rather prefers to lead. There is much in- dication that it has suc- ceeded, at least so far as the number of fine cigar stores is concerned. Recently a notable ad- dition was made to the list, in the form of a new- ly rebuilt store, which many have pronounced the ideal retail cigar store of the State. The estab- lishment is that of Chas. Breneiser&Sons, located at Seventh and Penn sts. The Breneiser store has for many years been a popular rendezvous for comfort-loving smokers of Reading, but it was not until a few weeks ago that the extensive altera tions, remodelling, and general overhauling of the premises was com- pleted, and the veritable palace for smokers thrown open to the pjblic. A history of the success of this firm forms a most interesting tale, and only limited space prevents the go- ing into fuller details. The business was established back in 1847 by Charles Breneiser, senior member of the present firm, who, a number of years later, ad- mitted two sons, Thomas and Charles, Jr., to an interest in the business. The present firm does an extensive wholesale and retail business, and occu- pies the whole of the four- story brick building, which has a frontage of fifteen feet on Penn street, Reading's principal thoroughfare, and a depth of 120 feet on Seventh street Of this the first floor is divided into three departments : First, and facing Penn street, is the retail de- partment, a reproduction of which is shown herewith, occupying 15x50 feet, adjoining which are the wholesale room and offices, extending back another 70 feet. The retail department must be seen to be fully appreciated. Around the two sides are show windows extending to the ceiling. The wall cases and other fix- tures are made of Mexican mahogany, and the show cases are of the crystal (all glass) type, mounted on marble bases. The floor is of mosaic tiling, and the ceiling is finished with beams and cross beams of mahogany, at the intersections of which is an electrolier with five incan- descent electric lights to each one. Sim- ilar lights are used in the bulk show manufactured at their own factory, and the "Greater Reading," made by VV. W. Prutzman at Reading. The best selling articles in chewing and smoking tobacco are the "Mint Drop," "Nickel," "Stand- ard Butts" and "Standard CUppings, " mostly of their own manufacture here. Leading brands of plug tobaccos are the "Maud S* "Town Talk," and "Battle Axe." In fine cut. "Tiger" and "Blot. ' and in cigarettes, Egyptian and domes- tic; in little cigars. "Recruits" and "Sub Rosa." "Hoflfman House." "Le Roy," "Royal Bengals." "Jules Verne." In the stogie and cheroot line. 'Saw Log." "Acme Seed," and "Old Virginia Che- roots" are the prmcipal sellers.

The amount of goods carried in both wholesale and retail departments, in- eludes high-grade imported and domes- tic products of popular brands, such as Bock & Co., El Eden, Manuel Garcia, etc, in imported, and in domestic clear Havana, E. Regenberg & Sons' "Amer- ica," and the Sieber Cigar Co.'s "Jules Verne." The firm's leading sellers in seed and Havana lo cent goods are Yocum Bros. "Y-B," Stewart. New- berger & Co., Ltd., "John Hay," and E. E. Kahler's "Wyomessing." In five cent goods the trade runs largely on the "Chief Joseph" and "Geo. Canning," smokers" articles is carried, the pipes being principally of the manufacture of Wm. Demuth & Co., and Kauffman Bros. & Co. , of New York, and Block & Shaw, of Philadelphia. A fine line of pouches and tobacco bags from the fac- tory of Fred S. Mills, of Gloversville, N. Y., is also carried in stock. FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS. A cigar dealer in a suburb of Philadel- phia has his window well filled with tobacco boxes in a manner that would seem to indicate a heavy stock. The boxes are of pasteboard of the kind in which the 2 oz. packages are packed and on one end is printed: "To be used for display when empty." The ambitious dealer has arranged the whole lot so that this line is the most prominent thing in sight. STORAGE VAULT FOR CIGARS. A PHILADELPHIA dealer recently "^ wrote an interesting description of a storage vault for the proper keeping.' of cigars which was in practical use in the store in question and which would un- doubtedly be of use to any dealer who desires to devote any attention to the care of his stock. The article said that the first thing to do was to fit up the special plice where the cigars are to be kept which may be the cellar or elsewhere. The dealer says: "We partitioned off" a space six feet long, five feet high and four wide, from a large room, and had it sheathed with half inch matched Southern pine, al- though any other wood might have been used equally well. Inside this space, from floor to ceiling on each side, were shelves for the cigars. These shelves were about a foot wide, thus leaving a space two feet wide in the center for a passage way. In one end was a door two feet wide, which closed tightly. Suspend- ed from the ceiling were perforated zinc tra) s, each lined with two thicknesses of blotting paper; the lat- ter was moistened with water, when the air in the room became too dry, and radiated the moisture through the air better by being suspended. "This room was lighted with an incandescent elec- tric light, and when the air became too moist we screwed into the light socket a small connecting wire which terminated in an electric heater or stove — an inexpensive aflfair, such as can be obtained from any dealer in elec- trical supplies. • 'Suspended at one end of the room was a hygro- meter, an ingenious little machine made by the Watertown Thermometer Co., which de- notes the humidity of the air, showing the degrees from 'very moist,' 'moist,' 'nor- mal,' 'dry,' and 'very dry.* With this as an indicator, and using the blotters as a moistener and the electric heater as a 'dryer out,' we are able to keep our cigars in exactly a normal atmosphere all the time. It requires practically no time to attend to the thing, and it is certainly well worth the small expense of fitting up a place to have cigars 'just right'." • • • If you' ve got a new brand of smoking tobacco to introduce, fasten a package of it on a card on which is printed neatly : Pot that in Your Pipe and Smokb It. Put the card in your window and it will serve as a good ad. . especially if the • package is attractive looking. THB TOBACCO WORLD IS THE ONE A HAPPY CLERK Protected by a National IT RECORDS 1 .

Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 3. Leo Abraham, one of the best known jobbers and retail dealers in this city has just returned from Cuba where he gave considerable attention t o the relative condition of the trust factories and those conducted by the independents. In a talk with The Tobacco World's cor- respondent, he said: "Ithas been proven within the last two years that it will always be impos- sible for any tobacco trust to gain entire control of the output of tobacco and ci- gars in Cuba. A large part of the people have literally grown up in the tobacco business, and will never allow the inde- pendent manufacturer to be put out of business by any combination of capital. Two years ago the trust bought out 85 per cent of the factories in Havana and as the manufacturers who owned them were given handsome prices for their plants they retired and are living on their money. •'Of course, they could not re-engage in the business directly, but you might as well ex- pect a duck to remain out of water as for most of those old Cubans and Spaniards to keep out of the tobacco business, so their sons and other relatives have taken up the industry with renewed vigor where their fathers have dropped it. They nec- essarily had to start new factories, but this was a small obstacle to them and they have grown so rapidly that, while two years ago, on account of the trust. they produced but 1 5 per cent of the cigars, today the government records show they make 48 per cent of the goods and the rate of increase continue?. "In place of unions the cigarmakers have societies with membership all the way from 18, 000 to 28,000. Thechildren are brought up to believe that they must join the societies and much good has re- sulted to the working class. The dues are $1. 30 in Spanish money and with the funds thus obtained reading rooms, card rooms, night schools, and other places of learning and amusement for the mem- bers have been established. In Havana the society is erecting a building that will cost 1500,000 and a strange part of it is that in this case the wealthy class has practically had to move for the working class. On the site where the building is going up was one of the oldest and most aristocratic Spanish clubs on the island, but the working people bought it up. "In the cigar factories the men are paid by the piece and a good man can make about $20 a week in American money it he will stick to his job, and those men down there do that." Anderson. —Underwood Bros. , of Beatrice, Neb. , who recently established a factory in that city employing none but union cigar- makers, have notified their employes that in the future they will run an open shop. Following this announcement all the men employed in the factory quit work but one. Underwood Bros, own a factory at Dixon, III., and it is under- stood that they propose to adopt the same method at that place. 9 g 8 BLACK THREADS Long Cut The Finest Heavy Pipe Smoking Tobacco manufactured.

New Bayers a^re on Hand, Sales were Well Distributed, and Prices Remained Firm. New Crop May be LaLte. But There Will be No Failure. [Special Correspondence of The Tobacco World.] Havana, October 31, 1904. A. Santaella, of Santaella & Co., and E. The movement in the Havana market during the week just passed shows quite a satisfactory result, as the sales were well distributed and new buyers from the United States have taken the places of those who departed for their homes. Prices are firm and the local dealers show less anxiety to let their holdings go, unless they can make the profit upon their investments to which they are en- titled. Besides the sales from first hands, some resales have taken place of old Remedies, which, however, are not in- cluded in the transactions reported later on. The Cuban Land and Leaf To- bacco Company has sold quite a quan- tity of first and second capaduras of Remedies 1900 and 1901 crops, while on the other hand it is reported that this same branch of the trust has op- erated extensively in buying Vuelta Abajo in the country, as well as in the local market. Vuelta Abajo is still commanding most attention, while the selection of Partido leaf is a rather more ditOcult task, as the stocks are less plentiful. Remedies tobacco has not commenced to sell in large quantities yet, and the call is still chiefly for the lower grades. That prime goods, first and second capaduras, are bound to bring hifih prices this year, owing to the small available quantity, seems to be the universal opinion. ran up to a total of 9S13 bales, or G9G5 of Vuelta Abajo, 1G(K) of I'artido and 1250 bales of Ueniedios.

As the weather has been excellent during the past week, conservative deal- ers here declare that while there may be a delay in transphmting and the crop may be later than usual, there is no fear of a failure, as not all of the seed- beds have been destroyed. The damage done by the excessive rains this month consisted only in the loss of the seed- lings ready for transplanting and the young plants just set otit. By the middle of November thore ought to be enough seedlings again fit for transplanting. The cost may be a trille higher and prevent the poorer class of farmers from being able to purchase them, but by waiting prices are bound to recede, as there is never an absolute scarcity of seedlings during the planting season.

Exports on the steam- ship Mexico on the 29th ult. were 4,- 362,994 cigars. Holiday orders for the United States, Germany and EngUind are being executed at a lively pace. H. Upmann & Co. shipped 850,000 ci- gars of their own make and other in- dependent brands. Behrens & Co. are very busy in their Sol factory executing orders for the United States and Europe. They have quite a call for large and costly sizes from $500 to 5^1500 per thousand, and it seems a curious fact that the big and expensive sizes go almost exclusively to Germany. Cifuentes. Fernandez & Co. were awarded the gold medal for their Flor de Tabacos de Partagas y Cia at the St. Louis Exposition, but as their cigars have already a world-wide fame, the extra gold medal, while gratefully ac- knowledged, is not necessary to help them in the increasing calls for their production. liabell, Costa, Vales y Cia. have all the orders on hand they can possibly at- tend to. J. Vales &, Co. also received a gold medal at St. Louis for their La Eminencia cigarettes, and theis may possibly help them to find a better mar- ket in the United States (even with the prohibitive duty on them), by supersed- ing the inferior Dgyptian cigarettes. J. F. Rocha & Co. gave an additional order for cutting boards, not cigar tables, as erroneously stated in my last letter. Nene and JefFerson are selling well in the United States.

If the last months do not pull up this year's business will be some- what less than last year. A number of other large manufactur- ers of the county had a like view of the matter, yet I found exceptional cases in which they were really unable to get goods out fast enough. J. F. Seachrist. of Holtz, was in Balti- more and Washington during last week calling on the jobbing trade. D. Frank Kaltreider, of Red Lion, contemplates the erection of a large, modern cigar factory next spring. The new factory building of the United Cigar Manufacturers' Company, at Dallastown, is completed, and a license has been granted to commence operations. W. H. Snyder & Co., of Windsor, are marketing and vigorously pushing two new brands under the name of "Pierce Butler" and "Louisa Adams." They are medium-priced goods, but are very at- tractively put up and made in popular shapes. F. M. Meads, of Windsor, who was sick for three weeks, is again able to be about, although still very weak. T, R. Decker, of York, has extended his factory facilities to accommodate 75 cigarmakers, together with the necessary number of tobacco strippers, etc. He now employes a force of about 40 people. C. G. Wills, the surviving member of the tirm of D. A. Schreiver iV: Co., on Kast Clark avenue, York, leaf dealers, has thoroughly remodeled his warehouse, and equipped a now office which is much more convenient and comfortable than the old one. J. H. Stiles has just returned from an inspection tour through Ohio, looking over the leaf markets. H. J. Blasser, with this house, will soon start on an- other Western trip, which will be the last for the year. We understand that this year's business has been the best he ever had. I'eter McGuigan. of Red Lion, is plac- ing on the market a new braud of tive- letit cigars called "Franz Deak," for which an attractive label has been got- ten up. A large show window of the retail store of George Haines, at 7 West Mar- ket street. York, is given up this week to an attractive display of Victor Tliorsch Co.'s "Baehelor." and J. B. Budtiing's "Patrick Henry" brands of five-cent cigars. The display is taste- ful!.'; arranged and luore than \isually at t' active.

In an interview published in a local contemporary, Simon Batt, President of the Clear Havana Cigar Manufacturers' Association of the United States, protests against misrepresentations which he says have been made by several publications, which have assumed that the clear Ha- vana manufacturers have been trying to secure an unjust advantage over the im- porters.

Willard '' rjT'" Manufac- turers of Michael Hose A. F. Hrillhart Dallaii Cip Co. Success in handling an Egyptian cig- arette business means a lot of hard work, a complete knowled^'e of this peculiar product and a thorough knowledge of the trade generally. Several concerns have met with much success lately in estab- lishing a business for this class of goods but of such institutions, Philadelphia has very few. One of the successful ones is the firm of S. Omicron & Co , 430 Walnut street. This business was established several >ears ago, but it was not until recently that the present firm came into control, Their principal business has heretofore been the manufacturing of a high grade product, under private brands, for clubs, large hotels, etc., and this venture proved so successful that the firm was induced to place upon the open market a brand of high grade strictj^- hand made goods under th^«fl8ffie 'and trade mark of Omioi^^." a view to exploiting the goods, the^ompanyis followinj,' up all places in h there is an apparent demand for a oice article of this class, and to aid dealers who sell the product they are making demonstrations of the methods of manufacture. Ihis plan has served to advertise the brand name effectively. Demonstrations have been made so far m Easton, Allentown, Bethlehem, Tren- ton, and a few other cities, and were everywhere productive of good results. The firm employs an expert tobacco blender, at a large salary, who has been employed in a similar capacity in facto- ries at Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt, where the cigarette industry is most im' portant, and from which places come the most skillful cigarette rollers. Having admirably solved one of t h e greatest difficulties usually encountered in under- tiking the establishment of a cigarette factory for the production of the higher grades of goods, and having already sue- cessfully placed the product on the market at a wide variety of places, there is reason to believe that the factory will continue its rapid rate of progress as a depot for the output of the best in the Egyptian cigar- ette line.

My mission here is to look anto the practicability of the plan, and I have written a large number of people in the surrounding country for such inform- ation as might be of benefit to us. We will probably visit several of the nearby counties, as the matter will be gone into on an extensive scale, it being our pur° pose to raise tobacco for foreign sh^D- ment. We will bring colonfes he?e made up of people who understand the raising of tobacco, having had a practical experience in its propagation."

The Tobacco World is in no sense a political organ, but it is not seemly to wit- ness the establishment of another mile- stone in the nation's career without some comment. This morning brings to busi- ness circles a decided feeling of relief, if not on account of the fact that Mr. Roosevelt has been given his full term, at any rate for the reason that election day wi'h all its uncertainties, however slight, is past. For some time there does not seem to have been any real doubt expressed by business men generally, as to which can- didate would win, but at the same time there was the slowing up of things which we spoke of two or three weeks ago. Purely aside from his opinion of the relative personalities or qualifications of the candidate for the chief ofifice, the av- erage business man hates the idea of a change. Unless trade is very much at sixes and sevens his motto is; " Let Well Enough Alone." It is this very senti- ment that in many instances has a con- siderable effect in defeating the party out of power, whichever it may be. As far as the tobacco trade is con- cerned, there has been for weeks a feel- ing of confidence that business would snap up after the 8th of November or thereabouts. Money commences to cir- culate more freely and everyone is pre- pared to start the ball rolling toward four years of prosperity. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt has gained his supreme wish, and his career during his reign — if his incumbency may be so termed — will be interestedly watched by all of civilization. Among the most in- terested of the spectators will be the American Tobacco Co., which, it is un- derstood, does not entertain a very cordial spirit toward the President. In fact it was £,tated on hearsay information in one or two daily papers that the to- bacco trust had refused to contribute to the Republican campaign fund in re- venge for the President's action in regard to the import stamp. In answer to this the President was stated to have inti- mated an intention of investigating the tobacco trust. All such rumors are quite unattached to anything substantial, but there would be more persons than the janitor on hand at such an investigation if it were con- ducted "for whom it may concern." "THE FIRE IS OUT." Mr. W. B. Hawkins, President of the Burley Tobacco (Growers' Company, has announced that he is about ready to give up the fight to unite the farmers against the trust. He begins his statement with this sentence: "The death knell of the Burley Tobacco Growers' Company is ringing." He then explains: "Ourcapitalists demand ashowing by the 5th of November. I with my associates have fought a good and untiring fight. We begged and we entreated the growers to avail them- selves of the opportunity to get better prices; we have told you what it takes to succeed. * 'We have been shunned like we were lepers. We advertised for speakings, and were met by small audiences; still we labored. Many were kind and lent us a helping hand, but the army of tobacco grow- ers have decided they will tamely submit. The trust agents know we have n o t got enough and have changed their song, ' Fifty million pounds more raised this year than last, and we have enough to do us a year.' They will let you down easy to about seven cents, and I for one will not be sorry. "You can sign the contract now or not, as you please. It may be time, but it must be quick. I will never again ask any man to sign it, and with m y fellow-workers have the satisfaction of knowing we all fall together. "A round up of the signed con- tracts will be had November 5, and if not enough are signed we will pub- lish to the world, 'The fire is out.'" President Hawkins is a trifle melodra- matic but he is obviously a bitterly dis- appointed man, in the position of the candidate who. fired by his own enthu- siasm, has to yell himself into a hoarse whisper before he discovers that no one is yelling with him, Mr. Hawkins has sadly earned the knowledge that a promise made is not a promise redeemed and he has learned just how far growers will go in combina- tion. There was as much chance, under existing circumstance?, o f the tobacco growers by united effort forcing the American Tobfcco Company to throw up the sponge, as five hundred house flies would have of consuming a horse while it was on its feet. The war between the cigarmakers un- ion and Mayor Schmitz is still seething in San Francisco and politeness is no longer a weapon. The union does not hesitate to brand the Mayor as a fabri- cator, which opinion the Mayor does his best to sidestep. The bone of contention is Commis- sioner of Police" Drinkhouse, who is charged with using his job to sell non- union cigars to saloon keepers, and from a series of fairly dignified reprisals, the argument has descended to a wrangle. Mayor Smitz asserted that he had re- ceived a telegram from Daniel Harris, a prominent union official, declaring the cigar in question, the "Manuel Lopez," to be on the union list; he later modified this statement, later changed it entirely, and still later exhibited such an aston- ishing progression of verbal vibrations, that the cigarmakers by the curt use of one word indicated that the Mayor pos- sessed a forked tongue. Such is the present status of the con- troversy. Between the hard names from the accusers and the "Now, gentlemen, "s from the Mayor, the battle is like to worry its-elf into a wordy grave. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦4^*******-^ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦' I Philadelphia Tobacco Trade.

One might think that nobody is smok- ing anythinjj but O^^t'''')' cigars now, owing to the tremendous run on that brand as a result of the United News Co. 's coupon and prize scheme. .A.s told in the last issue the brand is on sale with the majority of dealers and is advertised in a Sunday paper with a coupon attached which, with five cents entitles the con- sumer to two cigars The United News Co. put out 175.000 on the first four days of the sale and soon ran 50000 behind on orders so that all the Theobald & Oppenheimer factories which are making this brand are taxed to their uttermost. Manager Frank Toppan. of the United News Co. said that the rush had exceeded his expecta- tions and had tied him up for a short time but the company was now filling orders as fast as they come in. The cigars are put out only in boxesrf a hundred londres accompanied by the dealers' certificate which is good for re demption. Some of the dealers who had secured cigars on Saturday sold them all and sent in the certificate for redemption on Monday noon, all the sales having been made since the issuance of the Sun- day paper. Catlin Goes with Victor TKortcK Co. The announcement of the retirement from retail business of \Vm. Catlin, trad- ing as the Pennsylvania Cigar Stores Co. , at 144 North Eighth street, will come as a great surprise to the trade, mingled with regret, which is modified by knowl- edge that Mr. Catlin will simply enter another branch of the trade. His retirement will take place not later than January i.and Mr. Catlin' s action «ill no doubt cause regret to many man- ufacturers of whom he was a large buyer and likewise it will be a source of gratifi- cation to his many friends to learn, that he will again take up active work on the road. Mr. Catlin has engaged himself for a long period with the progressive cigar manufacturing firm of \'ictor Thorsch Company, of Allentown, for whom he will become a general salesman, with a territory anywhere and everywhere in the United States. Both parties are to be highly complimented in this union of energy and aggressiveness. Mr. Catlin's engagement will date from January i, 1905. He was for many years associated with the Monopol Tobacco Works, of New York, during which time he made for himself and his house a multitude of fist friends.

President of the Mueier & Son Co.. the leading cigar box manufacturers ..f this oit.v. has been cnnected with this industry for a quar- ter of a century. Recently when a^ked regarding labels for boxes, he said- , _ "I would advise a new firm starting I in the cigar making business to determ- I lue exactly what sizes and kinds of Clears it wants to make, and to make those kinds and nothini: eise until it get< well established. Many of the new con- -orns I have known, and some of which collapsed soon after entering the busi- ness, did not know what they wanted t,> do before starting in. -Instead of getting a leader and «i irk- ing to it. they thought they m„st put in all the sizes there were under a gre-it variety of h.bels and brands. This was a great mistake, in uiy opinion. '•Another thing was that some of the areen fellows selected the most atrociou. names one ever heard. What you want IS a nam*, that |.eople ,an pronn„,P,, lou don t want a name so crookc^l that a man is afraid to ask f„r the eit-ar lor ft-ar of niaking a break with the name \N hen a couple of men enter a sf.re thev will invariably :,sk for something that they can readily pronounce.

Lancjuster. Ta.. Nov. 7. A moderate business is reported in the local leaf market, but with old goods Dretty well cleaned up the volume of business is necessarily reduced. The 1903 crop, which has been passed by heretofore, is now in line, and packers have no cause for despair. There is need for every pound of merchantable to- bacco and it is only a matter of a little time until the 1903 goods will be looked at in a much more favorable light. Your correspondent is not in the habit of attempting to boom any particular crop, nor of playing favorites of any sort, but in this instance he may be per- mitted to say that it is reasonably cer- product tain that the possibiiitles of packers earning a profit on 1903 goods will be governed largely by the law of supply and demand. Buyers do not seem to be quite so strenuous in their effort to get new goods. They are growing more particu- lar and their search of goods is nearly as thorough as can be. From 10 to 12 cents is still being paid for some acceptable crops, although quite a few acres were bought during the week at 91 'c. The stamp sales for October show pretty satisfactory results, the outfit for the Ninth district being somewhat in excess of September, which is a rea- !*onably good indication in view of it being election year. I. H. Weaver has just returned from a week's visit to the leaf centres cf Ohio, He is much pleased with prospects as he found them, Truman D. Shertzer, leaf dealer on East Fulton street, has taken posses- sion of the new building at Red Lion, and has commenced the manufacture of scraps for cigar making purposes. .T. W. Breneman reached home last Thursday from two weeks through the West, were among other places he vis- ited the Fair at St, Louis. The total output of cigars in the Ninth district during the month of October made for itself the highest record for the present year, the figures being G9,- l»i:4.(XK). showing a gain of 1.739.140 over September, but a decrease of 771.- 0 * Ki- u J T> TTT" ^** occasioned by important business OR SALE— Bstabhshed Retail Cigar enfratr*.m*.nt« *.1«-«,K«,- lui urn- and Tobacco Business doing a large ^''^''SCTnents elsewhere, Mr. Williams trade; central location, retiring; investi- ^** therefore made toastmaster, and ex- gate.

The Deisel-Wemmer Co.. at Lima, are to-day operating one of the largest cigar factories in the State and are still in- creasing, by an additional building, of which mention was made in these col- umns a few weeks ago. The force of 700 hands, which is now employed, it is expected, will soon be increased to 1000, and the company's "San Felice," one of the market's most popular 5 cent cigar, sales of which have been made a record, will be given another impetus. possible. Mr. Williams remarked that one of the most popular men in this see- the firm had paid out to the women em- ployes, for labor i n their warehouse, I3.200, and was particularly compli- mentary to James Brunner, the foreman in charge of the packing department in the warehouse. Rev. S. W. Campbell, of Arcanum, was then introduced by Mr. Williams, and entertained the audience for a few minutes, after which the guests were ushered to another hall where a sumptuous supper was served, which had been specially prepared by Caterer Zim- merman. Before the guests assembled in the dining hall, however, there was a slight mterruption caused by foreman Brunner, who expressed a desire to make a few remarks and who on behalf of the employes presented Messrs. Dull & Williams with a fine leather trimmed ofHce chair for use in the warehouse office. Mr. Williams* countenance clearly be- trayed his surprise, and he was unable for a time to find words for the expression of his gratification. The complete sur- prise which was caused by the presentation and the sincerity of the "Thank you" by Mr.Williams.was all the employes desired. The banquet then proceeded and the re- mainder of the evening was spent in jollification. William Cline. The importance of Arcanum as a leaf packing center i n Ohio seems to be growing steadily and rapidly. The leaf tobacco packing firm of Wm. Cline is among those most worthy of mention. Mr. Cline is i courteous gentleman who has built up a very desirable patronage. He makes a specialty of table assorting all his packings, and caters only to the wholesale trade, a large portion of his business being among Pennsylvania houses. He is not only popular in the local trade but is widely known and thoroughly appreciated for his moral worth as one of Arcanum's staunchest TROY. The Allen & Wheeler Co.. of Troy, is among the most extensive leaf packers in the State, and has ample warehouse facilities. Mr. Henry M, Alien is the general manager of the company, de- voting practically his entire time to the leaf business. ROUND UP Of CROPS. and most influential citizens.) WEST MILTON. Z L. A. Pearion. At West Milton is one of this State's !i:ost active leaf houses. I refer to the concern conducted by L. A. Pcar.son. who is engaged in doing an extensive business in leaf tobjiccn. both as ji pack- er of the Ohio product and dealer in all kinds of not only domestic leaf, but Sumatra and Havana. He at present occupies a commodious building, but Iiis trade has so outgrown the present ware- house facilities that a new .-ind much larger building is now being erected. Manufacturers and others will be in- terested in reading Mr. Pearson's spe- cial announcement in the advertising col- umns of this issue. Mr. I'earson has been raised in the tobacco trade, one might say. having had thorough exper- ience in the entire process from growing the leaf in the field, to the manufacture of the finished product. By reason of his Ttersonal energy he has not only made many firm friends in the trade, but is Resume of Conditions in the Principal Southern Markets. liichmond, Va., Nov. 7. Reports from the leading tobacco mar- kets received by the Southern Tobaccon- ist and Modern Farmer generally show light receipts and higher prices. The dry weather has retarded farmers' de- livery until the last four days when the weather turned damp. At Kichmonil the receipts of new were somewhat larger than the previous week and prices aie lirm and generally higher. Peterslturg report increased receipts are both dark and bright with good sales on Saturday at higher prices. These bright crops were raised by planters in nearby counties, mostlv bv those who have lately moved froni North Carolina and settled upon the cheap lauds in this vicinity which are well suited to this (lass of tobacco. At Danville the weather has been favorable for handling tobacco and receipts have been larger in conse- • iu«nce. However, the offerings are a great •lisapDointment to those who want desirable wrappers, but the crop gen- erally IS very ripe and sweet. Medium to good types largely predominate, while ccnimon low grades are scarce. Prices are very high on all tobacco under 9 cents, and common is about as high as Ml the fall or ]!»02. The market is fuU of buyers and business is active.

We Will Save You Money. Leaf Tobacco Markets. CONNECTICUT VALLEY Not much riding by the buyers has been noticed in this locality the past week, and I have heard of few sales. There are only reiterated statements about the qual- ity of the tobacco that has been raised the past season, and the selling of some of the best tobacco farms in the valley to Polanders. Our correspondents write: Hinsdale, N. H.: "The following sales are reported: A. L. Taylor, — acres; W. N. Pike, 5 acres; William Wellinan, i}4 acres; George E. Shattuck, 4^ acres; A. B, Davis & Son, 5 acres; W. D. Stearns, 4 acres; M. Hanrahan, 3 acres; G. S. Smith, 5 acres, and J. B. Thomas. 5 acres. This was sold to Weaver of Suf- field, Ct, at from I2@i8>^c per pound. There are several other nice lots in town that are held for higher prices. There are about 100 cases of old tobacco in town. One lot was sold lately for i6c per pound. Some of the growers are through stripping, others partly through, and are looking for a damp time to clean up." Bradstreet, Mass.: "Belden & Sons have finished taking down their tobacco; also O, S. Graves and others one-half through. Another damp time will see the bulk of the 1904 crop in the bundle. No sales to report from this vicinity." Montague, Mass.: "The tobacco crop is proving very fine. A. M. Lyman has half of his crop stripped, and can show a nice crop right through. Donaldson & Bro. have a very nice crop. We are a little retired from the tobacco centers, but have some good goods to show." Hatfield, Mass.: "A large part of the tobacco crop is now stripped and a few crops have been delivered, which have weighed from 1700 to 1900 pounds per acre, showing a large and heavy crop, and an average of good tobacco. But few sales of late, as the growers ask an advanced price. On Monday next six of the assorting shops will open for the winter." Conway, Mass.: "1 have one crop of 'tobacco to report sold, that of Boyden Bros., about 10 acres, to Levi Pease of Hatfield at i8c in the bundle. We are having a dry time now that ought to bring the fat stems down so it would be ready for the next damp." East Hartford: "Sales range at about 29c in the bundle, or 37c assorted. Per- haps half of the crop in this vicinity has been sold, most of the growers in this section producing broad leaf." Suffield; "Sales of Havana leaf are re- ported ranging around 22c. The quality is good, although there is some complaint of pole burn on the lower tiers, and some lots show a darker color than desired. Sales aggregate about 100 acres so far." Poquonock: "Several sales are reported at 22025c. By this time nearly three- fourths of the crop has been sold." East Haddam : • 'Several sales of broad leaf are reported at about 20c in the bundle. The color and texture of the local crop are excellent and it seems to have been well cured. " — American Cul- tivator. EDGERTON, WIS. The buying of the new crop is almost entirely suspended at present and what- ever riding being done in the country is for old leaf remaining in growers' hands. Indian summer weather has left the hanging tobacco so dry as to preclude any examination and buyers have pulled out of the field to await casing weather, and so long as present weather condi- tions prevail there is Httle likelihood of much trading in the new crop. The inquiry after all grades of old stock continues and the movement is gradually reducing the amount in country hands with a prospect that the country will be relieved of most of the surplus. Prices, however, are so low that they furnish lit- tie or no encouragement to growers. The 200CS packing of Ed Simonson of '03 at Stoughton has been sold to Sam Grundy. The late harvested tobacco is especially favored in the curing by the long pleasant fall weather and is now about completely cured down. Shipments, 400 cases. •^Reporter. HOPKINSVILLE. KY. M. D.

PRIVATE BRANDS For the Wholesale and Jobbing Trade Our receipts this week were 50 hhds, offerings on the breaks 227 hhds, total sales 349 hhds. The general quality of the breaks was unchanged, the order very good, the crop sweated unusually well, in great contrast to the previous crop. The market was active and very strong, ic higher with advancing tendency. It is claimed that the Planters' Asso- ciation which seemed satisfied to secure signatures of 70 per cent of the planters to the "agreement" has now over 80 per cent, and the contest for high prices may be stubborn, which would delay the movement of the new crop. Our long drought was broken yester- day by gentle rain which still continues, and may last for several days longer and give a stripping "season."

NO MORE CITY TAX ON CIGARETTES. 1905 CENSUS OF NANUFACTUR.ERS. CHAIN STORE PEOPLE ENTER OHIO. Springfield. O., Judge Declares Tax of $120 is Illegal. Springfield, O., Nov. 11. A city ordinance of Springfield, impos- ing a tax of 5120 annually on the sale of cigarettes, is illegal according to a de- cision handed down by the Common Pleas Court of that city last week. The case was that of the city againstT. Troupe, who was arraigned in Police Court for failure to pay the license, and who im- mediately appealed the case to the Com- mon Pleas Court on error.

The United has had its eyes on Cleve- Manufacturers are requested to fill out land for some time and the substantial Judge Mower of that court held that ^ number of question blanks and return recent development of the city, as a retail Big Outlet for Poor Remnants of Wis- consin Crop. According to a report from Wisconsin, one of the surprising things of the to- bacco irade recently has been the magni- tude of the outlet for the cheaper grades of the 1 903 crop, whieh has led to a steady lifting of t h e remnants remaining in country usually active, furnishing a market for fillers and the damaged por- tion hands. The strippers have been unable to handle all of the crop, but aside from this there has been a good demand for the slightly better grades. Doubtless the most desirable portion of the crop has been sold, for recently contracts for the sale of several hundred acrCs of the ne\V have been transferred by the local dealer^ of the Slate co the larger manufactories. The buyers of these firms have been in the growing districts much of the time but have been willing to pay local dealers an advance upon contracts secured and seem to consider this way of securing tobacco better than to continue to hunt in the country. Just what margins these fortunate dealers have been able to obtain over the original price to be paid the grower is not made public, but it is believed to be close to an average profit made in carry- ing a packing through the sweat ; besides, it relieves the local packer of any of the chances usually assumed. TOBACCO CO'S BACK TAXES $65,000. the ordinance was void, first because the e is no specific power granted by the statutes to the council to pass such an ordinance and second because the license or tax imposed was unreasonable inas- much as it was eight times greater than the amount fixed by the legislature. Several minor reasons were also given. Judge Mower advised the City Solicitor to take the case to the Supreme Court to get a final decision, but it is doubtful if this will be done. The case has been closely watched by the cigarette dealers of Springfield with no little interest and the decision means that they will be re- quired to pay no more license to the city for the sale of cij,'arettes.

DeFOREST WAREHOUSE NEARING COMPLETION. The commodious new tobacco ware- house of J. T. DeForest, in process of building at Janesville. Wis. , will be com- pleted by December i. The building is two stories high and covers an area of 108 by 48 feet. Its exterior is of rock- faced sheet iron. The interior contains a sorting room for sixty hands, elevators. The store which has been taken by the United Co. is at 256 Superior street and has been remodelled and fixed up to conform with the uniform appearance of the United's stores in all the other cities. If the Cleveland trade proves suscepti- ble, the company will increase the num- ber of stores in the city and will prob- ably establish itself in other sections of the State. The United Cigar Stores Co. has entered some markets from which it has been able to secure only a very slight response, and the company has pro- ceeded rather more cautiously of late. - — The Lavaca County Tobacco Com- pany, of Texas, begins the manufacture and an equipment that is modern in every respect. The capacity is from of their 1904 crop this week. The to- 3,500 to 4,000 cases, and it will be a bacco has been well cured, and ought to large improvement o n the old Green manufacture well.

Louisville Asks For that Amount From Trust for Five Years* Taxes. Louisville, Ky.. Nov 10. This city is greatly concerned as to the outcome of the suit now pending in the Jefferson Circuit Court in which the Continental Tobacco Co. is being sued for five years unpaid taxes amounting to nearly $65,000, which is such a consid- erable item to the city that, according to an estimate, it would make a difference of five cents on the tax rate for one year. Among the companies merged in the American Tobacco Co., were the Finzer and another plant in this city, and pay- ment of the taxes i s resisted on the ground that after the purchase of the two subsidiary plants, the company was en- tilled to five year's exemption from taxes, as a new corporation. Henry L. Stone represents the city and Augustus E, Wilson and Charles H. Gibson the de- fendants. BLAND TOBACCO CO. PLANT CLOSED AND BUSINESS TRANSFERRED. Petersburg. V'a., Nov. 9. The Bland Tobacco Co.'s plant in this city, which was recently purchased by the American Tobacco Co., has been closed and the business transferred to other factories. R. P.

It occurred to me that the man who goes South, or West, or up in New England, or across to Canada for his firm, would be interested to hear about his brother of the sample cases in South Africa, or some other far off place. Some of these reports put me wise to a whole lot I didn't know before, and it seems to me if I were a young fellow with a good constitution, I wouldn't mind taking a hack at selling stogies to Umslopagaas y Ca., for awhile, just for the experience. I haven't space to use many of these reports, but I have copped out what I think is interesting. We'll start off with the State of Sonora, Mex., which may not be so far away as some other places, b u t which seems harder to get into. The United States Consul reports that they passed a law there last June pro- viding for the imposition of license fees on all traveling salesmen in that State, and says that the fee of from $21.90 to 165,70 per month is collected upon the arrival of a salesman in each city, and of course, is virtually prohibitive. The Consul says he is informed that the law was passed at the solicitation of the large mercantile houses of Her- mosillo and Guaymas, which complained that traveling salesmen after taking orders from wholesale merchants then went to their custo-iiers, the retailers, and sold them aUo. He says: "The law applies not only to foreign salesmen, but also to those from other States of Mexico, and it has created much dissatisfaction throughout the Republic. The chamber of com merce of the City of Mexico has applied to the Secretary of the Interior to have the law annulled, as it is claimed that it virtually revives the old 'alcabalas,' which are unconstitutional, but as yet no action has been taken by the Federal Government The continued enforce- ment of this law will have a very inju- rious effect upon American trade with Sonora.' " Just imagine coughing up $65.70 gate money every time you break into a new village. But this is not the only place. Sweden has had a law for several years under which traveling men or anyone soliciting orders have to pay a tax of $23.80 for every 30 days in Sweden. That's a game where you get the 30 days and the fine too. This hits the German drummers most, although some of the Swedish manufac- turers are very bitter because they think the tax is too small. The big fellows, though, among the (ierman manufac- turers, like the tax because it crowds out so many competitors. Commenting on the matter, t h e Affaers Vaerlden, a Swedish commercial paper, says very pertinently: "There is no good reason why foreign commercial travelers should pay a tax and native commercial travelers none. It IS justifiable only on protective tariff grounds. Looked at as protection, the manner of collecting is too superficial and the industries that are particularly dangerous to Sweden are hkely to get off cheap, while others to which Swedish manufactuiers are indifferent would be seriously affected, because the tax is the same on agents for all wares and is not regu ated by the amount of goods sold. The best reason for favoring a small tax is to be found in the fact that citzens of foreign countries would be excluded as much as possible from lines of trade that could be as successfully carried on by Swedes. It is to Sweden's interest to have the wages and t ixes paid on work done in Sweden remain in Sweden." Now, back t o Mexico, from which j Deputy Counsul - General Conley, of I Mexico City, has sent the following inter ' esiing and timely matter: "Sales of imported meichandise are made by salesmen, by mail, and by local representatives and branch houses. Prac- tically all the methods used by other foreign countries in celling their goods in i Mexico are employed by the United States. It may be well to repeat that American houses should be more careful about the employment of representatives. From every standpoint, the success of an exporting house in domg a profitable busmess in Mexico depends to a great exient upon its representative here. Fully as much depends upon the per- sonality of the salesman as upon the quality of the gOods he carries, in so far as making sales is concerned, and the profits from such sales depend to a large extent upon his shrewdness and judg. ment "A great many letters are received at this office from firms in the I'nited States who desire to introduce their goods into Mexico, asking for the names of persons who might act as their agents here. In many cases it is impossible to furnish names of the kind of persons desired. There are very few commission agents here and most of them are handling all the lines of goods they care to represent "If an American house desires to in- troduce its goods it is usually far better to send a man here to look over the ground, secure a local agent, and i nteresl him in the particular line of goods which the house wishes to introduce. If it be a new line j of goods, local dealers and agents are likely to look upon it in the same light as prospective cusutomers would; its ad- vantages must be explained to them per- sonally, and they must be interested in it, or they will never be able to sell it. Mexicans are still extremely conservative about adopting new ideas and inventions and correspondence, even in Spanish, reenforced by advertising matter in Span ish. is not usually very effective in iniro ducing such goods. If a house proposes to enter the Mexican field in competition with other houses which have businesses already established, it is necessary to 1 enthuse, by personal contact, the person or house chosen to act as local agent It is also necessary for the local representa- 1 tive to be in thorough accord with the home office and to understand its methods of doing business. ' 'Great care should always be used by Americans in extending credits, particu- larly on small orders from unknown cus- tomers. It may be taken for granted that the credit of large customers is thor- j oughly investigated before orders are' filled. In the case of sm dler firms plac- ing small orders, it appears to be the practice of American exporters, particu- larly those just entering the field for for- (Concluded on page 32,) I ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦I ♦ ♦♦ *'La Imperial Cigar Factory ** HOLTZ, PA. /.

HOW TO INCREASE SALES FOR A MONTH. TLJERE'S a scheme which may be a shining example of freak business but which is bound to bring in the shekels, provided the dealer who tries it isn't situated in a very much out of the way location. The plan is now being worked by a department store at Tenth and Market streets, Philadelphia, and of course amounts to a much larger propo- sition than would be the case when used by the average cigar dealer. The management of the store has selected two newspapers to pick out one day during the month of November which is unknown both to the store people and their customers, on which everyone who has made a purchase will be refunded their money at the end of the month when the selected day is an- nounced. The purchaser pays for his article when he buys it and on December I, when the announcement is made, gets his sales checks (for that one day) re- deemed. The announcement of the oflTer includes this sentence "If you strike the lucky day you can clothe all the family free," which will serve as irresistible bait for a good many hundred and probably thousands of consumers. As a reassuring measure, the managers of the store declare that there will be no increase in the prices on the stock and that everyone will get full value for his money. This scheme would doubtless prove a profitable one for any cigar dealer who is not too conservative to adopt this sort of methods and it is an absolute certainty that during the month the proposition was in force, sales would be largely in- creased and would naturally all be for cash. As a matter of fact there would prob- ably be a larger percentage of increase in trade than would be the case in a depart- ment store, owing to the fact that among the customers of a cigar dealer is a larger percentage of consumers willing to "take a chance." And beside that, the propor- tion of new purchasers who would be- come customers is also to be taken into consideration. Any dealer who makes up his mind to try it should put a big card announce- ment in his window and inside the store, whether he advertises in the papers or not The following would serve the purpose of attracting attention and may be used by any dealer: WE PAY YOU BACK EVERY CENT YOU SPEND HERE IF VOU SPEND IT ON THE KIOHT DAY. ALL THE CIGARS YOU CAN SMOKE ABSOLUTELY FREE Just so you get *em on the winning day. There are — days in this month. The and will pick out one of them. We don't know which one; neither do you. But everybody who bought anything that day will get their money back. The Judges will announce the mo- mentous day on the first of next • month. Bring in the checks you got with your purchases, as soon as you hear about it, and we'll give you all your money back. Do you feel lucky? THIS MAY BE" THE DAY. Stock up on smokes and if your hunch is right you" 11 have enough without costing you a cent to last until our next offer. This matter would have to be arranged on a fairly large card to get the proper display effect and to render the small type eisily readable. The body of the offer should be printed in plain letters for the same reason, and the card should be broad rather than long. PRETTY GIRLS VERSUS HIGH-PRICED CLERKS. "J BELIEVE," said an old time cigar dealer, "that a pretty girl will sell twice as many cigars in a day as the best posted cigar man in the buHness; if you put them both in the same store. I know a man who has two long cases, one on each side of the room. He has a high priced clerk to look after the trade on his side of the house, and a mighty pretty girl to attend to the wants on the other side. "Well, when it first started, it was a joke to watch the customers when they came in. Every last one of the younger fellows, mairied or single, walked over to the gills side to buy the smokes they wanted. Some of them pretty near tripped over their own feet, changing their course half way up the store when they caught sight of the girl. Some of them bought what they wanted in a sheepish sort of a way, and others would hand out the admiring eye and make a feeble crack of some kind. "And what was better for the dealer, a good proportion of the younger men would ask for higher grade cigars than they had intended to. They may have entered the store with the intention of buying a nickel smoke, or five cents worth of stogies, and when they left, they usually had a ten-center in their mouths. T^HERE is perhaps no w_w ^ • • 1 Hypnotizing the Jobber and Reta iler more prominently known representative of any factory having busi- ness in Philadelphia than F. B. Robertson, factory representative of the Man- Chester Cigar Manufac- turing Company, of Balti- more, manufacturers of the Match-It Cheroots. During the number of years of his efforts in this city he has made it a rule to get personally acquaint- ed with all active retailers and while the factory does its business strictly through the jobbing trade Mr. Robertson's wide personal acquaintance with retail dealers has been proven to be a de cided advantage to his factory. The accompanying il lustration shows Mr. Robertson in the act of showing the Match-It to a well known dealer in the central part of Phila- delphia.

LOOK SHARP. DEAR in mind that one of the most import- ant things about a cigar store is the way a clerk looks after a customer. A stranger in any city likes to have a pleasant word said to him, without being held up for a tip. Why can't the cigar store man make it a habit to be af- fable ? It won t hurt him to pass the weather views, or give a "Come back again," nor will it hurt him to lay any change down or hand it to the man. instead of rolling it on the counter and duck- ing away to chew the rag with a friendly loafer who hangs around the place day in and night out Somedealersneverrealize tlie fact that their busi- ness future is in their own hinds and if they don't make an effort to hold what business they have, they can't expect to re- tain what new business they may get. When you get any part of a good thing nowadays you've got to nurse it if you want it to stay with you. THK TOBACCO WORLD A.njr Guaranty Company Wo Because there is a checK upon all money she Handles.

Awards at World's Fair Still Held Up Pending Board of Arbitration. The altercation at the World' s Fair between the management of the Exposi- tion and the National Commission, de- tails of which were printed in a recent issue of The Tobacco World, is still un- settled and a call was issued last week for a meeting of the World's Fair Board of Arbitration. Meanwhile the 40,000 medals and prizes which the jury recom- mended for award to as many exhibits, are still held up and likely to remain so for some time. Among the 40,000 are a large number of cigar manufacturers. ^ For the benefit of those who have not kept track of the matter let it be stated that the dispute arose from the fact that the National Commission, which con- siders that it has a vested right to pass on all such matters, believed that the man- agement started to act, in announcing the awards, entirely outside of the Commis- sion, ignoring that body completely. The National Commission firmly main- tains that one of its functions is to con- firm or disapprove the decisions of the superior jury of awards. This is denied by the management and the meeting o the Board of Arbitration has been called. It is rumored that some scandals may grow out of the awards that have been made. The Arbitration Board includes former United StatesSenator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, and former Congressman John Allen, of Mississippi, as representa- tives of the National Commission, and Wilbur F. Bo>le and Charles W. Knapp, of St. Louis, as representatives of the World's Fair Company. In the event that it is impossible for these members to agree on a decision the Secretary of the Treasury is empowered to appoint a fifth member. SPECIAL HOLIDAY OFFEK. L. Miller & Sons, of New York, are making a special holiday combination offer, on which, according to their figures, the dealer can make nearly 100 per cent profit. The list comprises i pound \'ir- ginia Blossom in i oz. bags and a half dozen each of the following: Liaskovik, i/i oz. can; Society Mixture, 3', oz. glass; Perique, 1% oz. can: Shandigat (cut plug) 123 oz. can; La Reine, ly^ oz. foil; Bit and Spur, 2>^ oz. can; Namona Mixture, 2 t^ oz. can. One hundred Le Roy Breva cigars are given free with the lot and the price on the combination is ?6.o6. The regular retail price is 1 1 1.30. netting the dealer I5.24. LABEL DOES THE WOR.K. "The more attractive a label is, " said a large Grand ave., .Milwaukee, dealer, "the better a cigar will sell. I once had a cigar that was good stock, retailing for five cents, and had a cedar box with just the name printed, without a label, and it wouldn't sell worth a cent. I knew the cigar had merit, and went to one of the local cigar box factories and had them make me a club house sized box and get me a handsome label. I evened up by getting a somewhat cheapar box but a more expensive label, and I wish you could see the way those cigars took. 1 could hardly get them in fast enough.'

Yahn & McDonnell, the enterprising dealers at Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, have put in a line of high grade pipes in answer to a demand which has been growing for some time. The list of pipe dealers in Philadelphia is getting larger every week or so, Bradford Clark and I. Lowengrund being among the most re- cent dealers to add them to their stock. Every dealer has reported an increased demand for the article. Yahn & Mc- Donnell have put in a full variety of fine goods made especially for them, the cheapest pipe selling for $1. «^ Ci^ar Machines Would Be Welcomed Back. The fact that the city council of Port- land, Ore., has permitted cigar dealers, on payment of about $20 a year, to in- stall slot machines, such as pay in cigars, in their stores, recalls the thriving busi ness which resulted from the same sort of machines when they were permitted or at least tolerated in Philadelphia. It has been something like a year since the enormous bonfire of slot machines conducted by the local authorities on a vacant lot served as a farewell to practi- cally all the machines in the city. The majority of these were gambling ma- chines pure and simple in which money was the only commodity in sight but there were hundreds of cigar- paying ma- chines in the city a t the time, all of which had to come out. Immediately the cigar business in Philadelphia fell off to an unbelievable extent and it has not revived since. One manufacturer, speaking of the matter said: "It has certainly made a tremendous difference in our sales with some stores. I can think of several this minute that use scarcely one fifth the 10 cent cigars they used to. Philadelphia is admittedly a 5 cent cigar town, and when a man goes into a store and simply asks for a cigar, the clerk invariably puts out the 5 cent boxes. "Well, when the cigar machines were booming a good percentage of customers would play ihem. Some of them would keep it up until they had, say 12 or 14 cigars to their credit. Instead of taking the 14 five cent cigars they would take seven ten cent ones and it got to be a regular thing that could be counted on by the manufacturers in expecting orders. Men who ordinarily wouldn't think of buying a ten cent smoke got to smoking them altogether in this way. "But when the machines were ousted, these customers fell back into the 5 cent habit, and, moreover, moderated the amount of their smoking. Orders fell off immediately and they haven't come back yet There isn't any doubt that a great many dealers and manufacturers, too, wouhl be verv glad to welcome the old machines back." About the Piedmonts. The American Tobacco Co.'s new cig- arette. Piedmont, is on the counters of a large number of Pliiladelphia dealers but sales have not been very large yet, prob ably for two reasons: Customers have not learned o f t h e new cigarette and moreover it mav be handicapped by the absence of a coupon. The cigarette made a hit in some of the southern cities where it was said that a whole coupon was enclosed in every box, against the half coupon which goes with Sweet Caporals. It was understood that the same ar- rangement was to go in this market, but the cigarettes sent to some of the local dealers, at least, contained no coupons at all. This makes a decided difference to consumers as the coupons have market value of fifty cents a hundred. The new cigarette was boomed for this market on account of the fact that it was loosely rolled, there having been numerous com- plaints on account of the tightly rolled Sweet Caporal. 1. Lowengrund is pushing the Red and Blue, a 5 cent straight cigar, this week and so far sales have been fairly good. The brand, which has been on the market for 12 years, is a hand made Philadelphia product and used to sell for $6. The Moore stores are making a dis- play of Dutch smoking tobacco and Our Reputation 5 cent cigar, both of which brands are controlled by Mr. Moore. The smoking tobacco is put up in 313 ounce cans to sell at 35 cents, 3 for $1. Wm. Catlin has an attractive display of the Bachelor, 5 cent straight cigar, in one of the windows of his store at 144 North Eighth street, this week, and is having quite a drive on them. The cigar is manufactured by the Victor ThorschCo., of Allentown. I. Lowengrund, who a week or so ago put in a line of pipes, reports a good steady sale. This store is still having a big run on the Uuke of Kent cigar. C. Cooper, retailer at 1490 North Fifty- second street, is making a fine window display of Telonettes. With Manufacturers and Jobbers. William H. Banton, well known local jobber, was laid up again last week and has the sympathy of his many friends. Mr. Banton has suffered from poor health lately and was recently incapacitated for a time. Dempsey & Koch report business to be very much to the good and say they arc behind in their orders. This firm does a large business in the W'est on its 10 cent brands. Manager Frank Comber, of the El Draco Co., reports an improvement in the firm's business during the week, trade in the Southwest being especially good. Just as is the experience of other local manufacturers, Mr. Comber says that business right in Philadelphia, aside from holiday orders, is not up to the standard and lacks snap, although the company's 5 cent brand, Walnut 750, has had a nice little run. Philip Verplanck, the energetic junior member of the new firm of Menendez Bros. & Verplanck, of Tampa, was in Philadelphia for a few days this week looking after things for his firm. On December i Bege Bros., of Mana- yunk, will dissolve partnership and will conduct individual concerns under the separate names of John B. and Joseph F. Bege, the former continuing in busi ness in the same store now occupied by the firm. Charles Kors, of the Vicente Portu- ondo Co., is on a business trip through New England. S. W. Levine, the Western representative of the firm also started out this week. C. F. Vetterlein, of Vetterlein Bros., made a trip to Boston last week to take a look-in on the firm's rapidly increasing business in that section. Le Roy Valentine, of A. S.

ALL IN MILWAUKEE. Plenty of Business for Old Dealers a.nd ChcLin Stores Too. Milwaukee, Wis., Nciv. 14, VM4. In a recent issue of a New York to- bacco paper there was an article on cigar packages, and some of thr ideas set forth brought broad smiles to tlic faces of the local box makers. The paper made the statement that imitation cedar lumber is stained with oil of cedar to give it the odor and color of genuine cedar. Livery cigar b«».\ manufacturer knows liiat nothing of the kind is done. Oil of cedar is an ex|iensive article, and man- nfacturers of cigar boxes kneople em- ployed in placing goods on the market. 1 do not think the Trust is able to effect to any great extent the sale of inde- pendent gocjds. If a man works hard, and has a good quality of goods, he is bound to build up a large trade in spite of all competition. We do not fear, nor do we pay any attention, to the Tobacco Trust.'* The same may be applied to the large retail business in Milwaukee, as the United Stores, while umloubtedly doing a big business since putting in two stores here, have not driven anybody to cover. There is an increasing demand for ci- gars and tobacco right along, and there is room for as many stores in the city as are here. Kach one has its class of customers, from the swell CJrand avenue place to the little jerk-water shop, where a man stopping in to buy a nickle smoke is looked upon as a dude. These little shops are scattered around through the city and cut no figure in summing up the sales per day or week, as the owners ustially have some side lines from which to make n profit, and he is his own best customer in cigars and chewing tobacco. As for market c-onditlons, there has been no change the past week in leaf, and supplies are apparently adequate ——THB TOBACCO WORLD 27 r« C SHAWi i Manufacturer of FINE and MEDIUM CIGARS Dallastown, Penna, SPECIAL BRANDS: ,jijii«*TO8i9^ :< GEORGE F.

(Concluded from page 5.) eign business, to take chances. This is a mistake. Credit should never be ex- tended to Mexican houses befoie securing full information as to their standing. Frequently a small order may be placed by a large house, or what appears to be a large house, and the American exporter is inclined to look upon it as atrial order which he desires to rill without otfending the customer, in order to secure his future trade. If it is expected to secure a large trade from such a house it will pay the American exporter to secure a full com- mercial report before entering into busi ness relations. If a small order comes from a small dealer and is too small to justify the expense of securing a com- mercial report on the credit of the custo- mer, cash should be required with the order. Some business may be lost by this method, but the profits to American exporters will undoubtedly be larger in the end if they insist upon it. The col- lection of small accounts in Mexico is an exceedingly difficult matter, particularly upon the part of foreign creditors." We will now move on to Brazil where the American salesman seems to be con- siderably up against it. United States Consul Furniss, of Bahia, says that the business of t h e countries having the larger trade is conducted chiefly by trav , eling salesmen, the best salesmen being I German for the reason that they can always speak Portuguese or Spanish, and have studied the needs of the market. He says : "Unfortunately, the few American salesmen I have met are dia- metrically opposite to the Germans, and are handicapped from the start. They fail to study tariff and trade peculiarities, and have either to employ interpreters, or are forced to appoint as agent some English-speaking firm, usually without much push, to present the merits of their wares to the native merchants. Their employer does not seem to awake to the fact that it would be better to send a man to study the conditions before attempting sales, but, instead, he wants large orders from the first, and because he does not get them, either abandons the market or is constantly sending out new men, which is just as bad. Everything ?s bought on a credit basis. So seldom is cash paid that few can remember having he.ird of a cash transaction. " Away over in dear old Mozambique, Africa, the Americans have built up quite a trade since the Boer war, and representatives o f a good many large American firms visit the port to make arrangements with importers. Also many representatives of outside firms came in after the so called Delagoa Bay Railroad was built, but in many instances the business establishments were in charge of managers at tremendous sala- ries, who were supposed to do away with the necessity for traveling representatives. Twelve years ago there was no American trade in Mozambique. W. R. Bigham, American Consul- General at Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, says that in his territory all known facilities for sellinor goods are used, but the most common and sucessful is by means of traveling salesmen with sam- ples, most goods being sold o n time drafts. In Egypt traveling salesmen are em- ployed to someextent, but the bulk of the business is carried on by correspondence with resident representatives, who are frequently natives of the country. The agent often represents more than one firm. The general terms of credit are ninety days; sometimes six months. The Consul at Para, Brazil, declares that the limited extent of United States trade is chiefly due to absence of sales- men, or to the utter incompetency of those sent. At Rio de Janeiro, business is conducted principally by salesmen at seaport and principal cities, and by mail in the mterior. The faithful drummer also operates successfully i n British Guiana, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela. In Peru, business is furthered by skillful salesmen who speak Spanish and are experienced in the methods of Spanish-American commerce. United States Consul Gottschalk, of Callao, Peru, says: "The point is well worth noting that no other foreign country goes to such expense as the United States to mail luxuriously printed advertising matter to persons who do not understand the language in which it is written. This consulate has on numerous occasions in the past seven months corresponded with reputable firms in the United States who desired to enter into business relations with Peru on the strength merely of cat- alogues, handsome in themselves, but practically useless in a Spanish-speaking country." Business in the Chihuahua district, in Mexico, is chiefly conducted by traveling salesmen who make an average of four visits a year, terms spot cash with order, or sight draft with bill of lading attached. Practically the same condition is true in the Ensenada district, while in Mazatlan the drummers show up twice a year and do a very profitable business. That'll be about all. and if it's any consolation, just remember next time you get a hard turn down, that somebody is probably getting the same in Egypt or Peru, o r maybe down i n Ciudad Porfirio Uiaz even.

Put Under the Ban. In a short time it will be impossible to find an American or Havana cigarette in France as a result of the Government's edict that no more of such cigarettes are to be sold and no more imported from the I'nited States. The only ones in the country will be those brought in by trav- elers in opened or half filled boxes for personal consumption. The Havana varieties of cigarettes and the cheap American article were getting too popular to suit the French tobacco industry and the ordinary French cigar- ettes were losing purchasers by the thousands. Inasmuch as the trade is in the form of a State monopoly, the remedy was an easy one and it is said that the French market is now bare of Cuban or American cigarettes with the exception of a few thousand packages of the Vir- ginia article. TOBACCO ACREAGE AND QVALITY BOTH BETTER THIS YEAR. The preliminary returns which have been made to the chief of the bureau of statistics of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, on the tobacco crop of 1904 show that the average yield per acre is 819 pounds as compared with the final estimate of 786 pounds in 1903. 797.3 pounds in 1902, and a ten year average of i. 35 tons. The average as to quality is 89. 5 per cent as compared with 85.9 per cent one year ago. Leaf Tobacco Markets. After the fall work has been finished on the farms a large number of men will work in the assorting shops, and about the first of December we may expect to see a good many young men change places. " Bradstreet, Mass : "John Brennen, E. H. Field and Albert H. Marsh have their tobacco in the bundle ready for the sorting table. I report the sale of A. H. Marsh's crop of 5 acres in the bundle to John McHugh, Hatfield." East VVhately, Mass.: "I report the sale of John M. Crafts' crop of 1903 to- bacco, 21 cases, at aoout 13c."

(( (( CONNECTICUT VALLEY Although little or no buying is going on in the Connecticut Valley, from other points comes the news of active opera- tions in that line. Those who had early cut crops have stripped and sold their product; but the late lots are to some ex- tent still on the poles, and the farmers are every day growing a little restless in this period of waiting. They well know that when another damp time comes that will enable them to take down their tobacco, there will be a renewal of the buying activity, and as many have their regular help still with them they wish to get their stripping out of the way, and perhaps sell the crop and not have to dive quite so deep into their pockets to pay what is due for labor. Our correspondents write: Hatfield, Mass.: "Six of the assorting shops started November 7 with quite good gangs of sorters. Calls for good sorters are noticed among the advertising columns of local papers. At East Hart- ford sorters are wanted at $2 per day, and about the same price prevails all around. One young man who goes as inspector to Hinsdale Smith's, of Spring, field, was wanted to bring ten good sorters, but he was able to find only four. EDGERTON. WIS. The movement in the new crop is practically at a stand still, awaiting the coming of casing weather. Whatever riding is being done in the growing dis- tricts is for old goods for which there is still maintained considerable trading whenever they can be secured at prices that will permit of an export outlet or to supply the needs of the stogy manufac- turers. The figures are generally under 5 cents for the '03 ciop. Thos. Kleven marketed his ten acre crop of '02 at 6c. Business among the packers shows a fair trade but mainly in small lots. H. W. Child has purchased a 2oocs packing of '03 of Oscar Hanson of Cambridge. C. E. Sweeney reports the purchase of 200CS from country hands and the sale of a 150CS lot to an exporting firm. Growers are now nearly ready to give attention to the stripping when casing weather arrives, but no evidence of such conditions have prevailed for several weeks past.

Planters continue to sign the "agree- menf placing the disposal of their crops in the hands of the Growers' Associa- tion, and the executive seems to have control of the sale of the crop, for which high prices are expected. The indica- tions are that Great Britain will receive very moderate supplies next year, and those at high cost.

Independents Watching Vnited Stores Company For Next Move. Milwaukee, Wis.. Nov. i8. ^ The situation among the retail dealers here is a little uncertain, inasmuch as it is not entirely demonstrated yet whether the United Stores people are going to be successful enough to render them content with what comes their way, whether they will inaugurate one of their characteristic and devastating fights, or as a last and rather improbable alternative, whether they will decide that Milwaukee is not a lucrative field for their operations. The last named alternative is indeed improbable, inasmuch as the retail trade in Milwaukee is good and ought to re- main so. The United Stores Co. made its entrance rather quietly and it can scarcely be said that any war has resulted such as seems to be the case in Chicago. Neither has the United Company deemed it necessary, at least up to this point, to adopt the methods which some of the Chicago dealers claim have been put into force in that city. Milwaukee independents are eagerly watching the movements of the Chicago association in its efibrts to get an inde- pendent plant started, and they consider that the result of the conflict will establish a decisive precedent "I don't see how there's going to be any battle here," said a Grand avenue dealer yesterday. "If the United people started to run cut and slash stores next door to some of ours, the only way we could get back at them would be to do a little cutting and slashing ourselves. And you know how that's going to end up, for we haven't got any corporation or chain of factories back of us. ••What makes me mad, although I don't suppose you can blame him so much either, is the consumer. He is always ready to shoot his head off about trusts and their evils and hurrah for the brave independent, and the minute the trust store chops off a cent on a 2 ounce package, in goes the consumer to save that cent 1 tell you old General Public has got a 17 year old maiden beaten to death tor fickleness. " TOBACCO MERCHANT KILLS HIMSELF George Dumfrey, who recently retired from the tobacco business in New York city, committed suicide at his home in Montclair, N. J., by shooting himself. He was 63 years old. Mr. Dumfrey was fairly well known in the New York trade and his friends are at a loss lo account for his act. His wife died about two years ago, and it is thought that the con- siderable trouble the tobacco merchant had in the settlement of the estate, af- fected his mind. SEIZED TOBACCO SOLD. Col. J. H.

However, a corner in a certain class of tobacco can never be of any long duration, and if prices are driven too high the American manufacturers have learned how to protect themselves, as they had some experience during the famous Weyler edict, when the exporta- tion of certain grades of lobac-co had been prohibited. The Trust, with all its millions of capital, found the experiment a very costly one when in r.H>0 and IJH^tl it aKcuinulated some G<>.000 to TO.tKX) bales of tobacco, mostly Remedios. which for reasons best known to the buyers were not used by their Northern factories and have grailually been resold to the inde- pendent dealers and inanufa«turrrs until this month.

I'.verytime 1 look I out my ro )m window in the mornings I now, I lialf expect to see one of the fa- ' miliar stores opposite. "Lots ot people," continued the job- I ber, "think the fact th.it the company paid their dividend is pretty fair evidence I that the scheme is a success I do know that the man who is running it is a good I man and a hustler. Georj^e J. Whelan 1 started in a small way and he has only his own efforts to th ink for his present position as president of the United Stoies Co. I've watched him for a good while. "He wasn't much more than a kid when he rented the stand in the Hotel Yates, in Syracuse, and he was still not much more than a kid when it got to be one of the best stands around. He was mighty full cf ambitic n, that boy was, and he succeeded in building up a fine box trade in high grade imported goods. In a little while he openea a big retail store, afterward a jobbing house, and finally got a factory started. "He began to get hold of the best part I of New York State and I guess it was Mrs. Connor, or Mrs Anderson as she came to be called, although there was never any maniage, died a few years ago up in New Kn;^Iand. Her atiair with the millionaire tobacconist was quite romantic and aside from the moral issue involved, the two remained "faithful unt ) death." The woman had been an actress and she and her husband kept a New Y^ o r k theatrical agency until his death when she opened a small cigar stoie in Houston street near Broadway. At thia time her son James Stanley was not much more than a baby. John An- derson happened to stop in the store for some of his own tobacco one day and promptly fell in love with the handsome widow. Carr) ing things with a high hand, in lesbthan sixmonthsheshipped hisown wife south and brought the complaisant widow into his Fifth avenue mansion. Mrs. Anderson stayed away until she oied about five \cars later. Of course the Connor bov went with his mother until he was about seven years old, when Felix McCloskey, a bus- iness partner ol Anderson, took charge of the boy and had him educated, later sending him .tbroad to live, at Anderson's expense, where lie became a sculptor. Anderson never lost any of his passion for his left handed wife and although he about this time that the chain store idea ""^^^ considered a ceremony necessary, began to buzz in his head.

The mail order business is getting to be a considerable element in the cigar and tobacco trade, and one which sooner or later will have to be taken into serious consideration by the more conservative manufacturers and jobbers. The favorite hunting ground of the concerns is the monthly popular magazine, and each new issue is apt to exploit one or two new concerns. Since the ingenious catch phrase "Save the Middleman's Profit" was invented, it and its variations have been pushed before the eyes of tho reading public until some consumers must be gaining the impression that a jobber is nothing but a bandit in the disguise of civilized clothing. The mail order concerns are well represented in the advertising pages of the Christmas magazines most of which arc out, and an idea of the way this form of trading is on the boom, may be gotten from the fact that the United Cigar Stores Co which is one of the latest and biggest companies to enter this field, has two full pages in Everybody's Magazine, nearly one page of whici is occupied by cuts of the cigars pifered for sale. Quite a number of the mail order people have hit on the Argosy as a good advertising medium for their lines, and the United Co. has a page in this publi- cation. The Argosy is a story magazine of the "popular" order and makes no literary pretensions, and although it does not print as much advertising as the ma- jority of the other magazines, these ads will go straight to the sort of people wanted. IntheChristmasArgosy the La Reclama Cuban Factory, 1880 First avenue, N. Y., advertises its Resagos Havana Ci- gars, fifty of which, 5 inch size, they offer to send to the consumer express prepaid, on no preliminary conditions whatever for a trial. If the customer likes the smoke, he sends $2 for the 50. The ad. is accompanied by testimonials. John B. Rogers & Co. , of Binghamton, N. v., also appear in the advertisement columns, but they are among the old- timers. The F. R. Penn Tobacco Co., Reidsville, N. C. , is another advertiser for a quarter of a page, offering Gold Crumbs smoking tobacco, although this company is willing to do business through the regular dealer. Herbert D. Shivers, of Philadelphia, advertises his Panetelas for which he asks I5 a hundred, sending them on ten days trial. The United Cigar Stores Co. has an attractive ad. with cuts, in whrch they boomitheir boxes of samples and tell consumers to write for a "cigar book.'' Beside the United Go's two pages in Everybody's, Ali^Osman. 150 Fifth ave- nue, advertises 100 cigarettes for $2, with initials printed in any color, cork tip or plain, [ordinary or ladies' site. Raubit. schek Bros., of Pittsburg, advertise their Wabash Special. Pittsburg Stogies, box of 100 for $2. the La Reclama people have a page, and Shiver's ad. appears also.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 22 1904. Brought to court through the determi- nation of prominent W. C. T. U. work- ers to prevent the sale of cigarettes to minors, Thomas Simpson, proprietor of a cigar stoie at 4200 Hamilton avenue, and August Weisbrodt, who conducts a drug store at Chase and Hamilton ave nues, were each fined $2$ and costs in Police Court last Saturday, which were later remitted. ^ One of the members of the association found that her son, 13 years old, had been smoking cigarettes, and confiscated the remainder of a package she found in his pocket She had the boy go to Simp son' s and Weisbrodt's and bring more cigarettes while she and other W. C. T. U. workers stood on the outside and watched. Weisbrodt admitted he had sold to minors, but said they all declared the cigarettes were for older people. Simpson pleaded not guilty. It is said that the prosecutions constituted only the firing of first guns in a war against selling to minors to be waged by the local W. C. T. U. For the first time in a long period no public cigar leaf sales were held at the local warehouses last Saturday. Stocks are low and buyers are proceeding slowly. The local burley leaf market is in an unsatisfactory condition, Recording to the views of the trade. Offerings at the past two weeks sales ha*« been out of stocks purchased on speculation last sum- mer when a boom market was experiencd, and since held for advanced figures. It is a doubtful proposition if the holders have reahzed anything on their venture, when storage and insurance charges have been deducted, and in view of the exceedingly good quality of the 1904 crop, now about to come on the market, it is not likely that the old crop will record any further advances. The buyers of the tobacco combine in the Cincinnati market are taking things easy in pursuance of instructions from headquarters. Usually they take in the greater portion of offerings at the burley leaf sales but lately they have been in the market only for small lots of inferior types under 6;'2C. F. H. Berning & Son, cigar manufac- turersat 331 Main street, suffered $10,000 loss through fire and water damage last Sunday. A member of the firm stated that they were fully insured and business would suffer no interruptions. According to Sid. Patterson, manager of the Ironton Stogie Co., a new concern at Ironton, business with them is all that could be desired. Last week at Lima the police authori- ties ordered the removal of slot machines from all cigar and drug stores and sa- loons. A concerted movement on the part of the business people to have the machines reinstated is to be made. The cigar dealers say that they especially are hard hit by the police' s edict. Affairs at the new Apollo store, on Wal- nut near Fifth street, are in tip top shape, says Manager Fred Plohr. They have recently put in a line of pipes. The building inspector of Toledo has ordered the removal of a glass trans- p irency sign in front of a cigar store at 706 Jefferson avenue. This action was taken by the inspector because of pedes- trians. It is hinted that other signs of a sijnilar kind will shortly he ordered removed. John Henry Lamke, one of the best known manufacturers in the State, died of dropsy at his home in Hamilton, on November 15, aged 53 years. Mr. Lamke was born in Germany and had been in Hamilton for 23 years. For many years he was employed by the late Peter Metzler. After the death of Mr. Metzler Mr. Lamke started a cigar fac tory of his own. A widow and five daughters survive him. Joseph B. Stewart who has been con- nected with the tobacco epartment of Bissman & Co., of Mansfield, for a num- ber of years, has resigned to accept the position of manager in Ozier's cigar store in the same city. He has been suc- ceeded at Bissman' s by H arry Jordon, formerly in business on his own account at Attica. READING CIGAR TILADE GOOD. SevcrsLl ChsLngcs in the Location of Business Houses. Reading, Pa., Nor. 21. The cigar trade here is iu a prosperous coudition at present, and niauy of the factories are rushing goods out with all possible speed, J. h. &. M. F. Greene have vacated their old quarters at 538 Franklin street and have opened an office and sample room on North Fourth street. All goods have been stored iu warehouses outside, and I am informed that the stock will be sold out as rapidly as possible. Gumpert Bros, have leased the build- ing at 538 Franklin street, formerly oc- cupied by J. L. & M. F. Greene, and will use it as a storage warehouse and stripitiup depaitnivnt. Internal revenue officials have shown unusual activity iu this vicinity for seT- eral weeks past, and as a result about twenty-six manufacturers and dealers were called to the front, some having hii.l *i<'veral charges preferred against tluMu liy an inspector who was here for some days. Among the charges are such things as having in their possession rnipty ligar boxes with stamps uncan- celled, or having removed from factory to retail ilepartnient cigars not stamped aiiil cancfled. or charges of having re- tilled sample boxes, or of not haviug made daily entries in the revenue book, or of having removed from a manufactur- ing department to another room for pack- ing by taking same through a retail de- partment in which pool and billiard tables were also kept, etc. The trade has become thoroughly aroused to the situation, and is beginning to realize what a thorough shaking up there has been among them. There have been three separate charges made against one manufacturer, but it is believed that there is a pos- sibility of a compromise settlement. Tlie Kureka Sign Company, formerly located at 114 Penn street, has re- moved to Pittsburg, which was the orig- inal home of W. J. Bailey, the man- ager. Charles Ream has removed his cigar factory from Chestnut street to 411 Washington street. It is reported that the American Leaf Tobacco Company, at Fifth and Wash- ington streets, will close out its leaf to- bacco business, arul that a cigar factory will i»e opened on the premises. Daniel Smith, who has betMi with the company since it coninienced* business here sev- eral months ago. is to be the superin- tendent of the new cigar factory. At Moore's Smoke House, at Fifth and Penn streets, a special window dis- play was made last week on Otto Eiisen- lohr & Bro's. "Cinco" cigars. C. W.

During last week'the Penn Tobacco PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 23, 1904. WHERE ARE THE JOBBERS "AT"? The pithy little circulars which the Ameiican Tob.icco Co. has a habit of sending to the jobbers who distribute its goods, have been of a tenor lately which is nothing if not disconcerting. Life is getting entirely too strenuous for a good many of the jobbers, and lots of them are at present figuring on how they are expected to come out alive from this last reduction. Two per cent for cash doesn' t seem to cut much ice when delivery must be considered and it is certainly evident that no jobbing house can long afford to cut under this for any 5 per cent unless it has mighty good backing. Jobbers who claim to know, sniff at the idea of the trust backing a certain firm which has been doing this, and pre- dict either a crash or a speedy cessation of the methods. Unless three or four of the big jobbers get together and cut the market in order to corral it and drive all the small fish out, the general opinion is that there will be very little doing in the cutting line from now until the next en- tertaining circular from that kindly octo- pus, the American Tobacco Co. THE WORLD'S .FAIR. TANGLE. It is rather painful to have to print the news of the trouble over awards at the St. Louis Exposition in a continuous installment, but the news continues to develop and so must be published. Why on earth the National Commis- sioners and the Fair officials cannot come to some satisfactory understanding, if only to save their face, is not clear, but it is clear that the winning exhibitors are not at all infatuated with the way things have been run. A firm makes its exhibit, complies with all conditons and receives as good as an assurance that it has gotten a prize. Naturally it wants to reap the re- ward by an immediate publicity, and it will take considerably more than the "You mustnt's" of the Fair officials to deter them. As a matter of fact, the majority of the exhibitors made imme- diate announcement of their good for- tune as soon as they learned of it, and were inclined to give the reproving offi- cials the laugh. Indeed this seems to constitute a way in which the affair might be considered as settled. Let the exhibicors advertise their awards per the original announce- ment and then let the post mortem scrap- ping go on as long as is desired by the contestants. The Exposition Committee of the Re- tail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers* Associa- tion of Philadelphia have practically all their plans perfected for the Exposition during the week of December 12, the tickets for the affair have been di^^tributed among the dealers and almost the next step is the arrangement of Horticultural Hall, which will present quite as attrac- tive an appearance as has been the case with exhibitions of other nature, and by excellent music will be made doubly entertaining to the casual consumer. To Mr. R. \V. Bock and his assistants on the Committee much credit is due, for these gentlemen have worked hard against considerable odds. Now that their reward is in sight they can breathe easier, but it will be some weeks yet be fore they will be able to heave the final sigh, and wash up and put on their coats. tukn; abovt is fair play. Apropos of the methods of some of the mail order concerns which on account of the keen competition, are eager to stimulate trade in all sorts of ways, a British paper'prints the following amus- ing story: "A German physician not long ago received through the mail a box containing 150 cigars with a bill for about $3.75. The enterprising trades- man who forwarded the goods sent an ex- planatory letter to the following effect: ' 'Although you have not ordered these cigars, I take the liberty of sending them, feeling sure that you will find them excel- lent.' '"Thejdoctor^ tried the cigars, and, find- ing them to his taste, smoked them with a contented conscience. When be had finished the box he sent the tobacconist five prescriptions at 75 cents each, with the foUowingl letter: 'Although you have not asked for professional advice, I take the liberty of sending you these prescrip- tions, feeling sure you will find them ex- cellent.' "What the worthy tradesman said is not stated, but probably the recording angel had some heavy entries to make on the debit side of his account." vise that the offer contained in our circular dated November 12. 1904, of an allowance of 3 per cent, from the face of invoice on our shipments to \ou of plug cuts, long cuts, fine cuts, little cigars and cigarettes n^an- ufactured by the company is heieby canceled and withdrawn, effective at the close of business November 19, 1904. All orders subject to accept- ance by our New York office. No repiesentative or employe of this company hasany authoiity to change any circular, letter or price list issued by this company. As stated last week, the announcement effective November 12, which removed the 3 per cent, clause on a restriction basis and offered it on the face of the in Co. offered a discount on practically all brands and inasmuch as the company would make no explanatory statement as to h( w it was able to do it or whether it would continue indefinitely in face of the last cut, other jobbers are taking it out in thinking. The Continental Tobacco Co. closed its headquarters at 14 South Third stieet on Saturday! and - moved its entire office equipment to Jersey City, although this is rot consideied paiticularly significant as a number of branch offices in other cities have been called in since the merger.

" TOBACCO REVENUE FOR! OCTOBER. Returns A^ain Show a Falling Off in Output of Ci^ft.rB. Cigarettes and Snuff but a Slight Increase in Chewing and Smoking Tobacco. The Internal Revenue returns for the month of October, which have just been officially announced, show a decrease in the output of cigars as compared with the same month of 1903, as well as in comparison with the preceding month of the present )ear. The same is true of cigarettes and snuff, and in manufactured tobacco alone is there a fair increase shown.

THE TOBACCO WORLD 23 •^itklfe^ Suctioiv Machine r LIBERMAN'S Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers. Palm Rolling Essential to Hand-Work. THIS IS THE SIMPLEST AND MOST PRACTICAL TOOL yet introduced in connection with Cigar- making. The 'cutting rollers are so equipped with ball bearings and exterior springs that they only produce enough pressure to cut the leaf, thu:i maintaining a sharp edge on the die and assuring a perfect, clean cut, superior to handwork. The circumference of the cutting roller being greater than the length of the die, makes tearing or streaking of the wrapper impossible Then, after the leaf has been cut, a slight depression with the right foot pedal will lower the die even with the table, thus making a perfectly smooth and rigid surface, enabling the operator to Roll with the Full Palm of the Hand, instead of pushing the cigar along with the finger tips. Changing of the die to any ahape, or from right to left, or the reverse, is a very simple matter on this table, and can be done within two minutes time. These points of merit, coupled with others not mentioned, have won for this table the high standard of excellence maintained to-day, a fact that cannot conscientiously be claimed by any of our competitors.

LIBERMAN DIES SUDDENLY- Isadore Liberman, head ot the Liber- man Manufacturing Co., 24042 North Third street, died suddenly at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning, at the Presbyterian Hospital where he had undergone an operation on Sunday. The death was extremely sudden as Mr. Liberman had been considered to be doing well. The operation was the result of a frac- ture of the leg which occurred on board the Zeeland, in February, when Mr. Liberman was on his way to Europe. The accident detained the manufacturer in an Antwerp hospital for four months and even then the bones did not set well and gave Mr. Liberman so much trouble that an operation was considered ad- visable. This was performed on Sunday, and the patient rallied so well that it was thought he would make a speedy re- covery. Just before 5 o'clock yesterday morning he sank suddenly and passed away. Isadore Liberman was born in Russia 37 years ago and came to this country when he was fifteen years old. He learned his trade as a cigarmaker, com- ing to Philadelphia 1 7 years ago. He invented the Liberman cig^r machine and founded the Liberman Manufactur- ing Co., of which his brother Bernard is a member. He was well known in the Philadelphia trade and the news of his sudden death came as a great shock. He is survived by a wife and two children. The funeral services will take place at 10 o'clock on Friday morning, the Rev. Dr. Krauskopf officiating, at the late residence, 2207 North Eighteenth street, Interment will be made in Adath Jeshuron Cemetery. With Manufacturers and Jobbers. Chas. Kors, of the Vicente Portuondo Co. is back from his New England trip and says that while business is slowing up a little now, evejything looks good for after the first of the year. F. N.

Kolb, manager for the Theobold & Oppenheimer Co., is back from a brief visit to Cuba, where he went to look things over and buy for the firm. <•% Bayuk Bros, are making preparations to move their plant to their new quarters which will be accomplished next month, so that the company will be comforta- bly installed by the first of the year. The new address has been selected but can- not yet be given. Business with this firm is very good, trade in the West be- ing particularly satisfactory. The announcements of the El Draco Cigar Manufacturing Company which are appearing in these columns, are at- tracting considerable notice, particularly in view of the fact that the cigars have met with a hearty welcome in the local market which is conceded to be among the most critical, and that if any brands meet with favor in Philadelphia they will 28 THE TOBACCO WORLD GEORGE W.

Telephone Fraudulent Orders to Tobacco and Cigar Jobbers. New York, Nov. 22, 1904. Quite a number of jobbers have re ceived orders for cigars and tobacco during the last fewda\s which on investi- gation proved to be fraudulent. The swindlers give the names of Park & Tilford, Acker, Merrall & Condit Co., etc., and order one thousand or two thousand boxes of a particular brand of cigars or cigarettes, with the added in- formation that the ordering firm will send a messenger or one of its wagons and take the goods. A number of distributors have accepted these fake orders and in some cases there has been no knowledge that the order was a fraud until the bill was returned ask- ing for an explanation. In other instances the first knowledge that the order is not genuine is the discovery of goods selling under price. Investigation discloses the fact that the goods were obtained from a stranger at a low figure, and a comparison of dates shows that a telephone order and the sale at reduced prices are coincident One jobber was victimized twice in the same day. <^^ia^^a% CIGAR INDIAN PIONEER.

Lynch, Best Known Character in Milwaukee Trade. Milwaukee, Nov. 19. James J. Lynch, who bought the first cigar store Indian in Milwaukee, died last week, and the most unique character in the cigar and tobacco industry in the city, is gone. His place on East Water street was the forum where many distin- guished men gathered to discuss topical questions, and every night in the year, from 1875 until a few days before his death, Mr. Lynch was on hand to take part in the conversation. Among the well known men who were habitues of the place were Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway System, who was a Mil- waukeean; Joseph G. Donnelly, former consul-general to Mexico; Fire Chief Foley, one of the world's greatest fire fighters, who was killed in Milwaukee a year ago; Gov. Peck; ExGov. Scofield; Patrick Donnelly, one of the State's fore most noted scientist, who never smoked in his life, but who was the leader in the discussions, and a dozen men of local reputation. Ex-Consul General Donnelly, speaking of Mr. Lynch, said : "He was beloved and respected by every one. He was absolutely honest. He had rare wit and though it ran rather to irony, it was not the malicious kind.

The independent dealers in Wilming- ton are forming a local Association and it is expected that the or^janization will soon be an active one of a hundred or more members A meeting was held at Windish's. Fourth and P«)plar streets, on Thursday evening by the promoters of the association and ways and means to form a rousing branch were discussed. Another meeting was fixed for a few days later. ' One of the most prominent of the organizers is L. A. Hillersohn. of Second and Market streets, who is well known in the trade. Mr. Hillersohn thinks that the prospects for a successful nssoci- ation are very good. The concensus of opinion among the dealers is in favor of the movement, and as soon as the holiday rush of trade is a little out of the way, a formal organization will be eflTected.

Conditions in the local tobacco mark^s remain about the same as for several weeks past Pleasant Indian Summer weather continues long beyond the usual season. No rains have come so far to bring casing weather and the new crop remains too dry in the curing sheds to permit of any examination by buyers or preparation for market The old leaf in country hands is being steadily sought after and the movement is fast absorbing the remnants that can b e bought at prices that will permit of an export or stogie manufacturing outlet. W. T. Pomery & Co., E. C. Hopkins and Chas. Sweeney have been liberal pur- chasers of this class of goods of late.

[ The outlook for the remainder hanging on the poles is that it may require to be steamed down, as was the fact last year. Sunday morning it began to rain and ^ snow, finally settling down and giving us I about two or three inches of snow. In j the afternoon it rained some and in the ! evening it rained quite hard, but the weather was too cold to dampen the to- bacco. I have heard of only one min j even opening his shed, and that was only I for a short time Sunday morning. The t news from all the tobacco raising districts is about the same. The buying of the 1904 crop is at a standstill on account of cool weather. Our correspondents write: Conway, Mass.: "Nothing new to re- port, have not had a damp7spell for three weeks, so there is not much tobacco off the poles yet. and it begins to look as I though we would have cold fingers to strip with." Suffield. Ct : • Tobacco r.iisers are well pleased with the quality of their tob.icco. also with the prices dem.inded and paid; 20c, 21C and 22c were the prices received for three crops sold.

There was n o improvement in the offerings. The market was active and verj' strong with advancing tendency. The unsold stocks are now reduced to about 400 hhds. It is apparent that the gap w ill be wide between present prices for the 1903 un- sold stocks and the prices which are ex- pected to rule for the 1904 crop. The weather continues dry, preventing exam- ination of the crops in the barns. The loose tobacco market will open late, and the movement of the new crop will be slow.

Milwaukee, Wis.. Nov. 25. Things still look very far from being a war in this city between the independent dealers and the United Cigar Stores Co., and as stated last week, unless the latter makes some funny move, there will be nothing doing in the battle line. What- ever war there may be in mind among the Chicagoans they should not thus early, include the dealers of this city, for if any word has been sent to Chicago that local dealers will join a movement to stamp out the large retail stores run by the so-called trust, it was sent by some irresponsible dealer. A score o f the leading retailers deny all knowledge of any proposed war. A large Wisconsin dealer had the following to say: "You can say in The Tobacco World, that no such action is contemplated, and I can speak for the other large retailers that any fight on the so-called trust would do more injury than good. As a matter of fict, the appearance here of the two stores has not affected our busi- ness in the least. I would certainly have heard of any action contemplated by the local dealers." Despite this statement, the retail stores recently opened by the trust are putting moie clerks to work, which is the best indication of a growing business. The cut glass and silver tipped pipe racket catches many customers in addition to the coupons. One dealer, who has made a profitable business in selling cigars and tobacco in the past twenty years, si/.ed up the situa- tion in tliis fashion: "The only persons to benefit by a war of prices would be the consumer, and he hopes for it." When asked what they would do if the independent dealers took the initiative in a war, the United Stores people said: "We will simply continue to sell our goods at the same prices. So far we have heard of no war. Some of the dealers, we understand, have reduced prices somewhat, and are running special bargains. That will injure n o one. Our stores are doing a larger business right along. We are employing more help. There is room for all, and if prices are made and held, there should no cut- ting of throats. We are satisfied with our prospects. " Anderson. %%^^%%%% MUCH LEAF TOBACCO FOR JAPAN'S MONOPOLY. The Japanese government which re- cently bought out the American Tobacco Co., and assumed a munopoly of the manufacture of tobacco, is not letting any grass grow under its feet as will be wit- nessed by the shipment from Portland, Ore., in a week or so, of 800 hogsheads of leaf tobacco, weighing 3,200 tons and valued at ^60,000, which will go on an Asiatic liner, and i s undoubtedly the property of the Japanese government. The tobacco fills 80 cars. Other Cigar Manufacturers R.eceive World's Fair Medals. Some additional St. Louis Fair awards have just been announced for cigar man- ufacturers, from Pennsylvania, who had joined in the collective exhibit of cigars from this State, these additional ones making in all 61 awards to Pennsylvania manufacturers. The additional awards, it is said, were nsade after a careful and critical exami- nation of the samples exhibited, by the Group Jury, an Intermediate Jury, and a Superior Jury. The finer grades of cigars were awarded medals on their quality, and the other grades won recognition for workmanship, considering their cheap- ness. The final awards of medals were as follows : Gold Medal. Winget Manufacturing Co. , which con- ducted the Pennsylvania Cigar .Manufac- turers' Exhibit; for the finest collective displ.iy of goods.

The following shows that things are getting down to cases in regard to the Railway News Stand Tobacco Trade Being Weeded Out. Cigar stands have been getting the bad end of it in more places than one lately on account of tendencies to pro- hibit smoking in public stations and waiting rooms. Everybody knows of the strong kick which is being made in New York against the installment of stands in the stations o/the subway and about two weeks ago the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co.. getting tired of complaints from women patrons, issued an order prohibiting the sale of cigars, cigarettes and other forms of smoking to- bacco at the station news stands which are under the control of the company. The order comes from President Mellen who takes the ground that the company cannot expect men to refrain from smok- ing when tobacco is placed before them. There was also the objection that at some of the stations the cigars sold were very poor. That the order has not brought the necessary relief is shown by the re.

If yoii have fine goods to offer — and you cards printed by hand either by experts or by amateurs, and does not care to buy a block printing outfit, a good and inex- pensive way of getting the material for the signs is for him to go to some printer and have him print the alphabet and the ten figures in two or three suitable sizes of t>pe. The cost of this would be very small. The next investment should be in some black and red colored paper, or in fact any hue desired. There is danger of getting the signs too prismatic, how- ever, and unless the dealer is sure of himself he would better stick to simple black and red. Now. all that is necessary is to trace the letters which he got from the printer on the colored paper, as he needs them to frame a sentence, and then lo cut them out When they are pasted neatly on whitecards the effect will besuprisingly striking, especially if the dealer exercises a little discretion in the arrangement on the card and the use of colors. Just to top the article off, a few sug- gestions are offered for cards, which may ^* to come blocks to trade with you rather than go to another store. In order to do this, you cannot afford to be loaded down entirely with the advertised brands. You must have room in your cases for the labels you yourself desire to push. Remember that the advertised cigars can be had in any store as a rule and are of the same quality as the brands you sell, and that your only advantage on these goods is in knowing how to keep them in better condition than the other fellow. If your customers know you as the purveyor of a certain cigar they like they will come to you for it, and it should be your en- deavor to get as much of that kind of trade as possible. 5. Make yourself acquainted with the salesmen who come into your store. Find out from them how the big cigar dealers keep their cigars fresh in flavor, and copy their example wherever you can Next to finding an original way of doing a thing well is to find out how some SANTA CLAUS HAS ALWAYS SMOKED PIPES LIKE THt:.SE be adapted by dealers to their needs.

There has been some call for old to- bacco in Vuelta Aba jo and Remedios, but the stocks are now so insignificant, consisting only of leavings, that such poods may be sjiid to have disappeared from the Havana market. As far as Vuelta Abajo is concerntnl there are enouph vejjas to be had yet. but prices for good clean leaf are very firm, and holders show no disposition to part with it excepting at their asking figures. Poorer grades are fairly well supplied, and buyers can acquire them at thtir bids in most instances. I'artido tobacco is getting scarcer and the finest vegas are gone, although there are some filler lots to be had yet at moderate prices. As far as Remedio.s is eoncermd. it is estimated that not over lO.CMK) bales of first and second cap.iduras remain un- sold in first hands, and thev are held very stiffly. Sellers show no anxiety to part with them, as the country is swept bare of stocks and the tendency is still upwards. Salea were 10.1(10 bales, divided into 5821 of Vtielta Abajo. 7JH) of Tartido and 3o5S of Itomedios.

The Independent Tobacco Miinufac- turers* Promoting Co. which was recently formed by a rally of Chicago independent jobbers and dealers, announces that it will not manufacture cigars, but will de- vote all its eflforts to producing smoking and plug tobacco, to be put before the consumer at an easy price. As is generally known, this company is the result of the fight in Chicago against the United Cigar Stores Co. , the independent dealers having come to the conclusion that the only way to make any sort of a resistance is to adopt the same weapons. It was at first supposed by many that the prospective independent plant was to put out a complete line of goods, but it was decided that it would be a mistake to try to aflfcct the ci^ar market in this way, the several reasons for which will be immediately apparent to every dealer. The United Stores Co. does a large business in smoking and plug tobaccos, and it is safe to say that in the majority of cities the most substantial part of their trade comes from that class of consumers. The Chicago merchants expect to get the trade in this way: They assert that the regulation two-ounce packageswhich sold for five cents, have been reduced in weight to one and two-thirds ounces, which, in the aggiegate, makes a tre- mendous difference in profits: it is also said th It the size of plug tobacco h^s been reduced, and when the Independent Tobacco Manufacturer s' Promoting Co. places its goods on the counters in the old sizes and prices, and at the s.ime time guarantees quality, the consumer is expected to fall at onre. The outcome evidently depends on how long the independents can hold their nerve and make iheir money la^t. If they look for a "vacant" sign on the doors of the United Cigar Stores at the end of the first week, they will doubtless receive a mighty surprise. Hut if they are pre- pared and loaded to plug away indefi- nitely, they have got a pretty good chance, as no corporation, however big, is fond of playing a losing game. %%%'%%«<«/% THE LAW IN MASSACHUSETTS AGAINST CONDITION SALES. Massachui^etis .is a State, is probibly not making much of a hit with the Amcr- ican Tobacco Co. at present, owing to the uncomfortable laws, which it is being demonstrated, were made lor use as well as ornament. There is a case at the head of the Superior Criminal Court docket of Taun- ton now, in which two representatives of this company are the defendants on a charge of having violated the state law entitled "a law for the protection of traders." which was passed by the Le^is- lature of 1901, and inasmuch as it is fair to presume that these men — who have been the accredited representatives of the American Tobacco Co. for some years — were obeying instructions, the real de- fendent is resultantly the employing company. That portion of the law under which the defendants are being prosecuted is as follows: Any person, firm, corporation or association of persons doing busi- ness in this commonwealth shall not make it a condition of the sale of goods, wares or merchandise that the purchaser shall not sell or deal in the goods, wares or merchandise of any other person, firm, corpora- tion or association of persons, but the provisions of this section shall not prohibit the apnointment of agents or sole agents for the sale of nor the making of contracts for the exclusive sale of goods, wares or merchandise. The jobbers of Massachusetts in their relations with the American Tobacco Co. have been in the same position as those in other States, and like those, they have been very restless under the yoke. Al- though this I iw has been a law for three years, the discovery that it could be en forced does not seem to have been made until recently. It goes without saying thataconvif tion will cause more or less change in the situation, and already, jobbers in other States are ca-ting about them to see what can be done in the same direction. We publish in other columns an ex- tended article consisiing of portions of the annual report of Secretary of Agri culture J imes WiKon, whicli is being is- sued today. The matter comprises de- tailed accounts of th work of the Bureau of Soils m testing v irious sections of the country for the cultivation of tobacco, and will b e interesting n o t only to growers, but to every man in the trade. The report contains a surprising amount of information as to what has actually been accomplished in opening up new territory for tobacco farmers and permits of a prophecy as to the early and rapid development which we may expect to witne.s in the industry. The grower is of course vitally concerned, the man ufacturer naturally, and, last but not least, the jobber and retailer, who can view the operations Qi the Government's experts, with a reasonable hope that they will ultimately provide more satisfactory prices. JANES B. DUKE TAKES A WIFE. Head of American Tobacco Co. Weds Mrs. Lillian N. McCredy. Outside of the immediate circle of friends of James B. Duke, presidei t and principal of the American Tobacco Co., much surprise was occasioned in the trade b\ theannoimcementof the tobacco magnate's marriage in Camden, N. J., on Tuesday, to Mis. Lillian N McCredy, of 1 1 West Sixty eighth street. New York City. Mrs. McCredy is a widow, said to be wealthy in her own right, and a cousin of James J Seal, president of the Philadelphia Consolidated Stork Ex change, at whose hou«e in Cooper street, Camden, the wedding ceremony took place. Mr. Duke and his bride elect c.tme over from New York Monday night and went to separate hotels, Mr. Duke to the Walton and his fiance to the Bellevue* Stratford. About 2 o'clock they took separate carriages and were driven across the ferry direct t o Mr. Seals' home. Rev. Marshall Owens, pastor of the Cen- tenary M. E. Church, knew when to reach the house and a half an hour later the pair were made man and wife, with Mr. Duke's brother, Mrs. Seal, her son, and Mrs. McCredy' s maid as the sole witnesses. There was a luncheon, and the wedding party returned to the Read- ing Terminal, to go to New York. They will take steamer today for a tour of Europe. Mr. Duke is 48 years of age and his bride is about ten years his junior. The foundation of his great f riune was laid in Durham, N. C, where a business founded by his f tther grew to immense proportions, finally becoming the nucleus of the Americin Fob icco Company. He and his brotht-r. B. B. Duke, are the largest stockholders of the great corpora- tion. Mr. Duke, so far as known, has never shown the least inclination to change his single life. Since going to New York he h IS lived at the Hoffman House when business required him to remain in the citv over niglit, and his courtship has been >o quiet th it not even his close business associates kne« of hisintentions. Mr. Duke has a m ignificent country place at Somerville, N. J., on which he h 'S spent an enormous sum of money and it is p obable that the couple will make this their home much of the time. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦^♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦t ♦♦♦ ♦»♦' ♦ ^ : Philadelphia Tobacco Trade, j ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ 44^ Has American Tobacco Co.

The Philadelphia headquarters of the Florodora Tag Co., on Arch street belov Highth has presented an exterior appear- ance for a week which sujjgested a run on a bank. The Company's original an- nouncement that all coupons, etc., must be redeemed before November 30, to- day, or would be worthless, brought a tremendous swiirm of people around the pi cc, to control the eagerness of which required the services of the police. The Company extended the original date a year, but news of the extension did not get around as quickly as that of the forfeit date, and the multitude of those holding coupons and tags continued to enlarge. The Company put out a sign notifying the crowd of the change of date, but the majority of those who had brought cou- pons to be redeemed, carried out their intention which was probably quite sat- isfactory to the Company as it is anx- iuus to clear up as much old business as possible. The LibermaLP Funeral. The funeral services of Isadore Liber man. head of the I.iberm »n Manufac turiiig Co., of North Third street, who died in the Presbyterian Hospital a week ago, were held on Friday morning at 10 o'clock at the late residence, 2207 North Eighteenth street A lar^e number of the dead man's friends were present and heard an impressive discourse by the Rev. Dr. KrauskopI, who officiated. Burial took place i n Adath Jeshuran cemetery. Announcement has been made that the Liberman business will be continued under the same firm name, Bernard Liberman being an import mt member of the company. With NeLf\ufeLC(urers and Jobbers. Mr. Narrigan's Silver Anniversary. A very pleasant reception was held a few evenings ago at the residence of Harvey U. Narrigan, 1638 Marshall street, in celebration of Mr. Narrigan 's twenty fifth weddinj; anniversary, at which several members of the trade were on hand to conjjratwlate the popular jobber. Nearly one hundred guests were present who entered heirtily into the festivities of the evening, and the host and hostess were the recipients of num- erous valuable gifts. Among those present were Z. J. Norris and family, C. Bro*n and family, Charles Miller, A. Bowen and F. B. Robertson, the latter of whom entertained the com- pany with a recitation. Genial John Brown had been si heduled to rel.ite the experi- ence of his twenty eight yens of married life but was unfortimately compelled to excuse himself owini; to a slight attack of bronchitis, but Charles Miller, well known in the trade had a bu^y nij;hi of it watch- ing Robby with his camera. A. J. Bridy, of McSherrystown, Pa., was in Philadelphia this week and secured H, U. Nariigan & Co. as distributing agents for his popular Robert E. Pattison cigar. George Bremer, of Bremer Bros. & Boehm, who has charge of the affairs of Dominguez Bros., which firm recently went into bankruptcy, has sold the stock on hand in the factory and is offering the plant for sale. The Keystone Tobacco Co. , of North Ninth street, is making a very attractive display of the Red Devil chewing and smoking tobacco, of which Arthur Hagan & Co. are the eastern agents. The store window is arranged with considerable taste. Vetterlein Bros advertised all the week for more cigarmakers in order to fill the rush ot orders that have come in lately. Evidently this must be the case with other factories also, as cigarmakers seem to be very scarce. John N. Kolb. manager for the Theo bald & Oppenheimer Co., spends most of his time up the State now, looking after the factories that are turning out the Quatility ci>'ars. All the factories are rushed to c:rpatity to keep up with the run on the cigar. The Vicente Portuondo Co. received a number of lar^e orders this week and enough bu-iness is already on hand to keep the factories up to their full capacity. The Krull cigar made by Chas. A. Krull at 1924 Oxiord street, and first put on the market a lew months ago has grown in sales at a wonderfully rapid rate, particularly in the northwest and northeast sections of the city. The pro- duct is being exploited in various ways. Mr. Krulls strong faith in advertising, value has materially aided him in accom- plishing his undertakings quickly and in the successful launching of his leader in nickel goods. There is not a more popular purveyor of high grade Havana goods in the city than M. Hernandez, whose well known products are now being given merited publicity in these columns. The manu- facture of cigars ranging in price from >5o to $250 is rather unusual for Phila- delphia, but Mr. Hernandez is offering an exceptionally fine product. Aside from his own brands, which include the El Fennix, a 5 cent article and thellesworth, a clear Havana product, a goodly portion of his business is the manufacture of private brands for various large distribu- tors, which class of trade he has success- fully catered to for many years. Leaif De&lers* Jottings. George F. Schnath.of Schroeder & Ar- guimbau, New York leaf dealers, is in Philadelphia this week looking out for his house.

Duys & Co., Sumatra importers of New Yoik, with whom he has been connected for several ye .rs p ist. Frank Dominguez Back. Frank Dominguez, of E. A. Calves & Co., has returned from Cuba where he spent about a month buying for the house. Mr. Dominguez says that the crop condition was not particularly satis- factory to Ameiican bu\ers as while he saw some very fine tobacco, much of the market was poor, despite which fact very high prices ruled. The buyers were thinning out when he left. Mr. Dominguez said that there is a strong movement i n progress o n the Island to induce the Government to effect a treaty with Spain reducing the tariff on tobacco, and it is probable that some tormal action will soon be taken. In re- garc to the export stamp President Palma was asked to provide, Mr. Do-ninguez said that the most of the agitation was conducted by the newspa- pers and that Cuban manufacturers are not nearly so excited over the matter as might be supposed from reading the reports. •a The leaf firm of Bremer Bros. & Boehm, on North Third street, announce a change in the firm name to take effect tomorrow, December i, on and after which the house will do business under the name of Bremer Bros. L. P. Kimmig, of L. P. Kimmig & Co. , who is on a business trip through the middle West, reports a number of big orders in Milwaukee, Chicago and St. Louis, and says that trade conditions are perfectly satisfactory. The majority of Mr, Kimmigs sales are in 1903 Penn- sylvania. The Amsterdam Sumatra Co. have been having a fair run of business lately and report the market as improving with them. This house does considerable business in Sumatra. C. Robinson, one of the firm's outside men is in the city for a few days, but will shortly leave on another trip. George Newman, of Young & New- man, made another of several trips up the State last week and reported business as fair in the sections he visited. Here and There With the Retailers Lowengrund Buys Bankrupt Dominguez Stock. I. Lowengrund has purchased the out- put of the factory of Dominguez Bros, which firm went into bankruptcy two or three months ago, and will at once put the cigars on the market, selling them at half the retail price. Mr. Lowengrund' s purchase comprises about 490. 000 cigars, consisting of a long list of brands. The 5 cent product will be sold at|2.5o and the 10 cent clear Havana at I5. These include Dominguez Londres, Dominguez Panetelas, La Petits and Chico Brevas. in the former price, and Havana Express Co., Lady Helen, Lady Lennox and D'Oro Perfecto, in the clear Havana goods. Mr. Lowengrund received the cigars on Monday and will put them on sale tomorrow. YaKn ^ McDonnell's New Brand. Yahn & Mc Donnell, Fifteenth and Chestnut street jobbers and dealers, put a new brand on the market last week which was made e«pecially for them. The cigar is put up in a beautiful pack- age and is moving out well at $6 or four for a quarter. Fun Tavern is the name of the label, which consists of a picture of the quaint old tavern situated on Delaware avenue a century ago. which was the first meeting place of the Masonic Lodgesof Philadelphia. The label, which is embossed in colors, is made from a rare picture, the original building having been torn down many years ago.

GOVHRNMBNT REPORTS ON ITS BXPHRIMMNTS IN TOBACCO GROWING DURING THE YEAR, Extracts from the Report of the Secretary of Agriculture which will be Issued This Week Make Interesting Reading and Demonstrate that Investigations Have Resulted in Valuable Discoveries. ftoods Sold Direct to JOBBERS and DEALERS. Washington, D, C, Nov. 29. The annual report of Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson, which will be made public to-morrow, will contain highly interesting and valuable information concerning the investigations and experiments, which the Bureau of Soils of the Department has been conducting in various parts of the United States during the past year, in order properly to guage the soil resources of the country as regards the production of tobacco. After a paragraph concerning disease in tobacco, the report tikes up ihe main subject, as follows: Diseases of Tobacco. "The most serious di^e.ise of tobacco in the United States during the past sea- son has been the new malady called 'wilt.' This has been very destructive in certain portions of the South, and so rapid has been the spread of the trouble that it threatens the complete destruction of the large tobacco industry in North Carolina. Evidence is at hand that this disease is very similar to other wilt troubles, and that it may eventually sue cumb to treatment through the selection and development o f resistent types. Work with a view of securing these types is now being conducted. Tobacco Investigations. "In the line of tobacco investigations carried on by the Bureau of Soils the most important work during the past fiscal year has been the experimental growing of Cuban seed tobacco on certain soils in Texas, Alabama, and South Carolina. This work was begun in J^jly, 1903, in cooperation with leading farmers in the several States. Thirteen acres were planted in Texas, three in Alabama, and three in South Carolina. The success of this first trial led to further plantings by the Department in 1904, when trial tracts were established at Nacogdoches, Crock- ett, and Giddings, in Texas, where a total of 12 acres was planted. One tract in Perry County, Ala., and one in Orange County, S. C, were established, each with three acres in tobacco. "Samples of the tobacco grown in 1903 were submitted to the trade, and the opinion is that the Texas leaf has consid- erable merit, both in regard to flavor and aroma, and some have pronounced it to be superior to any filler yet grown in this country. The Alabama filler leaf is con- sidered fair, but not equal to the Texas leaf, while the filler giown in South Car- olina does not meet with as much favor as that grown in the two States already mentioned. "The commercial value placed upon this leaf by different tobacco brokers varies considerably, ranging from 18 to 40 cents a pound. "Some bales of Texas leaf have been disposed of at the higher figure. Final judgment of the success of this venture must be postponed until further advices are received from the dealers and manu- facturers to whom working samples have been submitted. Growing and Curing Tobaccos in Ohio. "Experiments in growing the Cuban type of filler have also been carried on on a 10 acre tract in Ohio. Owing to the heavy nature of the leaf it is impossible to judge of its aroma at present. The tobacco of this type raised in the pre- ceding year is only just ready for the manufacturer. The aroma has been pro- nounced good, but it is believed tliac the leaf is too heavy for the taste of the gen- eral public; and the aim this year is to produce a somewhat lighter leaf. The results of these experiments in growing Cuban filler leaf seem to warrant a contin- uation of the experiments in the Southern States and possibly in Ohio for the suc- ceeding year upon somewhat broader lines, and it is hoped that through the efforts of the Bureau of Soils an extension of the domestic filler leaf interests may be accomplished. "By far the most important work in Ohio, however, has been the further in- troduction of the bulk method of fer- menting cigar tobaccos. This work was begun in 1902. when 655.200 pounds were fermented. In 1903, 4.204,800 pounds were fermented, and in 1904 the quantity was increased to 10,208,000 pounds, dis- tributed among the several types of to- bacco as follows: Z i m m e r Spanish, 5,850,009 pounds; Little Dutch, 582.000 pounds, and seed leaf, 3.776,000 pounds. As the work of the Department there is simply supervisory, and entails the co- operation of the warehousmen, this great increase evidences the remarkable in- terest that this change in the methods of handling tobacco has to the grower and the tobacco dealer. Its use not only avoids great loss formerly suffered from fungous growth in the case-fermented to- bacco, but also tends to improve the grades of tobacco and therefore increase the profits both to the grower and the handler. Wrapper Leaf in Connecticut. "The experiments in the production of a wrapper leaf in the Connecticut Valley have been continued during the last year. In the beginning of these experiments, work was undertaken in cooperation with the Connecticut experiment station at Poquonock, on one third of an acre of land. The tobacco grown on this small plot was submitted to leading leaf dealers and brokers in New York for their opinion. On their judgment, which was very favorable, the Department felt ju».

In 1901, therefore, 40 acres were planted, this time in cooperation with leading to- bacco growers in the valley. This tobac- co was of satisfactory quality and was sold at Hartford, and although it had been grown under very unsatisfactory climatic conditions a very good price was obtained at the sale. In 1902 a larger acreage was planted by the Connecticut farmers, and leaf dealers of New York — men who had spent their lives in the tobacco trade and who were everywhere recognized as -ood judgesof tobacco— invested money in the production of shade-^rown tobacco, not upon the reports of the lUireiu of Soils, but on their own judgment of the satisfactory character of the leaf "Owing to unfavorable climatic and adverse trade condiiiors. which were en tirely beyond the control of the grower, the tobacco produced during the season failed, to a certain extent, to meet the demands of the manufacturers. The cli- matic conditions in 1903 were very sim- ilar to those of 1902 — that is, they were unfavorable to the production of a wrap, per le.if of the very best grade, but there was not so large a demand for this to- bacco as was expected. In 1903 the Bureau had practically ceased its work in Connecticut, but in 1804. still having confidence in the opinion of the trade, and believing that the method of growmg tobacco for wrappers under shade is cor- rect, it has conducted an experiment at TarifTville, Conn., where a crop has been produced on a 4-acre plat. Owing to the recent tendency on the part of the trade to wrap the better grades of cigars with the Cuban rather than with the Sumatra style of leaf, i acre of this plat was planted to Cuban seed tobacco. "Tobacco of this type grown under shade in Connecticut was exhibited by the Department at the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition at St. Louis, and to it was awarded the grand prize as being a leaf of the highest standard of excellence for cigar wrappers. "In connection with this matter of the producing o f shade-grown wrapper in Connecticut, the Bureau of Soils has been making an investigation as to the de- mands of the market for the Cuban type of leaf and as to the practicability of building up a demand for Connecticut shade-grown tobacco of this type. Re- cent sales of this tobacco have been made, principally in New York and Phil- adelphia, and the following table shows the distribution of neatly 300 bales of such tobacco and the average price per pound of the lots as sold : Prices Keceived for Connectfcuf Sliade- Grown Tobacco.

The 144 bales sold for export, at an average price of So. 34 4 10. consisted of tobacco of a quality not suited to the home market, principally of sand leaves and short-sized, flimsy tobacco. Nearly all of this tobacco was shipped to the Geiman market. The 104 bales, sold at an average price of 50.09 7.10, consisted of short top leaves, the tobacco having no wrapper quality, and being useful only as an inferior filler. "The tobacco experts 01 the Bureau of Soils see no reason to change their belief that the method of growmg tobacco un- der shade in the Connecticut Yallev will produce a wrapper leaf of great excellence, which can be economically used by the trade, and it would seem that the indus- try should be established upon a com- mercial scale. Improvirxg Export Tobaccos. "Up to the beginning of last year the tobacco work of the Bureau of Soils has been along the lines of improving the methods of culture and handling of the cigar tobaccos, but this year considerable demand has been made upon the Bureau to assist the growers of the heavv export types of tobacco. The low percentage o tobacco suitable for plug wrappers, and the poor price obtained by the majority of growers, have led the Bureau to make mvestigations into the production of this type of tobacco, the object being to see if both the yield per acre and the percent- age of the higher grades could be in- creased. A 5. acre experimental plot in Appomattox County. Va., was selected for studying the problem. In this section the finest plug wrappers are grown, and the work would also be carried on close to the Richmond and Lynchburg markets. It IS the plan of these experiments to grow the tobacco with different fertilizers and under different methods of culture to see which will give the best financial results to the grower. It is the intention of the Bureau to extend this work in the future t o other districts producing the shipping types of tobacco. It is yet too early to give the results of the present season s work."

I went into a Philadelphia cigar store on Chestnut street, one day this week, and had quite a listen with the manager. The place is one of the biggest on the street, and the manager is a wise guy in his business generation, or lie wouldn't be manager, and, incidentally, a member of the company. I realize thac he ad- mires me greatly, and as I leaned grace- fully on the showcase^and allowed him to talk to me, I felt a comfortable glow of satisfaction which^always comes fpom a charitable action. When I went into the store, my man was tinkering around a packing^box, and in answer to my expression of hi^h bred surprise, explained that h e was only keeping himself busy. "Haven't got a thing else to] do," said he. "and I can't stand for being idle. "I tell you it's fierce, all right I" he went on, "and the worst'of it is I haven't got a great deal of hope. l:don't know what the deuce has got intoithe'people, but there's nothing doing. Just look here!'* The manager went over to a table and lifted up a double handful of nickels and silver done up in paper rolls. "That's what we get these days," he said. "Cheap stuff like that. " I nodded with complete sympathy, for it pains me greatly to look at anything less than a two-dollar bill. "That's the best sort ot|a thermom- eter," declared Jthe manager. "When the cash register has a good assortment of bills of large ^denomination then we can bank on the fact that times are easy and money is loose. When lots of sil- ver come in there's a slump." "Naturally." said I, with an air of naive innocence, "when youlhave lots of money you feel as if everything was all right. " "You don't catch my idea." was the answer. ' 'Suppose during a prosperous period, a certain day's sales amounted to so much; suppose during a slump like this they happened to amount to the same figuie on a certain day?, Well, in the first case, the money would be in bills, and in the second in silver." "What the hen-coop is the matter with the people?" I asked. "I go along the street and every son-of-a-gun's face is fixed around a smoke. They can't smoke more'n one of anything at a time? How do you account for it? ' The manager looked at me for a moment as if sizing me up. "I'll tell you some- thing," he said finally, "but you wont believe it, or at least you won' t consider it a good explanation." "Go as far as you like, old sport," said I. "Far be it from me to flaunt " "Well, in the first place, consumers are cheapening their smoking. A man makes up his mind that he has to save something on his personal expenses, and his smoking is about the first thing to go. He either cuts it down or cuts it out It doesn't occur to him or he isn't willing to skip a drink here and .here. But he buys fewer cigars, or ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦♦ ♦ 4 commences to smoke a pipe. Now for what you won't believe plausible. Con- siderable of this falhng ofT is a result of the falling off in club buying. Lots of i swell clubs in this town are buying de cidedly small quantities of cij^ars at this time, for the simple reason that their law of supply is the law of demand "A member of a certain prominent up town club told me recently that he had been away for two months, and on re- urning. found that in his absence not a single box of cigars had been bought by the steward or whoever did the buying. "Why? Well, Til tell you. They usually have pretty steady games of poker at this club and there's mostly a pretty popular sit in. When money is easy, a man will play along the whole evening or night aided by a continuous series of lighted cigars — fifteen centers, or some- thing like that. Come a bum hand, a failure to better or to fill, and the man grabs the cigar out of his mouth and slams it on the floor. Sometimes it's just been lighted. Fine for the dealer! "One minute passes, he gets a fresh cigar, and if his bad luck continues, bless it, the performance is repeated. Now | little things like that mount up and i make a very considerable difference in our sales. For with money tight, the man tightens up. * There are fewer games and tighter ones. Suppose Mr. Blank is in the midst of a game and his luck goes bad. He loses out on an overplayed low full and does the cigar slamming act. He gets another cigar. He fails to fill an ace high flush. He reaches for the cigar and slams it on the floor. 'Nother cigar. Bum hand. Slams it — on the table. Later gets another smoke. Bluffed out of the best hand. Reaches up to do the slam act and — strokes his mustache. | "Why, by jingo, 1 saw a swell geezer go through with this performance, and worse, one night, for on the second or third cigar he dropped a card and on the pretext of picking it up, recovered his perfecto. " The manager stopped in the midst of a faithfully realistic gesture and gazed disgustedly at my satirical smile. He picked up his packing-case hammer. "You go out of here, " he said.

MAY BE REORGANIZED Plans to Continue Buisnesi of U. S. Sm- matra Tobacco Growing Co A project is said to be in formation by creditors and stockholders of the United States Sumatra Tobacco Growing Co to ori,'anize a corporation to take over the company's assets and continue the busi- ness. The company, which owns a large I farm, is now in the hands of Hugh M, Alcorn, of Hartford, and George Q. Tennant, of Jersey City, as receivers. In furtherance of the project of the cred- itors and stockholders the Superior Court some time ago issued an order author- izing the receivers to sell the property at either private or public sale at a price not less than the appraised value of the assets.

CUT OUT THE LOAFING, "LTERE S another little knock which is meant for everybtdy whom it fits, and the wiiter believes that if it is taken to heart in the right way, good results will surely follow. There are a great many people in this world who consider that a cigar store is a perfectly natural place to loaf. These persons wouldn't think of going into a saloon and spending an hour or a whole evening without buyin;^ a drink every little while, but they will saunter into a cigar store, select a comfortable chair, if the proprietor has been foolish enough to provide one, and luxuriously occupy it as long as they feel like it. In the case of some of the smaller stores, the clerk, or proprietor is alone much of the time, and he likes the boys to drop in of an evening and in addition to settling the affairs of the nation, ac- curately designate the moral status of every woman and girl in the neighbor- hood. That is, some dealers do, and they will no doubt regard a suggestion which directs any other course of conduct as foolish in the extreme. "What hive I to gain?" they ask. "These fellows are my friends, they keep me from being lonely, and they buy all their smoking in my place. What possi- ble harm are they?" In pursuance of this policy, many re- tailers have put a long bench in their store to accommodate these guests, and two or three the writer knows of, have rocking chairs, with cushions on them, lor their dainty. callers. It's all wrong. Unless the place is a little jerk-water resort that sells one or two five cent ^brands, two-fers and Vir- ginia cigarettes, to the immediate neigh- bors.the man is sure to lose some trade from such causes^as this, and the more promi- nent his location, the more he will lose. Why there is a store on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, right in the heart of the business section, that at certain hours of the day, is filled with a lot of cheap loaf- ers who puff wickedly on five cent cigars and ogle every woman who passes. The writer has passed by that store more than once when;he wanted to buy some cigars, and knows of other men who have done the same thin a business bisis, the n.an whose trade counts, will invariably choose the latter. A certain man, who is very c iielul of his smoking, wanted to try one or two new brands that he had heard of, and was told to go to a particular store to get them. He was a man who always buys by the box and he likes to have a little talk with the cigar man while he is select- ing. He went to this store and rather won- dered at the large number of customers in it, who a minute later he saw weren't customers at all, but just the usual C(>lony of chair- warmers. The conversation was loud and general, but e\erybcdy knocked off for a minute and stared at him, one or two actually drawing nearer to hear what, would be said. The cle:k divided his attention between the jokes and the cus- tomer with such success for the former, that the man finally went out without making a putchase, vowing that he would tonipany is soon to be organized, to be capitalized at $200,000 and the machines will be sent all over the country In every city where these contrivances are allowed they make a considerable difference in the dealers' sales and all retailers will be interested in this particu- lar invention, inasmuch as it is claimed to be the only machine of its kind which has won the approval of the Government. It is so constructed that it will operate only when genuine coins are placed in the slot, while all kinds of slugs are thrown out through a slot in the side of the cabinet and the unwary man who works the machine with a bogus coin will not only not get a cigar, but will have the fraud exposed. In the cabinet the cigars are placed upright in the boxes held in little compartments somewhat like an egg crate holder, the bottom o^ the box being removed, and when the Coin is placed in the slot and a handle "Red Devil" Display in Keystone Tobacco Co/s Window. BO V E is a photograph of one of the most attractive display windows among the Philadelphia stores, which is to be seen at the headquarters of the Key. stone Tobacco Co., at 145 North Ninth street. This company is having a run on the "Ked Devil" popular brand of smoking and chewing tobacco which is manu- factured by the ' It doesn't require abnormal modesty for a manito object to entering a store where he has tojcrowd through a gang of harpies who eagerly listen to every woid he says, meanwhile sizing him up from head to foot. Of course, the natural argument* is, that the opinion of such individuals don t < ut much ice, but at the same^^time, given two stores, one of them in this' class, and the other run on never go to that store again. Incident- ally he didn't try the new brands, either, so the manufacturer lost also. When the door closed behind hini, th.e clerk exclaimed: "Wat ell d' think of that.^ Wonder he wouldn t know what he wanted 1" • • • CIGAR MACHINE REFUSES BAD COINS A NEW kind of cigar slot machine is to be put on the market, which prevents any loss to the owner from bad coins. The machine in being manufac- tured by the Lego Automatic Machine Co. in Grand K.ipids and has already been placed at varicuis points in this city and throughout the State. A larger turned the cigar drops into a slide and appears at the opening in the cabinet. When one row of cigars is exhausted a carriage moves the box over the drop so that the next row of cigars is available. The cabinets are arranged only for five- cent cigars at present, but are being pre- pared to vend lo-cent. two for a qu.uter and three for a c[uarter cigars. The de- vice is so arranged that if by any mis- chance the coin fails to work the cig.ir box the coin slides out and ilie operator is sure of getting either his cigar or coin. A magnet in the interior deflects steel slugs so they fail to work an.i >lugs of other material are rendered useless in working the device. The cabinets can be made to vend any number of different cigars and the largest will probably pro- vide for sixteen. MERCHANDISE DRAWING PLANS AT- TRACT TRADE. nPHR merchandise drawing plan whJLh has been in vogue in several of the first class stores of .Milwaukee the past summer and fall, is still being operated with .joy to the lucky ones and profit to the dealer. The system is this: With every purchase of 5 cents or over, a coupon is given, which is numbered, and which reads: "Saturday evening following this purcliase, there will be a drawing at this store at S o'clock sharp, awarding holders of the winning numbers the following prizes in merchandise; First prize. 55 00: second prize, $2.50; third prize. $1 25. Everyboily who buys gets a numbered coupon, .md there are no blanks. But the holders must be in the store. The winner of the first, or for that matter, any other pri.'e may be in .San Francisco, or or Portland, Me., and this helps along the dealer. Sometimes, however, one of the holders happens in the store at that time, and he may pick the merchandise called for on his coupon. This privilege is given the holder. The plan has proved popular, especially among the regular customers, but they have to be on the spot when the dr.iwing is made, or they lose. It is like drawing a ticket for a shave in a barber shop, and then going outside and permitting your turn to get away from you. • • • MAKE YOUR STORE THE EXCEP- TIONAL ONE. T ET every cigar and tobacco dealer bear one thing in mind; No smoker, no matter how little experience he may have had with low grade cigars, is going to buy freely of poor stock if it is possible to get better; and remember that there is likely to be a place entirely too near at hand where he will find it quite easy to get better stuff. Your game is to have that other place yourself. Make your store the sort of a place, to deal at which, people will go ^^^ out of their way. The small dealer who does his business on moderate priced ci- 1 gars and tobacco should use all of his judgment in selecting his brands and by ' always keeping that stock, however small, up to standard, he will find his trade will speedily build up into a profitable one. • • • A CORRESPONDENT in Colorado ■'*■ tells of a cigar store in Canon City which helps along dull times by various prize schemes one of which consists of giving numbered coupons with each loc purchase, the coupons to be saved for a drawing later on. Last week occurred the fir:-i drawing and attracted a large crowd to the store. The prizes consisted of a .$20 suit of clothes for first; >io worth of groceries, second; >;. 50 worth of meat, third and a $5 pair of shoes, fourth. The drawing was public, and was advertised before hand, and a large gathering was on h.md to see who the lucky ones would be. This is not a very large city, and interest was heightened by the fa t that everyone knew evervofie else.

Tuck, who is universally tnown among the retail trade of Phila- aelphia. and who a short time ago re- ^ired from the presidency of the Phila- _Jelphia Cigar and Tobacco Dealers' As- ^ociation, writes an extremely entertain- . ing letter from Los Angelos. where he is pleasantly situated for the winter. Fol- •'lowing is an excerpt from Mr. Tucks letter which will be interesting to his friends and acquaintances: * "The only stop we made coming here %was at Kansas City. Missouri, and 1 ■found that city so wide awake and Jfcapidly increasing in population, and new buildings, that I believe it is destined to become the New York of the W est. In October alone building permits for over a million dollars were taken out which excelled anything in the city's history. A new Union depot to cost three or four millions is in contemplation and will be a decided improvement as the one now used is inadequate and unsightly, as well as inconvenient. •■During my stay there of a week's duration I studied the cigar conditions, and find the trust goods under private brands, which are controlled b y their respective handlers, but few if any of the trusts brands were advertised except in the United Cigar Stores Co.'s places, and the latter are not successful as they gave up the best location they had which was taken by an independent concern. Such action shows they arewatchmg expenses closely, as the raising of rent caused their evacuation. (••The tables arc turning and inde- pendents arc driving them to cover by possibly the same tactics they themselves had formerly utilized to drive out others. "I smoked Cincos and Manetos and felt I was at home. "After departing from Kansas City over the Sante Fe route we passed oyer about twenty miles of washout which took place three weeks before cur com- ing and which cost the railroad over two million dollars, and to view the rapidly constructed trestle work and filled in railroad beds w a s a wonderful sight. Since our departure we have had noth- ing but sunshine. "The city of Los Angeles is growing so rapidly that it will be famous as a residential location and one of the largest cities in this Sute. Some of the condi- tions are very difTerent here, for instance rats live up the trees and squirrels, owls and prairie dogs live together in holes in the ground, water is nearly alto- gether under the ground, and without irrigation very little soil would be pro ductivc "The retail cigar trade, which I have not yet studied carefully, seems to be done in front of saloons, barber shops and every available outside corner where a case five feet long can be stuck. Dice shaking is the rage, as like in Philadel- phia, all machines were cleared out, but with the coming of more Eastern people and growth of the city, more beautiful cigar stores will appear and in course of time will predominate. There are no United Cigar Stores Co. places here and while there is much talk of them coming to San Francisco. I have not heard of their signs beings out yet." J. E. Tick, Hotel Bellevue Terrace, Los Angeles, Cal. — The executive committee of the Dark Tobacco District Planters' Association of Kentucky and Tennessee met at Guthrie last week and executed articles of incor- poration which were forwarded for record. Satisfactory reports from all the counties were read. 5 BLACK THREADS Long Cut The Fintst Heavy Pipe Smoking Tobacco manafactared. Packed by hand in ^yi oz. packages. g| Union Made.

Muniz. Hnos & Co. seem to do Itusiness n a large scale when Don I>uis thinks the time has come to turn over the irnods with a small profit, as he says he wants his buyers also to make some money, and that he does not want it all for his firm. As a result their sales ran up to l.'>00 bales last week. The Spanish Regie has at last commenced to operate, and while no exact reports of its doinas can be had yet. it stands to reason that the purchases will be suf- ficient to clear the market of the low priied grades of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios. Sobriuos de A. Gonzales have sold 1200 bales of all kinds of leaf. M. Bluinlein has not waited in begin- uing purchases for his firm, although no exact amount can be stated yet. Sobrinos de V.

A. Pazos has been doing the usual hustling business since his return here, although he is too modest to give any figures of his sales. Jose Menendez closed out 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido, and is in treaty upon some still larger lots.

Trade among the retailers has been fairly good the past week, the cigar fac- tories all appear to be busy and the job- bers seem to be contented. Most of the retailers who ha\«> been giving their own coupons with every pur- chase have stopped doing so on a«c'.unt of the new State law which went into effect De<'ember 1. and it means quite a saving to them. The Cnited Cigar Stores are about the only ones giving away coupons, and they are compelled to pay 3 per cent, to the State for doing so. Ue- tailers were kept very busy on the "JUth and yoth buying up the Fl«>rodora cou- pons, many people being ignorant of the fact that the time of the redemption of same had been extended another year. They were anxious to dispose of same, and many coupons were bought at 25 to :;0 cents for a hundr«>d whole ones. U. A. Patterson, of the K. A. Patter- son Tobacco Company.

The trade stopped to gasp a HttK' ;it the marriage of the most imiwrtaut fac- tor ill the tobacco business— .Tames li. Duke-as that magnate had been n- giirded as a coufirmed bachelor. Some of the •'! told you sos" are wagging their heads, though and declaring that thty were wise to what was coming, right alo:ig. Of course, it is now evi- dent that the largo operations which have I'.'on conducted on Mr. Duke's summer place were in anticipation of this happy eveit. ^ The United Cigar Stores Co. is wag- ing a suit against a Bowery retailing firm to comp«'l it to refrain from imi- tating the g'?t-up of the stores of the United Co., which is made distinctive by the red band around the windows, the coupon system, store arrangement, etc., which the United Stores Co. claims because it was the originator. This will act as a test case, and some of the United Co.'s officials intimate that if it is successful there will be a num- ber of cases brought against dealers who the company believes are trying to copy its style. The case will probably not be tried for two or three weeks. • • • 'Hie Brooklyn branch of the local deal- ers' assuciatiiiu nici last week and talk- ed over the plans for going to I'hila- delphia duiing :he week of the exposi- tion. Most of the members were en- thvsiastic over the affair, i.nd Brooklyn will contribute a large quota to the delegation. According to rei>orts. the association is now doing a business of about .$30,(XK) a month and the coupons ai«' moving better than ever before. The ifxt meeting, in January, will com- memorate the second anniversary of the establishnu nt of the association in Br.'oklyn. and there will be a special pre grim. ♦ • • The B.)ard of Trustees of the New Yoik Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade met durini: the week and considered plans to m.ike etlicient protest against the proposed reduction of the duty on Phil- ippine tobacco to 25 ixr cent, of the Dinghy tariff. This body is not the lirst to take action in this matter, and in the campaign to be waged the co- operat on has been promised of a num- ber of other organizations. The Cigar- makers' International Union is among those vitally concerned. E. Locker & Co., jobbers, at 267-73 Bushwick avenue, Brooklyn, have sent out a circular hesided "ltni>ortant to the Entire Tobacco Trade." which explains the company's suit in the New York Supreme Court against the American Tobacco Co. a;.d the Metropolitan Tobacco Co., news of which was print- ed in these columns some weeks ago. 'Hie circular, which is dated December 3, is rather voluminous and reads in part as follows: We have recently begun a suit in the New York Supreme Court against the American ToVtacco Co. and the Metro- politan Tobacco C«».. which we have undertaken in order to pietect ourselves against what we regard as an unlawful I combination in restraint of trade, where- by the frf^e pursuit of our lawful busi- 1 ness in this State is restricted; and. in I view of many references made to our f litigation in the public journals, we have decided to make the following statement concerning it to the trade. In the year 18C2, long prior lu ihe or- ganizatinii of the tobacco trust, mir pre- decessor in business, the late Henry Herbert, and his associates, fouini-d and built up our tobacco h«»use in tlii>~ ulace, where for more than forty yem- it has continued to do an extensive ami ino-s- perous business. The business ha-< 'urn- ed and established a valuable i.'....! will jind reputation throughout Greater New York and elsewhere, and has l..,ome generally known throughout tht- emu- try as the largest tobacco estalilislniieiit in" the United States doing business !.«th nt wholesale and rt-tail. About 181H> the American T'Okoco Conipanv was incorporated, and :i> it gradually absorbed many of the toba.oo ujanulacturing houses with whom nir establishment had previously done Iim- uess. it stropoli- tan Tobacc. Ci. was formed. Plien the American Tobacco Co.. having quietly secured and put out of business all t le • oncerns of which we could buy the n!erchan.'h the Metropolitan Tobacco t <« as its repnsentative and distributor. aiM that thereafter it would ni»t till any fa- ther or.lers in iireater N'"^^\"^';»'^\;'V cept those which came through the M.'t- M>llitan Tobafco Co.. and likewise the American Tobacco Co. n self, then urgently solicited and urc-l our business house to continue to it tli" dealings which for so many years ^^" had had direetiv with the American 1 o- ba.co Co.. ami with other compiinMs which had meanwhile become absoii>e.l in it. Its repres«Mitatives renewed their assurances and reatlinned that every po - nible consideration shoul.l always i»«* shown us. Special rewards were ot- tered by the American Tobacco Co. to our salesmen for persuading our house to purchase its merchandise, and for ideiitifving ourselves with the sah> of the various tobacco products, cigarettes, etc., marketed by it. After the formation of the MetropoU tan Tobacco Co.. and the secret combi nation made between the American To- bacco Co. and itself, the American T. • bacco Co. continued frequently to send to us its agents to solicit the contimia tion of our orders to the Metropolitai; Tobac < or «omplaint of our course of busines^, and in defiance of our previous under- standing and course of trade, and o. every principle of fiiir dealini:. the Met- roliolitan Tobacco Co.. as we believe, by the »lirecti(Mi ' ness was too prosperous, and that unl' -s we would consent to sell out to th' »• upon their own terms and would agi-e never again to go into the same bi '■ ness they would boycott us and prex it iiur pnnlia^iiit: .inywhere the nieri •' •She glatfelter-snyder tobacco CO.

Secretary Taffs pet scheme to help out the Philippines by his tariff proposition is creating all kinds of an argument, and the domestic tobacco trade does not pro- pose to see the reduction go into effect if it can do anything to prevent it. A number of organizations have placed themselves on record as against the cut. among them the New York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, and it is certain at least that strong opinions will be expressed before the plan is permitted to go through, J, ^ , u I % The Philadelphia Record had the foU lowing to say editorially ; ♦•An organ of the tobacco trade has a Washington correspondent who is earnestly engaged in p.oving that the increase of freight rates that will result from the exclusion of for- eign shipping from the Philippine trade will be to ft«i sufficient t« offset the reduction in tobacco duty recommended by Secretai y I aft. The paper also presents a p»clui* ot the secreiar), duvKc- -Jj i i « nos, throwing the entire tobacco tradeofthecountryintoconsternation by his proposal to reduce duties to 25 per cent of the Dingley rates. The packer, the leaf grower and the manu- facturer look as if they were about to fall dead. Of course, the protected in- terest alway does this sort of thing. The presentand prospective tobacco output of the islands is not great enough to destroy any interest, but the attitude of this trade paper shows how little likelihood there is of a Republican Congress reducing duties on Philippine oi any other products. The Republicans are bound not to reduce any duty that any one will say !• of pecuniary value to him." l*t us hope that the Record is a good employ of the M. Goldberg Co. , cigarists, at 98 Liberty street, New York. These coupons cigaf, » I c«nt one, soon poured in and ^1 ran up a W* n^ous's^e which continued m «^ time.

Lipschutz. one of Philadelphia's enterprising cigar manufacturers, and a great admirer of President Roosevelt, sent the Chief Executive a box of the manu- facturer's famous La Flor De Lips, ac companied by his hearty congratulations on the result of the election. Mr. Lip- schutz received a prompt acknowledg- ment from the President in the form of the following letter: White House, Washington. Nov. ii, 1904- My Dear Sir: Your recent favor has been received and the President thanks you for the courtesy which you have been good enough to extend to him. Very truly yours, W, LoEii. Jr., Sec't'y to the President. The President, With hearty thanks for your congratu- lations. Manufacturers are Busy. ••All the manufacturers seem to be as busy as the proverbial bee." said a to- bacco man this week, who gets arouud considerable. "They all have plenty of orders, and while some of them aren t putting out much stuff in Philadelphia, they all have good outof town trade. "Many of them are rushed to death to get their holiday orders out in time, and some aren' t doing much holiday busi- ness because they say their normal trade has increased to such an extent I would say that things are in very good shape and that every manufacturer's books will show a quite satisfactory year. Situation with Jobbers the Same. The situation remained practically the same with the jobbers during the week, some relief being felt in the fact that, as one jobber expressed it, "the circular man of the American Tobacco Co. was taking a vacation " It is believed by most of the jobbers that the Penn To- bacco Co. has ceased giving its 5 per cent discount, a s n o rates could be learned of during the week at the cut rate. Although the American Tobacco Co. announced no further change dunng the week, the jobbers are still dissatisfied with the situation, one of them making the statement that he was practiolly do- ing business at a loss. There does not seem to be any help for it though until the combine chooses to let up, of which there seems no probability at present. Bayuk Bros, are making preparations | to abandon their present location on ; Market street above Fifth to occupy 50 North Third street, which was formerly the address of Boltz, Clymer & Co. The Third street building has six stories and will give the firm about 13.OCO square feet in the aggregate, which it has sorely needed. Sam Bayuk said that the fiim would be doing business in the new lacation by the first of the year if every thing goes right ' 'We are very busy just now with holiday orders." he said, •' and are very much cramped for room. There does not seem to be quite as much demand for fancy packages this year and we are heartily glad of it" The firm will go out of the retail field at the end of the month. J. W.

Jobbers and Dealers Become Convinced at Sight Samples and Particulars to Keliable People on Application. Sig. C. Mayer & Co. . who a few weeks ago opened a new cigar factory at 417 Locust street, have gotten fairly well under way, and in a very short time. They have adopted as their business motto and trade phrase, "()uaUty Will Tell," and propose to rely upon their product to make good. They will be in thoroughly active operation about the first of January. The El Draco Cigar Manufacturing Co. is working on a fine ^eed Havana brand which^will be put on the market the first of the year.". The label. Governor Hig- gins, has already been received and the factories are beginning work on the cigar. The smoke will sell for 10 cents and will be of a quality that will make it popular up^York State. S. Omicron & Co. .makers of the Omi- cron Egyptian cigarettes, at 430 Walnut street, are opening a new store and sales room at 223 South Broad street, which will be beautifully fitted out with orientals, etc , and made an exceptionally attractive store and salesroom. They are expecting to have their opening day on Saturday next. Dempsey & Koch, of Second and Race streets, are compelled by their rapidly increasing business, to seek larger quar- ters, and will remove their plant as soon as a satisfactory location is secured. This firm does a large Western business which is constantly increasing. During an interview with Morris Langs- dorf, of J. Langsdorfs Sons, this week we were informed that their factories were all extremely busy at present and that prospects for continued good business were exceptionally bright. The Colbro Cigar Co. is a new firm of cigar manufacturers which will start in business next week at 17 North Third street. The firm will put out the Colbro 5 cent cigar, which will be a new brand on the market. %» E. Regensburg, of E. Regensburg & Sons, manufacturers of t h e American Havana cigar, called on the local trade this week in company with the firm's local representative, .Mr. Cane. Joseph Vetterlein, of Vetterlein Bros., is in Boston this week looking after the New England end. This firm still needs cigarmakers, who seem to be decidedly scarce. P. Budinger, representing the Bloch Bros. Tobacco Co., of Wheehng, W. Va.. was i n town this week looking after things. A. S. Valentine & S >n report things to be in the best of shape .ind say that their factories are rushed to keep up with orders. Ciumpert Bros, are having a good run of orders now and will h ive an attracti e exhibit at the Tobacco Show next week. Henry Kraus, of Kraus & Co., of Bal- timore, spent a few days in town this week looking after his business interests. There did not seem to be quite so many salesmen in town this last week as usual, and many who did put in an ap. pearance, reported that things on the road are very quiet just now. Anione those who were seen were Messrs. W P. Bushell. of the Jose Loveira Co., of New York; Houghton, of Tallack & Stevens, Boston; .Manley, American To. baccuCo. ; Geo. Weiss, National Cuba Co. ; Weisert, of the Weisert Bros. I bacco Co. ; Metzger, of Berriman Bros., and Tom Bowen, of Guerra, Diaz & Co %%%%%<%%» LezLff Dea^Iers* Jottings. Sales in the leaf market were slightly better this week, although in most cases there was little animation. There is fair inquiry and some demand although there will not be a great deal of trading done until the middle of next month and knowing and expecting this dealers are not complaining a great deal, and as some of them are doing rather more than they expected, the feeling is an opti- mistic one. Then, too, every one unites in the opinion that the coming year will be a good one. L. P. Kimmig, of L. P. Kimmig & Co. , returned from his western trip this week well satisfied with the business done. Mr. Kimmig went to Lancastv yesterday to look after his Pennsylvania holdings, and will remain there some days. Inquiry for 1903 Pennsylvania is good. E. A. Calves & Co. reported the week* s business to be much better than normal, considerable Havana leaf having been sold right in this market. Not a great deal of business is looked for at this time of year generally and this spurt is very encouraging. Karl Strauss, of K. Strauss & Co., than whom there is no better judge of a horse in the Philadelphia leaf trade, was one of the first to take advantage of the snowfall and was seen on Tues- day whizzing along in his sleigh on the Speedway.

This section has been sutlering very much this year from the fict that the farmers have had no "season." Tobacco now being ofYercil is of very poor quality, and weijihs out light. .Some good work- ing tr.bacco is expected in soon, however. Fine wrappers and very mean, nonde- script tobacco sell at remaritably good prices, comparatively speaking. The acreage this year has been reduced 20 per cent, it is thought. It is estimated that the acreage in the locality of South Boston. Va., has been reduced about 25 per cent and most of the tobacco is being held back to await a "season." «^ «««%%%% CONNECTICVT CROP SAFELV THROUGH THE CURING SEASON. The Connecticut crop can now be said to have safely passed through the curing season and is ir good shape. Pole sweat has not developed. Most of the tobacco is still hanging in the sHeds, and the growers are awaiting a warm rain to dampen the leaf so that it can be taken down to advantage. Some of the to- bacco has already been taken down and stripped. The crop can be considered one of the largest and most satisfactory ever grown in Connecticut, and although the quality does no; in all respects justify previous expectations it is far above the average. FACTORY CHANGE. George Rtiter. the pioneer cigar man- ufacturer. of Fort Wayne, Ind.. has sold h.s factory to Frank Thompson, who has acted as general manager for several years. Mr. Reiter began manufacturing the Pony cigar in this city in 1866 and has been actively engaged in the busi- ness ever since. The factory has a retail department. C. A.

THIRD ST HILJkDBL^HIA I I •j-TriE TeB/ieeo Worlb^ ITEMS FILOM ST. LOUIS President Roosevelt Will Look Over Tobacco Situation, tobacco culture in Ireland. Gleaned Here and There In City's Tobacco District. St Louis, Dec. 12. ^m The cigar box department of the Moser Company is normally busy. The fine workmanship and stock is to be remarked upon, in fact the output of Western manufaciurers is typical in this respect. The new building of the C. Peper estate which is being erected on the site of a recent conflagration, is rapidly near- ing completion. There is no great activity in cigar leaf circles though things are moving under the impetus of new crop reports. St. Louis is no longer a cheapjohn in this branch, the manufactured product and stocks bearing out the fact. Cigar leaf row is still confined to Market street but one concern, David Broida's, having location in Broadway. This neighborly crowding is quite appieciated by manu- facturers and salesmen, but sometimes compels the leaf men to move in narrow, uncomfortable quarters. Owing to the 'disintegration of the single factory sys tcm, Burley tobacco is no longer carried by the local leaf men other than those directly attached to the C. T. and A. T. factories. Henry Albers Co., 712 North Twelfth street, are building up a good local trade in pipes of their own manufacture which includes the turner's and engraver's art. The stock comprises all but cob lines. Missouri's cob pipe industry is still expanding, several new firms and corpo- rations having gone into the business in recent years in the cob pipe district. Hickory and other pipe wood stock are becoming one of Missouri's forest pro- ducts. They say Sam Werner, once a cigar manufacturer, i s about the shrewdest thing to be found as a cigar leaf buyer. The Fair is over but good cigars are still en the regular menu. ^^1^ Manufactured tobacco lines among the ^^Tetailer' s seem to lack animation probably letlecting the disposition of the average 4ealer,y et, the demand continues reg liar and normal. The dealer's pur- pose in trying to offset the profit loss in Increased cigar and sundry sales is really Commendable. The magnates of the jobbing and manufacturing cigardom, such as T. Wright & Co., Wm. A. Stickney & Co., Rice Merchant Cigar Co , Geo. Fehl B. K. C. Co., Peter Hauptman & Co., Meyer Bros. Drug Co., offer little to re- .verse the general verdict that the year's (business has been of good volume and profits. AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY GIVE MEN VACATION.

If you are like most dealers, you know just a half truth about Puerto Rican Tobacco. But Here is THE OTHER HALF of the Truth: The Upland Districts, Cayey and Caguas, raise as Fine To- bacco as grows anywhere in the world. There is as much difference between this and the rank coast product which has given Puerto Rican tobacco a "black eye" as between *' chalk and cheese.'' All Cuban tobacco is not fine, but you judge Cuba by its Best. Don't judge Puerto Rico by its Worst. Try the Amorife on your customers. Do not decide on prejudice, but on merit. Ihe Amorife is a perfectly made and perfectly conditioned cigar, of a flavor and smoking quality that delights and surprises smokers who w^ere never satisfied before. We simply ask you not to judge until you try it. For full particulars, that will convince you of the truth of what we say, See Our Exhibit at the Retail Ci^ar & Tobacco Dealers' Exhibitioiv at Horticultural Hall,Phila., OR ADDRESS OUR New York Office, No. 90 Wall St. CAYEY CAGUAS TOBACCO COMPANY -^li*— J i6 THE TOBACCO WORLD THE TOBACCO WORLD «7 ^B , Telephone Call, 432 — B.

LANCASTER TRADE KEEPS VP. io GretLt Spurt, But Bussincss it Up *o NormaLl. Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 12. Trade in the local leaf market has |een moving along at a moderate rate tnd no very ambitious spurt is expected tntil after the holidays. There con- tinue to be reports of occasional sales of old goods, but holdings of original owners are simmering lower and lower. There was very little activity in the buying of new crop during the past week, first for the reason that a large iroportion of the crops has already been rought up, and, secondly, because -weather conditions were not at all favor- |ible to driving and inspecting tobacco |)n the poles. 1 The cigar trade generally is in excel- lent condition, although I hear of a few •instances in which manufacturers com- plain of dullness. At Terre Hill, C. M. :iime & Bro., are exceptionally busy, in [fact never were busier than they are re- [ported to be at this time. Some of the other factories there, however, are not particularly rushed. The reports of the output for Novem- ber which was first reported in clear de- tail in The Tobacco World was most gratifying information to our manufac- turers, but It is not expected that this month' s figures will reach that amount, John Slater, of John Slater & Co., who resides in Washington, Pa., was spend- ing last week at the factory here, where he found things in fine shape, and order books well filled. There came up in the Common Pleas Court here last week an interesting case involving several well-known to- bacco men. It was a suit brought by N. G. Yergcr and John R, Bricker, trad- ing as N, G. Yerger & Co., of Lititz, versus S. L. Johns, of McSherrystown. The suit was brought to recover $890, allegetl to have been their loss in a cer- tain tobacco transaction. The plaintiffs claimed that in 1902 Yerger sold the defendant 3(J0 cases of stH'd leaf and 78 cases of Connecticut tobacco. They further said that they were to meet Johns at Petersburg with the samples on August 18 of that year, but that the defaudant failed to put in his appearance and that Yerger then left the samples there, and that on Au- gust 23 finally met Johns. The Con- necticut was sold and paid for, and that he (Johns) said he would look over the other tobacco the next day, but that they received a letter from said Johns on September 2, which said that the tobacco did not come up to the sam- ples. Yerger said he then asked Johns what was the matter with the tobacco, and he said that it was not sweated properly. Yerger alleged that he had examined several cases and that they appeared to be properly sweated and that he offered to go over the entire lot, but Johns re- fused to do so and suggested a settle- ment by arbitration. Yerger said he had nothing to arbitrate and the result was that Johns did not settle for the tobacco. Mr, Bricker then said he had sold the tobacco at a loss of $890. It was claimed for the defendants that there was no contract to buy the to- bacco. It was alleged that the Penn- sylvania seed tobacco was to be re- sampled after which Johns reserved the right to reject it. It was resampled and . >«»^.. »... — , did not meet the requirements. The jury, •_ : -11 u- - ,u^^ «,««t»i it hmtna however, after being out for some little because it will be a short month, it being ^.^^ rendered a verdict in favor of the customary with many factories to close plaintiffs for the full amount of the , .

Cincinnati WaLrehoute Ifttereits Aren't Satisfied With Situ«Ltion. Cincinnati, O., Dec. Ii. The burley tobacco situation is notviewed with the greatest of satisfaction by local warehouse interests. Confirmation of reports that the combine has started buying direct from farmers, paying high prices, coupled with the fact that the Burley Tobacco Growers' Association is still more or less a live issue, makes the prospects of heavy receipts of the 1904 crop in this market rather dim. To date, less than 50 hhds. of new have been auctioned at the five warehouses. These tobaccos showed good body and texture, a fair length and spread of leaf I and a most satisfactory proportion of , color. Old tobaccos that have been "put up" are out of stocks that were purchased last summer during a boom market, and the holders are not realiz ing profit on their venture. The average price of the new tobaccos at present is $9.60 per 100 pounds, compared 1059.85 for the corresponding period last year. Receipts from January 1 to December i this year have been 2 1,004 hhds., against 50,053 in 1903 and 48,046 in 1902 Stock statement from January i to De- cember I, this year, 6, 843 hhds., against 9,942 in 1903 and 10,426 in 1902. Offerings were fair at last Saturday's cigar leaf sales, aggregating I53cabes. The feature was the Zimmers, the offer- ings of this type being the best seen on j the breaks for many weeks. The greater I portion sold above 6c, and ranged from , that figure up to 132/0 per pound. The | Connecticuts were below the average in quality, only a few cases selling between j Z%c and I4>ic. The competition for these goods of quality was very active, and realizations were from ic to i>^c higher than recent sales. Wisconsins were a rather inferior lot, offerings being I confined exclusively to common fillers and stogie stock. Prices ran from $1 to $3.70 per 100 pounds. John C. Davis, of 412 Vine street, is having a great run on the Anavah, a 10- cent smoke, and Davis' Select, a 5 cent brand. Jobbers report trade steadily improv- ing.

The Continent.il Tobacco Com- pany abo has outstanding |i, 581,100 of debenture bonds which, of course, would also be prior to the six per cent bonds of the new company. There are bond experts who believe that the .American Cigar Company notes guaranteed by the American and Conti- nental Tobacco Companies are a far bet- ter security than the 6 per cent bonds of the new company. Bond experts who have given the tobacco bonds some study have reached the conclusion that they cannot by any means be classed as a tirst class investment security. They are not only not secured br any mortgage or collateral but the provision in regard to retiring the bonds through a sinking fund is too indetinite. The retiring of the bor.ds is to be done at the discretion of the trustee. There is nothins: c.mpu'.son.- about it. and if the bonds are not seUing at 120 or be'.ow there is r.o arrar.^-ert'.ent f.ir ictinng thetr4 by any other method. It seems that one oi the results of the tobacco merger h.is been that the value oi the preferred stock ot the old .Ameri can and Contmenta". and the value of the common stocks :i the >ame compa n.es have been pir.ially equal-red. In ether words, the holders' ot the Consoli- dated Tobacco 4 per ;cnt collateral trust bonds, which nere forr::er'.y exchanged '■ ' .'^5 common sto.ks oi the .\mencan and Cont:r.er.:a'. co-.-.par.ies and which •vere '.arje.v held by the Morton Trust Company interests have gained by the merger while the preferred stocks of the Americar. ar.d Continental companies, which were ".argely held br the p-b'.io. have obviously lost by the operation.

Manufacturers cer- tainly can not complain ot not having been properly warned of the dangerous risks they were taking, and those who may have suffered in consequence of not heeding The Tobacco World's good- natured advice have no one to but themselves for their own selfishness and utter disregard of their promises made to the government when they -.^erc granted licenses to engage in the busi- ness of manufacturing cigars. It is argued that it has fallen as a ^reat hardship on many poor farmers, and a'.so some others, who are perhaps well enough to do.

In presenting this brand of cigars to the public it has been so named becaii^ it represents in its quality with wonderful fidelity what the word means. Manufactured from the finest selected leaf, evincing the most skilled workmanship and the careful blendings of various flavors and grades of tobacco, producing a cigar of unexcelled merit. Its delicious aroma, its mellow satisfying taste has won for it the high commendation of those who appreciate the best. Our aim is to build a cigar which will not only be superior because we say it, but one in which the proof of its superiority will rest in the smoking of it, a cigar which w411 win for itself a place in the estimation of those who know what a good cigar really is. It ranges in price from $35 per thousand to $300 per thousand. F. V. ESHLEMAN. C. A. ROST & CO., All Grades of Leaf Tobacco, RED LION, Pa. THE TOBACCO Vs' O x 1 1 THE TOBACCO WORLD 39 B.

Exposition, Formally Opened Monday Noon, Brings to City Representatives of Many Independent In- terests Who Assemble in Convention. J. HARVEY Mc HENRY T the present writing, two days after its opening, theTobacco Show can safely je counted as an assured success. All Iremblings as to its welfare are practically iver, and Chairman Boch, as President John Landstreet in his opening remarks said, can consider that he and his assist- lants have achieved a notable triumph. ; The Tobacco World printed in last Iweek's issue an account of the inception jf the Tobacco Show and its subsequent ievelopment, and taking all preparations [into account, assumed that it would be I a success. Owing to the nature of the affair, the first of its kind, it was impos- sible to determine positively until the very opening day whether it would succeed in its purpose— that of placing before the general public conjointly a fair representation of the principal brands of cigars, cigarettes and manufactured to- baccos made outside the American To- bacco Company's factories and control. Visitors Ca.nie Early. A few of the exhibits were delayed in preparation and the Exposition was really not in shape for the public eye before Monday afternoon. At noon, however, visitors began to arrive and continued in a steady stream until the closing hour at 1 1 o'clock in the evening. In spite of the extremely unpleasant weather condi- tions Horticultural Hall was crowded all the evening, both in the exhibit room and the hall in which the entertainment features took place. The same was true on Tuesday and Tuesday night. Not a little of the importance and significance of the affair, as an independ- ent movement is provided by the annual JAS. I.

"We are even now advertising for bids for supplies of tobacco, and these will be opened on the fifteenth of the month. Put in your bids and see if you can* t land one of the contracts. But I don't want you Philadelphia manufac- turers to let your out of town competitors underbid you. I must say that I'd rather see the business remain in my home city as long as it falls to the independent association." John Landstreet, president of the Independent Manufacturers' Association of the United States, replied to Mr. Shoyer. He said: "Philadelphia is a unique city. Unique in many ways, but particularly as a convention city. Many cities strive in every way to claim the distinction of being known as ' The Convention City, ' and yet, despite their most strenuous efforts, Philadelphia has been crowned with that title without trying to win it This is due largely to the many advanta- ges which the city enjoys and also to the people of the city themselves, who have no peers as entertainers and extenders of hospitality. ••Philadelphia, as the 'City of Brotherly Love,* is a particularly appropriate place B.

Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 12. The local cigar manufacturers, and there are a great many of them, have been buying leaf very heavily the past few weeks because of the largely in cre.ised demand for cigars of ail grades. The leaf jobbe s hive been doing a rushing bu>iness, and even the sales men who make this territory say the winter business thus far is better than any other year they remember. At the big Adams plant, as well as the Leiileridorf factory, where smoking and i chewing tobacccs are turned out by the hundteris and thousands of pounds, there has been a ^reat increase m bu-i- n{s« the pa t year I he pri/e plan has been in vogue for some time ! / both of these large compinies. and the oflkia's who conduct this department, t'eclare that the scheme is profitable. Nothing is heard thus far regarding the proposed establishment of five more j stores by the United people, but there seems to be no apparent reason why thev should publish their intentions. They , came into Milwaukee rather (juietly. and j it is supposed they will put in other , stores whenever they see tit Whether the amount of business done in the two stores they have here, is considered l.irge enough to justify them in establishing five or any other number of new ones, is a secret for them selves, but their business in the stores on f.rand avenue and Wis- consin street, seem to be doing fairly well. Leading retailers still declare the advent of the trust has not affected them in the least; that their business is better this winter than it ever has been. The increased consumption of tobacco in all forms, gives a wider range for all sto-es to do business, andwithin the pist two weeks, two large new letaU stores have been opened.

Dec. 8. The Chicago daily paper which has practically been conducting the publicity end of the fight which some of the etail dealers are waging against the .An.erican Tobacco Co.. is printing consideiable matter which among right minded per- sons is likely to do more harm than good. A large number of consumers are -etting tired of the indiscriminate spiteful .nock- ing. which is not at all a faithful lepie- sentation of the way the best cl -s of dealers voice their complaints. For instance, the following was printed in a recent issue of the paper in .jies. lion, after a yellow introduction: Choleric with indignation a trust entered the store of one of theinde; ent dealers last week and accuse of being responsible for the ar against the New York combine. 'I The criticism of our mode of business is not understood, ' sai agent. "There's more truth than poet the anicle,'" replied the dealer. "You II not gain anything byth. tides against us," spluttered the salesman. Hearing this, a third person joir the warfare — a customer. The newcomer had just bought . fecto carefully siipulating that it ^ not Le from tiust brands.

In some places where the I tobacco sheds were built rear to the hills on the south and east, wheie the hills I kept the cold winds from striking into j and around the sheds, the tobacco was I in very fair order. This was November 26, but where the sheds on the same j farm were out side of the hill shelter. the tobacco did not get dimp enough. The stem retained their brittleness.

Palm Rolling Essential to Hand-Work. qpHIS IS THE SIMPLEST AND MOST PRACTICAL TOOL yet introduced in connection with Cigar- X making. The cutting rollers are so equipped with ball bearings and exterior springs that they only , produce enough pressure to cut the leaf, thui maintaining a sharp edge on the die and assuring a perfect, clean cut, superior to hand-work. The circumference of the cutting roller being greater than the length of the die, makes tearing or streaking of the wrapper impossible Then, after the leaf has been cut, a slight depression with the right foot pedal will lower the die even with the table, thus making a perfectly smooth and rigid surface, enabling the operator to Roll with the Full Palm of the Hand, instead of pushing the cigar along with the finger tips. Changing of the die to any shape, or from right to left, or the reverse, is a very simple matter on this table, and can be done within two minutes time. These points of merit, coupled with others not mentioned, have won for this table the high standard of excellence maintained to-day, a fact that cannot conscientiously be claimed by any of our competitors. We stand ready to prove our statement, and all we ask is for the opportunity. We Think IT WILL PAY VOU to Investigate.

Boston, Mass., Dec. 19. Business is dull here and all the re- tailers are complaining. As it is gener- ally good this time of the year, people don't know what the cause is. In town during the past week were the following: M. Bondy, of Kaufman Bros. & Bondy, pipe manufacturers, New York; Sam Marcuson, representing American Tobacco Co., who is here placing the Hassan Turkish 5 cent cigarette; Mr. Hirschell, of Hirschell & Bendhiem, manufacturers of corn cob pipes, SU Louis, Mo. ; A. Fisher, representing A. Bohn & Co., leaf dealers. New York; M. Falk, of Falk Tobacco Co., Richmond; Herbert Michew, representing Hilson Co. J. Moran, of American Tobacco Co., has been assigned here to woik on But- ler's brand of plugs. He formerly worked the western part of the State. Vic. Sheppard,with the KhedivialCo., New York, is making good on the Turk- ish Delights, their 10 cent goods. Vic. is certainly a hustler. The El Cafe brand, manufactured by L. Miller & Sons, New York, is certainly a winner and is to be found in almost every first class cigar store here. David Frank & Co. have an elegant window display this week of the Barrister cigar made by Celestino & Co., York, Pa., of which they are the New England distributor. The Commonwealth Cigar Co. have postponed opening their new store on Court street until January 2. Baker Bros., the popular Hanover street jobbers, have launched on the market a new 5c cigar, londres shaped, called Its Easy— The Best The cigar duplicates in nearly every store it is placed. A. E. Eames, of the Keene Cigar Co. , Keene, New Hampshire, spent a few days in Boston last week. Of all the special holiday packages put up by the leading cigar manufacturers here, the "J. A," manufactured by Alles & Fisher, seems to excel all in neatness, originality, etc W. Rosenfeld, the New England rep- resentive of Geo. Flatauer, a New York cigar manufacturer, is certainly making things hum herewith their Union League 5c cigar, which brand enjoys a sale in this locahty of more than 100,000 a month. The American Tobacco Co. is making attractive window displays of Moguls. Leroy Cubanos, made by L. Miller & Sons, New York, are to be found in nearly every first class cigar stand here. A. Minsky has purchased the cigar stand at 26 Cambridge street. Fred Bieringer, o f Exchange street, has taken out a manufacturer's license and is now making cigars in)the rear of his store. Alfonrich Bros,, 152 Franklin street, have recently put in a lineof L. Miller & Sons, New York, brands of cigars. El Cafe, San Remo and Little Princess. Larus Bros. & Co.

Box 98 Market Quieter But Business Good in Havana, Buyers Consider Advance in Prices Justified and Believe Quotations Will Be Still Better for the Remainder of the Crop. [Special Correspondence ot The Tobacco The tremendous activity noted in the previous week has not continued during the past eight days, but still the busi- ness done was of a big nature, showing that the demand has kept up, and the buyers consider the advance not alone justified, but believe still in belter quo- tations for the remainder of the crop. While at this period of the season there is the usual uncertainty with re- spect to the growth ot the plants in the field, it is, however, well to bear in mind that the current of news is evidently in- terpreted as less favorable, because other- jwise the sellers would be disposed to let go of their holdings at more reasonable figures, while the buyers would be less anxious to replenish their wants upon a large scale. Excepting a few (new) Partidos wrap- pers, fully six months have to pass yet before the packing season opens again, ' and a year before the heavy filler part jwould be cured enough under favorable (circumstances to be workable by the ^manufacturers, therefore all speculations 'are based upon guesswork pure and sim- *ple, excepting that all knowing parties dmit that Remedios leaf cannot be ounted upon for a big crop, as less jounds are cultivated for tobacco, owing :o the more promising yield in planting Isugar cane in the Santa Clara province. There are enough stocks in the mar- ket of Vuelta Abajo, fillers principally, but they are more of the lighter varieties mkor clear Havana cigar manufacturers, ■while the heavy bodied qualities are not ^bundant, in fact the 1904 crop seems to have produced very little of such Jgoods which are fit for mixing pur- : poses by the factories in the United States. Partido leaf, which is acceptable, |is still inquired for, and the holdings are being reduced more and more. J Remedios tobacco remains in active demand, and the reports circulated by buyers that the 1904 crop had been condemned by the judges in the North is not believed here. Perhaps some I ESTABLISHED 1844 I I , vegas were shipped North which were I unsuitable for the United Slates market, and ought not to have been shipped, but to judge the whole crop by a few unsatis- I factory parcels is manifestly wrong. I There is a variety of qualities in the 1 1904 growth, the same as every year, i but there is as fine a class of heavy-bodied i styles, which cannot be excelled by any I previous year's crop. The only trouble lis that there is not enough of it, and I prices are very high owing to its scarcity. World.] Havana, December 12, 1904. Sales foot up to a total of 10,733 hales, con- sisting of 5,968 of Vuelta Abajo, 1,165 of Partido, and 3,600 bales of Remedios. The American buyers have supplied themselves with 6,498 bales, for Europe 1,075 were traded in, and the local cigar and cigarette factories took 3, 160 bales for their wants. Buyers Come and Go. Arrivals— Otto Sartorius, of Sartorius & Co., and Louis Cantor, of Leonard Friedman & Co., New York; Leopold Loeb, of Leopold Loeb & Co. , President of the Loeb Nunez Havana Co., Phila- delphia and H ivana, and Arturo Loeb, of Leopold Loeb & Co., Philadelphia; Chailes Landau, of Charles Landau, and ^L Hoebrecher, of Hoebrecher & Co., Montreal, Canada. Departures — Antonio Rico and Wm. J. Hazlewood, tor Tampa; P. J. Carcaba, St Augustine, Fla. ; J. Knecht, Cincin- nati; Henry Voneiff, Baltimore; Aleck Blumenstiel, San Juan, Porto Rico; John Hart, and Wm.Holman, St. Paul, Minn. ; Ernest Ellinger, New York. Havana Ci|ar Nanuf&.c(urers are in the majority fairly busy still, excepting the smaller ones, who tem- porarily seem to be less favored with orders, as usual at this season of the year. Great Britain is ordering good quantities for future delivery. The United Slates is also asking for the regular goods which are selling through- out the year, and even Germany, after a temporary calm, has begun to call for shipments again by cable, therefore the cigars of the 1904 crop must have given satisfaction. Other countries, like Aus- tralia, Canada and South America, have not stopped sending orders to the differ- ent factories. N. Upmann & Co. exported 650,000 cigars last week. Cifuenles, Fernandez & Co. — Don Ramon Cifuentes, the senior partner of the Partagas factory, arrived here eight days ago from Spain, and brought good orders along. Rabel, Costa, Vales & Co. are as busy as always in their Ramon Allones and Cruz Roja factory. The cigarette. La Eminencia, made by J. Vales & Co., defies competition. Behrens & Co. can not complain, as there is no falling oflf in the Sol factory; on the contrary, everybody is active at his post. J. F.

United States Representative, C B. TAYLOR, No. 93 Broad Street, New York. Bruno Diaz R, Rodriguex Things will be Quiet Until the New Year is Well Started. Lancaster, Pa., Dec 19, The leaf market during the past week was expectedly quiet, but not really dull, several small packings of 1903 goods having changed hands, which ran the volume of business up to fairiy good pro- portions. Buying of the new crop has not en- tirely ceased, but is going on slowly, and no further revival is expected until after the holidays. The cigar industry continues fairly prosperous, although there is a possibility of a slightly lower output for 1904 than was shown in 1903. Quite a few members of the cigar or tobacco trade have been drawn for jury duty, during the January term of court Upon looking over the list of :hose drawn, I observe the names of H. H. Miller, leaf dealer, of Lancaster, and M, C. Greybill, of West Earl, cigar manu- facturer. for the grand jury which will convene on Monday, January 16, 1905. Among the petit jurors drawn were Chas. J. Garman, cigar manufacturer, Ephrata; J. C. Obetz, cigar manufacturer, Man- heim; and H. H. Reimer, cigar box manufacturer at Adamstown. J. W. Brenneman, a well known local leaf packer and dealer, has purchased the large warehouse at 630 and 632 Prince street, and is expecting to occupy it for his own use. E. M. Cohen, now at North Prince and North James streets, is preparing to remove to his old time warehouse on East Chestnut street near Duke street Several members of the local trade were visitors to the Tobacco Show, held in Philadelphia last week. Among them was M. G. Evans representing B. F. Newswanger, maker of the Senator (^uay Sc cigars. ^ M. C. Zeigler, cigar manufacturer of this city, has gone into bankruptcy, with liabilities of I3. 534-94 and assets of ^42- A trustee will have to be appointed to take care of the assets and to see to it that all creditors get their pro rata share of the distribution. I have not yet had time to figure out what percentage of the indebtedness the I42 will amount to. L. E. Ryder, of this city, has pur- chased the hotel property at Disston, and proposes tP erect a large cigar factory there. B. DlRZ^St CO.

The news of the convention published I The Tobacco World last week, con- fined a mention of some of the exhibits, .d the statement, which is here repeated, at every exhibit was very attractive .d helped out the general happy effect. Commencing at the left hand entrance. ,e first outer booth was that of the Day ..d Night Tobacco Co., of Cincinnati, rhich was personally arranged by Walter Friedlander. head of the firm, and was , charge all the week, of D. Kin Stealey, ,ie eastern representative. This display jonsisted of an attractive showing of the >bacco manufactured by the firm, which ,as brightened by a number of the ad- ertising pictures which this Company cts out and which decidedly hit the ale eye.

McHenry. lerea number of that company's well nown brands were alluringly arranged tnd drew much favorable notice. A booth particularly attractive to a lover of good cigars, was the Eden ex- libit, of Cahxto Lopez & Co.. of Havana. ^n which were a number of high grade .rands that looked very tempting. The next booth, which ended the ex- 'hibit on that side, was that of Pent Bros. , J which was in charge of August Geifel and A. R. Ross, and which presented the well known cigar brands. Tahoma. Duke de Oro and Asphodel, to the gaze of con- sumers in a way that proved irresistible Ito many. Directly opposite, and constituting the rst of the next row, was the exhibit of he R. A.

Lipschutz, of Phila- delphia, ended this row with a well arranged showing of the "44" and other brands, and this display pleased crowds greatly on account of the mechanical doll which was a part, of it. The display was in charge of Charles A. Goheen, Frank Stanton. M. A. Funk and I. Sager. The display of Otto Eisenlohr & Bros.' Cinco was opposite, beginning another row, and as was stated last week, was one of the handsomest exhibits in the build- ing. The Henrietta.

This was in charge of R E. Powell. A complete display of Porto Rican cigars was made by the Cayey-Caguas Tobacco Company, in the next booth, which proved a revelation to many con- sumers who were not familiar with the higher grades of Porto Rican goods. The cigars were taken fiom the stock in New York and the ornaments, water bottles, baskets, etc.. were brought direct from Porto Rico. F. R. Hoisington had charge, assisted by H. L.

TWO FACTOMES FOR NEW ORLEANS. J.M.MITTLEMAN Dealer in Leaf Tobacco No. 1619 South Street PHILADELPHIA Goods Sold in Any Quantity, Open Evenings Until Nine o'clock %»»%»»^<^^^^^^% Prominent OfficiaLl Also Predicts Big Southern Run on Porto Rico. President C S. Foster, of the Louisiana Tobacco Co., declares that tvo more large cigar factories will shortly be estab lished in New Orleans owing to the growing importance of that city as a cigar manufacturing site. Mr. Foster also believes that Porto Rican goods have a certain future. In an interview he said: "We are pushing Porto Rico goods well to the front, and this cigar is rapidly growing in favor throughout the South. We don't have to pay duty on cigars from that island, and there is every busi- ness reason for pushing them. More- over, the fl ivor of the Poi to Rico plant is such that the palate of the smoker takes readily to it. I have heard that some of the Porto Rican cigar factories are complaining of poor business, but I know of one factory there in which a large amount of New Orleans capital is interested that is making splendid head- way." ^^^^^^^ KILLHEFFER R.ETVRNS FROM THE WEST. I A. D. Killheffer, proprietor of the! Eureka Cigar factory at Millersville, Pa., j hat recently returned from • short but successful business trip through the Mid- dle West, and sUtes that his Rexmond brand of nickel goods has been placed with the Phoenir Cigar Co., of Cleve- land, O., who will be the local distrib- utors of this product in that section. Regarding the recent box-stutTmg case in Philadelphia, when it was discovered that the cigars substituted for locally- made $15 goods, were from Mr. Killhef- fer's factory, Mr. Killheffer has continued to conduct a very careful investigation with a view to ascertaining how the goods could have been supplied to the dealer accused of substituting. After examination of all his records he finds himself in a position to say that no goods were ever sold direct to this party from his factory.but that the factory is making several brands similar in shape, size and appearance to several of the more popu- lar local-made goods, but which he claims are not offered as imitations, but strictly on their own merits, and desires that the trade shall be properly and ac- curately informed regarding this matter. —The C. F. Britain Tobacco Works will build a two-story addition to their factory at Columbia. S. C, and install machinery for increased capacity. The new building will be 80 by 30 feet and will cost lio.oco. W. E. KRAFT MANUFACTURER Havana and Seed Cigars East Prospect, Pa.

The big leaf houies here report fair business, though it is not a good time of the year, just before the holidays, to do a rushing business. The quality of leaf shipping is giving first class satisfaction, according to a Broadway merchant, and supplies are adequate in this vicinity, to fill all demands upon the merchants. Asked as to how business stacked up this year as compared with 1903, he said; "Of course I will only attempt to speak of our business, as I do not know the situation generally among the other leaf men. Our year has been entirely satisfactory. We have handled a great many thousand cases of leaf of various kinds and grades, and I might say that our profits for doing business were fair, as we will not conduct our business with- out a necessary profit I have never be- lieved in price cutting to obtain orders, no matter how large they are, or from the 'best people* in the world. We know what it costs to place our leaf on the market, and if we cannot get this price from one concern, we will pass them up and look to another prospective buyer. We have no complaint of those wanting to do business for nothing. That's their business. It might be better for all con- cerned if there was more attention paid to market conditions, and an effort made to get fair prices for goods, but some of the dealers or wholesalers will not get to this point "As for the future, I do not take much stock in the report that the beet sugar industry will drive out the tobacco- growing industry in this State. Some of the farmers who put in a small patch and who want twice the market price for their leaf may be complaining, but this crop of rumors is annual, and little attention is paid to them. The larger growers will continue to plant heavily, and next year will see an average crop.

Anent the recent action of the In- ternal Revenue officials concerning cer- tain loose methods which had apparently been employed by Manufacturers ot this county, and which were fully and clearly reported by me in a previous issue, 1 can add that the measures recently taken have aroused the action of many local manufacturers to a point of vigorous pro- test aj;ainst the rulings whatever the availibility may prove to be. Recently several special meetings of manufacturers m the vicinity of Red Lion and other places were held and some lengthy discussions took place regarding the stripping of tobacco outside a bonded factory, and adopted resolutions urging Congressman Lafean to bring the matter to the attention of the Internal Revenue Commissioner at W^ashington. Samuel A. Stump, formerly a cigar manufacturer, of Red Lion, was taken into custody last week, at Columbus, O., by local detectives. Stump disappeared from his home in Red Lion, in June last, and nothing was heard of him from that time until he was finally captured by detectives as stated above. He is charged with conniving at the forgery and utter- ance of two notes for I300 each, pur- ported to have been endorsed by Titus m THE TOBACCO WORLD L. A.

The York City Cigar Company, a branch of the United Cigar Manufac- turers, of New York city, has acquired land upon which they propose soon to erect a new factory building large enough to employ from 800 to 1,000 hands. The piece of pround, 85 feet on North Penn street and extending 250 feet in depth between the Western Maryland railroad and Smyser street, has been purchased from A. B. Farquhar. On this tract of land a modern four story brick building 141 by 173 feet in dimensions will be ready for use by next May. Dr. Jas. Dale is erecting a new build- ing on Gas Alley near Court avenue, which when completed will be occupied by Michael Myers, now on Philadelphia) street, as a cigar factory. Mr. Myers is hopeful of being able to soon employ a | force of about thirty hands. The new | building is a two story brick structure 161 by 65 feet. L. L.

Nanette Visits Tobacco Show and Writes Her Experiences. I went to the Tobacco Show with that feeling of guilty anticipation one has before starting on a slumming expedition. Naturally, I figured that 1 would be the only woman there, but as Hob was with me, I decided to be game to the finish. "Tobacco," 1 calculated, "being a commodity e.xclusively for men, only the sterner sex will be in evidence." Fiom the time we entered the ou'.er door I felt guilty, and told Hob so. but he poked fun and dared me to back down. That settled it! Going up the stairway 1 inwardly braced myrelf for the sensation I knew my appearance would create. Then I woke up. The exhibition hall was jammed, and of all the pushing, crowding mass of humanity, fully one-fifth were women, and mostly pretty girls at that. I don't attempt to explain what took them there. Perhaps it was the tobacco display; or it may have been the many amusements in addition to the displays. Hob volunteered that it might be because it was a foregone conclusion that there would be lots of men on hand. At any rate, whatever they came for, the women certainly seemed to get more fun out of the show than the men. They pushed and pulled their way through crowds and made as many genuine foot- ball rushes for samples as ever came off at a food show. There were pretty picture cards, cigar- ettes and samples of chewing tobacco, and the girls took everything that came along. It certamly did look funny to see dignified old ladies struggling for a pinch of snufT or a small plug of chewing tobacco. One firm gave away chances on a gold watch, while another gave ever>body an opportunity to win a box of cigars free of charge, and the vicinity of their booths duiing the rushes would mike a Jap. Russo battlefield look very cheap so fir as a real scrimmage is concerned. Around one booth there was an awful crowd of men clamoring for advertising picture cards. Bub and I pushed thiough and got them, but before 1 had a chance to take a good look at mine, I knew by the expression on Hobs face as well .is the broad smiles of all the men about, that perhaps it wouldn't be well to look at the pi. ture at that time. I pretended to throw it away, but slyly slipped it int.. my muff. And then I had to go and lose it on the way home, and I've been trying to get up nerve ever since to ask Hob what was on the card. It must have been something a little bad, or the men wouldn't have been so anxious to get them. The decorations were imply lovely. You wouldn't imagine that so exclusively a man's commodity as tobaccn uld be presented so artistically. Tin, e were lovely electric displays, to be sue, but it was the tobacco itself that m ide the show attractive. One firm had smoking tobacco in sweet little tin boxes, nnd my heart just ached for one of them for a pin-tray. Theie was an awfully stunning Gypsy- looking girl at a Turkish cigarette booth, and if the crowd of men theie asking ijuestions is an indication, that cig.iretie will be a big seller. Then theie was an orchestra it the upper end of the hall, behind !o i.ige, and I didn't understand why so many men gathered there until 1 peeped through some palms and discovered the musicians to be more pretty girls. Signs displayed gave warning that no smoking would be permitted, but nobody seemed to take any notice. Still, I sup- pose it was only tight that the air should be thick with smoke at a tobacco show, and so didn't complain. I attended a solemn meeting ct the \V. C. T. l^ week before last, and heard all about the evils of tobacco. Well, those ladies were sincere enough. I'll admit, but if they could have visite-i the show in a body and mixed up in the mirth and life there, I think they wujld have altered their opinions. Among other things, 1 got one s.i:: pie package of cigarettes that I'll coTifes^ I didn't turn over to Hob. I used to I'lii'k any woman who smoked cigarettes was beyond the pale, but since the -low 1—1 — well I don't quite know. I n\ going to wait until mamma goes ut someday, and then I'm g<'ing t' i^nd out exactly what it is men like so m ith about smoking. N.XNEiii <^%%^»%% GKEENEVILLE BOAKD OF TKAPt ELECTS OFFICEKS.

OLD HICKO VIRWDAREStWAXHAW mm Leaf Tobacco Markets. CONNECTICUT VALLEY Another week of cold, windy weather, hardly a day when it has thawed on the south side of the building. That does not look very favorable for the farmers to get their tobacco down and into the bundles ready to be delivered to the buying packers, or to show them if they should happen around, although 1 have heard of some sales recently. But the most of it is to be delivered in the cases, probably in the neighborhood of loo acres in all. Our correspondents writes: Bridstreet, Mass.: "Edgar H. P'ield has sold and delivered his crop of 1904 in bundle at private terms. finnotus Morton & Son have sold their crop of 1904, partly in cases and the rest in bundle, to Meyer & Mendlesohn at pri- vate terms, at about 20 acres; both the above lots to the same parties. F. P. Jones & Co., sold about 20 acres 1904 crop to be cased to Meyer & Mendle- sohn at private terms. F, VV. Field & Son delivered their crop of 1904 in bundle to John Decker, of South Deer- field, Mass., today. This crop was re- ported sold some weeks ago about 18 or or 20 acres, at about 1 9 cents in bundle. * * Northfield, Mass.: "Not much is do- ing in tobacco. All of the crop of 1904 lies in the bundle. No buyers have been around. The few lots raised in town are of good quality. There is one crop of 1903 unsold in town." Conway, Mass. : " The warm weather of Wednesday last enabled us to get down more tobacco, so that some of the growers need but one more damp to finish their crop. It was rather a risky time to take down tobacco, it drip ped so much in the early part of the day. I hear of one buyer being in town, but he offered so low a price that he didnt buy any. It begins to look as though it would be the same as last year, the later they come the less they pay." Sufifield, Ct.: "The warm rain of Tuesday softened the tobacco so that some was taken down. In seme barns the stalks which had fro^en thawed out and began to drip, and the farmers did not dare to risk taking down too much owmg to the liability of the tobacco to rot m that condition. We are hoping for another damp spell soon.---Amer. Cultivator. EDGERTON, WIS. What has taken place in the market regarding the new crop during the week could be told in a very few words, /.eio weather has arrived with the tobaccc still hanging dry in the curing sheds and no immediate prospect for either stripi^ing or warehouse handling in sight. The movement in old leaf, however, is a diflferent proposition, and remnants in growers' hands of stock of any year's growth find a ready sale, when protits to the producer are not considered. An export and stogy demand is takin,^ the cheaper grades as fast as dealers ^.aher them in, so that quick sales and moder- ate profits are helping along considerable trading. J. M. Estes sold 2505 of 02 at loc; O. E. Gulseth 41CS at 7Sc2C. Much of the '03 leaf in bundles is bnng lifted at about former filler prices. Among packers a fairly active trade is reported. We learn a deal of some magnitude is under way, but particulars are not yet obtainable. Shipments, 500CS. — Reporter. CLARKSVILLE, TENN. M. H. Clark & IJro. Our receipts this week were }} hhds, offerings on the breaks 99 hhds, s 1 es 83 hhds. There was no improvement in quality of the breaks; the market firm and unchanged at the late adva in prices, holders rejecting on any attei: ; at ease. Planters continue to hold meeting, receive reports of their committees, a: the large majority of the crop is bcir tied up hard and fast, buyers havi retired from the country, and no el! • are being made to open the loose toli;a market, which at this period is usually 1 full blast. As the proportion of lugs in the; crop is much smaller than usual, and nearly exhausted in the old stocks, advance in values may be expected.

The internal revenue authorities in Wisconsin are after the farmers in that State for alleged retailing to consumers. Repoits have been made to the depart- ment that quite a number of growers has issued a circular as coming from the Internal Revenue Collector addressed, "To All Who Are Interested." It is as follows: It has been frequently reported that farmers and growers of tobacco manipulate their leaf tobacco by machine or otherwise and sell the same to the consumers for smoking or chewing tobacco. This practice is a direct violation of the Internal Revenue law and is covered by a severe penalty. A farmer or grower of tobacco is privileged only to sell his original product. I am issuing this circular m order that farmers and growers may know the law and avoid getting them- selves into trouble. It is to be clearly understood that the farmer or grower of tobacco is not privileged to stem, roll, twist, plate, or otherwise change the to- bacco, inasmuch as either one of the methods would make him a manufacturer of tobacco. I am instructed by the Internal Revenue Collector to report all evasions of this law for prosecuUon. It is stated that should this fail of effect, the department will at once go after th fashion.

'pHE TOBACCO WORLDS Milwan- kee correspondent sends the fol lowing timely matter, which is bonnd to be interesting and useful to the wise retailer: The windows of the local retail cigar stores are attractirely decorated for the holidays, and the>- size up well with the windows of other kinds of stores, which are decorated for the children and the women. One doesn't usually think of it that way, but a man is just as f>ar- ticular to have things fixed up attractively for himself as a woman for herself. It a noticeable that four out of five men, when they enter a well decorated store, will look around and remark about any new "fixings." This fact was called to my attention by a leading wholesaler and retailer of this city, who has been in the cigar and tobacco business for twenty years. He attributes his continued success and increasing business to carefully regarding the wants of the men and boys who fre- quent his place of business. When Christmas time comes around, he gets the nicest wreath?, trims his show win- dows with the best he has in stock, gets after the new ideas in decorating, gets a good card writer to fix up some signs, and he suys around the store himself. Moreover, the man does not depend on his clerks to do the decorating, bat thinks it is better done by himself, ••I have Uken a good many tips about fixing up the store, and particularly the windows, from suggestions in The Tobacco World,'* said a progressive retailer. It certainly speaks well for a paper which is continually looking after the best interests cf the trade. I think every man who has anything to do with the tobaaco industry — Icat, manufacture, cigars, chewing, supplies, etc— should subscribe for a good, live trade paper. I have been reading The Tobacco World for several years, and have noticed a woncferful improvement in it within the past few months. The field is exceed- ingly well covered. • • • DEVICE FOR KENOVING CIGAR. BANDS. TT has not been a very great while since the man who selected his cigar from a box in which every one has a rich looking little bard around it, was careful to keep the band on while he smoked the cigar, and would even slip it down toward his mouth as the cigar smoked up. This was done because the band denoted quality, but this marking soon became so extensive that many men began to tear it off before they lit up, itgetting to be the impression that leaving it on made, a man look too much like a cheap spor. In fact, the only way in which this form of marking serves now is as a means of identification, which has often had the object of presenting substitution of inferior gosds. The use of the band has become so general that there seems to be a demand for some means of readily removing the same. One might think that this was a maner of no difficulty, but i: is a well- known fact to cigar smokers that most bands are placed on cigars so tightly readily severed, without marring the cigar wrapf>er in the least This severing device may be placed under the band after the band is put upon the cigar, or it may oe put on the cigar at the time that the wrapper is placed thereoiu • • • HEUE'S A GOOD SCHEME. nPHERE is a man out in Illinois who recently decided to go out of the cigar business, and not finding a buyer outright, was compelled to sell his stock. Wishing to avoid the usual necessity of having to close out his stock by auction LXHIBIT OF " aNCO " AT THE TOBACCO SHOW. MONEY ON STORE APPOINTMtNTS A GOOD INVESTMENT. 'pHERE is a certain store in Philadel.1 phia which, the writer believes, does its good business because of the feeling of luxury which the esubl.^hment imparts to eren the casual cuMomer. The place is situated in a section of the city which is not noted for luxurious looking stores, and, accordingly, the effect is all the greater. Naturally, it cost a good little sum of money to fit the store up. but the dealer declares he has got it back many times - over, and considers it the best invest- ment he ever made. First, the establishment, without being either gaudy or strikingly rich, presents an appearance which draws to it every customer in sight, half the time whether he needs anything or not Once inside he looks around in mani- fest approval, and, unconsciously influ. enced by the environment, not infre. quently spends more money than he had intended. It is that indefinable luxury- imparting feeling that it gives to the customer. If he is well dressed he swaggers around the store with an air of perfect familiarity with swell surroundings that he has to make good in his purchases. Some men. when they get their good clothes on, frequent the lobbies oi the big hotels and stand prosperously ar und until it is time to wake up, hv.^^ely enjoying themselves. Men of this sort form no inconsiderable class, and as they regulate all their movements on the same line of purpi.se, the cigar store that gets their custoin is the one which has the desired atmos- phere. Neither does it require a snob !o appreciate an unusual amount of teni. poMl comfort which may be obta ed even in the two minutes occupies n making a purchase. And when n agree.ible proprietor or intelligent c;c:ic succeeds in making each customer t-^ 1 th.it the establishment is beii ji t . largely for that particular cusi nuet convenience, there is going to be lots • i business done. • • • Your Cask Absolutely Guarded IF Y0U USE A "NATIONAL" A Multiple-Drawer National Cash Register protects proprietor, customer and clerk alike. It keeps an accurate printed record of your cash sales, your credit sales, money paid out, money received on account, and indicates when change is made.

In attempting to remove the band with the finger nail or with the point of a knife it frequently happens that the wrapper of the cigar is so punctured or torn as to injure the smoking quality of the cigar, if not to entirely destroy it. To facilitate the removal of the band an inventor has conceived the idea of making use of a thread, string or cord under the band, having the er.d^ thereof projecting be>ond the edge? of the band, brought together and tied into a knot, forming a loop. This loop can be readily taken hold of by the thumb and finger, and by pulling , n it the band wUl be at a big sacrifice, he adopted a scheme which proved by its results to be m.t the thing. He made announcement that, begin- ning on a certain mornin,-, h.s stock would be sold in combination packages at 25 cents a package. He then made up the packages, putting in each one a combination, the face value of which was a httle more than the 25 cents. Kach man paid h.s quarter and selected a package. The scheme worked in great shape. and the dealer realised much more on h's stxk than would otherwise have been the case.

Those Who Delayed Buying for Lower Prices Will be Disappointed. [Special Correspondence of The Tobacco Notwithstanding the fact that business sually slackens up during the latter half if December, a good many transactions avc been concluded in the Havana arket during the past week, as will eadily be seen by the number of bales eported as sold later on. All kinds of leaf, from Vuelta Abajo ind Partido factory vegas to the heavy Istyles of quality in Vuelta Abajo. as well |as Remedios, first and second capaduras, were traded in, and prices closed very firm for all good vegas. Future buyers will have to rely entirely upon the holdings -of our dealers, as the stocks still held by farmers in the coun- try are exhausted in-^he Santa Clara province, while thercis very little held in the Partido section. In the hilly dis- tricts of the Vuelta Abajo a limited quan- tity might still be procured, but that that same cannot be of the best, stands to reason, as otherwise the dealers would have tak^n hold of them long ago. It seems to be the universal opinion that many buyers from the North have delayed making their usual trips to this island in the hope of eventually securing the classes which they are looking for at lower prices, but it seems that they will be disappointed in this respect if they want to purchase only fine goods. Th« advantage in their favor is that there may be less shrinkage in weight, but on the other hand the prices for the same igoods are higher than they could have been purchased for a couple of months ago. The choice leaf still unsold will not be parted with by the holders below their asking prices, but if a buyer is less par- ticular as to the cleanliness of a vega, or as to the quality, prices can be made to suit him, and of such goods there is enough yet to be had in the market Sales amounted to 8,220 bales in all, or 5.194 of Vuelta Abajo, 8ii of Partido, and 2,215 of Remedios. American buyers, including such houses as are established here and in the North, have purchased 6,202 bales, while for Europe 500 were taken out of the market, and the local cigar and cigarette factories, supplied themselves with 1.5 18 bales.

Havana Cigar Manufacturers are not quite as busy as they have been, but everybody seems to think that there will be good business again after the turn of the year. The new import stamp of the United States evidently is not appreciated by the importers of Havana cigars in the ^orth, as the American Government has - placed a great temptation in the hands of dishon- est retailers, who can readily dispose of a box of imported cigars until empty and then place the ridiculously small import stamp upon a box of domestic cigars and thus palm off such goods upon the unsuspecting public as genuine im- ported cigars. The union of manufacturers upon this island is hurrying matters to have the only protection left to them, by issuing the Cuban protective export stamp as quickly as possible. Besides, it is to become a custom that each factory will ship only cigars with rings to the United States in future, as an additional guaran- tee to the smokers. The proposed reduction to 25 percent of the Dingley rates upon all Philippine tobacco and cigars is watched here with great interest, and if Congress should make this sweeping reduction a law. it might indeed be a hard blow to the manufacturers of the cheap domestic cigars and the farmers in the United States. Cuba can not be affected by this measure, as Havana tobacco admits of no competition in the world, owing to nature's special bounty in having created a special soil and climate that is found nowhere else upon this planet The only two future solutions for the United States in order to produce the choicest cigars in larger quantities and at a more reasonable cost to th« maker, is either to abolish all duties upon Cuban leaf and | H.

All experimenting to raise obacco in the present United States, qual to the product of the V'uelta Abajo, r even Partido and Remedios, has roved to be a failure and a costly busi- ess to the taxpayers.

The Cuban Land and Leaf Tobacco Co. purchased 1,500 bales of leaf last week. Muniz Hnos. & Co. made one sweep- ing sale of their Montezuelo holdings, amounting to 1,205 bales. Harry Erlich and O. J. Janover secured about 1, 200 bales of choice Vuelta Abajo and Partido vegas for the Erlich Mfg. Co., as well as for the Teodore Perez Co , of Key West. Jose F. Rocha sold 500 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Emii Wedeles,who left for Florida last Saturday, had purchased fully 800 bales of very fine Vuelta Abajo vegas, and in order to get them paid full prices. Loeb-Nunez Havana Co. disposed of 436 bales of Vuelta Abajo. Partido and Remedios from their large stock on hand. C. Dankowitz was a buyer of 700 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido. Manuel Garcia Pulido closed 351 bales of his fine Remates vegas. Leslie Pantin was a large buyer for his customers during the past week. Suarez Hnos. reduced their holdings by 300 bales, but continue to reserve some fine vegas for their later customers. Garcia & Co. have done some good business, and while Don Manuel remains unwilling to say anything for publication, well informed parties say that they must have turned over more than 1,000 bales. Mark A. Pollack was hustling in the market, and could be seen registering tobacco in many places. Gon/alez, Benitez & Co. sold 250 bales ot Remedios and Vuelta Ab.ijo. Jose Cayro e Hijo shipped 250 bales of Partido to their customers. Grau, Planas & Co. disposed of 250 bales of Remedios. Sobrinos de A. Gonzalez do not report any sales during the past eight days, but after the big business done by this house, a quieter spell is in order. In the mean* time, Don Antero keeps his weather eye open watching the situation of the mar- ket and preparing for an active month to come, as they have some good tobacco left yet. Aixala & Co. were sellers to the extent of 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo. William Hecht has made some good ' purchases for his Chicago house. Jose Menendez sold 172 bales of Vuelta Abajo. G.

Director Shoyer, of the Department of Supplies for Philadelphia, has awarded contracts for tobacco to be supplied to the House of Coriection and to the Philadelphia Hospital. The city spends about $4,000 annually for this article, which is supplied to the inmates of those institutions. The bids were opened two weeks ago, and the bidders on sample tobacco for the House of Correction were: Alfred Lowry & Bros., of Philadelphia, 27.25 cents per pound, and Kirk, Foster & Co., of Philadelphia, 27.33 cents per pound; and for the Philadelphia Hospital, for navy tobacco, Kirk, Foster & Co., 1^% cents per pound, and Alfred Lowry & Bros., i\%, cents per pound; and for sample tobacco. United News Co. (John Wanamaker), 25 cents per pound; Kirk, Foster & Co., 32;^ cents per pound, and Alfred Lowry & Bros., 32)^ cents per pound. The awards in each case were to the lowest bidder, and where they bid even the order was divided. With MaLi\ufaLCturers and Jobbers. i»«rt. Mr. K Nanuffftcturers Preparing for Coming Year Philadelphia manufacturers spent the week winding up the year's business and while some of the factories were kept vvork- ing on regular orders, things as a rule were very quiet. With practically three d.iys of holiday out of the week there was very little attempt to do business, every one being satisfied to wait until the new year was fairly started. The work of taking stock is being completed this week, and with this in- ventory and closing of the books the general opinion is that the year has by no means been a bad one. The sudden spurt in the retail trade brought to many factories batches of hurry duplicate or ders which were not in every case filled. The getting out of holiday packages is considered by most manufacturers merely as a necessary evil which yields very little if any profit, and to be called on suddenly to put out twice as much as usual of this line 01 goods is an unwelcome strain on any factory. By the middle of January business will be swimming along in good shape again, and the majority of manufacturers be lieve that the coming year will be an eminently satisfactory one. Cr&btree Receivership Security $2,000. Judge McMichael, in Court No. 3 yesterday fixed the security to be entered by the receiver of the Crabtiee Tobacco Co. at $2,000. A motion was made to have the receivership set aside, on the ground that the company is not insolvent. The application, however, was fruitless, and the case will take its regular place on the equity list. Criminal proceedings are also pending between the president and the secretary of the company, who have been at loggerheads over the man- agement of the business for some time. A. S. Valentine & Son report a very gratifying year with everything bright in the piospect line. Dempsey & Koch, o f Second and Race streets, are still carrying a large western business, their brands having apparently caught that market just about right. The El Draco Manufacturing Co. is having very gratifying returns from its Governor Higgins new brand which was recently put on the market. Manager Comber says that every thing looks as if the brand was going to catch on very well in New York. Bayuk Bros, will probably be comfor tably installed in their new quarters on North Third street in a few days where the firm will have much more room for its plant. There will no longer be a re- tail department. Z. J. Norris the affable local repre- sentative of I. Lewis & Co., and the Thomas Allen Tobacco Co., is now established in his new quarters at 1 11 Market street where he keeps the usual hours. The ofifice is on the second floor front. T. H. Hart&Co.,of 30 South Seventh street, have been appointed local dis- tributing agents for the Cayey-Caguas Co. , of New York and Porto Rico, partic- ularly on that company's many sizes of Amorife. W.

Sbcor, SpeciaL Hirschber^ 41 Bro. in New Quarters. Julius Hirschberg & Bro., importers and dealers in leaf tobacco, on North Third street, are at last situated in their new quarters in the Moore building, and are delighted with the establishment The place is ideal in every respect for a leal business, and at once excites the congratulations and good natured envy of the many callers among the trade who stopped in to look the place over. The Third street entrance opens directly upon the offices of the firm, which are complete, handsome and at the same time cosy — so cosy that a caller hates to leave. At the rear of these and extending to the back of the building and out at the side to Branch street are the warerooms, which are already well stocked. This portion of the building is in duplicate in the base- ment, which is cemented. The establishment is modern through- out. The ceiling is covered by auto- matic sprinkling pipes, which in case of fire will tlood the place with water. The offices and warerooms are steam heated and lighted by gas and electricity, and there aie many other conveniences for doing business on up-to-date lines. rhe leaf business is over tor the year, and the dealers dont expect anything now until January is well advanced. There is fair inquiry for this time of year, but whatever is bought is for future de- livery. Of course it is impossible to speak with authority, but it is the general F. C. LINDE, HAMILTON ®. CO.

UNITED CIGAR Manufacturers 1014-1020 Second Ave., NEW YORK, "B»" After slumping along for weeks until all the dealers were so disgusted that many of them bought light for Christ- mas, trade look on a sudden impetus last week and stiyed so good that many ret lileis claim the best Christmas since they have been in business. These fits and jerks in the market don't seem to be easily explained, but theie is now a concensus of opinion that things ought to stay good. The only un- fortunate feature of it is that the spurt came too late for some of the dealers, some of whom, figuring on a slow Christ- mas trade, gave very small orders to their manufacturers. When the rush came they immediately placed additional (.r- ders but in many cases could not get them filled. One dealer said yesterday that he had the best Christmas since he had been in the business. "I came near getting caught, though," he said. "I hesitated for a long while about my holiday orders because it certainly seemed as it there would be very little doing. Finally I decided Fd take a chance, and Fni only sorry that I didn't make mv order's heavier. The last p irt of the week was especi.iUy good and Saturday was a tre- mendous day. " Credit to be Called In. A well known local jobber said yes- terday that a number" of jobbers hail decided to do much less business on a credit basis in future on account of the close prices under which the jobbers claim they can at best bately live. A number of m,kiI1 dealers are enabled to do business largely by the extension of ong time payments, and the jobbers have decided, it is said, that in order to protect themselves while present prices ol.tain, they must make a change in their business methods. There is said to be a considerable number of dealers who are doing busi- ness on credit, and if the jobbers were to close up their books immediatelv there W, C.

I • :/ / 44 At THE TOBACCO WORLD il II KWTf LIBERMAN'S IrLQitest Suction Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers. Palm Rolling Essential to Hand-Work. 'pHIS IS THE SIMPLEST AND MOST PRACriCAL TOOL yet introdticed in connection with Cigar- X making. The catting rollers are so equipped with ball bearings and exterior' springs that they only produce enough pressure to cut the leaf. thu. maintaining a sharp edge on the die and.'assuring a perfect, clean cut superior to hand-work. The circumference of the cutting roller being greater than the length of the die makes tearing or streaking of the wrapper impossible Then, after the leaf has been cut, a slight depression with the right foot pedal will lower the die even with the table, thus making a perfectly smooth and rigid surface, enabling the operator to Roll wllh the Full Palm of the Hand, instead of pushing the cigar along with the finger tips. i- e. s Changing of the die to any shape, or from right to left, or the reverse, is a very simple matter on this table, and can be done within two minutes time. These points of merit, coupled with others not mentioned, have won for this table the high standard of excellence maintained to day, a fact that cannot conscientiously be claimed by any of our competitors.
