SMOKERS Of Havana cigars have re-
Gently been startled by the great sd-
vance in the cost Of their fsvorite luxu.
~ and dealers have been beset with
questions as to the reason for the in-
crease in price. An explanation Of the
matter 10 furnished in a letter by Mr.
SrRArroS, Secretary o! the Ma
,iopal Tobacco association, to
the New York Journal Of
Commerce. Within a few weeks
past the price Of imported cigars has
sdvar ced from $50 to $40 per thous'
and. During the past twenty years
there has been steady advance in the
price OF the best Havana cigars, owing
TO the increased consumption, and as
an illustration of the advance the fact
is mentioned that cigars which were
imported in 1850 at SIG per thousand
were rated on the 30th OF June, 1873,
at $40.
The recent rise in the price Of
Havana cigsre is due in a great
measure to the political disturbances
on the Island OF Cuba and the adoption
OF q gold basis for all Of the transactions
between the merchants there and
and those in the United States. Mr.
SrRATroN's circular says:
1T has not been uncommon lately
for some manufacturers in Havana to
charge certain prices for their cigars ip
currency aud then add a percentage
varying from ten to thirty or forty or
even eighty per cent to cover the flnc-
tuations between gold and currency"
Under these influences Havana CT
CARS have taken a sudden jump in
price and the dealer who had large
stock on hand at the beginning OF the
rise has reason to congratulate himself
on his good fortune.

A Curiosiiy.

Mention was made in these columne'
several days since. ofan immense steer,
nearly six feet in height, and supposed
to weigh about 1000 pounds. The
steer was purchased few days ago by
Messrs. John Morrissey and Charles
Howell, Of this city, and will be exhl6-
eted, previous to being slaughtered,
during the remainder OF this week.
See announcement in another column
The steer weighed 4.O3O pounds, and
Was transferred from the farm Of his
owner, Mr.. D. r. Mcneil, In Hardy

Fatal Accident.

CINCINNATI, February lS.-Two Ger
man laborers in Stattery's stone quarry
at Piqua, Ohio, were instantly killed
yesterday, by bank caving in upon
them.
Boy Stabbed.
During the Msrdi Gras procession
through the German portion Of this city
last nigh, George Oechenbrimer, twelve
years old, was brutally stabbed by az
unknown mssker. The boy was stand
ing on the sidewalk remarkipg upon the
different costumes as the procession
came along. His wounds are pronounce
ed fatal.
Bank Suspension.
The banking house of Harshman q
Harshman, of Dayton. Ohio. suspended
Yesterday. Their average monthly de-
posits were about one hun lred and fifty
thousand dollars.
The Forged Letters.
The governing committee OF the
Stock EXCHANGE will meet at 3 o'clock
this afternoon, when efforts will be
made to discover the perpetrator OF the
bold forgery on yesterday. 1t is un-
derstood that suspicion has been direct
ed towards certain bankers, who are
supposed to have profited largely from
the momentary panic which ensued
upon the publication of the forged let
tiers. Wheelock, against whom
certain intimalions have been made,
gave a personal explanation this
morning. The proprietors were
confident apparently, that the forgeries
would be detected, aud determined to
draw many OF the most experienced
brokers away from the street, and IN
order to do this they prepared series
of letters to the different brokers ask
ing them to meet Commodore Wander
bilt up town upon important business,
signed by the private secretary oil the
Commodore.
Disgracefnl Affair.
A disgraceful affair occurred IN
Fourth street to- day, the parties inter-
ested being A. B. MuIlet, supervising

this city. Kessler was nominated by
the President tor postmaster OF C'n-
cinnati, but for some reason his name
was Withdrawn, and meeting Mullett
on the street to-day, he accused him az
being the cause of it. Mr.. Mullett de,
MED the charge, when Kessler called
him q liar. Mullet resented it by
hitting Kessler in the face vhereupon
Kessler took Mullet by the hair and
jerked him around pretty lively for a
lew moments. The battle ended with
out either showing any signs OF punish
ment.
