success is never achieved without
merit. A man may make poor article
and sell it once, and there being 40,0O0,-
900 of people in the United States, the
sale to each one would make decent for
tune. But an article that holds the field
year after year, and the sales of which in
crease regularly and rapidly, must have
absolute merit.

Bold Attempt AT Robbery and Mur.
der.

SAN FRANCIscc, December 3.-There
was bold attempt at robbery and murder
at the Palace Hotel this afternoon. A
young man calling himself S. II. Har-
rington, requested Hopkins & Haley,
money brokers, to send $3.50 in green
backs to his room at the Palace Hotel,
for exchange. The firm sent boy with
the money. accompanied by officers,
suspicious being excited. The officers
waited outside. The boy went in and while
counting the money was attacked by
Harrington with n hatchct. The officers
rushed III and arrested him. Harrington
had previously unsuccesstully attempted
TO lure Michael Rees to his room on the
prctext of negotiating loan. From en-
tries in his note book, he seems to have
good connections in some portion Of the
west, and was impellcd to the act by Il
desire TO obtain means u return home.

Sales and Prices of Ohio Tobacco for
November.
BALTIMORE, December lst, 1915.

BALTIMORE, December lst, 1915.
Editors of the Register
The total sales Of Ohio Tobacco during
the past month embrace only about $50
hhCs, bought principally by Messrs.
Bros. Boninger for their factory at Duis-
burg, at further decline in prices. AL
though Ohio Tobacco is now nearly two
cents lower than it was twelve months
ago, still our market rules dull and inac-
tive, and buyers show no disposition to
purchase. The stock in agents and spec
ulators hands amounts to about 1000
hhds.. which will probably have to be
carried over to next year.
The Tobacco trade is suffering now
under the general depression existing in
all branches Of business, and there is at
present not the least indication of an I'M
provement in trade, an prices may not
have touched bottom yet.
1t is evident that we cannot look for a
healthy demand next year unless the new
crop is bought at a moderate price in
Ohio. If, however, buyers in Ohio will
be misled by undue excitement to pay
high prices, the consequence will be that
shippers here will be compelled to
abandon the use of this Tobacco to some
extent, and substitute cheaper kinds, and
then we will witness another disastrous
season. As this year, owing to the high
prices asked, Ohio Tobacco has lost many
customers, 1t is of the utmost importance
to the trade that Agents should be en-
abled next year to offer the Tobacco at
figures which will induce all buyers to
take hold of the article.
We again caution our friends not 10
risk orcr $3.50 for good sound average
crops. As the buying of the so-called
fancy crops at higher prices has always an
injurious effect on the business and stlmu-
lates farmers to ask eXtravagant prices,
these crops should not be touched until
the bulk of the crop is bought.
Yours truly,

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, December 3.-In
consequence of the overstockcd condition
of the eastern markets and the Gloss of
navigation the Philadelphia ynd Read
ing Coal and Iron Company will, to.
morrow, direct the stoppage ofthirty Of
their forty cOllcrics in this region. The
remaining ten, having producing ca
pacity of 1000 tons daily, are TO con-
tinuc to supply the furnaces and rail
ways in this vicinity. About 5000 men
and boys are thus thrown out of work.
Twenty five individual collcrics will also
suspend during the week, and it is
thought that by December 10Th the sus-
pension will be general, and over 10000
people be out of employment in Schuyl-
kill region. The suspension may not
last over two months, though fears are
entertained that work will not be resum-
ed until spring The iron trade being
dull, orders have,been issued by the Reda-
ing Coal and Iron Company to stop
work at their various ore mines, where
600 men are now employed. 1t Is claim.
ed that enough has been mined and stock
