THE TOBACCO GROWERS.

The movement of the Kentucky To
baocO Growers Association to get a
warehouse Of their own, to be run in the
interests Of the tobacco-growens of the
State, is exciting a great deal of interest.
This industry, in which Kentucky
ranks first in the world, employs thou
sands Of people and requires the expen-
diture Of millions Of dollars. It is there
fore natural that any movement tend
ing to bring about a revolution in the
business as at present conducted is Of in
terest 70 every business man in this city.
The warehousemen generally charac-
terize the movement among tobacco men
10 secure a warehouse of their own as a
mistake. It Is as necessary in the tobacco
trade, as il is in the grain, cotton and
other trades, 10 have an agent TO get the
material from the hands of the producer
into the hands Of the manufacturer. The
part OF the agent has hitherto been taken
in this city by the warehousemen. The
farmers now propose to build their own
warehouses. and thus become their own
agents. The question is, can they con-
duct this agency business TO better adj
vantage to themselves than the ware
housemen, who have profited by a care
ful business education and years of ex-
perience? Undoubtedly they think
they can.

AFTER CEREO GURpO.

Among the tobacco men down on the
breaks an interesting rumor has been in
circulation for the past week. It was to
the effect that the President Of the Ken
lucky Tobacco Growers Association,
Gen. John :. Williams, was not satisfac-
tory to a majority OF the Directors, and
an effort would soon be made to displace
him and elect the Hon. John d. Harris
President in his stead. This rumor was
circulated with so much persistency that
a Times reporter went down on the
breaks this morning and tried to trace it
10 its source.
He went TO two or three well-kneBn
tobacco men, and finally went down TO
rec Mr.. Robert p. Hare. of the Eclipse
Warehouse. Mr.. Hare admitted that he
had heard Of the scheme, and in talking
10 the reporter he gave ont the informa-
ton that he had received It.
Mr.. Hare said: Il saw Jim Duwees
and said to him that ! supposed he was
hard at work on the farmers warehouse
scheme, and 1 asked him how it was CON-
ing on. He said: We'll, we are getting
on pretty well, but we made a big mistake
at the start asked him how that was.
He said: We never ought TO have put
old Cerro Gordo Williams in as President,
and I'll guarantee that we'll have him
ousted pretty soon. John d. Harris is a
good man tor the place, and I'm in favor
OF putting him there I told him !
thought that Mr.. Harris was a very good
man, and supposed he would make a
good head for the organization.
Now l don't want to say anything
against Duwees, or anything that Will
hurt him, but that Is the conversation
that had with him, and he gave me to
clearly understand that the scheme was
to throw old 'Cerro Gordo' Williams out
and put Harris in his place.
A tobacco man, who was present, said
TO the reporter: "NOw what chance dc
YOU think the farmers have if shrewd
business men like Duwees and Barker arr
going to run this thing TO suit them
selves. Who thinks that these two gen.
tlemen are in the farmers movement for
anything except the money they see in
it? On the very outset they find Gen.
Williams opposed to them in some OF
their schemes and they at once move for
anew deal in the hope that they can
tIrn the card they want by
slipping it from the bottom of the deck. -
There's another shrewd move that
Barker has made, You know he has a
big rehandIing house us IN Carroll coun-
". Well, he has inserted a clause III the
associations rules 10y which tobacco no
in good shape shall be taken up and re-
handled at his warehouses. Barker is a
good business man, and he'll clear lots OF
money on this scheme.
Il know that the proceedings Of the
Board Of Directors have not gone on as
smoothly as their followers could wish.
The people who subscribed at the Lex
ington meeting think that the warehouse
should be built there, and the Maysville
subscribers say that they viii not pay
in a cent unless the warehouse is located
in that enterprising town. Although l
think the farmers viii not put up their
money 50 readily in a scheme which is
almost entirely experimental, when they
can 50 readily invest in warehouses
closer to them that they know to be
doing a successful bushes. ~ Louisville

contents of each can as it appears into a

these checks are cashed at the rate of 6
cents for each check. Sometimes one

READY FOR SHIPMENT.

From the receiving collander the
steamed oysters, brown and barely moist,
are thrown successfully into three tubs
Of water, where they are thoroughly
washed, absolute cleanliness being the
motto of this house. They are then
placed in round tin cans, the girls who
fill passing the cans Immediately TO 9TH
ems who weigh the cans, supplying what
ever deficits in weight may occur from
piles Of oysters lying before them. But
the filters are very skillful and seldom
put INTO can even one oyster either
more or less than enough.
From the weighers' table the cans o.
steamed oysters are placed in boxes and
placed under tubs through which cleal
salt water continually flows. Having
been filed with the water the cans arc
now showed into a steam boiler known as
an exhaust, and then, sti in their trays
the cars are placed on a table where theiI
tops are thoroughly wiped and dried by a
female operator. The cappers take them
next, and after fitting to each can its
little round cap, stamped with the exact
weight Of the contents, they solder the
caps on tightly and pass the cans to 9TH
ers, who pack them in large, round iron
receivers.
As fast as these receivers are filed with
cans they are hoisted by means Of der
ricks and shunted around to another part
of the canning-room where they are drop
ped, one by one, into a circular steam
boiler, from which they emerge excessive
ly hot, when they are dropped, still in
the receiver, into an iron tub of water to

another room, where they receive a coat
Of lacquer on each end and are then
passed to the girls who put on the labels.
These operatives can paste on from 5000
to 5000 labels in day, although in an
other room is a machine which pastes
from 10000 to $1,000 daily. When la

SOME STATISTICS.

In the Clustering season of 1SS4-S5 Bal
timOre's output of steamed and raw oys-
ters was 9, 10000 bushels; that of the
season Of ISS5-S6 was 100000 bushels
of ISS6-S7, 100000 bushels; of ISS7-Ss,
5,7O0,OOO bushels; of ISsS-S9, 6,5OO,OOO
bushels, and of 1SS9-9O, 5000, 900 bushels.
To this annual output is attached an an
nual increase to the packersOf from So
100000 to SlOOOO,OOO.
A cursory examination of the figures
just given will show that Baltimore's
trade in oysters is falling off, not gradual
ly, but rapidly, and that, too, at time
when the popularity of the oyster as a
luxury has reached its height, and when
the demand for it has grown 10 very
large proportions.
In view Of this state Of affairs the fact
that this years crop of oysters is coming
in with distressing hardness, and in Who'll
ly insufficient quantities to meet the large
and universal demand, is one of most IN
welcome significance. Yet it is indispu-
tably true that this years crop viii fall
short to the extent Of One-third of last
years figures. IN round numbers, the
oyster crop for the season Of Is9O-9I will
only amount to about 100000 bushels.

Baltimoreans are the representative

been universally recognized as such from

lucrative and constant, TO one-fifth Of the
population of Maryland. The annual in

ters is S3,OOO,OOO or more, and one-third
Of the revenue Of the city of Baltimors is

houses confine their operations to the less
expensive work of packing the oysters

THE STEAMING PROCESS.

The Martin Wagner Co. is this year do
ing the largest steaming business, per
haps, Of any packing-house in the city.
The process Of steaming and packing oys-
ters thus prepared differs materially from
that Of packing them in a raw state. Here
the vessels are unloaded at the wharves
by means Of derricks operated by donkey
engines, in iron tubs holding l } bushels
each. One tub in every fifty is examined
on the boat, and whatever proportion of
shells is found therein is deducted from
each of the other 10 tubs in the half hun
bred. As the oysters are taken from the
vessels hold they are poured into iron
cars with rounded bottoms, holding 10
bushels each. These run on tracks and
are pushed from the wharf into a long
room, where they are showed with their
freight into two large boilers OF steamers,
whence they emerge smoking hot and al
ready open, awaiting the shucker's knife.
From the steamers the oysters, still on
the cars, are switched on to light tracks
prepared to receive them, and here the
army of shuckers make short work OF
them.
