REVIEW or THE WEEK.
The Tobacco Journals Report of the
Wins on Market.

Loose receipts continued heavy last
week. All the week the warehouses
have had large stocks to handle, to-
bacco coming in both by rail and
wagon. In spite OF the miserable
roads the planters have managed to
get to town with their wagons and on
several days the streets in the vicinity
of the warehouses were crowded. Re-
ceiptS by rail were also large and con
siderable stock remains unSold at
the various warehouses in the city.
From low grade to good working
leaf predominated in the receipts,
wrappers remaining scarce as usual.
Some lots of extra fine filters were sold
and were taken chiefly by home man
ufacturerS.
Throughout the week prices re-
mained firm and steady. All good
working stock sells well and the bid
ding is active. What few wrappers
are offered bring high figures and are
eagerly taken Nearly every buyer,
manufacturer and dealer in the city is
now on the market and all seem anx.
ious for stock.
Manufacturers report good business
for the week. Most statesmen are now
on the road and orders are coming in
at lively rate. Collections are good
and the general outlook for business
quite favorable.

Land today is monopolized by spec
uiators. But the world is as new to
every child as it was to Adam, and if
each child cannot, when he comes in
to the world, find a place for
himself here as Adam did, there is a
wrong done. Transportation agen-
cies, of people, merchandise and in
telligence, are today legally under the
control of private corporations. These
agencies are public highways, but
private corporations now have the le-
gil right to dictate TO the people how
we shall use our highwayS-how we
ssail exercise our own natural rights.

THE GAMBLING LICENSE.

Under chapter xxx of the acts of the
Both legislative assembly, gambling will
come higher in New Mexico than ever
before. An effort was we'll organized
early in the session to pass law pro-
hibitlng gambling entirely and making it
a felony, but strong opposition developed
and a compromise resulted in simply
doubling the license required of all those
running gaming tables. The new act
calls for the payment of 5000 license an
nually for each table, and it must be
henceforth paid in advance for the year,
and not by the quarter, as heretofore.
This cuts down the clerks fees dollar
or so for the year, as it does away with
the so cent fee which these officials re-
ceiyed each quarter, but it will do
general good in that it will serve to reduce
the number of gambling houses. Under
the new law, it requires the payment of
$241, per annum in advance for each
table run by gambling houses in all cities
of the territory as against $144 per table
under the old arrangement. The reyen-
ues derived from this source will 60 into
the general school fund of the counties.

Lowther, parliamentary secretary OF the

men. Howard Vincent said that the

100000. At the same time England's ex-
