A TOBACCO FAMINE.
Effect Of Weyler's Order on Manufacture
Of Cigars Here.

EliSSt VI WeyIeI'S OfuSr Oh nanuidStufS
Of Cigars Here.
CHICAGO, May 20.-The Times Herald
SAYS: "With few exceptions, every man.
ufactory in Chicago engaged in making
Havana cigars will be shut down within
30 days as one result of General Welyer's
order forbidding the eMportat ion OF leaf
tobacco from Cuba. This Is the opinion
expressed by some of the largest tobacco
importers in the city who are thoroughly
posted on the condition OF the market.
Another result of the Spanish generals
proclamation will be the enforced idleness
OF thousands of cigar makers until the
EN- barge Is removed.
"What Is true here may also, IL is said,
apply anywhere, where Cuban tobacco is
necessary to tue manufacture OF cigars.
There is no more Havana wrapper tobac-
co in sight than has already been brought
to this country. and this cannot last
longer than three months. The new
crop for which importers have been wait
ing has just matured but might as well
have been burned by the Cuban ipsur-
gents for all the good it will do the Ame-
rican manufacturer. There is plenty OF
fill tobacco, but IL is useless without
the proper kind OF wrapper.
The small manufacturers will suffer
most by General Weyler's proclamation.
They will find 1t next to impossible to
buy wrapper, tobacco at any price in few
weeks. A few of the largest importing
firms will profit immensely by the situa-
tion. The5e firms have been investing
largely during the past month in Havana
toabcco, fully anticipating the contin-
gency that has arisen. 1t is no secret in
the tobacco trade that two or three Chi
cago importers have been making the
heaviest shipments in their history since
the beginning OF the month, hoping to
lay in stock that would carry them
through"
