countable for the heavy dealings in Tobacco
sales in all stocks and its movement clearly
indicated the influence Of the manipulation
which is the characteristic feature in Industrial
stock speculation. There is reason to be
bullish on the stock II the current reports re-
gardng the company are to be believed. and
the company's recent report showing the effect
OF trade competition upon It's earnings Is suffi-

In December the company advertised the fact
that 1t needed more working capital and that
the February dividend upon the common stock

year Of 81. $50 600 Upon this basis net earnings
for 1895 would approximate &,S15.SoO. against

as shown in the annual report, were sSsm SSi

Kentucky is still the dark and
bloody ground. Not only are the
politicians divided into parties,
and the parties into factions, and
the faction warning one against
the other, but the moonshiners
and the revenue officers are
at it with gun and club. The
war is to the knife and the
knife to the hilt. The NOON
sinners have sworn to exterminate
the revenue officers and all in
formers. Deeds of violence null
tiply and there is every reason to
fear a regular armed contest there
involving scores if not hundreds Of
desperate men in before peace is
restored and the law is upheld.

There seems to be a breakdown

Cleveland is of the opinion, or at
least he so expresses himself, that
the democratic party on a hard
money platform and with a hard
money candidate can carry the
next general election. Grover has
the faith that removes mountains,
but his faith is dead, being with

There is a general opinion that he
