BILLIONS OF CIGARETTES.

Seattle Intelligencer: An investigation
based ON the arrival in Tacoma this week
of three carloads of cigarettes for ship
ment to Shanghai and Toxic on one of the
North American Steamship c~onpany's
liners brings to light the enormous traffic
in this line of luXur1es that is beng car
ried on betWecn the United states n
nations of the Orient. When the actual
figures in carloads of the shipments from
the Pacific coast this year are reduced
cigarettes in the total. figures are
reached that are amazing and almost
ncaiculable
These three carloads weighed a total
OF 98,127 pounds, deducting the weight of
cases, packages, ETC., amounting to 2,4o3.-
175 packages such as are sold IN Seattle
for 5 and 10 cents each. AS each of these
contains 10 cigarettes. this one shipment
includes a total of 24,531 $50 cigarettes.
But this single shipment of three cars
is in reality a small portion of the traffic
in this commodity. As nearly complete
a. the figures could be got yesterday. it
appears that since the beginning of the
year no less than 1873 carloads have been
received on the coast, which have been
transferred to steamships and taken to
the Orient. principally to China and ia
pan, although the people OF the Philip
pine islands consume a considerable
quantity. The average weight of the
contents in cigarettes of these l9S cars
was 81, 4SO pounds. excluding the weight
Of the cases and packages, making a
total of SSH ,040 pounds Of cigarettes. On
the basis of 25O cigarettes to the pound,
which is as nearly the correct average
weight as can be estimated. this gives a
! total of 1852. 760. 900 cigarettes. And,
strange as it may seem, these figures are
somewhat below the average, as the
stocks that were rushed into Japan just
before the high tariff went into effect,
on January l. have not been consumed.
It is considered that the average con-
sumption in oriental countries of Amer
lean cigarettes amouns to approximately
SEQ carloads. l3,4SS 900 pounds. or 4,S72,-

UTAH'S UNIQUE AND INTERESTING

The salt palace in Salt Lake CITY. con.
structed from salt crystals formed in ~

the dazzling effect can be secured excant
from a personal view of the exhibition
Connected with the palace is a Midway

Gated in the heart of Salt Lake City and
occupies about 20 acres of ground. The

California Banks.

a Francisco, Aug. 29.-The state
commissioners nave issued a state
ment giving the condition Of all the
banks in California at the close Of bust
ness on July 81, 1899, which shows an in
crease in assets and liabilities for the
whole state Of $27, 554. 436 for II months,
from August 81, 1898, and an increase for
the period from August 81. 1897. a period
Of two years, of $50, OBJ. SIP.
Taking into consideration that during
the last IL months six banks went out of
business, representing a paid up capital
Of 81, 100, 939. the total gain for that period
would b. $50. 100, 451. The o due de-
has grown in two years by $50
382. 795. This is the best showing made
in the history of the state.

Is Only Temporary.

Chicago. Aug. ga special to the Tri-
bune from Ottawa, Ont, says: The
Washington dispatches relating to an
alleged secret understanding between the
Washington authorities and Premier
Laurier are regarded here as having
some foundation in fact, though they
may be to some extent conjectural. Any
understanding is necessarily unwritten
and private, it is stated. 1t is unofficial
and temporary and disposes finally of
or the questions, but simply holds
in status DUO. The secret under
standing, according to ministerial cir
cIes here. is merely to hold in check and
to defer the possible demonstrations
brought by the mention of the president
to cede to Canada a free port in the Lynn
canal in return for Canada's, relinquish-
ment of her claims to the entire head
of the inlet, including Dyea,
Skagway and Pyramid harbor.
