THE IMPORTATION OF MoNKrva
orean-Grinders Do Not Carry Them
 Here Nowadavs


 A man who had missed the mon- keys formerly carried about by organ grinders in the city streets. and who had attributed their disappearance to the changed conditions of the organ grinding business, to the substitution of the big piano-organ on wheels. managed by two persons, for the old fashioned smaller hand-organ, that was carried about by the player, found upon inquiry that, whatever influence the changed conditions might have had, the carrying of monkeys by or gan-grinders is now prohibited here by a city ordinance. There are. how ever. places in which the monkey still forms valuable part of the organ grinders outfit, and where the nimble little animal, clad in an embroidered jacket and wearing fancy hat, which II doffs for the pennies, still climbs fences and rainwater conductors. and hops up on porches quite in the old familiar way. in search of contribu- tions. While monkeys are not per- mftted here, there are men who buy monkeys and train them to sell to organ-grinders who can use them else- where; and a well-trained monkey sometimes brings as much as $50. It had seemed. with fewer monkeys in sight, as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported, but the fact appears to be that, if anything, tA Importation Is just now rather greatA chan usual, due to the increased de- mand from the show people who are, after all. the greatest purchasers of monkeys in this country. The organ grinders use a considerable number; few, comparatively. are sold for zo- elogical collections, and in recent years a few have been sold for pets, but the largest buyers of monkeys are the travelling shows, of which there are, besides the great, modern, consoli- dated shows, many smaller ones, show ing in smaller towns throughout the country. Take them all together and these shows use up good many monkeys. The life of a monkey on the road is usually but single season The show renews its stock of monkeys every year.
