TRANSPORTATION OF MONKEYS
Organ Grinders Do Not Carry Them

Here Nowadays.
 4 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 pfano=organ. on wheels. managed by two persons for the old fashioned smaller band-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 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 it doffs for the pennies, still climbs fences and rainwater conductors, and hops up on porehes quite in the old familiar way, in search of contribu- tions. While monkeys are not per- mitted here, there are men who buy monkeys and train them to sell to organ grinders who can use them else where; and a well=tfained monkeX sometimes brings as much as $50. IL had seemed, with fewer monkeys In sight. as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported. but the faet appears Q he that, if anything. ta importation is just now rather great& than= usual due to the increased de. mand from the show people. who are. after =all.gthe greatest purchasers of monkeys in this country. The organ grinders use a considerable number; q few comparatively. are sold for zo- elogieal collections, and in recent years a few have been sold for pets. but Hha largest buyers of monkeys are the traTeling 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 tllese shows use up a good mang monkeys The life of 8 monkey on theroad is usually but a single seas3n. The show feneWs its stock of monkeys avery year
