NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 1900.

The last week of a presidential cam
paign is generally dead one for bust
ness, and particularly for the leaf trade.
Four years ago it meant a depre-
citation in the money standard and the
unsettling of all values. In other years
a change in the administration meant
possible change in the tariff, and any
change in the tariff is sure to effect the
value of tobacco. But this year, the re-
suit being so generally anticipated, viz,
that the present administration will be
voted into power again, that the leaf
market is hardly feeling the effect of the
political agitation. Another sign OF the
conviction of the country tnat there will
be no change in the administration is
the continued and advancing prosperity
of the cigar industry. Nearly every fac
tory in the country is working with full
force and overtime to meet the crOwding
orders. The unprecedented increase in
the output Of cigars in the Ninth Penn
sylvania District, as reported in our cor
respondence from Lancaster, Pa, is an
eloquent witness to this state of affairs
And our own Office received last week
confrmatory evidence of it IN the appli-
cations for registering nearly four hun
dred trade marks. Ii the country were
apprehensive of a change in the admin
istration, and change that is sure TO
bring a panic, manufacturers would,
withhold their orders for new brands;
they would wait at least till the result is.
decided positively. But sending in these
applications now to save weeks timeis
the best proof possible that the outcome
of the National election on Tuesday next
is awaited by the business world with the
utmost serenity.
The largest single transaction during
the week was the sale OF 800 boxes of '98
Zimmers. Other sales were in Pennsyl-
vana BIS, some Flats and Connecticut,
amounting in the aggregate to about
1900 boxes.
Sumatra is more than holding its own,
the sales for the week being about 200
bales, and the Havana market remains
likewise steady and firm. Old goods are
still continuing the bulk Of the sales.--@

While the activity that characterized
the buying of the 1900 crop is not SO ap-
parent as few weeks ago, still there is
a goodly number of buyers riding and
they are picking up large number of
crops each week, at prices fully as high
as at any time this fall. Some farmers
are high in their asking price and the
buyers generally refuse to pay these
figures. Some farmers have taken a
portion of their crop down and some
stripping has been done, but the bulks
get too hot and discolors from the green
stalks Farm and Home.

Transactions in the country have not
been as large as for several weeks last
past. although there is still large
amount in first hands, if reports Of buy
ers are correct. There is no decline in
prices. There has been no rain to case
tobacco in the sheds. Fine weather has
enabled farmers to finish fall work and
be ready for stripping.

The closing week of October must 60
on the record as quite one. Some fairly
good sales have been put through, but
business generally has been unsatisfac-
tory. Trading throughout the month
has been less active and more unsteady
than it was during September AS it is
only few days before election, the out
of-town contingent are but little in evi-
dence, and another week of slack bust
ness is anticipated.

touch of the ante election slump. Despite
the general tendency on the part of
manufacturers to postpone their trading
until after the votes are counted, few
firms have done a very satisfactory bust
ness this week.-Leaf

The struggle is now ON between
the saloon people and those who
oppose the opening of the saloons
in the county. 1t will no doubt
grow intense as the struggle goes
on; but with all that, let the peo-
pie keep cool heads Log an,
the fight is rather of u peculiar
nature, or rather is not ended In
case the consent petit IN grows to
the proper magnitude. Here there
will then be a second struggle for
saloons or none. 1t jig generally
understood that the city council
az it now stands, would grant az
many permits as were asked for
provided each Was backed with
the requisite amount of cash,
though some people claim that an
excuse will be found for the grant
ing OF simply one permit. So
what will be done in that respect
will remain to be seen. Ofcourse
that in case sixty-five per cent
cannot be obtained then there will
be no saloons in any portion of
the county. It is understood that
Missouri Valley will seek to avoid
being placed under the contol of
the county on account of having
more than 5000 population, but in
ord to bring her enumeration up
we fear she will have to import a
a goodly portion of Omaha or the
Bluffs. SO it may be pretty safe Ia
predict that in case the consent
petition does not prevail, the VAL
ley, like the rest of the. towns in
the county, will go dry. The tenn
perance people claim to be we'll
organized and will place obstacles
wherever possible, SH
