lEw YORK Jan. %, l9(


Local dealers in domestic leaf tobacco
are beginning to think that January will
see no active trading. So far this month
and at the pret ent writing-the market
has been and is extremely quiet. Packers
and dealers, it must be confessed had
greater expectations for January Cigar
manufacturers had prosperous season
and factories generally were busy right
up to the close Of the year. 1t was natur-
ally concluded that factory stocks were
low and that the break between the old
and the new years would be of short dur
alton. The former surmise was un-
doubtedly correct, and it is very prob
able that factory stocks as a whole are
seriously depleted. Manufacturers, how
ever, have been devoting themselves this
month to rearranging and distributing
their statesmen, and no doubt many are
waiting to get better idea of their re
quirements through the medium of their
travelling representatives In other
words, they wish to thoroughly sound
the cigar market before stocking up for
the year. Although there is little for
the domestic leaf man to look forward to
this month, it is quite likely that activity
will be renewed early in February. The
force sweated 1900 Connecticut is com
ing into the market in small quantities
and is being sold as rapidly as it arrives
Other staple tobaccos are being inquired
for, but it would seem that buyers limit
their purchases to immediate require
ments.
Sumatra. The improvement SO much
desired in the condition of this branch of
the trade has not materialized as yet.
Havana.-The home market is some
what quieter than last week. In Havana,
however, very heavy business has been
done by New York firms, and the local
falling off is undoubtedly due in part to
the large number of buyers who have
been in the Cuban capital during the past
few weeks and the excessive business
which has been done in that market. The
Havana branch of one New York house
disposed of 5000 bales, various kinds,
since last Wednesday. Among local sales
during the past week were: 140
bales 1900 Santa Claras, 1st and I'd capa-
duras, at SO to 72 cents and so to 55 cents
respectively, in bond.-Lsaf.

FINE MARBLE IN ALASKA.
Large Deposits Said to BE Equal to
the Carrara Product.

tine OafrarA IrO0uct.
]. e. Cronin, who has recently re-
turned from Marble creek, on Prince
of Wales island and w. X. Sheldon,
who has just Joined him from San
Francisco, have some wonderful stories
to tell Of the fine character of the mar
BILE to be found at Shakan, on Prince
Edward island, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencar. The marble is said to be
equal to the best Italian marble. Mr..
Sheldon said:
"When l received samples of this
marble last February, saw at once
that it was unlike any marble now be-
ing produced in the United States, but
identical with the marble produced in
the world famous quarries of Carrara,
Italy. While there are a number OF
profitable quarries in the United States
and a large amount Of American mar
BILE is used, yet the Italian product has
always occupied field which no Amer
lean marble could fill, as evidenced by
the fact that during the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1000, nearly 10000 tons OF
Italian marble were imported into tie
United States This marble from Alas
ka in texture, color and chemical analy-
sis Is Identical with the Carrara de-
post, and there is no reason why 1t
should not supplant the foreign product
entirely.
81 went to Alaska in March and
found mountain of high grade mar
BILE. While was fully convinced as to
the quality of the material, l did not
wish to make a final report on the
property as a commercial proposition
| until large blocks had been Quarried,
taken to the market and sawed. We
therefore quarried number OF blocks,
| and | took them to San Francisco and
had several of them sawed. These
blocks, of course, were taken from the
surface Of the ground and, having been
subjected to climatic influences for sew
eral centuries. were soft for depth OF
several inches from the surface. but
| the trial demonstrated the fact that
the deposit is a remarkably sound one,
and l have every reason to believe that
the percentage Of high grade sound
marble will be much larger than In
| any Of the deposits now being worked
In the United States. In fact, when
you consider that in developing marble
quarries it is customary to take out
and throw away from ten to twenty
feet Of the surface material the results
obtained are unprecedented.
"The amount of the matter Is that on
an island in southeastern Alaska. with
in few feet Of deep water, there Is a
larger area of high grade marble than
the combined areas Of all the Quarries
now being worked in the United
| States"

The outlook for gardening and some
agriculture in the cold region Of Alaska

Saturday Review said of this book:
eff it be true that ranching-that is,
stock raising on the plains-is, in its
present form, doomed and can hardly
outlive the century, all the more CRATE
full ought we to be to Mr.. Theodore
Roosevelt for having stereotyped its
essential features and presented them
to us in so attractive form as the
present volume"
The Century company published a
new popular edition Of this work in
1896, an octave volume of 1876 pages in
cloth covers. In the following year the
first two volumes of the work which
has been called perhaps Mr.. Roosevelts

is in five volumes, octave, with maps.
The third volume came out in 1894.
Its subtitle is 1.-The Founding of the
Transalleghany Commonwealth" and
It deals with the period from 1884 to
1890. In the preface Mr.. Roosevelt
says:

into the latent possibilities of the prin-

he was later to assist in working out.

ROOSEVELT WRITER
Literary Attachments of the New
President.
HIS PRODUCTIONS WIDELY READ

First Distinctive Literary Man Since
Jefferson to BE the Nations Chief
Executive-Twenty Years a Writer
on Historical Subje and Outdoor
Life.
Attention is being directed to Presl-
dent Roosevelts literary work just now
because he Is the first man of letters
to occupy the presidential chair since
Thomas Jefferson, says the New York
Sun. Mr.. Roosevelt has been writer
for twenty years. or nearly half his
life, and his productions have Aen
widely read. 1t is but natural, how
ever now that he is at the head of the
national government, that larger pro-
portion of the people should turn to see
what their president has done in the
world of letters.
His first publication was histor-
ical work. 1t appeared when he had
been only year out of college. He
was graduated from Harvard in 1850,
and "The Naval War of 1912; or, Tho
History of the United States Navy
During the Last War With Great Brit
ain" by Theodore Roosevelt, was pub
lished in New York city in 1882. 1t
will be noticed that his Investigations
into history, the conduct of navies and
warfare We're begun in his earliest
manhood. The Nation said of his first
book:
1.-The impartiality of the authors
judgments and the thoroughness with
which the evidence Is sifted are re-
markable and worthy Of high praise"
Mr.. Roosevelt's next work. published
three years later, was entitled Hunt
ing Trips Of a Ranchman; Sketches Of
Sport on the Northern Cattle Plains,
Together With Personal Experiences
of Life on Cattle Ranch" 1t was H.
lustrated by A. B. Frost, r. Swain Gif-
ford, j. C. Beard, Fannie E. Clifford
and Henry Sandman and was publish
ed in 1885 by the Putnams in the Me-
dora Edition, quarto, limited to 500
copies and sold by subscription at SIS.
OF the authors work The Nation said:
Ills style is simple and devoid Of
pretense Of fine writing, yet his de-
scrlptions of scenery are often most
eloquent"
In 1887 Mr.. Roosevelt wrote the "Life
of Thomas Hart Benton" and in the
following year "Gouverneur Norris"
both duodecimo volumes, published in
the American Statesmen series by
Houghton, Miffiin & Co. at Boston. In
the same year another duodecimo vol
ume by him was published by the Put
mans under the title Essays on Prac-
tical Politics." 1t was in the series
Questions of the Day. His most i'm

however, was Ranch Life and the
