Hall is for Mr.. Bell. Either will

Next meeting Mr.. Hall win fail in
his obligations to the people of
Vinita if he does not attend. To
the people Of Vinita or to Mr..
Bell, the statesman, will he be
true.
Mayor Sheehan has the power
to name an assessor and the law
provides that he shall be confirmed
by the council. There were three
candidates, r. I. Blakeney, e. N.
Williamson and Sam Ridenhour.
Mayor Sheehan, to be fair to all
interests, named the three. Mr..
Williamson received the support
of Councilmen Miller and Daven-
port. Mr.. Bell, the statesman,
cast three ballots for Ridenhour.
The latter will undoubtedly make
an efficient officer but the support
of Statesman Bell should not in

way is open for him to demonstrate
the wisdom with which we believe

Cabled reports received today show that

American houses were small; in fact,
some of the leading importers held aloof

NOTE ROOR SK hTOHES.

The indications are that before the
packing season closes the calendars of
the circuit courts in the tobacco section
of the state will contain half score or
more of suits brought against tobacco
dealers, all growing out of difficulty in
arriving at satisfactory settlements for
the tobacco crop between the grower
and buyer Taking it altogether this
has been the hardest receiving season
dealers have ever experienced, and it is
not at all to be wondered at that more or
less litigation should have resulted. 1t
is highly probable that not all of the ac-
tions commenced will be brought to trial
but enough of them will be fought out
in court and decisions reached defining
the law of contract more definitely than
we have heretofore known it. If all this
results in securing some plain rules OF
law, SO explicit that all may understand,
then the litigation will be of some value
in governing the transactions of other
years. 1t is worth something to both
the grower and dealers to. know on just
what legal ground they stand upon when
matters OF difference regarding the de-
livery of tobacco crop arises.

Another "freak" condition of the to-
bacco market for which an explanation
is wanted is again attracting attention.
The first Sumatra inscription at which
the new crop was offered at Amsterdam
last week was attended by sensational
competition and exceedingly high prices
The cabled reports seem to indicate that
it was good deal of "horse race" be-
tween the American Tobacco Co. and a
few large operators to see who should
bid the higher on the offerings 1t is
hard competition to 60 against the mil
lions of the big trust as any packer will
find out who attempts it. The furry
across the water has taken place while
the seed leaf market on this side is over
clouded with depression and inactivity
that has not prevailed for long time
past, and this is why the two situations
are so completely unaccountable.

With the improvement in the country
roads buyers are yenturing out into the
growing districts and the buying of to-

The most stirring event of the week
was the result of the first Sumatra in
scription this year, held at Amsterdam
on Wednesday last. Neither the scare
of the American Cigar Company, which
has paralyZed business in the market for
the past two months, Dor the prospect of
an increased area of Connecticut Suma
ira under the Sl09, ,000improved auspices
of the Department Of Agriculture, which
threatened annihiliation to the genuine
article, seems to have deferred American
buyers from securing all that was fit for
our market. Out of an offering of 10000
bales over one third was bought for the
United States, a percentage larger than
at any previous inscription since 1890
with one or two exceptions. Nor Goes
the competition of the American Cigar
Company. dreaded SO terribly in advance
seem to have any extraordinary percepti-
ble effect'either on the price Or in pre-
venting others from securing their share.
True, the American Cigar Company got
the lions share, 1900 bales, but their in
dividual competitors got much more,
over 2500 bales, and two of our leading
and largest Sumatra houses did not buy
bale! OF course, good, even high,
prices must have been paid, but the to-
bacco must have warranted it, otherwise
no such quantity would have been taken
for our market. And il the prices are
too high, the old stock in our market
will soon disappear at a large advance.
The result is gratifying for the fact
which it reveals, that our Sumatra i'm
porters are not yet ready to go out OF
business on the scare cry or the expert"
testimony of the equality, if not super
iority, of the cheese cloth Connecticut.
And why should they as long as our ci-
gar output is keeping on increasing in
spite of both? The official internal reye-
nue. returns for the month of February,
just in, show again an increase in the
production of cigars of twenty-five mil
lions and half and an increase of near
ly nine millions in little cigars in total
output of All, ,196,433 and 81 ,891 $3.50 re-
spectively. Force-sweated leaf is selling
daily to meet the immediate demands
for wrapper leaf, and a few hundred
bales of old Sumatra were gobbled up
quickly right after the news of the in
scription reached some up town factor
ies.-Journal.

Though six and one-half years have
elapsed since the existing laws relating
to the sale of leaf tobacco by farmers
went into effect, inquiries are being con
stantly made. The uniform ruling of
the Internal Revenue office is that a
grower may sell and deliver leaf tobacco
of his own raising, in it's natural condi-
ton, to any person, in such quantities as
desired, but that the farmer is not priv
ileged to stem, twist, roll, plait, sweeten,
cut or otherwise reduce his tobacco from
the condition in which it was cnred on
the farm, for the purpose of selling the
same to consumers, and that all tobacco
treated in this manner is regarded as
manufactured tobacco and subject to
tax; further, that the privilege farmer
has of selling and delivering his tobacco
without restriction is a personal one,
which he can delegate to another per-
son, and that any person not qualified
leaf dealer employed by the farmer or
grower to sell and deliver his leaf tobac-
co, and all tobacco sold by such person
would be regarded as manufactured
tobacco subject to tax.

The annual report of the American
Tobacco Co., lately made public, showed
net earnings for the year past after de-
Quoting all charges and expenses of
management of Sc, ,3O3 ,498O2 After pay
ing per cent on its preferred stock and
6 per cent. on its script and common
stock issue, there was net surplus of
about five million of dollars. The state
ment Of assets places the value of its
manufacturing plants and stock on hand
at about IA million and it's patents,
trade marks, and good will at about 80
million in total of nearly 80 million
dollars. In other words the company
estimates it's patents, good will, ETC., at a
sum more than double the investments
in manufacturing and stock Of leaf to-
bacco carried. The capital stock con-
sists of Il million preferred and 54115
million Of commen stock on which it pays
5 and 6 per cent. dividends respectively
So the big trust that is able to meet
these fixed charges and lay aside sur
plus of nearly million more per year
can truly be said to be doing a fairly
good business.

The anti-cigarette bill introduced early
in the legislature is still hung up in the
senate Senator Miller has prepared a
substitute, which places the license for
cigarette dealers at 800 annually and
places them under bonds of $500 not to
sell the article to minors. Many sena-
tors argue that this is practical and con
stitutional and ought to pass. The stu
alton of itself prophesies the passage of
some kind of anti cigarette bill.

If that be possible, we are inclined to
say our local leaf market is becoming
duller than it has yet been. That, also,
appears to be the opinion of the trade
generally. 1t has approached a conf
plete standstill more nearly than we ever
have known it. The reasons for this
condition of things continue to be de
bated by the trade, and the result is,
everybody knows just as much now as
they did weeks and months ago. The
truth appears to be that the spectators
and the trade generally have scare of
which they appear to be unable to di
vest themselves, and the result is nothing
is done. The only question is how long
this condition of things is going to con-
tinue. AS a rule the tobacco is in strong
hands and will hardly leave them until
better prices are established. Even now
business is possible, if the prices asked
for are conceded, h9t no one cares to sell
his holdings al cost.

well known to the trade, have associ
ated themselves under the firm name of

as leaf dealers on West Chestnut street,

see their friends in the trade.
There is rather more doing in last
years goods, but-even here trade is far
from being satisfactory. 1t is true there
has been reduction in the asking psice,
but the very low prices quoted have
, been for very inferior goods,

ly. The leaf situation in New York
grows no better, and the market has set
tied down TO single case orders All this
stagnation is said to be due to the un-
certain feeling among cigar manufac-
