BUYERS WIN THE FIGHT.
The Tobacco Trade Decides What Warehouse
CHARGES Should Be-

The Richmond Tobacco Trade held an
adjourned meeting yesterday and took
the final step in its reorganization. The
charter was accepted u week ago and
officers We're elected and yesterday the
by-lstMs were adopted.
The fight over the warehouse-charSes
on loose sales was decided in favor of the
buyers The seller is to pay ten cents
weighing fee instead OF eight and the
purchaser rays nothing. Capt. W. NJ.
Bridges was reelected inspector and

The meeting of the Trade called to

cupin- the chair Tor the first time since his
election. a gooGly attendance was pres
ent and many important matters We're
transacted. The bylaws prepared by the
committee of which Mr. f. u. Williams
WAS chairman, We're adopted WITH a
few changes. a spirited fight arose over
nne of the laws directing the inspector TO
inspect and place the official seal on all
tobacco which he might be called to
sample. a substitute was finally adopted
giving the inspector power officially TO
inspect only the tobacco which is stored
in bonded and licensed warehouses in
Richmond.
The question of warehouse-charses
was reserved until the last, and precipi-
tated lively discussion. The buyers
themselves appeared divided on the ques-
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1901-03-26

ton some suggesting that the old con-
ditions be reinstated and others holding
forth that the buyers should be exempt
from all charge. The Trade ilnaIly
adopted the following bylaw:
The charges Tor selling loose tobacco
Shall be viz: auction fee of 15c. per pile
of 100 lbs or less, of &c. per pile OF over
100 lbs; weighing fee of Ice per 100
pounds: and per cent commission, All
of which are to be charged to the seller
This is in effect adding &c. per 100
pounds to the weighing fee imposed on
the buyers and raising 10 cents on his
auction fee when his pile weighs over 100
pounds. The buyer pays nothing unless
he wishes TO have the tobacco he pur-
chases delivered by the warehouse, when
he viii pay an extra charge OF &c. per
hundred pounds.
The other bylaws are practically the
same as of Old. Special attention is
given TO the regulation Of the sales on
the loose Warehouses and provision is
made for a sales committee whose special
function it will be TO see that the ware
houses conduct the sales properly
The WarahouScplen are rather de
pressed over their defat. They made a
strong fight before the Trade yesterday
10 have the old charges resumed. but
failed To accomplish anything. The con-
test is now finally ended and there Is
nothing for them to do but submit.

1T CAME BACK.
The Doctors Wife Found Her Com
ple2ion Again.

Coffee is no respecter Of persons when
il comes 10 the poisonous effects thereof.
A prominent physicians wife of Month
cello. Ind. says that coffee treated her
very badly indeed. giving Ter serious
and painful stomach trouble and q
Mretche6, muddy complexion.
Her husband is a physician Of the reg
uiar school and opposed 10 both tea and
coffee. so he induced her TO leave them
off and take on Postum Food Coffee.
The stomach lro,ible disappeared al
most like magic. and gradually her COM
1,lcxion cleared nI,; now she is in excel
lent condition throughout.
There are thousands OF highly organ
lied people who are made sick in va
riety of different ways by the use of ccf-
Zee. and most OF these people do not sus-
pect the cause of their trouble. They
think that others can drink coffee and
arc we'll, and they can. but about one
person out of every three is more or less
poisoned by coffee, and this can be proved
oy leaving off coffee and taking Postum
rood Coffee. In nearly every case the
disorder will be greatly relieved or en-
,irely disappear. 1t is easy enough to
make a trial and see whether coffee is u
poison to you or not.
The name OF the doctors wife can be

The Minnesota Farmers Beef Stock.

1t is conceded that the steer grown on
the cultivated farm must be in connec-
ton with dam that can give reason
able amount of milk for at least six
months, which should be the winter.
believe that The system OF breeding J.
have carried on for several years will
Dleet this demand. The milk factor
should be found in grades Of the deep
milking form. When one proposes to
breed steer that will be without rough
ness and coarseness, aud will mature IN
to s.baby beef, it must be sired by the
best beef blood that can be obtained.
Two crosses of such breeding will pro-
duce this result. Farmers will learn to
reject an animal that has pedigree, if
it is without the manifest quality that
he can easily learn to recognize.
The breeders of beef cattle want to be
put TO their mettle. Let the purchasers
of beef bulls know quality to the extent
that they will refuse to buy an animal
if he has no merit but the possession of a
pedigree, and thele will be all immediate
change for the better in the cattle indus
try The system l advocate provides
for keeping beef sires on the farm for a
period of years, and in that way avoids
breeding from immature bull, from
which we aught never expect to get the
best quality. Farm, Stock & Home.
