lows: There are about 800 to 1000
bales held here today by strong parties
who could hold it until far in the sum-
mer, if they cared to. 1t sold on the
street today at csc. Only two bales
were on the market. There is practi
cally no cotton to come from the country,
and we think that this town has more
stock than the balance of this county.
To our mind cotton should sell at 9Mc.
and 10c. would not be an unreasonable
price. Preparations are late on account
of bad weather and, fertilizer sales are
reduced at least 10 per cent in this sec
ton. The acreage has also been cut
down right much Fewer people are
planting cotton this year, some of them
having abandoned its cultivation entire
ly and others planting more of the grains
and tobacco. That, about fits the cotton

Tampa Times; The people of Tampa
generally do not seem to have an ade-
uuate conception of the injury that
may inure to our great Havana cigar
lndustry-the mainstay of the city
through the change in the Cuban tariff
which it now appears Congress will
make. The manufacturers, however,
appreciate the gravity of the situation,
and some of them have expressed
themselves to the editor of the Times
as gravely apprehensive of the result
If the present bill passes. Nearly all
of the factories are reducing their
forces, and all appear to be awaiting
developments with anxiety. The bill
as it now stands is so outrageously
and glaringly unfair to the manufac
turers of clear Havana cigars in this
country. that it is hard to conceive
why it is supported by any American
statesman. 1t will give the manu-
facturers in Havana a reduction of
duties of about Sl4 per 1,000-averag
ing all sizes and values of cigars
while the reduction to the manufac-
turers of this country on the leaf i'm
ported will not amount to more than
$3.50 per 900. The advantage to the
Havana manufacturer will thus be
seen to amount to $11.50 per 1000 on
an average. There are few, if any,
cigars made on which the clear profit
is as much as SO per 1,000 and thus
it will be readily seen that the Ha-
vana manufacturers will be in position
TO put those of this country out of
business if they care to give the trade
the benefit of the reduction.
