What was to all appearances an at
tempt practically to GUST from the trade
a large number Of the exporters of to-
bacco in this city and other portions OF
the South has just been brought to
light by British commission merchants,
who, according to advices received here
within the past day or two. are taking
vigorous steps to head off the movement
and protect their American patrons.
At the present time, Lonuon and Liver
pool are open markets. where the great
bulk Of the American tobacco, sent there
by exporters in this country, is put up
for sale. and. by British manufacturers,
purchased. When the Imperial Tobacco
Company was formed and announced It's
policy to buy its Virginia and North
Carolina tobacco directly from this coun-,
try and sent its own representatives
here to look after the matter, large
portion of this open trade at the two
British cities was cut off. Still there
were a, number of Independent factories
who did not unite with the Imperial and
who continued to buy their tobacco as
before. It is upon this trade tisat the
open exporters of Richmond and many
Virginia and other towns now depend
for their livelihood. If this is removed,
they may as well get out Of the export
business.
Hence is seen the gravity Of any
effort to curtail this trade with the m
dependent factories. Such a movement,
however. has positively occurred. It is
learned that certain tobacco men in the
United States have been to the independ-5
ent factories and solicited their trade.
They stated to the owners that if the
supplies for these factories were not
purcha sed from them they could not be
gotten at ALL These interested gentle
men tried to show that the regular ex-
porters could not longer furnish the to-
bacco; that the London and Liverpool
markets would not be open" hereaf-
ter, and that the orders for goods might
as well be given to themselves
The British commission merchants who
handle the goods Of the American ex-
porters got onto this racket. howevr,
and, it is understood. are taking steps
to counterfeit it's influence. They are
assuring the independent factories. the
trade for which is absolutely essential to
their patrons here, that the London and
Liverpool markets will be open as usual.
and that supplies can be gotten as easily.
as before.
A prominent Richmond tabacconist was
seen yesterday morning about the mat
ter, but was not disposed to discuss it
to any great extent He stated 1t to
be his opinion however, that while the
gentlemen who were associated with the
movement had a perfect right 20 solicit
the trade Of the Independent factories, it
was going a step too far when they
tried. as they did. to create the impress
sion that the exporters here could not
handle this trade any longer. He thought
that the movement of the British AtIer-
chants would have the desired effect.
According to letters received here yes
terday. the independent trade is 1ncreas-
ing and the exporters will be able to
live off of it. They will not be run out
Of business as yet. Moreover, the I'M
perial itself has not said that 1t would
entirely desert the English markets.
There may be some hope in this quarter

FACTORY BUILDING PURCHASED.

 For Enlargement of Business by
 the Car Register Company-A Bit of
 Local History.
 The large factory building with land pertaining thereto at the corner of Chapel and Hamilton streets was pur- chased recently for $1s.0OO, or there abouts, by Frederick C. Boyd. Willis Anthony and John s. Bradley of the board of directors of the New Haven Car Register Manufacturing company. Its owners were Pettingill & Co, the Boston advertisers who purchased the building from Healey & Bigel0w. who for mcrly occupied it with the plant of the KickapOO Indian Medicine company. At present it is occupied by the q. Edward Osborn Machine concern. The purchasers will use the structure for the car register business. which will be moved to the new place within few months. Their business has OutgrOwn its present location Ill Geofse street. The lot upon which the factory stands has dimensions of 1JGi2 feet by log feet and on the Hamilton street side Is an open space upon which will be erected a large addition.
 In the George street shop the company employs eighty-live men and this number of employees, it Is said, will be nearly dou- Dled when the business will be taken down town. The building just bought by the Gar Register company was erected just before the civil war and was occupied for years by the firm of Durham X Booth in the manufacture of carriages. They were q well known and prominent firm of carriage builders for years and removed to theIr new building from their old quarters at the corner of Chapel and Wallace streets, which had become inadequate owing to the growth of the firms business. They were among the first in the business in New Haven to adopt steam power in connection with the carriage manufacturing business. New Haven was then at about the zenith of its fame as Il carriage manufacturing city. During the war the carriage business became very dull and the big shop of Dur ham X Booth was rented for time to Uncle Sam and here the Thirteenth COnnec ticut Volunteers were Quartered for sev. eral weeks prior to their departure for the war. During their stay In the barracks the Thirteenth Connecticut Volunteer soldiers ! were drilled daily in the then large open lot adjoining the factory premises. After | the war the carriage business was con ducted at the factory by Durham Booth X Wooster and later for years by Mir. Woes ter. Both Messrs. Durham and Wooster have passed away, Mir. Booth dying many years ago not long after the war.

 Miss Eugenia Ives, daughter of Charles P. Ives, of 256 State street, has returned from very pleasant outing in Glastonbury where she was the guest of her aunt,
 Yesterdays weather though very warm was endurable owing to the prev alence of a light breeze that tempered the atmosphere and the distressing article known as humidity was absent. A large portion of the public was out on the trolley cars at one time or another, keeping cool, and the shore resorts were well patronized.
 An old landmark. the house which stood on the southeast corner of Church and Grove streets, is no more. It was for many years the home of the late Charles l.. Chaplain, who was a promi~ nent New Haven democrat for a long period. The house has been torn down at the order of Rutherford Trowbridge, who purchased the property and whose fine residence on Grove street immedi- ately adjoins this corner lot. Mr. Trow- bridge it is reported, will convert the land into lawn for the further en- bellishment of his grounds and will have a fountain thereon. The inn provement gives the Trowbridge place an outlook to Church street. The whole will make very handsome i'm proyen1ent of the Trowbridge place and of Church street.
