Ottawa Mans Army Appointment.

Ottawa. Kas., March 26.--John Ser
vatius, son of p. Servatius, has received
an appointment as veterinary surgeon
in the army and will be sent to the
Philippines soon. Servatius is a young
man, having graduated from the Kan
sas City Veterinary college only this
spring. 1t is said that the principal
reason Servatius has for going to the
Philippines is. to get away from the
scenes of the one black spot in his life.
On Christmas eve, 1a)0 Servatius shot
and killed shorty Garretson, horse
trader, near the Servatius home. The
young man was acquitted of the crime
after a fair trial, but his friends say he
has been of a morose disposition since
He is of good family and has many
friends. He will leave for the Philip
pines in a few days.

New YORK, Dec. 13. 1902.


Though there are but three weeks to
the time when it is customary for the ci-
gar factories to stop work for the pur-
pose of taking inventory, the market
does not show any signs of lapsing into
dullness. Quite the contrary and some
transactions have lately taken place
which by their magnitude recall any of
the lauded periods of the. trade-for
nearly seven thousand boxes of leaf
were lately disposed of in quantities
ranging from 800 to over 1000. One of
the large corporations quietly gathered
in over 5000 boxes of 1900 Wisconsin at
heavy advance over what those goods
could have been got year ago, besides
buying over 1000 boxes OF 1901 Wiscon-
sin in addition to its own packings. The
significance of this heavy buying of the
1900 Wisconsin must be evident to every
manufacturer. It. proves conclusively
that one of the biggest concerns tried to
get under cover in regard to its binder
stock as we'll as to the available leaf for
little cigars. The balance OF the stock
sold was made up of Onondaga, mostly
binder stock, too, and Pennsylvania, and
needless to say that these goods were
not given away as a present or sold at
loss. Not pound of leaf needs to be
sold at loss nowadays.

JANEsvILLE, Wis, Dec. II, 1902.

Il
The fire fiend seems to be after the
tobacco warehouses of this city. About
2:45 Sunday morning fire was discovered
in the warehouse of Joseph Grundy on
Pleasant street. The loss is practically
total. The warehouse contained about
1000 cases of 1901, about 300cs of 1900
and about 100cs of 1899. The loss is
about S35, 600 with an insurance of $4,000
on stock and S700 on building. The
rates were so high Mr.. Grundy did not
carry much insurance, it being 3.75.
There is some salvage which can be sold
for two or three cents. The salvage is
being moved to Mr.. Grundy's farm,
where the salable stock will be assorted
out and the remainder will be used for
fertilizer. 1t is thought that the fire is
ofincendiary origin.
The damp spell of Monday did not
continue quite long enough, but some of
the farmers took down some tobacco.
But very little buying is being done in
1902 at present.
Old goods are moving slowly, sales be-
ing confined to small lots. L. B. Garlic
& Son sold 93cs this week. Owing to
the approaching holidays it is not ex-
pected that much will be done in this
line until after Jan. l.

Weather conditions of late have been
very favorable and farmers generally
have been kept busy taking their tobac-
co down and stripping it. The condition
or the crop is quite uneven, there being
considerable pole burn in some locali-
ties, while in others damage from this
source ia only trifiing. There is no buy,
ing of the new crop as yet, and it is not
expected to commence until after the
holidays. There is steady demand for
old leaf, however, and considering the
scarcity of these goods, business in them
is quite brisk. 1901 thinner is quite
active at prices ranging from to 12c.
