MR.. MARTIN is MODEST
Says 500 Takes No Credit for Securing
Rates Aqreed Upon,

Says 500 Takes No Credit for Securing
Rates Agreed Upon.
w. L. Martin, freight traffic manager
of the 500 road, has returned from a trip
to Buffalo and an inspection of eastern
agencies. He attended the meeting of
lake line representatives and reports that
there was no controversy about the pro-
posed rates. The 500 takes no credit for
securing the rates which were in effect
last year.
Although the freight situation has been
greatly relieved in the east, Mr.. Martin
found that the boats at Buffalo, Cleveland
and Chicago were loaded to their capacity
and were ready to make their initial voy-
ages yesterday, which was the time the
insurance began. 1t is probable that for
some time there will be more freight than
the boats will be able to handle, but in a
few weeks the congestion will be relieved
to such an extent that there will be little
delay in freight traffic.

'"rho American tobacco trust, In q
skillful wcll-planned manner. secured tho
output Of cigarette tobacco III order to
meet It's Increased demand for raw to-
bucro BY buying. not only In The markets
OF producing countries. but In tho chief
STAPLE markets. Tie warehouses are at
present empty. and prices for the cheaper
1unlltes have risen 20 to 30 por cent. It
cannot. however, be asserted that the
American purchases were made for pur-
poses Of speculation or for controlling the
market OF the world. They appear, on
the other hand. merely to have been TO
cover tho trusts enormous demand. SO
far as the German product Is concerned
the cheaper qualities were bought. but OF
the American crop. the denrer kinds we're
purchased.
''While 1t Is hardly planned to make
the German raw obucco market depend
cnt luon American interests, still the
domestic Industry foels keenly the de-.
flcency In raw rnateriul and tho en-
hanccment or prices. The market for
cigar tobacco has felt the Influence Of
the trust to lesser degree. OF course.
tho trust completely controls the raw
tobacco supply for Havana cigars.
a''The trust began operations In the Ger
man cigarette market with the purchase
Of the factory of George A. Jasmatsi. Of
Dresden. Mt the beginning Of 1901 Since
then It has succeeded in increasing Its
business fully 50 per cent. In order to
create large market for its products
the trust operates with liberal, rebates,
but there Is nothing unusual In this
method OF doing business, apart from
the fact that rebates are given even for
small quantities. On the other hand, It
appears not to be free from criticism
that the trust delivers l,20O cigarettes
whenever thousand are ordered Eur
thermore, It has developed system OF
bounties which IL strongly disnpproved
In German business circles. We believe
the trust intends to try to secure control o.
the entire German cigarette market. but
there Is nothing to indicate that 1t Will
soon succeed. The German cigarette In
dustry Is strong enough in capital and
technical equipment to take up the fight
against the trust"
