Big Tobacco Plant Contemplated.

The business men and real estate
owners of Maysville should in every
way possible aid in securing the big
plant the Continental Tobacco Com
pany contemplates erecting here. 1t
will mean the beginning of new
era for that city, from a commercial
and industrial standpoint. The size
of the plant may be judged from the
fact that the company has to go to
the Sixth ward to find a lot large
enough for the proposed buildings
alone will cost about $4,000. The
site now under consideration is the
large lot between second and Third,
near the old Cooper brick yard. The
company very wisely wants to in
terest local capital in the enterprise,
and 1t seems that people desiring a
safe and profitable investment
should jump at this opportunity. At
any rate everything possible should
be done to secure this immense
plant.

Distributfve trade continues quiet at
most markets, and April trade the
country over has not equaled a year
ago. The absence heretofore of the
usual volume of spring demand is de-
pressing to dealers, who fear they
will be obliged to carry over surplus
stocks. Signs of improvement are,
however, to be noted in the northwest,
where better weather has helped re-
tail and wholesale trade. Pacific coast
trade and crop advices are better than
Of late, and while the weather and crop
conditions are backward at the south
the exceptionally strong position of the
leading interests renders the outlook
for the future very helpful Backward
weather has retarded cotton planting
and spring wheat seeding, while crop
termination and growth are generally
reported slow the country over.

cities and the Pacific coast.
