Seizure of Havana Bales Made on
Suspicion.

William B. Coughtry appeared at the Gus
tom House yesterday as special counsel for
the importers of the 10S bales OF Cuban to-
bacco which were seized on Thursday by the
customs officials at a storage warehouse IN
West-st- He said the importing firm was both
reputable and responsible and courted the full
est inquiry into the importation He was In
formed that there charge against the
firm at present. and was told that there would
be a reappraisement OF the tobacco TO ascertain
If there had been either mistake or fraud in the
classification.
In the circumstances" Mr.. Coughtry said
later, I'VE must wait until the appraise
ment discloses some charge or the absence OF
one. We welcome an inquiry. The tobacco in all
bales imported from Cuba is mixed, part wrap
per and part filler. and 1t Is sometimes difficult
TO classify bale II there has been any mis-
take in the bales seized suspicion 1t will be
rectifed do not understand that there is any
charge of fraud against the importer"
The seized tobacco was imported through the
port of Tampa, Fla. and the customs officials in
New-York have noticed that there has been an
increase in the amount of Havana tobacco COM
ing to this city by way of Tampa AS the freight
charges greater in such case. the officials
have suspected that there was a system by
which much of the tobacco sent by way of
Tampa classified wrongly as filler tobacco
in order to save money on the duty charges.
Filler tobacco is dutiable at about 80 per cent
! less than wrapper tobacco. When n bale con-
/ tains less than - per cent of wrapper 1t has
been the rule 10 classify il as all filler
Officials at the Custom House said yesterday
! that while there had been suspicion Of exten-
sive frauds in the importation of Havana to-
! bacco by way OF Tampa there was no proof at
present and the officials could make no charges
There would be new appraisement, the off,
cials said, and ii possible that 1t would not
disclose more than a pardonahle mistake in
classification. For that reason IL was said, Col
lector Stranahan would not disclose the name
of the importing firm.
Washington. Aug. 25.-Regardng the re-
| ported seizure at New-York of 1OS bales of
| Havana tobacco which had first been entered
| and duty paid at Tampa as filler, Assistant
| Secretary Reynolds of the Treasury Department
| said to-day that the entry at Tampa and sub
sequent shipment of the tobacco might or might
not be an evidence of fraud. After the duty
had been paid at Tampa, he said the owners
had a perfect right TO ship the tobacco to anv
| point they desired. but such a proceeding was
unusual.
He added that he had instructed the Collector
at New-York to seize the tobacco If he found
on examination, that there was q marked DIFF
ference in the quantity of wrapper tobacco
4 found by him and that reported at Tampa IJr
! 10 this time, however, Mr. Reynolds has received
| no report of the seizure and has no knoWledg gf
OF what the New-York examination disclosed
He is Of the opinion that only part OF the
shipment is in question.

READING COMMON ACTIVE.
Laoson Predicts Impending Break
IN Copper Market.

The first half hour Of trading was an excit-
ing period yesterday on the New-forR otoch
Exchange, with Reading common again the
leader advancing 2A points to l24%' ana then
dropping to 120A. 2Ss points under thursday
final price. The market opened strong, but as
Reading began to move swiftly upward the fears
of a corner were revived, and heavy selling OF
the general list set in. which carried prices
down about two points lower. Lawson added
certain amount of impetus TO the decline by
sending out telegraphic prediction of an I'M
pending break in the copper market.
1t was said on the Exchange that much of the
selling of tho list was on orders from the bucket
shop interests. whose customers operate on two
point margins. as a rule. AT the low level heavy
buying set in. probably representing covering
Of short contracts. and a sharp rally resulted
During the greater part of the day the market
was dull. and the great majority or the issues
closed lower than on Thursday.
Edward Wassermann, of Wassermann Broth
ers, who has been especially prominent in the
bull movement in Reading common says OF the
reports OF a corner in the stock:
To the knowledge of our firm there is no in
tention Of anybody making corner In Reading
and as far as we concerned, II there was
such a plan on foot our firm would, under no
conditions, be a party to 1t. We have bought
preciate its value and II anybody thinks that
Reading is too high and wishes 10 sell II short
he will find a ready market on which TO buy his
stock back with prott or loss. Every Dooy
knows which corporations hold the bulk of
Reading stock. and with the absorption OF q
great part of the floating stock by investors the
stock has naturally become scarce AS far as
we are concerned willing to lend the
Reading we hold at the money rate, and we Will
not call any stock loaned, unless we need 1t to
make deliveries. in case we shall have selling

President of Santa Fe Railroad Replies to
Recent Criticisms.

Chicago, Aug 25-Mr. E. P. Ripley. president
OF the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
system, replied to-day to recent criticisms Mr.
Ripley said:

pany is getting or could get, anything out Of
the oil that moves through the Standard Oil
Company's pipe lines, but unfortunately for us
II is not true The Santa Fe company has not
derived benefit of any kind direct or indirect
from the advent of the Standard Oil Company in
the Kansas field. The statements made regard
clusions drawn therefrom, are absolutely false
except as TO certain changes in weights and
rates, which were proper and justifable and
were not made either for the benefit OF the
Standard OIL Company or in collusion with It.
The fact is that the Santa Fe company never
had any oil traffic In Kansas OF any conse-
