foreign markets came about through
consultations with foreign producers
and manufacturers. The principal
companies acquired by the american
Tobacco company abroad were the Og-
den company, Limited, and the I'm
perlal Tobacco company, both of which
were British companies, but did large
business in other quarters of the world
Control of the Imperial Tobacco COM

American company, Mr., Harris said
and later the Ogden and Imperial TO.

0srAND1NG BY RoosEvErr,v

Among the very mixed results of
this months elections one thing stands
out rather clearly The national ad-
ministration is no longer the per-
vasive factor in local affairs that it
used to be. There are few quarters left.
In which an appeal to stand by Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is accepted as sub
stitute for arguments on the merits of
the issues. A congratulatory telegram
from Kentucky to the White House
put the Republican victory In that
State on the old ground and another
from Chairman Woodruff credited the
capture of Brooklyn to the same mag
netic force, but the recovery Of Gin
cinnati by the Cox machine could
| hardly be considered a tribute to tho
power of the administration. The vot-
ers In New York, New Jersey and
| Rhode Island did not respond in over
powering numbers to the appeal to
stand by the President, and the Re-
publicans of Massachusetts, owed MOTH
ing to anybody but their enemies. The
| music of the administrators bugle
horn in Cleveland did not seem ia be
worth 10000 voters, or even one vot-
err, per blast Some Republican orators
! in San Francisco told their fellow
citizens that they ought to vote the
machine Republican ticket to please
President Roosevelt, put the returns
did not show that their advice had
been followed to any great extent,
and the fact that the President sent a
letter to Mr.. Heney heartily congrat-
ulating him on the result indicates
that as San Francisco voter he would
not have stood by Roosevelt in a
partisan way himself
The people of each State and local
ity seemed to have kept their eyes
pretty clearly on their own local in
terests and to have voted according to
their own Judgment, without consider
ing how their action would be regard
ed at Washington. The results as q
whole were rather satisfactory, fol-
while President Roosevelt, with all his
temperamental independence, would
have felt delicacy about advisins
anybody to scratch Republican tick.
ct, the plain voters had no hesitation
in picking out the men they though
could serve them best wherever their
names happened to be on the ballots

The POPULARITY
OF CARNATIONS
Florists Expect to Produce
Five-inch Flowers
Soon.
PRICE GROWS WITH AGE
These Flowers Are Now in
the Orchid and Violet
Class.
PRICE GROWS WITH AGE

A talk with leading florists estab-
fishes these facts: Carnations will
have vogue this winter likely to
put their previous popularity in the
shade; they will be larger and hand
somer than ever; they will not be any
cheaper.
Possibly the price will climb, al
though persons who recollect very
well paying at the holidays last year
$5 to SIS dozen for the choice varie-
ties are inclined to doubt this. The
florists explain that for flowers, as
for butter and eggs, the price is regu-
lated by supply and demand and that
the demand in Manhattan this winter
for fine carnations will probably be
far ahead Of the supply
Not very long ago, when the best
carnations were sold for so cents a
dozen and the finest Of these meas
ured less than two inches in diameter,
florists had not the least difficulty in
filling their orders. In no sense could
the carnation be called a leader. But
as soon as growers began experiment
ing to get larger blossoms and choicer
colors and the results captured prizes
and caused much praise at the differ
,ent flower shows here and in Canada
end the new style carnations began to
be talked about in drawing rooms and
to appear in the retail florists, win
dows at greatly advanced prices, the
public promptly took notice and that
part Of it given to buying choice flow
eds clamored for the finest carnations
and would accept nothing else.
The carnation had achieved the
distinction Of becoming fashionable
Therefore last year. instead of being
put. far down on the list of best SELL
ers, it was in the class with roses
violets and orchids At Easter the
big white carnation rivalled the lily.
At Christmas the rich red variety, was
almost as popular as red roses and
fetched almost as high price. The
indications are that the same thing
will be repeated for the next few
months. The carnation thrives only
in cool weather.
The larger growers are diligently al
work preparing more surprises fol
the public; for the carnation, they
say, has not by any means reached
the full measure of its possibilities
The prophecy is made that it can ant
will be grown much larger ever
though the extra growth Is gained a
sacrifice Of scent; and there is dan.
ger of this. At any rate a wholesale
florist took this view which, however
was contradicted by grower whC
pointed out that the three and one
half inch in diameter varieties shown
last winter retained all the natura
pungent fragrance Of the smallei
kinds. But fragrance or no fragrance

not far distant, we shall have fivt

pay well.
