DREW SUITCASE YIELDS NEW CLUE Police Say Girl in Troy Mystery Was Murdered in City
 and Later Carried
 to Pond. SOLUTION NEAR AT HAND Long .Scarched-for Suit Case Found in Railroad Station---Ioolslng
 for the Person Who
 Checked IL.
SOLUTION NEAR AT HAND

Troy, N. Y., July '15.-What is con sidered the most important point yet developed in the Teal Pond murder mystery came into possession of the police late this afternoon when Coun- ty Detective Kaye found the suit case which Hazel l. Drew carried the day before she was murdered and for which the police have been conduct ing an exhaustive search, From arti- cles found in the suit case it is estab- lished, the police say, that Hazel Drew did not intend to go to Averill park on the day she was murdered and th9 theory Is advanced that she was mur- dered In Troy and taken either by car rlage or automobile, to Teal Pond, where the bocy was cast into the stag nant waters.
 There Is much to bear out this theory and 1t appears that the authori- ties are nearing solution of the mystery. In the first place the mur- | dered girls black leather handbag containing all of her money, except five cents was found in the suit case | While this find was made in Troy. De- | tectives at Teal Pond found glove | that had been worn by the girl and in the finger of 1t was a five cent piece. Conductors on all of the trol- ley cars running to Averill have been closely questioned and not one has been found who rememb ITS seeing Hazel Drew on his car. It would have been next to impossible for t'.e glr to have ridden to the park on troll ley and not to have been recognized Linking these facts together the police conclude that the girl met someone ir Troy either on Tuesday afternoon oi evening and that the murder tool place in this city or near it.
 Following up this line of investiga ton detectives are tracing every ste, of ;he murdered victim while sh was in Troy on July c. The hndin of the suit case establishes beyon doubt that she was In this city on tha date and several persons have bee found who say they saw the girl herc The suit case was checked in the In ion square station nt 1:49 p. m. July but unfortunately the clerk who was | charge of the check room al that tim is III and cannot be questioned. Tn necessity of having the clerk descrlb the person or persons who checked tn suit case is SO great that an effort vii be made tomorrow to hae the detect Ives admitted to his room so ne ca look at picture of Hazel Drew. l 1t should develop that the girl did nc ! check the case and that a man left at the check room, q great step to ward the unraveling of the myster will have been taken, and eqaully i'm portant will be the discovery that i lCnntinlnl an Third pnrn

Lancaster.

LANCASTER, PA, Jan. 16, 1908.
There has been no change in the local
tobacco trade during the past week. 1t
is said that number of small sales OF
1905 cased leaf have been made to man
ufacturers, but as no names either of
buyers or sellers have gone on record,
the inference is that the reputed trans
actions have been of the few case char
acter to small manufacturers who need
them for their contracted trade.
The trade in last years goods, which
has opened up in small way in Wis
consin, has had no Influence or effect on
our local dealers, except to set them
wondering what has become of the farm
ers' trust out there, which fixed Is and
IL cents as the price of their Grst and
second class goods. 1t seems to have
gone to pieces even before it began OPP
erations, as all the schemes contrary to
the natural laws of trade are bound to do.
In the York county courts Nathaniel
j. Meade, a cigar broker of Red Lion,
was on Saturday sentenced on prior
conviction, to pay fine of $500 and
undergo one years Imprisonment in the
county jail. The crime was using coun-
terfeit labels.
A tobacco buyer is reported to have
visited the locality of Wilton Grove in
the northwestern part of the county, of
fering 10 and 2 cents for the 1907 crop.
AS no sales have oeen reported it is
probable none were made, even at those
low figures.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Well, the ice has been broken in this
vicinity, at least, and some few crops
have changed hands during the past
week. Although sales we're at low prices,
it shows that the packers have at last
started to stock up their empty ware
houses. The price that they wish to es.
tablish is low price, for it takes less
money to handle the crop. and then
again cheap grade OF tobabco can be
assorted much more quickly than a bet
ter quality. Where the tobacco is to be
put into large number of grades the
leaves must be opened and graded ac-
cording to color, but with the cheaper
grades the sizing is about all there is to
do after picking out the filters and scrub
and trash. With the cheaper grades and
limited time more of it. can be put
through the sweat and be ready for mar
ket in less time, for the cheaper grades
almost always sell the quickest, as there
is more call early for filters and seconds
than for wrappers. [ do not know but
there is more money to be made from a
800 worth of cheap grade of leaf than
from the same amount of good high
priced tobacco, taking into account the
handling and possible damage in the
sweating process. bv fire, smoke or water

COMPLETE harmony was the keynote
of the 25th annual meeting of the New
England Growers association held at
Hartford last week. The question OF
un6cation of interests is of utmost inn
portance in New Englund right DOW,
with the last crop of tobacco but little
sold, and buyers talking pessimistically.
In view of these facts growers are ln-
clined to feel the necessity of Standing
together more than ordinarily. Tae rrl-
vention was we'll attended, around 200
growers being present. In his address,
President Thaddeus Grave of Massach-
ussetts talked upon the promising ap
pearance of the 1907 crop No particu-
larly important resolutions we're before
the association for action. However, the
Philippine question was not permitted
to 90 by without some actlon being
taken. The association .rea tiirmed it's
position in regard to opposition to any
reduction In existent tariff on foreign to-
bacco entering the United States.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 1908

The situation in the leaf market i'm
proved somewhat during the week. Or
ders were received quite freely, though
but for comparatively small quantities.
The total of such orders summed up in
some houses to quite a considerable
amount. True, nothing like the bulk
that these houses were accustomed to
sell in single transactions, but even small
favors are being thankfully received
nowadays. The important fact is that
the market is beginning to stir again and
that prices are being kept up at rea-
sonably fair rate. There is no slaugh-
tering of goods going on at cut prices.
The principal share in the transactions
took Wisconsin while the disposal of
Zimmer's was close second. Sumatra
is likewise moving in fair proportions
according to circumstances. Only in
Havana leaf the market retains it's slug
gishness.
Conditions in Metropolitan cigar fac
tories are quieter than they have been
for long time. This IS normally about
the dullest season of the year and this
year it seems to be rather duller than
usual. Jobbers and retailers all over the
country appear to be pretty we'll stocked
up, and such orders as are received are
mostly of routine nature from regular
customers. Many factories have lately
reduced their staffs and cigarmakers
looking for jobs are numerous. Box
makers report little demand and among
them there is some disposition shown to
shade prices. That things will improve
shortly, however, is to be expected

Try interesting article npon the

A VERY interesting article npon the
tobacco situation in the southern grow
ing sections, where deeds of violence
have been brought to public attention,
appears in the Saturday Evening Post
of January 18th, under the title of The
Great Tobacco War Combination VS..
Trust in Kentucky" The writer esti-
mates that the banks in these districts
have loaned out nearly 30 million dollars
on pooled tobacco, that nobody knows
just when it can be sold or at what price.
The condition is far reaching and affects
not only the banks, but the merchants
in small towns who are dependent upon
farmers, who now, that their source is
dried up are having hard time to meet
their obligations. Heretofore when the
Burley crop was taken by the American
Tobacco Co. the farmers received cash
on it's delivery. For two years. since the
growers organization attempted TO fix
the price, the farmer has been forced TO
content himself with warehouse receipts
and the amount Of money be has been
able to borrow upon it. The movement
to finance the crop for an upset price
seems to be about the end of the rope.
The very essence of the tobacco growers
antipathy to the tobacco trust is their
claim that it acts in restraint of trade by
depressing prices. On the other hand
the growers association are attempting
to do by force what they have so far
failed to accomplish by peaceful meas
ures. By a special act of the legislature
they can legally form combination in
restraint of trade which the American
Tobacco Co. is not allowed to do. These
are some of the points brought out by
Mr. Reach -.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, Wis, Jan. "a, ]


The buying movement does not seem
to gain much headway. But few firms
have interested themselves in the deal
so far and even these do not seem anx-
ious to increase their holdings Not but
what the prices are reasonable enough,
but other reasons stand in the way of a
pressure of circumstances leads some
growers to dispose of their crops at what
they can get and hence good share of
the trading is probably done by this
class. A few sales coming to notice
since last report are:
Martin Nelson, 615a at S&2c.
Thos. Thompson, 21sa at 9&2c.
Hagenson & Gilbertson, 5a at S&2c.
G. E. Hulse.her, 21sa at 8&2c.
James Fullerton, IA at 5&2c.
e. Gilbertson, 3a at 6&2c.
Il. 0. Johnsrud Ga at 7&2c.
Scarcely any improvement is noted in
the market for old leaf as yet. Both
manufacturers and jobbers are waiting
lower prices which packers are not yet
willing to concede. An exporting firm
has been in the state during the week
and has been able to secure few small
lots but at figures that are not attrac.
