ing doing in connection with the handl-
ing or buying of the new tobacco crop
Everything is waiting the coming OF fall
rains. There is, however, some move
ment in cured leaf of the O6 and O7
growth, mainly from growers hands,
amounting in the aggregate to several
hundred cases. Two lots of '06 have
changed hands during the week, the S.
e. Simonson & Co. packing at Deerfield
of 346cs, and L. p. Hoyum, Toes to Rose
& Wobbe of New York. OF the OF, /. L.
Wentworth sold 78cs lot to Culton q
We'll. A. Jenson & Sons purchased Toes
'O6 of Ole Geland, 47cs of r. L. Page and
2Scs of Trulson & Anderson. II. L.
Sweeney bought 33cs of S. G. Chambers
and 32cs OF James Golf. Antoine Onsrud
sold 20 acres in the bundle for an export
account. Prices for the 07 rule around
9 or 10 cents. These transactions indi-
cate better demand for cured leaf but
the market does not yet seem willing to
pay the asking price of the holders OF
the large. lots of O6 who can hardly be
expected to weaken now that business is
slowly regaining its normal proportions.
The shipments out of storage amount
to 64Ocs for the week past to all points
from this market.

the 1908 crop in York county, paying
around and cents.
The market in 1905 and 1907 goods

NEW YORK. Nov. Ia. 1908.


There is constant stream of news
items in press dispatches and reports on
the perceptible revival of all kinds of
business since the election. Idle fur
naces are being lit up, closed factories
reopened and thousands upon thousands
of idle men re employed, not to mention
the boom that is sweeping over the
stock market. Even the trade in the
most expensive luxury, diamonds is re-
ported to have taken on new lease of
life and of importing again millions
worth of precious stones to meet the
reawakened demand. The only stag
nant spot. however in this general re-
vival turmoil seems to be the leaf mar
ket. While it appeared last week that
the leaf market would also share in the
beneficial results of the election, the
activity this week seems to have come
to standstill again. But this unpleas-
ant condition should cause neither sur
prise nor anxiety. AS pointed out so
often in this place, it has been the invar-
liable experience after every panic that
the leaf market was always the last to
recover from it as it was the last to feel
it's effect. The prospects, therefore, are
that after the wheels of the revival are
| in normal motion III the other trades
| they will also propel along at good
speed the activity of the leaf market.
Besides, the season for the market is
| somewhat advanced too far to feel just
now the effects of business revival.
The cigar factories are just now too busy
| with their holiday trade to spare the
time for leaf investments, and the holi-
day activity with them came too late to
| make advance preparations for larger
| leaf supply. But with satisfactory
| holiday trade they will be in condition
to enter the leaf market in the new year
with more liceral spirit to stock up. In
| the meanwhile the market should exer-
| else caution in it's own investments. 1t
| should remember that a too premature
| buying of crops at advanced figures is
| neither justified by present conditions
| nor by immediate prospects. The cigar
industry after the sufferings and losses
| of this year cannot afford to pay the
| boom prices Of 1905 and 1906. Packers
should, therefore, be guided by wise
restraint in their campaigning for the
crops. For the market is not yet over
the decentralization caused by the ex-
travagant figures paid for the 1906 crops
and it is still sick from the undigested
sfois de gras" of the 20 and % cents filler
/ prices journal.

Connecticut valley Tobacco Market.

The recent damp has afforded growers
a good opportunity to handle the tobac-
co and the greater part of the crop has
been taken down and stripped. Owing
to the warm weather the tobacco has
gone into the bundle in fire shape and
will show up to the best advantage on
inspection. Not many transactions IN
the new crop are reported, but there
have been several sales of hail-cut at a
considerable advance on former prices.
There is quite brisk demand for tobac-
co OF the 1905 crop, while there have
been some sales of the 1907 at around Ia
cents per pound Buyers are displaying
considerable interest in the new crop,
but growers are holding out for stiff fg-
lIres.

buyers holding off because the prices de-
manded are too high. The growers will

acknowledge its degrading and de-.
basing influences The principal
reason for being in the business is the
money there is in it, and because tits
an easy business to start. Brewers
and distillers will back almost anyone

Mr.. Winner Talks on Statement
Number One.
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
folly believe that a good many Of
the voters Of josephine county living
In remote sections do not understand
the real parposes OF statement No. 1.
It Is a fact generally conceded that the
trusts and corrupt poll ical combines
are widely engaged in the very profit
able business Of entering our state
legislatures and buying the election Of
chosen hirelings to pose at Washing
ton as United States senators; and
that these men draw their salaries
as such; but at the same time re.
ctive a much larger sum Of money
from their corrupt clients, the Doodle
trusts. to do their bidding These men
so employ cd will not allow congress to
pass constitutional amendment de-
claring for tho election.of U. s. sena.
tors by direct vste Of the peop'e. A
republican legislature in this state has
passed the primary law and statement
No. by which a majority OF the
voters of the state may at the June
election select the man ON their
ranks whom they want for senator and
they may also elect as members Of the
legislature such men ss have declared
that they will vote for the man who
receives majority of the peoples
suffrages. This removes the office OF
senator from the auction blsck at
Salem
Now as matter OF fact the man
who refuses to be thus guided by the
peonles wish is not in favor Of the
people elscting the senator, but takes
the narrow view that his duty to his
party is greater than his duty to his
country-his party before his country.
II has been hiuted by those opposed to
statement No. that the people are
not competent to thus select the U. S.
sena ors; we'll, admit that the things
we have allowed the rotten parties

Good Cough Medicine for Children

The season for coughs aud colds is now at
hand and too much care cannot be used to
protect the children. A child is much more
likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever
when he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance Of many
mothers, and few OF those who have tried il
are willing to use any other. Mrs. +. +.

The Cost Of o Saloon.

It is estimated by Carol G. Wright
that the average American saloon costs
$500 Der year. This only the money
ysloe How sbout the other cotsf
The saloon takes in young men in the
pride Of life. What kind OF young
men does 1t turn outi Money goes
into tho saloon in quantities, day after
day; strength and respectability, and
deoency and youth and promise and
hope 20 in-but no ono Of them comes
out. The saloon swallows and bank
rupts them all. Nothing comes out but
drunkards. Take the biggest and best
conducted saloon in any town, after
30 years Of business, and figure up
what has come out Of 1t Of value to
the community-the answer is always
and inevitably, "Nothing!" A more
unproductiye business never existed or
can exist than the saloon business.
Oklahoma. ss q progressive and pros
porous state, has wiped 1t out wisely

And Josephine county is going to

will the decrease in revenue from
SALOONS increase taxes? At first glance
it would appear to be a self evident
fact that taxes will be higher, but let
us see for moment The figures for
j Josephine county show that the saloons
bring in about $4,000 and cost the
county in prosecutions, care Of paup'
ers, etc. about $3.50. Kansas City,
Kansas In one year reduced the cost
of its criminal court $4,000 after the
saloons were closed up. With the 81.
looms gone business will increase, bank
deposits will increase, population will
increase and the assessed valuation will
increase so that the revenue from sa.
looms will soon sink out of sight in
the increased revenue from legitimate
sources. Don't be led away by the
liquor interests. II other towns have
gone bankrupt without saloons, why
do they keep up the losing game? !?
Has Ashland, which has tried both
ways gone to the dogsf Has Eugene3
has Woodburnf
Have you noticed that real estate
men never advertise the saloon in
their town. But if the saloon is not
in that town just notice how they ad-
vertise its absence. And the reason is
obvious The best people do not
want to raise families where there are
saloons which are doing all they can to
counteract the good influence Of
church and school and home.
