Defeat At Hands OF Oahu

Honolulu, however well the Hawaii
teams showed up with the Keios. The

practice and despite the fact that
picked teams here play usually worse

the first game by a score Of 3 to |.
and then came back on Sunday, and
walloped them most awsomely, by a
16 to 3 score. Williams pitched the
first day, but was out of the DO on

The Saturday game was played In
drizzlC of rain. Williams pitched for
both teams. That is. Johnnie vii.
liams was in the box for the local
bunch, and Williams of Spalding fame
pitched for the Moohcaus. Two or.
rors at left field on the throw In in
the second allowed the Oahus to score
a couple of runs, after some hot hit
ting by Lyman and En- Sue. The
Mooheaus made their only run In the
fourth, when Bill Desha, formerly of
Punahou, singled. stole and came
across the pan on wild throw from
Johnnie Williams to first.
The All.Oahu team came In strong
again in the 9TH inning. when Bush
nell and Olmos hit. and the former
beat II home on TOdds bungle.
This game gave the public to believe
that there would be something doing
when the Mooheaus got over their sea-
sickness and other ills of the voyage.
and got down to work. But the Moo.
hcaus hit earth with an awful bump.
Two pitchers couldn't get together the
necessary form. The locals piled up
fourteen hits. The victory is told

VIRooUA, Wis. March 4, 1908

The three large warehouses are now
employing crews of workers, somewhat
small at this writing. but the number
will probably be increased within the
next few days. Farmers are bringing in
their crops for delivery and there is al
ready feeling of something better in
the atmosphere among the business men.
While the prices are lower than was
hoped there is at least an end to the
feeling of uncertainty that was felt
among the growers, they now being in a
position to tell where they are at. With
the help of outside packers, it is believed
that greater part of the marketable to-
bacco will be contracted for within the
next few weeks.
Bright and early Monday morning
buyers for the American Tobacco com
papy made tracks for the rural districts
to contract for this seasons growth OF

to carry on their operations with great
caution and discrimination. In fact,
growers of every section profess them
selves to be puzzled by the attitude of
packers, who making 40 'clean sweeps"
in any section, are contenting themselves
with packing an individual crop here
and there, which seems to them to be
less defective than the average.

NEW YORK March z. 1908.


The February returns of the output of
our cigar industry in our leading manu-
featuring districts show again consid-
erable decrease in comparison with the
output of February year ago. These
decreases following each other success
sively for the past four months are truly
distressing. And yet there is some &C.
tivity prevailing in the leaf market, and
price-cutting to boost business is rather
the exception than the rule. Trans
actions are reported of fair size lots in
high grade leaf, particularly of Wiscon-
sin, and the price is stated to have been
normal one This may be, as high
grade types are deficient in the 1907
crops and manufacturers who wish to
hold their trade are evidently convinced
that they can do SO in period of re-
stricted consumption only by offering a
better cigar. In boom times almost any
thing will 60. Dealers are then not par
ticular 10 regard to the composition of
the goods as long as they can be plenti-
fully supplied and the price is not raised
on them. But when the consumption is
retrenched the appetite has to be st;n-
ulated, not only by cheapness, but by
quality. Hence it is but logical that
even in falling market certain types of
leaf should command price cores
ponding to their intrinsic merit Low
grades naturally are suffering more
under these conditions and they have
therefore become the object of price
cutting. In them trade is slack and
dragging. Nor has trade revived per-
ceptibly in Havana leaf Exceptional
lots of quality tobacco are finding a
ready market. But as for the bulk,
manufacturers seem to hold off in the
expectancy that this years crop promises
to be a normal one in quantity and in
quality superior one to at least OF the
two previous years crops. In Sumatra
trade seems to be slackening, too, on ac-
count of the nearness of the opening of
this years Inscriptions. Here, too, the
expectation is for cheaper leaf. But
whether it will share the quality of it's
usefulness with its immediate prede-
cessors remains to be seen. Journal.
