ALBANY AND PROHIBITION
RECORD MADE IN ONE OF THE
TOWNS THAT WERE POINTED
TO AS rum SOAKED"

Considerable interest attaches t.
the workings of prohibition in Al.
bany. That was one of the cities
referred to by travelling evangelists
of the Sam Jones type as rum
soaked" 1t had, we believe, forty
saloons, consumed considerable guam
titles of liquor itself and shipped out
very much larger quantities for the
benefit of the country round about.
1t was generally believed that pro-
hibition would be a death blow, al
most, to Albany for some time to
come; that liquors would be shipped
into the city in large quantities, and
that the moral effect of the law would
be comparatively slight.
But such apprehensions prove to
have been poorly based. Albany
seems to have thrived under prohibi-
ton, or at least to have suffered no
more from current business depres-
sion than other cities OF its size.
And as to the consumption of liquors
the report of the mayor would seem
ingly establish it beyond question
that there has been a tremendous
shrinkage in the drinking capacity of
the people His report of the work
done in the police court, over which
the mayor presides, is one of the
most succinct and most convincing
arguments in favor of prohibition in
a small city that we have yet seen. |
While We have never favored sump-
tuary laws of any character there can
be no question that in some places
it has worked decidedly to the adj
vantage of sobriety, tc the lessening
of disorder and of crime, and probaz
bly, to the financial benefit of the
public generally. But here is the
story of Albany, clipped from the
mayors annual report. 1t needs no
commentary. 1t tells its own story
quite forcefully:
THE duties connected with this
department during the present year
have not been as arduOus as in other
years. This, l think, has been large
ly due to the existence of the prohibit
ton statute.

FROM SHOCK OF A PHONE

now to the question of seed for this
years tobacco crop. In addition to
choosing the type of tobacco to De
planted this spring there is much talk
of more extended printing than in the
past year. Growers who followed the
priming method last season, that of
plucking the leaves as they ripen, found
it profitable.
1t is probable that there will be some
addition to the acreage now devoted to
shade-grown tobacco. This depends,
however, largely upon the action at
congress on the tariff question. Should
the duty of S1.85 per pound be removed
from Sumatra wrapper, it is doubtful
that any grower in the Connecticut val
ley would have courage to go into the
highly expensive shade tobacco raising.
The past year has been encouraging to
the shade-grown advocates. First quail
ity shade-grown tobacco sold as high as
So. 90 per pound. The possibilities OF
profits being as great as S1.40 per
pound, since it costs only so cents per
pound to grow, shade-groWn tobacco
has awakened the Pennsylvania tobacco
planters. The Pennsylvania state de-
partment of agriculture has developed
a seed adaptable to the climate and soil
of Pennsylvania, and the shade-grown
industry will be pretty well launched in
Lancaster county this season.
The market continues rather quiet,
with prices somewhat improved. 1t is
estimated that the percentage of to-
bacco in growers hands in the Connec-
ticut valley is fully as small as it was
at this time last year. N. E. Home

Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. %, 1906

The past week witnessed no tendency,
even of revival of the local leaf to-
bacco trade, nor of a changed condition
for the better in the cigar industry.
The sales of old leaf were so small as
to be hardly worth mentioning, no large
sale, whatever, having been reported.
The cigar industry continues just as
dull as it has been for such long per-
iod, and many hundreds of cigarmakers
are out of employment Most of the
factories that are still operating report
being overrun with applications for
work
The growers are still rushing the new
crop to the warehouses, many of which
are very busy places nowadays, en-
ploying a considerable number of men.
The uncontracted-for crops are being
rapidly gathered in, and in very little
time all will have passed out of the
growers hands. New Era.

NEW YORK. Feb. "a, 1909.

The local market has been bare of in
terest this week, no transactions in
domestic tobacco worthy of note having
been reported. The fact that the fac
tories are reporting dearth of orders
probably has something to do with this,
for the cigar industry is certainly in no
mood to lay in heavy stocks just at
present. The leaf men, however, con-
tent themselves with the assurance
that if there is anything like normal
business in cigars this year the supply
of leaf that is available will not be any
too large, and that sooner or later they
will dispose of their holdings at rea-
sonable profit. In almost ali the grow
ing sections the buying movement is
still going on at reduced gait, the
reason being that the major portion of
the crop has passed out of the farmers
hands. In Connecticut it is stated that
certainly not more than 25 per cent OF
the crop remains to be taken, and this
is probably larger proportion than re-
mains unsold in any Of the other cigar
leaf districts. The growers have not
as yet shown any disposition to pack
their own tobacco, and this is probably
a wise move on their part because pre-
vious attempts have not proven profit
able to them. Leaf.

New York, Feb. 27, 1909.
Market conditions appear to be bet
ter than the general state of trade
might lead to expect. There is not only
steadier demand for all kinds of leaf
but there has been recorded also a
transaction of over thirty-fve hundred
cases, something that has not occurred
in the market since the boom period of
1906. The market is also strengthened
by the general feeling of certain rise
in prices. In consequence there is an
absence of anxiety to sell for the sake
of selling and to realize. All stocks on
hand are believed to be on the line of a
price advance as soon as the cigar in
dustry gets again on the path of a
quick progress which may be delayed
yet for a short period, but is sure to
leaf had a call this week to quite some
extent and strange to say the call was
chiefly for the dark wrapper leaf grades
which sold in one case as high as IS
cents. With such prices the Florida
leaf is likely to share in the healthy re-
vival that is being commenced to be en-
joyed by all other types.

Improvement. A number of additional
hands have been taken on at the fac
tories, and while the business done is
not of q acharacter which requires hus-
tie, many manufacturers have seated a
full force. The call for goods from the
out-of-town jobbers and distributors is
steady, and statesmen now travelling re-
port business revival in many parts
of the country. Factories and mills are
now opening up and giving employment
to several thousand. Jobbers and
dealers, quick to appreciate these con-
ditions, have become liberal with their
orders, and now purchase in sufficient
quantity to carry them for O. few
months. Cigar manufacturers on this
account are beginning to work up stock
and in this way effect prompt delivery,

The buying movement is Stacking
away very materially. Possibly the
spring breakup of the country roads is
one reason for the cessation of riding,
but the American Tobacco Co. and
other large operators have pulled their
buyers out of the field entirely so that
mostly local men are operating at pres
ent. Whether the orders of local pack
ers are sufficient to clean up the bal
ance of the crop or not remains to be
seen. Prices continue along figures
heretofore quoted as shown by the fol-
lowing sales coming to notice:

Milkmen's Union.

About six months ago Chicago pass
ed an ordinance to the effect that af
ter January l every drop of milk that
was shipped into the city would have
to be from herds that had been test
ed for tuberculosis, and IL had been
shown that the cattle were free from
the dreaded disease, Or else the milk
would have to be pastueriZed before
it was sold for consumption. The
law in itself is perfectly right and
just to all concerned, producers, deal
ers and consumers, but the trouble
arises in the fact that the dairymen
thought they could get the act killed
before January /, consequently they
are now up against it. The city is
trying to hold strictly to its munich
pal laws. while the farmers in the
vicinity are trying to break them.
Eighteen thousand Illinois milkmen
have formed union to better fight
this legislation. The prices of dairy
products are nearly out OF sight. Talk
of Is cent milk and dollar butter
makes the people begin to wonder
if they had not better give the dairy
men time to at least erect pasturiz
