New England.

I was in hopes at the close of the
month that I should be able to report
quite stir in the tobacco trade in this
locality, but my hopes like the hopes of
another class were and are doomed to
disappointment. To begin with the firms
who have abundant means at their COM
mand stepped in and bought the cream
of the crop, as they supposed, and then
drew out, leaving the balance to be
picked up by the little fellows. The
notion of the early birds getting the
largest and fattest worms, by buying
what they supposed to be the cream of
the crop, remains an open question.
Growers that have taken their tobacco
from the poles and have stripped it
lately, and of the late harvested tobac-
co, all claim that they have more than
an ordinary crop, and are jubilant when
they hear of a crop being sold that
brought as much or more than the early
sold crop.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Bradstreet, Mass: 4sThe tobacco is
nearly all down and stripped and all re-
port good fair average crop. edwin
w. Field and son have sold theiT crop
of IA tons, 800 pounds ready for deliv-
cry. This was grown on 18 acres,
nearly 100 pounds to the acre. This
crop was sold to our Mr.. Swift. Mon
tague, Mass: Tobacco is nearly all
down and in the bundle, with very little
or no pole burn and of fine quality. NJ

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 1909.
The local leaf market is being kept
active by all kinds of demands. AL
though large transactions did not occur
in any type of leaf nearly everything
sold in modest way. The filler prop
osition is now sharing the attention of
the market in common with the binder
leaf. Like the latter the filler stock is
bound to advance in price when the
cigar factories set to work again after
their January inventory. Notably sharp
will be the advance on Pennsylvania
and our repeated prediction that Penn
sylvania will reach again the boom fig
ure of 1906 is likely to be realized next
spring. All old stock in the country
districts of the 1908 crop is being fast
gobbled up at prices reaching as high
already as 17a cents as reported from
Lancaster. The Sumatra market is
holding its own, the stock selling right
along evidently for immediate needs.
But the .liveliest activity is holding out
in the Havana market. Factory vegas
have the prime call and selling at
steadily increasing figures, inasmuch as
the market in Cuba has been complete
ly barred of Partidos. In Remedies a
rise in price is likewise noticeable. The
stock in hand presents most desirable
leaf and the prospects of the new crop
are that if it is normal one and of
good quality it will hardly go off as
reasonably as this years crop.
There seems to be no end to the new
business in sight. Last week orders
came in thick and fast, many, it is true,
rush requests for immediate shipments
but good proportion the business of
iobbers and dealers who are looking
ahead for Spring stocks and wisely pre-
pare for the eventuality of continu-
ance of congestion at the manufactur-
ing end Journal

NEW YORK. Nov. 80. 1909.

Sales have kept up extremely well
the past week, all types of tobacco
coming in for share of business. One
firm reports the month of November to
have been the best in point OF sales in
two years, and many others agree that
the demand for leaf tobacco has been
strong. The inadequacy of the supply
of leaf, provided that the cigar indus
try continues along normal lines, is be-
coming more and more emphasized, and
this TACT, supplemented by the undoubt-
edly satisfactory prospects for future
business, has influenced the manufact-
urers to look to their stocks of leaf.
The result has been to give the local
market more activity in all types than
has been noted for a long time previ-
ously Sales of Wisconsin have been
frequent and some Pennsylvania has
changed hands. Houses specializing
Florida report some activity in their
line. Leaf

WISCONSIN IOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Dec. 10, 1909

The buying movement is dragging
along in about the same manner as for
the month past. Representatives of
the American Tobacco Company con-
tirue in the field and while not closing
contracts for large quantities, in the
aggregate add materially to their hold
ings each week. Some riding is also
being done by few independent buy
ers in search for better grades, for
which something near earlier quota
tions are being made. Altogether
there is no great activity noticeable.
The market for cured leaf has de-
veloped no news of Importance. A few
hundred cases, mainly of the cheaper
grades, have changed hands during
the week and there is just enough
small trading on manufacturers orders
to indicate that business is moving in
it's customary channels. The larger
trades in Wisconsin leaf have lately
been conducted in the eastern centers.
Casing weather during the week has
given growers an opportunity to re-
move for stripping as much of the new
crop as they desire and the next few
weeks will be devoted to preparing it
for the market. We have yet to learn
that any of the packers contemplate
opening their warehouses until after
the holiday season.
The shipments out of storage reach.
1897 cases from this market to allpoints
for the week.

CONSUMERS of meat in southern Wi

CONSUMERS of meat in southern Wis
consin pay profit of 40 per cent to the
retail butcher. This rate prevails in
Milwaukee especially, according to the
thirteenth annual report of Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, who gives the
results of an investigation in fifty cities
of the country. The average net profit
of the retailer in these cities is found
to be SO per cent. A schedule was pre-
pared to record the actual experiences
of retailers in buying and selling car
cass or half carcass of beef, and among
the facts ascertained were the weiyht
and wholesale cost of a certain piece of
beef, usually half carcass. Then fol-
lowed the weight and retail price of
every cut for which a uniforms orice
was charged by the retail dealer Thus
it became possible not Only TO compare
high-priced and low priced cuts, but
also to compute al eurately the total
retail price per poun1 and consumers

wholesale price per pc,snd and cost of
the entire piece had be.n reported.

1T WILL NOT WORK.

Men have a right to assemble and
to suggest candidates for office in the
name of any political party-no mat
ter what fanatics may say to the con-
trary," yells the Portland Oregonian
All, but the assembly plan fathered
by the Oregonian and some Portland
politicians does not look to the hold
ing of casual gatherings for the pur-
pose of recommending men for nomi-
nations. The idea is to restore the
convention system though under
different name. What the assembly
promoters desire is to make assembly
Recommendations equivalent to
nominations. To this end all aspir-
ants for nominations are being urged
to go before the assembly for support
Those who do so will be under obli-
cations, moral at least, to uphold the
assembly selections. Those who fail
to do SO but instead continue in the
race after the assembly has adopted its
slate will be treated as boilers. They
will be knitted and vilified just as
were the men of old who failed to line
up when the party whip was cracked.
There is nothing to it. The assem-
bly, plan looks to the undoing of the
direct primary law and to the restor-
alton of bossism. Those back of the
assembly scheme do not like direct
nominations. Under the direct pri-
mary law the politicians cannot run
things. Party bosses and workers have
no power and they resent their down
fall. In order to get back into power
they make the claim that the direct
primary law as now observed is un-
safe. They hold that the intelligence
of all the people is not equal to the
Intelligence of few politicians. The
clique that is back of the assembly
say to the republicans of Oregon,
you have but little sense, let us do
your thinking for you" How can
they expect to win on such issue?

FOURTEEN ERRORS OF LIFE.

The IA mistakes of life Judge Rem
toul told the Bartholomew club are:
To expect to set up our own stand
ard of right and wrong and expect
everybody to conform to it,
To try to measure the enjoyment
of others by our own.
To look for judgment and expert
ence in youth
To endeavor to mould all disposi-
tions alike.
Not to yield in unimportant trifles.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be remedled
Not to alleviate if we can all that
needs alienation.
Not to make allowances for the
weakness of others.
To consider anything impossible
that We cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
To live as if the moment the time,
the day We're so important that 1t
would live forever.
To estimate people by some outside
quality, for it is that within which
makes the man.-London Evening
Standard
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-12-13

1t is evident that the men who have
gone into this enterprise know their
business and propose to install as good
and serviceable a plant as money will
buy. 1t is also apparent that the
system as it is now being constructed
is but a nucleus of greater system,
and that if the Yakima country con-
tinues to grow and prosper 1t will
reach out to other districts and neigh
borhoods."
Undoubtedly the traction system of
North Yakima will result in keeping
that city the big commercial center
of central Washington. Some day
North Yakima should be in class
with the big coast cities of Washing
ton and with Spokane.
Pendleton too will become a real
city if provided with the right sort OF
traction facilities.

APPEAL TO SHOPPERS.

Springfield Republican: We have
spoken of the desirability and hu-
manity of the early buying of Christ
mas presents, and let us add the con-
else, pointed and wholly admirable
appeal of the consumers league, as
follows:
1 Buy early in the season and
early in the day.
2. Send packages two weeks ahead
marked, "Not to be opened until
Christmas"
8. Minister to actual needs. Give
chiefly to children.
4. Choose presents having either
usefulness or beauty.
8. Demand articles which have
been made and sold under conditions
fair and wholesome to the worker
6. Remember that Christmas is of
noble memory. not an occasion for
display.
