New YORK, April "a, 1909.

Business in the leaf market is drag
ging along at snail's pace. Reports
from other trade centers are of the
same tenor, the complaints being gen.
eral about slackness of trade and slow
ness in collections. The expected re-
vival has evidently not materialized as
yet. Nevertheless the trade need not
lose it's courage in it's boots. For the
Internal Revenue returns for the month
of March show an increase of forty
millions and a half in the output OF
large cigars, the largest increase yet
recorded for any month of the current
year. As the increases in the cigar out
put have been steady for each month
of the current year, the general howl
about trade slackness must sound rath-
er strange Of course, market condi-
tons are not up yet to the boom craze
of 1906, but then such streaks of phe-
nomenal trading and price advances are
In the end more hurtful than advant-
ageous A steady business with legiti-
mate profits would seem to be always
preferable to sporadic rushes and tenn
porary depradory gains. Whatever
stock is now on hand is selling grad
ually and at firm figures.
There is no appreciable improvement
in the cigar market. While several fac
tories are well ahead with orders and
see clear road to the expected boom,
the reverse condition rules and the line
has been drawn tighter than ever be-
fore at this time of the year. There is
very slight advance in the call for
1O-cent brands and no other redeeming
feature in the general tone of the mar
ket. Nickels have weakened some
what, but that is but passing lull, the
bottom grade still finding the bulk OF
the business. journal.

LANCASTER, Pa, April 20, 1909.
The local leaf tobacco market runs
on lines even with the cigar industry,
these days. AS the manufacturers need
goods they buy, and this is the only
trade the local packers have had for
months, outside Of very occasional
sale of old goods in bulk, and some of
these sales were from one Lancaster
packer to another The receipts of the
Ninth Internal Revenue District Office
for April to date show quite a good deal
of business, but there is room for vast
improvement.
The majority of the growers have
their seed beds made, and with. such
weather we have lately had they will
develop fast. New Era.

THE sugar imported from Cuba is
raw. It is imported by the trust. BY
the time it is refined and reaches the
consumer, the price is j;lst as high as
it was before Cuban reciprocity. The
trust gets its raw material chespar,
sells at the same old figure, and 'ye--
cts the difference. The money
out of Cuban reciprocity shouh
in the treasury or in the pockets 81
sugar consumers. Not a dollar OF i1
gets away from the trust. Suppose we
admit sugar free from all duty, IS the
sugar trust now wants, would the con-
sumer come any nearer getting his pro-
duct cheaper after the domestic pro-
ducers were wiped off the field? This
is a proposition to study over.

Some of the farmers report good
stands of plants on their seed beds,
while some others have but lately sown
their beds and cannot as yet report the
presence of the little two-leaved plants.
But with favorable weather conditions
I think we shall be able to report some
early setting of the crop, and with real
good weather / doubt not that the to-
bacco plants will be transplanted about
the usual time of such work.

Omaha had the bases filled in the fourth
Inning, but the best Slugger Bill could do
was TO strike out.

WEIGH was out OF the game for a little
rest, but his place was ably filled by Hol-

years WEIGH has missed a game.
It's worth the price just to see old Hans
Gonding slug 'em out.

Glidden Cars

Fine Days Run is Slightly MARRIED
By Two Slight
Accidents.

MANKATO. MINI, July l9.-(SpecIal Tel
egram)-The shortest. and by far the most
enjoyable days run OF the Glidden tour so
tar was from Minneapolis to Mankato to-
day, a distance of l2 miles. The roads, ex-
cept for their dusty condition and a few
spots where they were being improved.
were In almost perfect shape for touring
purposes. Notwithstanding this. two acct
dents happened to non-contesting cars.
In the first the pilot car, the studebaker
e. NJ. FIG, in which Chief Observer Reeves
was riding, bent a steering knuckIe. re-
pairs were made at a blacksmith shop and
the car arrived here late this afternoon.
Howard r. Reynolds, a Boston newspaper
man. was thrown from one Of the stude-
baker press cars and landed at the side OF
the road. but was not injured. Later, the
same car broke a part Of one of its springs.
but repairs were made and the car con
tinued in the run. Both the Brush runa-
bouts were withdrawn from the Hover
trophy contest today. The COMPANY tele-
sraphed the Withdrawals to the officials.
II gave as a reason that the time schedule
was too fast for cars of only seven horse
power. One of the runabouts had already
had l,25l points marked against II. This
makes four Withdrawals from the Hover
contest, the other two being the Hupmobile
and the Mcintyre buggy. The Brushes will
continue as non-contestants.
While avoiding John S. Williams in a
Pierce-Arrow runabout. the Maxwell press
car turned too far out at the side of the
road and struck a deep hole almost as
large as the diameter Of the wheel. A
steering knuckle was bent, but repairs
were made on the spot.
The more careful Of the contestants are
not taking chances on the conditions of
gumbo roads. as shown by today's run.
The Pierce-Arrow cars took blocks and
tackle aboard this morning at Minneapolis,
while the Premier and Marmon entries
were similarly equipped here this afternoon.
Tomorrow's run may bring about some Of
the bad conditions that have been foretold.
1t is 1886 miles. and the running time is
6:5T. Advices received by some of the con-
testants this morning before the start said
that some OF the roads between Fort Dodge
and Council Bluffs are eight inches under
water. The tourists were entertained this
evening by the MankAto Automobile club,

CLEVELAND, o. July 9.-Cleveland and
Boston broke even in the first double
header of the year, Cleveland winning the
first game, 6 to L and Boston the second,
8 to 2. Cleveland won the first game easily,
Young outpitching Chech. Collins, a cof-
lege pitcher, replaced Chech and did good
work. Balls playing was a decided fea-
ture. He made an unassisted triple play
In the second inning and when he came
to bat in the same inning, he hit for a
home run to deep center. He had three
more putouts than either the first baseman
or catcher. The second game was easy
for Boston.
Balls triple play came in the second in
ming after Wagner reached first on Brad
ley's error and Stahl hunted safely. With
three balls and two strikes on Mcconnell,
the hit-and-run signal was given. McCon-
nell hit a single line drive over second
that looked like a safe hit. Running be-
hind the base, Bell caught the ball, put
ting Mcconnell out. He then touched sec
ond, retiring Wagner, who was on his way
to third. Stepping off the bag, Ball re-
tired Stahl as he ran up to him. Score,
first game.
