WHY MEERscHAuM is COSTLY.
American Smokers Increase Demans
and Turks Don't Furnish Supply.

The price of meerschaum. which
some four years ago rose 40 per cent,
still remains high. but importers of the
article deny that any scarcity exists.
The high price is due. they say, to the
growing demand in the United States,
where of late years there has been a
tendency among smokers to discard
cigars in favor of pipe.
Vienna is the great wholesale mar
ket for meerschaum, and most of the
supply is brought there from Con-
stantmople. On all hands 1t is com
planned that 1t is found impossible to
induce the Turks to exert themselves
to meet the growing demand, although

to an extent that overbalances the
| soil returns.
When manufacturers fear they are
! 10 demoralize their markets by over
production and consequent loss CT
profit. they 'curtail." When the labor
trust moves to increase it's returns or
TO prevent a reduction, it proceeds to
close up industries and boycott con-
Germs. in violation of the intent of the
anti trust and interstate commerce
laws.
When the Almighty smiles on aeri-
culture and the farmer reaps abund-
ance. his prices are driven into the
earth while the cold storage man
sweeps up the surplus and preserves
it for quadruple profits when drouth
and storm and frost and pests and
other things beset the farmer.
If YOU are kicking at the farmer as
the author of your big store bills, YOU
had better take another meditation on
the matter.
