Surprised and frightened by the steady

Many Lawyers Looking
For Suave Cigar Seller

The Spanish cigar salesman, smiling.
suave. and of mellifiuous voice, has
been among the denizens Of the Evans
building recently. and there are numer-
Gus lawyers today viewing boxes Of
cigars with savage eyes and reading up
the law of false pretenses.
1T Is a periodical attack of bargain
hunting in tobacco, and the unhappiness
following thereon is also periodical.
The salesman had with him a box OF
most excellent cigars, Havana all the
way through, take-one- from the middle
and-try-it cigars.
They selected one and were lost. It
invariably was in good condition and
tasted good. They bought, paying what
the salesman could get. AS soon as
the cigars dried out they were desolate
failures. Various office renters paid
from 81 to IS for identical boxes Of
cigars.

GOVERNMENT ESTIMATES WILL
BE MADE THURSDAY.
announcement Will Bring Much Trad
Ing and Wide Price Range May be
Seen.

New Orleans, Dec. S.-There will
pr0oapiy be but two events Of i'm
portance this week in the cotton mar
ket One will be the census bureau
report on ginning up to the end Of
November, to be issued at g. O'Clock
New Orleans time, Monday morning
and the other will be the crop esti-
mate by the department Of tine agri-
culture which will be issued at
o'clock Thursday afternoon. Natur-
aliy' the estimate will. be Of more
Importance than the ginning figures
and the trading of the entire week
can hardly help revolving around it.
AS opinion stood at the end Of last
week, the census report will be bear
ish. The trade expects something
around 100000 bales. While this
is smaller than the amount turned
out the corresponding, time last year,
1t is looked upon as large considering
other comparisons. Bulls gloss this
over by stating that this is the fastest
picked and ginned crop ever known,
claim that they haev been putting
Forward for about three years now.
Bears contend that it points to a
larger total crop that the world has
been figuring on. The census figures,
especially IL they show any departure
from expectations. will be used as a
basis for a batch of new guesses as
to what the governments estimate of
the crop will be and any growth of
sentiment one way or another that
may develop in consequence will un-
| doubtedly quick influence on prices.
The market will probably be very
nervous with erratic fluctuations up to
Thursday If the signs are worth any
thing, Thursday will be a wild day
on the exchange with heavy trading
and possibly, wide price changes.
Up to recently the bulls were con-
vinced that the governments estimate
| OF the crop would be below $4,000, 900
bales. but private estimates this last
week have shaken that somewhat.
AT the same time, it is generally
acknowledged that the tendency of
the government to under estimate the
! crop should be taken into consider
alton. AS sentiment now stands, an
estimate commencing with thirteen
| caused an advance for $4,000, 600
! bales, and over would favor the bears
| since the estimate viii not include
iinters and the short side Is bound
10 allow for the habit OF under esti-
| mating, no matter hat claims are ad-
vanced by the bulls.
