Temporarily, the effect will be bad,

these will soon be adjusted. and, to
our mind, the cotton manufacturing

1t il of course. Impossible for any
pean war will have on the tobacco
business We know that If there
should be a continuation Of trouble
prices of leaf tobacco will be seriously
affected. The temporary withdrawal
from the markets Of the Imperial and
Export companies hurts things to start
with. as they are large buyers OF our
bright tobaccos. We are not informed
at this writing as to the plans OF these
foreign corporations. 1t may be that
they will arrange to continue buying,
as they doubtless could arrange to
store their purchases on this side OF
the waters until the troubles pass on
the other side. However, the question
Of shipping purchases may not be the
only trouble.
Ot course. the withdrawal OF tho I'm
periai and Export has a depressing
effect on other buyers, and we do
not expect rapid movement OF the
crop until definite arrangements are
made to handle 1t.
The fact Is we are nll In the dark
Just at this time. We will simply
have to exercise patience and wait
FOR future developments. We cannot
