LOS GRINGOS.'

Probably very few people who have
heard the Mexican people call Americans
"~gringos" have any idea If the origin cf
the nickname. Many believe that the
word implies something insulting. This
is a mistake. While il may he used by
Mexicans in a spirit of prejudice. and
whl II Is doubtless true that very few
of our Trans Rio Grande ~ncighbors have
the remotest idea themselves of the
origin Of the NAME. yet il is said that the
word in its earliest application bore no
such meaning. The McxiranS are very
prone TO the use of nicknames. Almost
AS soon as they become acquainted with
anyone, they will pick out SOME peculiar
ity, if any there be, 10y which they will
straightway deAominate him.
1t was away bach ia the time Of The
war between the United States and Mex
leo, when General TAYLOR and General
Scott, with their armies invaded Mexico.
that the name "grinpo' came To be APP
piled TO Americans by Mexicans. The
Old song Green Grow the I.uShcS. Oh
was in those days the most popular song
among the soldiers aud wherever they
marched in Aztec land. their voices were
heard singing:
Green grow the ruslcs. OIL
Green grow the PUSHES. oh,
Green grow the PUSHES. OH
Give her a kiss and let her go,
Thus the word green grow" came 10
be associated always IN the minds of
the Mexicans with the American soldiers
and the name "eringo' was evolved. The
name has continued 10 he applied To the
American and probably W. shall always
be known in Mexico a. los grineoS,'
but il should not be- thought that the
term Is intended necessarily "a imply
anything unkind. Ii Is merely "A nick

EDGERToN, Wis, Nov. q, 1914.
The buying movement of the new
crop is being conducted along very con-
servative lines. While buyers have
been riding the growing districts quite
extensively during the week, the
amount of contracts closed are singu-
larly out of proportion to the effort
made. There are some indications
present that the movement is Stacking
away. Even the larger operators have
their orders cut over that of former
years that their acreage will soon be
secured. The tobacco is still hanging
in such dry condition as to preclude
much inspection of it's merits so far.

The movement of cured leaf, except
in the eastern markets, has relapsed
into small order business on manufec-
turers' orders.
Growers are anxiously awaiting a
season of casing weather so they can
start stripping.

exceed 300 cases from this market to
all points since last report.

NEW YORK, Nov. q, 1914.

Activity in the leaf market is keep
ing up with unabated vigor. But while
the volume of business speaks for the
healthy condition of the trade, con-
dition healthier than in many other
lines, complaints are being heard that
the increased volume of business leaves
smaller profits than smaller volume
did last year. The profits in our do
mestic leaf have been cut down by the
extraordinary rates paid to the farm
er and the incidental war expenses in
the war risk insurance and transpor-
tation costs and in the new taxes i'm
posed by our own government are cut
ting deep into the profits of the i'm
porters of foreign leaf. The market
is also beginning to worry not only
about the outcome of the new domestic
crops but still more so at the advanced
prices at which investments have al
ready been made in the housed new
Connecticut and Wisconsin crops. The
market seems therefore to be worried
more about the prospects than about
it's present status. However, as long
as business remains as active as it has
been since the fall, it would seem rath-
er preposterous to borrow trouble in
advance Nor should it be forgotten
that the stringency in the financial
market is likely to be easied with the
established working of the Reserve
Banks and that easier and ampler ac-
commodations are awaiting the trade
for an expansion of their business. If
money ceases to be tight both the pur-
chasing and selling power of the mer-
chant receives renewed stimulus for
self-exertion. Journal.

LANCASTER, PA, Nov. II, 1914.

Somewhat better conditions prevail
in the cigar trade now than week
ago. No boom is in sight, but the
manufacturers have been encouraged
with more orders than had come in pre-
viously, and they are for a class of
goods that will give some profit to the
manufacturers.
The packers have had plenty Of in
quiries for old goods especially 1913,
but the outside inquiries balk on the
prices, although these are not high.
Another rain, though by no means a
heavy one, dampened the hanging to-
bacco little, but before it can be han
died it will need spell of wet wealth
er. The growers themselves say the
new crop has cured nicely and that the
tobacco is a good burner and has good
color Very little has been stripped,
and none has been sold. Apparently
the growers have made up their minds
not to put price on their holdings
now, preferring to wait until the crop
is stripped, and undoubtedly in the ex-
pectation that they will get better
prices later in the season It's pretty
nearly settled fact that the growers
believe they will get 10 to II cents for
this years crop, regardless Of the gen
eral condition of the market. Those
who grew Havana Seed are very likely
to get nice price for their crops, bu.
with the Broadleaf it is likely to be
otherwise.
