NEW YORK, Nov. is, 1915.

While there is possibly some reces-
sion in the activity of the leaf market
this week, the situation remains not
entirely unpleasing. The more conser-
vative merchants would prefer, if they
had the ordering of the matter, that
the resumption of activity should be
gradual. They are not desirous of see-
ing boom. For one thing, there is
not enough of the kind of tobacco that
is needed to provide materials for a
are in business for longer than the
present year, and the welfare OF their
customers, the cigar manufacturers,
must be considered also. And, as
things now stand, the improvement in
business generally is gradual. 1t is not
likely that there will be sudden sweep
of any one type Of domestic tobacco
such as took place in Pennsylvania a
few weeks ago.
The demand for Wisconsin binders
continues unabated There are still
some transactions in Pennsylvania, and
some Ohio has changed hands. But,
with the certainty that the 1915 crops
cannot be relied upon to furnish as
much tobacco as will be needed for
next year, the leaf men are perfectly
willing to see matters take their course
and to watch the gradual absorption,
in a natural and normal manner, of
their present holdings. 1t is becoming
increasingly certain that sound old to-
baccos are more valuable in comparison
with the 1915. This is true of all types
of domestic leaf.
s. The Shadegrown producers of Con-
necticut are meeting with much diff
Guilty in getting their new crop sorted
aud baled. Lack of hands is the cause.
This week one of the largest concerns
in Connecticut is trying to get girls to
go from New York to Connecticut to
work in it's packing houses. 1t now has
about one third as many people at work
as it needs. All of these concerns, if
they were contracted ahead, could
make contracts now to cover every bale
they have produced. But for reasons
that have been previously explained in
the Tobacco Leaf, they would vastly
prefer to wait until the tobacco has
been baled before offering it for sale.
Sumatra. - Withdrawals from bond
continue heavy, and importers say that
a fair business is being done for this
time of the year.
Havana Continued reports Of heavy
buying, of the sort referred to in last
weeks market letter. come from Ha-
vana. This buying is being done by
large manufacturing concerns princi-
pally, though Havana commission houses
are also said to be doing good mail
order business. 1t is not unlikely that
American importers and manufacturers
will visit the island a little earlier than
usual. Prices are working higher for
the types most in demand. Leaf.

NEW YORK, May 18.-Yoic-
ing the readiness of the nation to
cope with any International prob
lem which may arise, and yet ad-
herring to his theme of humanity,
President Wilson yesterday after
noon stirred great gathering Of
naval officers and civilians to an
outburst of patriotic sentiment.
The spirit which brooded over
the river, with all the great At
lantic fleet lying there for re-
view, said the president, was that
"the force of America is the force
of moral principle; there is moth
ing else she loves and nothing
else for which she will contend.
Want No National Lands
This is the inspiring thing
about America" he continued.
"She asks nothing for herself
that she cannot ask for all hui
manity. We want no nations
property; we question no nations

honor. We stand selfishly in the
way of no nation"
Everywhere the president was
enthusiastically welcomed. De-
spite drizzling rain, tremendous
crowds were out to greet him,
and constantly they ran up to his
carriage to assure him of the
support of all Americans In this
crisis. He was plainly touched
at the tribute.
Praises Daniels
To the enemies or Secretary
Daniels, the president spoke d.
rectly. He said that his secre-
tary had his full confidence, ad-
miration and unqualified sup
port; and that he knew the serv-
ice had been brought to a true
standard of efficiency through
him.
When I think of the flag
which these ships carry" said
the president, again referring to
the fleet in the harbor," the only
thing of color about them, It
seems to me that see alternate
strips of parchment on which are
written the right Of liberty and
justice and the strips of blood
spilled to vindicate those rights,

FLEET
OFF TO
CRUISE

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The
president said goodbye to the
fleet today.
The departure of the warships
was the most spectacular event
of the entire review.
President Wilson first reviewed
the fighters from the deck of the
yacht Mayflower, which was an
chored adjacent to the statue of
Liberty.
Steaming at 10-knot clip,
each ship fired the presidential
salute of FL guns as 1t came
abreast of the Mayflower.
The Mayflower with the presi-
dent on board put out to sea this
afternoon en- route for Washing
ton.
Great crowds witnessed the re-
view from the shore.

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and Eat
Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine.
The pores of the skin are also a mean
of freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work, they be-
come weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts: put a tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink
before breakfast, each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
