CONFERENCE LEADS
 TO UNDERSTANDING
 IN CHARITIES WORK
Charities Organization Soc iety Shall Not Make Off
 cial Investigations.

Following a conference last even ing between committees representing the Charities Department of the city and the Charities Organization socie- ty. it is expected that more harmoni- ous relations will exist between the two bodies. At the meeting last night a definite understanding was reached that the Charities Depart ment of the city will conduct it's own investigations, and that the Charities Organization society, may take up the work of rehabilitation of poor famiI- ies after the city investigation has been completed.
 There appeared to be no friction between the members of the Charities Organization society and the Chari- ties board, the misunderstanding having arisen among the attaches ot the department and of thea society The committees agreed to follow this plan and to instruct their staffs ae- cordingly.
 The Charities Department was rep resented by President F. w. Behren. and Father Mathew Judge, commis sioner. The Charities Organization SO ciety"s committee included Rev. Joh1 i R. Brown, W. R. Webster and AIber
 B. Lavery.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Nov. 26, 1915.
Several days of damp weather during
the week brought the hanging leaf into
condition to stand close inspection, but
not quite far enough into case to be
taken down. Buyers have been can
vassing the growing districts in all sec
tions of the state and it is generally
understood that number of purchases
have been made, but at what figures
or from whom we are unable to learn.
In old goods there is nothing to re-
port, but some pending transactions
will undoubtedly result in sales and will
be reported next week.
The shipments out Of storage do not
exceed 500 cases from this market to
all points since last report.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 1915.

Activity in the leaf market beats all
records for the present season. The
demand for all types of leaf remains
unabated. The brisk movement in Wis
consin binder and Pennsylvania filler
leaf keeps up steadily. The manufac-
turers are doing we'll in getting as
much supply Of these types as they can
because prices are bound to advance
and the replenishing Of them from the
new crops is very discouraging. AS
are at hand and it is years since the old
stocks of Pennsylvania were coveted as
they are now. The wrapper types, such
as are available, are not begging Tor
customers either. The Sumatra supply
is rapidly thinning out and the new IN
scriptions will find almost bare mar
ket. AS for the Havana leaf the de-
mand continues likewise steady. The
depletion of the old stock is reflected in
the Cuban market where livelier
movement has set in for the new REM
edios. If the reports published from
Cuba to the effect that the tobacco
raisers in the Vuelta Abajo district
have become too poor to set out a nor
NAL crop, are substantiated, trading
in old factory vegas is likely to exceed
by far the normal average. Altogether
the activityin in the leaf market responds
to the general activity reported in all
commodities all over the country. The
complaint now is the shortage of ship
ping facilities as the railroad lines are
doing an unexpected freight business
which was curtailed by the lack of sup
ply of freight cars on account of the
depression inflicted upon the railroads
during the past few years. Journal.
