Ohio cigar leaf has begun to move,
not at the prices so long hoped for,
but at price at which some are will

so far this week. Large sales have
been made in the vicinity OF Eldorado.

How much did they get? Mostly
fifteen cents, we are told, with one or
two exceptions, and that for prime
crops. In many instances the IBID"
has been as low as ten cents, and
twelve cents was the top for months.
Not all who sold received fifteen cents
as some inferior crops were taken in
at twelve cents this week
We have spoken of rather large"
sales made near Eldorado, but an
analysis does not show that very
large percent has been disposed of

from $50 to 200 cases have been sold

little more than per cent Of the crop

also said that but one member of the

AGITATION

Market.

While price agitation ran a poor
second last week in effecting an un-
settlement of business, its effects
have become increasingly apparent,
not 8 omuch in disclosing ordinary
business as in restraining specula-
ton and depressing retail foodstuffs
In the leading market futures have
suffered most heavily, cash corn,
hogs. and steers selling at new re-
cord high points.
Price Shading Frequent.
Price shading in the primary mar
kets has been frequent, and manu-
facturers and jobbers in many lines
question the wisdom OF further ad-
vance. Greater caution has develop
ed. How permanent the price re-
form will be remains in doubt
The urgent need is for stabiliza-
ton, followed by gradual dehation
of prices. If public cutlery can ini-
tiate the downward movement it will
have served very useful purpose
Demonstrates Power.
The strike OF shopmen demon
strated both the power to disrupt
business which the railroad en-
ployes possess. and the opposition
which a general strike at public ex-
-pense would arouse Wilson's mes
sage treasured the business com
ntunity and extended no hope TO the
shopmen Of achieving their ends by
arbitrary methods. While the strike
holds a place in the foreground, il
does not promise serious consequ-
ences. even should the railroad en-
ployes become impatient with ex-
ecutive delay in meeting their de-
mands.
Ground For Optimism.
Business indexes suggest ground
for optimism amid all the labor un-
rest and price unsettlement Against
these must be set the certain in
crease in freight rates that would
follow new cycle of wage increases
and the numerous strikes which re.
strain activity at many points. The

improvement. Liquidation in the
stock market has eased call money
