New Organization VIII Take Over the
+. L. Manchester Produce Com.
pany Whose Capital Stock Is
Gone and Liabilities
Amount to Over
S2O,OO0.00

Some time ago It became generally
known that a great loss had been suf-
fered by the e. L. Manchester Pro-
duce Company, dealers in and ship
pers of live and dressed poultry, eggs
and all kinds of produce. The direc-
tors of the organization employed an
expert accountant to so over the
books of the company I and at
a report was made public showing
that besides the loss of the entire cap
ital stock the company now faced liza
bilities over twenty thousand dollars
A meeting Of the stockholders was
again held yesterday at which time 1t
was proposed to organize new COM
pany to take over the concern and
save 1t from the rocks. Directors
were elected and after considering
the matter carefully the directors
have come to the conclusion to or
ganize a new company and give the
present stockholders of the E. L. Man
chester Produce Company an oppor-
tunity to purchase the new stock.
The directors this afternoon issued
the following official statement in re-
gard to the present situation the
stockholders of the corporation find
themselves in and in regard to what
they propose to do in the future:
"At the annual meeting of the
stockholders of this corporation the
report of the Audit of the books for
the fiscal years 1917 and 1918 was
read. The financial statement shows
| that the Corporation has suffered big
loss, the entire capital stock is gone
and in addition there are liabilities
amounting to over $2O.OOO.OO with as
sets of approximately s11,OOGOOO.
Motion was made, seconded, and
unanimously carried: that the Direc-
tors be instructed to liquidate the e
L. Manchester Produce Company and
that the stockholders of the f. l.
Manchester Produce Company be
given the first privilege of buying
stock in the new Corporation and that
they be given a ten day option In
which to subscribe for stock in the
new Corporation and twenty days ir
which to make payment for same

TOBACCO Price
WILL NOT SHOW A
SLUMP, ,ED|T0RSAYs
Hiram Duley Believes White Burley
Has Reached High Price
to Stay There.
The Flemingsburg Times-D Democrat

The Flemingsburg Times Democrat
says:
Many people think that the high
prices now prevailing for Burley to-
bacco will result is an over-produc-
tion and consequent slump in price
next year, or the ensuing year. But
a careful survey of conditions as they
exist shows this to be improbable. In
the first place the opening up Of the
markets of the world by reason of
the close of the world war will open
up avenues of trade that have been
closed and enable the world to get
what they want, and the demand
shows that they want Burley tobac-
co Again, the census Of the tobacco
on hand in the hands Of manufactur-
ers and dealers is far below the
stocks held year ago, aid this, by
the law of supply and demand, justi-
fies the high range of prices. Then
the idea that one or two crops can so
! increase the stock Of Burley as to
cause a slump in the price is mis-
taken one. In the first place the ter
ritory suited to the production Of the
White Burley is limited. It would be
impossible for the territory to be eX-
tended to any considerable extent.
They do raise some of 1t in western
Missouri, but so far they have not
been able to produce it like the Ken
lucky Burley product In the Ken
lucky Hurley district it would be diff
fcult to increase the acreage to any
very great extent. 1t costs heavily
to build barns and provide shelter for
the proper handling of the crop.
And the labor question must also
be reckoned with. So, we conclude,
there is no likelihood of any disas-
trous slump in Burley prices for some
to come. True, the high figures Of
fifty, sixty or seventy cents may not
prevail, but a range of twenty-five to
forty cents would make the farmers
rich in few years, and we see no
reason for its decline below the twen-
ty-five cent figure. 8-.
