BETWEEN SEASONS
FOR TOBACCO NEWS
Kennedy Sure Scyenty.Five Per Cent
OF Crop is Good Color and
Good Quality

There is very little news to give
this week in tobacco circles. The
present crop has all been cut and
housed and is now being cured.
We know that we have a splendid
crop of tobacco, but just what the
general character and quality is we
can't tell until after it has seasoned
out, then come in case, and the
colors have set. This cool windy
weather is not good while the firing
is going on. and ii would be better
to have milder weather with more
moisture, but we are hoping for
better firing conditions before long
Three-fourths of the crop we know
is of good color and good quality,
although we have not been able to
give ii close inspection. This is
a between season period when very
little real information can be given
and we will have very little to say
about the new crop for the next
several weeks.
The association has made some
sales this week of hid. tobacco and
Independent packers have sold some
small lots also. Most of the sales
were common to medium leaf selling
at II to Is cents, but quite a sprinkle
of better stock was sold at 25 cents,
but the better grades are becoming
very scarce. The bulk of the un-
sold stock is made up of low and
common leaf and lugs. and is in the
hands of the Planters Association.
A few lots of old lugs have sold this
week at prices ranging from 1-2
to cents.

Repairing the streets of the city

Traction BOndholders
Protected, Says Expert
Wrong to Brighten People by
Talking of Scrapping City
Lines. Specialist Insists

A wave of selling among holders Of
underlying bonds of the traction COM
panies of the greater city has been
caused by the recent declaration by
Mayor Hylan that the present surface
lines and elevated roads should be
scrapped and replaced by busses and
additional subways, according to Will
liam Carnegie Even, specialist in
these securities.
"In my opinion" he said, at is
Fundamentally wrong to frighten the
people who own these securities with
talk of 'scrapping the surface and ele-
waited lines without at the same time
telling the simple truth, and that is
that these bonds, in the main, are first
mortgages on real estate, rights Of way
and rolling stock, worth intrinsically
more than the face value Of the mort
gage, and that they must be given con-
sideration in any reorganization which
takes place in the future.
81 have repeatedly told holders Of
the bonds of the street railway and
elevated lines who have come to me in
their distress for advice about their
securities that they are bound to re-
celve consideration in any financial re-
organization of the companies which
may take place. | would like to repeat
that message to those who have allowed
themselves to become alarmed because
of the wild and loose assertions that
these lines are to be scrapped. In my
opinion, the street railway and elevated
lines will continue to accommodate
their daily quota of passengers during
the lifetimes of any present holder of
the bonds"

Ontario Gold Output Grows
Big Profits in Silver Mining
This Year
Special DisputoI, to The Tribun


MONTREAL, Dec. 9.-The feature of
the Ontario Department of Mines re-
turns for the nine months ended Sep
tember 80, 1921, is the growing impor-
tance Of Ontario's gold mining indus
try. Provided the output for the last
quarter equals that of the third quar-
ter, says the report, Ontario's gold
production for 1921 will be approx
mately s13,87o,O0o, and with the pre-
MUM added S15,2OO,O00. Not only does
Ontario lead the Canadian provinces
in gold output but it is quite probable
that this year Ontario will have pro-
duction exceeding that of California.
Cobalt advices indicate that the value
Of silver produced up to the end of
1921 from Cobalt and the surrounding
districts will reach an aggregate of
close to s20O,OOO,000. Total dividends
from the silver mines will exceed $685.
100000, and with the treasures con-
tanning surpluses which combined with
disbursements actually made show a
net profit of more than So per cent of
the gross yield. This is an achieve
ment without parallel in the history of
any other metal mining area.

u. S. Chamoisette Glove
Trade Killed by Germany
Representative Littauer Tells
How Wartime Industry
Was Wiped Out

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. - German
competition has wiped out one Of
Americas S wartime industries, the man
ufacture of chamoisette gloves, former
Representative Littauer, of New York
City, testified before the Senate Finance
Committee in urging a higher rate on
this class of goods, which is manu-
factured from cotton.
Mr.. Littauer said the American man
ufacture of this article began after the
World War started, and in 1917 the in
dustry was turning out 100000 pairs
annually. The peak was reached in
1918 with 15,600,000 pairs. German COM
petition, beginning in 1919, he testified.
cut the total for that year to 10000
and for 1920 to 100000 pairs. Finally
the manufacture had to be abandoned
last summer, when German imports
reached $4,000 dozen pairs monthly.
Charles c. Ormsby, of Waterford,
N. T., a manufacturer of the fabric
from which the gloves are made, said
his factories were being closed. due
entirely to imports from Germany. He
gave it as his opinion that even if the
manufacturers of the cloth furnished it
free to the glove makers the latter
could not compete with German manu-
facturers, as the cost of the glove man
ufacture in this country exceeds the
total cost of the making of both cloth
and gloves in Germany

Negotiations Of Several
Weeks Of No Avail; Now
Owe 22,OOO,OOO Pesos;
Huerta May Come Here

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 8 (By The AS
sociatcd Press) Heads of American
oil companies who recently visited
Mexico have been in direct cable com
munication with President Obregon for
several weeks, seeking reduction Of
taxes as provided in the DEGREES of last
May and June, but have been told this
was impossible at the present time,
President Obregon made this known to-
day in talk to Mexican newspaper
men.
He also disclosed that American oil
companies owe the Mexican government
more than 22,000,000 pesos in back
taxes, dating from July last to the end
of November.
The ntimation was given that the
agreement of Secretary of the Treasury
De La Huerta with the oil men was
tentative and expired December rs, on
which date a new understanding must
be reached.
President Obregon declined to COM
ment on Senor De La Huerta's decision
to abandon his proposed visit to New
York in connection with financial
affairs, but in official circles it was
rumored the Finance Minister had
been reconsdering the matter and un
less a definite arrangement is reached
by cable by Monday he will depart for
New York, probably Tuesday.
1t was asserted by the newspapers
to-day that the American oil men prob
ably would come to Mexico City the
latter part of this month on matters
concerning a new tax agreement.
