QUEEN AIDS ROYAL
PURSE BY SHREWD
ANTIQUE BUYING
Helping to Make Up Loss
Incurred by King
During War.

WINDSOR, England. March 20
Since King George ascendcd the
throne Queen Mary has purchased
various objects OF antique art vary
ing from old colored prints to Chip
pendale chairs. that cost her wei
under $4,000.
These purchases are today worth
$4,000, partly owing to the general
rise in prices, but even IL there had
been no such increase the queens
purchase would have been worth at
least three times the price she paid
for them. for she Is as good 1uoge
of the value of old furniture ana
other antiques as any dealer IN
England and can buy as cheaply as
any.
The late Sir Guy Laking. a mem
ber of the celebrated hrm OF Chris
ties and who held the once OF
Kings armorer. once told Her MA
jesty that IL ever there was rev.
olution in England and the King
lost his throne and fortune ne
would pay her $4,000 a year 10
value for his firm.
The Queen, a few months ago. de-
cIdede to turn her talents to ac'
count and to start in business as
dealer in antiques.
OF course she could not DO s.
openly. but that fact does not great
lly hamper her. She does all her own
buying and settles herself the price
that each article is to be sold Al.

Queen Acquires store.

She ACQUIRED the lease stock and
good will OF a dealer in Windsor
1t came to her knowledge that the
dealer was in financial dificulties
and was about to sell his business.
She decided to offer him $4,000 for
it and sent Miss Shirley. her retired
dresser, to negotiate the deal.
Miss Shirley went to the dealer,
told him she had heard he wanted
to sell his business, asked him what
he wanted for IL, and stated that
she wanted the business for herself
Il want 5000" said the dealer.
The dresser clinched the bargain
then and there by paying $4,000 in
cash as a deposit and two days
later the business passed into the
hands OF Queen Mary. Her Majesty
arranged to keep the dealer as her
manager at a salary OF s25 a week
plus 2Is per cent commission on
/ sales and to continue to run the
business in his name.
Since she purchased the business
Queen Mary has actually sold the
stock she purchased for $1,000 more
than she paid for the whole busi-
ness, including the good Will and
lease.
Her majesty recommends the
shop to all her wealthy friends and
her recommendation Is making the
shop a veritable gold mine.
Few people know that the Queen
is the owner Of il. but even IL by
this time several people are begin
ming to suspect she is the fact at
tracts them to buy there rather
than ieters them from doing so.

Visit. shop Daily.

Her majesty visits her shop al
most daily when at Windsor. This
excites no comment among the
townfoIk because Queen Mary has
been a regular patron OF the shop
for several years: but nothing
would make them believe that the
Queen had become the owner OF ii.
Even IL her majesty put her name
on the shop doubt IL the Windsor
town folk would credit that the
Queen had really become a dealer.
But her manager knows II and has
good reason for adnirinE. as he
does. Queen Mary's wonderful as
tuteness in buving and selling.
One OF her recent purchases was
six Louis XIV drawing-room chairs.
She picked them up at an inn in the
New Forest for S325. and week
later sold them for $3.50.
For the most part the Queen buys
either from people who are uot aware
of her identity or who, IL they were.
would have no hesitation in declin-
ing her offer IL il was not satisfsc-
tory to them.
Her majesty reckons to make S25.-
600 out OF the business this year.
But she is looking forward to max
ing much more than that, her object
is to make s125.000 per annum. and
she hopes to be able to do that in two
or three years time.
In prewar days that was the sum
that the King was able to invest
any year after meeting all expenses
Since 1917 his majesty has not been
able to save a penny. 1t is the
Queens object to establish a busi-
ness that will enable her to put by
every year the same sum as the King
was able to save in prewar days.

HOT WEATHER
DELAYS TOBACCO
Dry Conditions Past Few Weeks Has
Retarded Planting of This
Years Crop.
By w. B. Kennedy

The movement of loose tobacco
has been very light again this week.
This is due to the hot dry weather
condition and farmers being busy
with farm work. However prices
have been very firm on all grad IS.
Especially is this true of any grade
of tobacco with merit The offerings
have been light and the quality gen
orally poor. Some medium to good
leaf sold at prices ranging from 25
to 2S cents, but the bulk of the sales
were of the low and common grades
selling at to 10 cents. The good
common to medium grades are scarce
with prices ranging from ~ to tS
cents. Lugs were firm with prices
ranging from l to cents.
A number of our larger buying in
terests that have been out of the
market for some weeks re-enter I'd
this week and buying has been
heavier in the country than for some
weeks. Most of the buying however
was of the low and common grades,
which make up the greater part of
tho unsold stocks. While buying OF
the low and common grades has been
general in the district, there has
been considerable buying of the good
common to good crops. However
the percentage of good stock is very
small. :. The fresh demands for the
common grades we hope will con
tinue and that the market may act
more freely now until the crop is
disposed of.
The extremely hot and dry weather
is retarding the planting OF this
years crop. Farmers have their
land prepared and with good
season the intended crop will be
planted. Plants though are becom-
ing overgrown and every day that
planting season is put off, makes.
conditions that much less favorable
for the new crop, as oyergrown
plants are not so good as the more
stalky smaller plants, but if we can
have a good season soon, the crop
will be gotten out. Farmers have
prepared their lands with more care
than for a long while, and every
effort is being made to raise a good
crop, and there is plenty of time
for the growing and maturing of the
crop. The only handicap now is the
lack of a season and the danger of
plants becoming overgrown.
Indications are that the 1920 crop
will be some later In winding up than
we expected. The inferior quality,
low prices, and unfavorable weather
conditions being the cause. When
we have another good season, farm
ers will be busy with planting, but
no doubt we will see a heavy move
ment of the old crop.
