Paonessa Believes the | elimination of several traffic posts about the city showd be given seri- | ous consideration 4pd although '!4“] wéuld not say without thorough in- véktigation that there are any at' present covered mnecdlessly, he has found fhat other cities have eliminat- ed posts without endangering traffic, The ntayor reeently atténded the auto show in New York city and in motoring to the metropolis noticed that several busy corners that had been guarded by a traffic man at| other times were without a police man.

ABUNDANCE OF TOBACCO BRINGS PRICES DOWN | Near East Market is Glutted With Product Making the Demand Shight . Athens, Jan. 15.—~The bumper to- bacco erop, common to all tobacco- growing states in the Near East, is | proving a serious. drawback to ll!c‘ prosperity of this region. ‘ The Indications are that the world | market for the type of tobacco pro- duced in the Near st formerly designated as “Turkish,” is giutted | with the product, and its absorbing | capacity is today greately limited, un- | less producers In Turkey, Greece, Macedonia and Bulgaria are willing to accept much lower prices than | they now demand. Turkey and RBulgaria have each from this yeur's crop alone about 60,000,000 pounds of leaf, and Greece has abput 120,000,000 pounds, chiefly rajsed in her. Macedonian possessions, | All this tobacco is for the manufac- ture of cigarettes one, In the| United States, for fhe purpose of manufacture, it is blended, chiefly with Virginta. It might possibly be used for fler in the praduction of | cigars, but that is still a question. | The impracticability of manufac- turing cigars out of “Turkish” tobae- co was simply proved in Bulgaria a few years ago, when an effort to bulld up a cigar-making Industry of native tobapcco proved a flat failure, | "“Turkish” tobacco does not passess a sufficiently large and tough leaf for the wrapper of a cigar. That is why the demand of American and western Kurope for Near Kast tobaceo Is| Thmited. i Tobaceo in the Near East bears| about the same relation to its pros- perity that cotton bears to the pros- perity of the southern states of the T'nited States. Tobacco Is prodpeed even mora cheaply In the Balkans than cotton, is grown in the south, But it will not sell this vear at anything like the figures for which the producers of the Near East are | holding out. The fallure to sell the | crop at the beginning of winter al. ready is exerting an unfavombly in- fluenee on Balkan finances. 1ot George Do It Little Ada—Mother, shall 1 run out and post this letter? “No, child, certainly not.
