it Tt I Every piece of tobacco that goes into the Contract Cigar is carefully mellowed before it is sent to the maker’s bench. We age the leaf until it is full ripe so that no matter what color you choose, the cigar has a soft, velvety, rich taste. It takes time to get the tobacco fit and fit for you. It must be dried at a certain temperature to develop the flavor and fragrance just as the finest wines must be cellared into mellowness. When you think of all the care that is exercised with the Contract—the care in selecting the finest Sumatra crops for the wrapper and the best Cuban Havana for the filler—the care used at the bench, (where every Contract is made all through by, hand) the care of the inspector to guard you against a cigar which won’t smoke freely and evenly —you must acknowledge that there is a difference between a and the nickel smoke.

BWITCHMEN'S STRIKE A FEATURE Tts Effect Felt Chiefly by Floar Trade—Total | Volume of Bus- iness Shows Little | Decrease. NEW YORK, Dec. 3—~R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say tomorrow: It was hardly to be expected that the industrial and trade revival would continue all the time at the recent high rate of speed. Some slowing up, If only for a breathing spell, was natural, and this, ap- parently, is why it Is occurring, although it makes no material {mpression upon the great volume of transactlons. The unsea- sonable weather and the approach of the holiday season, and the time for settle- ment and taking of stock, Incldent to the ending of the year are in considerable part ponsible for the slightly more quiet The railroad strike in unpleasant develop- ment and its imn.edjate effects are chiefiy felt In the flour trade. Undoubtedly the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the British budget is the most important event of the week and it may have far reaching consequences, but it would be difficult to trace any Immediate effect upon the situation in this country. Of more present concern to our markefs is the opening of congress next week, with the inevitable agitation of economic and finan- clal questions, No uneasincss is felt regarding the lull now manifest In some branches of iron and steel, as it Is recognized that rzcov from past depression has been pheno ally rapid. Moreover, mills and furnaces ve enough orders on thelr books to as- re full activity for months to come and roducers generally scan specifications on usiness closely. Pressure on the plate mills have resulted from the insistent de- mands of car bullders who are receiving & steady flow of orders from the rallroads, Additional large contracts are expected Lo appear this month, and there Is prospect of a shortage in shapes and plates.

NEW YORK, Dec. morrow will say: Trade reports show rather more irregu- larity, varying with sections reporting. In seasonable retail lines there is a renewal of the complaint of warm weather affecting sales of wearing apparel, while the switch- men's strike in the northwest, causing shut- downs in industry, are responsible for quiet trade. In purely holiday trade rather more activity is noted, jobbing trade is good for the advanced stage of the season and de- liveries on spring orders are good. In industrial lines there are few signs of slackening, aside from instances above or below noted. There is some fear that the switchmen's strike may extend eastward. In the iron and steel trade there-s some slight season- able slackening of demand for finished lines of steel, following the lessened activity in pig iron, but production and shipments are |very large. Leather fs firm, but hides are in better supply and weak or lower.

NO REHEARING FOR WALSH Circuit Court of Appeals Denies New Trial to Convicted Banker, SUPREME COURT ONLY HOPE NOW Defendant is Placed in Custody of United States Marshal Pending Completion of Appeal to Higher Body. CHICAGO, Dee. 3.—Another avenue of escape from serving the sentence of five years' imprisonment In the Leavenworth federal prison for misapplying the funds of the Chicago National bank was closed to John R. Walsh here today by the ruling of Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker in the federnl circuit court of appeals, deny- ing him & rehearing in that court and re- fusing to continue the ball under which he has been at liberty since the sentence was pronounced. After the sentence was read John R. Walsh, opce the head of three banks and the owner of a number of rallroads, and a prominent financial factor in Chicago was taken Into custody by Deputy United States Marshal Edward Northrup. The custody is “‘speclal custod, A dep- uty marshal will accompany Walsh wher- ever he goes, but will not necessarily place him behind barred doors for the present, at least. Arguments will be made next Tuesday on a motion of Walsh's counsel to reopen the case, to present further reasons why the mandate should be stayed until appli- cation can be made to the United States supreme court for rellef. The denial of the motion for a rehearing leaves Walsh without other recourse than the supreme court of the United States to stay the execution of the sentence com- miting him' to five years in the Leaven- worth federal penitentiary. The court de- clined to admit Walsh to ball, but per- mitted him on his motion to defer the be- ginning of the sentenco pending the ap- plication to the supreme court, meanwhile placing him in the custody of the United Statos marshal The action of the court was based on the precedent created by the Morse case when the New York financler was com- mitted to the Tombs pending his appeal to the supreme court instead of being sent to the federal prison The John R. Walsh case, in wiich the ruling of the court was announced today, has heen in different phases prominent be- the public since the three Walsh anks—the Chicago National bank, Home Savings bank and the Trust company—were closed Dec: 1805. An indictment containing 152 counts was voted against Mr. Walsh January 9, 1907, a federal grand jury charging him with misapplying funds of the Chicago National bank while he was its president. In November of the same year his trial began before Judge A. B. Anderson in the federal district court. January 18, 198, a verdict finding him guilty on fifty-four counts of the indictment was returned by the jury. Loans on Memorandum Notes, In the trial repeated refererce was made to “memorandum notes,” for large amounts, signed by minor employes of the bank and secured by bonds and other collateral of rallroad companies con- troded by Mr. Walsh, on which money was advanced by the bank.
