It is rather significant to find at the time of the publication of the September issue of the Merdh ants' Association Review in which Mr. Pitt sets forth hie conclusions that lengthy and intelligent communication is published in the Manila papere from a large New York firm who are in a position after many years experience to pronounce an opinion as to the quality of the oigars exported to the Staten While the need of improving the grade is olearly emphasized, it is pointed out that the Philippines can produce as good a cigar ne is made in the States and the producer in the East should be in a position to undersell the manufacturers at home on the better grade of goods
