Those two giant manufacturing inter
ests, the American Tobacco Co. and the
Continental Tobacco Co. are going into
the premium business with vim that is
almost unprecedented. And what seems
to be an especial feature of the plan is
that the retailer is to be given the bene-
fit of the prizes instead of the cosumer,
as is usually the case.
The scheme of the Continental Co. is
as follows: Printed certificates have been
circulated in the trade by having them
placed in five pound boxes of plug to-
bacco containing a list of brands and
premiums. The brands which can win
are: Star, Horse Shoe. J. T., Good Luck,
Cross Bow, Drummond Natural Leaf,
Spear Head, Old Honesty, Master Work
man, Sickle, Planet and Neptune. The
prizes can be secured by saving the tags
from these brands and sending them to
the Continental Tobacco Co., st. Louis,
Mo. Fifty different premiums are offer
ed. A match box, pocket knife, pair
of scissors or brier pipe can be secured
for % tags, while bicycle. Winchester
repeating rifle, Remington shot gun or

son of the year there is little to report
from this or any other market of the
state. The few transactions coming to
our notice is the sale of $50 boxes in three
lots by G. L. Culton, and George Rum
rill of GAINESVILLE. reports the sale of LAC
cases of '9S and IS cases of the '99. He
has also made a small purchase of 65
cases of '99. A few of the warehouse
men are shipping out for sales made
some little time ago. An occasional
eastern buyer drops into this market
but from all appearances it is only for
sociabilities sake.
The prospects for the growing crop
are all and even more than could be
hoped for at this time of the year. Both
the early and late set fields have been
benefited by the recent rains and there
is every reason to believe that an abund-
ant crop is in store for the growers.
@The total shipments out of storage
reach a total of 1850 boxes and since
last report only 959 cases have been ex-
ported from New York.

All Going to the Circus

Everybody is talking about Ringling
Bros famous big circus, which is to ex-
hibit in Madison Thursday, July 26.
Several big excursions will go from this
vicinity and the popularity of the show
will insure an enormous crowd. People
from this locality should make an es-
pecial effort to arrive in time to see the
new free street carnival which precedes
the exhibition every morning at 10
o'clock. The procession is divided into
thirty enormous sections, each of which
is complete parade, and presents in it's
entirety bewildering magnificent two
mile carnival of pageantry, such as the
world has never seen. In this gorgeous
display are shown over 100 beautiful
dens and cages of wild animals 800
horses, % elephants and nearly thou
sand people, and the costumes through
out are of the finest silks, satins and
cloth of gold. The performance that
follows is the most magnificent arenic
display ever presented by any circus in
America.

New YORK, July IL, 1900.

Nothing has occurred thus far this
month to indicate that July will prove
any more prolific of business than June,
and just now there are doubts that it
will be as fruitful. A strong inquiry for
1898 Connecticut, both Havana Seed and
Broad leaf continues, but the supply of
this tobacco has been almost entirely
picked up.
The demand for 1898 Wisconsin con-
tinues active, and the price seems to be
on the advance. Tobacco of this crop,
which few months ago was selling at 10
to II cents, is now bringing from II to
II cents.
Havana-This branch of the cigar leaf
trade has been the favored one during
the week. The demand for old Vueltas
necessarily goes unsatisfied, but several
lots of Remedies have changed hands.
Probably the largest sale of the week
was one made yesterday, consisting of
about 225 bales of 1899 Remedies, I'd
capaduras; prices not given.
Sumatra- condition of the market
remains unchanged. The inquiry for
sample bales is fairly good, but the sales
effected through them are not up to the
expectations of importers.-Leaf.

EVANSVILLE. WIS.,, July 13, 1900.

This has been a very remarkable week
for the growing tobacco and it has made
a wonderful growth. The atmospheric
conditions have been ideal, and, while
the plants have grown rapidly, the weeds
have also been getting there, and are
making the farmers hustle to keep ahead
of them
Notwithstanding the discouraging
features of the spring weather, the plants
are as fully advanced as in the average
season, and prospects for good crop are
very encouraging.
In old goods the market is remarkably
dull, and little is done except to fill few
mail orders. There is some inquiry for
samples of the 80 crop.-Farm and
Home.

One small shipment marks the degree
of activity in the old leaf market at this
point. HI. Miller during the week ship
ped some 200 cases from his storage to
eastern buyers.
The continued rains of the week have
put the early set fields up to the usual
size for this time of the year. And as a
rule, the whole setting in this section is
about on the average with past seasons.
A light hail storm passed through this
part of the county Tuesday, but from
reports there was no damage to the crop.

New YORK July IA, 1900.

These are the veriest dog days in the
leaf market. Drowsiness seems to pre-
vail rywhere-drowsiness from the
sultry weathher as we'll as from the
dullness. All the business there is can
be done by the porter and office clerk
without the assistance of the absent
"boss." For no heavier sales are made
than box or bale or two.
The result of the Rotterdam inscrip-
tion on Wednesday last seems to con-
firm the previous reports that the bulk
of the Sumatra has been secured al
ready this year for our maaket. And if
this should prove the final outcome, that
is to say, that DO more heavy purchases
will be made, then the stock laid in will
find ready and remunerative market
Stray lots of the new crop of Havana
have found their way already to the
United States. And those who are ex-
amining and trying it are loud in their
praises of it.-Journal.

Monday, printed as a Detroit dispatch
The fact that it is certain that neither
OF the leading candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for governor Will
able to muster enough votes to nomi-
nate him on first ballot nor swing any
thing like his solid support to either
OF the other candidates when he sees
that he will be unable to land the NOM
ination for himself, has given rise to
much talk of a compromise dark horse
that has not previously even been "also
mentioned" in connection with the
gubernatorial nomination. The know
ing ones are squirting in the direction
of ex-senator John Patton as altogeth-
err the likeliest man in the state for a
compromise candidate. He has taken
no sides in the contest, is well thought
of by all the factions and in recent ad-
dresses has taken strong and vigor-
Gus stand against the use of money and
other questionable practices in the
manipulation of primaries, He is,
therefore, strong with the people. 1t
is cited further that his ability is con-
coded, while the fact that he comes
from western Michigan, which has valid
claims on the nomination is another
mite in his favor. No one need be sur
prised if Patton's friends take advan-
tage of whatever the situation may
offer as an opportunity to stampede the
convention toward him. Mr.. Patton.

the world. Every power takes into
serious account our opinion, our wish
