Tobacco Notes.

S. B. Heddles and wife, of GAINESVILLE,
passed Monday among friends in this
city.
Frank Baines and wife arrived at
their GAINESVILLE home this week from a
three months trip to Europe.
Mr. Gus Bunzl, of the we'll known
New York leaf firm of j. Bunzls Sons,
is the latest arrival in this market.
Dwight Loomis, of Springfield, Mass,
and L. We'll, of New York, are directing
the buying of the new crop in the state.
Andrew Norman of Stoughton, accom-
panied by S. Roth, manufacturer and
leaf dealer of Cincinnati, were in this
market Monday for few hours.
Ben Rothschild, Chicago leaf mer-
chant, and P. III. Crahen, OF. Beloit, were
in this market for a'short time Wednes-
day. - :. If
Mr.. w. S. Brill has been confined to
his room at the Carlton with severe
cold contracted while riding, for few
days this week, but is much better at
this writing. s -.
Julius Vetterlein, tobacco merchant
of Philadelphia, arrived Saturday eve
ming in this market and has since been
riding the growing districts with Con-
way Bros. & Co.
Mr.. E. A. Smith left for his home at
Springfield, Mass, Tuesday morning
after weeks riding in this market.
Mr.. Smith is an extensive grower of to-
bacco both in Connecticut and in Cuba.
His crop of Connecticut leaf consisted of
80 acres all of which was spotted, and
his Cuba interests control about 300
acres in that island.
A shipping order came to an Edger-
ton firm early in the week that calls for
not less than 100 line cars. This firm
has contracted such a habit of doing to-
bacco business on large scale that an
order of this size isn't considered hardly
worth mentioning though the lists were
so bulky that they were forwarded from
the eastern Office by express. It is sus-
pected that the tobacco goes to that
great octipus, the American Tobacco Co.,
and consists largely of the '99 crop. The
tobacco will be forwarded as fast as the
cars can be obtained for loading, and
will make at least four full train loads.
Few firms in the leaf trade, outside of the
Bamberger firm, count their sales by 100
car load lots.
Before many days the Northwestern
stockyards on South Livingston street
will be thing of the past, at that point,
for the railroad company has leased the
site to A. COIN & Co. of New York, one
of the wealthiest firms dealing in leaf to-
bacco in that city. The firm has decid-
ed to erect as soon as possible NAM
moth tobacco warehouse that will ex-
coed slightly the noted one of Suffer
Bros, that looms up one block further
east. Gordon & Paumack will begin
work this week on the plans which con-
template warehouse 80 by 200 feet in
dimension, and three stories high. The
structure will be built on piers. as it is
not thought desirable to attempt base
menu owing to the dampness liable to be
encountered. The warehouse will be
frame building, the exterior being sheet
ed up with a coating of steel. The i'll
terror will contain office rooms, lavator-
les, sorting, sweating and packing rooms,
and be an up-to-date warehouse in all
of it's appointments. It will be located
opposite Barnard & Wilder's. plant, and
although built on the right of way of
the Northwestern road will be equally
accessible from the tracks of the Mil
waukee company, as it will about cover
the strip of ground between the tracks
of the rival roads.-Madison Democrat.
