dominates, and it was easy for us TO
pick it up. They lived on dried fish
in the winter and fresh fish and game
in summer generally eating it raw.
They kill moose, deer bear and
goats, but seem to prefer fresh FISH as
diet. There is a good deal of game
in this section, and their method of
killing moose before they got fire

and truly simulate the we'll known Su-
matra wrapper or tobacco leaves.
The quality of Sumatra tobacco leaf is
commonly believed to be somewhat su-
perior to the American leaf, ,..and this fact,
taken together with the duty levied
thereon, gives. the same a high market
able value. This invention,
therefore, contemplates providing means
for discoloring tobacco leaf in spots so
that its identity cannot be distinguished
from the ordinary Sumatra leaf, and to
accomplish this result is designed to en-
ploy some chemical or other means as
will partially deaden the life of the leaf
in isolated spots, so that such spots will
become discolored and partially or COM
pletely bleached, which at the same time
remaining sufficiently soft and pliable so
as not to destroy the usefulness of the
leaf as wrapper for cigars
1t is plain that the patent originated in
experiments which were intended only
for the purpose of counterfeiting the
spotted tobacco Of commerce.
In authorizing patents to the authors
of new and useful discoveries and inven-
tions, congress did not intend to extend
protection to those which confer no other
benefit upon the public than the oppor-
tunity of profting by deception and fraud.
To warrant patent, the invention must
be useful-that is, capable of some bene-
ticial use as distinguished from a per-
nicious use.
The decree of the court below is af-
firmed with costs.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. Wis, Aug. 10

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Aug. lO, l9OO.
The absorbing tobacco news of the
week is the sale of the Bekkedal packing
to Sutter Bros. and is the first transac-
tions in the 99 packing of Importance,
SO is likely to have considerable bearing
on the future sales of this tobacco. The
transaction also includes the balance of
his '9S packing as we'll as 60 cases of '95
goods, 1867 in ALL The only other sale
of note reaching us is that of 800 cases
'9S and '99 goods by G. L. Culton to
eastern parties
The new crop has been coming along
with remarkable strides during the
week and so far has escaped damage
from hail or heavy storms in all the
growing sections. The harvest has
started on few of the early fields and
the coming week will become quite gen
eral. This state has seldom had finer
tobacco than is now about ready for the
sheds.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 300 cases from this station to all
points for the week past. Since last re-
port 93Ocs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

New YORK, Aug. /, 1900.

The month of July will not be record
ed as red d-letter one by the leaf trade;
on the contrary, it has an exceedingly
small amount of business to its credit
This week, however, there are indications
that a revival is not far off. No i'm
portant sales have as yet been reported,
but considerable 'looking around" is be
ing done and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the month opening today will
be more fruitful than the cae Just closed.
Letters have commenced to come In
from out-of- town jobbers and manu-
facturers asking for prices and samples
of the new goods, and it is believed that
general buying for fall trade will begin
earlier than usual. Big Flats is looked
upon as the most available tobacco for
cheap wrappers and binders, and inquiry
for them is heard quite generally, One
house recently disposed of 500 cases of
their packing The demand for ex-
tremely light wrappers is becoming more
pronounced, but there is no tobacco
from which it can be supplied this year.
Our Lancaster correspondent writes:
"Since my last letter | have heard of two
packings of 1899 tobacco being sold, one
lot of 700 cases, and another of 425 cases,
at private terms. Both were taken by
local packers. At this rate all of the
small country packings will soon be
bought up. 1t is estimated that of the
1000 or 5000 cases held by these country
packers, over one-fourth has already
changed hands,

weather and depressing manufacturing

week aggregate some $50 bales.

Sutter Bros Big Deal,


The we'll known firm of Sutter Bros,
whose operations of late years has been
the wonder and talk of the trade, re-
lieves the monotony of dull leaf mar
ket, with another startling announce
ment, which in magnitude is the.largest
single transaction in Wisconsin leaf ever
consumated. Mr.. L. P. Sutter has engi-
neered deal that involves the purchase
of 1857 cases, actual count, the entire
holdings of M. Ell. Bekkedal, the Westby
packer of Wisconsin leaf. The
owner will receive check amounting to
very nearly S25O,O00, which the Reporter
is onident is the largest sum ever paid
a local packer in single transaction for
tobacco. This will make the Sutter firm
the owners of about 13, 800 cases of Wis.
'99 crop of which 1000 cases are of
Northern Wisconsin leaf that is espec-
tally held in high favor. The boldness
of the Sutter firm in getting control OF
SO large share of the '99 Wisconsin
and their practical monopoly of the New
England crop of the same years growth,
places them at once as the largest opera
tors in cigar leaf in the county if not IN
the world. What is most encouraging
is that the success of this enterprising
firm is we'll deserved.

NEW YORK Aug. 4, 1900.

The market is voted to be dull by
nearly everybody, and yet some business
is going on all the time, and some lively
transactions took place the past week.
In the first place, sale is reported of
from between 500 and 600 boxes of '99
Big Flats at 15c. Then there was some
lively hustling done for old filters. Man
ufacturers who take broad and pros
pective view of the situation are trying
to secure all the stock they can before
the unavoidable rush sets in for the new
crops, which they know will sell from ~
to cents higher than what is left from
the old stock in dull market. Hence
considerable buying has been done on
the quiet, and about 600 boxes of old
Pennsylvania and Onondaga were dis
posed of. There is a lso strong Inquiry
for old binder leaf, as the new binder
crops are probably the shortest of any.
Sumatra is also moving satisfactorily.
About zoe bales were sold in lots of 10
bales and over. The demand is now
more for darker colors.
And the Havana market is being
speedily cleaned out, ltoo. Such stock
as is to be had is selling freely, and at
good, firm prices.

The farmers in this section are re-
joicing over the present tobacco crop
prospects, in fact from all the growing
districts fof the state comes the good
news of a healthy outlook. Growers
seem stimulated by the appearance of
the fields and are giving forth their best
efforts toward the success of the grow
ing crop. The plants are large and the
leaves are we'll proportioned giving fine
appearance. If no damage comes to the
growing crop it will undoubtedly make
excellent goods for the buyer. The
plants are now beginning 20 bud and
some topping has been done. Country
