WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERTON. WIS, MAY II, 1900.

Nothing has developed during the
week to vary the conditions that have
prevailed for some time past. A little
business is continu ally being done gath
ering in the remnants of the '99 crop
though the crops remaining unsold are
widely scattered and of uncertain quail
ity. Prices continue about as previous
ly quoted. Sales coming to notice are:
J. E. Finley, Ga at 6&2c.
Sam Courtier, 15a at 614&2c asst.
Martin Peterson, 5a at 7, 4&2c asst.
LII. Fessenden, la at 5&2c.
J. M. Sweeney, LA at 512&2c.
r. Clifton, "a at 6&2c.
Chris. johnson, Ga at Gaze.
j. B. Williams, IA at 41l&2c.
Mrs. H. O. Root, "a at 5&2c.
A. J. North, "a at 515&2c.
Otto Hollo, la at 5&2c.
S. B Heddles has started the sales of
the new crop by purchasing 329cs of the
packing of E. G. Hopkins and 200cs put
up by R. w. Davis at Sun Prairie.
Old leaf is moving moderately. L. B.
Carle & Son sold 5Ocs lot of '98 to st.
Louis jobber during the week. G. L.
Culton's sales reach trife above 200cs
since last report.
The weather since last report has been
much too cold for the plant beds to
make rapid progress but a retarded
growth is desired on the most forward
beds. No injury from frosts have been
reported.
The shipments out of storage reach q
car loads, 1905 cases, for the week from
this station to all points. Since last re-
port 630cs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

GAINESVILLE, WIS, May 4, 1900.

The buying of the 99 crop has almost
ceased in this section and there is but
very little to be bought. No regular rid
ing is being done.
The warm weather has given the seed
beds a good start, and the young plants
are we'll over the ground in many ihstan
ces,. with others the plants are Just com
ing up. A heavy frost came yesterday
morning, but probably did no harm tc
the young plants.
In old goods this has been a busy week
something like the good old times OF
several months ago. Geo. Ell. Rumrill
sold 115 cases '97 and '98. L. B. Carle
Son sold $50 cases old goods, F. S. Baines
made the largest sale made in this mar
ket for several months, he having sold
825 cases '97 and '98 to eastern parties

any amendment of the law relating to
dealers in leaf tobacco which would re-
quire them to give an annual bond as a
further safeguard to the revenue; and
while some changes or amendments
could be suggested that would be of
some advantage to the government as
we'll as to leaf dealers, it is perhaps as
we'll to go ahead and do business with
the law unchanged. A number of man
ufacturers have been assessed on ac-
count of receiving and not accounting
for tobacco, and number of leaf dealers
have been assessed tax of II cents per
pound on sales where the purchasers
could not be located.

New York.
New YORK May 2, 1900.

The domestic leaf market remains
quiet. The fact that it is "between sea-
sons just now and the continued sus-
pensions of operations by factories up
town has much to do with the present
dullness. 1t is hoped, however, that a
change for the better will occur before
the month is over.
Sumatra-Although no large sales
were consummated during the week,
considerable interest is being shown in
this branch of the trade. Some $500
bales of new goods from the second in
scription arrived yesterday, and samples
will be shown tomorrow. Importers are
favorably impressed with the description
of this tobacco and confidently believe
that as soon as the trade at large have
inspected the purchases of the second
sale, business will begin with renewed
vigor.
Havana-A very light business has
been done during the past week. The
limited stocks now on hand will be re-
duced slowly from now on. Prices are
so high that nothing short of absolute
necessity impels manufacturers to come
into the market.-Leaf.

MIAMIsBURG. OHIO, May 2, 1900.

The dry roads enable buyers to cover
many miles per day, and, while some
farmers are selling their crops at current
rates, others are fifty and more per cent
above the market price for the 80
Dutch. There is also change down
ward on 80 Spanish, probably for the
reason that the best crops have been
sold. With the mercury at 40 in the
morning and ground dry, there is no,
push in vegetation. Plants under can
vas and kept watered are reported as
appearing above ground.

Contrary to all expectations, the
monthly returns for April of the output
of cigars in the Metropolitan Districts
show an increase over the output of
March. Slight as the increase is, amount
ing only to abont three quarters of a
million, it is an increase, in spite of the
continued strike. And strange is the
coincidence that the 9th Pennsylvania
District, which with the Metropolitan
Districts, manufacture about one-half of
the entire cigar output of the country,
shows about the same slight increase
over it's output in March. In view of
these returns the dulness that prevailed

There can be no dispute as to the i'm

FIXING THE TIME OF OPFNING
Quotations From the Law
Setting Forth the Time
Eor Opening Kiowa
Reservation.

We are often asked when vii
! the Kiowa and Comanche reser
vation open. In answer to this
we DO no more than quote from
the law passed by the last con
gress and approved by the Presi-
dent June G, 1900. That law
says:
That all allotments Of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the Secretary Of The Interior to
said Indians within ninety days
from the passage Of this Act, sub
ject to the exceptions contained
in article fuor of said treaty; pro-
vided, That the time for making
allotments shall in no event be
extended beyond six months from
passage Of this Act.
Another question that is often
asked us: Will townsites be
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
ments. In answer TO this we
again quote the law.
"When said allotments of land
shall have been selected and TAX
en- as aforesaid and approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, the
titles thereto shall be held in
trust for the allottees, respective.
ly, for the period Of twenty. five
years, in the time and manner and

TRIBAM TAX QUESTION.

According to the ruling Of At
torney-General Griggs, on the ques-
ton submitted to him by Secretary
Hitchcock in regard to the colec.
tion of tribal taxes said to be due
the Chickasaw and Choctw Nations
under Sections 2147 and 2150, in
elusive, of the Revised Statutes of
the United States, the Indian Agent
will no doubt proceed to make the
collections. In this case, either
those parties resisting the collection
of the tax, or the Secretary OF the
Interior, will be comdelled ia "back
down.
Should the law be enforced, and
the men who have .bought-and paid !
high prices for-residen2e and busi-
ness lots in the towns in those ma |
tions, be forced to abandon their
homess, give up their business and
leave their property, will it not
have the effect similar to copfscat-
ing their money invested in the In
dams lands? AT the same time, it
is presumed that the business men
making such investments knew the
law, and expected in good faith to
abide the. aaw, Notwithstanding the +
fact that it is taxation without rep ;
resentation. In view of all tie sur. 2
roundings, it seems that a prudent
course to pursue under the cireum- G
stances would be to pay the tax I
under protest, and make united
strong appeal to congress for relief
from such burGensome law. I
There was at time when such a
tax appeared to be within the bounds
of reason, but since provisions have
been made for investment of money
in lands within the territory, it
seems only reasonable that those
parties should be required to pay

The Prolific Banana,

A banana stalk yields but one bunch
of fruit and would die if it We're not
cut down when the fruit ripcnS or ma
lures. One mat will produce from one
to three punches Il year, growing con-
tinuOuSly, as fast as one stalk is cut
another taking its place. \ remarkable
thing about this plant is that if YOU
cut into Il half grown stalk near the
root or any part Of the stalk Il small
blossom or bunch of bananas, fully
formed, will soon shoot through the
cut, but if allowed TO grow will never
reach any market value.
Many people affirm that the banana
and the plantain tree are the same
fruit, but this IS Incorrect Although
they grow like the banana, an eXpc-
rienccd person can readily distinguish
the difference BY the color as we'll as
by the size of the small ribs in the
leaf. The plantain grows in Il bunch,
but with only two or three hands TO
the bunch, and each finger or individual
plantain is as large again as the banana
and is more of Il crescent shape. They
are never eaten raw. The natives cook
both the plantain and the banana, but
prefer plantain. Magazine.
