SHIPPING NOTES.

c. p. Reynolds left for Hawaii on
the Mauna Loa yesterday afternoon.
He first goes to Kailua then to Kau,
Hilo, Hamakua, Kohala and the Ko-
mas He will be gone several weeks and
will energetically attend to Molokai
settlement matters, seeing the deputy
sheriffs at different places to that end.
Men of the custom house are looking
forward to the arrival of the Rio de
Janeiro from San Francisco with con-
siderable anxiety for they expect that
the money with which they are to be
paid win come by that boat. They have
not seen a dollar since June a.
Machinery for the Honolulu brewery

brought considerable homework for the
new Hackfeld building and some
splendid horses for the Honolulu Stock

The new steamer Sierra, according to
the schedule issued by the Oceanic
Steamship Company, will not arrive at

Shipping men miss the honest coun-
tenance of Jerry" Reynolds along the
water front. Reynolds was formerly
the first officer of the schooner Robert
Levers and it was expected by many
that he would arrive in Honolulu with
that vessel when she got into port
from the Coast on Monday. But "Jer-
ry''-all his many friends call him
Jerry" though his name is Jack-de-
cided to remain in San Francisco in or
der to qualify himself to become a
steamship captain. Reynolds is we'll
known here, having been mate of the
Levers for several years; he is a de-
servedly popular young man and his
friends and acquaintance hope that it
will not be very long before he again
presents himself in Honolulu.

Now, Republicans are setting the trap Of

money that all that is greedy will be turned

enough of provision to fill the stomach.
1t is contrary to the political religion OF Re-

that is vicious in government. The party
traps the "varmints' only to tame them. 1t
has more pets than any monarch of the old
world, and all with voracious appetites and de-

the party traps the people-the common peo-

one good thing can be said of the party: 1t is
as true as the Mohamedans to its prescribed

bats from seats OF federal judges.
BY some people, this article will not be con.
sidered very strong arragnment. Such people
are not farmers, as am. Mice are little ami
mails, but they have more pure cussedness in
their makeup than any other animal on Gods
green earth, unless it be the professional politi
clan or the Norway rat. What mouse can't
eat he defiles. He is equally at home in the
corn-crib or in your best wardrobe. He will
gnaw up tie finest lawns or the greasiest over
alls. He takes corn out of the hill after it is
planted, and multiplies so rapidly that it would
take stenographer to keep record of the
births of one family.
All this may be applicable, or it may not.
The trusts cannot be likened to lions. Lions
have courage. There is no cat in their make
up, except cruelty. They might be wolves,
were it not that no sneaking is necessary under
Republicanism. | am not particular as to the
animal. The point is that they are destructive
to the interests and happiness of the American
people; and the peoples servants are so averse
to taking trust life that when caught, they are
that it is cardinal tenet in the creed of Re-
publicanism that the life of no beast of prey
shall be taken, under any circumstances-not
even the losing of the offices. l can say no
more. Office is heaven, and trusts are the
broad way that leads thereto.

Republicans and Trusts.

Some Republican politicians claim that they
are hostile to the trusts Some of the state
platforms contain resolutions on trusts that are
as void of meaning as gourd is void of bains.
bill or two have been introduced in the house
of representatives directed against the trusts,
and resolution to amend the constitution.
This is all preliminary to big fzzle.
The people who are hostile to trusts must be
fooled; and, since it doesn't take much to fool
a Republican, few feints are all that will be
necessary to hold the vote-'er-straights in line.
In return for the fooing process, the trusts will
furnish the Doodle for the campaign.
All this reminds me Of story. Some peo-
pie know that Hindoos, according to the Hin
doc religion, are not permitted to take animal
lite An Englisbman ESQ the story runs) lived
in dwelling that was infested with mice. He
instructed one of his servants to buy mouse
traps and catch the mice. After a few days,
noticing that the mice were still numerous, the
Engisman inquired of his servant if his in
structions had been obeyed. The servant an
swered that they had, and that he had caught
about fifty. The master inquired what had
been done with the mice, and was informed
that they had all been turned loose.
All the animals the Republicans catch will
be turned loose. The party ranks in history
as all expert in the catching -and-turning loose
business. Going back to its early history, we
hnd it freeing slaves, and leaving them to the
tender mercies of their former masters. The
master mice were turned loose to ravage the
unprotected labor of the black man. Home
industries were caught; so, also, internal i'm
prove,nents; but the destructive characteristics
Of these twin builders of civilization were in
tensihed by Republican trapping. The inter-
state commerce law caught the railroad compa-
nies. but the animal was not even scared. TIL,
inter state commerce commission might as well
have never been, for all the good it has done.
This is the testimony of two of the commission.
Coming nearer home, we find the state lead
ers up with the procession. We have been led
to believe that Republicans set trap for the

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Aug. 3, 1900.

EDGERToN, WIS, Aug. 3, 1900.
In the line of cured goods the market
is entirely barren of transactions worthy
of note. A little sampling of the '99
packings is being done, more to test the
condition of the tobacco, rather than
placing the samples on the market. So
far the percentage of damage found is
not of character to cause any uneasi-
ness.
The weather of the week has been fav-
orable for the growth of the new crop.
So far the growing sections have escaped
any damage from hail or storms and the
crop never showed up finer at this date.
Topping has become quite general now
and the harvest of some of the early
fields will commence soon.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 400cs from this station to all
points for the week past. Since last re-
port 225cs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

New YORK, July 25, 1900.

Business remains decidedly quiet, and
conditions have not improved since last
week. The prospects for next month,
however, are encouraging. Sampling
will probably begin in New England
about the middle of August, and State
tobaccos will also be ready to offer be-
fore the close of that month. New in
terest will then be awakened among the
buyers, and conditions will take turn
for the better. Reports of wild buying
in the Big Flats section are current, and
it is said that some 400 acres have been
bought at from 10 to IA cents. Packers
should pause and carefully consider the
prospects for next year before plunging
into the 1900 crop. A word to the wise
is sufficient.
Havana Conditions continue quiet.
and trading goes on in small way only.
Stocks are lower than they have been at
any time since the shortage which fol-
lowed the Weyler edict. Importers are
already making preliminary arrange
ments for their annual trips to Havana,
and many will be on the ground before
the close of August.

forth no change in the situation. Man
ufacturers show no tendency to stock up
and as they are purchasing for immedi-
ate needs only, the sample bale business
continues In vogue.-Leaf.

The past week has shown a decided
improvement over the past fortnight,
several packings having been sold, be-
sides a few smaller lots, most of them be-
ing 1899 goods. This has been encour-
aging, and, as the packers are hopeful
lot of men, as they indeed must be
sometimes, they talk far more conf
IDENTIFY of the future than they did
month ago. The sales of which we have
heard were 100 cases sold by Jacob
Breneman, 80 cases sold by Amos Nc
Allister and 425 cases bought by M. NJ
Fry, of this city, There were besides
number of smaller lots, running the
total to over 600 cases. For the cores
ponding week of last year the sales were
$40 cases. EsE8@
The past week was very trying one
on the tobacco fields. Thunder clouds
made their appearance almost every day,
and yet very little rain fell over the
county. In fact, some sections, notably
in Manor township, have had little rain
for month. Nowhere has the rainfall
been adequate to the needs of the crop.
The intense heat and scorching winds of
last week hurts the prospects of many
farmer. This is one of the crucial per-
iods of the tobacco season, and excessive
dry weather now means injury from
which the plants will not recover.
The first crop to be cut in this county
was that of j. M. Denlinger, of Mascot,
which was put away on july IA. Top
ping is now proceeding in number of
fields, but the crop is shooting the seed
pods prematurely in some cases.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Another week of hot sunshine with
occasional showers has furnished an eX-
traordlnary growing season. and tobac
co has responded splendinly. Topping
has now become quite general through
out the valley The early set crops have
been finished. The earliest date, July 7,
topping was commenced by the early
bird, Mr.. Charley Warner of Hatfield, D.
w Wells had 10 Or II acres topped the
18th, and many others had their crops
we'll along. Tobacco is generally look
ing we'll, with but slight damage from
any cause. The extreme heat of some
days, as we'll as of nights, made the
black and ominous- looking thunder
clouds which could but fill the hearts of
the growers with more or less of anxiety
for fear of hail storms. Yet, happily, we
have been favored in this respect, and
our crops in the main are intact. 1t is
we'll to allow the crop to get fully ripe
before cutting.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Northampton: Tobacco has grown very
fast for the last few weeks. Topping is
begun on the early set fields and will
continue for some days yet on the later
set pieces Hatfield, July 16: "Some 10
acres of our tobacco have been topped
and the work of topping will be general

ping July 7. The crop is looking we'll.
There has been but slight damage from

is rather uneven. owing to trouble from

bids fair for tirstclass crop. So far we
have heard of no damage occurring"

erage for this time in the season. [ drove

weather have improved it very much"

second week in August. The crop is
looking finely. Some very early pieces

NEW YORK July 2S, l9UO.
What the market expected for some
time occurred during the first of the
week, viz, a big transaction in some type
of the new crop. 1t was the sale of 1000
boxes of the '99 Zimmers. 1t was i'm
possible to obtain the exact price, but
we understand that although the mar
gin OF profit was low, it was satisfactory
to the packing house. Now that the
ball has started rolling similar transac-
tions may follow in closessuccession. For
the cigar industry must be in absolute
need of supply of raw material. From
tha forecast given in another place by our
Washington correspondent OF the forth
coming report of the Internal Revenue
Commissioner on that stamp receipts
from the cigar industry during the fis-
cal year just closed, it appears that the
increase in the cigar output was the
largest on record in any one year,
amounting to over 7500O0,O00. And the
old stock is very nigh exhausted The
slackness of business in the market, as
has been pointed out so often in this
place is not owing so much to a lack of
demand as to lack of suitable supply.
Sales are going on all the time, but they

reduced stock. Aside from some rem
nants of the '98 crop there is hardly any
thing left of previous crops. And when
the new crops become marketable the
rush for them will be an extraordinary
one.
Owing to the terrific heat and pros
tratlng mugginess which prevailed in
our city out-of-town buyers have hardly
ventured into our market No wonder,
therefore, that there were but moderate
sales of Sumatra, which for the coming
season will be again the wrapper leaf for
our cigar industry. Jobbers are sure to
invest in it in the fall heavier than they
have done since 1890.
In Havana leaf the odds and ends of
the old stock are eagerly picked up. The
general demand for better grade of ci-
gars forces the manufacturer to work
the Havana leaf Prices remain firm.-

able political caricatures which deserve
to become famous. It is much more in
spirit like the work of Hogarth than of
Gilray, whose brutality it avoids in emu
lating his vigor. And it particularly re-
calls Hogarth's famous "Bedlam." 1t is
lunatic asylum which the caricuturist
has represented, and in thus represent

pressed the sentiment of very large

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1900-08-03

Tobacco dealers and importers in New
York tell of remarkable prosperity this
year in the tobacco trade of Cuba. An
unusually heavy crop is reported, but
unfortunately shortage in the amount
of wrappers in the tobacco available for
this market will not permit, it is said, of
any appreciable decrease in price of
clear Havana cigars to the American
smoker. John E. Sutter, of Sutter
Brothers, No. 176 Pearl street, showed a
Tribune reporter letter which had just
arrived from the agent of the house at
Havana. 1t said in part:
The "Vuelta Abajo" and ''Partidos" to-
baeeos (the first of which is raised in the
Province of Pinar del Rio, the latter in
that of Havana, and both used for clear
Havana cigars are abundant and of
good quality. There is great disappoint-
ment, however, because these tobaccos
do not contain enough leaves for wrap
pers, but instead a greater quantity of
filters than usual. The prices therefore,
seem high. The reports from Remedies
and Santa Clara are to the effect that
the tobacco from these parts is of fine
quality and that the crop is large.
Prices, however, are firm.
In explanation of the latter brands of
tobacco, Mr.. Sutter said:
The Remedies" and Santa Clara"
tobaccos are used in this country for
filters to be worked with, domestic wrap
pers and binders. [ should judge that
the crop in Cuba is about onethird as
large again as that of last year. Because
of the fact that there is no Cuban to-
bacco left over from last year in this
country the Cuban growers are holding
out and asking good prices. Then, again,
the lack of wrappers or large fine leaves
in the crop will offset the greater gross
supply. The buying price for the better
grade first mentioned by our agent and
used exclusively for clear Havana cigars
IS as high as 45 cents pound. When
,he 80 cent duty and the cost of trans
portation is added to this amount the
product on reaching this city costs
