ANOTHER BIG ENTERPRISE
Green Forest Mill & Elevator Co. Organize with $2OOOO Capital.

Another big enterprise has been launched in Green Forest that means a great deal for the town and community.
 On last Wednesday, an organi- zation was perfected which re- solves the Green Forest Milling Go. into joint stock company to be incorporated under the laws of the State with an authorized cap ital of S2O,OO0. Itis the purpose of the company to enlarge upon the Green Forest roller mill, build large grain elevator and do a general milling and feed business.
 The officers of the thew com pany are A. J. Russell, president; T. s. Phillips, vice president and general manager, and J. O.. Michell, secretary and treasurer, with other members of the board of directors as follows: F. O.. Butt, M. s. Coxsey, T. w. Co., forth, w. R. Sneed and Jeff Har- bert. Other stockholders include, E. M. Goforth, A. N. Norris, w. R. Phillips and G. w. Coxsey.
 An invoice of the old company's s property was made Thursday and the new company at once took charge of the business.
 The establishment of grain elevator here is one of the town s greatest needs. It will afford ad- vantages to our farmers for stor- ing and marketing grain that will be of untold value and give our town the prestige as grain market unequaled by another town in this part of the state.

 The members of the Mystic Circle of Berryville entertained very delightfully."- at the home of Mrs. Dr. w. P. George, the circle president. The dinner was given by the ladies, in honor of their husbands and a number of invited guests, and was certainly an occasion long to be remembered by those present. After few introductory by Dr. H. L. Routh, a short program was rendered and all repaired to the dining room. Under the glare of many lights the table, beautifully decorated with cut flowers, was a.picture; from the ceiling above was suspended the Circle motto, large circle enclos- ing an M; while at each plate, as a of the occasion, was a beauti- ful carnation, the Circle flower. Space will not permit us to mention all the good things the ladies had provided, but, of course, it is understood it would hardly have been Thanksgiving dinner had not the inevitable turkey and cram berry sauce been much in evidence. This, like all entertainments given by the ladies of the Mystic Circle, was a complete success, and each and every guest felt happier for having been there. D.B.

Havana.-This market continues quiet
and the various out-of-town leaf buyers

The bulk of the inquiry seems to be for
tobacco suitable for clear Havana goods,
while that for seed and Havana purposes
is neglected. According to Custom House
statistics and an estimated deduction of
tobacco which is too inferior to even
hope for market in this country, there
is by no means a superabundance of
stock in the warehouses. Even when the
new crop commences to come over in
large shipments, the heavy bodied 1900
leaf will be in demand for blending pur-
poses, and tits safe to predict that there
is only enough old tobacco on hand to
bridge over the change of crops. OF
course this does not include several
thousand bales of "trash," which never
should have been taken from Havana

LANCASTER New ERA. Aug. q, 1901.
The unusual activity shown by our
home market last week seems to have
been short-lived and to have expended
all it's energy in very brief period. The
result is seen in the limited number of
sales reported this week. 1t deserves to
be stated, however, that a number of
dealers are away in the mountains and
by the ''sad sea waves" so that big trans
actions were hardly to be expected. The
only sales of which we have been in
formed were 200cs sold by David Mus
selman; 130cs bought by B. M. Mowery
& Co., and 24cs sold by Isaac Stirk & Co.;
in all, 3O0cs. For the corresponding week
of last year the sales in this market were
452 cases.
The new crop is attracting much at
tention to itself at the present moment,
as it we'll may, for a critical period in it's
history is at hand. 1t is we'll known
that the growing weather of the past
four weeks has resulted in a remarkable
development of leaf, especially of the
seedleaf, which this year occupies Is per
cent. or more of the total acreage. The
acreage itself is, perhaps, the largest in
six or more years. These two things
seem to demand more shed room.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EpGERToN, Wis. Sept. 6, 1901

The movement in the new crop is yet
largely confined to the Vernon county
section, though the volume of trading
has probably declined somewhat from
the first week. Well towards half the
crop in that section has been contracted
for to date. Buyers of the American
Cigar Co. have been circulating in many
of the southern growing sections during
the week and while some very attractive
offers have been made for the most
promising crops, we have yet to learn
that many sales were effected. Offers
from to II cents were declined by ex-
perienced growers generally for the rea-
son that they prefer not to enter into
contracts until the tobacco is harvested
and cured. The harvest of the new crop
is going forward slowly but the heavy
work of the season will be done the
coming week. Another week has passed
without rain and the later fields begin
to show the pinching effects of the dry
the crop is slow in maturing and at least
month is necessary to see it all secured.
The market iu old leaf is remarkably
quiet and transactions generally of small
caliber. N. G.. Nelson sold 120cs of 1900
to HI. w. Child and the latter has also
gathered in a few small lots of local
packers of late. Sampling of the 1900
packings is being done quite generally
and packers are more than satisfied with
the results obtained. The tobacco has
come through the cure looking fine with
only small per cent. of damage.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 500 cases from this market to all
points for the week past. Since last re-
port 800 cases of cigar leaf were ex-
ported from New York;

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The excitement subsequent upon the
first sales of tobacco in the field has in Il
measure quieted down, and the growers
now more fully understand the condi-
tions of the market, and now know that
the prices agreed upon, or majority of
them, were too low. Unless there is some
serious out in the crop it should have
been fully up to "a or 25 cents through,
or if an extra crop, then still higher
price. The last sales we have reported,
the prices go as high as 27 and 28 cents.
True, there may something turn up
to cause a reduction in prices. If there
is, these highest prices will have to be
toned down. The outlook was never
better for high prices than now. Every
precaution is taken by the trade to con-
ceal the selling price of our Connecticut,
wrappers of both Havana and Broad, or
seed leaf.
Our correspondents write as follows:
South Deerfield, Aug. %: THE weather
is doing wonders for the late tobacco,
and it bids fair to be as good or better
than the early crops. The frequent
showers and cloudy weather have him
dered the harvest SO much that the leaf
will get fully ripe and of much better
quality than If hurried in before it is
ripe, for fear of damage by wind hail or
frost. One 1900 crop of 25cs sold at 1919
cents, an advance of 5 cents from last
spring. The new crop is very large and
leafy and grown quickly. Now, if it
cures we'll it will be the best ever grown.

will permit. Cultivate

VIRoQUA, Wis, August %, 1901.

There is little to give our readers that
is especially new in tobacco affairs be-
yond what was printed last week. The
foreign buyers are still in this territory
and are doing business, with home deal
ers hot on their trail. Many farmers
have contracted their crops to both out
siders and home dealers, but there is a
determination on part of we'll calculat-
ing conservative class that their holdings
will not be secured till it is cured and
ready for market. From what we learn
we believe it is safe to say that the aver
age price contracted at so far is about
twelve cents, straight, and in not few
instances thirteen and fourteen cents,
and some crops have been bought at fif-
teen. These prices are fully a third high
er than the contracting prices of last
season. The good rains of the past week
have been great blessing to farmers
and the immature fields have developed
wonderfully fast. Conservative posted
persons are free to say that there is to be
a much more satisfactory harvest than
the most sanguine hoped for two weeks
ago. The county has never produced
finer grades and heavier tobacco than
many fields will show. The harvest is
now under way, some having finished,
while others have not yet commenced.

SToUGHToN, WIS, Aug. 80, 1901.

The recent showers have been of in
calculable benefit to tobacco and the
growth of the leaf within the last few
weeks has been marked. The general
opinion of tobacco growers and buyers
seems to be that about half of the aver
age crop will be harvested this year.
Topping and suckering is still going on
but harvesting has also been begun on
some farms and considerable portion
of the crop will be shielded within a
week. Transactions in old leaf are not
frequent, the only one reported to us be-
ing the purchase Of Spitzner & Child of
Edgerton of 210 cases of '99 and 100 from
S. M. Holverson of this city.-Hub.

After the copious rain of last Sunday
night the tobacco growers have been in
decidedly cheerful mood. If hail or
early frost does not intervene now, many
are assured of as good crops as they had
last year. The improvement in the con-
dition of the growing tobacco in this
vicinity is remarkable. Some fine fields
are already being harvested, and the
greater part is topped. The rain came just
at the right time after topping to make
a good spready leaf.-Enterprise

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Aug. 80, 1901.

Good deal of interest is manifested in
the operations of the agents of the
American Cigar Co., who are reported to
have picked up from 1900 to 5000 cases
of 1901, at prices ranging from s to I2c
and an occasional very fine crop brings
IA to Is cents. Several have brought 12c
straight. A few hundred cases have been
purchased by state dealers, but the bulk
of the purchases have been made by
agents of the trust.
Two agents of the A. G.. Go. are at the
Grand hotel in this city and are riding
in this section, but we have heard of no
purchases. Probably some will be made
soon. Look we'll to your contracts.
Harvesting has commenced in all di-
rections and the late tobacco is coming
along in good shape and only needs
late fall to make much good tobacco
