WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,
EDGERToN, WIS, DEC. 13, 1901

EDGERToN, WIS.,, DEC. 13, 1901.
From the information at hand it car
scarcely be said that the buying move
ment is gaining much headway. Buyers
have been out in many of the growing
sections during the week and altogether
several hundred acres of the new crop
sold, but we cannot learn that many
new firms have entered the field, while a
few that have bought sparingly hereto
fore have ceased riding. Quite little
trading has taken place about Brooklyn,
in the Orfordville section and few lots
sold near Sumner at prices about as
quoted last week from IL cents down.
Sales coming to notice are:
Ell. N. Wagley, 5a at 9&2c.
I'll. Ell. Tristan, ga at 9&2c.
Lars Lione, Ga at 9&2c.
A. Springer, Ga at 9&2c.
A. j. Chubbuck, IA at 8&2c.
If more of the large handlers had be-
come interested in the movement it
would lend color to the opinion that a
more general buying would occur, while
so far only local dealers are interested,
with the exception of the American Ci-
gar Co., who are not active buyers at
present.
The demand for old leaf continues
brisk though the week has brought no
large transactions.
Another season of mild weather is on
which may bring the hanging tobacco
into case again and permit the further
removal Of the crop from the curing
eheds
The shipments out of storage reach
but about 500cs, 10 car loads, to all
points from this market. Since last re-
port 750cs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

The growers are still waiting for cas-.
ing weather, and until the crops in the
sheds can be taken down there will not
be many sales made in this vicinity. No
buyer has yet invaded this section, and
the farmers are wondering what prices
to state that the price will be consider,
ably higher than was paid last year,
judging from the price paid where any
sales have been made.-Enterprise.

If there has been "a lull in the tobacco
"war" in Britain, it seems to be the pro-
verbal one which precedes the storm. A
cable from London to the n. Y. lob.
Leaf states that the Imperial Tobacco
Co. has issued it's first important mani
festo, the basis of which was an appeal
to the patriotism of the smoking PUBLIC.
In about one hundred London and pro-
vincial journals there appeared strik-
ing page advertisement setting forth the
aim and object of the Imperial, and Cit
ing in insinuating terms that the reali-
zation of these would rebound to ma
tional age-financial, of course.
Some of the leading London papers have
already pointed out that there is no such
thing as "patriotism over the counter, y
and the odds are long that they are
right. There is something particularly
interesting in this fight, and on the
other side it is looked upon as the at
tempt of collossusOf finance and master
of business detail to beard a nation. In
this way the sporting insticts of the
British people are aroused, and not a
little sympathetic admiration has gone
out to the daring invader. It undoubt-
edly will be battle of giants, and equal
ly certain it is that victory will rest with
the side which has the heaviest financial
batteries. 1t is said that the Imperial's
advertising campaign, which was started
on Monday, is costing $4,000 per diem.

One thing must be continually borne
in mind, says the Lancaster New Era, in
discussing the question of reciprocity
with Cuba and her demand for free
sugar and lower duties on tobacco. It
is not the native Cubans nor the Span
iards who are the most active in these
demands. The prime movers are our
own countrymen. Since this country
has taken possession of that island and
given it a good government great deal
of American money has gone down there
for investment in sugar plants and to-
bacco estates. There always has been
much American capital there, but it has
been immensely increased during the
past two years. 1t is these men, the
owners of this money and these great
sugar estates, who are now at work try
ing to secure the free introduction of
their sugars into this country. True,
they do not make their presence seen,
but they are pulling the wires, and the
Cuban sugar and tobacco growers come
here to urge the matter. It is these men
who are giving the movement all the en-
ergy and vigor it has, although they do
not appear themselves. 1t is less ques-
tion of helping the Cubans who have
the wide world for their market as it is
to give few great American capitalists
a free market for their foreign grown
products to the detriment of our home

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The outlook for opening the ware
houses in the packing points OF the
southern growing counties is far less en-
couraging than for several years past at
this date. The lateness of the buying
movement and the Indifference of the
large firms all indicate that the season
of warehouse work will be slow in start
ing and of short duration. This is one of
the far-reaching effects of the long, Sc
we're drouth of last season and will prove
disappointment to the laboring class
that are accustomed to make comfort
able wages during the winter and spring
months. 1t will be these people and the
business interests of the packing points
that will feel the effects of slack work.
Local packers say they see little induce
ment for the investment of their capital
in crop that is less than of average
quality and held at figures higher than
have prevailed for many years. So long
as they hold to this view and conditions
continue, warehouse handling remains a
probability only.

ing in other strong manufacturers who
might care to inlist in a common cause
to prevent the encroachments of the
American Cigar Co. The plans are all
complete and the new company will
commence business on Jan. 1st. A lead
ing member of one of the firms interest
ed said the object in combining was to
reduce the expense Of management and
to protect the independent 5obbers and
distributors who are now being crowded
out Of business. The magnitude of a
consolidation of interests may be real
lied when it is known that the combined
products of the two firms for the year
just ending will exceed 2OO,OOO,OOO ci-
gars. It is doubtless true that the large
manufacturers outside of the big trust
find that to maintain their prestige they
are compelled to john hands and meet
their competitors on equal grounds. 1t
Il quite hard to predict what a meeting
of the giants upon the commercial field
will result in, and it will be interesting
to watch the developments of the next
few years to come. The makers of the
General Arthur, Tom Moore, Henry
George and Owl cigars are the first to
take the initiative and attempt to main
tain the supremacy Of these popular
brands in the market, and others may
fall in line with the protective movement
thus begun.

THE CHANGE.

We are partisans Of wishes. The whole
nation shared in hopefuness for President McKnley's
speedy recovery. hopefuness which since yesterday
morning we know to have been hasty.
The surgeons have not tried to deceive anyone. The
developments towards convaescence were seemingly IN.
mistakable The physicians were entirely frank They
declared that President Mckinley ives progressing finely
and by Wednesday the whole nation stood convinced
that his recovery was certainty But the expressions of
the surgeons did not warrant quick conviction This
brought out Wednesday evening when reporter
asked one Of the surgeons President Mckinley was out
Of danger. The world now remembers his reply: NO
tie is not ont of danger He is still very sick man"
Specialists at the front their profession have been

Yesterday morning came the crushing word that
complication had come The nation fell into detection
