WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN. WIS, July D, 1901.
The planting of the new crop has been
practically at standstill during the
week sspast owing to the hot, scorching
weather that has prevailed. Much of
the CROP probably three-quarters of the
intended acreage, was out before the
burning days that put an end to trans
planting. Local showers have fallen in
many localities in the tobacco section of
late and the indications are that the
heated term is about over. The com.
pletion of the planting, however, will be
carried over into July this year, some
what later period than usual, but the
full acreage seems likely to be set.
The business of marketing cured leaf
is apparently about over, only an occa-
sional transaction now comes to the sur
face. There is good deal of work yet
about the warehouses in handling the
leaf, repacking and condensing. G. L.

warehouses and has work in sight for
the greater portion of the summer.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

We have reports from many CORES
pondents, but they refer largely to con
ditions of the crop just planted. The
uniform testimony is to the effect that
the average of transplanting was about
eight to ten days later than for the last
four or five years, and that the plants
are smaller than usually set. Then comes
the news of the depredations of the cut
worm and other insect lovers of tobacco.
The area set this year will be in excess
of last year, though probably lessened on
account of the cold, wet weather, COM
pelling delay in fitting the soil for the
crop, and the scarcity of plants. But we
are assured that every effort has been
put forth the grower was capable of.
Even the growers of tobacco have their
limits, like other human beings Very
many new sheds for curing are contin-
ually being mentioned. The number is
probably greater than for any year of
late.

Suffield, Ct., June 20: MANY of those
who are having their tobacco set out by

ed as looking like a black maggot is

The domestic leaf market during the
past week has been reported a quiet one
by most of our dealers. There has been
some inquiry for binder and filler grades,
but only in an Indifferent way. Despite
this inactivity the situation is not par
ticularly discouraging. Occasionally the
market is revived by very fair weeks
business, and with few days of good
trading now and then the old stocks will
be pretty we'll cleaned up by the first of
November. There are quite number of
packers in the market who are actually
sold out, and for them there is really
nothing to do but to sit quietly in their
offices and wait for nature to put their
new tobacco in marketable condition.
That prospects are good for finding buy
ers for all remaining lots of sound and
serviceable old tobaccos is indicated by
the fact that prices continue firm and
show no tendency to weaken.
Sumatra. While this branch of the
local leaf business is not as active as i'm
porters would like to see it, Sumatra
seems to be attracting more attention
than any other kind of leaf just now.
Great yielding capacity and high prices
continue to be respectively the pro and
con arguments in all negotiations involv-
ing the new goods, and in many cases
the former more than offsets the latter.
Sample orders are being received in
goodly numbers, and few very salts
factory sales have been put through
during the week. The majority report
of manufacturers who are working the
new goods is very much in favor of the
tobacco.

market is quiet The inquiry continues
fairly strong and some importers report
fair business, but most firms have had

LANCASTER New ERA, June 25, 1901.

The prevailing dullness that usually
characterize the local tobacco market at
this season of the year continued
through the past week. No sales of any
consequence were reported, and the mar
ket will continue dull until the sweating
process is over. Several large dealers
were in town feeling the market for 1900
goods, but no deals whatever were eff
fected. The crop has been very gener-
ally bought up from the farmers. This
years crop, so far as reported, is doing
well considering the late date at which
it was planted but it is yet too early to
draw line upon it. A sure indication
of the approach of the dull season is the
action taken by the leaf dealers of this
city to close their places of business at
noon on Saturdays during July and
August.

The transplanting OF the new crop is still

The Philadelphia Tobacco World is
confident that the consumption of tobac-
co and cigars will not decrease, whatever
combinations of capital may be formed
nor whatever one or more dealers may
think about such towering organiza-
tions. That determines the question of
whether tobacco will be purchased.
With an increasing trade purchases must
be enlarged to meet the demand, and
business must be. upon the whole, on
larger scales than it has been heretofore.
1t is not, therefore, an unmixed evil;
nor on the other hand, is it an unmixed
blessing. While arguments are easily
.addlced for both sides in the discussion,
it must be admitted that the practical

He CAUGHT Them.
Secretary of State Clark Stole a
March ON County Clerks.
Found They Were Ordering Too
Many of Statutes.
AN EXPENSIVE BOOK.
Usually Sent Out to Clerks on
Requisiti0n.
List of Share Entitled to Them
Revealed Leak.
AN EXPENSIVE BOOK.

George A. Clark, secretary of state,
has stopped leak in the states
finances. 1t is in reference to sending
out the new edition of the Kansas stat
utes.
A short time ago the secretary Of state
received 1000 volumes of the new stat
utes, the number ordered by the legis-
lature for the use of the state. Every
justice of the peace in the state is en-
titled to one, and number of county
officers, all judges, members of the leg
islature and state officers are each en-
titled to a copy. The county clerk OF
each county is supposed to make a
requisition for just enough to supply
each justice of the peace in his county
and each county officer entitled to q
volume.
Only a comparatively small number
have thus far been sent out They are
bulky, expensive volumes. and 1T takes
considerable time to handle them They
have always been published in two vol
umes heretofore. but this time the two
volumes were combined in one. The
1000 volumes purchased by the state
weigh a little matter of "a tons, and
they take up nearly all of large room
on the basement floor of the state
house.
Volumes of the statutes have been
sent thus far to members of the legisla-
ture. the district judges and two or
three counties, but otherwise the big
stack of books is still undisturbed- The
reason why is as follows:
Some of the acquisitions made by the
county clerks led the clerks in the office
of the secretary of state to believe that
they were caAing for more statutes
than they were entitled to. The office
of the secretary of state has no list OF
the justices of the peace in the state,
but arrangem entS were made to secure
such a list. Blanks were sent out to
all county clerks stating that frequent
calls were made on the secretary of
state for information about justices of
the peace, and the county clerk was
requested to furnish the names and
addresses of all justices in his county
the statutes. In this way a complete
list of all justices of the peace in every
county was secured. A comparison of
the acquisitions made by the county
clerks for copies of the statutes and
the lists of justices which they sent in
shows that a considerable number of
them planned to get from one to ten
more than their counties were entitled
to.
The books cost the state $1.75 each.
They are published by Geo. w. Crane
& Co., and the 1000 are furnished to
the state at that price. but individuals
who buy only one copy at a time must
pay three dollars for it. Heretofore
1t is expected that the leak discovered
and stopped by the secretary of state.
while it would not amount to much in
any one instance, will save the state
several hundred volumes of the stat
uteS.
