WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EpGERToN. Wis. Nov. l, 1901

EDGERTON, WIS.,, nov. L, l9Ol.
The weather conditions remain most
favorable for the curing of the hanging
crop and the recent rains are more than
welcomed providing warm weather fol-
lows. But very few crops are in condi-
tion to come down if good case comes
now and it is the opinion of many that
the growers as rule would prefer to
sell their crops hanging, while the buy
ers are not inclined that way.
Dealers are busy sampling and but
few transactions of the cured leaf come
to our notice. Geo. Ell. Rumrill of James
vile, during the week disposed of 246cs
of 1900.
The shipments out of storage reach a
total of II car loads, 691cs, from this
market to all points during the week.
Since last report 426cs of cigar leaf were
exported from New York.

LANCASTER New ERA, Oct. g. 1901.
The local trade feels encouraged over
the good showing made during the
past week, especially because a good
many of the goods sold were of last
years crop. One lot of 110cs had been
heavily sweated and the purchasers re-
port that they have given excellent sat
isfaction. This is all the more encour-
ing because there were apprehensions
that it might not undergo heavy and
satisfactory fermentation. This ready
selling of last years crop will also make
room for the new crop, and may stimu-
late transactions in those goods. The
country packings of 1900 goods have
been finding customers, and, as the
warehouses become empty their owners
are likely to fill them again. The trans
actions brought to our notice during
the week were as follows: Herbs.
Wertheim & Schiller of New York, pur-
chased 1000 cases of 1899 crop; E. Cos
linsby of San Francisco, bought 250cs of
1899 and 1900 goods; the Miami Valley
Tobacco Company 100cs; Meisky & Hei-
land sold Sc cases and bought AT cases,
and WE'LL & Siessel sold 10 cases of
heavily sweated 1900 goods, which the
purchasers say is giving very satisfac-
tory results In all, 2l93cs. For the
corresponding week of last year lO90cs
we're sold.
There is not much that is new to be
said about the crop now in the barns. 1t
has been curing down very nicely, and
we notice there is disposition on the
part of many growers to strip it as soon
as they can That is the proper thing
to do. When tobacco is we'll cured, it
will not improve by hanging on the
laths. The sooner that it is in mer.
chantable shape the better, both for the
tobacco and the grower.

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Oct. 25, 1901.

After a period of cold weather the sun
is asserting itself and the genial weather
is causing the hanging tobacco to cure
out more rapidly. The late crops are
still curing slowly and will need much
dry weather to carry them beyond the
danger line of fat stems.
AS regards the buying of the new crop
there is very little doing. A. L. Fisher
has picked up few crops in and around
Orfordville and Magnolia. Prices are
said to vary from to II.
In other parts of the state conditions
remain about as reported last week.
Buyers are apathetic and show little dis
position to buy at present, but, before
the robins nest again every pound of
good tobacco in the state will have been
purchased.
In old goods dullness is the prevailing
feature.-Farm and home

NEW YORK, Oct. %, 1901.

After weeks of inactivity the domestic
leaf market is now beginning to show
unmistakeable signs of renewed life, and
one While the bulk of the inquiry is for
goods as we'll. The trading is we'll dis
tributed throughout the market, and it
looks as if every leaf dealer is to come in
for his share of good fall business.
Sumatra.- Sumata market is in
fairly satifactory condition. A glance at
the New York Custom House statistics
of this year and last shows that for the
first three weeks in October, 1900, an
average of 377 bales was withdrawn for
consumption weekly, while the average
for the same period this year is 437 bales.
This indicates thatth Sumatra- wrapped
cigar is still InaGne ascendent, and if only
hand to- mouth businesswere being done
it would compare favorably with last
year. The last inscription of 1901 was
held yesterday, and there is no further
danger of overstocking the market this
year. .~--,-s.-. -.-.~~.-s,--
Havana.-There is stronger under
current of business in the Havana branch
of the trade. Importers show an inclina-
tion to keep their transactions sub rosa,
bnt it can safely be said that close to
5000 bales of Havana have been sold by
New York houses since the first of the
month, including both old and new
goods. The inquiry has been particu-
larly strong this week. and it is generally
believed that the trade is recovering
from the black eye it received from the
heavy influx of cheap tobaccos. s.-Journal.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The tobacco in large quantities has
been taken from the poles, and growers
are busy stripping and bundling, and
soon the work of asserting and packing
will commence. The buyers are anxious
to have it in the sweating room, since
the supply Of wrappers runs pretty low
and the prices are high. The consnmp4
tion of tobacco for the manufacture of
cigars and cigarettes for the year ending
June 30, 1901, was 91,000000 pounds.
The exports and use of the lower grades
for cutting purposes, in addition to the
cigar industry, will reduce the crop to
point that will show shortage of over
100000 pounds. Hence the haste to
get in the sweating room, and hence the
reason for it's high price. Again we must
consider the shortage in Wisconsin and
Ohio and damage in New York state.
The output of cigars shows an increase
since 1897 of more than 2,OOO,OOO,OOO.
The exact figures 2,412,269,314 cigars in
crease in four years. While in the same
time the increase in production of cigar
tobacco is only 2O,821 300 pounds. Why
is it possible for our present crop to do
otherwise than command high price.

raising of tobacco with rye, and come

Hazzardville, Ct.: "The late

New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 1901.

To Judge from the result of the Wilson
sale at Philadelphia on Thursday last, it
would appear asif the leaf businesswas not
at an auction sale in two hours of 1000
cases of domestic leaf and 600 bales of
Havana to individual buyers, manufact-
urers, jobbers, packers and importers,
and not to capitalistic combination,
and at fair market value, and not at
bargain counter price, would lead to the
conclusion that after all cigar leaf must
still be merchantable and profitable
commodity to other people than a single
corporation. The cry of dullness heard
in the market is being reasonably ex-
planned now by the fact that manufact-
urers are working up all the old stock
that has been carried for them by the
packers in their warehouses for months,
and even years. Never before in the
history of the trade have warehouses
been barred so completely as now, and
while in former years the packers were
at their wits ends for an inducement to
have their warehouses cleared of the
goods sold before packing season COM
menced again, exactly the reverse is
happening now. Of course this must
market is bound to experience such a
decisive and quick rush as TO sweep the
holders off their feet. For the market,
as it is, is short rather than overstocked.
The seriousness of the insuficiency of
binder stock is shared by the insufficien-
cy of filler stock, and perhaps more so.
A binder need not be seasoned by age,
but filler must, for a new filler causes
heavy combustion. The absorption of
the domestic filler in higher grade cigars
will revenge itself, for the manufacturer
will have to fall back on the Havana |
leaf, even for his lower grade cigars |
The situation as depicted here is not a |
whit overdrawn, and the manufacturer
who gets caught, and he is sure to get |
caught in this dilemma few months |
hence, will have cause to remember the |
prediction and warning of the U. S. To |

The first meeting of the TOWNSHIP
Board of Education for the year was
held at the Office of Clerk Sturgiss
Monday afternoon. The Board is com.
prised of the following members
Messrs. John Bell, T. Becker, II. Cogs
well, Wallace Hill, A. Huffman, w. f.

For president during the ensuing
year Mr.. j T. Bell was the unani-
nous croice. The appointment of this
standing committees was deferred un.
til the next meeting, when the Presi.
dent will make his appointments.
There was only one applicant be-
sides Prot. r. l.. Maury for the posi-
ton Of Superintendent of the Sand
Hill High School. The choice fell up
on Prof. Maury. the present incumbent
of the Office and he was accordingly en-
gagged for the next year at a salary of
$S5 per month, an increase of $40 per
month over the remuneration which
has been granted during the school
year now almost at a close.
The Office of the assistant superin.
tendent was sought by four applicants.
as follows: NJ. A. Adams, Geo. c..
Jackson, f. w. Saunders and e. E..
Barnhart. The resulting vote was in
Mr.. e. e. Barnharts favor and he
will accordingly perform the duties of
the assistant Superintendent, which
are now incumbent upon Mr.. Jordan.
The salary attached to the Office was
increased from S95 to $45 per month.
Another action of the Board which
will receive commendation from all in
terested in pedagogical work and fa-
miliar with the requirements of a
teacher in the rural districts, consist
ed in increasing the salaries of all
district teachers in the township
from $35 to $45 per month.
The selection of teachers for all
schools over the country will be made
at the next meeting. The prospects
are that there will be no scarcity of

cessitate the closing of the schools in
some places during the entire year and
in other vicinities only for Il few
months.

QUEEN AMlLIE
OF Spain Has Decided to Become
Nun.
Special to the Leader.

Special to the Leader
Lisbon, April 15.-The startling an
nouncement is made in court circles
here today that Queen Marie Amilic
wife of Don Carlos, King of Portugal,
has resolved to become nun. This is
a direct result of the protracted quarrel
between the royal couple over the
Kings attitude toward the religious Or
ders of the country.
The agitation against the clergy in
Spain spread in Portugal, where trou-
BILE between the Liberals and the Clef-
ical elements had been brewing for a
Catholic, while Don Carlos sides with
the Liberals, and during the recent dis
turbances he openly espoused theit
cause against the church. Violent
scenes between husband and wife in
the Lisbon palace followed, in which, it
is said. the Queen threatened to leave
Portugal and arrangements were made
at one time for her departure on long
journey in foreign lands, but as the
King refused to permit her to take her
children with her the trip was aban
doned.
The Queen is known to be of stron'
will power There are other grievances
against the King which have steeled
Queen Antilles heart. The King has
proved several times of late unfaithful
to his marriage vows. which recently
led to public scandal.
The climax of royal domestic con-
tention was reached last week, when
King Carlos caused an edict to be is
sued in the Diario de Governo against
the cloisters of his realm. which com
mands that all religious institutions
will be required to make a report of
their rules and regulations to the re
spective municipal authorities, and that
all who do not comply within fort
night would be closed up by the Gov
ernment The edict has been received
with storms of indignation by the cleri-
Gals and all parties.
The Queen tearfully beseeched the
King to relent, but he remained obdur~
ate, and it was then said that unless
the King would modify this edict she
would not hesitate to take the veil.
