New YORK, June 4, 1902.

While it would hardly be fair to say
that business has improved during the
past week, still it is matter of record
that inquiry has been strongerland that
the buying members Of the trade have
shown disposition to figure on larger
quantities. Some negotiations have come
to head, and among the sales reported
were several hundred cases of 1900 Wis
consin, which brought from II to 19
cents.
It has been quiet in this market for
several months now, and. factory stocks
must be getting low. That manufacture
ers are running short is indicated by the
constant inquiry for goods. Would-be
buyers seem to think that by holding off
they will eventually gain concessions,
while holders of leaf stick to their fig
ures in the belief that activity will soon
be renewed and good tobaccos will be
taken eagerly. Looking at it from an
unbiased standpoint, the position taken
by the packers appears to be justifia BILE.
It must be conceded that the price asked
for binders and some other tobaccos is so
high as to bar out the jobbers, but man
ufacturers should certainly step in and
buy what they need. There is nothing
in sight to indicate that values will de-
crease. Small sales of Big Flats, old
Onondagas and force-sweated Connect
cut have been made during the week,
aggregating few hundred cases.
Sumatra. Trading in this branch con-
tinues very unsatisfactory. Buyers COM
ing to town are almost held up on the
street, and it is doubtful if the average
sale of the day nets decent profit to the
seller. Three, five or ten bales is the
usual result of several days of dickering.
Sales reported during the week aggre-
gate about 300 bales.
Havana.-A slight improvement was
noticeable in Havana leaf circles this
week. Haggling for concessions is grow
ing less persistent, and deals that are
effected are put through in clean cut,
business-like way. Importers are san
guine of good, profitable years busi-
ness.-Leaf.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1902-06-13

Frank S. Baines, a prominent tobacco
dealer and grower, and Albert Schnell
also leaf grower, of GAINESVILLE, have
completed preparations for their expert
ment in growing Sumatra tobacco under
a cheese cloth shelter, an experiment
which will be tried for the first time in
Wisconsin this year. An acre of ground
will be used. The cloth is so open that
heat and moisture pass through readily,
yet affording protection to the leaf from
hail. The cloth costs about S75 per acre
and will last two years under favorable
conditions. It is made in strips "a feet
wide and 20 rods long. The cloth is
stretched feet above the ground over
wire network on framework of posts
and scantling. These posts are 12 feet
high and are set in the ground three
feet ten feet apart on the sides and
twelve feet apart on the ends. Rows of
posts set twenty feet apart extend the
length of the field. The expense in COW
ering one acre in Wisconsin is S4O0.

WILL HAVE LIGHTS TO BURN
ANOTHER FRANCHISE GRANTED
FOR ELECTRIC POWER.
The Ice Plant Has Power TO Spare
and Its promoters Have Been
Granted Permission TO Furnish
Lights in Ardmore 20 Years.

This morning the city council met
in special session. The object OF the
meeting was for the purpose of grant
ing TO A. Reummeli and associates Of
st. Louis a franchise TO put in an
electric light plant. for the purpose
Of furnishing light and power to
whom II could.
A. Reummell was represented here
by Geo. Il. Wells Of st. Louis. Of the
firm OF Buebel & Wells, consulting
engineers. and now temporarily en-
ployed by the Ardmore Ice Plant
company.
It is understood that the Ardmore
Ice Plant company are at the bottom
of this enterprise and are really the
instigators of the new electric light
plant.
After the council understood that
the new company only requested per
miision to do business, and asked no
one for anything. the rules we're sus-
pended and the franchise was grant

II. E. Foster. manager of the ice
plant, says that work will commence
Immediately on the plant, poles will
be placed and wires stretched, and
that two additional boilers will
be placed at the ice plant, the
capacity Of each being $50 horse-pow-
er. This would make 500 horse-pow-
er of steam at the ice plant
Mr.. Wells, who is a practical cleo
trio light man, said that new machin-
cry would be used, duplicate appar-
atus would be put in and everything
would be frst-class.
A twenty-four hour system will be
put on and they will be able to fur
nish light at night with power also
either day or night. They intend to
make their prices sufficiently low,
and the service so good that they will
command a liberal share of the pat.

The new company have five months
in which to put in their plant, but
think they will have the plant COM

The new plant proposes to run

thereby saving the city the expense
