WR|TESLtT7ERTO
MAYOR CROvA1T
Say They Can Put Us Up
a Plant for $500
600.

The following letter received Sunday
by Mayor Crovatt from the Garrett
Cromwell Engineering company is
self explanatory:
Hon. A. J. Croyatt. Mayor.
Brunswick. Ga.
Dear Sir:
BY the time this reaches you. you
will no doubt be aware that the
scheme as outlined by Mr.. Umstcd for
steel plant to be built in your city,
has fallen though desire it 10 be
understood that we acted only as en-
gineers in the matter and are conf
dent that had this plant been built
as outlined in the material assem-.
bled, as per Mr. Umsted's statement,
such as ore, coke etc, you would
have had one of the best paying steel
works in the country, ii not in the
world
| understand that your city had an
arrangement with Mr.. Umsted where
by if he performed certain results,
VIZ: butt Il steel plant that would
produce 1000 tons in n hourc, you
were to give him a honus of $500, 900,
all of which | believe had already
been subscribed.
In one sense you, perhaps, have Oc-
casion to congratulate yourself that
the scheme, as outlined, did not go
| through, because in your agreement
you metioned tons instead of number
of men employed. When -,
that in the manufacture of steer 1alls
lit only required one man to the ton,
while in merchant bars, wire rods
and wire it takes more than ten (lOD
men to the ton produced, and believe
that a plant costing about one-tenth
Of what your proposed plant would
cost, as per Mr. Umstcd's idea, viz:
$1,000, 900, could be built and employ
as many men.
wish to maliet he following suG.
gestion: If you could induce the
parties who have subscribed toward
| the bonus fee to take stock for the
| same, and then constrye to add
about $18O,000, making the whole
| 100000, with this we could design
you a small plant, beginning with
making your own steel. not with the
making of pig iron, and converting
that steel into merchant bars, cotton
ties or wire rods and wire, as might
be deemed best after further discus
sion Of same. with this amount of
money a little Self-containod plant
would be built, then you could bond
the same for about 100000 to give
you working capital. Here will be
a small plant, first class in every re-
spcct, and not watercd to any degree
l will not go into further particulars
but will wait to hear from you and

of our firm will meet you anywhere
you might lcsignate-New York PRE-

fully with you.

New YORK, August s, 1903.
This was perhaps the last week of the
summer dullness in the market. Accord
ing to the reports from our correspond
ents, the market is threatened with al
most an avalanche of buyers, in week
or two, from all over the country. The
advance guard seems to have made it's
appearance already. The first onslaught
WILL of course, be on Connecticut sec
onds, but while the expected contingent
of buyers will find the market stocked
with the new crops, although but small
portion is as yet being sampled, they are
sure as every year to meet with disap-
pointments in trying to get what either
nature has not produced or unfavorable
weather conditions has spoiled. There
will certainly be no abundance of do
mestic wrapper leaf, and what there is
should not be scrutinized too closely,
either, for no matter how the new crops
are turning out, they will have to be
used as they are, for two of the most
convincing reasons. First, there is no
old stock to fall back on, and, second
the ever increasing output of our cigar
industry must have tobacco in one shape
or another. For, enormous as was the
output OF our cigar 1nduSCry during the
last fiscal year, the indications are, to
judge from the returns received for the
first month of the current fiscal year,
that the new fiscal year will be record
breaker again. Consequently such to-
baccos as are offered, no matter what
their merits or demerits, will have to be
consumed. A more advantageous mar
ket the buyer will probably find in for
eign leaf. In this line the market seems
to be we'll stocked with supply of de-
sirable wrapper leaf, and also old Ha-
vana fllers the latter of which, in view
of the almost complete failure of new
Remedies. will undoubtedly command
pretty stiff figures. There is one thing
sure, that the bargain hunters will run
off their heels in vain this year.-Jour-

The nights have been too cool for two
weeks past for the growing tobacco and
the weather too dry. Warmer nights
and more rain are what are needed at
the present juncture for the tobacco
crop in Pennsylvania. OF course, we
shall have warmer weather later on, but
we need it now. Cool nights stunt the
growth ard make short, thick tobacco,
before it has attained its full develop
ment. The season is certain to be late,
and a warm, late fall will perhaps be
desirable. Topping has become common
and in few places crops of early Ha-
vana have been harvested.

EDGERToN, WIS, Aug. Ii, 1903.
The unseasonably cold weather is de-
laying the development of the growing
tobacco crop and causing quite little
uneasiness among growers. Under ordi-
nary conditions the harvest would be
we'll under way at this date, whereas it
has just started in but few instances.
The continuous cool weather brings
about slow maturing of the fields and
though the later tobacco is making
growth the time required between top
ping and ripening will necessarily pro-
long the work of harvesting we'll toward
the frost limits unless weather conditions
improve. Reports reach us that severe
storms in the Vernon county district
last week has wrought some damage to
the growing fields.
Old goods are receiving but little at
tention in the market at present. We
learn that the packing of Thayer &
Rowe at Jancsville, of some 300cs, has
been sold.
The shipments out Of storage do not
exceed 400 cases from this market to all
points for the week past,

Sales are as yet very scarce, but are
expected TO be more abundant as the
leaf is all ready for the sweat. The mar
ket is practically bare Of New England
goods AS soon as the leaf has passed
the sweat, it is expected great demand
for it will be visible. There is an insult
fcient supply.
Care should be taken to avoid injury.
It often becomes necessary TO remove
some of the boards from the heads C$
the cases so as to allow the surplus nAols-
ture to escape, or it will cause damage,
It will do no harm to pry out one or
more boards from the heads of the cases.
II found slippery, leave them out until
it is through the sweat.
AS the tobacco each day increases in
size, the growers are very apt to keep
sharp lookout for hail storms A few
minutes of hail easily ruins valuable
crop. So far we have had but one hail
storm. This occurred at East Windsor
Hill, Ct and South Windsor. At Po-
Quonock, where the tobacco was large,
much damage resulted, and also at Glas
tonbury. Late set fields were but slight
ly injured, but where it was Of the early
setting, this was damaged more or less,
The growers watch for these riffs of hail
with much anxiety, as in very few min
utes the years labor is lost. Topping
the tobacco is now in order. The crop
so far is pretty sure to be first class
one, and is looking as we'll as the aver
age for years, II not better.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Hatfield, July Is: The tobacco crop is
growing fast at this writing, with good
promise of full crop, except on very
light soil, covering but few acres in the
whole town. It is much better than
many thought before the warm weather
came No sales of the old goods are re-
ported" Whately, July Is: II have only
one sale of the 1902 tobacco to report, V,
d. Bradwell's crop at l8c. This was put
up and force sweated by Lemuel F..
Graves Of Whately and sold by him. Mr.,
Graves has had offers for some other
crops that he packed, but would rather
hold them than to sell at prices offered
at present. This years crop is looking
very good. Some have commenced top
ping Many claim that the crop is top
ping out too low. If they count the
leaves on these low plants they will find
from 16 to Is leaves on plant" North
Hadley, July 20: Tobacco as a whole is
looking rather poorly. There are some
good crops. The early crops are bud
ding low and will be lighter than de-
sired. Later set crops, if favored with
good weather from this on, will be fair.

A very quiet week is reported in do
nestle cigar leaf circles. Sampling of
the new crops is progressing rapidly, and
number of the leading packers expect
to finish up within the next few days.
Samplers of Connecticut report some
packings very badly damaged, while
others are almost free from defects.
Much depends on the nature of the to-
bacco and the manner in which it was
handled. Some of the tobacco went into
the cases in damaged condition, and it
could hardly be expected to show clean
bill of health at sampling time.
Sumetra.-Many houses record July as
the best month for business so far this
year. August has started out with less
activity, but there is some strong nib
bling and importers are hopeful of an
other good months trade. Several buy
ers are in town, and it is likely that some
good sized deals will be put through be-
fore another week goes by.
Havana.-"Little doing" is the pass
word in the Havana market just now.
Still, importers are not complaining.
Prices are firmly fixed at the top notch,
and holders of seryiceable leaf believe
that it is only matter of time when the
manufacturing and jobbing trade will be
scrambling for the goods. Leaf.

NOTE EOOR SKETCHES.

A summary of reports gathered from
about thirty different localities IN the to-
bacco growing sections at the instance OF
the Wis. Tob. Growers and Dealers as
sociation. indicates that the condition of
the growing crop at the beginning OF
August was sor points behind that OF
other years at mis- date. Some CORES
pondents complain of uneven growth
and of few late fields. The general
tenor, however, is Of very fair outlook.
Taking an average of the reports an
opinion is formed that there will be but
a slight increase in acreage over the crop
of last year. Some storms have occurred
since the reports were sent in that may
serve to reduce the estimates made. The
low temperature which has prevailed
throughout the country during the
most of July and so far in August IS
without question delaying the develop
ment of both the tobacco and corn crop
very materially. Warmer weather and
plenty of it must surely come if anything
like an average crop Of either of these
staples is to be harvested. While these
crops will grow during moderately cool
weather. neither will mature satisfac-
torily without the hot days of midsum-
mer Such continuously cool summer
throughout the entire country is almost
beyond record.

Farmers should beware of a new

agency and those who have been
unfortunate enough to get taken in
have found the patent tanks rather ex-
pensive propositions. It is worked in
this way. A man appears, who has a
patent non freezing tank for sale. If the
farmer makes the mistake Of listening to
the slippery agent, and buys one of the
tanks. he is given the exclusive agency
of several townships for their sale, and
that too without extra charge. The
simple request is made, however that he
sign three papers. The farmers sign,
and the papers in a few days turn into
notes.

Several showers of rain have refreshed
and improved the condition of the grow
ing crop. This years output will fall
short of the usual amount owing to pc
culiar climatic conditions. The cool,
damp weather following the planting,
followed by the hot and dry subsequent
period during the time the plants were
attaining their growth, played havoc
with the tender plants, and had the eff
feet of prematurely forcing them to top,
thus shortening the leaves. Buying of
1902 thinner continues at a moderate
rate.

The dullness of last week has been fol-
lowed by week Of lively trading. No
business was in sight week ago, but
the intervening time has been marked
by an active market. Few lines of trade,
perhaps, are more variable than that of
leaf tobacco. A busy week may be fol-

the succeeding one may again be full of
business. The sales, SO far as they have
been reported to us, are as follows: Kra-

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Aug. 13, 1908.

The weather continues generally fav-
orable for the growing crop and good
growth has been made during the past
week. The nights have been rather cool
of late and have been somewhat sugges-
tive Of frost. Now that small grain has
been harvested the farmers are turning
their attention more to tobacco, and
topping is the general order of the day.
In few of the earlier set fields harvest
ing will commence next week and soon
after that work will become general.
The prevailing feature of old leaf is
that of dulness, sales being confined to
small lots. The first important sale of
O2 since the sweating season began is
300cs sold by Geo. NJ. Decker to eastern
parties. This lot was a good one and
brought satisfactory figure.
