EVANSVILLE, Wis, Feb. 5, 1908.

Local packers are principally engaged
in receiving the numerous deliveries by
the farmers and keeping the large as
sorting forces working smoothly. Now
and then buyer starts out in quest of
the remnants of the 1902, but few pur-
chases are made. With the advent of
good weather there are several who will
start out for selections. There are quite
a number of farmers in this section who
have not sold and they are getting ready
to sell before the coming of spring wealth
er. This makes it somewhat easier to
make deal than for several months be-
fore.
Old goods are receiving more.attention
and better sales are reported. j. i. &
M. E. Greene sold 140cs of 1900 E. S.
Baines sold 10Ocs export, Rudolph &
Donahoe sold 25cs of strips and L. B.
Carrie q Son purchased Toes 1901 OF
farmers and report a good sale of small
lots to manufacturers. One of the larg-
est sales reported for several months is
the sale of 400cs of Little Dutch, sold by
Samuel Grundy. This includes his en-
tire holdings of Little Dutch and was
sold at good figure.
E. Leoni and Ell. Horstman of Mann
helm, Germany, were here Monday and
Tuesday and conferred with their local
representative, Sanford Soverhill They
left this morning for Mexico where they
will inspect the tobacco of that section.

The recent thaw has moistened up the
tobacco hanging in the sheds and large
amount has been taken down during the
last day or two. Twenty-four hours
more of the mild weather will probably
permit all of the new crop to be taken
down. The buying of the new crop has
not yet commenced, although few pur-
chases have been reported as having
been made by G. r. Northrop. J. Wess
ley Morris of Troy, Ohio, has been regis
tered at the Riverside hotel and has been
riding but is not reported as having
bought. M. Rosenthal, of NJ. RosenthaV
q Co of Lancaster, Pa, has been regis
tered at the Seneca House and on Wed
nesday the balance of the J. w. Upsom
packings, consisting of 300 cases, princi-
pally Connecticut binders and seconds,
were purchased by Mr.. Rosenthal and
M. Tobin, the firms local representative
&. G.. Munroe is at Elmira, receiving
purchases made by him for the Ameri-
can Cigar Co.-Gazette.

there has been some business doing right
along; enough to keep the trade in good
heart and with very reasonable expecta-
tions that things will improve as the
weeks move along. The sales that have
been reported to us are 350cs of 1900 and
1901 goods sold by |. FL. Weaver; 150cs
sold by Samuel Sissel, and 146cs bought
and 52cs sold by Meiskey & Heiland: in
all, 69Scs. For the corresponding week
of last year 2S0cs were sold.
In addition to the changes heretofore
announced in the tobacco trade, we also,
notice the dissolution of the partnership
of the firm of B. f. Good Il Co., by the
retirement of Joseph Sondheimer. The
old firm is replaced by new one, under
the former firm name Of B. f. Good &.
Co., and will continue to do business at
the old stand, on North Market street.
The new firm is busily engaged in pack
ing some very choice tobacco of the new
crop.
There is not much buying of the last
years crop reported. One reason is be-
cause there is not much of it left in the
farmers hands, and another because
nearly all who want it have already Sc
cured all they care for. No doubt few
thousand cases could still be picked up.

SUMNER j. COLLINS, formerly general
superintendent of the Wisconsin Central
railroad, has been appointed general sup
erintendent of the Eastern division of
the Southern railway. This is one of
the largest railways in the south. He
took charge of his new work Feb. l. The
general perintendency of the eastern
district of the Southern railway is said
by local railroad men to be one OF the
most important positions of the kind on
any railroad in this country. Mr.. Col
Inns will have direct charge of 1888 miles
of track, through Pennsylvania, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Virginia, Georgia,
North and South Carolina, and Florida.
It is said that his salary probably will
be near $4,000 year. The eastern di-
vision comprises seven divisions. Mr..
Collins headquarters will be in Sails
bury, NC. The Southern railway, CON
trolled largely by j. P. Morgan & Co.. is.
the largest railway system in the South.
having 100 miles of track under opera
ton. The principal line of the Southern,
proper is from Washington to jackson
vile, Fla. BY control of the Queen and
Crescent and Mobile and Ohio, the
Southern had direct lines from Mobile
to st. Louis, and from j cksonville to
Cincinnati. The Southern also has
terminal in New Orleans. The Southern
railway is bounded on the north by Gin
Memphis, Tenn, and Greenville, Miss,
on the south by New Orleans and Mo-
bile, and on the east by Washington.

One hundred teams in line and red
hot race through main street to deter
mine who should be the first to unload,
was novel and pretty sight on Wednes-
day. The deliveries have been very
brisk during the past week, and all ware
houses are now running in full blast.
Several car loads of bundle goods have
gone forth during the week to neighbor-
ing towns, as we'll as several car loads of
old to Eastern market.
Ell. A. Bergom disposed of 20 cases of
1901 at 9&3c.
0. K. Roe went to DeForest Tuesday
to look after his interests in that section.
20. Bakke delivered his 1902 crop to

But very little riding is now being
done, previous purchases being adequate
for the time being.
The new crop is turning out excep-
tionally good, as it is discovered as it
passes over the asserting table and with
the prevailing prices the grower and
dealer are both happy. Courier.

Some riding in the country districts is
being resumed again by buyers in search
of both old and new leaf. While the vol
ume of business is not large it is all the
time reducing the amount of unsold to-
bacco in growers hands. Sales coming
to notice are:

The only important sale of cased leaf
for the week is the purchase of the
Espeseth packing of choice Vernon Co.
1901 leaf, of 600cs from Fred Eckhart
by E. G. Tallard for the account of Mey
er & Mendelsohn, New York dealers.
Bad weather has broken into the vol
ume Of deliveries of new goods during
the week but the warehouses have suffi-
cient stock on hand to keep full forces
at work at the packing points, where as
sorting is being crowded along as rapid
ly as possible.
The shipments out of storage reach II
car loads, 838cs, ard two car loads of bun
die goods, from this station to all points
for the week past. Twenty-eight car
loads of bundle goods were received from
outside points for handling here.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81, 1903

NEW YORK, Jan. 81, 1908.
The market the past week was not bad
nor was it rushing. The chief demands
are for old filters and binder stock. AL
most everybody seems to want now the
1900 Pennsylvania. and the 1900 Wiscon-
sin is being cleared off fast, too. Sample
bales of the shade grown Connecticut
are being called for from nearly every
part of the country, and the Florida leaf
seems to have become a staple wrapper
on its own merits. But the Sumatra is
not suffering in any way from this com
petition. Sales this week have improved
over the weekly average since New Year,
and are bound to increase in proportion.
In the Havana market quite buoyant
feeling is noticeable, as the demand for
old Remedies is getting stronger and
stronger, with the result of advancing
the price. Holders of old Remedies are
no longer over anxious to part with their
stock at former prices, as buyers are now
willing to pay for it good, round, stiff
figure. Factory vegas have become al
together too scarce, and there is hardly
a prospect for those who have failed to
provide themselves with Havana wrap
per leaf to secure it.-Journal.

At last the buying of the 1902 crop has
commenced and sales are becoming more
numerous every day. The principal bus
mess is in thinner Spanish, which is
selling freely at from to Sc, and the
largest independent cigar manufactur-
ing company in the country has been
buying liberally at these figures and
others are falling in line. Stripping has
been going on actively and very large
proportion Of the work has been com
pleted, SO deliveries may shortly be ex-
pected, in anticipation of which ware
houses are being prepared for the sea-
sons work.

Sales continue, but at rates much
lower than in the fall. Occasionally
crop is sold nearly as high as was prom
ised in October and November. With
many who bargained their crops then,
the packers have Cancelled the trade; the
grower must be content to throw off sew
eral cents pound or seek some other
buyer. The great trust, the American
Tobacco Company, Cancelled the sales,
and other parties have bought many
such lots of leaf at from to &c less than
their first sale. Much good leaf has
been bought as low as Is TO l5c that the
grower expected would net him from Is
to &c in the bundle.

A Washington correspondent to an
eastern trade journal is of the opinion
that neither the Cuban reciprocity
treaty nor the Philippine tariff will pass
the Senate at this session of Congress.
This means that the Senate will not be
able to pass any measures and that the
treaty with Cuba will not be ratified at
this time and that the Philippine
tariff bill will die with this Congress.
There has been but small opposition in
the matter of petitions and memorials to
the tobacco legislation now before Con-
gress that is to say it certainly does not
make itself apparent at the capitol.
Probably it is felt that no influence can
be brought to bear that will prevent the
Cuban treaty and Philippine tariff bill
from being passed, but at the same time
the possibility Of being able to modify
both of these measures to large extent
is overlooked almost entirely by those
who should be sending delegations to
Washington for the purpose of repre-
senting the vast tobacco interests of the
United States.

Tobacco growers, under the rules of
the Internal Revenue Department, are
not permitted to do more with their to-
bacco than deliver the leaf in it's natural
condition. That is to say, they may cure
it and pack it in the leaf. But that is
all. Whenever they go beyond this they
are entering into the business Of the
manufacturers. Growers, under the law,
are not permitted to strip tobacco, nor
twist, roll, sweeten, or in any other way
prepare it for market, beyond curing the
natural leaf. Planters who wish to stem
their own tobacco have to register as a
dealer in leaf tobacco, and comply with
all the requirements of such dealer.
Restrictions would also be put upon
their sales, as they would only be per
mitted to sell to other registered Dealers
manufacturers of tobacco and cigars,
and those who buy leaf tobacco for ex-
port exclusively.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

Statistics furnished by the Internal
Revenue department show a remarkable
increase in the output of cigars during
the calendar year of 1902 amounting to
nearly five hundred million in the total
figures. At the same time there has
been marked decline il little smokes
or small cigars manufactured. The price
cutting in the cent brands of cigars is
doubtless the cause in the decline OF
favor in the little cigar trade. When
the economically inclined smoker can
get two and three big smokes for nick
ell his wants are supplied without resort
ing to the little smokes whose quality is
always in question. The analysis of the
figures shown in the revenue returns in
dicate that the consumption of cigar leaf
holds at the high water mark, which is
the most important fact that interests
the producer of domestic leaf. There is
apparently no in. mediate prospect of an
overproduction.

The pamphlet, "Stassfurt Industry, .
just published, contains an interesting
description of the famous potash mines
in Germany, from which all the potash
imported into this country and used for
fertilizing is derived. The chapter about
the use of potash in agriculture as one
of the important ingredients of COM
plete fertilizer, adds largely to the value
of the book, and among the many fine
illustrations those showing the expert
ments at Southern Pines, n. O., are of
peculiar interest to practical farmers.

The Chicago s. Alton officials have

Chicago and Kansas City and with
every prospect Of success. The Burl-
ington has. enjoyed this business for
years, although a longer route. The
Alton has improved its power and rock
bed 50 materially that it can success
fully complete with any OF its rivals
and can afford to make a lower bid
than any other road. The roads after
it are the Alton, Burlington, Rock
Island, and Santa Fe. There viii be
four car and occasionally five and
nothing but mail is carried, no passen-
gers or express being permitted. 1t is
planned 10 send this train out Of Chi
cago and Kansas City at 3 q. m. The
west bound will reach Bloomington at

sas City at l p. M, utilizing but ten
hours for the run. The Hummer re-
quires fifteen, but makes a great many
stops. II is needless 10 say that the
run will be very fast and only first class
engines win be used. The PA ana -
have been selected in case that the
contract is secured. 1t viii be known

successful. The Alton officials are
very hopeful that they win win out.
The business is very profitable, Uncle

very welcome but the name Of being
