WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS, June 26, 1908.
The planting of the new crop is getting
so we'll along that the end is almost in
sight in most of the growing sections,
and but for the delay IN the growth of
plants would have been completed be-
fore this date as the weather conditions
are exceptionally fine for this work
Rarely have the growers been favored
with such continued good weather, or
the soil kept in better condition for Sc
curing an even stand in the fields. Cool
weather that has contributed to this end
is holding back the growth of the early
set fields, but good root has already
been made and they are otherwise look
ing we'll.
In the cured leaf market nothing has
developed to vary the monotony of a
light trade invariably confined to small
lots to manufacturers. Conway Bros. &
Co. disposed of 2O0cs to various parties
of late An occasional lot of cased
goods is coming to the warehouses but
generally speaking no effort is being
made to increase the holdings of packers.
The prolonged cool weather of June is
delaying the sweating of the bulks and
some of the packers are keeping their
heating plants going to prevent the
checking of the cure.
The shipments out of storage continue
light and do not exceed 4O0cs for the
week past from this station to all points.
EVANSVILLE, WIS, June 25, 1903.
The variable weather and cold nights
of the past two weeks has had very re-
tarding effect on the growing plants and
many farmers who had expected to have
finished transplanting at this time are
but just we'll begun and the transplant
ing season will be at least week later
than the average season for this work.
About one third of the farmers have fin
ished planting and some have just be-
gun, with majority pretty we'll along
with the work. In some beds the young
plants seem to stand almost still and
make no growth. Warm weather is very
much desired and more rain. There are
frequent rains but too light TO do much
good.
The prevailing condition around the
warehouses is onegof dullness, so long
continued as to be irksome. A small
business in small lots is reported. John
Soulman is the only lucky man, having
sold seventy five cases Of 1901 to eastern
parties.
Friday evening about twenty-five of
the pioneers of the city surprised Hon.
Levi B. Carle at his home on st. Law
renee Place. The event was on the an
niversary of Mr.. Carle's birth. The
evening was pleasantly spent in social
converse, stories of pioneer days and
later fine refreshments were served.
"The Peoples Coal Co." of this city
was incorporated Tuesday with a capi-
tai of $4,000. The incorporators were S.
B. Heddles, Sanford Soverhill, E. M.
Calkins and Henry W. Scott. The last
will be the business manager and the
yard will be located near the warehouse
of Mr.. Heddles.
Geo. Ell. Rumrill closed his asserting
room after a continuous run of months,
the longest run of any of the local ware
houses. j. L. & M. F. Greene are work
ing small asserting force. About fif-
teen girls are employed on "strips' at
the Grundy warehouse. F. S. Baines
has finished rehandling a quantity of
Ohio thinner. HAVANA.
