Officers of the Central Minnesota
Poultry association were elected for the
coming year at the meeting held last
Saturday afternoon in the board of trade
hall as follows: President, L. T. Smith !;
vice president, Fred Fisher; secretary, j.
w. HOLMAN; treasurer, Fl. w. Perry
advertising agent, Fred True.
The association voted to have show
next winter that is to eclipse all the
shows of poultry ever yet held in this
part of the state. The promoters are
indeed ambitious to get up an exposition
that will rival those that are ordinarily
held in the twin Cities A committee
consisting of the secretary and advertis-
ing agent was instructed to see about
what judges could be secured and at
what time their services would be avail
able. The time of the holding of the
next exposition will depend largely on
the engagements that can be made with
these judges.
The financial report showed that the
association came very much nearer to
clearing expenses at the recent show than
it did at the show held the winter pre-
vious. The members will again have to
go down in their pockets to make up the
deficiency, yet they do not mind that as
long as they can feel that they are fos-
tering an ever increasing interest in poul-
try and poultry raising in this part of
the state.
The association now has twenty five
members, having just about doubled its
membership during the past year.

From Mondays Daily.
City Attorney Daley scored neat
victory today in the district court, in
the case of G. M. Henderson against the
city of Mankato. Henderson sued the
city to recover $500 for the loss of his
horse by drowning during the high water
last spring, near where the railroad cul-
vert crosses Mound avenue. The trial
of the case began Saturday, and the
plaintiff did not rest until this forenoon.
As soon as the plaintiff had rested,
Mr.. Daley, who was defending the city,
sprung a motion to dismiss on the
ground that proper service of the no
tice of injury had not been made on the
city council, as required by the law of
1897. This law requires that the notice
shall be served on the city recorder or
on the aldermen individually thirty days
after the injury occurs. Long & Dyer,
attorneys for the plaintiffs, went by the
charter provision and served the notice
on the mayor. The charter provision
was amended by the law of 1897.
The court sustained the motion and
dismissed the case This is the only suit
against the city on the calendar of the
present term.

When a sale or two is made or few
boxes are bought now days it is looked
up to as a busy time, and this week
proves to be something out of the ordi-
nary for the present state of affairs in
tobacco circles. More visitors to this
market has not occurred during the past
season than has visited this city during
the present week and number of good
deals have been closed as the outcome.
There are few dealers still buying
the new leaf and among them are Geo.
Ell. Rumrill, who bought four car load
lot in and around Montfort, Grant
county; L. B. Carle & Son bought 163cs
of the old goods this week, 1901 1-O2, and
sold 201cs of the same; Fisher & Fisher
made sale of 73 boxes of 1902.
S. B., Heddles sampled l500cs lot of
1902 during the week. The inspection
was made by Mr.. A. FL. Clarke, the F.C.

and are reported to have picked up con-
siderable old leaf.

No industry has made such strides in
Greece of recent years as the culture of
tobacco. Till quite lately the tobacco
grown IN Greece WAS only smoked in the
kingdom itself. bat last year it began to
take its place in the European markets,
thanks TO the greater care taken in the
choice of plants ard IN their cultivation,
and also TO the monopoly which has
caused such a rise in the price of Turk
ish tobacco. In Greece there is no tax
on the growth OF tobacco, and there is
no monopoly, SO thaf no restraint is
placed on the cultivation OF the plant.
But, on the other hand, tobacco can only
be cut up, and cigarettes can only be
made in the STATE manufactures, where,
however, the merchants are allowed to
use their own machinery. A tax and
stamp duty has to be paid, which comes
to rather less than half a crown per
pound of tobacco. The state also re-
serves the right of manufacturing cigar
cite papers, and from this and from the
duty on tobacco Greece last year real
lied over half million sterling. The
cultivation of tobacco has been greatly
stimulated, and today Greece produces
four times as much as she needs for her
own consumption. The leaf has not got
the peculiar and delicate aroma which
distinguishes the very best Turkish, but
it is quite as good as the ordinary to-
bacco of Macedonia and Albania, much
of which has been sold in the European
market.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The tobacco in the towns west of the
river is, I think, about as nearly cleaned
up as is usual at this time of the year,
or, at least, so far as Massachusetts, is
concerned. In Connecticut there ap-
pears to be considerable stock left in the
farmers hands. The tobacco that was
grown on good sandy loan went first;
the other must follow later on. | wish
that better prices might have been pro-
cured but most of it went at low fig
ures, lower, in fact, than it ought to
have brought and much of this depre-
ciated value was owing to the cry of
poor crop. Many of those having good
tobacco sold at figures they were asham-
ed to give out. The trouble with the
farmers is that they have no orgauiza-
ton; one farmer sells at very moderate
| figures and refuses to give the prices to
his neighbors, for they have bound
themselves to the buyers not to disclose
the price. But in so doing the grower
| arouses the suspicion of his fellows.
They say: "A has sold his crop and will
not tell the price" and, putting this fact
and the cry of poor crop together, the
result may be figured out in one minute.
| And B says if [ can get - cents for my
crop I shall sell it now for the remedy
itstead of allowing grower A and b to
govern. Growers G, D and E make
study of the domestic-leaf product and
the condition of the great markets, and
tell those buyers that you have no Sc or
SC tobacco, but that when they want
better goods you think you have them

New York.
New YORK, May Il, 1904


The condition of the leaf market cor
responds to the season. But in any
other market of raw material, if the crops
had proved insufficient in both quantity
and quality as they have in regard to
the supply of cigar leaf, the off season
would have turned into very bedlam of
boom. It is recognized and uncon-
tradicted fact that our domestic wrap
per leaf supply will be the shortest al
most on record; that there is no visible
supply of that type in view except the
very limited quantity of Connecticut
broad leaf and Florida and that what
may be saved from the New England
Havana seed will hardly be enough to
serve the needs Of our little cigar indus
try. 1t has also become an established
fact that the new Sumatra crop is linn
tied in it's types available for the Ameri-
can market, and that prices at the in
scriptions so far have run far above the
figure paid for the crop offered at last
years Inscriptions. If such conditions
were to prevail in any other market of
raw material, there would be a run on
the visible supply of the old stock not
only, but also wild speculation, per
haps too wild, in contracting for suffi
cient supply of what was available in the
new crops. 1t is also we'll authenti
Gated fact that the binder supply is so
short as to approach famine. In the
market of any other raw material, the
raw stock of such type would advance
from day to day and manufacturers
would consider themselves lucky if they
could secure any quantity of old stock at
market rates. Lastly, it is 40 longer any
secret that the new Havana crop is late
| one, and that prices are being paid for
green Remedies which will buy right
here in the market old seasoned stock,
which means that the new, when ready
to be marketed, will command higher
price of about from five to ten cents.
And yet, with these .incontrovertibe
facts staring in the face of our manufac-
turers, transactions in old stocks do not
rise above demands for immediate needs.
Even If the output of our cigar industry
should run short during the current
year by couple of hundred millions as
compared with the output attained in
the two previous years, it will remain
large enough to be inconvenienced by
the conditions described. 1t is, there
fore, comprehensible to fathom the
motives which actuate manufacturers TO
pursue merely policy OF chance and
not of prudent fOresight.-JOurnal.

One of the most attractive displays in
the agricultural exhibit at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition is that of the Lam
caster County Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation and Lancaster Board of Trade,
showing some beautiful samples of last
years tobacco crop, says the Lancaster
New Era. It is conceded by good Judges
to be the fnest display of the kind in
the palace of agriculture, when width
and length of leaf and brightness and
uniformity OF color are considered. Ths
manner in which the tobacco is shown
also meets with general commendation.
Within a large frame, of the shape of a
"Keystone,' twelve feet in height by
twelve feet in width at the widest part,
are arranged some especially fine hands

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, May q, 1904

The buying movement is showing a
gradual decline in most all the growing
sections. A few buyers are still riding,
but the volume of transactions have
fallen off materially over former weeks.
Warehouse handling is still progressing
but good many packers are preparing
to close operations for the season. Re
handling of the early packed goods has
commenced with few firms where some
damage has already been found.
\ much better feeling pervades the
cured leaf markets, and an opportunity
is apparently at hand for disposing of
quite large quantities of these goods
held by local packers. 4 number of out
OF town buyers are in the state inspect
ing samples and several large trades are
under consideration. The most import
ant sale of old goods in some months was
closed during the week involving about
260Ocs by w. S. Brill for the account of
the United Cigar Manufacturers. This
includes 1300cs of the Marquisee pack
ing of 02 at GAINESVILLE and 1300cs Of the
the johnson packing of '0l at Westby.
The plant beds are coming along as
we'll as could be expected under the pre-
vailing weather conditions. The season
in general is late and the showing for
tobacco as favorable as other crops at
this date. Growers seem certain that
their plants will be ready by the time
the fields can be prepared to receive
them.
The shipments out of storage reach
II carloads, Slices, and two car loads of
bundle goods from this market to all
points for the week past

LANCASTER New ERA, May 16, 1904.

There is no dispute as to the situation
on the local market. Dealers are unani-
nous as to it's dullness, and hardly know
when to look for anything better. There
is very little tobacco held here, except
1901 crop and 1908 goods, the latter not
being all in the cases, and, of course, not
ready for the market until after mid
summer The demand for 1901 goods
does not improve, that we can see Now
and then few hundred tsixes are sold
to some manufacturer or speculator,
who either needs them or sees a bargain.
The only sales we have to record this
week are 200cs of 1901 goods, sold by D.
NJ. Weilman q Co, and 14Ocs OF l9Ol-2.3
goods, sold by B. F. Good & Co ,..
The plant beds are not making the
progress that is wished for, the nights
having bepn TOO COOL and Sunday and
Monday nights really cold, all of which
