The Agricultural department reports
the average production in Wisconsin in
1904 slightly less per acre than in 1903;
some reports of shortage in the crop,
but it is difficult to estimate at this time
as the tobacco has not been taken from
the poles. In the northern part of the
gro wing section the quality of the crop
is very fine: in the southern part the
crop is sound, but not as leafy as that OF
1903. Early crops are very good, yield
ing 1900 to 140O pounds per acre: the
later crops will be poor and short in
yield, not over 900 pounds per acre.

A Cooperative Tobacco factor

A Cooperative Tobacco factory has
been incorporated in Chicago, with
temporary office at 204 East Lake street.
I. Latzar, the we'll known leaf man is the
prime mover. The practical men inter
ested in the movement and whom it is
presumed will have active charge of the
factory, if it naterializes, are Charles FL.
Shaeffer formerly of the Spaulding &
Merrick factory: Simon Lichtenstein,
formerly of the Cradle & Strotz factory
and Charles Beck, formerly of the Aug
ust Beck & Co. factory. A prize of 500
in gold is offered to any storekeeper,
man or woman who suggests a name
which is accepted for new brand OF
smoking tobacco

LANCASTER NEW ERA, NOV. 8, I1U4.
Election day makes most men busy,
but the tobacco packers say it is very
dull in their line, made so by these same
politics, and we have no reason to ques-
ton what they say Every good party
man remains at home at this time to
cast his vote, and perhaps to make few
others do so, so we always look for dull
times at Presidential election week. The
sales that have been reported to US are
Isles sold by l. FL. Weaver: 125cs of 1908
goods sold by Mr.. Jacob Mayer, and 1856
cases of 1901 crop sold by Hildebrand &
Co in all, 46Scs. For the correspond
ing week of last year the sales were 1440
cases.
The buying of the new crop continues,
and along about the same lines as noted

NUMBER so

last week, A good many of the old
packers shake their heads and keep
wondering what it all means, and how
the money is to be got out of it again.
That is matter that has no doubt been
well considered by the buyers, and there
we will leave it. One element of uncer-
tainty has also apparently been over
looked. The weather has been dry ever
since the new crop has been put into the
barns and the goods could not be ex-
amined, which adds another uncertainty
to the usual risk.

SUGAR BEET ACREAGE.

To show how much the sugar beet
growing has encroached upon tobacco
growing territory of the state we submit
the following table of statistics of the
crop of 1904, compiled from the asses
sors returns made to the State Board of
Agriculture. The only tobacco counties
where sugar beets have cut in are Rock,
Dane, Dunn, Chippewa and Jefferson.

We present herewith statistics from
the principal tobacco growing counties
of the state, the figures being taken
Dropping all counties that do not pro-
duce 100 acres, we have the following
table in comparison with the statistics
in 1908. The acreage reported in 1901
was 34,019 acres and in 1902 &c., 174 acres.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 1904.

The market conditions have not
changed materially since our last re-
port. Sales of 1908 Pennsylvania Broad
leaf BIS and 1908 thinner Spanish seem
to predominant. 1t is reported that the
1904 Havana Seed will not yield as much
light tobacco as was expected, in conse-
quence of which packers have become
more conservative. and will examine the
field more closely before purchasing.
Sumatra-The goods purchased at the
last inscriptions are beginning to arrive.
Transactions keep up, and business has
been very good.
Havana-There has been more activ
ity in this line than for some weeks past.
The fact that with the orders for the
goods comes also the orders for ship
ment. indicates that the buying is by
persons in immediate need of the stock,
and not for speculative purposes.-Leaf.

|. DIR. Lyman Abbott says: ''Scienc9,
literature and history tell us that there
is one eternal energy; that the Bible

all laws, a gradual growth, and that

Now that DR.. Abbott has discovered Il at
