WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EpGERToN, Wis.,, Oct. q, 100:

%0HhAAS&>s F" ASst Wv -, ApOIs
The buying movement is progressing
quietly in most of the growing districts
none of the old time competition in trad.
ing, however, being visible. The most
desirable lots are being sought out and
contracted for whenever they can be Sc
cured at prices round about the s cent
mark. In the aggregate several thous-
and acres have been taken over recently
in which the American Cigar Co. are the
heaviest buyers, as their men are out in
;all sections.
Sales of the new crop coming to notice
are:
S. Eyre, Ga at SIC: 5a at 61s&lc.
M. Kenseth, 6a at S1a&1c.

Old leaf is receiving a good deal of at
tention of late and number of fair siz-
ed transactions are reported. The most
important ones of the week are the sale
of the Soverhill packing at GAINESVILLE of
'03, some 1700cs; as we'll as 700cs pack
ing of A. N. Jones to FL. w. Child, who
also bought 61cs of '02 from G. D. Sill
verthorn, a Footville packer. Other
movements are noted by our GAINESVILLE
correspondent embracing satisfactory
movement in cured stock.
Old goods remaining in growers hands
are also moving freely, but generally at
low prices on an export or stripping
basis.
The weather conditions have contin-
ued decidedly favorable for the curing of
the hanging crop, which now promises
to reach a satisfactory cure even to the
the late harvested portion.
Shipments out of storage reach but
2OOcs for the week past to all points
from this market.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The delightful Indian summer wealth
er that has prevailed of late has been
especially providential for the curing of
the late harvested tobacco which is now
curing down SO satisfactorily that it bids
fair to come through before any of the
hard freezes likely to bring about fat
stems. The harvest was so belated that
much fear has been entertained all along
that tobacco shielded the latter part of
September could scarcely reach salts
factory cure under the ordinary weather
conditions, but the fall has brought ex-
ceptional weather and at the present
writing most of the hanging leaf is al
ready passed all danger. The curing
season throughout has been much more
favorable to the tobacco growers than
usual, and brighter colors will prevail in
the cured leaf than generally found in
Wisconsin tobacco. The early harvested
portion of the crop is now entirely cured
out and stripping could commence at
almost any time after casing weather,
provided growers could be spared from
other fall work to attend to it. So large
portion of the crop has been contracted
for in advance the indications now point
to an early starting of the warehouse
season if farmers can be prevailed upon
to prepare their tobacco for market dur
ing November.

Speaking of the condition of the cigar
manufacturing trade the Z. S. Tobacco
Journal says: at is a long time since
the aspect of the market has been so
uniformly cheerful. No boom exists,
but the healthy and increasing volume
of business is of a character to insure
present prosperity and give hopes of
good times ahead. Particularly is this
the case with the clear Havana manu-
fscturers who declare that rarely have
their prospects looked so bright. Not
that the seed manufacturers are doing
badly far from it. The demand is high
ly satisfactory, and as yet there is no
particular difficulty in meeting it. The
future, however, is clouded by the posi-
bility of shortage of raw material and
seed manufacturers expect to have to pay
high for desirable leaf But the most
reliable testimony to the healthy condi-
tion of the trade comes from the box
makers whoreport an unusually heavy
demand for their product, thus afford
ing a practically infallible index of the
prosperity of the industry.

As Complied From Dispatches From
Various Sources.
New York Toxic sent out a report
Thursday to the effect that Vice Adj
mlral Togo had made another attack
on Port Arthur on the night Of March
30-S1, but as st. Petersburg had not
heard of the report, and as yiceroy
Alexieff was at Port Arthur Thursday
and reviewed the squadron, the Toxic
story probably had no foundation in
fact.
That Japan's losses in killed and
wounded in the Chong Ju engagement
were moro serious than reported in
the original dispatches seems to be
proved by supplementary messages
from Korea to st. Petersburg. The
Japanese wounded were conveyed
from the dield BY hundreds Of Korean
