the Wisconsin, are the only decent bind

One of the busiest places in Mianis
burg is the large tobacco warehouse on
South Second street, presided over by
Mr.. Alex Cans for the United Cigar
Manufacturing Co. of New York. Mr..
Cans is a hustler and has the warehouse
filled with $50 employees busily engaged
in rehandling. They are buying heavily
and have been receiving every day for
several weeks. Tuesday 450cs were TAX
en- in. Several thousand cases have
been received and the force of rehandlers
and spriggers will have employment all
winter.
Last Friday morning the frame ware
house owned by Newton j. Groby, in the
souSh end of town, was discovered on
fire. The building was formerly the pop
factory and is located near the railroad.
The fire department promptly got to the

Mr. Groby mad 154 cases of tobacco in
the building. There was $4,000 insur-
ance on stock and $500 on the building,

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, August u, 1904.
There is little riding in the country
districts and picking away at the rem
nants of cased goods remaining in first
hands, otherwise the local tobacco mar
kets are extremely quiet. The following
sales have come to notice since last re-
port:
McComb Bros, 63cs '02 at Sc.
0. A. Thoreson, 51cs O1 at 50, 5&2c.
Mrs. 0. p Saunders, 32cs '01 at SAFE.
A. johnson, 42cs 'O1 at 7&2c.
Ole Anderson, 23cs 'O1 at SC.
The drouth over the southern growing
sections was broken Tuesday by copi-
Gus rain, and if followed by warm wealth
er there is yet hope that the medium set
fields will develop good tobacco. A late
fall will be necessary to complete any
thing like satisfactory crop. Tobacco
is such recuperative plant and natures
so rapidly under favorable weather there
is no telling at this date what the har-
vest will yet be. The situation is much
more encouraging at this writing.
The shipments out of storage to all
points from this market do not exceed
500cs for the week past.

The dull season will probably end with
the close of this week. The first contin-
gent of Western buyers is expected to
be in town by next week, IA their fore
runners, their local brokers, have arrived
already. But they will hardly find an
enticing field to operate in. The new
crops, with but limited exception, are
sorely afflicted with defects which will
make trading in them an anxious ven
ture. And yet they will have to take
them and make the best of it. For there
cannot be falling back on old stock as
the same has been SO thoroughly lifted.

Held back by the somewhat unsatisfac-
tory condition of the cigar industry dur
ing the past fiscal year, they have clear
ed off their stock without adequately
replenishing it and have now empty
warehouses on hand which they will
have to fill if they are to continue to do
business. And a good business is in
view for them. If the past fiscal year

ed only reduction of twenty-five mill
lions and half in the output of our
cigar industry maintaining the phenom-
email increase by six hundred millions of
the previous fiscal year, our cigar indus
try, even if it should remain stationary
for another year, would still need leaf
supply for seven billions and half of
large and small cigars. This means a
supply of at least one hundred and
twenty-five million pounds of cigar leaf
and to fill such a supply the bad and in
different will have to be consumed along
with the good.-Journal.

The weather conditions for the past
few days have been very favorable to
the growing crop and the crop as
whole is in good condition. With con-
tinued favorable weather conditions for
few weeks more the prospects will be
excellent for fine crop this season. A.
Heinke is still handling Ohio purchases,
recently made by him, at his warehouse.
A few small shipments have been made
from the local warehouses during the
past week.
South Granby-The crop is not look
ing as favorable as it might, it being too
wet in some places. A severe electrical
storm passed over here last Thursday
doing some damage. South of us hail
fell and did some damage to the tobacco
other crops, but no hail fell here to
amount to anything.-Gazette.

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Aug. Ill, l9O4.
Little change has been manifest in the
leaf market this week from that of last,
there being about the same amount of
cases sold, and perhaps little more of the
1903 being bought.
There is no asserting in progress now,
the last dealer of the city to close his
room for the season being Robert Erler
who shut down Tuesday morning of this
week. At the closing of this house a
most pleasant affair took place. Mr.
Erler had made ample preparations for
the occasion and had on hand an abun-
dant supply of ice cream and cake, after
which the employees in return of their
high esteem for their employer presented
to him handsome silver cup of gold lin
ing and spoon. Yet these gifts are not
to remain in his possession long, for
there arrived in town few days ago an
heir to these treasures.
Geo. H. Rumrill broke through the
lines and put dull times at his place to
fight by buying seven cars of 1903 goods
from the north section of the state, and
sold 438cs of 1900 OIL during the week.
Fisher & Fisher bought 51cs of 1901
and report the shipments as very light.
The growing leaf in this section is not
what could be desired, the leaf being
narrow and the plants low.

sold by |. Fl. Weaver; in all, 1101cs. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were 16S5cs.
During the past week the growing
crop made excellent progress. We had
continuation of light showers and
warm weather, so the plants could do
nothing but grow, and grow they did as
they have seldom done before. So far
the crop has escaped serious harm, ex
cept only the heavy hail and washing
rains that fell very early in the season,
while the plants were so small that
prompt recovery was possible. With a
month of good weather, we can conf
IDENTIFY look forward to large and pay
ing crop.

The home market for cased leaf shows
a decided improvement over last week,
and is further encouraging from the fact
that the transactions were mostly in 100.
and 1903 goods. AS every week sees
some of last years crop sold, as we'll as
that of 1901, it may be taken for granted
goods from manufacturers, which leads
to the conclusion that business will show
up briskly in the near future, all of
which, along with the promising condi
ton of the growing crop, is matter for
congratulation. The sales that have
come to our notice are 400cs sold by
