that the last quarter Of the year Is
going to be the best for this branch
Of industry. Railroad managers lool,
for heavy traffic during the fall and
winter, and as labor agitation sub
sides the business improvement
seems likely to extend. Our political
situation presents no disturbing Is

score are needless. The monetary
situation also continues favorable, in
asmuch as the crop demands, which
will begin shortly are not likely to in,
terfere with easy rates for money.

parts of the country, and the New

heaviest surplus of the last ten years.
Gold exports have commenced and
seem likely to continue, especially in
view of short supply Of grain bills

should soon be plentiful. Moreover,
the loss of few millions would be
slightly felt here and would be bene'

is necessary on this account. In fact,
any improvement in London would
quickly be reflected here. and if gold
commands better rates in London
than here it is for the common good
to allow its departure. The foreign

was good buying on the opening de-

since been good sales on hard splits.
Northwest was buyer early and has
sold since. Minneapolis started out
weak. turned strong, then broke. This
market has been affected somewhat
by that and because it was thought

Banking in the Territories.

That the national banking business
in Oklohoma and Indian territories is
prosperous is conclusively shown by q
statement just made public by the con-
troller of the currency. From March
II, 1900. to Nov. 80, 1908, eighty ma
tional banks were organized in Okla
homa with total capitalization of 81
PAS, coo. OF the eighty national banks
organized in Oklahoma during this pc
ried seventy-one have a capitalization
of less than $4,000 each, footing up
q total OF $1,795, 900 capital stock. In
Indian Territory there were sixty-four
banks in this class organized with a
total capital stock of 81 1,665, 900. Nine
national banks were organized in Ok
lahoma with a capital stock OF 200
or over for each bank. the aggregate
capital stock of nine banks being $3.50
600. There were thirteen similar ma
tional banks organized in Indian Ter
ritory during the same period with a
total capital stock of s755. 900. The in
crease in the growth of national banks
in Indian and Oklahoma territories ex-
ceeded that of any state in the Union.

Timely Hints on Giving.

We should not give people things
they do not want.
We should avoid giving anybody the
mumps or the chicken-pox if we can
help it.
Do not give friend the cold shoul-
der without baked beans and hot cof-
fee to go with it.
A man should not give lady a kiss
unless he thinks she would enjoy it,
except in the case of his wife and his
mother-in-law.
Do not give red suspenders to a to-
tai stranger; he might prefer those of
"a pale blue shade instead.
Do not present bucking broncho to
"a tall, pale man of sedentary habits
as he would not likely live long to en-
joy it.

worth and not merely as an evidence

In domestic leaf there has been little
doing in the local market during the
past week, unless we may quote an
active inquiry for what little is left of
fine 1902 Pennsylvania Broad leaf, and a
continued demand for old Little Dutch.
Sumatra.-This market appears to be
abnormally slow with some local houses,
while others are fairly busy, and all ac-
knowledge considerable inquiry and nu-
merous small purchases, mostly of
Western origin. Several of the larger
holders of new crop stock report active
sales, and in one instance they amounted
for the week to over 600 bales.
Havana.-This market remains dull
Santa Clara prices are firm. Aside from
the scarcity of goods in the market, the
abnormally high prices being paid in
Cuba for the new tobacco will necessi-
tate the realization of not less than 50
cents, with correspondingly high prices
for first capaduras-sa not less than 80
cents. The local stocks of Santa Claras
are practically nil at present.-Leaf

LANCASTER NEW ERA, May a, 1904.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, May a, 1904.
But one note was heard while making
tour of the tobacco district this morn
ing, and that one sounded the story of
the prevailing dullness in the cased leaf
trade The unanimity in the trade on
this point is so complete that one is COM
PEELED to believe that we have fallen on
dull times. 1t is little unwise to pre-
dict in the tobacco trade. but it does
look as if it would be some time before
there is turn in the tide.
The market this time last year was in
striking contrast with it's present con-
dition, the sales for the corresponding
week in May, 1908, having been l456cs.
Packers are still busy with putting
their 1908 purchases into boxes. A good
many dealers have finished, but those
who have kept on buying until now are
still at work in asserting their purchases.
Here and there we learn that farmers
have set out some plants, but their num-
ber is very few. In long drive into the
country on Saturday last we did not see
single field in which any plants had
been set The plants in the seed beds
are coming on very nicely, and we saw
some that are about ready to be set out.
The weather is now warm, and they
ought to grow rapidly.

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, May 81, 1904.

Although there were but a few sales
made here during the week, one Of them
is the equal of an ordinary weeks busi-
ness; 140O boxes is the tune of the trans
action and was closed by S. B. Heddles.
It consists of 'Ol and 'O2 leaf and goes to
Philadelphia firm. A sale of this kind
seems to be very rare occurrence in
this section now days and whoever ac-
complishes such deal is looked upon as
most lucky fellow.
In general the market has been very
quiet here during the past few days and
the only other deal that is worth the
mention was that made by E, L. Erler ef
8Ocs of 'O1 and reported to have been
bought by Cincinnati house.
There are few still buying the Low
leaf and among those are E. M. Calkins,
who is now in SunPrairie making prepa-
rations to ship several cars to this city
on the coming Saturday, and Samuel
Grundy will ship four car load lot from
that place on the same date. The other
buyers that are still in the field are Geo.
FL. Runlrill, Norm Carle and Al. Jones.
The majority of the warehouses that are
still sorting expect to continue opera
tions in that part of the industry for
another four weeks.
Edward SiHnonson of Stoughton, was a
visitor to this market on Tuesday.
The plant question seems to be any
thing but encouraging, and unless the
weather makes some sudden changes
and warns up the planting will retarded
to great extent and will undoubtedly
not take place until the latter part of
June.

Our cigar and tobacco industry receiv-
ed severe setback during the month
of April Their output during that
month shows considerable reduction
with but single exception, and that ex-
ception is the little cigar The output
of full hedged cigars fell off 80, ,995, 740 in
a total of 53l, ,lS5, ,923. The only redeem
ing feature in this general slump is pre-
sented by the output of little cigars
which shows an increase of 1858, ,796.
But this remarkable increase in the out
put OF little cigars which is effected at
the expense OF the full hedged cigars,
and which has been going on for the
past few months, serves as barometer
of the pinching times which have come
over US. If people take to smoking the
cheaper little cigars in place of full
dedged cigars convincing proof is offer
ed of the reduced earning capacity of the
people and of the necessity of saving in
the qualification of their comforts.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

| notice that the insurance companies
have in this section stopped placing in
surance upon new tobacco hanging in
the sheds, and will not insure any more
tobacco until it is stripped, cased and
stored in some of the different ware
houses. Does that imply that the farm
ers are not honest enough for their risks
to be taken? The trouble is not so
much in the burning of few tobacco
sheds. as it is in the methods of the in
surance companies. They want to look
the buildings over, take their measure
ments, and make full description. If
they would place man in the different
towns where tobacco is raised and have
this man appraise the crop to be insured
they would meet with fewer losses, and
honest growers would not need to suffer
for the shortcomings of few men who
wish to sell very badly, and few agents
who live on the percentage of the poll
cies issved. If these companies will
place an expert in the business and have
those crops inspected, it would save
sonae worry to honest growers.
The plants are forging ahead, and this
week will see great many acres set. but
next week will be more likely to see the
rush of the season. Some OF the farm
ers are beginning to hold back their
plants little, for I hear Of many who
think that early May setting is little
too early. About the last week of May
and the first week of June will give as
good or perhaps better quality than the
earlier setting. Our own beds are held
back for that very reason. But early or
late setting is nothing if the land is not
in proper condition. If it is important
to raise good plants, it is just as impor
tant to have the land thoroughly fitted
and we'll manured. Remember that last
year was poor year, so try and produce
large crop and good crop, for the to-
bdcco was never more needed than it is
at present. There is very little in the
market, and what is held by the dealer
is of poor quality. So be up and doing
and try to produce the largest and best
crop of the decade. The conditions of
the great markets remains about the
same as last week.-Cultivator.

Art of Keeping Cigars Good.

A good cigar, with a natural bouquet,
will keep for ten years without losing its
aroma if not permitted to dry out. But
once it becomes dry it is done for and
the flavor can never be restored. The
same rule holds good with all tobacco.
Many man takes JOY in what he regards
as fresh weed, but which, in reality,
has been stored away in a damp place
until it is ready for the market During
the summer months, say from April to
November, cigars and tobacco will draw
sufficient moisture from the atmosphere
to keep them properly, If the air is al
lowed to get at them, but during the rest
of the year water must be provided for
them. A well-equipped cigar store keeps
shallow pans beneath every shelf, coun-
ter and show case, with openings il the
latter which will permit the moisture to
reach their contents. Where there is a
damp, heavy atmosphere, such as in sea
coast towns, the problem of the dealer is
to keep his stock dry, especially in sum
mer. Away from the sea coast the stu
alton is just the opposite, but very lit
tie care, which anyone would be able to
give, is all that is required to keep ci-
gars or tobacco of any kind at their best
for an indefinite period

Buying tobacco from country hands is
still going on in a moderate way in many
of the growing districts but the aim of
late is mainly directed 70 securing as
sorted lots for which better prices are
willingly paid when satisfactory goods
are found. The greater share OF the
bundle goods has doubtless been mar
keted, and where growers have their to-
bacco cased they are in position to de-
mand better figures or carry them over
the summer. Buyers in the field claim
about 25 per cent of the crop remains
