The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1905-02-17
The report of the committee on reso
lutions was adopted as follows:


Resolved, BY the Tobacco Growers and Deal
ers' Association, that we recognize the need OF
more scientific knowledge concerning the
growing curing ana sweatng Oh ionacco co ae 1he
state experimental station is entitled to the
support and encouragement OF the state, AMI
we urge our representatives in the legislature
to pass the bill calling for an appropriation to
continue experimental work IN tobacco lines.
Resolved, BY the Wisconsin Tobacco Dealers
and Growers Association, that the present
tariff rate on tobacco from forelgn countries Is
satisfactory to all branches of the domestic
trade, and we urge our representatives, IN Con-
gresS to use their influence to maintain the eX-
listing rate of duty. We are especially opposed
to the admission of Philippine tobacco as pro
posed by the Curtis bill as discriminating
against the home producer and manufacturer
and disturber OF trade conditions.
Resolved, That we regard with great interest
the work of the Bureau of Plant Industry OF
the Agricultural Department and urge our
representatives in Congress TO continue the
appropriation for extended Investigations
Resolved, That we urge tobacco growers to
successfully cultivate and handle without I'M
poverishing the soil. Less acreage and better
cultivation is the highway 70 success
The opposition of the tobacco trade to
the proposed reduction in the duty on
Philippine cigars and tobacco as urged
by Secretary of War Taft and embodied
in the Curtis bill now before the Ways
and Means Committee of the House of
Representatives, and which provides for
a reduction to % per cent of the present
Dingley tariff rates, has become general
throughout the United States. Every
petition received is couched in strong
terms of opposition and urges Congress
not to interfere with the present tariff
schedules on Philippine cigars and to-
bacco 1t is extremely doubtful in view
OF 80 strong protest if the bill will be
reported for passage.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS. Feb. II, 1905.

HDGEkTON, WIS, II 60. Ii, lSUO.
A week of extreme winter weather and
several clustering storms have served to
reduce the tobacco movement in country
districts to very light proportions. The
drifted roads and zero temperature have
kept dealers near at home as we'll as pre-
cluded much delivery at receiving points.
Under less discouraging conditions the
buying movement might continue for
both old and new leaf, as the disposition
to increase the holdings of these goods is
evident. Sales of the new crop coming
to notice are:
Ole Simonson, la at 715&lc.
G. Halverson, la at Z, 6&1c.
j. Jorgenson, Sa at Sale.
Henry Olson, 3a at Sale.
P. n. Nelson, 1Oa at 624&1c.

F. Mcneil, ga at 6&1c.

J. Hogie. 5a at 6&1c.
Nick Prell, Ga at 6&115c.
M. Anderson, IA at II 14&2c.
M. Campion. Ga at So &c.
The rustic for the remnants of old leaf
in country hands continues, when wealth
or conditions permit, and considerable
quantities are changing hands among
local packers. w. T. Pomeroy e. Co. re
port the sale of about 30Ocs for the week.
They have also received several car loads
from the growing districts. The deliv-
cries OF the new crop are coming in
slowly since the storms and some OF the
packing houses have about consumed
their surplus of bundle stocks and may.
possibly have to close down for a time.
The shipments out of storage from
this market reach total of 50Ocs to all
points for the week past.
EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Feb. Is, 1905.
The tobacco market in this city has
furnished no noteworthy news feature
for the week past, with one exception
and that being the sale of 500 cases of
1903 leaf which was purchased of S.
Soverhill by X. Straus & Co., of Phila-
delphia. The deal was closed by Mr..
McComas, their representative, who has
been in this district for the past week.
The goods are of the binder grade.
There has been decided falling off of
trade in both old and new and it is not
expected to resume it's normal state un-
til after the frigid weather has released
it's grasp on the country. No riding of
any description is being done from here,
and but little delivery of the crop is
taking place. which was purchased in the
early part of the season. Only few of
the warehouses are now running their
asserting rooms as the result of the cold
weather.

Oscar X Lyle, Boston crop sta

figures on the wheat crop of 1905,
which is now practically all harvest
ed:
In the week the price of wheat

is by many ascribed to the generous
buying of a leading interest in Chicago
that we'll absorbed the offerings, curb
ing the selling sentiment, and. to some
extent, reversing It. During most of
the week the market has been mar
row and unattractive to the public.

Canada has fully 50,000,00O to enter

disposition of our own. In our esti-
nation this competition and the short
ening of the time for its sale are i'm
portant bearish factors for speculative
consideration. They are as important
as the reputed shortage in Russia,
that is at this time a hopeful influ-
ence. 1t is nearly an average crop
that Russia will have this year, based
on the four years, 1Ss9-1902. inclusive.
The production in 1908 and 1904 OF
1,2S3,000, 900 bushels afforded in the
two years, about 350.0O0.O0O more
wheat for export than in any two years
preceding.
While Russia has been a heavy
shipper to Europe from her great
crops, she has not shipped so largely
as to preclude a conclusion she has
a large reserve to help out any short
age this year. The crops of the world
are as large as in 1904. For. several

MUSIC

The coming concert Of the Apollo club
at the First Baptist church, Wednesday
evening is the third and last Of the
season and the program will present two
of the most pleasing soloists Of the sea-
son. Claude A. Cunningham is a barry
tone who is especially pleasing in the
German leider. His only appearance in
Minneapolis was with the Patti Concert
company, little over a year ago, when
he was a distinct success, really being
the bright star of the program. Recent
ly he has shared honors with Caruso
at several private musicales at the Wal
dorf- Astoria.
Mrs. Burnham is contralto from Bos-
ton, where she is a favorite in must
known in Minneapolis. She formerly
resided in the city and her visits to
her brother, Wilbur Thayer of Mount
Curve avenue, have kept her in touch
with Minneapolis people. She was one
of the soloists at the recent Worcester
festival, and last summer was a soloist
with the Van der Stricken orchestra at
the worlds fair. ...:.
