Judge Peter j. Somers, twice Mayor of
Milwaukee and an ex-member of Con-
gress, where he served on the Committee
on Pub ic Lands for several years, has
just returned from the White Horse
country, where he has bought several
promising groups of mining Claims
He Is greatly impressed with the coun-
try about Olinghoust and has made a
favorable report to the group of Wiscon-
sin capitalists that he represents.
During the last few weeks he has maue
a careful examination into the rights of

opinion that the railroad company pos
sesses no tit e wha ever to the minerai

By another thirty days there will ap-
pear in many of the warehouses great
spaces of emptiness. Many deals have
been closed here of late in old leaf and
there still remains several transactions
so closely clinched that will rank among
the largest deals for months past.
Old leaf has had steady demand and
the eastern buyers are still drifting this
way almost daily, and none have return
ed without making some kind of deal.
Local dealers are beginning to ride in
spite of the frigid weather and the leaf
of 1904 is now beginning to move toward
the city. 1t is claimed that Geo. H.
Rumrill is the first dealer to receive the
new crop. John Soulman has purchased
130 acres of 1904 and is riding for both
old and new.
The sales and shipments for the week
were: M. f. Green shipped 6 cars of
1903 east; Geo. H. Rumrill sells 2llcs of
1902 3 and received three cars of 1903.
John Soulman buys Goes of 1908 and j.
M. Thayer buys 15Ocs of 1901.

lied effort to take it over is noticeable.
Prices for choice lots bring anywhere
from to 10 cents for bundle delivery.

about equally divided between the new

steadily running, though not over Is per

What will tine neW year bring to the
trade? is a question uppermost in the
thoughts of such of it's members whose
aspirations are bound up with the
achievements in the future. To view it
from present conditions, the year upon
the course of which we have just en-
tered offers the brightest prospects.
Business is healthy and progressing. In
it's natural course, therefore, it ought to
increase it's volume and profits. A larger
cigar output should be the natural re-
suit and the prospects are for record
breaker again. OF course there may be
a shifting in the proportions that go to
make up the: whole. But. even if one
part profits at the expense of the other,
the industry as whole enjoys the pros
poets of. steady advance. Such like
.lihood will equally have it's effect on the
leaf market. A larger volume of the
raw material should pass into consump
ton. Greater activity is therefore in
store for the leaf market. The only
drawback to this. however, may be found
in the inadequacy of the new crops
How the domestic wrapper leaf supply
will turn out is yet too early to predict.
growing crop promised WE'LL but the
weather during the curing period was of
such inclemency as to shake confidence.
The crop will be needed there cannot
be the least doubt about that. But
whether the prospective profits will also
come with the sales, will nave to depend
on what condition it will be in when
marketed Of the binder crop there will
again be lack of sufficiency, and the
same may be said of certain types of the
filler crop. The Pennsylvania new crop
will certainly be scarce article in the
market inasmuch as the bulk of what
the ravages of hail and other elements
have left, has been cornered by few
concerns, and thus beer
placed beyond the reach of trading For
the Sumatra, another big year is in view.
Even with the increase of our domestic
wrapper production, and even if this
should turn out unscathed from the un
curing season. the increase ir
the cigar production would necessltate |
an increasing consumption of Sumatra, |
provided the new crop does not shrink |

The storm of last week enabled the
farmers to get the most of their tobacco
from the poles, and the stripping is well
along. We can see no reason now for
the asserting shops to shut down, at
least, for the want of tobacco to assort,
provided the buye and growers can
come to an agreement as to the amount
of money that will be required to move
the crop. Ii the price should rule high
it will take longer time to buy up the
crop and require deal more haggling.

There was virtually nothing doing in
the cigar leaf trade during the last week
of 1904. Dealers had to put their books,
in shape for the Government, and the
weather was not in the condition to en-
courage much business on the part of
either buyers or sellers. There was, how
ever, damp weather, which put the to-
bacco in the sheds in good condition
for stripping, and advantage was taken
of that fact by all the growers, and the
stripping rooms are going to be the busi-
est places in the country during the
present month. Deliveries will soon be-
gin at the packing houses, and that Will
also give work to an army OF hands, so
that in one way or another we expect to-
see lively times during the next few
months. Buying will also, no doubt, be
resumed, and perhaps, amends for lost
time will be made.
