SIX BILLION
THE RECORD.
Secretary Wilson's Report Like
a Dream of Wealth Every
Sunset $3,OOO,OO0.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2I.-"Wealth
production on the farms of the United
States in. 1905 reached the highest
amount ever attained in this or any
other country-$G,415 600. 900"
In the first annual report of his third
term, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
presents an array of figures and state
ments representing the products and
profits of the farmers of the country
which he admits dreams of wealth
production could hardly equal.'' Four
crops make new high records as to
value-corn, hay, wheat and rice, al
though in mount of production the
corn crop is the only one that exceeds
previous yields. In every crop the
general level of production was high
and that of prices still higher.
Besides the enormou yield of wealth
the secretary estimates that the farms
of the country have increased in value
during the past five years to a present
aggregate of So, 100000. EVERY
sunset during the past five years." he
says, "has registered an increase of
3d. 100000 in the value of the farms of
this country" This increased value,
the secretary suggests, is invested bet
ter than in bank deposits or even in
the gilt edged bonds of private corpora
tons.
In dealing with the crop report
'leak," Secretary Wilson, after refer
ring to the "gross breach of trust on
the part of one of the employees of
the bureau of statistics" says: This
department acted with vigor and dis
patch when it got evidence of wrong
doing on the part of its own officials,
but we have no evidence of disciplinary
or preventive action at the traders
end of the line, where gamblers inter
ested neither in the production nor
consumption disturb values to the in
jury of both and make loud cutlery
when creatures of their own kind cor
rupt officials to betray confidence for
tile love of money. The responsibility
for this leak is shared by every one
who, to get money without work, gam
bles in farm products. When this form
of industry ceases these parasites who
tempt department officials will have to
work for their bread"
The method of handling crop reports,
the secretary says, has been thoroughly
recast during the year. '"rhe farmers
hen" the secretary adds, sis becoming
a worthy companion to his COW. The
annual production of eggs is now a
cor of billions. Poultry products
have climbed to a place of more than
a half billion dollars in value, so the
farmers hen completes with wheat for
precedence"

Oyer in Manila they seem to have a
different idea as to who will pay the ex-
penses of the Taft junket, from what we
entertain in this country. Here it is un-
derstood that the party, which at last
accounts consisted largely OF Secretary
Taft, will pay it's expenses, with the ex-
ception of transportation and entertain
ment. In Manila, however, it appears
that they think the expenses will be paid
wholly by the United States government
or by the individual members eff the
party.

LANCASTER New ERA, June 6, 1905.

Business in the leaf market shows up
poorly for the past week. Some of the
dealers say it is in consequence of the
large amount of damage found in the
cases; that appeared to have frightened
them, and little wonder, as the man who
buys now, in addition to the full prices
he is asked to pay, is compelled to run
some chances that are not pleasant to
think of. Most of the dealers have been
making an examination of at least part
of their packings, and the same report
comes from nearly ALL The damage va
ries, of course, being quite small in a few
cases and very considerable in most
packings. The sales that have come to
our notice were the following: Benjamin
Herr sold 3O0cs 1904 goods; J. w. Bren-
neman bought 31cs of 1923 crop; John
Ell. Holland & Co. sold DOCS of 1903 Penn
sylvania, 26cs of 1904 Connecticut and
l28cs 1902 Wisconsin,; and /. Eel. Weav-
er sold 2O0cs 1901 goods. IL I'll. 74Ocs.
The sales for the corresponding week of
last year were 755cs.
There was fine rain last Thursday,
which extended pretty generally all over
the county, but was more heavy in some
places than in others. It was of inval-
liable service to the young tobacco plants
that have been set out, and has also ex-
pedited the planting of the rest. which
is actively going on. In some sections
scarcity of plants continues to be re-
ported.

The inter urban is filing it's field.
There is line between Rockford, Reloit
snd GAINESVILLE, and during the year 1904
it carried. nearly 100000 passengers.
This includes all of the Rockford city
traffic The average fare paid by these
passengers was trifle under II Cents.
The gross passenger earnings during the
year were S130, sol &c and the passenger
cars travelled total distance of 486, ,6O6
miles. A newspaper article says: "Some
thing like 100000 has been invested in
the project t-well invested, too-but it
has not been all 'easy sailing" since the
first conductor shout "all aboard" In
March, 1904, cloudburst and food
washed out tracks and undermined
bridges. A rotary converter ran away;
the car Martha was wrecked in colli-
sion near GAINESVILLE. These caused var
ious losses in receipts and altogether
$4,000 was taken from the profit side''
But the road is financial success. The
bondholders have their interest and the
owners of stock will begin to get divi-
dends next January The right of way
was secured as late as 1900 State Jour-
nal.

EDGERToN, WIS, June l6, 1905.
Sales from first hands are now reduced
very largely to scattering lots which are
all the time being hunted ous and ab-
sorbed. Dealers assert there has never
been a time when the country districts
were so thoroughly cleaned up as the
present and very shortly there will be
little if any tobacco left to trade in.
Sales of the '04 crop coming to notice
ere:
A. Skolaas, 3Ocs at S&3c.
K. Midland, 5a at Sc.
John Melaas, 30cs at TIC.
Andrew Jenson & Sons have succeeded
in picking up about 400cs of '03 goods
recently, in part of 160cs from Thomas
Thronson, 41cs of L. G. Jordalen, 39cs of
G. Berge, 35cs of K Jordalen, 41cs of
Lars Lein, 19cs of Edw. Attlesey, and
2Ocs of Jens johnson.
Packers report very fair inquiry for
old leaf, though the bulk of the sales is
confined to the cheaper grades.
The new crop is now being transplant
ed to the fields very rapidly. The wealth
er of the week has been decidedly favor
able for this work and growers are able
to secure a satisfactory stand.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 200cs from this market to all
points for the week.

NUMBER rs
Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The injury to the tobacco crop result
ing from heavy winds, dry weather and
frost has been nearly corrected, so far at
least as the missing plants are concern
ed, and in fact much that was almost q
total failure. A large part of the trans
planting has already been done by the
large growers, and by some of the small
er growers, although these as a rule need
to wait until the large growers are
through. The people have outgrown
transplanting by hand, and, as they do
not possess setter they have to wait
for machine and team. Not all teams
will work on the machine. The horses
must not only walk steadily but very
slowly, that each man may have the
time to properly drop the plants at the
right instant, so as to insure the plants
being properly watered. The plants
must be dropped when the ratchet opens
the valve to deliver water, not little
before nor little after. Some men
would like the team to go little faster.
But as one man drops the plants with
his right hand the other must necessar-
lily drop with his left hand, and good left
hand droppers are not numerous
crowd. in fact not often found. So usu-
ally the team must walk slowly. Girls,
being quicker in motion, would, if they
could stand it, make better hands on the
setter, but the work is so dirty no one
would think of asking them to try to do
it. To see fairly white man go under
the capopy top at one o'clock and note
his condition at six o'clock, one would
not recognize the person unless intimate
ly acquainted; that is if the ground vas
little dry and there was a little wind.
l have never learned that part of the
trade and never shall.
Our correspondents report as follows:

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, June Is, 1905.

The few days of torrid weather that
prevailed here during the past few weeks
sent the plants ahead at rapid gait and
as result many growers have already
begun setting their fields, and from now
on the growing of the leaf will be the
main feature of the tobacco business.
The warehouses also displayed signs of
activity during the past few days, some
by gangs cleaning up the scraps of the
asserting season, others in lining up
cases to be ready for the sample man,
while the shipping clerks were equally
busy. 1t all gave tone to the tobacco
market that is more welcome than what
has prevailed here so long.
Sales and shipments made by the local
dealers of late are: A. N. Jones ships
one car of 1904, buys 50cs of 1901 and
sold 50cs of 1903; l.. b. Carle & Son sell
in period of ten days 6O0cs of all grades

Business is running smoothly in the
leaf market. The fears expressed here
and there about the retrogression of the
cigar output are proving groundless.
For the cigar output in the chief manu-
featuring districts of the country was
never larger than during the past month,
as the readers of the u. S. Tobacco
Journal will learn to their great salts
faction from the reports of our CORES
pondents published in this issue. But
with an increased output, the question
of proper supply becomes more press
ing. 1t may be owing to this prospect
that American importers fairly reveled
of late Ia the purchase of the Sumatra
leaf at the inscriptions in Holland ex-
cept at yesterdays. The higher prices
which ruled the first inscriptions and
the reported shrinkage in the capacity
of it's yield do not seem to have exercis-
ed deterrent effect. For the new Su-
matra is a free seller in the market and
transactions pass off satisfactorily. The
stock of old Sumatra is limited and deci-
mated, while the Florida, which is en-
joying great boom, cannot begin to fill
the demand In Wisconsin binder leaf
and domestic filler stock activity contin-
ues undiminished. Purchasers of these
grades will certainly have cause for con-
graduating themselves if the supply of
them should last them for some time.
The Havana market continues also in a
most satisfactory condition. The fact
that the new crop is late in curing and
that it will take months yet before it can
be put into practical use gives the old
stock chance to be cleared out and
this clearing process goes on at good
pace and at firm prices. journal.

NEW YORK, June 7, 1905

With regard to the domestic situation
there seems to have been but little
change in conditions since last week
The demand keeps up for all old filler
goods, and owing to the comparatively
small quantity of old stock, either filler
or binder, held by packers, the manu-
facturers who are taking time by the
forelock are acting wisely. From all ap-
pearances the stock will be pretty quick
ly exhausted when once business has
picked up.
Sumatra.-The trade seems to have
awakened to the fact that they must ex-
pect to pay higher prices for the new
Sumatra than have obtained for sew
eral years, and the result has been quite
little activity in this type of goods.
The new goods that have been sampled
and inspected are meeting with more
favor, and number of good sized trans
actions are in process of negotiation or
have been consummate ted. There are but
three more inscriptions before vacation
time, and fall sales, as rule, do not con-
tain large percentage of goods suitable
for American use. There is no reason
to expect that the lots that may show up
after the vacation will be lower in price
than the goods handled in the first in
scriptions.
Havana.-In that Withdrawals have
been more frequent this week than for
some time past, it may be said that the
market is showing more signs of activity.
This is intensified by the fact that a
plumber of transactions are reported,
small in every instance, but amounting
to good sized total. One sale of eighty.
six bales is reported by local house,
sold in Havana to New York manu-
facturer. Half of this will be stripped,
and the remainder brought over in bales.
