COUNTRY'S IRON OUTPUT
HEAVY FOR CURRENT YEAR

The Wall Street Journal says the iron
ore production of the country in the
year 1903 aggregated AZ, 13S tons. as
compared with 30, 135 tons in 1901 a
gain of ssh, 1888 tons. These figures cover
the ore taken out in twenty-seven states
and territories Minnesota led the list
with 2l,3551S2 tons, and Michigan with
IL. $50. 902 tons.
1t is estimated that the iron ore pro-
duction of the United States in the cur
rent year will exceed 1000. 600 tons. Ship
ments of iron ore from the north will
reach 3I.000000 tons this year. as COM
pared with "a, 1853 456 tons in 1905, and 2l,-
S22S39 tons in 1904.
1t will be observed that within the last
two years northern ore shipments show
an increase of over 100000 tons.

HEINZE OUTLINES HIS
VIEWS ON COPPER

F. Augustus Heinze has been in Bos-
ton for several days He left for New
York last night, says the Boston News
Bureau.
He says: Business conditions as af-
fecting copper are all that could be looked
for / should not be surprised if the price
of that metal reached Is cents per pound
in the near future, based on the enormous
consumption, a reflection of the great
business prosperity of the country and
the inability of the producing mines to in
crease their production as expected
Il do not believe that the actual in
crease in copper production in 1906 will
reach per cent and | fail to see where
there can be any great increase in pro
duction in 1897. The mines are all suffer-
ing for lack of labor and so long as the
present prosperity of the country eontin-
ues, this labor famine will continue"
Mr.. Heinze did not care TO speak about
the Boston owned properties in which he
is interested. other than to express has
satisfaction in the progress being made in
opening up the Davis-Daly properties in
Butte, in which q tweive-foot vein of ore
has recently been encountered on the 1900

WELLS-FARGO DEMAND
NOTICE OF SHIPMENT

Wells-Fargo has notified the leasers of
the Mohawk mine at Goldfield that ten
days notice must be given them before
the time for the shipment of the now ia
nous million-dollar train of ore from the
Hayes Monette lease on that mine, says
the Wells CNev) State Journal. Now
comes the statement that the shipment
will be delayed for some little time as it
is the intention of the owners of the lease
to make it two-million dollar shipment
as they will have that much high-grade
ore sacked by the time their lease ex-
pires.
This is the greatest shipment, so far
as value is concerned, that has ever been
made in the history of mining and the
special train that will carry the ore to the
smelters will only consist of two cars
and WeIls-Fargo wish the notice so that
arrangements for the protection and safe
arrival at the smelters can be arranged
for.

VIRoQUA, WIS, Sept. 5, 1906.

This is the day of busy farmers in the
tobacco growing sections of Wisconsin.
No other period brings SO much for ear
nest anxiety to the tillers of the soil as
this particular season of the year. 1t is
the big money harvest, and especially the
present season, prices soaring above any
thing ever before experienced. AS a
whole we do not believe the crop is of as
large growth as some years. The serious
trouble is unevenness, but late favorable
weather has been of great value in i'm
proving matters, and today Vernon Co.
farmers are gathering a crop of the weed
that will produce in dollars and cents
between a half and three quarters of a
million of dollars. It is great money
investment for any community, and it
gives to our section the reputation of
being the best wrapper section in the
west, if not in the entire United States.
On Friday night hail fell in different
sections OF the county, doing damage to
ripening tobacco. The storm was quite
general, but only in spots hail fell a mar
row streak. In the vicinity of Coon
Prairie church slight damage resulted.
Southwest of Liberty Pole and Bristow
community suffered to some extent. The
heaviest loss of growing tobacco we have
learned of are Fred and George Zitner
in Franklin town.-Censor.

Last week was busy one in local leaf
circles because of the presence of num-

ness done in new Pennsylvania Broad

Spanish. Nearly all the buyers have re-
turned home. There is very little Wis

because the packers prefer to wait as
late as possible before offering samples
for inspection. The manufacturers are
all busy, and their cry is the lack of la

have any are holding on, believing that

LANCASTER, PENN, Sep. 4, 1906.
There has been some movement in the
local leaf tobacco during the past week,
but, outside of one transaction, the ag-
gregate of sales was not large. The only
large sale so far reported was made by
John D. Skiles, 60Ocs of 1905 tobacco of
course. Mr.. Skiles declined to give the
purchasers price.
Some of the dealers say the reason
there is not very active market is be-
cause there is not very great deal of
leaf held by local packers to operate
with. The buying of the American To-
bacco Company and the United Cigar
Manufacturers last season, it is no secret
made big hole in the $1,000 cases cred
tied to Lancaster county in 1905, and
some of our dealers themselves have
made big sales, notably, Charles w. Bit
ner, VIM. r. Cooper Il Co., M. M. Fry &
Co., /. Fl. Weaver, and now John ID.
Skiles. Some of the dealers affirm that
there is little of the 1905 crop held out
side of the city by dealers, and that there
is not very great deal in Lancaster to
operate with. Parties who are in close
touch with the tobacco market say, how
ever, that there is plenty of tobacco of
last years crop to trade with.
AS those who have sold resolutely re-
fuse to give out for publication the price
they get for their goods, the market price
can only be arrived at through reports of
the prices obtained, and these show that
19 and 20 cents are the prevailing prices,
though there have been some above
them. The dealers say they had to pay
for last years goods nearly fifty per cent
more than for some years previous which
justifes them in wanting from % to %
cents pound for their packing.
All reports show the new crop to be
doing finely, such as has not been cut al
ready. Cutting, however, is in full
swing, the growers being anxious, appar-
emily, to get under cover before there is
hail. So far very little damage has been
done by hail. and the crop is certain to
be great one, if the tobacco still stand
ing can be safely housed.
The cigar industry appears to be re-
viving. Some of the manufacturers are
increasing their force of hands. and bet
ter trade all around is looked for.-New

The market was enlivened this week
by many buyers who loaded up on all
kinds of leaf sufficient to last them for
a brisk business of many months Even
Connecticut was not neglected, many
hundred cases of which passed into buy
ers' hands But of this type only the
darker grades and seconds found ready
sale and for both grades stiff prices were
realized. Havana seed seconds brought
from % to 26 cents while Broadleaf
seconds sold at 30. But the chief in-
vestment of the buyers was in Pennsyl-
vanja Brcadleaf, the market price of
which seems for the present to be estab-
lished at 20 cents. Neither were other
filler grades neglected, large quantities
of Gebhardt, Zimmer's and state seed
moved off the market. In the Sumatra
line steady business is reported For
after all the Sumatra is recognized the
chief reliance as wrapper for the bulk OF
our cigar industry and jobbers have to
handle it even against their own inclina-
tior if they want to hold and expand
their trade. AS for the manufacturers
no one of any note can hardly get along
without it, and as last years crop cor
responded to all the requirements of our
cigar industry the advanced price has
rot proven such great stumbling block
TO its increased consumption. The Ha
vana market. however, is causing the
greatest.anxietv to the trade. If the re-
volt in Cuba should prove of longer du-
ration than is expected and should ex-
tend over the planting season or prevent
planting or wickedly destroy seed beds,
then indeed would the situation become

Another week has passed and the to-
bacco is not all in the sheds yet. although
few more of the farmers have finished
their harvest Considerable tobacco is
still in the field to be harvested in Sep
tember as usual. To use my own judg
ment and from inquiry | should say that
three fifths of the crop was housed III
August: the balance will be dragging
along several days, in all liability all
of this present week, if the week should
be fair, and if we have storm, as many
days next week as we have bad days this

The harvest has proceeded now for
three weeks under ideal conditions and
while the great bulk of the crop is now
secured there is good deal of tobacco
still standing in the fields, much of
which is becoming overripe. So many
growers find that more shed is needed,
and the scarcity of help all tends to pro-
long the harvest. There could scarcely
be any improvement on the curing
weather since the crop commenced going
into the barns and never before has to-
bacco cured faster. Not cloud has 50

only the needs of the manufacturers
whose supply is kept in this market

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES



Without question this will prove the
banner year for the tobacco growers of
Wisconsin. Nothing like it in yield per
acre, quality of leaf or money returns
was ever obtained in later years by our
farmers. The nearesJ approach to the
money values was OF ained in 1884 when
tobacco sold from first hands at extraor
dinary prices, but even that record is
likely to be broken this season because
average prices rule higher. This is pros
pertiy with big p. The harvest is now so
we'll. along that the crop is very certain
to be secured without any serious draw
backs and it has gone into the curing
barns in almost perfect condition. The
weather since the harvest started has
been so uniformly suitable for the rapid
curing of the hanging leaf that the early
cut is already past all danger in shed
cure and is showing remarkably five col
ors and thinness and finish that betok-
en- splendid binder tobacco. With the
growth and cure so clearly determined
and the price so we'll esta blished there is
small danger that the above predictions
will not be fulfilled. With an acreage
in the state that is most likely to stand
around 10000 acres and yield that
promises to crowd four cases of wrap
pers and binders per acre, it is easy to
figure on upwards of 10000 cases of
grades in the present crop. Ii the present
prices continue it will cost to pack this
crop close to $50 per box, so to move the
crop will require nearly $6,OO0,OOO-al-
most double the amount required in
later years to handle the crop of this
state. This is large amount of money
to dump into the tobacco growing dis
tricts covering only limited portion of
few counties, and will add materially
to the bank accounts of the producing
class throughout these sections. Rock
county's share of this will run close to
$3,5OO.O00 this season, sum far in ex-
cess of the amount ever before realized
for this crop.
