WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,
EDaERToN, Wis, May II, 1

EDGERTON, WIS.,, May IL, ISUO.
The local tobacco markets are settling
down towards long season of quietude,
when only occasional transactions break
the monotony. A. Wallach of Chicago
has succeeded in picking up car load
or more of old leaf from local packers in
this market H. S. Pomeroy sold "a
case lot of 'O4 and Mrs. James Murphy
l3 cases which comprise about all the
business coming to notice.
A week of extremely cold weather and
hard freezes for the time of year has de-
layed all vegetation and the plant beds
have made little or no progress of late.
But few beds show plants large enough
to become damaged by the frosts, hence
only the return of warm weather is
needed to bring along the growth.
The shipments out of storage reach
but about 400 cases from this market to
all points for the week.

The market seems to have settled
down to mere routine business. Fac
tories are stocked up and supplies of
old seed leaf are we'll nigh exhausted.
An agreeable disappointment has been
caused by the stamp tax returns for the
month of April. From general reports
during the month, it was assumed that
the cigar output would show decided
decrease but the two greatest cigar man
ufacturing centers of the country, the
Metropolitan and Ninth Pennsylvania
districts, show comfortable increases
over the same period of last year and
the pulse of the cigar Industry is tested
most aptly in these districts. There
need, therefore, be no apprehension of
any severe depression in our Cigar in
dustry which might reflect adversely on
the fortunes of the leaf market. The
activity of the leaf market is for the
present confined from sheer necessity to
the Sumatra. Of course, the price of it
on the part of the purchasers, but the
high price is no chimera nor faxed for
purposes of individual gain. Statistics
just to hand of the result of the inscrip-
tions up to yesterday show that the av-
OF Sumatra so far sold was 211 cents
Dutch against 144 cents for the 70,160
bales sold during the same period last
year. In other words, the average price
paid for the Sumatra at this years in
scription was by 80 cents, American
money, higher per pound than last year.
The sooner. therefore, buyers of Suma-
ira realize this fact, the less disappoint-
ment they are likely to incur later on.
There will evidently be no bargain offer
ings in the new Sumatra crop. The Ha-
vana situation promises to become very
acute one when the demand for the new
crop will make itself felt And right
here the U. S. Tobacco Journal would
advise manufacturers to lay in as quick
ly and as much of the old stock as they
can possibly procure. By pursuing this
policy they will not only save money no
matter what the price may be they have
to pay now for old stock, but they will
also have raw material that will continue
to give satisfaction to their customers.
A word to the wise is sufficient. The
predictions made by the q. S. Tobacco
Journal in its market reports have been
verified in almost every instance and
those who have acted on it's advice are
on record to have largely benefited from
it.-Journal

United Cigar Manufacturers, COM
pany organized in 1902 by the consolida-
tion of the wholesale cigar manufacture
ing firms of Herbs. Wertheim Il Schiller,
Hirschorn, Mack & Co. and Straiton &
Storms Company, is to be rencorporated
with $500000O preferred stock and Sl5,-

At present the company has 100000
7 per cent preferred stock and S5,000000
common stock. For the last two years
the dividends of % per cent have been
paid on the common stock.
The yearly output of the company ag
gregates about 400,000,000 cigars, which
are sold at wholesale. This is by far the
largest output of any concern in this
particular line of business. The average
gross receipts are about Sl2OO0,0OO. The
yearly average net profits for four years
have been over $1,100,O00; for the years
1904 and 1905 they averaged over ST. 1885,
600. New preferred stock to the amount
of S4,5OO,OOO will be offered for sale. 1t

Connecticut valley Tobacco Market.

The present week will see much of the
preliminary work accomplished towards
the growing of the next crop of tobacco.
If this first work is not we'll done we
may count upon light inferior crop of
tobacco.
A perfect crop of tobacco must be at
tended to from the time of sowing the
seedbeds until the harvest is secured,
with plenty to feed the plants and with
we'll titled fields. In fair season one
may count upon good return for his
labor and expense.
Tobacco plants have done we'll in spite
of the cold weather we have had. We
have seen. some leaves that ten cent
piece would hardly cover, not number,
but individual plants, and when they get
to that size one can stimulate them very
soon. Before that time nature must
have her own way, and she usually re-
spends gallently.

Another week has passed without any
large transactions in leaf tobacco, though
few small lots were made. One of the
largest was by A. B: Hess, 56 cases. A
considerable number of packers have
overhauled some of their packings, and
the result has been entirely satisfactory,
as showing that there is very little black
rot or anything else that would have q
tendency to impair the value of the to-
bacco. There we're the usual number of
inquirers, but there was little inclination
on their part to buy. AS the goods are
not in shape for marketing, the bulk of
the crop at least, our packers are not
worrying looking after customers. They
know that when the time comes there
will be no trouble selling. We have
heard it reported that contracts are be-
ing made for next seasons crops by a

ing the tax which is the cause of the dis
satisfaction of the Manila factories and
their workmen. We have succeeded by
the efforts of the cigar manufacturers,
their workmen, the retail dealers, the
growers and our own members, in delay
ing the passage of this bill, and perhaps
in killing it altogether. This has been
possible only because we left no room
for questioning the truth of any state
ments we presented, and because we
adopted broad and liberal method of

ity, and in three weeks will not
have a cent, and his good reputa-
tion will be worse wrecked than
his fortune.
But, supposing him to have a
grown son, and supposing that he
had died the week before the time
to realize on the mine, that the
money had fallen to his son. The
chances are that the son would
have spent the money more rap
idly than did the father and all
the neighbors would have said /:
SIS it not pitiable? And how
strange, when we think what a
steady, sober man his father was. -
And no one would know that what
was suppressed through poverty in
the father had come out in the son.
Some very common people become
wealthy. BY common we mean
they are of scrub stock.
When they do they are prone to
go to some city. Once there they
want to enter society. AS mus
tangs cannot hold the pace running
against four-mile blood horses, in
that society race the scrubs drink
and exaggerate the vices of the
city. If they are young they try to
outdo. the others who have always
been rich.
That class of newly rich scrubs
now make a set in each of the large
cities and the reputation of the
cities suffer because of them. But,
really, they are no worse than
they would have been in the coun-
try, had the wholesome restraints of
the country been removed from
them.
And they are confined to their
sphere. They do not interfere with
the decent people any more than
thoroughbred horses are disturbed
if a few mustangs are turned in
among them. The general average
of the field may be lowered, but
the virtues of the blooded stock are
not in the least deteriorated.
We take it that the Coreys on
their native range were mustangs.

doubted ravages of the sea at many
points of the littoral of the island.
The shores Of England are COM
posed largely of clay, chalk, or fri
able rock, which is easily eaten
away by the waves of the ocean or
the strong currents and tides along
the coast. In consequence great
stretches of the shore have been
worn away and are constantly
crumbling further inland with each
succeeding year. This gradual
destruction has caused great dam
ages to many towns situated on the
seashore and has destroyed thou
sands of acres of valuable farming
land. At certain locations, even
within the memory of men still
living, the sites of prosperous viii
! lagos of former times are today COW
cred by many fathoms of water,
sometimes several miles from the
present shore line.
Coast erosion following severe
storms within recent years has been
SO marked at many points on the
English coast that after extended
press discussion Parliamentary
commission has been appointed to
thoroughly investigate the subject,
and if possible to devise means for
the abatement of the injury. While
there is little danger that the eight
little island' will comletely dissa-
pear within the next few gener-
ations, there can be no doubt that
coast erosion is causing serious
loss of land at many points, partic-
ularly on the south and east coasts,
notwithstanding that the areas
gained artificially at other points
almost compensate for it.
1t has been estimated that in the
thousand years from 900 to 1900 an
area of nearly $50 square miles
has been worn away by the erosive
action Of the waves and ocean cur
rents. That the changes in the
1ittoral outline of England are due
almost purely to this action is the
opinion of the biologists who have
investigated the question, and it is
not believed that the subsistence
and upheaval OF the earth's crust
are in any way responsible there
for. The material which is car
ried away after being eroded from
the shore is either Immediately
borne to the deep sea in suspen-
sion, or is washed along the coast
in the form of littoral drift. 1t is
hardly possible to estimate the re-
spective proportions of the material
which are thus disposed of, but
these proportions may vary from 20
to 90 per cent of the whole,
though it is hardly likely that the
proportion carried out TO deep
water often approaches the latter

figure.
The question of coast protection
is a difficult one, and the meth
cd in use at present, comprising
the construction of walls and
groynes along certain areas, re-
suits of necessity in the depriving
of the foreshore of the material
which might otherwise gather
there. Thus while a uniform sys-
tenn of protective walls and groynes
running from the walls out into the
sea, will, for the time being, large
ly prevent the erosion of the coast,
it will nevertheless, by abating or
largely decreasing the 1ittoral drift,
bring about the depletion of the
foreshore and will ultimately cause
the destruction of both protective
walls and groynes. The question
of coast protection and reclamation
present engineering difficulties of
no mean magnitude, and the over
coming of these difficulties will
constitute an interesting phase of
future engineering history, for
we feel certain that English tech
nical men and men of science will
find successful means for combat
ing the destructive power of the

SCRUB CAYUSfS,
THOROUGHBREOS

The metropolitan press OF the
east is discussing the remark of the
sister of w. F. Corey, when deliv-
isring her testimonyEat Reno, Ne
vada, in the divorce proceedings
instituted by Mrs. Corey against
her husband, wherein she said that
her brother was not fit to have the
custody of his child, that no
wealthy New York man is fit to
have charge of boy of his age. -
When the ordinary individual
reads that testimony of a sister
against a brother and the sweeping
general remark that follows; he or
she had a moments vision of a
soured or embittered woman giving
expression to a hate which per-
haps had been for years crystal
LIKING in her perturbed brain. One
could see in thought, a family
where perpetual quarrels were the
rule, where the faith and love
which ought to be guardians of the
home had fled and the hate engen-
dered in that home had gone out
and widened, as do the ripples
caused by dropping stone into a
lake, until they smite all the shores
of humanity, and the words pro-
vol1ed no feeling except pity that
men and women would give way
to their undisciplined tempers I'M
til they converted home into a hell.
But the press of the east take the
woman's words and discuss them
literally and with questions as to
whether they are just or not, and
now they have got down to meas
uriug the probable morality of diff
ferent cities.
We do not think it will avail
very much because, after all, the
differences in men are due mostly
to their environments, other things
of course being equal.
A miner may live ten years in a
mining camp and establish a repu-
tation for being quiet, sober and
industrious man. But let him and
three others of the same stamp, ap-
parently, find and sell mine for

buy homes for their families and
add comforts that the families
never knew before. But our

gality, industry and temperance,

drunk and to get everyone else
