SCHOONER LOST AT SEA.
Three-Masted Vessel, With Captain
and Six Men. Disappears.

The three-masted schooner Henry Sutton
of Newport has been given up for lost, and
her disappearance will add another to the
mysteries of the seas. The schooner with a
crew of six men and commanded by Capt.
Cole sailed from Cheverie. Nova Scotia, for
Baltimore October 81, with cargo of pine
lumber aboard Since sailing nothing has
been heard from the vessel and she has dis
appeared completely, no trace of her hav-
ing been seen. The Sutton was a vessel Of
6O2 tons and was built at New Haven in
1879. She was owned in Massachusetts.
The disappearance Of the Sutton calls to
mind the similar disappearance of the
Washington schooner belonging to Mr..
James o. Carter of this city. Under the
command of Capt. Martina she sailed from
Charleston over year ago with cargo of
light pine lumber for New York From the
time she crossed Charleston bar to the
present day no trace of the vessel has ever
been found.

find it very convenient to retain du-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, July II, l9,

EDGERToN, WIS. July II, 1907.
The weather of the week has been de-
cidedly favorable for completing the
transplanting of the tobacco crop, which
is now practically finished in all the
growing sections. In some localities a
shortage of plants has curtailed the
acreage somewhat and most of the de-
lays in getting out the crop have been
due to the waiting for plants to reach
proper size for transplanting. Sufficient
rain has fallen to keep the soil in excel
lent condition for quick roofing of the
plants when taken to the fields, so very
little time is lost in getting growth
we'll started. The cultivators are kept
working in the early fields, which are
now making very satisfactory growth
and fast catching UP with the average
conditions of other years at this date
In cased stock nothing has occurred
to change the unsatisfactory conditions
of trade SO long reported. While a
slightly improved inquiry is reported,
actual transactions are largely confined
to small trade to manufacturers. The
sweating 5ulks are occasionally examin-
ed by packers but little car yet be learn
ed concerning the results of the curing.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 500 cases to all points from this
market for the week.

The holiday had the usual disturbing
effect on the local cigar manufacturing

two to recover fully from the celebration.

put of tie week was below the normal.
Otherwise conditions remain unchanged.
