New YORK. Jan. 19, 1907


The market this week took an active
turn again. Quite number of out-of-
town buyers were in town for the pur-
pose of replenishing their stock and did
so liberally as the stringency in both
price and terms has somewhat mitigated.
Wisconsin is selling freely at the prevail
ing market rate and wherever the price
on the Pennsylvania is being scaled
down buyers are ready to grab at it.
Under like circumstances other filler
grades meet with the same response.
Sumatra remains an active factor in the
market Being the chief wrapper, reli
ance for the bulk Of our cigar industry,
the demand for it is steady. Though
sales do not comprise large quantities in
bulk. the aggregate sales are fast ex-
hausting the stock on hand and the new
inscriptions will come in time for filling
in the supply. The Havana situation is
for the present not of the most promis-
ing outlook. The growing crop has not
as yet been blessed with the absolutely
necessary rain and if the drouth holds
out much longer the chances are that
the crops will become stunted and shrink
in volume. The local market. therefore,
shows again tendency for an advance
in prices, as the old stock is being fast
consumed In old factory Vegas there
is an exceptional dearth and their value
has become fanciful.-Journal.

Peculiarities to the vocation of handl.
ing leaf tobacco have been evident in
this market for two weeks or more. One
of these peculiarities was the sudden
cessation of shipments and another the
relapse of the trade into that awful
ouietness of the midsummer. To sum
up the whole total of sales or shipments
during the time mentioned it would be a
good wager that they would not reach
the 100 mark. If it were not the receiv-
ing OF the 1906 leaf and the asserting
season in full sway, it would be the ap-
pearance that the leaf industry of this
city had vanished.
Articles of incorporation of the Wis
consin Tobacco Growers and Dealers

LANCASTER, PA, Jan. 10, 1907.
Few complaints are being heard now
of trouble between buyers and growers,
the disputes about the mixing of grades
not being more numerous than usual.
The first week or two of the delivery OF
the new crop there was considerable fric-
tion, but during the past week condi-
tions we're not quite so severe. The
packers are we'll pleased with their goods
and the growers are we'll pleased with
prices. The past week was busy one
at many warehouses, as the deliveries
were quite heavy.
Very few sales of crops we're made by
the growers last week, as they still de-
mand the prices paid during the buying
craze. AS the buyers refuse to give
these prices the deadlock continues.
Only small sales Of old tobacco were
made during the past week, and the ag-
gregate amount sold was noG high.
The cigar trade continues good, and
few complaints are heard from any OF
the manufacturers New Era,

IT IS estimated that the crops in the
United States this year will supply S7O,-
100000 worth each month OF the year for
export. Cotton will lead off with about
S4O0, 100000 for the year to its credit. 1t
is the surplus product of the farms of
the United States that brings to this
country every year moro than one half
of the worlds supply of gold. A part of
this we send back in payment for manu-
factured articles bought in other parts
of the world, for tea, coffee and sugar,
and another part is taken across the seas
by American tourists and foolish Amer
ican girls. who persist in marrying beg
carly foreigners, but enough 10 left here
annually to make US the most prosper
Gus people IN the world. The American
farm is the source of American wealth,
and not our Alaska gold and our Cnio~
RADIO silver mines, nor our lDanufac, 80
ing industries, great as they are. But it
should be remembered that big crops
mean low prices for grain. So care
should be taken not to raise farmers
assessment and tax him higher when
wheat is only 10 cents per bnshel.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

All that is new in the tobacco business
at present is to oe seen in the asserting
line of the industry, whence proceeds
the hauling and handling Of bundle to-
bacco and of cased goods. Every day
loads of bundle tobacco may be seen 60
ing in all directions There have been
shipped of new cased goods lately four
or five car loads to New York and Penn
sylvania to be sweated at those points.
There have been few sales about here
lately at about the usual prices, say
from ii to Is cents, but small amount
has been bought in proportion with the
riding; but the riding may amount to
some profit in the future. as it has intro
duced some new faces into this neigh
borhood Now comes another bugbear
to the tobacco industry of the Connec-
ticut valley, and that may be called the
Alabama scare. We had the Georgia
and Florida scare this year, but by read
ing the rose tinted letter bearing upon
the report of the Department of Agri-
culture we learn the possibility OF the
people of Alabama becoming the great
est wrapper leaf growers in this country
in due process of time. Tobacco has
been grown in all but Shree of the coun-
ties of the state for good many years,
and perhaps those three counties can be
made to fall in line it Uncle Sam SO wills

VIRooUA. WIS, Jan. q, 1907.

The tobacco delivery is at its height
and hundreds of loads are being hauled
to the warehouses in this city daily
where the facilities for handling are
taxed to their capacities. The local
banks are paying out to the farmers an
average of $4,000 per day and the con-
dition bids fair to continue for several
weeks if the weather and fine roads per
NIT. There is scarcity of help in the
warehouses. If the other tobacco grow
ing districts produce as good quality
of the weed as this vicinity, the tobacco
growers in the state will clean up over
S6OOO,OOO in profits for the 1906 crop.

No Killing Frost in Baltimore

The annual report OF the United
States weather bureau gives facts
that make a remarkable showing for
the climate of Baltimore.
1t Is rare that big storm or bliz-
zard hits this city, whether the dis
turbance comes from the east or tn :
west That the range of tempera-
ture is moderate is also a claim often
made for Baltimore. The record OF
the weather bureau show that the
claim Is well founded.
Last year was remarkable for ex-
ceptlonal weather The summer was
the wettest on record since 1892.

The year was also remarkable for a
late frost. One of the most severe
spells OF cold weather ever expert

In Baltimore no killing frost was

frost came as early as October 10.
The Baltimore climate is all right;

SENATE UTILITIES BILL.

Measure Is Almost Ready and Action
is Likely about September First.
After an investigation of the subject
covering period OF several months
Senator Hillery, Of Morris county, and
Senator Robbins, of Burlington coun-
ty, members of the Senate Committee
to prepare public utility bill, began
on Friday at the State House the work
of making the final draft of the meas
ure.
1t is expected that the measure will
be in shape for presentation to the
Legislature the early part of this week.
Senator Hillery said that he believed
the Senate would be recalled as soon
as the draft of The bill has been COM
pleted, when the measure will be in
troduced at once.
Although neither Of the committee
men would give any positive informa-
tion as to what the bill would contain,
it was announced that it would follow
the Hughes law Of New York to a
great extent. Whether or not the
measure will provide for the absorp-
tion or will establish separate public
utilities commission has not been de-
termined as yet, and Senator Hillery
said that this feature would be one Of
the last to be taken up. The work of
putting the bill in final shape has been
left entirely in the hands of Senators
Hillery and Robbins because of the
fact that Senator Minturn, the Demo
cratic member, has resigned, due to
his having qualified as Judge of the
Hudson County Circuit Court.
Senator Hillery, in reply to a ques-
tion as to when the Senate would re-
ceiye the bill, said 1.-THE early part

TROLLEY NOTES,

The trolley work has made consider
erable progress during the past week.
The upper end Of the line toward Nor
ris Plains has been cleaned up except
for the crushed stone covering for the
tracks and the poles have been set as
far as the rails extend in that direc-
tion. The grading has progressed from
Kinney street to point near the resi-
dence Of A. S. PierSon and very near
the end of the sewers laid there. The
tracks are laid past the residence Of
George SAMSON while another gang is
busy surfacing the road and aligning
the tracks and filling in. A small gang
is at work digging holes for poles the
last consignment being large enough
to set poles we'll down toward Cutler
street. 1t looks now as ii the sewer
work would hold the trolley construc
tion for a few days at least.
The Dover Electric Light Company
has placed arms on the trolley poles
between Dover and Rockaway to hang
the wires on, which will give that bor-
ough direct current from the Dover
plant The wires run down Richards
avenue to Hooey street, thence out to
Blackwell street, thence on the trolley
poles to Rockaway.
On Tuesday Of last week six cars
laden with the construction outfit of
the Morris County Traction Company,
derrick, steam shovel and "dinky''
engincswere taken from the end OF the
trolley track on the Denville road to
Landing on Lake Hopatcong. This
means that the work is to be pushed
at the lake end Of the line.

SEWER NOTES.

A large number Of new men went or
the work on Monday being distributed
to the several sections under way. The
work on Bank street was started but
after digging for a half day it was
found that the line was Immediately
over the brick storm water sewer ano
the trench was filed up and another
one started. The Mt. Kemble avenue
section where reck was encountered
was finished on Monday.
The sewer contractor has struck hard
work in Bank street where the level oi
the sewer is below that of the old
brick storm water drain through the
street. When the ditch was first dug
out it was found to be right on top OF
the other drain so was moved but the
drain caved in and flooded the ditch.
Work has been suspended there tenn
porarily till the water can be drained
out. Water is also plentiful in the
trunk sewer on Abbett avenue where
little progress has been made in a
week the level of the sewer there be-
ing below the river.
On Ogden place the deep trelich is
steadily progressing and will be as far
as Miller road by the END of the week.
Mt. Kemble avenue work has been
finished also the trench on Miller road
from Ogden place to COLES avenue. At
the Wetmore avenue ejector it was
necessary to dig chamber four feet
below the general level. A spring was
struck in the digging which kept the
pumps working overtime to get the
water out. At the James street ejec-
tor pit four feet Of water was in the
hole on Monday requiring suspension
of digging and vigorous pumping.
The Sussex avenue section is about
complete as far as Cleveland street
where the grade changes. Another
week will be required to complete the
Speedwell avenue work to get out OF
the way OF the trolley gang, while moth
ing has been done between Spring
street and the Park.
Several gangs have been busy on
James street with the result that the
main sewer on that thoroughfare is
about all laid and the street will be
restored to condition by the end Of the
week

Indignation is rapidly rising in the
First Ward over the railroad gates. 1t
started when the railroad company
monopolized half of the sidewalk to
be more definite, four and half feet
with the house for the house for the
gateman. The house was also on the
curb line of Elm street and then they
located a post four feet out in the
travelled way of Elm street for the
gates. Worse than this, they have set
another post inside the curb lines
where they would join if continued at
the corner Of the two streets near the
Dalrymple- Hastings office, but narrow
ing the Travelled way by over ten feet.
The result is an inconyenient crossing
and a place where some day there will
be an accident. The gatepost could
have been set back behind the fence
just as well as where it is, and for that
matter the company could have locat-
ed the gathouse on its own property.
