NEW YORK. July 3, 1907

The demand for old filters that was
mentioned in this column last week still
continues. The fact that very few trans
actions are reported is good proof that
the market is not largely supplied with
these goods. The weather has been ex-
cellent for the growing crop, and from
all the cigar leaf sections comes news of
reassuring character.
Sumatra. - There continues quite a
brisk business in the new Sumatra,
which may be said to constitute the
bulk of the market at present. This is
induced partly by the fact that as there
is but one more inscription before the
vacation season sets in, the level of
prices has been established beyond a
peradventure, and sufficiently large i'm
portations have been made to allow the
buyers wide range of choice Leaf.

SEVERAL thousand young men who
are willing to prepare themselves can
have an opportunity during the next few
months of entering the railway service
in a branch which has produced the
greatest number @, higher officials. The
railways are face to face with the task of
securing at least 5000 telegraph oper-
ators and possibly double that number
during the next nine months This great
army of new telegraphers is necessitated
by the new law which limits the hours
of labor in this branch of the railway
service. There is not railway manage
ment in the United States that knows
where or how they are going to get the
large additional force needed. The fact
is that they are not in the country and
the problem is to create supply.

VIRoQUA, WIS, July 3, 1907.

Rapid progress has been made in the
transplanting of tobacco, and if weather
continues right very large percentage
of plants will be placed by the close of
the present week. The ground is in
good shape and plants are taking quick
life and looking fine as general rule.
There is not a little complaint that cut
worms are quite destructive, as they
usually are, and some fields will of
necessity have to be replenished. There
is quite general hope and belief now
that the fears of June will not be real
lied in short acreage and poor crop,
but the conditions are now most favor
able.-Censor.

self fertile and easily cross fertilized.
The large number of seed produced by
single plants, frequently half million or
more, makes the propagation of val
liable variety, once it is secured, partic-
ularly easy and rapid. The active inter
ests of the manufacturers in production
of improved varieties adapted to their
needs and their willingness to pay in
creased prices for better qualities in i'm
proved varieties make tobacco breeding
remunerative to the grower"

LANCASTER, Pa, July 2, 1907.

During the past week the trading in
old tobacco did not amount TO much, and
the only sale of any size was made by A.
B. Hess, who sold 100 cases to western
parties. The dull market is attributable
to the scarcity of old goods. Recently
there have been inquiries about the 1906
crop, which attest that it is receiving at
tention from outside dealers, who will
soon, through necessity, be after it.
They can have it, but they must pay
decent price. 1t came high to the pack
ers, and they mean to have profit on it.
No sales of crops by growers were re-
Gently reported. and it bears out the in
formation received by us last week, that
there was not much left in the growers
hands. Only few hundred cases.
Most Of the tobacco has been planted,
but the plants were set out unusually
small. The tobacco out a week or more
has had the benefit of very favorable
growing weather.
The cigar industry continues to go
along satisfactorily, only there is call
for more cigarmakers by many of the
larger factories.-New Era.

because. two years ago there was de-

an unending source of satisfac-

were predicting all sorts of ugly things

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The warm weather of the past week
has put a different look upon the tobac-
CO question. Most of the farmers are
through with transplanting for this sea-
sons crop. Many have begun hoeing;
some are through for the first hoeing,
and few have commenced to hoe Sec
ond time. 1t is no difficult matter to
hear some of the farmers talking of to.
bacco that is to inches high, or bet
ter. But so far as my observation goes,
inches high would be very good aver
age, and for the time the tobacco has
been set think that would show good
growth.
Much has been said concerning the
quality of the crop raised in the valley
the past few years, that it mad degener-
ated into binder crop. The cry now is
that we must raise something nearer to
the requirements OF the manufacturers.
But don't you believe that story.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Bradstreet, Mass: plants have grown
fast the past week and setting has been
brisk. John Brannan, Edgar Field, AL
bert Marsh, Charles Wait, w. Ell. Lang
don, l.. H. Wight and e. F. Cooley are
among those who have finished setting.
Some are commencing to set their to-
bacco. This week ought to see the set
ting all done. Harry Marsh raised 90
x30foo tobacco shed the past week.
William Coffay raised shed 70x30 feet"
Suffield, Ct: Quantities of tobacco
plants have been set in the fields, yet
there is great deal to be set. Gut
worms are bothering some, but many of
the plants are getting good start, and
the showers of Tuesday and Wednesday
came in right for setting where plants
have dried out. A few sheds have been
put up ready to hang the tobacco in the
fall" North Hadley, Mass: Tobacco
is all set. The rain last Saturday has
put it in fine condition. The crop taken
as whole is somewhat later than last
year." North Hatfield, Mass: "The to-
bacco I,th!nk is now all set and is look
ing fine for the time of year. Guilt

BaldWinsVflIe. N. Y.

The recent rains have given the grow.
ers the much desired opportunity for
setting, and transplanting has been
pushed forward rapidly in the last few
days. 1t is estimated that from 80 to 90
per cent. of the crop is now out.-Ga-
zette.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-07-12
ORFoRDvILLE, Wis, July 3, 1907.

Nearly all of the tobacco has been
trarsplanted, and though about two or
three weeks later than usual the con-
ditions are now most favorable for the
tender plants. There is no cause yet
why the crop should not yield as we'll as
usual, and certainly no one should yet
feel dismayed. There is ample time for
full development, though extraordinary
care andsfrequent cultivation are needed
to force the growth as much as possible.

It was his first chance to exhibit his worth and he took advan- tage of the opportunity by situating himself at the top of the league from which position he can glance in every direction down at companions of the world below If this sudden ascent of Dickens does not elongate or en- large his cranium, then he ought to continue as a leader for the rest of the season.
