The weather recently has been great
fer the growth of the young tobacco
plants, warm, with plenty of rain. The
trouble in some sections was that there
was too much rain, good deal of re-
planting having been made necessary
during late storms, the young plants
having been washed out of the ground.
AS good deal of summer has passed
away very little growing time is left to
these newly -set-out plants. A good deal
of speculation has been done as to the
number of acres out in tobacco this year
and the estimates run all the way from
14OOO to 10000 acres. The latter figure
is probably correct. At any rate, the
acreage will be below that of last year.
There cannot be said to be anything
doing in the market in old goods, be-
cause there are not enough old goods to
make market. So the packers are con-
centrating their attention upon their
1906 packing. In the preliminary over
hauling of these goods very little dam
age is found. less than usual, and the
packers express themselves well salts
fed with their holdings. Considerable
inquiry is being made, but very little has
been Sold As yet no price has been es-
tablished.
The cigar industry continues satisfac-
tory, and manufacturers generally would
put on more hands If they were avail
able.-New Era.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, July 26, 1907.

GDGkhTCN, WIS.,, July 20, ISOt.
Too much rain and not enough sun
shine is the general complaint of the to-
bacco grower this week. While the
fields are making extraordinary growth,
season of dry weather is needed to
clean out the weeds that are also MAX
ing great headway. Besides the quality
Of the leaf and greater strength of root
would be secured by more frequent
working of the soil. Tremendously heavy
rainfalis over the greater portion of the
tobacco belt this week have occasioned
floods that have done untold damage to
a great many fields, especially in the
Crawford and Vernon county districts.
Low places in many other fields have
had water standing long enough to
drown out considerable acreage. The
early set tobacco now nearly covers the
ground and topping is not very far away.
The market for old leaf develops no
new features and the general complaint
of dull trading is heard both from local
dealers and from the eastern centers.
The monotony was broken somewhat by
G. 81. Rumrill selling 327cs of 'O2 and O3
goods. Mr.. Gillian of York, Pa, is still
in the state and has purchased about
150cs of '06 from first hands. Under the
influence of summer weather the sweat
ing bulks are getting pretty we'll cured
out in the storage warehouses and pack
ers are fattering themselves that very
little damage will be found at sampling
time.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 600cs for the week to all points
from this market.

THOSE who tell the farmers that they
are paying too much for their farm ma
chinery and for their steel rails, of which
they use such vast quantities, forget to
tell them that they are also getting too
much for their corn, their wheat, their
oats, their cattle and their hogs. They
also tell the farmers that they buy for
prices that are too high. But it must
occur to the average farmer that if they
are going to buy for less, then someone
may decide to pay them less for the
things they have to sell.

Market conditions at present are of the
humidity depression. Nobody wants to
be reminded of them as everybody is suf-
fering from them. In about two weeks
more, however, the advance guard of
seekers after Connecticut seconds will
make their appearance in the market,
and by their very presence cause to
shake it out of it's lethargy. The only
commodity that seems to keep the mar
ket alive just now is the Sumatra, sales
of which are going on steadily.
Local cigar factories are having rather
a quiet time. Business is actually bad,
but the dull season is on now and not
much is to be expected. Travelling men
for the most part are at home, and little
effort is made to drum up trade. The
situation, however, is not entirely unsat-
isfactory to the manufacturers, for raw
material is so scarce and costly that
there is little profit in the industry at
present, and manufacturers are refrain
ing as much as possible from purchasing
leaf at the prices now prevailing. The

just ended, does not seem to have ben

NEW YORK, July II, 1907
The local market in domestic leaf has
been bare of interest during this week.
There still exists demand for old fllers
but the supply is very small and certain
interests that have been securing the
market in search of them are reported to
have been unsuccessful in getting as
many as they wanted. One dealer de-
clared that he had not seen the market
as fat as it is now in twenty-six years.
1t is no5 expected that business in the
domestic leaf will pick up for the next
month or so. News from the growing
sections is not unencouraging. The
storm damage done in New England,
while quite severe, was not so bad as
was reported, and week of hard work
under the very finest of growing condi
tions had put such of the damaged crop
as could be saved on the high road to
prosperity again. Some damage has been
reported from washouts in Pennsylvania.
All over the growing sections the wealth
er has been ideal for the crop that is in
the ground. A different complexion has
been given the situation by the publica-
ton Of the Government crop report.
This shows that with the exception of
Wisconsin the area devoted to cigar leaf
ia each of the tobacco growing states
has been increased. A feature of the re-
port is the enormous increase in the area
in Florida and Georgia devoted to to-

The transplanting has been finished
during the past week under favorable
conditions. The fields are looking we'll
and, although the transplantlng was late
this year, rapid improvement has been
made in the last few days of ideal wealth
er for tobacco, many of the fields being
now as far advanced as usual at this
time. F. M. Durham shipped 115 cases

A HEALTHFUL DRINK.

A leading medical journal apropos of the value of effervescent beverages says that carbonic acid gas in mineral waters greatly improves digestion, and that this is particularly so in the case of Apollinaris, because it's mineral constituents gives additional help in that direction, so that Apollinaris is by far the best of the few naturally ef' fervescent waters for mixing with whiskey, wine, fruit syrups or milk. The article goes on to say that the consumption of effervescent liquids is especially large in Great Britain and the United States.

 Joe Thomas, who has a farm few miles south of Danbury, says that grasshoppers are not as uncommon in the winter as they might be expected.

"THAD" STEVENS, OF PENNsYL-

MT. Stevens at this time was man of seventy, sornbre and gaunt, with rugged features, deep set eyes and a splendid brow He was lame, club foot. and at this time, his health was much broken. But never had his wit been keener, his eloquence greater, his will more indomitable, his sarcasm fore biting. He understood Congress sional tactics as few men ever have, and he was. filibuster of the first order. He was frequently unscrupu- lous in getting what he wanted. If he wanted it, it must be right and the means were a secondary consideration.
 Stevens always stood by his own, rieht or wrong, not that he entertain ed illusions about his Republican col leagues.
