down any tobacco yet, and how has it
cured, and is the color good, or is it
dark!" One of the late harvesters ad-
mitted to me that he didn't think that
the late tobacco was apt to be of as light
color AS the early cut tobacco, but from
the appearance of the medium cut to-
bacco it was curing lighter than was ex-
pected, and hope was expressed that the
late cut would be equally light, in pro-
portion to the time it was harvested, as
the medium
But / have my fears as to the color of
the late cut for experience has led me.
to believe that warm sunshine and warm
dry weather will make lighter tobacco
than any late, rainy, damp, cold weather
can make, so | believe that the late cut
will not show so much light and medium
good as the earlier cut tobacco. But /
am glad that the season held on so long
as it did, for it changed the little green
plants into large leafy growth, and IL
the tobacco got ripe it was changed FROM
worthless to fairly good crop, and If
it does not bring so good price as the
early tobacco, it will at least probably
bring fair price, perhaps all that it is
worth to the market, or as near to such
prices as is usual to get for most of our
crops which are inclined to be in the
least inferior. The weather that we are
having is not calculated to dry down the
tobacco very fast, and it is yet too early
to decide upon the color or texture of
the leaf. Nor is the medium cut tobac-
CO curing very fast, and in my opinion
there will be more or less Of the top
leaves that will be frozen unless we have
some warm weather, so it will be late
when all the medium and late cut to-
bacco will be fit to put into the bundle
and be ready to show to the buyers. We
do not expect to see the crop move off at
the usual time, but to hang fine until
we'll along into the cold weather of the
winter. Some stripping is being done
by those who cut early, and the reports
come in that it is showing a nice, fine,
good. colored leaf, kind of leaf sought
for by the packers and buyers, and for
one hope these conditions may be real
lied by one and all.-Cultivator.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Oct. II, 1907.
Conditions toward curing the shielded
crop are more favorable at this writing
than at any time since it was housed.
The early harvested is making fine
showing and the moist weather followed
by warm days gives promise of helping
out in a large measure the late cuttings.
There is not yet the slightest indica-
tions of a buyipg movement and in all
probability this is the best thing that
could happen to both grower and buyer.
The shipments out of storage to all
points reach a total of 400 cases from
this market.

The state supreme court has decided

The state supreme court has decided
that cigarettes are not cigarettes if they
are wrapped with tobacco instead of
paper. The decision is in the appeal of
Story Goodrich, who was convicted in
the municipal court of Milwaukee of
selling cigarettes. The lower court is
reversed by the supreme court. During
his trial. Goodrich showed that while
the cigarettes he sold contained the
usual fine cut tobacco they were wrap
ped With tobacco instead of paper, 1t
was contended on the part of Goodrich
that the anti cigarette law does not sp-
ply to cigarettes with tobacco cover, aud
the supreme court takes this view of the
matter.

The committee on Finance have to
make the following report:
The committee has made arrange
ments to finance all the tobacco pooled
in the respective locals by warehouse
receipts and notes not to exceed 80 per
cent. of it's value il so desired.
Plans for financing pools, the expense
of handling and caring for the crops
thus pooled shall be apportioned as here
matter provided. Each crop pooled shall
be security for the expenses incurred in
handling, sorting and selling the same.
Such expense to be paid by party or
parties owning said crop, or if owner or
owners so desire, the directors of the
pool shall cause an advance to be made
sufficient to cover such expenses. Such
advance to be paid from proceeds of first
sale from said tobacco.
Furthermore, if said party or parties
owning the said crop of tobacco should
desire, further advance on said tobacco
may be made, but not to exceed so per
cent. of the value, according to provis-
ions made by the state executive COM
mittee.
Accordingly, we would further recon-
mend that all members present here
sign their acreage and pay 25c per acre
before leaving the convention and insist
that the secretary furnish blanks for the
purpose at once.
The running expenses of this associa-
tion must be met by the association of
each local union of the A. S. of E. To-
bacco Growers Association and all those
interested in the welfare of this associa-
ton.

The committee on Minimum Prices re-
ported as follows: Your committee on
Minimum Prices respectfully beg leave

for the 1907 crop of tobacco: 15c the

minimum price for medium crop; lOc
minimum price for poor crop. This is
to include all except trash. 1t is also
recommended that if the grower is com

New YORK. Oct. II. 1907

Activity in limited degree continues
in the leaf market Buyers are reluctant
to make speculative investments, as they
are more than ever convinced that the
top notch price in the raw material can
not be maintained. But as things are at
present there has already been mater
ial reduction in the price of certain types
in comparison with that which prevailed
a year ago. 1t is perhaps owing more to
the general condition of the country and
particularly to the continuance of the
financial strain that the market has not
doomed out brisker than it should have
at this season. There is, however, the
consolation that this backwardness has
the effect of restraining the market from
jumping into premature engagements
for the 1907 crops. Last year nearly all
fields, which gambling venture was sim
ply the result of the sweeping boom in
the market Crops were overpaid and
consequences of that rash venture. The
absence Of boom now will at least pre-

market has realized so far from the new
crops we're yielded by the New England
crop, and that was done because the
packers refrained last year from rushing
to buy the crop in the fields and pay the
farmers unreasonable advances. By
sticking to the same course this year,
packers will have a chance to acquire
the 1907 crops at figures that will be al

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 1907.

Repors from the growing sections are
to the effect that the crop has been safe
ly housed There is some danger that
in their anxiety to get their tobacco
under shelter before the advent of frost,
some of the farmers cut it before it was
sufficiently ripe. 1t is stated that there
has been no buying in the fields this fall,
which is very wholesome feature, and
thereby a great deal of litigation and
trouble will be avoided Later reports
concerning the damage done in Wiscon-
sin and Ohio by the frosts of two weeks
ago are discouraging, as large portion
of the crop that had not been housed at
that time was killed. On the local mar
ket the first samples Of 1906 thinner
Spanish are being shown, and it is said
they represent very desirable line of
tobacco Prices are high. Business has
been quiet locally, but the dealers and
packers are not disheartened, arguing
that the fact of this years crop running
largely to filler will certainly bring about
