The condition of the crop at this sea-
son has improved perceptibly, but there
is need of improvement yet to make
first class crop of it in this locality,
Some of the farmers commenced cutting
this week and many more have been
sharpening up their cutters, clearing
sheds, and such work as is always neces-
sary to be done before harvest begins.
On Monday next, however, if the wealth
er continues favorable. many will be at
the harvest. With the dry, hot weather
that has prevailed, the crop has ripened
very fast, and the pieces that looked a
week ago as though it would require ten
days, at least, to ripen, | am informed
will have to be cut right away to secure
the crop in it's best condition.
Correspondents report as follows: East
Whatley, Mass. Aug. 13: "a few words
about the crops Yesterday [ saw
number of crops aroudd town, and will
say that the tobacco, as whole, is the
finest crop we have had for several years.
Cutting has begun and by next week a
good many will be at it. In the south
and central part of the town the tobacco
is the best" Suffield, Conn, Aug 10:
Several of our tobacco growers, who
were the first to get their plants set 10
the fields, have begun cutting. The crop
of tobacco and other crops are large and
good" Bradstreet. Mass: "a number
here are cutting their tobacco, but the
general rush will come next week. To-
bacco is doing finely; the rain of Satur-
day came just in time to finish off the
crop in good shape. "-Cultivator.

The growers are all looking for rain
and few good showers would be of
great benefit to the tobacco. Topping
has become general in the last few days,
and some of the earlier and more ad-
vanced crops will be ready for cutting
next week. The general tendency
among some growers is to begin cutting
too early, but the more experienced
growers, appreciating the greatly in-
creased value given to the tobacco in the
latter part of the season, wait until their
crop is ripe and fully matured before
cutting, preferring to take the chance OF
damage by an early frost rather than the
certainty of material loss by cutting
green tobacco.

NEW YORK, Aug. 81, 1907.

NEW aORK, aug. IL, IoU'.
Following is the opioion Of promi-
nent leaf dealer of this city as to wheth-
er a recession in the price of domestic
leaf is imminent or not:
"The whole thing depends upon
whether the domestic cigar industry
continues to maintain its present rate of
production. In the opinion of the best
informed packers there has been no ma
terial increase in the leaf output of any
staple cigar leaf producing State since
1892, with the exception of New Eng
land, and also, OF course, excepting Geor-
gia and Florida, where the cigar leaf IN
dustry is of comparatively recent origin.
The other staple cigar leaf producing
States are New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Wisconsin. In New York there has
been decrease. The cigar industry has
increased 60 per cent. since 1892. The
1906 crop ia sufficient for full years
supply for the manufacturers, but it can
not be stretched further. Particularly
insthe States of Ohio and Wisconsin is it
probable that no crop ever threw off
such large per cent of export grades.
In PENNSYLVANIA the tobacco proved
much lighter in character than had been
hoped for With an abundant crop of
1907 tobacco, every we'll informed packer
felt certain that the 1906 tobaccos would
be consumed entirely before the COM
petition of the new crop had to be met.
and this would prevent any great sag
ging in price But with the 1907 crop in
the state in which it is-where it will
take a. miracle to produce binder crop
in any State, or crop of any descrip-
ton equal to Is per cent. of the 1906
crop the manufacturers hopes of lower
prices must fade away. not only for the
present, but at least until the fall OF

MIAMIsBURG, O., Aug. 20, 1907.

The past week has not witnessed
material advancement in the condition
of the tobacco crop. The season was
late and the crop late in getting planted
and started, and unless a warm late fall
occurs, considerable tobacco will never
see the sheds.
Fifty per cent. of the usual crop is the
estimate most frequently heard, though
occasionally rs per cent. estimate is
advanced. A great unevenness in the
plants seems to prevail generally, and
fields present ragged appearance.
Several planters report cutting a few
advanced plants, more will be cut next
week, but general cutting will hardly
begin before September 1st. Planters
who still hold their 1906 crops are ex-
pecting to realize enough on the crop
now to make up for the shrinkage,-

New YORK. Aug. "a, 1907.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a, l9OI.
With the knowledge that has come to
it by the publication of the vast output
of our cigar industry during the fiscal
year ended June 30th last, and it's entire
ly unexpected large increase and our
analytical comments on it, the market
mas found again it's bearing of solid
stediness. Every thought of concession
in the price scale has vanished nor was
there heard any strenuous demand for
price reduction on the part of buyers
who are now crowding the market. The
demand is rather more strenuous for
goods than for scaling prices The chief
demand seems to be for 1909 Pennsyl-
vania, the stock that showed the great
est weakness during the many months of
the current year when "the passive re-
sstance" to paying last falls prices
manifested itself so impressively in the
abstentation from buying altogether.
The reason advanced for the suddenly
increased demand for 1905 Pennsylvania
is the price advanced on the thinner,
but the stock of the 1905 Pennsylvania
is so depleted that it cannot come near
to gratifying the demand for it. In
Connecticut leaf, which suffered last
year such collapse, trading seems to
have become active again. Both the
Havana seed and broadleaf, particularly
the latter type, have found buyers again
in the Western jobbers. AS the starch
of the excessive prices on both types has
been taken out by last years drop, the
investment in them is likely to prove re-
munerative Seconds rule still high, the
broadleaf commanding from % to 30
cents, but the wrapper price has shrunk
considerab oily, running from about 80 to
55 cents Compared with the IS and 80
cents which ruled two years ago, the
current price would appear like bar
gBin In Sumatra leaf business con-
tinues most steady and active. A rea.
sonable explanation of it is given in our
editorial article in this issue "On Our
Consumption of Foreign Leaf During
the Fiscal Year, 1906 1907" The total
consumption of $4,000 bales during the
year mentioned proves that the Sumatra
in spite of all it's rivals and attempted
substitutes remains the great wrapper
bu!wark for the bone and sinew of our
cigar industry, that is, it's nickel cigar
production, and the increase of the 4, ,OOO
bale consumption covers almost exactly
the increase in our full hedged cigars,
which amounted to two hundred and
fifty-six millions. From that it might
be inferred that the great demand for
Florida last year had it's cause not in
decreased consumption of Sumatra but
in the reputation Of our Connecticut
wrapper leaf by our cigar manufactur-
ers-Journal.

Upon the statement by Senator Law
renee that the senate could not possibly
agree with the amendments made by the
house IN the appropriation bill. President
Love yesterday afternoon appointed A con-
terence committee before the house had

Ihe most serious matters of dispute
viii be the wholesale slaughter of the
appropriation for the state board of
health which, if the house amendments
should carry, would practically have to
close its office. This streak of economy
on the part of the lower branch of tho

HOW OUR GOOD OLD GRAND
MOTHERS CURED COUGHS AND
col ne

Our g-andmothers had the right idea;
when any one had cough or cold on
the lungs IT. their day, the good old goose
grease and turpentine were trotted out
and the chess was plastered good and
thick and a piece of flannel was put
on; Their tea was made of flaXseed. with
addition of sugar, icorice and lemon
juice-pre:ty good stuff. too. Why? Be
cause the principle was all right
The writer was talking to one of the
leading local druggists about this the
other day and remarked that they didn't
do things like they used to.
The druggist remarked that there vas
one firm that nad started on the right
track and had brought the good old prin-
ciples of our grandmothers down to date.
He then went and brought out a pack
age of the BROMO COUGH REMEDY,
and showed the writer Upon opening the
package the writer found a BROMO
COUGH PLASTER and a bottle of
COUGH MIXTURE. The druggist eX-
planned that the plaster was to put on
the chest tc relieve the congestion on
the lungs that usually accompanied
coughs and colds. This loosened up the
cough. just like the goose grease
did, making il easy for the cough mix
ture to do its work
The writer thought this a pretty clever
idea. and certainly a most practical one
Incidentally the druggist remarked that
the whole package only cost 50 cents, so
you really get the plaster free.

Governor Returns Three Measures
With His DisapproVal.

House bill No. y. relating to the colec-

governor on the ground that the title was
defective in material ways and that cor

The veto was sustained.
The governor sent in his veto of house
bill No. 266. providing for the organization
of mutual fire Insurance companies. The
executive said THAT eighty per cent of mu-
tual fire insurance companies have failed
and that the history OF sucn organizations
is history of disaster.
