A WISE CONCLUSION.

Is. The slaughter OF the innocent
does drive away good citizens. From
one small neighborhood twenty-five
families have gone. A great many
OF them were buying homes on the
installment plan
16. The crimes of the mob include
robbery as well as murder. In a
number of cases the property of in
nocent and unoffending people was
taken. Furniture was destroyed,
small shops were looted, windows
were smashed, trunks were burst
open, money was taken from the
small hoard, and articles of value
were appropriated. In the commits
sion of these crimes the victims, both
men and women. were treated with
uDspeakable brutality.

The principal business in the local do
mestic leaf market for the past week was
in Connecticut Broad leaf, Pennsylvania
Broad leaf and New York State binders.
Although no extremely large transactions
are reported, fair amount of business
has been done in these lines. The buy
ers are unit in pronouncing the prices
high The tight money market is be-
lieved to be responsible to large ex-
tent for the lack of notable transactions,
as it seems that the manufacturers are
afraid to involve themselves heavily
under present monetary conditions. The
reports from the country districts agree
that weather conditions have been fav-
orable for housing the crop raised this
year.
Sumatra Those who were expecting
the aspect of the Sumatra market to be
changed by the inscriptions this fall had
very little basis for their opinion, ludg-
ing by the returns from the first inscrip-
tion, although American houses bought
quite literally. About fifteen hundred
bales were taken for the American mar
ket. The prices do not show any mark
ed divergence from those that ruled
during the closing spring Inscriptions
The local market has been fairly active

ported this week, about fifteen hundred

days steamer. The business of the local
market has been confined to few pick

cutting, however, because the tobacco
has had chance to develop and mature.
Taken as a whole, the crop will be a
moderately fair one, and the calamity
howlers will have to take back seat
now. Cutting has become general, and
the farmers are busy lot of people.
Within the next week or ten days most
of the crop will have been cut. 1t will
be filler crop, nothing more, and there
is noticeable absence of the long, broad
leaves that we have been accustomed to
see the past few seasons. But the leaves
of this years crop are heavier, which
will, in measure, make up for lack of
size. The grower has had all sorts of
drawbacks this season, but the disaster

hail fall worth the name The bug pest,
too, was not much in evidence.
So far there has been no buying on
the field, nor is there any likelihood of
there being any buying until the crop is
hung up.
The past week has witnessed some
movement in the local leaf market, and
probably two thousand cases changed
hands. M M. Fry & Co. and r. X.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

With the passing of another week we
can report great improvement of the
late tobacco. Much of it is harvested,
80 that many of the fields have been
cleared of the standing crop. Instead
of being poor, light crop, it has become
one of fair proportions, with a good leaf;
not so many leaves as were grown upon
the stalks of the earlier cut tobacco. 1t
is fairly we'll ripened, so that instead of
being crop failure, it can be pronounc-
ed quite good crop.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Conway, Mass. Sept. Is: What fine
weather to harvest tobacco! 1t looks as
if the farmers were being we'll cared for
after ALL The rains of the past two
weeks have improved the late tobacco
great deal, so that it will average up a

another week to finish harvesting the

the frost holds off and we have such nice
weather" Bradstreet, Mass, Sept. l6:
about 10 per cent. of the tobacco is in
the field today. The coming week with

Reliable and Spurious Sample Tickets

The advantages of a reliable sample
ticket issued by responsible inspection
firm in accordance with the rules and
regulations adopted by the Leaf Tobacco
Boards have been pointed out in our is
sue of last week. They ought to be the
more taken into consideration in view of
the many spurious sample tickets which
have been let loose on the trade. These
spurious tickets affect the same color,
type and wording as the original ones
and bear sometimes even the name Of
some firm; but whose existence it would
be difficult to unearth and whose re-
sponsibil ty. of course, is rather bcti
tious Most of them print New York
on the ticket, which being the place and
origin of stripped samples and the larg-
est cigar leaf market is doubtless re-
garded as helpful in giving standing aud
weight to such tickets. The present
method of marketing leaf throughout
the states and abroad renders it difficult
for purchasers OF tobacco to know or
verify the existence and responsibility OF
the concern purporting to have drawn
the sample and thus the door is wide
open for nondescript and spurious sam
pie tickets. 1t would therefore be we'll
that buyers should scrutinize the tickets
on samples offered, for there can be no
question as to the preference OF such as
are authorized and approved by the
trade organizations and which represent
the genuine guarantee OF recognized
responsible inspection firm.-U. ). To-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERroN. WIS. Sept. q, 1907.

A light frost on the morning of the
21st, supplemented by more severe one
on the Oath, has put bad crimp in the
tobacco harvest. A vast amount of to-
bacco has been cut since the cold wave
warnings were sent out, much of it i'm
mature at that, but it seems pretty gen.
orally agreed that from Is to % per cent
of the crop of the state has been caught
in the fields and more or less marked by
the freeze. Hundreds of acres of fine
looking tobacco that needed but few
days more of warm weather to mature,
and little time for the farmers to har-
vest, has been injured if not entirely
ruined. 1t is hard to say at this writing
just how much of it the grower will at
tempt to save. Not since 1874 have the
growers of this state sustained such
losses from this source.
The cool weather of the week has
hardly been exactly suitable for the cur
ing out of the harvested tobacco and a
good deal of warm weather will still be
needed to see it safely through.
The market for old leaf drags along
uneventful. A few moderate sized sales
are recorded but trading has not yet
reached to the dimensions of packings.
Sampling of last years packing is still
going on but is getting we'll along. G.
Fl. Rumrill reports the sale of 200cs for
the week.
Shipments out of storage reach but
about 4OOcs for the week to all points
from this market.

NEW YORK. Sept. 81, 1907.
The condition of the market, though
in good shape, is not of the booming kind
as last year. Manufacturers are slow in
making heavy investments in the supply
of their raw material, evidently prefer
ring to wait till some change sets in.
The New England leaf continues to be
the readiest seller because it is sound
and reasonable in price. In filler stock
it appears that the 1906 Pennsylvania
crop will not be as easily disposed OF as
was the 1905 crop. In the first place it
was bought too dearly from the farmers.
In the second place it has not turned out
to justify the high price paid for it. 1t
lacks more or less the heavy substance
that is required of the B filters and then
it shows damage to larger than usual
extent. Nevertheless a higher price is
asked for it than the 1905 crop com
manded and manufacturers are trying to
switch off to the use of other filler types,
notably to thinner Spanish and Onon-
daga, the price of which rules somewhat
lower than that for the Pennsylvania.
Old filler stock is greatly in demand, but
little of it is on hand in bulk. Trading
in Sumatra continues steady and some
activity is prevailing also in old Rene
dios. The offerings of new Partidos find
ready buyers, although the stock of new
Havana is still limited in the market.
The demand on the local cigar factor
les shows a steady and gratifying in
crease. Domestic manufacturers con-
tinue 20 talk of making raise, but as
time goes on nothing particular mate
rialiZes. That the old prices should be
preserved through the expected Fall
boom would seem to be almost impos-
sible, but on such matters our cigar
! manufacturers are exceedingly conserva.
tive, not to say timid. The new Tobacco
Trades Protective League is attracting a
good deal Of attention from manufacture
ers. The fact that leading member oi
the industry is it's president lends it es
pecia interest, and it is hoped and ex
pected that it will prove more effective
than any organization in which manu-
facturers have taken part in the past
Journal.

The late set tobacco has shown a won
derful improvement in the past few days.
The rains during the present month
have supplied the moisture so badly
needed and the tobacco has developed
rapidly The experienced growers, al
though appreciating the danger from
frosts, are waiting for their tobacco to
ripen before cutting, fully realizing from
past experience that as much damage
can be done to a valuable crop by pre-
mature cutting as by frosts, and they
are. therefore, waiting until their tobac-
co is in proper condition before cutting

There has been wonderful hustle in
tobacco fields the past few days to shed
outstanding crops. Quite number of
growers finished but there we're some
who had half of their crop out and this
was badly frozen last night. 1t will be
turned under for fertilizer. Owing to
the peculiar season the tobacco crop has
been very backward and not until the
warm weather of few weeks since did
it make rapid growth. If the crop
could have had two weeks more of fine
weather the crop in general would have
been fine one. There is lots of good
tobacco as it is.

they otherwise would have been. Our
