The National Convention of the So
ciety of Equity met at Milwaukee last
week, but at the very outset was ad.
vised by their attorney that their pro.
ceedings would be illegal, SO that what
ever business was conducted was simply
advisory, subject to confirmation by q
subsequent convention to be held at
Indianapolis, as it is an Indiana corpora
ton. The following paragraph was TAX
Ell from Milwaukee papers account OF
the proceedings of the session:
An outspoken suppor- of the night
riders Cof Kentucky by Delegate j. H,
Burney of GreenVille, Ky, and the adop-
tion of the report OF the committee on
minimum prices were the features of the
afternoon session. According to Mr..
Burney the night riders of Kentucky are
supporting just cause and asserting
their American manhood. The atroci-
ties and crimes charged to them ia the
newspapers, he brands as exaggerations
and lies. Mr. Burney, although he did
not admit that he had taken part ia any
of the night raids, lives inthe center of
the infested district.
We can scarcely believe that the Wis
consin delegates present will sanction
such sentiments or will long fraternize
with men who entertain so little respect
for law and order.

at Steelton, Pa, is ready for occupation.
The plant is one of the many owned by
the New York firm and it is said that it
is one of the largest and best equipped
of their buildings. This building which
is of brick, is four stories high and Gov

New YORK, Oct. 10, 1908.

New YORK, Oct. TO, 1908.
Market conditions are mending but
slowly. The continued monthly de-
creases in the output of our cigar indus
try are not a spur for advance invest
ments by manufacturers. And it would
be overstraining optimism to expect even
now return to the normal state OF the
trade il by that normal state is meant
the elimination of the boom period in
1906. Anybody calculating on the speedy
return OF that state is likely to be disap-
pointed for some time to come. Condi-
tions, however, are not despairing. The
output of our cigar. industry is still a
very extensive one and to that extent
raw leaf will have to be consumed.
There is, therefore, always demand for
certain types of leaf, only sales are not
of the bulky quantities as when the ci-
gar industry is on steady increase and
prices rising in consequence in the leaf
market. For the present prices are
steady on the level they have reached,
with no prospects of declining either.
On the contrary, if only the least rising
activity should make itself felt in the
cigar industry, as it no doubt will be-
cause of the approach of the holiday
trade, prices are bound to advance at
least for some types, There is, for IN
stance, no abundance of binder stock on
hand and the 1907 Wisconsin crop was
rather short of available binder leaf.
The holdings of the 1906 crop are there
fore liable to advance as the demand for
it will revive. similar situation may
be said to prevail as regards Zimmer's
Spanish. This years crop has been par
TALLY failure, while last years was an
exceptionally good one Consequently
the 1907 Zimmers will be bound to be Ia
greater demand and to command also
advance prices. The recovery of the
leaf market may appear to be slow, but
il is no doubt to be certain. j Journal.

That the buying movement is steadily

While there is more looking and more
inquiry for cured leaf, the market has
not yet responded to the asking price of
holders of these goods in general, but
sales are occasionally made near old
time figures. We learn of some large
deals under consideration. Geo.. Rum
rill reports the sale of Goes of '06, 37cs OF
'O7 and the recent purchase from pack
ers and others OF 820cs OF 'O7. A 20Ocs
lotof '07 has changed hands in this mar
ket and A. Jenson & Sons purchased 68
cases of '07 from Ell. G. Anderson, which
comprise some of the movements OF the
week.
The shipments out of storage reach
l368cs from this market to all points for
the week. Four carloads were received
from outside points.

Reports from the county indicate that
quite a good deal of tobacco has been
bought by represen tatives of the United
Cigar Manufacturers, but so far as
known the local dealers have not done
any buying vet. They, like most of the
growers, prefer to wait until the tobacco
is stripped, and intend waiting, too, IN
less forced into buying by the operations
of the trusts. Prices being offered do
not suit our growers, who realize that
the crop is a good one, and they mean TO
get all they can for it. The tobacco is
curing satisfactorily, the late rains being
just what were needed.
The buying of the 1907 goods contin
ues, too and the 1906 tobac:a is moving
of, likewise. The prices pr aiiug are
about what they we're last We, L, though
the packers expect Lteady advance on
the 1907 goods.
Among recent sales reported were the
following: j. f. Girvin, eola, 200 cases
of 1907; Louis Sondheir 1er and H. N.
Fry, 25O cases of 1907; Career & Gish,
Rheems, 500 cases of 1907; :. s. Harnish,

Conditions have been highly favorable
of late and the outlook for the crop is of
the brightest. The weather has been
ideal for curing purposes with the result
that the work of stripping is far more
advanced than usual at this time Of
year. According to those who have
taken down and stripped a portion Of
their crops, the tobacco is of excellent
appearance and quality and away ahead
of last year in size, color and weight. No
pole burn or stem rot is reported, and
though there is some hail cut leaf yet
the aggregate OF damaged goods is il
considerable. A few buyers are around,
but no sales are reported as yet. Farm
ers are looking for good prices for the
new crop and will not sell below what
they consider fair figures. A few sales
of the 1907 crop are reported at fair
prices.

News from Wisconsin indicates that
buying of the new crop is going on there
10 considerable volume and that high
prices are being paid. good quality be-
ing sold at 10 and cents. The reports
of damage found in the recently sampled
1907 packings has probably given addi-
tional impetus TO this movement, which
is being carried on by some OF the larg-
est cigar manufacturing establishments
in the country, rather than by packers.
There is also a sentiment that the new
crop is likely to run largely to BIS, and
if this is true, what binders the crop
contains will be very valuable property
within another year. A good volume of
trade has been reported locally, but no
transactions of Importance have taken
place.

compiled from the returns made by the
assessors of the county as required by
law, and indicate that while the areas

La issuing the call for the state con-
vention of the Society of Equity the fol-
lowing appears:
The enormous success Of the tobacco
department, whereby the members OF
the 1907 pools will receive fully twice
the average for that portion of the Wis
consin crop that was not in the pool, is
sufficient TO stir the enthusiasm of all OF
our members and secure large attend
ance from the sections of the state where
tobacco is grown.
Then in another column of the Wis
consin Equity News is this:
Upon the second drawing of samples
it has been found that the tobacco in
Equity pool has not co ne ou. much bet
ter than the general run in the state.
Out of the first two hundred twenty five
cases drawn from insone of the upstate
pools, there were one hundred seventy
one cases with white mould and fifty
four in good shape. This is the worst
that has been found so far"
Yes, but the average packings cannot
show any such record for damage as this
and almost suggests there must be
something wrong in the manner of putt
ing up these goods. So the big profits
which this organ of the Equity promised
goes a glimmering. When we suggested
a few weeks ago that it would be better
to wait until after the balance sheet was
made up before promising too much to
the holders in the pool, we had in view
there might possibly be some disappoint-
ments, same as other spectators in to-
bacco sometimes sustain What will the
deluded farmer say when he receives his
statement and finds instead Of the prom
ised Il cents about half that price? Why
attempt to deceive by promising more
than it is possible when the truth best
be told?
