Denies New Trial in Tobacco Case.


! Judge Stevens yesterday denied a new
trial to the defendants in the case OF
Ray GreDewalt of Alton, Rock county
against Carl Roe and Louis Brictson OF
Stoughton He made an order for judg-
ment in favor of the plaintiff in accor
dance with the special verdict of the
jury.
Mr. Grenewalt entered into contract
with the defendants for the sale OF his
crop of tobacco. The defendants re-
fused to accept the crop on the grounds
that it wrs not in good condition and
Mr.. Grenewalt sued for the difference
between the agreed contract price and
the amount for which he finally sold is.
There can be no question but that
the contract was valid and binding
agreement from it's inception although
executory in nature" says the court.
"Had the plaintiff refused to deliver his
crop OF tobacco, the defendants could
have maintained an action against him
and the plaintiff could not have escaped
liability on his contract by mere failure
to strip and prepare the tobacco for
market in accordance with the require
ments of the contract AS the terms of
the contract were not conditions prece-
dent, the plaintiff did not have the bur
den of showing that he complied with
these provisions. ."-Madiso' Democrat.

LANCASTER, PA, Dec. 81, 1907.
The local leaf tobacco trade shows no
symptom of breaking the long continued
dull SPELL The packers are hopeful of
change early in the new year, but there
do not appear to be any tangible reasons
on which to found these expectations.
The manufacturers complain about the
high prices of leaf, and say these must
come down, while the holders OF the 1906
goods point to the high prices which
they paid for that tobacco, and declare
that they cannot take less than what
they are asking now. The fact that out
side dealers have dead locked with the
local packers on prices is anything but
promising for an early resumption OF
trade, and doubtless the dead lock will
continue until the market compels the
packers and buyers to get down to a
level on compromise. In the mean
time the packers are kept out OF the,
trade they have right to be expecting
about this time. The cigar trade is,
about as dull as the leaf business, and so
far the clouds show no silver lining.
The growers say the new crop con-
tinues curing satisfactorily, and that the
longer it is left on the poles the better it
looks. There has been no selling yet,,
and growers and packers do not think
there will be any until after stripping is
over.
Thirty five hundred cases OF 1905 Wis
consin were sold last week to a large
New York cigar factory, breakiug thus
the gloom of apathy that had ruled the
leaf market since the occurrence of the
financial crisis Three Water street
houses participated in this transaction,
one to the extent of 400 cases on which
the house is reported to have lost snug
little fortune. The exact price at which
the Wisconsin was sold could pot be as
certained but the gossip of the street
has it between II and 18 cents. 1t was
southern Wisconsin tobacco, and that
accounts partly for it's low price. The
factory in question is said to be on the
lookout for more of such bargains

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, Jan. 10, 1908.

There is developing more of disposi-
tion to purchase the new crop than any
time before since the harvest, and lit
tie picking away is done in nearly all
sections. So far none of the large oper-
ators are interested and the deals are
quite largely made under the force Of
circumstance that compels growers to
realize on their product. A few local
dealers desire to put sample lots through
their warehouses as the best test of the
merits of the crop and also as guide to
further business. The following sales
show the range of prices and indicate
what values buyers are willing to place
on the crop:
