Tobacco planters are yet being sold
by Viroqua dealers in agricultural ma
chinery and numerous farmers have
setting to be done.
The Edgerton Reporter has this gem
eral comment to offer:
Slowly the tobacco trade is getting
back to normal conditions again. The
greater share of the people who were
loaded up with high priced stock when
the panic struck the country six months
ago have accepted their losses, balanced
their books and are ready now to do
business on a more conservative basis.
The liquidating has cut deep into the
capital of some concerns for many pack
ers were carrying stock on which loss
of $40 a box was accepted. The worst
is believed to be over, the limit OF the
sag In prices reached and already the
indications are that better figures can be
realized. The general public have but
little idea of the sacrifices the trade has
passed through, and the wonder is that
failures have not been more frequent.
A lesson has been learned that will
leave deep and lasting impression.
1t ought to be many years before sae
errors of '06 viii be repeated. Neither
do dealers need to be so often reminded
that the reckless buying Of tobacco in
the fields is mighty risky business.
The American Tobacco company which
has been the active element for some
weeks past, has withdrawn its buyers
from he field and the movement is APP
parenlly at close, after campaign
that has cleaned up the growing dis
trlct about as closely as any time in
recent years. The prices were fully
maintained to the END.

On the second floor the men of Fire
Patrol No. | and No. 3 were also uccessful
in getting to the wi ,doWs on the Fourth
Avenus side Of the building and escaping
down the ladders. When they reached the
street, however, it was found that Fireman
John Fallon was missing. Fireman John
Hutchinson, who was the last man out, said
he was sure Fallon had died.

he said, "and we were both buried. | sue

then I looked around for Fallon. | dug in
the debris around me and shouted bis name"
cat last the flames and heat drove me out.
It would have be4n sheer suicide to have
stayed longer, but it broke my heart to
leave Fallon."
Almost Immediately after the fall Of the
floors the flames seemed to increase. The
draught was stronger and they mounted
swiftly through every nook and Granny on
each floor until flames we're bursting from
every window on tha Fourth Avenue side.
Into this seething furnace the two water
towers were throwing streams, and a dozen
lines Of hose were adding to the mass of
water poured on the flames. They seemed
to have little effect, however.
Early this morning Deputy Chief Binns
gave permission to Battalion Chief Ross
and q number Of volunteers from Trucks 5
and 20 to enter the building and search for
the bodies of Fallon, Phillips and O'Connor.
Battalion Chief Ross had been on the fifth
floor with the men when the floors fell, and
because Of this, felt that he had more chance
than another of finding the bodies.
Deputy Chief Binns said that the fire was
the worst that the Manhattan Fire Depart
ment has ever cope@ with. 1t was impossi-
bic to get water above the sixth floor even
when lines Of hose were carried to this height.
