WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, June 10, 1908.

EDGERToN, Wis, June 10, 1908.
An effort to cinch the last remnants of
the 1907 crop is still being pushed by
buyers representing some branch of the
American Tobacco Co., not only in the
country districts but in packers hands
as we'll. In the aggregate they have
been able to add considerable to their
holdings during the week, the great bulk
of course, being transferred from ware
houses to their account. The largest Of
these deals is the securing of the low
grade ends from the Equity packings,
being equivalent to about 1000 cases. A
fair sized packing at Lacrosse and an
other at Deerfield is said to have dropped
into their basket. Prices from growers
hands are fully maintained at former
quotations.
The prospects for old stock is looking
up, though no large deals are reported.
The planting of the new crop is now
under full swing in all sections and is
going into the fields under the best con-
ditions. Cool weather and frequent
rains are conducive to securing a good
stand and an early roofing of the young
plants.
The shipments out of storage reach
l156 cases and % car loads of bundle
goods from this market to all points for
the week. "a car loads were received
from outlying points.

before the close of this week, and some
still later.

NEW IORK, June Id, 1910.
The leaf market continues to show
gradual improvement. There is con-
slant demand for every kind of leaf, but
as rule the quantities absorbed are OF
limited size. An exception, however, &C.
Cured during the week in the purchase
of about one thousand cases OF 1906 Wis
consin by one of our largest corpora
tions. This purchase again proves the
provident policy of large concerns. In
view of the fact that the 1907 Wisconsin
crop was short and defective one and
that the portion which has been saved
of it runs more into the filler than binder
type, it is evident that the 1906 crop will
have to do binder services for the cigar
industry for nearly two years. And con-
sidering further that the packers OF the
1906 crop have not only renounced all
profit on it but have resigned themselves
also to pocket loss on their investment,
it is hardly likely that with an increased
demand for it there could be further
cut in prices. Acting on these prospects
the larger concerns are now quietly
reaching out to supply themselves suffi-
GENTLY with what appears practically
the only sound and available binder
crop. Activity maintains itself also in
the trading of Sumatra. There lis not
the slightest objection manifesting itself
now against the new importations. Both
the quality of the leaf and its prevalent
market price seem to give satisfaction.
In the Havana market the stir of hustle
is keeping up, too. The old stock is
finding now far reader takers than for
months and months past. This clearing
of the market is fortunate occurrence
for the new crop which at least in some
of its types will soon be in merchant
able condition and which it is expected
will also be great improvement on both
of the two preceding ops.-Journal.

Too much legislation is proving dam
aging to the dairying interests of the
state, declares the Neenah Times, and in
support of the contention the paper
quotes farmers of Winnebago county.
two of whom have recently disposed of
their cattle herds because of demands
made upon them for changes in the
stable and ommodations to care for
the cows. Despite the fact that be
stables were fairly we'll Lighted and pro-
vided with good ventilation, the state in
spector insisted upon changss which the
farmers contended would have been
such as TO require the building of new
stables and to this they protested and
rather than comply with lie demand,
disposed of their herds. The two herds
numbered forty head each ard the farm
ers retained only enough COW ) to supply
their own needs. 1t is claimed that the
demands made by the state are, in some
cases, unreasonable and much complaint
is made.

LANCASTER, PA, June y, 1913.
Some dealing was done ia 1906 leaf
tobacco in the local tobacco market dur
ing the past week, the buyers being
mostly manufacturers. While no single
large sale is reported Of old tobacco, the
aggregate of the sales is considerable. It
is an encouraging sign that inquiries are
once more being made by outside deal
ers Few sales were made during the
week of new tobacco, which shows that
trusts have gobbled up all they want, or
that the packers who hold what is left
intend keeping it for regular customers.
The packers say that the tendency of
prices on 1906 and 1907 goods is upward,
which is considered sure sign that the
cigar industry is assuming a healthy
tone. So far as reports go, the 1907
goods are getting along satisfactorily in
the sweat, those who have examined any
of their packings reporting that very lit
tie rot is showing. 1t is too early yet,
however, to predict what the quality of
this tobacco will be, though the packers
are predicting good things from it,
probably to make amends for the many
ugly things said Of it while it was still in
the growers hands.
While great deal of planting of the
new crop is done, good deal remains to
be done, and the present dry weather is
holding back the setting out of plants.

localities New Era.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

A prominent official of the big tobac-
CO trust is reported to have said recent
ly that his concern had never iyet pushed
the scrap manufacturing business but
were now preparing to go out after IL
hard Viewed from the standpoint of
the enormous purchases which the
American and its subsidiary concerns
have made of low grade cigar leaf the
past few months, there might be good
deal OF truth contained in this state
ment. The trust is certainly we'll forti-
fed to start campaign that would
make their competitors go some. With
thousand car loads of Wisconsin leaf,
together with the big holdings of Penn
sylvania, New York and Ohio tobaccos,
gives them stock to draw from that
they never before controlled. The price,
too, at which this stock was bought
would be another strong clement in
their favor, for like quantity was never
purchased so cheaply. Just where the
ihu0peuueutt scrap nahuloOtuAOAo Sou
raw their supplies of raw leaf from if
it comes to lively trade war is difficult
now to see, for the growing districts are
we'll nigh stripped of low grade stock
and the price of cuttings could easily be
put up to prohibitive figure. If they
so desire, the trust is in a position to
make it quite uncomfortable for their
competitors il the scrap business.
Watch and see.

THE CONSERVATION

Two Men Who Are Devotihg Them
selves to the Work of Saving.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 30.-(Spe-
cial correspondence of The RepuDli-
can.)-There are at least two men
in the country devoted heart and
soul to this task One is Clifford
Pinchot, the United States govern
ment forester. and the other is F..
w. Fitzpatrick, the executive officer
of tho International Society of Build
ing Commissioners. In many respects
the two men are alike, in their en-
thusiasm for their chosen cause, their
disinterestedness and fearlessness,
the magnitude of the work they have
undertaken and the certainty that
there will be scant thanks given
them for the mighty work they are
doing. 1t was very largely through
Mr.. Pinchot's influence with the
president that the governors were
called into conclave to devise means
of preserving the nations forests,
mines and other great natural re-
sources. The awful forest fires of
the last couple of months ought to
give force to and illustrate the i'm
pdrtance and the need of protective
action at least in regard to our tim
Der. The task Mr.. Fitzpatrick has
set himself is that of diminishing our

source, but with something that we

went to the coast, hoping that a

returned early in September his
health had declined to a still fur
