The Connecticut broadleaf craze kept
the marketspell-bound during the week.
Everyone of the numerous cohort of
the Western trade seemed to be bound
on getting some of that fashionable
type regardless of price. 1t was rep
itition of the Florida craze of 1906, but
it is to be hoped that it will not expert
ence the same turn-coat change as did
the Florida year after. Prices for
broadleaf wrappers ruled between 65
cents and IS cents and no questions
asked about white veins. The Havana
seed, however, was not neglected
either. Several large transactions in
that type were effected with the West
ern trade. And it was not all in sec
onds either. Several lots of Havana
seed wrappers were sold as wrappers
at pretty stiff figures. In this scrin-
mage for available wrapper leaf, the
Florida found also customers again. Of
course, not at the figures that prevailed
three years ago. The Florida, as far
as price is concerned, seems to have
come down from its high pretensions
and to move in more conducive at
mosphere of modesty. Under this
change manufacturers cannot fail to
turn their attention again to it. 1t may
have lost for the present its fashion
able vogue, but with the merits of last
years crop and with reasonable price
it will no doubt regain a steady Glen
tele. In Sumatra also the market has
had an extraordinary stir during the
week. Not only were sales made of
several large-sized lots, but also Of
very high priced goods. Altogether it
was a banner week for the market and
augurs most auspiciously for the recov-
cry of trade conditions. journal

MIAMIsBURG, O., Aug. 18, 1909.
Tobacco is not making satisfactory
growth. Early set plants are blossom
ing without the usual development Of
leaf.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1909-08-27

No blame need be attached to the
farmer for selling his tobacco at any
time when he is offered attractive
prices, though of choice he would much
prefer to wait until his. crop is secured
before signing a contract for its sale.
And yet after his crop is sold there is a
temptation to harvest it too green and
to devote less care and attention to the
curing and stripping than he otherwise
would if depending on the attractive
ness of his crop to make sale later.
Another disagreeable feature of early
selling, to the grower, is that if any,
thing happens to the crop before deliv-
cry time he is pretty sure to meet
trouble - receive deductions from the
contract price when his tobacco is de-
livered = and many know what that
means. The experience with the '06
crop and previous ones as well ought
not to be forgotten so soon. The writ
ers' opinion of the practice of field buy
ing has been frequently expressed in
this column but we cannot allow the
occasion to pass without again con-
demning it as reckless and unbusiness-
like in the extreme.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1909-08-27

The revenue returns show quite a
perceptible advance in number of cigars
manufactured during July over the last
previous July in 'O8, which may be TAX
en- as an indication that business is
slowly recovering from the panic year.
While as yet the figures are far short
of the highwater mark in '07, improve
ment is in a way encouraging to hold
ers of old stock and gives hope of an
increased demand for cured goods the
coming year. There are other indica-
tions also that the tide is turning to-
wards better business for the leaf men.

terday morning to run down some cul-
prlts who attempted to dynamite the

The dogs followed the trail to a home
a snort distance from the church. No
arrests were made.
There mas been an ugly spirit ex.
isting among the foreigners in Monou.
gah for some time and the present
trouble is thought to be an outcome
OF IT. A few weeks ago some boys were
arrested for disturbing the sacerJotal
vestments Of the church. There was
nothing done.
The county officials had no notice
Of the trouble. 1t is not likely that
there will be sny further disturbance.
