EDGERToN, WIS.,, May %, 1909.
We have to chronicle the same story
of nothing doing in local markets as re-
CARDS the movements in '08 tobacco,
and aside from the finishing up of ware
house work there is almost summer
quietude about the packing points. The
market for old leaf has developed no
new features worthy of note since last
report. Goods are being sold in a mod
crate way all the time but large trans
actions. such as the packers like to see
are few and far between. Prices would
be reasonable enough if customers were
forthcoming.
The weather of late has been too cool
for rapid growth of the plant beds and
yet they are reported to be making
progress and on the whole are looking
fairly well. Some growers assert their
plants are as forward as the average
season, and everywhere there seems to
be an abundance of plants, though
small. General showers fell on We'd
nesday and if followed by warm wealth
er the plant beds will respond quickly.
Growers are now SO well along with
their other farm work as to give some
attention to preparing their tobacco
fields.
The shipments out Of storage reach
695 cases and cars of bundles from
this market to all points for the week.
Three car loads were also received
since last report

NEW YORK, May %, 1909.
The leaf market is not quite as SOM
nolent as general appearances indicate.
For two transactions took place which
are truly record breaking for the busi-
ness of the year. One of these trans
actions was sale of 700 cases of Con-
necticut broadleaf. Coming on top of
the sale of 300 cases reported last week
in this place, it may be taken as sign
that the Connecticut broadleaf will have
a boom of it's own this year. The more
so, when the fact is mentioned that the
largest cigar manufacturing concern in
the country has contracted for all the
light wrappers or Connecticut broadleaf
in every packingit could lay it's hands
on. 1t would, therefore, appear that
our domestic wrapper leaf when it has.
the merits to recommend itself, finds
also remunerative votaries among our
cigar manufacturers. And that some
of our largest cigar manufacturing con-
Germs are turning their attention this
year to the Connecticut sbroadleaf can
not fail to arouse Veritable boom for
that type. For years past the Connec-
ticut broadleaf was considered to be a
kind of speciality patronized chiefly by
SOlIlC VI CllO SIIldllCI dIlll llllQUlC-ClCOO
factories which had built up a trade of
their own for a seed and Havana cigar,
wrapped with the broadleaf of the Con-
necticut valley. But as some of the
largest cigar manufacturing concerns
of the country are now banking on the
same type of cigar, it is very likely
that the Connecticut broadleaf will be
come the fashion and the rage for the
cigar industry at large. And if SO prices
are sure to soar skywards, as there is
but limited quantity of broadleaf
raised The other transaction was
sale of 800 cases Of 1906 thinner Span
ish. This is another type whose future
bespeaks this year an advance both in
activity and in price. In spite of the
general cast-down feeling the immedi
ate prospects of the market are of the
brightest. For the progress of our ci-
gar industry, though slow, is steady.
The Internal Revenue stamp returns
for the month of April, published first
in this issue, show an increase in the
cigar industry's output of eight millions
and half. The record of the increase
has been unbroken since the beginning
of the current year. Though these in
creases are not phenomenal they show
a steady recuperation of the cigar in
dustry, and this unbroken upward trend
is indicative of a rapid advancement in
the fall season. ournal

The same conditions prevailed last
week in the local leaf tobacco market
and among local ciger manufacturers as
existed the week before, excepting that
among some of the larger manufactur
ers better business is reported. That
the large manufacturers should find
trade, when the smaller ones can find
so little, is probably due to the travel
ing representatives who are literally
securing the country for business. The
big manufacturers have their own
stocks of old leaf in hand, so their bet-
ter trade brings no business, to the local
packers, who are compelled to depend
these days for what business they have
entirely on the local manufacturers.
Some of the earliest cut bulk-sweated
tobacco is about ready for the market,
if any market can be found. The pack
ers are curious, to put it mildly, as to
the prices it will bring.

New YoRK. May 10. 1909.

Very little business is reported in the
local market in domestic tobaccos. A
hand-to-mouth business in extremely
limited quantities is reported, rejecting
in a measure the dullness of the cigar
manufacturers. Reports from the
growing sections are to the effect that
the farmers are making good progress
with their plant beds.
Sumatra Business in Sumatra is
rather quiet, and with the exception of
deals for new goods, in which Boston,
Philadelphia and Detroit manufacturing
firms figure in, nothing worthy of note
has been reported.

Tobacco plants are reported to be

ten days, by the first of June, it is pre-
dicted that tobacco planting will begin.

 Tt is impossible to say just what the tangible results have been as to the fire insurance rates. As we have said the rates would certainly have increas- ed and a large saving at this point can be credited to the improvements. The tendency all along the line has been towards the reducing of specifically rated risks, where the conditions per mitted and in January, 1908, the rate on one and two family frame houses was reduced from s7.50 to $500 per M, term rate, a decrease of 20 per cent.

 Tt is of course impossible to arrive at to just what this decrease amounts, but it is estimated at from $40,000 to $50, coo per annum in premiums in actual reductions.
 Tt is certain that the increase of rates which would have taken effect had not the conditions been bettered would have at least the amount of reduction and we are conservative and safe in asserting that the improve ments ffected during the past four years have resulted in a saving of at least SS00O0 in premiums for. the tax payers of Bridgeport

A Horse On Henry Lewis.

Henry Lewis, an elderly Irishman
who has been in the employ Of Col. |.
V. johnson, near Shepherdstown, for
the past year, is in a peck of trouble
in H4gerstown. Lewis came here
about year ago, having been sent
from New York by the Christian Her
aid employment agency. He was
sort of man. of-sll- work at Col. john
sons, and was steady and energetic
and was a most willing employee,
He was very bright in many respects,
but was bit eccentric. He had ex.
cellent recommendations and behaved
himself so well that it was great sur
prise the first OF the week when word
came that be vas in jail in Hagers-
town. It is alleged that under the
name ofJoan Roberts be used scheme
by which be pretended to conduct a
lottery or CHANGING contest, in which
a horse was the prize. After getting
persons to take chances, he would IN
a few weeks send letter stating that
they had won the horse and that II
would be forwarded upon receipt of
$40 to cover the shipping expenses.
1t ls said that no horse WAS ever sent ,
and complaint being made to the pos
tai authorities, his arrest followed.
He was taken before U. S. Commits
sloner Hagner, who held him fol- the
federal grand jury, which convenes in
Martlnsburg next May, his bail being
fixed at $3.50. he was most detected
ly unhappy when he was locked up
in a cell.
1t ls said that he put up q mighty
clever letter. The particular eplstle
that got him into trouble was one he
had written to New York man, in
which he had informed him that he
had won a fine Percheron horse that
could travel at 2.35 gait, and the
drawing was conducted by the Con-
vent o. Notre Dame at Hagerstown.
Upon receipt OF the 500 he agreed 10
pay all expenses Of shipping the horse.
Lewis has been earnestly beseech-
ing his acquaintance here to help
him out of the hole, declaring that it
is the first time he was ever in any
trouble OF this sort.
