National Congress Is Urged to Be-

PRESIDENT TAFT SENDS LETTER
Leaders from All the States ana
European Nations Voice Cry
to the World.

The second national peace congress
was opened formally In Chicago for n
three DAYS session. Orchestra Hail
was well filled with delegates. Robert
Treat Paine. OF Boston. president or
the American Peace Society. was in
the chair.
Addresses of welcome were made by
Governor Charles $. Deneen and May
or Fred A. Busse. of Chicago, The
Rev, A. Eugene Bartlett. chairman or
the reception committee. welcomed the
delegates 10 the work of the congress.
and told them OF the arrangements
that had been made for their comfort
and convenience.
In his address of welcome DR.. Bart
lett said: This congress must be
more than a spasmodic expression of
protest against war. and a resolution
that disarmament would be desirable.
1t should i~naugurate a still more ef-
feetive campaign of education OF the
people in the interests of permanent,
worldwide peace. The burdens Of

and in the end the verdict of war or
peace must rest with the rank and
file of the people"
President Taft in his letter applaud
ed the purpose of the conference and
said.
The United States has contributed
much 10 the cause of peace by assist
ing countries weak in respect to their
internal government so as TO strength

and ward as between nations and
countries, in my Judgment, helps along
the cause of international peace and
indicates progress in civilization. The
policy of the United States in avoid

cept those plainly inconsistent with
honor or its highest welfare has been
made so clear to the world as hardly

can only say that so far as my legiti-
mate influence extends while at the
head of this government it will al

OF peace. not only as between this
country aud other countries. but as
between our sister nations"
Exercises of many kinds were held
in the city Sunday as a preliminary
10 the opening session. Special peace
services were held in all of the
churches in the morning. In the aft
ernoon there was a labor demonstra'
ton and the Socialists held several
meetings. In the evening a big mass
meeting was held under the auspices
of the Sunday Evening Club. at which
Jacob Gould Schurman. president Of
Cornell. discussed taxation and war
President Schurman predicted thai

New England.

We had more rain last week and the
tobacco has again started to grow. The
center leaves looked very light green
and the plants showed that they were
putting the best foot forward. If
good crop comes out of what was shown
to us one week ago we ought to be
agreeably surprised to say the least.
Don't imagine that we have moisture
enough to carry through to maturity a
crop that has just come to topping, for
we have from 20 to 80 days or
more before the early tobacco will be
ready, for the harvest, and a longer
time before the late set will be ripe,
and / always notice that a good rain
did the crop about as much good the
last part of the season as at any time
in its growth This fear of drouth was
not felt by me alone, but was shared
by the growers of the whole Connecti-
cut valley, and / am told that the peo-
pie down the river had come to fear
defeat to the crop, had not the nelly
showers arrived. A few days imp We
ment works wonders in either direc ion
as we can plainly see for ourselvs s..
CultivatOr.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Aug. 6, 1909.
Weather conditions have been decid-
edly favorable during the week for the
rapid development of the new crop in
sections where the drouth has been
broken Frequent local storms have
covered good share of the southern
districts, but streaks of hail accom-
panied them that did much injury to
the forward fields in localities and ag-
gregating several hundred acres. So
much of the growing sections are yet
suffering from the long drouth that the
general outlook is not encouraging.
Since the storms some contracts for
the damaged crops have been closed at
from 8 to cents, showing that buyers
are willing to take chances on the crop
at filler prices. Topping of the most
forward fields has commenced.
There is but little news to report re-
garding the movement of cured leaf.
Some trading is yet going on from first
hands, both in '07 and '08 goods, for
which prices seem to be well maintain
ed. With packers trade continues in
small lots to meet the needs of manu-
facturers largely. The rumor is cur
rent that deal embracing the Equity
holdings of 'O7 to New York concern
is under consideration, which, if closed,
will be the most important transaction
for months
The shipments out of storage reach
1856 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

New YORK, July 81, 1909

NEW I 4ORk, July 81, lSUS.
Market conditions are of midsummer
dullness. The scouts of the western
trade have been peeping into our mar
ket, but are hieing themselves for the
present in the New England tobacco
fields, where they are surveying local
market conditions. They will find no
bargains there or here. The bargain
time is passed and likely to stay passed
till another financial or commercial up
heaval upsets the country AS pointed
out first and repeatedly since in this
place, the Connecticut broadleaf seems
to have the run of fashion this year in
the domestic wrapper line. And being
the fashion means that everybody is
likely to banker after it, to want it,
good, bad or Indifferent, and to day for
