The growing tobacco looks fine, and
continues to develop in a most sat
isfactory way. It has gone beyond the
period when it is in danger from the
cut-worm, and no other enemy has yet
appeared.
There has been little doing recently
in the leaf trade, not one sale of i'm
portance being reported.
The business has been of a jobbing
character, and limited to local cigar
manufacturers. The stock of leaf held
by the latter being about exhausted,
they are now compelled to go to the
packer. The packers say there will be
no more than the usual amount of black
rot among the 1908 tobacco, and outside
of this the tobacco is going through the
sweat finely.
The local cigar industry appears to
be holding its own on the lines to which
it struggled after so many months of
depression, but the trade is rot brisk
by any means, in spite of the Fact that
some factories have put on more hands
and extended working time. e.-New Era.

The dog days seem to have come
upon us, so far as movement in the do
mestic leaf market is concerned. Ad-
vices from number of Western houses
indicate that about the middle of Aug
ust many leaf dealers will visit the
market, and the trade hopes that as
soon as the samples of the new tobacco
are ready for inspection a better state
of affairs will prevail. The tone of the
market continues good, the leaf dealers
feeling sure that the manufacturers
will have to begin to stock up before
long, and the cigar trade is expected to
pick up as soon as the matter of taxa
tion has been settled one way or the
other. The only type that has had es-
pecial inquiry during the week has been
Connecticut Broad leaf.
Sumatra On the 10th inst. the last
inscription of the season will be held IN
Amsterdam. Knowing, therefore, that
the bulk of the tobacco that will come
to America has already been taken, the
manufacturers have shown more dis
position to look at the offerings, and a
business of considerable volume has
been done. Less than 1000 bales were
taken at last weeks sale. Leaf.

Durings the week past the wind has
been blowing almost ccnstautly, and
some of the time very hard, so the land
has become very dry and all crops are
in need of water, and if we do not get
it before long everything must suffer,
and it will not take long before the dry
weather will begin to tell upon all the
hoed crops. The crop in spite of the
dry weather has made good growth
There is beginning to be some call
for the last years crops and there have
been sales, not at top notch prices, or
good prices even, but straws show the
direction of the wind, it is said. But /
should like little less wind and little
better prices than those that have been
reported the past week. But perhaps
after all, with what the country has
passed through with the tariff tinker
ing and the late financial crisis. we
might say that the sale prices are ahout
all that we could expect. We f.p. as
the season advances we may see to. ac-

The movement to take over the rem
nants of the '07 and '08 crops remain
ing in growers hands quietly proceeds,
when they can be secured at about for
mer quotations and in the aggregate
considerable has been lifted of late.
The market for old goods begins to
take on some signs of improvement.
Packers report a better inquiry for
samples and transactions amounting to
at least 800 cases of '06 has taken
place during the week, aside from the
usual small trading on manufacturers
orders, which is continually going on.
The unfortunate part of this movement
is that prices pay little or no profit to
the packers.
The month of July so far has not
brought the usual rainfall and the
greater part of the tobacco sections of
the state stand in need of moisture.
Up to this date, however, the new crop
has not materially suffered except in
the late set fields, but continuation of
the drouth begins to mean much in the
curtailment of the crop every day now.
The plants have such good, strong
roofing that if rains come soon a quick
recovery would follow.

NEW YORK, July II, 1909.
The usual midsummer dullness has
overtaken the market, and there has
been very little doing during the past
week. Sales are taking place, but man
ufacturers are purchasing on the hand
to-mouth plan, and consequently trans
actions that would be commonplace
during buster season are now consid-
cred quite a coup.
Yesterday was the last summer Sum
atra inscription, and the importers were
jubilant thereat.
Seed and Havana factories are fairly
busy now, considering the fact that
these are the dog days when any little
lift counts. For the rest, manufactur.
ers are quiet but expectant of a busy
fall. The trade is greatly concerned
over the feared adoption of the gradu
ated Internal Revenue tax scheme
which looms up at a time when compe
tition for business has cut away mar

Everything considered the prospects
for good tobacco crop are as bright
as they have been for term of years
at this time of the season. While it is
true that the recent spell of torrid
weather put the late planting out OF
commission and necessitated replanting,
the bulk of the crop is coming forward
with leaps and bounds. What is true
of tobacco is, as a rule, the case of the
small grains - everything looks fine.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The critical time for the making of
the new tobacco crop comes now in the
few next succeeding weeks, when SC
much depends upon the weather condi-
tions prevailing. Timely rains, without
accompanying heavy storms or hail,
and the absence of long continued
drouth are most needed now to bring
about satisfactory crop. Already a
good portion of the tobacco growing
sections of the state are suffering from
drouth now running into third week.
Rains must come soon or an uneven
crop is bound to follow. The earlier
set fields, however, are holding up well
under the trying conditions and making
some progress.
The Reporter having the ear of al
most the entire leaf trade, good share
of the larger manufacturers and the to-
bacco growers as well, it is in posi-
ton to carry the news to large con-
stituency. The column of free an
nouncements brings those who have
tobacco to sell in touch with those who
job orprepare it for consumption. You

pense. Why not take advantage OF
the opportunity? See what is offered
this week. Send in your announce
ments and join the procession. Pub
licity can do good even in the tobacco
trade.
In these days manufacturers of all
kinds are mainly interested in selling
all the goods they can, and in trying to
get the highest possible price for them.
This law, we believe, has no excep-
tions. 1t is a national rule OF trade,
and so long as it can be proftably car
.ried out all goes well. But sometimes
conditions arise that put different
complexion on affairs, and, according
to information our government has re-
ceived from abroad during year or
two, and also from private advices re-
ceived from individuals and firms, 1T IS
likely that our tobacco exports during
the next few years will suffer consider
able diminution. We allude particu-
larly to the heavy shipping tobaccos,
such as are grown in Kentucky, Vir-
ginia and Maryland. Our government
feels some anxiety about the attempt
going on all over the country to force
up the prices of tobacco by other than
natural causes. It fears that foreign
buyers will regard with disfavor fur
ther attempts in this country to arti-
ficially put up prices. 1t must be borne
in mind that the United States grows
far more tobacco than it consumes, and
depends upon foreign demand to take
up the rest. In fact, nearly one-half
our entire crop is sold to and consumed
by foreign nations. From this it will
be seen that our tobacco exports are
something that should be encouraged in
every possible way If other countries
undersell us then our own crops will be
left on our hands to a very considerable
extent, and with the result that prices
at home must decline very appreciably.
It is true that a majority OF our exports
are the heavy tobaccos of Kentucky,
Maryland and Virginia, but how do we
know that in their foreign experiments
these European countries may not de-
velop grade of cigar tobacco that will
rival our own in quality, and that can
be produced at a lower price?-Lancas-

Under the pretense of mulctlng the
Trust" Congress in increasing the to-
bacco taxes will simply lay an embargo
on one of the few and the greatest
comfort left to the poor man. The no
tion of tobacco being an article of lux
ury has long been exploded. 1t stands
next in rank to the commodities of alb
solute necessity, such as food and raj
ment. 1t has become comfort and
solace to the broad masses of the peo-
pie. The toiling man coming home
from his days hard work either on the
scaffold or furnace, in factory or mill,
will as soon as he has finished with his
evening mail, indulge in whiff from
his pipe. ENJOYING in that indulgence
the restful comfort for the days waste
of his brawny muscle. To the tOillng
man the pipe represents the ideal OF
comfortable relax. For the past few
years the broad masses of our people
have had, anyhow, the hardest struggle
to make both ends meet. In spite OF
the panic which curtailed incomes, cut
wages and left numbers of people IN all
walks of life without employment, food
stuffs have gone up in price unknown
before and the expenses of the general
mode of living have proportionately IN
creased. A wise and provident govern
ment, really popular government,
that is a government led and conducted
by men who have the welfare of the
people at heart and who are not looking
out only for the spoils to perpetuate
themselves in power, would take care
that under such circumstances at least
the people should not be soaked with
more and more taxes on the few COM
forts left them. But not so. The dema-
gogues of Congress assuming the
EsTrust' cry to be popular issue they
presume to strike at the Trust while
they actually hurt the poor man OF
consumer. Those legislators of ours
have intelligence enough to know that
it is not the Trust" who will pay the
additional taxes. The Trust as
manufacturer may advance the addi-
tional tax to the government, but 1t
will reimburse itself from the consumer
and it is the consumer, that is the
workman, the student, the professional
men who smoke pipe or cigarette,
who will have to pay the increased tax.
The nine million dollars which the in
creases In the tobacco taxes as COM
puted will yield, will not be taken out
of the exchecauer of the Trust, as
our loud-mouthed Senatorial dema-
gogues have so unscrupulously and
lvingly proclaimed, but from the pock-
cts of the very people who should de-
serve the greatest consideration on the
part of Congress. IL. 5. Tob. journal.

THROUGH BEAUTIFUL
COTE CELEE.
The Farmers Actively Preparing Their
Lands and Farming Operations
Well Under Way.
FIELD AGENT PERRIN ADDRESS,
ES FARMERS MEETING AT
MILTON.
Verot SchooI-MiIton School-Pump-
ing Station-CanaI Company Con-
sidering Building Sugar
Refinery.

A trip over the beautiful Cote Gelee
hills last Friday revealed the fact that
these enterprising and progressive
farmers have taken full advantage of
the favorable conditions to advance
farming operations. nearly all the
fields showed excellent preparation
and cultivation. The fine mellow con-
dition of the soil indicated frequent
and thorough cultivation and the evil
dent attention given to drainage eve
rywhere proves that the people have
at last realized the absolute necessity
of this all-important feature in success
full farming. Another agreeable thing
very noticeable all along the public
road, was the destruction and clear
ing away of the many unsightly he'd
ges that occupy so much valuable
land, harbor so many vernin, and in
tefere SO materially with the drainage
of fields as we'll as roads. 1t was a
pleasant sight to see in many places
the land plowed up to the very road
side, with bitches and canals all clear
ed for the passage of food water.
Nearly ali of the farmers have finish
ed plOwing their lands and are sowing
the last of their corn. In one or two
instances a small quantity of cotton
had been planted. but this crop will
not be generally sown until the latter
part of March or the first of April.
The acreage, however, this year has
been greatly reduced and that of corn
sugar cane and other crops cores
pOndingly increased. Improved varie-
ties of seed and intensive methods of
culture are the means by which the
farmers hope to circumvent the ravag-
es of the boil weevils that seem to
have survived the winter in great
numbers and have already appeared in
places on cotton sprouts from old
stalks The cane fields presented en-
couraging signs shaving and stubble
digging being under full headway and
in many places the plant already
shows good stand, marking the rows
| from end to end.
Along the way the Verrot school un
der Prof Valsin Benoit, assisted by
Misses o. Beadle and c. Dyer was Wis
tied and found well managed and dis
ciplined, with an enrolment of 95 pu
