NEW YORK. july 13. 1910.

So far as sales are concerned, there
is nothing new to report in the domes-
tic market this week Business has
been quiet, even for July, which has
always been regarded as poor month
in the leaf trade. Disquiting news
comes from Wisconsin, where the
drouth has interfered with the setting
out of the new crop.
Sumatra. With the Spring inscrip-
tions at an end and only about 1900
bales taken by the American houses,
the Sumatra situation has reached a
point from which calculation can be
made as to this years wrapper possi-
bilities. Not more than 1900 to 5000
bales are to be expected from the Fall
inscriptions if the history of previous
years counts for anything. This would
give at the outside $4,000 bales for the
entire year, to which must be added
perhaps $500 bales of old tobacco, in
Guiding that bought in Amsterdam af-
ter the character of the new offerings
became known, and also some that was
in the hands of local importers. While
this does not indicate an absolute short
age of Sumatra, still the supply is sew
eral thousand bales under the average,
and even granting that there will be
enough to go around, there is certainly
an assurance of continued high prices,
and there will be much difficulty in get
ting suitable wrappers. s.-Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EOOEh1ON, WIS, Qly IL, 1J1U.
Local showers have again covered
many of the tobacco growing sections
since our last report, affording some
relief from the long continued dry
weather, but the great need every
where is for more moisture to promote
the normal growth of the tobacco fields.
Until we are favored with more gen.
eral rains the prospects for the crop
are hanging in the balance. The acre
age can no longer be increased and in
terest from now on must center on the
making of what is now in the fields.
There is but little news to write of
concerning the cured leaf market. The
following bundle crops of '09 were re-
Gently purchased by E. c. Tallard for
the account of Rose & Wobbe, at prices
mostly within the seven cent mark
Chas. Mccarthy, acres; Peter Daniel
son, acres; G. Buckley, Z acres; Lewis
Larson, z acres; HI. Bekke, 5 acres;
Frank RAIDER, acres. A 32cs crop of
'06 was sold by Jesse Martin to Schus-
ter of Milwaukee. Business among
packers partakes of the same dullness
frequently mentioned in this column.
A. Jenson & Sons purchased SECS lot
of '07 and '08 goods.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases from this market to all points
for the week past.

sorry for the poor tobacco plants. We
might get along if the hard, drying
winds would let us alone.
In conversation with one of my
neighbors, who, by the way, has late
set tobacco, he made this remark: .'The
early set is about used up, and, by
goodness, the late set will be in very
few days unless we have rain Now
the early set will of course be benefit
ed by good hard rain, but not to such
an extent as the later set plants. The
dry, hot weather may stop the growth,
but good heavy rain will start them
up and if all all conditions suitable to a
good crop have been complied with the
future of the late set is more encourag-
ing than the early set which has come
to the budding state. The fusion of
the low topped plant has been set and
it cannot change its form like the plant
whose growth has been stunted by the
dry spell.
So with the present outlook | do not
predict an abundance of cash money
next winter. If the plant has been
materially damaged by dry weather, it
will be miracle to see it cure into
nice, fine, elastic leaf. Unless we can
show such leaf we cannot expect large
prices. / wish it were otherwise but
do not predict such conditions. And /
find that this dry, hot weather has been
common from the Rockies to the At
lantic CultivatOr.

LANCASTER, Pa, July II, 1910.
That this is the dull summer season
in the local tobacco trade is made evil
dent by the number of leaf dealers who
are off on their vacations. Their Of
fees are left in charge of their fore
men, who have not enough trade on
hand to keep them awake, unless they
give their attention to the new pack
ing. AS to the 1909 goods, there is
nothing to say about them except that
they are getting along nicely, going
through the sweat in a satisfactory
way.
The new crop has been growing under
favorable conditions and nothing fur
ther can be said regarding it except
that it is doing finely AS far as the
outlook goes, it is all that could be de-
sired of it.
The cigar trade seems to be moving
along on the lines it has been running
on lately, which is to say it is fairly
satisfactory. New Era.

From Manila, P. l., comes the report
that an American syndicate is buying
tobacco estates in Sumatra and in hin
dano, the southern island of the Philip
pine group, the climate and soil of
which are claimed 20 be analogous to
the finest Sumatra tobacco land. The
report mentions specifically the sale of
one Deli estate for $50, 900 guilders to
this syndicate, which, according to
Dutch consular advices, is Incorporated

guilders.

What can we say of tobacco these
dry, hot days except to tell OF the
struggle it is passing through with the
thermometer UP in the Cos, and little
rain To tell the truth, much OF the
early set is not to be heavy or even
tolerable, for when tobacco buds out IN
such dry time there is nothing to say.
On some of the moist lands the crop
may be normal, but not so large as to
be talked about. Everyone is sore and

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Secretary E. M Calkins of the Wis
consin Tobacco Growers and Dealers
association has summarized reports
from nearly all the growing sections of
the state regarding the condition of the
tobacco crop and his findings are given
as follows:
Not since Wisconsin became factor
in the production of cigar tobacco has
the outlook for crop been more dis
couraging than at present. While it is
generally known that drouth has pre-
vailed over the entire state, since the
middle of May in some localities, the
real seriousness of the situation for the
tobacco grower has not been appre-
ciated. In response to some sixty let
ters of inquiry to township secretaries
located in various counties where to-
bacco is grown, the replies received up
to July 14th indicate that in the section
west of the Wisconsin river the drouth
has been most severe and that there
will be a reduction in the acreage
planted of at least Is per cent. Some
correspondents put the acreage at only
10 per cent of the year 1909, with from
rs to 33 per cent of the plants missing.
Reports from Dane and Rock counties,
while not so bad, are far from encour-
aging; even here the reduction in acre
age is from 80 to so per cent, and
poor stand, as practically no re-
setting has been done. There have
been few light local showers since
some of these reports came in, but
nothing to materially change the pros
poets which point to about 25 per cent
of a normal crop for 1910.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-07-22

From the best information which the
writer has been able to obtain we are
inclined to take more cheerful view
Of the situation. We are confident that
sufficient acreage has been planted in
the state to secure at least SO per
cent crop under normal conditions from
this time on. Dane county alone pro-
duces close to one-third the crop of the
state and it is believed that at least 80
percent of the intended acreage is out.
The month of August makes the tobac-
co crop of the state and under favor
able conditions there is yet chance
for short though maybe fairly good
crop. 1t is too early to say what will
happen the returns are not yet all in.

a Grewsome Cast

In the museum of Algiers there is
one object which is unique in the
worlds list of curiosities. 1t is plaster
cast of the martyr Geronimo in the
agony of death. The Algerians put
Geronimo alive into a soft mass of con-
crete, which presently hardened into a
block and was built into a tort.
This was in 1869 and about forty years
later a Spanish writer described the
event and told exactly how that partic-
ular block could be located. The fort
stood for nearly 800 years. Then in 1863
It was torn down, the block was identi-
fled and broken open and an almost
perfect mold of the dead martyr was
found within.
They filled the mold with plaster and
the result, a wonderful cast, lies there
in the museum today, face down as he
died. hands and feet bound and strain
ing, head twisted to one side in the SUI
preme torture of that terrible martyr
dom.
at is a grewsome, fascinating thing"
writes Albert Bigelow Paine in Outing,
land you go back to look at it more
than once and you slip out between
times for breath of fresh air. If 1 lived
in Algiers and at any time should
sprout a little bud of discomfort with
the present state Of affairs-a little
sympathy with the subjugated popula-
toni would go and take a look at
Geronimo and forthwith all the discon-
tent and the sympathy would pass
away and 1 would come out gloating in
the fact that France can crack the
whip and that we of the west can ride
them down"

Proud of His Faith.

1t is most cOnSoling and refreshing to
hear or read of a prominent Catholic
layman being proud of his faith. Coun-
cillor Marx of Dusseldorf, at the Eu-
charistic congress at Cologne, made the
following. edifying remarks;
LAS Rudolph of Hapsburg was proud
to show himself before his people as
the servant of the King of Kings in the
Holy Eucharist, so let us all, civil Off
Gals with our badges of office, soldiers
and officers in their uniforms, men Of
every rank and class, consider it to be
the highest honor to be allowed to ap-
pear in every public manifestation of
honor paid to God and Savior. Away
with mere human aspect. Let us allow
no one to show dishonor to the great
mystery of our faith. Let us take care
that no one is allowed To- speak disre-
spectfully of it without instant protest.
Let us cast aside newspapers that speak
lightly of 1t, and refuse to remain even
in any social circle where there is a
whisper Of dishonor of Our Lord. Let
us be men, True-hearted, brave, Cath
Ollie men, Let us show we have strength
of character in this age of weak charac-
tiers and lack of all character! Let us
not forget the day our bishops hand
marked our foreheads with the sign of
the cross and babe us be soldiers of
Christi Let us profess with heart and
lips. with firm, unfailing faith, I'M

Abuse of Wealth.

(From a lecture on Religion and
Good Government" by Max Pam at
Notre Dame university
Nobody can object to wealth wisely
used. It's beneficent influences, it's
power for the development of a coun-
try, it's means for enriching the masses
through a wise distribution-all make
it the one great essential for the worlds
progress. The abuse of wealth.
either in its use or in its display, will
work UNNECESSARILY greater injury to
a country and its people than the proper
use of it can benefit them. This abuse
may be classified under two heads:
First, the direct improper use of it in
the oppression of others; it's unjust &C
erection at the expense of others; it's
use for corrupting individuals or Of
ficials and fostering licentious habits
and practices.
Another abuse which, in my
Judgment is as hurtful as, if not more
so than those already mentioned, is that
display of wealth, vulgar and demon
strative, which so largely contributes to
the unhappiness of the common peo-
pie. and so much excites the envy and
jealousy of less fortunate persons.
Human nature at best is weak, prone
to error, readily led and is most easily
influenced by that which appeals to the
indulgence of the senses. Therefore,
when person of great wealth vulearly
and lavishly displays it he is making a
bid for the envy of those who are less
fortunate.
Again, in a country where so large
proportion of the populace is composed
of people earning their bread by toll,
whether of brain or of Drawn, and
where, each feels perhaps that, if given
might have been his reward, to flaunt
in the faces of those honest though
less fortunate people the vulgar display
of luxury and ease creates a state of
bitterness and discomfort and 'sows the
seed of unhappiness. When the great
majority of the people in any commun-
ity are unhappy, its impress upon the
whole is indelible; and where the peo-
pie are unhappy, the nation is unhappy.

Worlds Hlahest Bridge.

The highest bridge in the world is in
France and has been opened recently.
It is the Fades railway viaduct, which
is to carry the Paris main line be-
tween Montlucan and Clermont-Fe
rand over the Siouls gorge. The via
duct, which Is situated between ST.
Priest Sauret and Aneizes-St. Georges,
rises to a height of nearly 45O feet
journals state that it is some fifteen
feet higher than the Gokteek bridge,
in the Shan hill of Burma.
The new bridge is a continuous steel
girder structure and is supported on
two enormous rectangular piers of
masonry over 300 feet high, which in
turn rest on bases nearly seventy feet
high. The $4,000 cubic yards of ma
sonry upon which the bridge is sup
ported are founded on solid rock The
center span between the two piers is
40 feet long and is thanked by two
spans $50 feet in length. The canter
span was constructed in sections some
twenty to twenty-five feet long, which
were built out section by section from
each pier until the two arms met and
were joined.

ber 1901. and has cost 100000, was

Blessed Virgin.

That the Blessed Virgin is effectively
honored in India, even by those from
whom reverence for the Mother of Goo
might seem incongruOus, is evident
from an interesting account of an In
dian religious feast which Father
D'Souza contributes to The Good Work
OF the climax of the celebration, he
writes:
THE whole procession lasts two hours
and moves along pagan streets. The pa
gans are most respectful; they usually
have Nominations before their houses

ton to the NADIA (as they call the

Enemies.

Go straight on and don't mind them
If they get in your way walk around
regardless of their spite. A man who
has no enemies is seldom good for any
thing: he is made of that kind of ma

everyone has a hand in 1t. A sterling
character Is one who thinks for himself
and speaks what he thinks; he is al

as necessary to him as fresh air; they
keep him alive and active. Live down

to dispute, you do but as they desire

How Finger Nails Grow.

1t has been computed that the aver
age growth of the finger nail is 49,
of an inch per week, or little more
than an inch and half per year. The
growth, however, depends to a great
extent upon the rate of nutrition, and
during periods of sickness it is retard-
ed. 1t goes on faster in summer than
in winter, and differs for different fin
gers. being most rapid in the middle
finger, and slowest in the thumb. Ac-
cordtng to the rate of growth stated
the average time taken for each finger
nail to grow it's full length is about
four and a half months, and at this
rate a man of seventy would have re-
newed his nails 1S6 times. Taking the
length of each nail at half an inch
he would have grown seven feet nine
inches of nail on each finger. and on
all his fingers and thumbs an aggre
gate length of II feet inches.

Steel superseding Wood.

The substitution of steel for wood
goes steadily on. Beginning with
January 1, or therea bouts, the National
Lead company will pack its white lead
in steel kegs having decided to aban-
don the use of wooden kegs. This in
novation is made because the company
has concluded that steel kegs will have
many advantages over the wooden
kegs In the first place, the steel
package does not absorb the oil from
the lead as porous wooden packages
do, and there is, therefore, no drying
and caking of the lead around the
edges. making it possible to remove ev-
cry particle of white lead easily from
the steel keg. The new steel kegs also
will be much lighter, as we'll as being
stronger than the wooden ones, and
this will effect a saving in freight
charges. Taking up less room than
the wooden kegs, the new steel pack
age also will save storage space.
