Gather private secretary to Governor -elect John K. Tener. MT. Barrett waived hearing and was held for appearance at the December term of court The information charges that in a sermon. Ion or about the 24th of October. said W. L.

MRS. MAVERICK TO
 SPEAK HERE DEC.

Florence E. Maybrick, whose home was formerly in Mobile, will lecture In Birmingham December 1 on her Imprisonment and prison reform. She will speak under the auspices of the High school lyceum. Mrs. Maybrick was confined in an English prison for many years upon charge that was considered extremely serious by the British. Her experiences there are full of dramatic episodes and her. appear ance in Birmingham will create decided interest.
 Mrs Maybrick exerted more influence in trying to obtain her release than perhaps any other woman or man ever confined in any prison. Her champions were presidents, ex-presidents, men high in official life. and others. How ever. the rigidity of the English law was proof against every effort to se- cure her release.

Farmers in this vicinity are having a
real rest and an unusually good time.
The tobacco harvest being over and
with no tobacco in fit condition to take
down, it leaves them time to attend the
cattle shows all over. They can calcu-
late to NOW field of rowen today, and
while it is drying it gives them ample
time to attend one of the fairs, per-
haps two days of it. Some have fruit
to care for. A number have corn to
cut and stack, and nothing really to
drive them. During this time they
have leisure to talk of the new or i'm
proved farm implements, to talk to-
bacco and the sales that are reported
in the several towns, to discuss breeds
of tobacco as well as breeds of cattle.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Oct. IA, 1910.

GDGEhION, WIS, OcC.e IL, lJlU.
The sale of several large holdings of
cured leaf, with rumors of numerous
other smaller packings, is the chief
topic of the market this week. Recent
transactions in Wisconsin leaf involv-
ing a million dollars or more have put
new life into business that has been
dragging for the past three years.
Aside from the big sale put through by
the Rosenwald firm noted elsewhere,
A. Cohn & Co. have purchased the
packing of w. T. Jefferson at Sparta
of 1000 cases and Campbell & Peterson
of Orfordville with others, aggregating
1000 boxes of '09 Julius Marqusee is
also credited with having made large
purchases aggregating close to 5000
cases.
The furry in old goods has stimulated
some buying of the new crop again as
well as anything of cured leaf remain
ing in first hands for which former
prices are we'll maintained. The new
crop is now so we'll under contract that
the balance seems likely to be taken
over by steady and quiet methods. The
weather continues favorable to the
curing of shielded tobacco and no frosts
have yet come to kill vegetation even.
The shipments out of storage reach
400 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 1910.

NEW ORk, OcL. 8, 1911.
The market was quite in furry of
excitement this week over the reported
purchase of over 5000 cases of 1909
Wisconsin by an independent manufac-
turing concern from a Water Street
leaf packing house. The transaction in
itself was not only phenomenal and rec
ord breaking, but it also showed more
than anything else could how the wind
blows in the leaf market and went by
far to confirm the observations and
statements repeatedly made in this
place by the Uuited States Tobacco
Journal. For the past few months the
United States Tobacco Journal in al
most every one of it's issues has tried
to impress its readers with the scarcity
in view of desirable and available bind
er leaf in the progressive condition the
cigar industry is luckily finding itself.
What rariG strides this progress is
making is shown again in this issue by
our reports Of the September output in
the First. and Ninth Pennsylvania dis
tricts and in our metropolitan districts.
In the First Pennsylvania district the
increase in the output was over seven
millions and half and was the largest
in any September month, not even Sep
tember of the boom year 1906 excepted.
In the Ninth Pennsylvania the increase
in the output was over three millions
and the total output the largest since
September, 1907. And even in the Met
ropolitan districts where the output has
rather been on the decline, the Septem-
Der output shows an increase OF over
three millions. And if such progress
is shown in September, October is GER
tain to exceed it by far and the balance
of the year to pile up an output which
is likely to place 1910 into the ranks OF
the banner years of our cigar industry.
But all this progress OF our cigar indus
try means rapid and increased consump-
ton of cigar leaf. And the realization
of such state is being taken advan-
tage of first and foremost by the very
largest concerns who cannot place
themselves in the awkward position of
running short of stock and of hustling
about to get their supply piecemeal. To
furnish their distributors and their con-
sumers an even and uniform quality of
cigars the large factories are always
on the lookout to acquire the desirable
leaf in time and in plentiful quantities.

The record-breaking transaction in
1909 Wisconsin, reported in another col
umn in this issue, following upon the
large sales announced exclusively In
last weeks issue of the Leaf, are
bound to prove of the most vital inter-
est to every manufacturer in the coun-
try, and particularly to those whose
binder supply has not been safeguard
ed. The sentiment in the trade is that
they point to generally higher price
level. Over 5000 cases of Wisconsin
were taken from the market supply
this week, in addition to several thou
sand last week, and where transactions
are between packers, it must be re-
membered that an additional profit will
have to be paid by the manufacturers
into whose hands they finally fall. Late
advices of the crop raised this year in
Wisconsin do not give much ground for
hope of relief. Leaf.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. a, 1910.


Reports from over the county indi-
cate that the tobacco, now in the shed,
is doing nicely in the curing line, in
spite Of the gloomy predictions of the
packers, who were quite certain that a
great deal of pole-burn would follow
the hanging of the crop. There may
be some, but probably not enough to
cause any very general distress. No
body can tell yet, from the appearance
of the tobacco, what it will develop in
to, but from its splendid looks wnen
housed it is pretty safe to believe that
it will develop into goods that the
trade will be glad to have. Rumors
have been heard of crop here and
there selling for and 10 cents pound
but as the sellers and buyers names
are never mentioned, such rumors may
be set down as fakes" When selling
time comes the packer and grower will
get together on level ground and agree
upon prices that will reward the grow
er for his toll, as has always been done
in the past.
The packers report numerous lnqul-
ries being made for their 1909 goods,
but very few sales are being made and
at long intervals. The past week none
has been reported. These goods are
sweating very slowly, and they are not
nearly ready for the market.
The cigar industry continues to run
along on satisfactory Ines. That it is
so is evidenced by the large receipts
from cigars of this revenue district for
September. New Era.
