NEW YORK. Feb. Is, 1910.

News comes from Lancaster that the
farmers who have been holding out for
ten cents and better for their 1909
goods are now offering them at nine
cents and less, and it is expected that
some big transactions will be reported
soon. It has been known all along that
the quality of the tobacco produced
there this year has not been such as to
Justify the prices that have been paid
in the past few years, and for awhile
there was deadlock between the farm
ers and buyers because the latter were
unwilling to give anything like what
the farmers demanded. A few pur-
chases were made at high prices, but
the packers and large manufacturers.

the growers finally awoke to the fact
that they can get high prices only when

Market conditions do not seem to
have improved the past week. Although
some houses report a satisfactory busi-
ness, in the market at large business
was pronounced as being dull. There
was some demand for Wisconsin, for
Zimmer's and other fancy types of filler
leaf, but there was no vim in the trans
actions. Sumatra is moving along
steadily but in limited quantities. Nor
has the activity in Havana leaf con-
tinued as brisk as it was till the COM
mencement of the new year. Z
The retail situation showed well
come improvement, last week. In the
midtown section business took on quite
a brisk appearance and in the financial
district cigar sales lifted appreciably. =

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Feb. Is, 1910

EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. 25, 1910.
Market conditions continue the same
as for several weeks past. The bulk
of the buying that is being done is of
the cheaper grades, where growers are
willing to accept figures that will per-
NIT of filling of export or strippers'
orders. Rarely do prices reach the fig
ures paid in the early buying. A few
recent sales are:
Albert Meyer, Ga at 7&2c.
Fred LaPlant, ga at 7&2c.
Bunting & Sherwood, Ga at 7&1c.
r VIM. Behnke, ga at 7&2c.
Link Thompson, ga at 6&1c.
+ Receiving of early purchases is being
crowded along as fast as packing facil-
tiles warrant, but will continue cou-
pie of months yet, and warehouse work
is carried forward as rapidly as the
help situation at the packing points
will permit.
The market for old leaf develops only
moderate demand for most grades.
Sales are confined mostly for small lots
to meet manufacturers present needs.
The sale of Goes of '07 by Halvorson &
Bitters to local packer is reported.
Also 60Ocs lot of 'O7 .'B's" by large
packer to New York house. So much
of the trading is of the cheaper grades
that furnish SO small margins that they
are seldom reported.
The shipments out of storage reach
7O0cs and 5 cars of bundles. Since last
report 45 cars have been received from
outside points for warehouse handling
in this market.

The biggest tobacco day here of the
present season was Wednesday. Fully
thirty farmers with teams pulling large
loads of leaf tobacco in bundles drove
into town about 10 o'clock and until
o'clock they kept pouring into the city.
Fully six carloads of tobacco were re-
ceived by tobacco buyers, among whom
were Charles M. Hintze and j. Camp
bell of Stoughton, and Messrs. Went
worth, Ellingson, Earle and Tallard OF
Edgerton.
The American Cigar Co. this week
received crop of s acres from G. w.
Felland, residing about five miles east
of the city, for which the seller re-
ceived a check for $500. 80.
Louis johnson, who lives about three
miles west of the city, sold to the com
pany crop of IL acres for which he
received check amounting to $1825.20

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

1t has been decided by the board of
directors to move the headquarters of
the Wisconsin Union of the American
Society of Equity from Madison to Eau
Claire to be nearer the center of MEM
bership in this state. At the same time
it was decided to move to Tobacco
Growers association, an organization
of Equity society members, from Mad
ison to Stoughton. The 1907 crop was
packed at IL warehouses in the state
under Equity management, and over
s, 900 cases were put up, but slow sales
and unsatisfactory returns caused the
state society to turn the tobacco busi-
ness over to separate management
and the business was concentrated at
four warehouses in 1908. The present
crop will doubtless be packed at Tay-
lor, London, Gays Mills, Westby and
Stoughton, but in less quantities than
heretofore. The present Equity society
has apparently dropped the tobacco de-
partment, and cooperative marketing
of this product will hereafter be done
by stock companies composed of farm
ers in localities in which they operate.
This has already been accomplished at
Gays Mills and London, and the writer
has every reason to believe that this
method will prove much more satisfac-
tory than being tied to any state or
ganization, as it's members will be IN
close touch with it's management and
have a larger voice in deciding it's pol
icy. 1t will give growers facilities for
holding their crops if they choose and
still retain their privilege to market it
at whatever price they think best and
whenever an opportunity arrives. They
are not compelled to surrender their
title to their property as under Equity
management, which was the great OBJ
stacle to success of that method of
marketing tobacco.

ANOTHER EXPERT EXAMINES THE
KEYSTONE MINE AT MT. GRANT

apparent bottom of the shaft was Is feet
below, but another bulkhead covered
again with feet of dirt, was found here.
When this was torn out it was found
that the shaft had attained total depth
of Us feet
The significance of these bulkheads
lies in the fact that below them there is
little or no ore in the shaft. 1t is also
said that they were put in so insecurely
that when they had rotted little they
would have not held up the weight of
single man.
After the shaft had been examined
one of the tunnels was looked into. At
the face was an upraise of 10 feet and
this was in good-looking ore little
work from the tunnel level showed
bulkhead here also and when it was re-
moved, it showed that the drift had
run on the vein many feet further but
there was no quantity of pay ore beyond
the bulkhead.
Mr. Huston was apparently well inn
pressed with the surface showing and
took away DO samples for assay. 1t is
said he obtained some paintings indicat-
ing values of $40 per ton. What the
average of his samples will be is, of
course, problematical. What action will
be taken on his report is equally prob
lemetical; but it is evident that the
story of the Keystone has not been fully
told.

COPPER BELT NEWS.
Twenty-Five Cars of Steel Rails Are
on the Way.

Work on the extension of the Copper
Belt Railroad from Mason to Smithvale
will soon be proceeding merrily.
Eleven cars of steel rails were shipped
from the mill on the 18th of this month,
nine cars OH the 10Th and FIVE cars on
the 10th. There are nearly enough ties
now piled up at the present terminus of
the road to take the road to Smithvale,
fourteen miles south of Mason. The
balance of the ties are at Laughton's
station near Reno and can be shipped i'll
here on short notice.
When the rails arrive, which will be
in few days now, track-laying can
proceed very rapidly. The boarding
house and bunk house will be on wheels
and follow up the men as they lay the
rails.
The spur track to the smelter is all
completed with the exception of that i'll
the smelter yards. This is delayed
awaiting final instructions from the
smelter people.
Mr.. Wallace, engineer of construction
for the smelter, and the superintendent
of the Hughes Construction Company
which has the contract for building the
same, are now at Wabuska.
The household goods of Jules Labar-
the, the expert who is general manager
of the smelter enterprise, are now in
Wabuska. but his house up the river will
not be ready for a month.

The final curtain has not been rung
down on the Keystone mine deal, as has
has been thought, but another chapter
is to be written.
1t will be remembered that this prop
erty, which is in the Mt. Grant district,
was sold some six months ago to Boston
parties and after many surface improve
ments, including a good-sized mill,
were nearly completed under the direc-
ton of Superintendent Colburn, it was
discovered that the values in the ore
would not pay. The property was
closed down and the improvements sold
or returned to the manufacturers.
Last week it was reported that H. l..
Huston, mining engineer from Sonora,
Calf, went up to the mine to make
another examination and report. 1t was
first said that he represented New York
parties who expected to find a running
mine. Later information is to the effect
that he represented the Boston owners
He returned Thursday and the following
is the report that is being circulated re-
gardng what his examination disclosed.
There is shaft on the Keystone on
which work had apparently ceased when
a depth of about 40 feet had been at
tanned. Acting on hints received, it is
said that Mr.. Huston dug down little
and found that the shaft had been bulk
headed and then covered up with 3 feet
of dirt.

AN ELECTION CANARD.
The Eureka County Bank Holds No
Note of Stickney's.

1t has been stated during the cam
paign that the Eureka County Bank,
which failed some months ago, held a
note of s., 600 against +. o. Stickney,
of Yerington, and that the same was un-
collectible. There is no truth i'll the
assertion. A man of the same name
was connected with the Smiths i'll the
bank at Rhyolite, but it is not f. O..

Mason Valley.

Mr.. /. A. STRosNIDER,

Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 5th in
stant at hand, in which you say there is
story i'll circulation around Yerington
that when the Eureka County Bank
closed its doors, it held note of 81, 00C
against a man in Yerington by the
name of f. o. Stickney.
In answer, | will state that this
bank held no such note at the time
its doors were closed, nor has it held
any claim since l took charge of the
bank on the Sth of April last, against
any one by the name of f. o. Stickney
to anv amount whatever.
In justice to Mr.. Stickney, YOU are al
liberty to make this public. With kind
regards, l remain very truly yours,
