The intervening Of holiday, which
kept most people at home, and the ex-
tremely hot weather that prevailed,
have undoubtedly interfered with 5usi-
ness to some extent. Transactions
have been few, SO far as domestic leaf
is concerned, and in general the dealers
seem to have agreed that not much
business is to be looked for this month.
But firm in the knowledge that stocks
in the hands of most manufacturers are
small, and that the buying has been
done in a hand-to-mouth style, they be-
lieve that a good business is bound to
come this Fall. They are fortified in
this opinion by the fact that business
continues more than fair with the man
ufacturing trade, each month this year,
with one exception, seeing an increase
in cigar production over last year.
Sumatra. With but one more IN
scription to hear from, and with the
decreasing amount of tobacco suitable
for American use shown at each OF the
recent inscriptions, it becomes more
evident that the Tobacco Leafs predic-
ton of shortage in wrappers was JUS
tilted. Less than 1000 bales were tax
en- at last Fridays sale, making the
total purchases for America this year
about $1,000, against $4,000 for last

We have been favored with some of
the best of growing weather that We
have ever had, and all crops have re-
sponded. Tobacco has just spread
itself all over the ground. In a very
few days topping viii be necessary.
To all appearances the plants show
no signs of what is known as spindling.
But if we had little rain the crop
would be helped, for there is always
danger of the spindling when the
weather is very dry and when the plant
is beginning to show the buds. This
possibility has caused many anxious
looking faces. Every grower knows
that spindling makes several hundred
pounds to the acre difference some
times, but at the present time tie
springs are not low and mornings the
surface of the fields LOOKS moist. Still
these hot days through which we have
passed make the top Of the ground ap-
pear pretty dry in the middle Of he
day. The grass has matured heavy and
fine, and now do nope we shall get q
fully matured crop of tobacco and corn.
All the growing crops are now giving
promise of full returns, and IT we get
good, moist weather with good, warm
nights we may get crop OF tobacco
that will be more merchantable crop
than that which we produced last sear.

LANCASTER, Pa, July 8, 1910.
There was nothing at all doing in the
local leaf tobacco market during the
past week and the dullness that usually
prevails in midsummer has now settled
down upon the market good and hard.
A great many of the packers are away
at the seashore or some other resort
and there is no trade at all in old goods
for the simple reason that there is very
little of this goods to be had. Inquiries
continue for the new crop, but as yet
no sales have been made.
The new crop in the fields is coming
along nicely. The plants are all good
and healthy looking and in some in
stances they have progressed so far
that the operations of topping can be
started in week or two.
All the cigar factories are filled up
with orders and are working full hours,
with as many hands as they can get,
and still looking for more. New Era.

New York.
New YORK, July 9, 1910.

The dog-days seem to affect more the
domestic than the foreign leaf situation
in the local leaf market. 1t is reported
pretty generally that trading in domes-
tic leaf is almost at standstill, while
such activity as prevails is chiefly in
Sumatra and Havana tobaccos. The
Sumatra market especially is brighter
than it used to be in many previous
year at these usually dull times. Mau-
ufacturers seem to be very much alive
to the precarious wrapper situation.
The imports of Sumatra will this year
fall far short of the normal quantity, as
may be safely judged now since the
last inscription before the summer va
cation took place yesterday and the
fall inscriptions as a rule offer but lit
tie that is available for the American
market. Quite rush is therefore no.
ticeable to secure a proper supply from
both the old and new importations, as
with the incipient and prospective
shortage of the supply prices are likely
to gradually advance. A like situation
manifests itself in the Havana market.
The reports on the new crops in Cuba
have not been reassuring of fax orable
yield both in quality and quantity. Be
sides, all reports agree that consider
ably higher prices are being asked and
paid for the new tobaccos both by the
local packers and the American manu-
facturers who are crowding the island
already for fresh supply. Under the
influence of these prospects the local
Havana market has experienced for
some time already a flushing activity
which would seem the more justified in
view of the fact that the old Havana
stock was at the command of the pur-
chasers at the most reasonable price in
recent years. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. Wis. july Is. 191,

EDGERToN, WIS.,, July Is, 1910.
Local rains which have fallen during
the week nave given temporary relief
from the long drouth that has proven
such serious handicap to the tobacco
crop in this state. In localities where
the rain fall was sufficient some re-
sumption of transplanting and resetting
of the burned out fields has beeh at
tempted, even though half of July is
passed. The early set fields seemed to
have survived the dry spell in good
shape and are making excellent pro-
gress since the late rains. However, a
large amount of the intended acreage
in the state must be devoted to other
crops rather than tobacco this season.
Nothing has developed in the market
for cured leaf to change the conditions
that have prevailed for some weeks
past. The sale of a 50cs lot of '08
binders by Mcintosh Bros has come to
notice, and few small lots were also
sold by local packers for the account of
the American Tobacco company, but
the general complaint is that the
trade is living on hand to mouth
policy and small transactions to meet
the immediate demands, comprise the
principal business.
There is but little trading from first
hands yet being carried on, though
there is some warehouse work to be
completed.
The shipments out of storage reach
450 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

year. While the Fall Inscriptions are
yet to take place, and while a quantity
of old tobacco has gone into consump-
ton, the fact nevertheless remains that
wrapper selection will be difficult Bus
mess continues brisk with the Sumatra
specialists.
Havana. In the local market there
has been quite little inquiry for Ha-
vana tobacco, and some sales are being
made all the time. In Havana interest
centers in the new Partido. New pack
ings are being started, and any tobacco
that gives promise of being available
for use within short time is snapped
up. Leaf.

VIRoQuA, WIS, July 6, 1910.

Not for twenty years has there been
harder drouth in Vernon county than
now prevails. Some sections have en-
joyed occasional local showers, but as a
whole prospects of short crop of al
most everything produced seems GER
tain unless we have rains the present
week. Grass is thin, pastures becom-
ing badly burned, ground parched SO
that little else than corn is making any
growth. Barley and wheat give prom
ise of fair returns, oats light, some
farmers cutting them at this time for
green feed and hay.
The tobacco outlook is most discour-
aging, especially in the Immediate sec
ton of Viroqua, and unless we have
rains now the crop will be the smallest
acreage the county has grown for
twenty years. Where rain has fallen,
even lightly, there is an occasional fair
stand Of a crop. Large plants and con-
tinued dry conditions mean practical
failure. After this week farmers will
consider it too late to set plants even
should VIC have favorable showers. =

In commenting on the effect upon the
market of an unusually large crop of
Burley tobacco being raised this year,
the president of the National Tobacco
association, in his opening address,
says: The time is ripe for the large
corporations to carry on their trans
actions upon plan of fair dealing and
the elimination of action and purposes
that destroy competition. If some
price could be established that would
fairly remunerate the farmer, and at
the same time be not SO high as to be
an incentive for over production in the
old territory and extension in the new,
perplexing conditions as to the prices
would be much clarified. Rumors are
that the crop in Kentucky will be cut
out next year, and by this method force
prices up on the 1910 crop. 1t has been
agitated that the next legislature Of
Kentucky may be elected on the plat
form of putting on prohibitive tax on
planting tobacco in 1911; this, of course,
would have to apply to tobacco of ev-
cry kind grown in the state. 1t is to
be sincerely hoped that saneness and
law and order will once more prevail,
and that it will be recognized even by
Kentuckians that the law of supply and
demand will determine prices and that
artificial means cannot last.
The sudden death last week of Chief
Justice Melville W. Fuller of the
United States supreme court, holds
more than passing interest for the to-
bacco trade of the country at large, in
asmuch as it may mean further post
ponement of the now famous suit OF
the government against the American
Tobacco Co. under the provisions OF the
Sherman antitrust law. The death of
Chief Justice Fuller, which is the third
to occur on the supreme bench since
the case reached that tribunal, JUS
tees Peckham and Brewer having
passed away before him, leaves the
situation open to considerable conflict
ing opinion as to the result when the
case comes up for argument. 1t is also
rumored that successor may be ap-
pointed to Justice Moody, whose re-
tirement on full pay has been author
lied by congress. Until the bench is
again filed but little conjecture can be
made as to the probable attitude OF the
supreme court on the tobacco case.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Since the breaking of the drouth
early in the week there has doubtless
been temptation to resume the plant
ing of the tobacco fields in those sec
tions where they have been unable to
set out the crop. Although it is rather
late for transplanting, many growers
seem to believe there is better chance
for thrifty plants freshly set than for
those that have been struggling for an
existence the past two or three weeks
during the dry weather. There is so
much of the late planted fields that was
burned out and missing or stunted in
growth by the long dry spell that the
grower figures that it is better to take
a chance on resetting the field than
permit poor stand to try and weather
through With exceptionally good con-
ditions from this on their reasoning
may not be far out of the way. It is
simply question of what the season
viii bring. The middle of July though
is generally considered the extreme
limit. for transplanting the crop, and it
like taking long chance on results.
H
The u. S. Tobacco Journal has dag
nosed the case and says it is the wrap
per question for the nickel cigar that
effects the general condition OF the
manufacturing trade. Without disclos-
ing its remedy it proceeds to predict
that the decreasing of factories and the
increase of output is the natural and
logical process of monopolization of our
great cigar industry. " A little over
twenty years ago the output Of the
largest factory was twenty-five mil
lions. But the output of the combina
ton of successors to that firm is today
near four hundred millions, an increase
of 375 per cent in two decades. For
such a phenomenal expansion credit is
undoubtedly due to the extraordinary
business genius, push, energy and as
siduoas work of both the executive and
manufacturing heads of the concern
and also in part to the ample means
enabling the marvellous branching out.
But with all the means at disposal and
all the business genius in command an
increase of the output from twenty
five to four hundred millions would
have been an utter ifl1possibility had
not another element eutered into the
process of our cigar production which
on it's part proved itself the instigator
and facilitator of an almost unlimited
expansion. And that element is the
kernel of the whole question concern
ing the welfare of the cigar industry
at large and the saving of the exis-
tence of the individual manufacturer in
particular. The element is the wrap
per question for the nickel cigar. Only
in the supply for the masses an almost
unlimited field is offered as it is the
masses that multiply most and most
certain. And the nickel cigar has be-
come the smoke of these broad and
ever increasing masses. In consequence
the nickel cigar has become also the
mainstay of our cigar industry. It is
the standard by which it's general pro-
gress is judged and it is this cigar in
the leaf composition of which the well
fare and fortune of the leaf trade at
large are likewise concerned. -

THE GREAT PROBLEM OF
COAL DISTRIBUTION.

All over the West, with the TEN
persture making new low records, there
Is complaint that the coal supplies are
exhausted, and the people IN imminent
danger Of suffering Indeed, in many
places they are already unable to
keep warm, while business Is. in a
state of semi-suspension for want OF
fuel. Factories are closed and public
institutions unable 10 keep open It
Is not, primarily, a question OF price,
but Of getting coal and having 1t
moved.
The almos regular annual recurrence
Of this experience IN various parts Of
the country is really caused by the
earelessness of people about making
provision of the winters coal supply
while there Is yet time to do it in
safety. Coal Is the bulBiest Of house
hold commodities The problem OF
finding cars and motive power to trans
port 1t, IN times Of pressing demand
Is always serious Storage likewise Is
expensive and limited.
The proper and economical method
OF storing coal Is TO use the coal bins
of some millions Of homes. If people
would but learn the lesson OF fore
handedness in this matter of coal; If
they would buy their winters supply
during the summer, and put 1t mo
their bins, they would save money, and
they would set insurance against coll
famines. Coal, necessarily, Is trans
ported at comparatively low rates. 1t
ought to be made Just as easy and
convenient as possible for the rail
roads to move 1t; and the only way to
this Is 10 unload the cars
promptly, to take the coal from deaIe~s
10 the homes and thus leave the
dealers their storage capacity.
Unfortunately, few people VIII learn
and profit by the lesson which expert
ence has so many times pointed They
assume that some sort OF Presidential
care viii assure that there viii b. coal
when they need It, and when they dis
cover that their own thoughtIeszness
has brought them face to face with
famine they blame the railroads and
the dealers
There Is no excuse for long strings
Of railroad cars moving Westward from
the coal mining regions, absolutely
empty, during the summer and autumn.
They ought to be carrying the winters
coal. But too often the sheds of
dealers are full to their capacity before
the people have begun to buy, and
then there can be no more movement
until the pressure OF insistent demand
arises. High prices and famine result.

NON - PARTISAN DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS.

u Is doubtful If there IS another
city In the United States where the
political affiliations OF executive Of
fcers are Of such little consequence
as in the District Of Columbia. There
has not been in the past, and there
Is not now, any disposition in the
executive office Of the local govern
ment TO raise the question Of party
politics at any time.
It IS difficult TO understand, there
fore, why there should be a storm Of
protest because Of the Presidents
selections for District Commissioners
At best It would be an empty honor
from the standpoint OF partisan poll
tics to have q representative Of either
party on the Board of Commissioners.
In the District of Columbia more
than in any other city IN the United
States the executive officers are de-
voted to their official duties without
ever a thought Of politics. 1t Is I'm
dOubtedly a fact that a majority OF
the people of the District do not know
which one of the present civilian Com
missioners Is a Republican and which
one Is a Democrat It would seem to
be a source of qualification TO the
people of the District that In this IN
stance the President was able to throw
aside the question OF politics and
select the best men available without
regard TO their professions of political
faith We are confident that President
Taft would have made exactly the
same selections had Mr.. Rudolph and
General Johnston been Democrats
The President has demonstrated on
more than one occasion that party
affiliations do not weigh heavily with
him when IN search Of good men for
responsible positions. Whatever may
be the political beliefs of Mr.. Rudolph
and General Johnston we have every
confidence that the citizens OF Wash
ington VIII be given an admirable non
partisan administration. II should be
q source OF satisfaction that the Dis
trict government Is so absolutely d.
vorced from politics, and we are con
fdent that even the Democratic Sena-
tors VIII take this view OF the matter
and Unhesitatingly confirm the Presi-
dents nominations
