NEW Y DIRK, March IL, 1910.
Business is just dragging along in the
leaf market. By driblets the supply of
the market is ebbing out. One house
is reported to have sold this week a
thousand cases of Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin to an out-of-tOWn manufac-
turing concern. That house is one of
the largest in the street, and in po-
sition to supply even extraordinary de-
mands. But not every house has suf-
ficient stock on hand to meet a rush
demand for considerable bulk. Prices
naturally remain firm. The chief in
terest of the market, however, was
centered in the reports about the new
Sumatra, the first inscriptions of which
for the year 1910 took place yesterday.
According to our special cable on the
outcome of the inscription the buying
by Americans fell far behind the usual
quantity taken for the American mar
ket. The lots offered did not appear
generally attractive to the American
buyers. There seems to have been a
large quantity of heavy and dark leaf
with but a limited admixture Of deSlr-
able marks for the American market.
But what was desirable was readily
picked up. Of course it would be un-
fair to pronounce judgment on the en-
tire crop from the first offerings. For
it seems to have become custom now
to push forward at the first inscriptions
the inferior and less desirable lots.
Anyhow the result of the first inscrip-
ton cannot but help boosting the old
stock on hand. Journal

made earlier in the season, and consid-
erable tobacco has been let go at 9 and
10 cents, some even as low as and z
cents, and the growers feel that they
should not be asked to take less. The
packers, on the other hand, say they
cannot afford to give even 9 and 10
cents a pound for this tobacco, as its
condition and quality do not warrant
such prices. The trade at large evinces
no inclination to buy this crop, and it
may prove burden on the packers
hands. They allege various objections
to the crop, some of which the growers
say cannot hold water. Recently a
good deal of the tobacco sold has been
delivered at the warehouses, the grow
ers being desirous of getting it off their
hands before active spring work on the
farm begins. 1t is impossible to form
anything like good estimate of the
percentage of the crop already sold, but
more has been quietly purchased by
packers than they have made public,
and it is quite likely that third of the
crop has been sold.
The only trading done the past week
in old tobacco, which means the 1908
goods, was with the local cigar manu-
facturers, jobbing character. The
prices of these goods have not changed
for months.
No change has occurred in the cigar
industry, which, taken as whole, is
rather quiet. New Era.

NEW YORK. March 9, 1910.

The market in general continues
rather inactive, though some firms re-
port considerable improvement over the
past week or two. A complaint that is
general is the inability of the dealers to
get their goods shipped after they had
been sold. The tie-up throughout the
West, owing to strikes, landslides and
other untoward weather conditions, has
made it practically impossible to get
goods through on anything like sched-
ule time Some firms report that cars
remain loaded in front of their ware
houses in various sections for two
weeks or longer before the railroad
company take them up. AS result of
these conditions, express shipments
have become rather common. The
dealers suggest that manufacturers
who are likely to need goods within the
next three months would better send in
their orders as soon as possible because
of the impossibility of getting goods
shipped in anything like normal time =

Very little snow is left, not enough
here in the valley to make good or toll
cradle sleighing. In a few days the
mud will be so deep that the tobacco
buyers will find it difficult to get around
to pick up the trailings of the 1909 crop
of tobacco | have suspicion that Of
what is left the bulk will remain in the
hands of the growers.
You may have the best crop in the
valley, and if the environments are not
perfect you cannot sell at the early
prices for we all know that it is not al
ways quality that sells the crop, it is
the environment surrounding your own
self 1t has ever been so, and it will
ever be so. My advice s that if yo'l
have not sold your crop the sooner it $
in the boxes the better, so that you
may be enabled to place it Oh the mar
ket early and in the best possible con-
dition. All of the market quotatio =
are lower now than they were in tnc
fall and early wint r; that is in tie
market, and farmers cannot bull the
market in the least.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Whately, Mass: sMrs Michael Flavin
has sold her crop of IL acres. 1t was a

VIROQUA, WIS, March g., 1910.

Vanishing snow has made unusual
the efforts of growers to get their hold
ings to market and in the hands of pur-
chasers while there is sleighing and
good roads. These conditions have
made business lively in Viroqua and at
the other delivery points in this county
as wellsas elsewhere in the territory
where tobacco is cultivated. The local
warehouses are working all help OBJ
tainable in effort to clear away their
purchases before spring work opens.
It is difficult to retain help after spring
farming commences and the weather is
warm and pleasant. At the very best
there will doubtless be rush and
plenty of employment in the Viroqua
packing houses into May. Censor.

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

EDGERTON, WIS, March Is, 1910.
The buying of last seasons tobacco
crop is quietly being prosecuted in
nearly all sections of the state again
with prospect that the growing dis
tricts will be pretty thoroughly cleaned
up. Prices, however, rule low, mostly
under the 8 cent mark, while a good
deal is being handled on an export
basis or for account of stemming. The
indications of an early spring have
seemingly acted as sort of impetus to
growers to let go of their holdings be-
fore farm work is rushing.
The market for cured goods contin-
ues along old lines, which means a slow
trade generally. Halverson & Bitters
of Stoughton are reported as selling
225cs lot of '08 goods to E. Haskins.
Other business is mostly in small lots.
The deliveries are now being made
with less difficulty as the country
roads are again getting into normal
condition, but the great bulk of the
early purchases have already been re-
ceived. Warehouse handling has COM
menced to drag, for help is now leav-
lug the sorting rooms for the farms
and shops and in nearly all packing
more labor is needed.
The shipments out of storage reach
1920 cases and IA car loads of bundles
to all points for the week. Since last
report IS car loads have been received
in this market from outside points for
warehouse handling.

There are occasionally some tobacco
deals, even in these days of bad roads,
and the following were reported from
south of town yesterday: James Allen,
IA at 8&3c, and Mike Kern, 25a at 1913.
Both sales we're made to E. G.. Tallard

The net earnings of the American
Tobacco Co. for the year 1909, after
deducting expenses of administration,
are shown by the report of the treas
urer, j. M. w. Hicks, read at the an
nual meeting of stockholders, to be
$50, 448, ,384.24. Deducting from this
amount the premium of the per cent
gold bonds of the company purchased
and retired, interest on the bonded in
debtedness, and four quarterly divi-
dends of Il per cent each on the pre-
ferred stock, there is left a surplus OF
$40, 327, 295.78, which, added to the sur
plus from previous years earnings,
makes total surplus of S58, 1853, 557. Sc
applicable to payments of dividends on
common stock. During the year the
company paid 35 per cent in dividends
on their common stock, amounting to
$14, 084. $40, which, deducted from the
surplus, leaves $44, 268, 717.56 surplus.
From this is to be deducted 81, 1859,
557. SO, the price of the per cent bonds
purchased and Cancelled, which leaves a
net surplus at the end of the year of
$42, 499, 1908. These figures look like
the cutting of a nice juicy melon. The
report, however, does not mention the
fact that the Havana American Co., a
subsidiary concern, was operated at a
loss of nearly half million dollars last
year.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-03-18

The American Cultivator, in recent
report commenting upon the fact that
number of crops contracted for last
fall had been turned back into the
farmers hands, gives the following ad-
vice to the tobacco farmers: Next
year take down and strip your crop and
Sell in the bundle or case. Take no
money, sign no contract, but demand
that the tobacco be weighed and paid
for, to be delivered at any time the
buyer calls for it, and if the buyer goes
away without paying for the crop insist
that you shall have perfect right to
contract the tobacco to any other party
on that day or next. Do not allow him
to pay you few dollars to hold you, SO
that he is not bound to call for the de-
livery until it suits him. Any blind
guide can see that in this way you will
have exchanged places with him, and
if he refuses to take your tobacco at
the contract price, you will have the
money to combat him with. These
are words fifty spoken, so far as they
relate to the advisability of not selling
until the tobacco has been stripped and
placed in a merchantable condition, and
so far as they are condemnatory OF the
unmerchantlike, unWlSe and trouble
provoking custom of selling while the
tobacco is in the fields they are in line
with what the Tobacco Leaf has argued
for for many years. But so far as they
relate merely to the matter OF giving
the grower the whip handle IN his
transactions with the dealer, furnishing
the former ''the money to combat him
with, it is another matter. There is
no power on earth that can compel the
farmer to sell if he doesn't want to-
In the ethical aspect of the case, there
is nothing to choose between the man
who sells what he hasn't got and the
man who buys it. Both are gambling
in futures. But whatever the motive,
the Cultivator's advice is sound, and
the leaf growers of the whole country
will do well to follow tn. Y. Tobac-
co Leaf.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

1t is doubtful if any tobacco crop
purchased largely in the field has been
subject to a more general dockage at
delivery time than the present one.
There have been years when the de-
ductions have been larger perhaps, but
we can recall none when buyers were
more general in demand for some
thing off the original contract price.
We refer particularly to that portion of
the crop bought while green in the
fields, the later purchases and the
cheaper grades were of course exempt
from this trouble 1t is estimated that
an average dockage of about 10 per
cent has been made on the early buy
ing, which of itself is sufficient to con-
denim the practice of selling the crop
before it is ready for market. There
can be no denying the fact that there is
quite large per cent of damage in the
crop which no grower could reasonably
expect to deliver under the usual con-
tract, but in season when dockage is
SO general it is an easy matter for the
farmer to imagine he is unfairly treat
ed and good deal of hard feelings are
engendered. And yet nearly every
packer will contend that with all the
deductions he is unable to get enough
off to make up for the unsound tobacco
he finds when the crop is run over the
sorting tables. Perhaps buyer who
enters into speculation SO venture
some ought to pay an occasional penalty
for his rashness.
"A measure bracing up and legalizing
the pooling of tobacco has been passed
over the governors veto in Kentucky.
The bill which was passed by the sem
ate provides that farm organizations
may file list of their members in the
clerks office in the county where the
pooler resides, and will fix penalty
for buying from any member so re-
corded in said list. This recordation
has the same effect on creditors or pur-
chasers as the recordation of chattel
mortgages. 1t strengthens the present
law legalizing pooling of crops.

Houston, Texas, September 81
Judge Norman G.. Kittrell. presiding
over the Criminal District Court in
the absence OF Judge Cornelius
Robinson, made an order on Tuesday
Afternoon that created something OF
a sensation among the attaches and
frequenters of the courthouse.
Judge Kittrell declared from the
bench that he wanted no one in his
court carrying pistols. and he rein
forced the declaration by remarking
that 1t applied to police officers. dep
uty sheriffs, constables and deputy
constables. Several policemen who
were present to testify in cases on
call left the room, but the deputy
sheriff on duty remained in the court
room and kept his pistol buckled a.
round his waist
The incident came up during the
trial OF Ben Pettis, a Negro. charged
with assault TO murder. 1t was al
legged that Pettis took several shots
at Police Officers Moody, Lockhart
and Bishop Officer Bishop was IN
the witness chair and counsel for the
defendant called the courts atten-
tion to the fact that Bishop was car
rying gun. The remarks from the
bench were then uttered. Later on
Judge Kittrell instructed the jury to
return a verdict of acquittal, which
was done.
Entering a plea OF poverty in ex-
tenuation for his act, w. Brown,
charged with stealing a coat from the
Standard Hotel. was given his liber-
ty and John Weidemeyer. charged
with burglary, was tried before jury
who turned him loose.
