No word has come from Lawton T.
Hemans as TO whether he will or will
not make the run for governor for the
democrats of this state, but members
of his party say that he cannot refuse
at this late date. They declare that
two months ago there was time to find
another candidate, rally the leaders
behind him and make n campaign.
Now il is too late. They declare that
whatever reasons Mr. Hemans had in
the past for hesitating about entering,
at this stage of the primary campaign,
it would be a serious matter to even
find man willing to take his place at
the head of the state ticket 1t is as
sumed by them that the Mason man
will enter and they expect a definite
announcement from him to that effect

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

On July 1st Mr.. VIM. S. Brill sewers
his connection with the United Cigar
Manufacturers Co. of New York, with
which firm he has been employed, in
charge of the buying department of
domestic leaf, for nearly forty years.
His long service with the largest inde-
pendent cigar manufacturing concern
in the country in so responsible posi-
ton makes the event worthy of special
mention. He entered the employ of
the old firm of Kerbs & Spies March
20, 1870, and was placed in the field as
a buyer of tobacco in the Big Flat dis
trict in 1876, remaining with the firm
until its consolidation with Kerbs, Wer-
theim & Schiller in 1890, which was
afterwards organized as the United Ci-
gar Manufacturers Co. by consolida-

MIAMIsBURG, o., June Is, 1910.
The 1910 crop of tobacco is new being
transplanted pretty rapidly this week.
In driving over the country one sees all
hands busy and the transplanters on
the move. Up to date our farmers are
about up to other years, and while
some are short of plants, we find others
with plenty, and the end Of this week
will find some of the small growers
through planting. The first planting
received the benefit of the slow, steady
rains of last week and is starting off
fine.
But little activity in old tobacco at
present, owing to packers being so
busy in the warehouse and unable to
receive much attention from growers,
who are busy planting the new crop.
The reports of the 1908 crop from the
packers seem to be favorable, and the
tobacco promises the making of fine
cigar tobacco, and one that will be
sought by the leading manufacturers
which must prove beneficial to Miami
Valley growers. News.

Tobacco transplanting is well along
at this date, although conditions have
not beeu exactly favorable to growth
of the plants after being set in the
fields. 1t is time for warmer weather,
and but few days Of hot sun are needed
to make wonderful difference in the
appearance of young plants.
Much tobacco which has been set for
two or three weeks has made practi-
cally no advancement, and some plants
have turned yellow for lack of sun.
Weather this week is substantially bet
ter. Wire worms have not been very
active because of the damp, cold
ground, but considerable damage work
ed in some localities by cut worms.

ago. Mr.. Brill commenced buying in
the Wisconsin field in 1892 and has each
year since been in charge of the busi-
nesssof this state, some seasons handl-
ing as high as 12,000 to Is, 600 cases Of
the crop, while the purchase of donles-
tic leaf of other states brings the firms
needs up we'll towards $4,000 cases and
involving an outlay running up into the
millions. Few men in the trade have
had greater responsibility thrust upon
them, and forty years continuous ser
vice with single firm is conclusive ev-
idence of his ability and services in the
buying field.
Mr. Brill retires from his onerous
duties with the United Co. to engage
in business on his own account, expect
ing to make speciality of Wisconsin
leaf in the future. His large business
dealing with the growers of Wiscon-
sin has given him wide acquaintance
here, and his reputation for fair deal

dial welcome when he comes to the
state on his own account. Here is sue

( A new, and what is believed to be an
effective preventative method to cir
cumvent the ravages Of the trouble
some cut worm has been discovered by
an OrfordvilIe tobacco grower, which
is so inexpensive and simple that it
ought to commend itself to very gen
eral use. Here it is: Add to each bar
rel of water used in the transplanting
about FIVE ounces of ordinary carbide,
such as is used for the making Of gas
for lighting plants, autos, ETC., making
the water SO offensive that it is alleged
that worms viii not gonear the plants.
The remedy works SO well that the dis
covery has been given the state expert
ment station for further trial and it is
believed that bulletins will be issued
commencing it to general use. The
grower who first made use of this mix
ture says it is sure cure. At any
event it is worth trial, and the writer
is pleased to make the first public an
nouncement of a discovery that, If all
that is claimed for it IS true, may mean
a great help to the tobacco growers OF
the country.
The United States is now the best
customer Of the Philippine Islands CT
gar industry, having taken in the year
1909 over Al per cent OF the islands
total cigar exports. In the twelve
months of the year 1909 the Philippine
Islands shipped cigars to all countries
of the world, valued at 81, 754, 529; and
while the United States was customer
only during the last five months of the
year, her imports by the end OF the
year amounted to S737, 1896. To all other
countries of the world the Philippines
exported cigars to the alue of S1,0l7,-
133. In the opinion of some people who
have given this matter much study, 1T
is doubtful if the Philippines will be
able to export SO large quantity OF
cigars in 1910 as they did last year.
There can be no doubt that all OF the
manufacturers had on hand certain
quantity of surplus stocks, and it is
equally probable that they manufact-
ured heavy stocks IN anticipation OF the
passage of the Philippine free trade
bill.

New YORK, June Is, 1910.


Market conditions seem to be on the
mend as far as available stocks are
concerned. Old filler and binder stocks
are finding ready market because of
the beginning realization OF the fact
that the new crops will command con-
siderable advance. There have been in
quiries already and examinations of
packers samples of the new Connecti-
cut broadleaf, and even contracts for
the acquisition of certain packings en-
tered into. But the broadleaf this year
is not likely to correspond to the de-
mand of last year. And when that COM
modify comes into market regularly
sampled there is bound to be as many
surprises as disappointments. In the
meanwhile there is strong activity In
Sumatra, both in the new importations
and in the old stock, the latter of which
is being gradually cleared out. The
problem of the current year later on
will be where and how to get enough
of available Sumatra leaf. This prob
lem is likely to open again a chance for
the Florida if the new crop should show
an Improvement Of the past few years
and should be reasonable enough to be-
come attractive to the manufacturer.
In view of the unanimous reports from
Cuba about the advanced prices that
all types of the new crop are command
ing, the local Havana market continues
to be both active and firm. For it is
evident that the Havana leaf will not
sell as reasonably next year as it does
at the present time. journal.
NEW YORK. June 15. 1910.
While inquiry has been fairly brisk
for all types of domestic tobaccos, act
ual transactions have been small and Of
little consequence. The hand-to-moutnl
stvle of buying still prevails. Some of
the new force-sweate Connecticut Ha-
yana Seed has been tried out by the
manufacturers, and considerable criti-
cism has been heard as to the texture
Of the wrappers.
Sun1atra. AT last Fridays inscrip-
tion as high as $50 Dutch cents We're
paid for the choice lots of one mark by
a large manufacturing concern, which
is the highest price paid for Sumatra
since 1892 About $50 bales were taken
for America, making less than Is, 600
bales for the year thus far. There are
only two more Amsterdam sales to take
place. Last year our purchases OF Su-
matra amounted to more than 81, 900
bales. In spite Of the enormous prices
that have been paid for the more de.
sirable lots this year, the tobacco will
prove very useful. The desirable to-
bacco, reasonably clean in color, and
yielding in proportion to the cost, will
not be in the market long. The better
tobaccos of the crop have, in the main,
given satisfaction While not so fancy
as in some past years, they have prov
en- acceptable; and the fear that they
would be seriously lacking in yield was
not justified. Leaf.

Farmers are slow in the work of to-

too bright because of The parched shape
of mother earth. Rain is sorely needed
for plant setting and all kinds of grain,
corn, fruit and other farm products are
suffering for moisture, none having
fallen for month.

have continued to come to market and
it is now believed that nearly or quite
all deliveries have been made. Local
warehouses have been picking away at
the weed as it comes in but all have

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS. June "a 1910.

EDGERTON, Wis, June "a, 1910.
The warm wave which has prevailed
the past ten days has not been exactly
favorable for getting the new crop into
the fields, for in some sections no rain
has fallen during the heated spell and
the work greatly handicapped A
heavy storm covering the southern
growing districts during the week was
accompanied by hail in localities so Sc
we're as to require much resetting of
the fields. Where rains have fallen
transplanting is progressing and in
such sections probably half the crop
will be out by the end of this week.
The report reaches us that the drouth
greatly retards the planting in the
Vernon county district. Weather con-
ditions must improve shortly or late
transplanting viii be the rule.
The market for cured leaf has drop
ped back into quiet lines again, and no
transactions of any Importance have
come to the surface since last report.
The sales from country hands, too,
have shrunk to small proportions. There
is considerable warehouse work to be
accomplished, and stemming operations
are likely to continue throughout the
season.
The shipments out of storage reach
657 cases and car load from this
market to all points for the week.
Since last report 5 car loads have been
received from outside points.
