NEW YORK. Nov. Z. 19


Conditions in the leaf market appear
to be normal for this period of the sea-
son. In all types that correspond to
the demand of the cigar industry a
healthy activity prevails. Binder stock
finds ready sale. And as for the diff
ferent types of filters, as long as their
price is within the limit set by the
purchasers they also find ready takers.
In Sumatra the actual sales this week
showed marked improvement from
the viewpoint of the importers. Man
ufacturers seem to be resolved to in
vest now in stocks of medium color
while there is still an opportunity Of
getting this tobacco at comparatively
attractive prices. There is also good
demand for Connecticut broadleaf, the
supply of which, however, is limited.
Havana leaf is moving along steadily.
A large lot of Havana said to be In pos
session of banking institutions is re-
ported to be scheduled for disposal at
either private sale or auction.
Orders continue coming along in good
strength, and so far there is no reason
to anticipate other than healthy WIN
ters run of business. Key West and
Tampa cigars in wholesale hands are
moving at pace which promises lively
work in these centers to keep custom
ers supplied. The eastern market is
developing stronger demand for Seed
and Havana cigars made in this dis
trict, if one can judge from recent trips
of a number of New York factory
salesmen Western business is on a
good steady level, and the Coast trade
could hardly be better. Collections are

New YORK, Nov. /, 1911.

A phase of trade activity that has
taken place almost unobserved is the
rapid purchase at extremely hige prices
of the Connecticut 1911 crop. 1t is be-
lieved that fully ninety per cent of the
crop has passed from first hands, in
cluding Broadleaf, the old fashioned
Havana Seed and much of the primed
tobaccos. In the past week some of
the Broadleaf crops have been bought
at from 80 to SO cents, and some of the
purchases of Havana Seed have been
proportionately high. This buying has
been accompanied by the plan, now get
ting to be the custom in Connecticut,
of paying down asubstantial amount of
earnest money.
Very little of the 1911 Pennsylvania
has been bought from the farmers, and
there is belief in Water street that it
will be secured at much less than the
farmers thought at harvest time. Then
eleven and twelve cents were demand
ed, but in view of a number of circum-
stances. among which are the danger
of pole-rot in the crop itself and the
quantity of the 1909 and 1910 crops that
are still in packers hands, there has
been no eagerness to buy, and there
seems good reason for the hope that it
will not be bought until it has been
stripped.
The principal demand in the local

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Nov. 10, 1911.


A good deal of riding in the growing
districts continues TO be done for the
balance of the 1911 crop, which is now
being taken over quite extensively and
should the movement be pushed it is
only question of a short time when
the great bulk of the crop will be ab-
sorbed. While the majority of the
sales range from to s cents, the
sounder crops bring close to the early
figures. The following sales have come
to notice:
Arthur Vickers, ga at 10&4c.
Jens Nasset, Ia at l0&3c.
Elias Saunders, Ia at &c.
F. c. Punzel, Ga at 61c.
Old leaf of binder nature continues
to be in good demand and several small
packings of '10 leaf have been sold
during the week Mr.. Rose, of Rose
& Wobbe, New York dealers, is cred
tied with having purchased about 400
cases of John Soulman, a 100 case lot
of N. E. Nelson and also a 100 case lot
of O. c. Lee, Stoughton. c. j. Jones
& Son Of Janesville is reported to have
sold packing of about 400 cases to a
New York manufacturer. Chas. Carey
sold his '06 and '07 crops of loose to-
bacco to Pittsburg dealer.
There has been plenty of casing
weather during the week, furnishing
dealers an opportunity to examine the
cured crops, though but very little has
yet been removed from the sheds.
The shipments out of storage are
light, not exceeding 400cs from this
market to all points for the week.

SToUGHToN, WIS, Nov. 3, 1911.

The rush for Wisconsin leaf has not
yet been renewed but buyers are show
ing an inclination TO resume operations
and today farmers in this vicinity re-
ported that as many as three called on
one of thom. The figures offered were
from 10 to II cents a pound with 3
cents for filters. The tobacco crop sold
by Ed Espelie this week was somewhat
injured by grasshoppers. It brought 8
cents straight, good price, no doubt.
Many offers have been made by the
American Tobacco Co. agents at 6 and
up to Z, but the Equity people say that
unless better terms are made for par
TALLY damaged goods, they will start
putting up packings when the sort
ing season opens. At Gays Mills the
Mcintosh Bros. of Edgerton have leas-
ed the Equity warehouse. In that 10
cality there is practically no tobacco
left uncontracted, either old or new.
Owing to grasshoppers the weed must
all be run, over the tables with consid-
cradle care this year.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. 81, 1911.
Good judges are of the opinion that
fully seventy-five per cent. of the 1911
New England tobacco crop has been
sold and that more than half of the en-
tire crop has been bought by the Amer
ican Tobacco Co. and the American
Cigar Co., the latter taking the choice
crops ard the former less desirable
ones to be used for smoking tobacco,
and other purposes. Good prices are
being paid for fair to choice tobacco.
Havana Seed, grown in the open and
cut by the old method, brings from 16
to 20 cents per pound in the bundle.
Poor or inferior grades, IF course, sell
for less. Broadleaf is in demand at
from 80 to 80 cents d as high as 35
cents have been paid few instances.
Primed Havana tobac 70 is being pick 1
up at from % to cents in the bundle,
or at from s to x cents more than was
paid for the saraa grade of tobacco last
year.
That there wi. be scarcity Of good

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES



Acceptance, with few modifca-
tions, of the American Tobacco Co. S
own plan of dissolution was announced
by the federal court in New York We'd
nesday. Each of the judges believes
the plan is honest and made in good
faith, so this ends the matter SO far as
the government is concerned,
***
The revival of the buying movement
the past few weeks, cutting big slices
off the unsold portion Of the crop, has
brought about condition where the
remaining fraction could easily be
picked up with little concerted action
and the big crop of 1911 tobacco prac-
tically absorbed before the general pub
lie was hardly aware Of the situation.
After three-fourths of crop has been
gathered in it doesn't take long for a
few large operators to secure the bal
ance when buying can be easily con-
Quoted. And when straight prices are
paid growers are more readily con-
vinced, and the bulk of later sales have
been upon straight price basis. None
know better than the man who grows
the crop the damage grasshoppers and
storm may have done to their tobacco,
and the grower is also wise to the fact
that selling at a round price is the best
trade to make in such year. Hence
it has been rather an easy road to
travel with the buyers who are able to
pay from 6 to cents lately. The
farmer who can get an &c straight
price we'll knows he is getting an equiv
alent to II or 12 cents paid for the
wrapper grades earlier in the season,
if he only stops to figure. So the
earlier purchases, even though the
prices were high, were the better bar
gains for the dealers after all.

SMOKING IN COURT.

From the Macon Telegraph.
A young man was arrested and
fined for contempt in the record
er's court in Atlanta on Tuesday for
lighting his cigarette and taking a
few whiffs while the court was in
session.
The youngster was twenty years
old, and explained that he had never
before seen court in session. He
pleaded that he did not know that
it was against decorum to smoke in
open court"
There is little wonder that with
the passing of the old-time courtesies
formerly known among gentlemen,
and with the new and execrable hab-
it of smoking at dinner, and almost
everywhere else, this youngster
should have met with surprise in
Broyles court.
The time was when a gentleman
never lit a cigar in the presence of
female in open air without first
asking her permission. But should
an old-timer do the like now he
would surprise even the lady her

PRESIDENTIAL ROOMS.

There will be no dearth of candi-
dates for the democratic nomination
for president next year. The first
maneuvering for position was begun
by Governor Harmon of Ohio, and
Gov ThOs. r. Marshall of Indiana
has announced his candidacy. He has
authorized members of the Indiana
congressional delegation to declare
that he will be pleased if the Hoosier
democracy advances him as its can
didate, but under no circumstances,
he asserts, will he consent to have
his name considered for vice-presi-
dent.
Another presidential candidate,
whose boom has not yet been launch
ed, is Champ Clark, speaker of the
house of representatives. He has
the endorsement of William J. Bry-
an, who, judging by recent events,
will have great influence in shaping
the policies of the party and in Sc
Letting the candidate-who may be
none other than himself if he should
get in control. Governor Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey is also a pres
idential aspirant, and is assiduously
keeping himself exposed to the
lightning.
The result of the special session
Of congress and the regular session
which will follow next December will
probably have a determining influ-
ence upon the chance of Mr.. Clark.
If the democrats legislate wisely and
make a clean and creditable record
the speaker will be looked upon by
many as the logical candidate of the
party.

HOW WILL 1T END?

One batch of kilograms about the
Mexican situation tells of the plans
and hopes for peace, which is en-
couraging, but the next batch tells
of sanguinary fighting in many parts
of the republic. 1t is barbarous war
fare, too, for we read of the use of
soft or "dum-dum" bullets, long ago
discarded by civilized peoples in
warfare; of plans and attempts to
poison soldiers and even non-cOm-
batants by the placing of poison in
the food; of the destruction of the
homes of the rich and the poor alike;
of the ravaging of property and Of
rapine.
War is hell" declared old Te-
cumseh Sherman, and he told the
truth, for he knew what he was
talking about. He had done his
part toward making it hell for
the people of the South and
in Georgia, whose homes and prop
erty he destroyed so ruthlessly.
BY what is going on in Mexico We
are again reminded of the hellish
ness of war, and especially when i
is civil war waged between brothers
so to speak, who occupy the same
land, speak the same tongue, have
the same customs and traditions.
From all reports Mexico is fast
yerging into a state of widespread
strife and disorder, and the Ques-
ton is, how will it end? That is
fateful question, for it involves con-
sideration of what may ensue if it
shall develop that the people of the
stTife-cursed land are not competent
to adjust their differences and re-
store peace and order. The shadow
of American Intervention must IL
ways loom up while the situation in
the border land is as it is now.

WAS A MAsTERFUL MAN.

In the death of Tom L. Johnson
several times mayor of Cleveland,
Ohio, an interesting figure is remov-
ed from the scenes of activity. Mr..
johnson was a man Of masteTfuI
ability, bold and even aggressive,
and yet a man who was intensely
human in his sympathies and his
comprehension of human needs. He
amassed great wealth, and used it
wisely and literally, In public life
his example and efforts were all for
good, because he contended for hon
esty, for candor and courage He
believed there can be righteousness
in the conduct of public affairs, and
he had sympathy for the humble and
lowly. We think Tom JOhnson's life
was markedly useful, that he lived
for the good of his country and his
kind.

HELP DAWSON THIS MUCH.

The establishment of city mail de-
livery on June 18th will advance
Dawson from the country town class
to that of city, as distinguished
by the postofice department, and is
an evidence of progress that should
be gratifying to every citizen. The
| convenience of city mail deliv-
cry will be equal to that of other
modern improvements, and after the
citizens become accustomed to the
daily visits of the mail carrier they
will wonder how they managed to
do without it as long as they have.
At first some may not appreciate
the Importance of this new service,
but every person who feels an inter-
est in the future development of
Dawson should meet the require
ment of the postoffice department,
which is that each residence and bus
mess house must be provided with
a receptacle for the mail. This can
be done by putting up a mail box,
which can be procured at any of the
hardware stores of the city for the
small price of fifty cents to one dol
lar, or by cutting a hole in the front
door, which can be done practically
without cost. Besides being a great
convenience to those who will take
advantage of it the new service will
provide employment for two more
heads of families, and distribute
$4,000 more of government funds
annually into the channels of trade
that would not otherwise be put into
circulation here.
1t is the desire of Postmaster Lew
is, who has been untiring in his eff
forts to secure city delivery for
Dawson and assured the department
at Washington that the people al
most without exception would avail !
themselves of the service, that every
residence and business house be
equipped with mail receptacle not |
later than June LIST, so that he will |
be in position to render a credita-
BILE report to the authorities at
Washington on June 9Th.
Even if you do not believe the
delivery of mail to your door will
be of any advantage to you it will
be worth something to show, by
meeting the requirements of the pos
tai authorities, that public spirit
which has usually characterized the |
people of Dawson.

Let There Be No Bitterness.
ON the Columbus Ledger.

From the Columbus Ledger.
The Dawson News makes the pre-
diction that if Hoke Smith is elected
to the senate there will be a three
cornered race for governor between
Murphy Gambler, Dick Russell and
Jack Slaton, with the extreme anti
prohibition element for Slaton.
The Ledger made this prediction
some weeks ago with the exception
of the prohibition reference. In this
The News may be correct. We trust,
however, that the liquor question
will not figure in This cdn;Da' On.
An ordinary gubernatorial cam
paign would certainly be enough to
infiict upon the people of Georgia so
soon after the last contest, and in
the event prohibition is injected as
an issue it would be disastrous to
business interests, in that it would
tend to demoralize the people in all
sections of the state.
The Dawson News says further
on the subject:
LAS campaigner and stump
speaker Russell would have a de-
cided advantage over both Slaton
and Gambler"
Possibly so. All of these gentle
men, however, are strong politically,
and the race would doubtless be
close and interesting between them.
In the event of the election of
Hoke Smith as senator the Ledger
would like quiet campaign for gov
ernor with the elimination entirely
of the prohibition question.
