A lengthy session Of local union No.
2l of the International Union of Bridge
and Structural Iron workers was held
Tuesday evening at Labor temple, but no
action was taken with reference to the
pleas Of guilty of the Mcnamara brothers,
though the room in which the meeting
was held was crowded for the closed ses-
sion which lasted nearly three hours.
Secretary Painter stated that some action
might be taken later
An action OF Mr.. Painter shows what he
at least thinks of the two brothers. A

Woodrow Wilson
Asked for Pension,
But-He Didn't Get It

BALTIMORE, Dec. Ex-Governor Wood
row Wilson. in signed statement issued
here tonight regarding a story printed
today that he had applied to the Carnegie
foundation for a pension, admitted that
he had made such application before his
election as governor of New Jersey.
The governor justified his action on the
grounds of long service as o teacher;
that he had no private means to depend
upon, and that "a man who goes into
politics bound by the principles of honor
puts his family and all who may be de-
pendent upon him for support at the
mercy Of any incalculable turn OF the
wheel of fortune"
He said he could not understand why
the matter should come up now, as the
foundation had not granted the allowance.

EDGERToN, Wis, July Z, 1911.
Two successive weeks of sweltering
heat, when the thermometer ranged
above 80 day after day, has had a
scorching effect upon the growing to-
bacco crop, especially in sections not
favored by rainfalls during the heated
term. The tendency under such condi-
tions is toward contracted leaf and
an early bud, neither of which is desir-
able in the present stage of growth.
Cooler weather, which is now promis-
ed, as we'll as general rains, would rem
edy these defects.
The market for cured leaf has devel-
oped no news of Importance during the
week. An improved demand for good
binder stock, however, is noted, but
sales so far are confined generally to
small lots An eastern dealer is look
ing through the local markets this
week, but we do not learn of any trades
being closed. We learn that about 200
cases of the Richland Center packing
of '06 has recently been sold to Dwight
Loomis of Springfield, Mass.
A few local storms of vicious ma
ture have visited the growing sections
during the week and raised havoc with
empty tobacco sheds and doing some
damage to growing crops.
The shipments out of storage reach
about $50 cases from this market since
last report.

NEW YORK, July l, 1911.
Market conditions were dull this
week, as could not be otherwise ex-
pected with the holiday vacation before
the door. And yet the market is far
from discouraged, for there seems to
be an undercurrent prevailing full of
animation with prosperous prospects
caused by the advance in the cigar out
put of May and June. Nor does the
market seem to be troubled with any
anxiety about the effects of the high
prices on it's business. The high prices
being fact the market assumes that
the manufacturer will have to meet
them. The old stock is we'll nigh ex-
hausted, and as factories cannot go on
without the supply of raw material,
they will have to get it at the current
values with or without kick. In the
meanwhile everybody seems to get
ready to enjoy the holiday vacation or
rest up for the reason of a strenuous
business campaign which is likely to
open in the course of this month. =

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 27, 1911.
Tobacco in the fields and under cloth
in the Connecticut valley is growing
finely. Cut and wire worms are busy,
but the ravages of these pests can be
made good. Transplanting is drawing
to close. For the first time in years
there will be fields implanted on July /,
according to present indications.
Prices of tobacco plants are unusually
high, owing to their scarcity. Growers
complain that plants in the seed beds
have made such slow progress that
they are not available in sufficient
quantities. The situation is probably
due to the low average temperature.
On some of the shade-grown tobacco
plantations an opposite experience is
reported, the plants in the, seed beds
forging ahead so fast that transplant
ing has been Imperative, irrespective
of weather conditions. In Suffield,
Conn.,, tobacco plants, which are US
ually drug on the market at so cents
per thousand, are in demand at IS cents
and ST thousand.
A terrific hail storm swept over New
Milford in the Housatonic district last
week Tuesday. The hailstones were of
sufficient size to break windows. To-
bacco fields in the path of the storm
may have to be replanted.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, Pa, June %, 1911.
The trade is being given a genuine
surprise in the rapid movement of the
1910 packing. 1t was crop that was
looked upon with favor from the very
start by the packers, having been
grown and cut under the most favora
BILE conditions, which continued through
out the period of curing. 1t was not
bought until after the bulk of it was
stripped, so the packers knew precisely
the class of goods they were buying.
The only dissatisfaction it bred came
through the unfair dealing of SO many
of the growers, who refused to strip
clean, and insisted on turning in at de-
livery time filler goods, to large per
cent, among the wrappers. In spite OF
this, the packers saw In 1T money
making crop. Still, with so much of
the 1909 tobacco yet unsold, it was not
believed that so much of it would leave
the original packers hands so early in
the season, long before it has finished
sweating Atthe present timelpractlcal-
ly all that was in the so-called country
packers hands have passed to other
dealers, mostly the city packers, though
enough has been bought by New York
firms to prove that the merits of the
packing are recognized elsewhere than
in Lancaster. Last week we noted the
sale of one entire large packing to a
Philadelphia cigar firm, but it is doubt
full if any more large packings will be
sold at that figure, even though it did
net the seller handsome profit. The
city packers now, generally, are asking
nineteen and twenty cents.

The dog days have arrived in earnest
and they are undoubtedly reflected in
Water Street market conditions. Busi-
ness in domestic cigar leaf is at a
standstill, there being very little in
quiry and no sales of consequence, all
of which gives the dealers plenty of
time to enjoy the satisfactory reports
that are coming in from the growing
districts. Leaf

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The prolonged heated term that has
prevailed during the greater part of
the week with thermometers ranging
80 and above most of the days has
proven very trying to the growing
crops. The extreme heat has parch-
ing and whitening effect upon vegeta-
ton and continuation of such condi-
tions many days longer must tell upon
the harvest. Already the early tobac-
co fields show disposition to bud be-
fore reaching its normal growth and in
sections where rain is needed the
plants are not developing the spread of
leaf desired. Perhaps tobacco is stand
ing up better under such unusual con-
ditions than most other crops, but the
outlook at the present writing is not as
encouraging as we have been able to
report each week covering the grow
ing crop. Rain followed by cooler tenn
perature is greatly needed if the crop
standard is to be maintained. June
temperatures have far exceeded those
of any recent years.
