NEW YORK, Dec. q, 1912.

NEW ORK, Dec. Il, lSlz.
The business of the leaf market might
be said to be suspended as the close Of
the year is so near at hand. Factories
are rushing out belated orders to patch
up the urgent demands of an unusually
brisk holiday trade. And when they get
through with their work they will have
stock trading on hand, so that the leaf
market could hardly expect revival OF
any activity before the second week IN
the new year. In the meanwhile the
different interests are bestirring them
selves to formulate suggestions and
plans for submission to the Ways and
Means committee at the tobacco hear
ing on January Z next. From all indi-
cations these interests will be largely
represented with as many different
schemes at odds with each other as
there will be delegations.
All manufacturers devoted the week
to cleaning up orders preparatory to
the usual annual shutdown at the end
of the year for taking stock, making
up internal revenue reports and making
whatever changes may have been de-
cided upon for the coming year. AS
for the jobbers, they should have fin
ished up their holiday orders some days
ago, but so much extra business kept
coming in that they have been busy,
while stocks continued to shrink in a
most agreeable way, considering the
approaching inventories. Business has
been surprisingly good during the clos
ing weeks of the year, with every in
dication that it will continue to i'm
prove next year. journal.

VIRoQUA, WIS.,, Dec. 19, 1912

A second period of case weather
openedon Sunday and continued through
Monday, ample it would seem to war
rant taking down all tobacco not re-
moved week since. Every man, boy
and other help that can be crowded into
the work is being utilized and little is
the rest or sleep in the tobacco sec
tions. There is general remark that
the leaf is light, having cured COM
pletely with thin texture, and weight
per acre will not be as great as antic-
ipated at harvest season. Censor.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Dec. 27, 1912.


The taking over of the unsold frac-
tion of last seasons tobacco crop is
quietly going on in most of the grow
ing sections and something like earlier
prices have been paid for the better
selections, though the bulk of the sales
are nearer stemming figures. Sample
sales are:
Otto Otteson, 14a at 123&4c.
HI. w. Anderson, ga at 10&4c.
Ole Sperstad, Ga at 10&3c.
Deliveries have been coming in quite
freely at receiving points during the
week While the tobacco is generally
in fine packing condition, the crop is
not weighing out as heavily as was ex-
pected.
The continuation of mild weather has
given growers ample time to complete
their stripping. A moderate trade is
recorded in old leaf only though there
is an increasing demand for all goods
of a binder nature. Oscar Hanson of
Cambridge sold 185cs packing of II
leaf to M H. Bekkedahl for the Rosen-
wald account.
Several of the local warehouses have
opened for the handling of the new
crop and the coming week will witness
some of the old time activity about the
packing centers.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about $50 cases for the week to
all points from this market.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 16,

LANCASTER, IA, Lee. 10, 4S1I'
The buying of the 1912 crop by large
manufacturing concerns has stopped,
and the understanding here is that they
have got all of this crop they want.
Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. are supposed to
have taken about Is, 900 cases and the
United Cigar Manufacturers Co. all the
way from 10000 to 10000 cases. De-
liveries have begun. Local packers
have not begun buying. Seventy-five
per cent of the crop is under contract.
The bulk of the tobacco thus far dis
posed of brought ten and three cents.
The contracts ranged all the way from
eight to eleven and one-half cents. A
lot of hail-cut tobacco is yet to be had,
at varying prices, according to the
damage done. Badly damaged crops
brought only three and four cents.
Most of the dealers estimate the crop
at about 70, 900 cases. Some think this
figure too low by 10000 cases. Unless
there is brisk movement soon in old
goods the local packers are not likely
to engage in a scramble over the re-
mainder of the crop. The recent soft
weather has resulted in a good deal of
tobacco being taken from the poles.
The local packers are still complain
ing of dull trade. 1t takes a lot of job
bing sales to make good business, and
the jobbing trade is none too brisk.
And all this in the face of a lively ci-
gar trade. There are plenty of fac
tories in Lancaster and York counties
where they cannot begin to get out or
ders on time, mainly because the sup
ply of hands is short.
The tobacco show which was booked
for this city on January 13 has been
changed to the first Monday in Febru-
ary. At that time the tobacco on ex-
hibition at the Lock Haven, Pa. to-
bacco show, the first exhibit held by
Clinton county, will be brought here.

Land Beyond the Rio

TO FRIENDS IN FREEzELAND

Eagle Pass, Texas, March s, '12.
Dear Friends in Freezeland:- / went
across the Rio Grande river into Old
Mexico a few days ago. This was not
my first visit to the land of Madero,
but at this time it was of interest be-
cause of the serious troubles that make
the task of running the government
there very unpleasant. The revolution
is SO serious that Americans are getting
out of the country on every train and
every ship.
A long bridge connects Eagle Pass
with Cindad Porfirio Diaz on the
Mexican side. On entering the bridge
l gave the toll-keeper dime and be
handed back to me ten-cent piece,
Mexican money, in change. The
Mexican piece contains more silver
than the American, yet it is worth
only half as much, and when L rocket
ed my change l felt proud that had
never voted for the "Peerless One"
from Nebrasks, proud of my American
citizenship and proud of currency
undefiled and undebased. A customs
officer on the bridge gave me one good
look, and seeing nothing suspicious in
my appearance, allowed me TO pass
unchallenged.
1t Was Sunday and the Band Played.
On the other side, L was at once
aware that L was on foreign soil.
Mumbling beggars stretched out their
skinny hands for aims, and foul odors
assaiIed the nostrils from filthy streets.
1t was Sunday, and brass band in
the main plaza wed in noise-making
with a priest who stood in church
tower and pounded on big bell with
a hammer. 1t was gala day In Old
Mexico, and the cock pits, saloons,
business houses, priests and boot-blacks
competed with one another in their
efforts to get .he attention and the
pesos Of the people. [ was glad that /
was stranger to it all, outside of it
and not of it.
The MeXicans do not look at Ameri-
cans with friendly eyes, at this time.
They believe that Di was and that
Madero is in too close touch with GER
tain American interests, and the revo-
lutionary spirit Is being fomented by
infammatory articles and speeches
against Los America1os, or "Gringos"

Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Thomas have
returned from Savannah, Georgia,
where they have spent several weeks
visiting friends and enjoying the
sights. The trains were all late and
they left the snow between Cincinnati
and Chicago. The spring in the south
is very back ward on account of the ex-
cessive rains. Mr.. Thomas saw the
people of Georgia picking cotton and
ploWing at the same time. The
peaches, figs and other trees are in
bloom and spring is at hand. The
acreage of cotton for 1912 will be cut
one half on account of the low price.
1t is now selling for 10 cents and some
of the growers must borrow money in
order to tide them over. At Savannah
about two million bales were received
and the amount was so great that
much of it still lies exposed to the
weather.

nevertheless. He writes that Regina
has population of 10000, seven rail-
roads and five roundhouses. Four
new railroads have recently been
build in that section. Mr.. Payn is
on large farm short distance fron
Regina and says he has charge of 40
horses, 80 cows and much other pro.
perty. A thousand acres on the farm
are ready for the crop ofs1912. The
farm is owned by widow woman.
Land is selling all the way from $40
to $50 per acre. Mr.. Payne was

have read the stories about robins

past few weeks l have been engaged
in filling a contract of delivering 225
cords of limestone to point near the
Ragatz church in the town of Honey

the so called Hunger hill and on that
occasion some of the lodge brothers
baptized Hunger hill as Monks hill.
Now from Is to 20 feet of the top of
that hill is of hard limestone and be-
low the limestone is a layer of 30
inches or more of snow-white soft
sandstone. Below this comes a layer
of greenish gray sandstone mixed all
through with small pebbles Of red
granite. How thick that layer is l
cannot tell. My mill is One-half mile

dynamite, to help US penetrate the
four feet of frost, we could not have
