New York Oct 31-The selection of
"a successor to Vice President Sherman
as the Republican candidate to go
before the electoral college in January
was the subject of informal discussion
today, amongst members of the Re-
publican National Committee now in
New York. GOV. Herbert s. Hadley Of
Missouri has been advanced as the
choice of several members of the COM
mittee. but no effort has been made
as yet to settle upon "a candidate.
The fact that Chairman Hilles has
delayed the meeting of the national
committee until Nov II, d week after
election will, it is believed prevent
any general agreement upon the Vice
Presidential candidate until after the
results of the election are known.
Should President Taft and the Repub-
sican electors be successful or hould
the election be thrown into Congress
by the failure of any candidate to
secure a majority it is believed the
pressure would become strong upon
the National committee TO name Gov.

prominently identified in the Progress
sive movement, but who did not join

SAvOFF VICTOR.
Superior Strategy Gives
buIgaTians Battle.
Great Turkish Army in Full
Retreat from ThTaCe.
Council Said to Be Ready to Sue
For Peace.-Bulleiins.

London. Oct. 31.-A four days
battle i'll Thrace has ended in the
triumph of the Bulgarian commanders
in-chief, Gen. Savoff, whose skilful
strategy has probably brought to a
close one of the shortest and most
remarkable wars on record.
A great Turkish army, estimated at
over 100000 men, has been defeated
and is in retreat. Constantinople is
believed to be at the mercy of the
victorious Bulgarian army, and a
council. sitting at the Porte, is dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of suing for
peace.
Such is the news which comes from
Constantinople.
Scarcely Fortnight Passed.
1t is only fortnight since Turkey
declared war. The first week of the
campaign closed with the dramatic
fall of Kirk Kilisseh, fully revealing
for the first time the Reorganization,
bad morals and inefficient commits
sariat of the Turkish army. TODAY,
the army is defeated-routed within SO
miles from Constantinople and posi-
bly, its retreat within the capitals
line of defences is cut off. Only the
briefest and vaguest accounts of the
great battle have yet been received,
for the war has been especially re-
markable, in that not a single war
correspondent has been allowed at
the front except in the case of the
little Montenegrin campaign against
Scutari
Thus no independent personal mar
ratives of the absorbing events have
been possible and the world has had
to depend on biased official accounts
provided by the respective govern
ments, or confused details supplied by
wounded soldiers.
Nazim Pasha Out Maneuvred.
Apparently Nazim Pasha has been
completely out Unanswered by Savoff S
sKilful generalship. The Bulgarian
turning movement along the Black sea
coast now appears to have baffied the
Turks and induced the Turkish COM
mander TO throw his main army To
the eastward, to such effect that the
Bulgarian force on this side had the
greatest difficulty in holding the Turks
in check.
In fact this point seems little in
doubt The Bulgari&ns gave way and
thus enabled Nazim Pasha to report
to Constantinople some success in this
direction.

Judging from activity in matters per-
tanning to the 1913 crop, Connecticut
valley tobacco growers do not expect
anything like knockout blow in the
coming tariff revision.
There are evidences that buyers will
go slow from now on. From now on,
too, buyers will have the advantage of
inspecting the tobacco and can get a
fair idea of grades and colors before
purchasing. Farmers who sold badly
hail cut tobacco at ten cents pound
are congratulating themselves highly
ON receiving about the highest price
ever paid for hail cut leaf, which in
this case practically covers the cost of
growing the tobacco.
Scarcity of help is reported in some
of the warehouses, owing in part to the
late fall which has given small growers
an opportunity to continue outdoor
farm work, and also because of the
great industrial activity in the cities
which are drawing on the country for
labor
New land is being broken up on a
number of shaded tobacco farms and
lumber is, being gotten out for new
sheds. Growers are beginning to con-
tract for fertilizers for next year and
shipments of stable manures from the
cities are being received.

NEW ONh, DCNs - 4O1Gs
Market conditions were rather leth-
argic during the week. Such transac-
tions as took place confined themselves
to immediate needs. A livelier interest
is being kept up only in the Havana
leaf market which is continuing to do a
very brisk business. So much so indeed
that it seems to have become a favor
already to supply any one with stock
for speculative purposes. Second Cap
aduras are reported to have become as
scarce here as in Havana. And the
factories who are making use of the
new crop are being rushed with orders.
Cigar manufacturers and jobbers re
affirm in cresendo chorus that business
is great and growing greater from day
to day. In fact, everyone connected
with the trade is working to the limit
of his capacity. The big manufacture
ers are far behind with their orders =

LANCASTER, IA, Lee. z, 1S1l.
The United Cigar Manufacturers, the
Eisenlohrs and few other big concerns
set the pace in buying the 1912 crop,
and those who followed had to pay the
price. The two concerns named bought
a lot of crops, hundreds of acres, at
nine and three cents before the grow
ers got wise to the knowledge that they
were going it wholesale and then they
14raised.' - | know of one big concern
whose buyers deserted the territory
they were in as soon as the prices went
up and tried another locality. Before
a great deal of the tobacco was bought
prices stiffened there, too, when these
buyers suddenly shifted back to their
first territory and cleaned it up at the
old price, nine and three.
At least half the crop has been bought
up, almost entirely by outside concerns
or parties buying for them Compare
lively few local dealers have bought
any yet.
It seems to have been generally be-
lieved that the crop would be sold most
ly for ten and three cents, but last
week prices all around stiffened, and
the prevailing price now is eleven and
three cents.
As usual the u. C. M. Co is the big
gest buyer this season, and it is under
stood that it wants 20, 900 cases. The
Eisenlohrs will be a good second, but
how much they want is not even con-
iectured Last year they bought heav-
lily of York county goods. which in the
past years have come into much favor
with the trade, but the districts where
they always bought were badly cut up
by hail this year. Chester county to-
bacco was very much in demand this
year, the quality being excellent.

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

EDGERToN, Wis, Dec 13, 1912.
Since the late casing weather has
permitted stripping to become quite
general, buyers are again riding the
country districts and considerable
movement is again under way. With
an opportunity to examine the tobacco
more critically, the business is con-
Quoted on saner lines and the buyer
better able to judge what he is getting
for his money. Some recent sales are:
w. A. Gardner, 1Oa at 8ac.
Nels Reindahl, 18a at 103&3c.
L. C. Guam, ga at &c.
Alfred Tverberg, Ga at 103&4c.
Probably from half to three-quar-
ters of the crop was removed from the
sheds during the casing spell last week
and growers are everywhere busy with
their stripping. Although few grow
ers have their crops ready for delivery
it is hardly probable that much ware
house work will be done until after the
holidays. Most packers prefer not to
start sorting operations until the new
year, because of the unsteadiness of
the help during the holidays.
Several out of town dealers have
visited the local markets in search of
cured stock during the week, but we
do not learn of any large deals being
closed. The scarcity of suitable binder
stock is apparent to all of them. Mar
tin Mason sold secs lot of IL to a
New York dealer.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 300 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

A meeting of the tobacco growers
was held at Bainbridge, Georgia, on
Thanksgiving day to investigate the
burning of S25, 900 worth of leaf tobac-
co in Decatur county on Wednesday
night. Three large barns were de-
stroyed in Georgia county and two
barns of the tobacco were consumed by
fire in Gadsden, across the state line in
Florida, 20 miles distant. The Florida
barns contained $3.50 worth of to-
bacco, making the total s40,0 Evi-
