SCORING CREECYS,
JUDGE DELAYS HIS
DECISION IN SUIT

Celebration, Not Award

Holding the case open until fall, JUS
tice Dan Thew Wright. in Equity Court,
No. 2, today declined to grant separate
maintenance to Mrs. Mathilde c.
Creecy in her suit against william B.
Creecy, jr., on the showing made by the
testimony behind closed doors.
The court intimated that should fu-
ture exigencies require further action
in the case, it will be possible to get
some other order However, it was
made plain that young Creecy would not
be compelled to support his wife under
present conditions.
"There is nothing in the evidence that
is commendatory to either of you," de-
clared Justice Wright. addressing the
youthful couple. Both of you were at

Scores Husband.
Turning to the dapper defendant, the
justice spoke severely about the cele-
bration in the fashionable cafe on
New Year Eve, and his leaving his
wife and going home by himself. The
court said:
''You acted like a cad rather than a
man, when you left your young wife
half drunk with a man who seemed
to be making love to her. If you had
remained, there would have been no
ride home in a cab and its conse-
quences."
The court expressed regret that such
an unfortunate condition confronted
him, but held that the evidence did not
justify his awarding separate main
tenance although any misconduct by
the wife had been condoned by the

Referring to the dispute between the
couple as to where they should live,
at the home of her mother, Mrs. Marie
c. Paine, or at his fathers residence,
Justice Wright declared:
THE law does not contemplate that a
wife can pick out a place to live and
then make her husband pay for it, A
husbands right in this matter cannot
be overridden, so the question of deser-

NEW YORK. Nov. 9. 10


Although the excitement of presi
dental campaign has passed and its
outcome resulted in consonance with
the wishes and votes of probably ma
iority of the trade members, the activ
ity in the market by no means reflected
a satisfaction with the change of the
economic policies certain to come with
the assumption of the national power
by the new administration. Business
is dragging along mostly in small guam
titles. The speculative vim of invest
ment seems to have exhausted inself
all in securing blocks of this years
Wisconsin and Connecticut crops while
still in the sheds. For blocks of the
seasoned and merchantable leaf of last
years crops there doesn't seem to be
any demand at all, at least not for the
present. Nor is there a larger demand
likely to spring up for the balance of
the year. Factories naturally will be
rushed yet during the month and are
likely to be busy replenishing decimat-
ed holiday orders for part of the next
month and then the holidays and inven-
tory time will intervene before trade
can start up again in the new year.
Only the Havana market seems to be
in a livelier position. j ouInal.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. 5, 1912
The damp incident to last Fridays
rain was taken advantage of by Con-
necticut valley tobacco growers to take
down several thousand acres Of the new
crop. Growers have made the most of
the damp, as we'll as the damp of the
previous week, with the result that the
amount of tobacco available for the
warehouses is unusually large for this
season. Only few weeks ago predic-
tions We're general that the lateness of
the crop as whole would delay the
beginning of operations in the ware
houses.
Warehouse work is under way in
many establishments and the feeling is
general that the average grower who
sold his crop before it had been har-
vested will lose no time in delivering
the tobacco. If by any chance tobacco
prices should slump in the next few
weeks a part of the growers would
probably find themselves in the same
predicament they have been in on other
occasions when crash came, that is,
with their tobacco on their hands and
unstable except at prices considerably
lower than it had been bargained for.
The foregoing does not apply to the
large, well-financed firms and individ-
uals who have been buying tobacco in
the Connecticut valley for years, nor
to the former subsidiaries of the Amer
ican Tobacco Co., which have bought
the major part of the new crop.

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 6, 1912.
If anybody could tell the local pack
ers what the new tobacco crop of Lam
caster county is likely"to sell at he
would be conferring a favor and re-
lieve them of a considerable amount of
anxiety.
Some buying was done by represent
atives of the United Cigar Manufac-
turers Co., usually the first to begin
buying in this county; S. Rossin & Sons
of New York and Bondy & Lederer. 1t
would be with extreme reluctance that
our packers would begin buying, for
they are not ready for it. In the first
place they have big lot of old goods
on hand, most of the 1911 crop, some
1910 and lot of 1909.
1t is the general desire of local pack
ers to hold off buying until after the
crop has been stripped, when it can be
bought entirely on its merits. To buy
it on the lath, before it is nearly
through curing, would be q very risky
proposition.
The weather since the bulk of the
1911 tobacco was cut around the first
of October has really heen Of most
remarkabl character, exactly suited
for the curing of tobacco. Very little
of what has been sold brought over ten
cents, and none over ten and half, so
far as reported.

The buying movement, so far as it
relates to the cheaper grades of the
crop, has suffered decline since the
price reached an cent figure for stem
ming goods, and a good many buyers
have been recalled from the field. Con-
tracts fonthe.better grades, too. are not
being placed very freely. The follow
ing are some of the late transactions:

The first casing season since the crop
was cured came early in the week dur
ing which the hanging leaf reached a
condition so that some portion of a
good many sheds has been taken down,
permitting start to be made in strip
ping. The early crops might safely be
taken from the sheds if growers were
prepared to care for it at this time.
The market for old leaf shows no
new features except there continues an
excellent demand for all grades of a
binder nature. A few small packings
have recently been disposed of by local
dealers. Frank Baines, Janesville leaf
dealer, sold 350cs lot of 1910 goods.
Joe Holton of Pleasant Springs sold a
23cs crop of II to an Evansville dealer.
The shipments out of storage reach
about $50 cases for the week to all
points from this market.

Now that the election is over and it
is we'll assured that Wilson will be sup
ported by Democratic senate as well
as an overwhelmingly Democratic
house, every one is interested in the
prospect of tariff revision, trust pros
ecution, reform Legislation and other
events on the Democratic program. No
trade is likely to be subjected to more
legislation than the tobacco industry,
in all its branches. 1t is interested in
the tariff both on the raw material and
the finished product. 1t has now not
one great trust to contend with but
half a dozen or more combinations,
whose capital stock and securities run
from $25, ,O0O,0O to 500, 900 or
more In this respect it is very much
in the condition of the steel industry
before the organization of the United
States Steel Corporation. Always par
tial to the farmers who produce tobac-
co, the Democrats have, on every pos
sible occasion, betrayed their hostility
to the manufacturer and his interests,
and now that they have all branches of
the government, or will have after
March 4, 1913, it is naturally expected
that they will undertake to put over
some of the propositions which they
have previously ady anced This may
not be the case, however, for many a
politician advocates for campaign pur-
poses what he does not expect to see
enacted into law and which, if it comes
to showdown, he is unwilling to sup
port with his vote. At the same time
the internal revenue taxes on tobacco
are fixed in the tariff acts. On several
occasions the Democrats have mani
tested an inclination to increase these
taxes and now that they are IN
power it is more than likely some step
in this direction will be taken, espec-=
ialy as if they reduce the tariff there
may be a corresponding reduction in
the revenue of the country which will
have to be made up in some manner by
an increase in the rates of internal tax
alton, and tobacco is always IN line.
Some time ago reference was made In
this dispatch to bill by Representa-
tive Warburton. to raise money to pave
all the roads of the country III due
course of time by increasing the taxes
on tobacco and its products. This is
only one of the many fantastic schemes
which will be presented to congress
and if the tobacco trade gets out OF the
melee without having its protection re-
duced on the one hand and its taxes in
creased on the other it will be very
lucky trade indeed. = u. S. Tobacco

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


A significant feature in the move
ment of the 1912 crop is that the
cheaper end of the crop, purchased for
stemming purposes, has brought the
highest prices ever known for these
grades of tobacco. The price of low
grades has been each year gradually
creeping up until Z and even Scents
straight has been freely paid for to-
bacco that eventually will be turned
into stemming stock. Ordinarily fill
ers, hail cut, shed burn and damaged
leaf furnishes the stock known gener-
ally as low grades that is stemmed for
cutting purposes of the scrap manu-
facturers, sold usually at low figures,
but the increasing demand and scarcity
of available stock have set new price
for this class of Wisconsin tobacco.
Another fact not generally known is
that for this purpose Wisconsin leaf is
preferred by the manufacturers be-
cause of the light character of the leaf
which easily absorbs the 1avoring used
by the scrap manufacturers. Hence
there is reason while the market for
'sscrap tobaccos'' expands that the raw
leaf should correspondingly advance
under the law of supply and demand.
-
The most gratifying feature Of the
condition above described is the per-
manence it gives for remunerative
market to the tobacco growers of this
state When the farmer is assured OF
receiving from 6 to cents for crop
Of tobacco that might be hail cut,
storm broken, frosted or shed dam
aged, he is practically insured in case
these disasters overtake him for he is
pretty sure to get the cost of produc~
ing the crop in any event, and better
profit if he escapes them. The condi-
tion places tobacco growing upon a
safe commercial footing that no other
crop can hardly equal. When these
facts are more fully understood we look
ito see the area devoted to this crop ex-
1pand until the Wisconsin acreage more
Tally meets the demand of the binder
trade Of the country. With New Eng
lang growers devoting their attention
more to producing wrapper leaf, Wis
consin will have a greater field to sup
ply with binder leaf, and as the manu-
featuring of cigars each year increases
so will the market for our tobacco un-
less the price demanded is prohibitive.
There is limit, however, to the price
of Wisconsin leaf if it hopes to supply
the growing binder market, but if kept
within reasonable bounds there is ap-
parently no reason why greater trade
may not be expected.
