Some old goods were sold last week,
and some 1909 of good quality, to be
sure, brought eighteen cents. This
price was, of course, exceptional for
this packing, for these goods have been
selling at from twelve to sixteen and a
half cents, with more at fourteen and
a half cents than above that figure.
More of these goods are being bought
by manufacturers outside of the county
than is suspected.
The 1910 tobacco has brought as high
as nineteen and twenty cents, but not
many sales, and these of small lots,
were reported the past week.
The continued wet weather kept the
growers from blowing their fields and
getting ready for planting, and the seed
beds were held back, too, by lack of
sunshine. However, lot of plants
will be ready for setting out in another
week or ten days, and unless the un-
favorable weather continues right along
considerable planting will be done the
last week in May. It will not De until
June is pretty we'll advanced, however,
that planting will have become general.

Nothing stirring has occurred in the
leaf market during the week as even
the convention could not be character
lied by that attribute. 1t was merely
diversion, and as such it may have
helped to contribute to the cheer of the
leaf fraternity. No news is generally
considered to be good news. 1t seems
to be so in respect to the condition of
the leaf market. For trading goes
along without any upheavals, big or
small, with proportionate distribution
all around. Stocks are therefore dwin-
ding and the new crops are certain to
find welcome reception in the fall.
The binder stock is about the scarcest
in the market, and the stock Of the
good, serviceable portion of domestic
wrapper leaf, both primed and shade
grown, is being thinned out, too. Su-
matra is selling freely, continuing to
give general satisfaction. That both
the shade-grown and Sumatra are being
in continuous demand and are finding
ready purchasers would appear to be
sufficient proof that they rather supple
ment each other in the needs of the
manufacturer than play the role of
deadly rivals. The Havana market re-
| mains unchanged.
Among the cigar manufacturers gen
eral poor business complaints are still
being heard, but with the cheaper
grade manufacturers the complaint is
not as audible as with the Clear Ha-
vana and Seed and Havana factories.
| The inclement weather conditions more
| than anything else are blamed by the
| manufacturers for the dull business

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May IA, 1912.
Rain fell five days last week and the
present week began with vigorous
downpour. Weather permitting, few
growers will begin transpla1ting the
last of this week, but the number will
be limited for the sufficient reason that
plants of requisite size will be limited
and only small part of the tobacco
lands have been ploWed.
Experienced growers recall that some
seasons which have had unusual rain
fall at the outset have retained the
characteristic to the end. Such sea-
son occurred in 1897-the year in which
hundreds of acres of tobacco were lit
erally drowned" and the leaves turned
yellow before ripening. In recent years
drought has caused growers more con-
cern than the opposite condition.
Shaded tobacco in particular is likely to
suffer in a year of too much moisture.
On the other hand, with favorable
weather in the next few weeks the new
crop will be started in the fields under
most auspicious conditions.
The first hail storm of the season
swept through the valley last Thursday
afternoon. Hailstones as large as wal
nuts fell in Franklin county, Mass, and
in Poouonock and other Connecticut
towns. Not plant was in the fields,
and so far as can be learned seed beds
were not damaged. A storm Of similar
furv few weeks later would cause the
loss of hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, MAY "a, 1912.

EDGERToN, WIS, May "a, 1912.
There is a struggling business yet
being done in the movement of lifting
the remaining fraction of last season s
crop, which must shortly come to a
close because only scattering lots are
left in first hands. The trading too is
mainly done at sacrifice prices. There
is also yet some warehouse work to be
done and few houses will be in opera
tion for a few weeks longer. Where
examinations have been made the
packed goods are found to be sweating
satisfactorily.
Few changes are noted in the market
for old leaf. The Loomis packing at
Windsor of some 500 cases of 10 is
reported sold. A 40 case lot of 10
was also disposed of by a local packer.
The heavy rains of late have put the
farmers back in their corn planting
and promises to make hustling times in
preparing the soil for another crop.
The plant beds are needing sun instead
of moisture and complaints are heard
that plants are rotting in early beds.
The shipments out of storage reach
442cs from this market to all points
for the week past. Since last report
A car loads have been received for
warehouse handling.

IMPROVE FREIGHT SPEED
FROM EAST TO WEST N. c.
1. Effort of Corporation commission
Shippers Requested to Make
Prompt Complaints.

Upon complaints having come TO the
corporation commission from time to
time of the slow movement OF less
than carload shipments of freight be-
tween eastern and western North
Carolina and intermediate points, the
commission has recently taken this
matter up vigorously with the higher
pany, insisting that these lines Of
road, constructed primarily for the
convenience Of interchange Of traffic
between eastern and western North
Carolina, should not be diverted by
congestion Of through traffic OIL by
any other consideration, from serving
this primary purpose, and it is the
hat prompt and expeditions freight
service be given for interchange Of
products from point to point in this
State.
The commission Is convinced that
there would be a much greater inter-
change of products between these sec
tons If the public was assured Of
prompt freight service. The commits
sion is now assured by the officers Of
the Southern Railway that
they are going to give especial atten-
ton to the prompt handling of freight
shipments between these W. sections,
and that every reasonable means will
be adopted TO facilitate the handling
of such shipments, and that a local
shipment from their extreme western
lines in this State to their eastern
lines in this State should be handled
III about three days.
The commission desires to call this
matter to the attention of the ship
ping public and to suggest that they
enter freely into the interchange Of
products by freight service between
these two sections, relying upon rea-
SOnably prompt transportation ser
vice, and that they give the commits
sion the benefit of specific complaints
as to any shipments between these
two sections which is not transported
promptly. with copy Of bill Of lading
covering such shipments, SO that there
may be Investigation Of every ship
ment IN which there is ground fol
reasonable complaint of delay ir

The enlistment of the national pro-

There will be no special effort made
