NEW ORh, y dIl. II, 101A.
Business in the leaf market seems to
be responding to present needs which,
however, do not appear to be as yet IN
full swing. The chief demand for the
present is for the shade-grown Connec-
ticut which seems to have caught the
fancy of the manufacturer, and which,
therefore, is likely to become a rapid
seller. The crowd is after it, and
crowd has curious attraction of
amassing numbers. The shade-grown
Connecticut has set the fashion last
year, and it seems as if this fashion
would be kept up during the current
year. AS long as this fashion lasts the
shade-grown will undoubtedly make
inroads into the use Of the Sumatra,
but the latter has by no means lost its
prestige. For even in the midst of a
booming rush for the shade-grown one
Sumatra importing house sold 112 bales
of Sumatra to an out-of-tOwn manu-
featuring concern, and other Sumatra
transactions, if not of such considerable
size, are steadily taking place. The
binder situation has not improved nor
is it likely to improve. Although the
Wisconsin crop last year was very
large one the bulk of it was very seri-
ously damaged, chiefly by the grass
hopper plague, and most of what really
turned out to be good and service
able crop, particularly in the northern
counties, was early in the season COB
bled up by few of the large manu-
featuring concerns. But the damaged
crop has almost all disappeared in it's
absorption by the tobacco manufactur-
ers, who paid for it on an average of z
cents. If such price has been paid
for the trash, it is easily imaginable
that the price for the sound crop, con-
sidered to be one of the best in years,
will exceed the figure of many previ-
Gus year. To filler tobaccos the mar
ket seems to be at present Indifferent.
The 1911 Pennsylvania and Ohio being
inferior to the 1910 crops, the holders
of the latter are in no hurry to dispose
of their stocks even at prevalent mar
ket prices. Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. 2, 1912.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Feb. Z, 1917.
The receiving of the tobacco crop
contracted for some months ago is still
the principal business of the local mar
kets. There is some improvement no.
ticeable in the condition of the tobacco
as it comes to the warehouses, though
the most surprising thing yet is the un-
usual yield, ranging from 1900 to 1900
pounds and more per acre. Any crop
of Wisconsin leaf that packs up over
four cases to the acre is an exception.
The P. Lorillard Co. received about
100000 pounds from growers in this
section this week, the bulk of which is
stored here for stemming purposes.
Warehouse work is proceeding as rap
idly as possible with full complement
of help at most of the packing points.
The trade in old leaf is moving along
quiet lines, the orders being mostly for
small lots. H. T. Sweeney reports the
sale of about 100 cases for the week of
'07 and 10 goods.
The shipments out of storage reach
GIT cases and car loads to all points
for the week. Since last report 40 car
loads were received from outside points
for warehouse handling.

Prices have not changed from those
last reported. The market is firm and
materially lower prices are not gener-
ally looked for. So large part of the
1911 crop has been sold that interest in
prices by growers is not so keen as it
was a few months ago. There is moth
ing in the situation to warrant the
higher prices which some growers con-
fidently expect will prevail before the
1912 crop comes in the market.
There will be large increase in the
acreage of tobacco insured against hail
this year. Strong companies entered
the field last season for the first time.
One Hartford company admits that it
paid out in hail losses in 1911 about
twice the amount it received in prem
iums-$5 per acre insurance against
maximum loss of $3.50 per acre. The
company proposes to remain in the fed
in the belief that more farmers will
take out hail insurance and that it is
unlikely to meet with such losses as oc-
Cured last year oftener than once in
decade.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a, 1912.

The event of the week in the domes-
tic cigar leaf market has been the ap-
pearance of the new Connecticut shade
grown. A number of sales have been
reported, and this crop seems likely to
be very popular one. A number of
cigar manufacturers have been expert
menting for several weeks with the
new wrappers, and, so far as can be
learned, highly satisfactory results
have been achieved. The tobacco is all
that could be desired in the way of ap-
pearance, and the burn is excellent.
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Broadleaf
also figured extensively in the sales of
the week, which was the first of the
year that could be reported active

VIRoQUA, WIS, Jan. "a, 1912.

With countenances beaming because
of satisfactory returns from their to-
bacco crops there is cheerfulness in
the tone of every grower one meets.
The agriculturists have prospered as in
no other year, and they confess as much
and all declare that they want no
change in present industrial conditions.
Good sleighing makes it easy for them
to deliver their products, and tobacco
and grain laden vehicles are process
sion through Viroqua's streets from
Monday till Saturday each week. The
warehouses are receiving large quanti-
ties of goods and outside dealers are
making heavy shipments to other
points. Censor.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. %, 1912.
Another good damp is needed to en-
able Connecticut valley growers to take
down tobacco which will soon be want
ed in the warehouses. Last Fridays s
rain was cold affair, the thermometer
being scarcely above freezing point and
quickly falling after the rain ceased.
most of previous damps and took down
their entire crops, so that the packing
houses have sufficient tobacco on hand
for immediate requirements. The prin-
cipal sufferers from the long spell of
dry weather are growers owning to-
bacco still in the barns, who, of course,
lose the use of the money which is tied
up until their crops are delivered. The
weather conditions do not greatly in
terest the farmer who has not sold his
crop and AYERS that he does not intend
to at present prices.

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. "a, 1912. :
Most of the new crop of Lancaster
county has been stripped, fully 40 per
cent has been sold and lot delivered.
The packers say the growers have been
very careless in the stripping, and a
lot of it is said to be dirty, but ] have
not yet heard of any docking ror of a
single delivery being sent back home
Whatever the trade may say or think
about the new crop, the fact remains
that the packers want it and are buy

The slayer worked quickly and quietly.
Neighbors believe they were chloro-
formed to make his scheme of death
the more sure and safe. Mrs. Cora
Pryor. who lives next door east. said
who works nights for the railway, at
O'Clock her head ringing with head
ache and the nausea of chloroform.
The children complained also. she said.
HUdsOns Welcomed Him.
Then she told of Hudson's strange
visitor of the night before. She de-
scrtbed the mans appearance and spoke
or his ready admittance to the Hud-
son home. She said she did not see
him leave the house. and when she
went to bed about 10 o'clock Wednes-
day night the Hudson home was dark.
He was the huge man with a Swedish
cast of face and head, who is believed
to have been the last person to see the
Hudsons alive.
Sheriff'S Work Clumsy.
Criticism has been directed against
the sheriffs office for allowing the
bedding found with the
bodies to be burned late Thursday
night. Fingerprints and letters may
have been burned. Marion Chandler
sheriff, was reticent regarding the case,
further than to say he had not found
the letter which it is said was one Of
the causes of Rollin Hudson's latest
from his wife, which, it is
would divulge the identity of
her alleged affinity The belief is the
etter contained threat for Hudson.

ONLY EXPECTED TWO.
Colonel Roosevelt Is But Little Disap-
pointed Over Alabama Contests.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, June S.-"Justice
and no more than justice" is all he
committee, Colonel Roosevelt said.
After hearing what happened in Chi
cago, when the contests from Alabama
were decided by the committee, the
former president spoke as though he
were we'll satisfied with the Sitlation.
Colonel Roosevelt indicated that it
was his purpose to give his managers
a free hand in fighting for contested
delegates and would trust to their
judgment. At all times, however, he
will keep in touch with the fight as
each move is made, by means of his
private telegraph and telephone wires
to Chicago. So far as the Alabama
contests are concerned, he said he was
willing to abide by whatever decisions
his men in Chicago reached.
They know the details and DON'T
he explained. ST told my managers
before they went to Chicago" he
the delegate contests to be decided for
me that 1 was not entitled to. L said
1 wanted justice and no more than
justice.
I'm Alabama I thought one district
was for me-
The colonel reached into an inside
pocket and cautiously extracted long
sheet of paper. Then he hunted
through his other pockets until he
found an envelope. He carefully I'M
folded the sheet of paper and placed
the envelope over it in such a way
that only the first typewriter line was
visible From that line it was appar-
ent that the document contained the
coIoneTs own estimate of the standing
of delegates.
The line read:
"Alabama-Taft. %; Roosevelt, g."
"I don't think I care to show you
the rest of this" said the colonel,
smiling but you can see that I had
not counted on more than two dele
gates from Alabama"
Whether Colonel Roosevelt is to go
to Chicago apparently was as far as
ever from being decided. In response |
to all rumors pro and con, he simply |
said he did not know.

IS EASY
Rain in Kansas and Nebraska
Depresses the Market.
Fall Was Light and Prices Did
Not Sag Much.

Chicago, June S.-WHAT-Rain last
night in Kansas and Nebraska gave the
wheat market today an easy tone. How
ever, the moisture was light and prices
did not sag much.
Opening figures were &c to N12sc low
er. September started at S1.O5ss to $1.0574
QlOSB. After a rally to $1.O6A the price
fell back to $1.O5%.
A further dip ensued owing to slackness
OF demand. The close was easy with Sep
TENDER at $1.O55sQ1. O524, just NC under last
night.
CORN-Demand from commission houses
found corn offerings light. No supplies
were available and accordingly the mar
ket became firm. July opened unchanged
at 74asc and assembled to 751sc.
Belief that receipts would be small after
the next week or SO upheld the market.
The close was steady at 743zc for July, a
gain of &c net.
OATS-Cash houses were good buyers
of futures in the oats crowd. July started
a shade off to H@3sc pu to 51hc to 51lsc
and climbed to SIC.
PROVISIONS-Provisio showed some
strength in sympathy with the market for
live hogs. Initial sales varied from last
nights level to PIC higher, with Septem-
Der deliveries $3.50 for pork, $11.10 for lard
and $10621e for ribs.

Arkansas district case would be called
at once if there was no other business.
No objections met this proposal, and
the Arkansas attorneys and contestants
were invited into the room.
The Third Arkansas district repre-
sented another case of two conVen-
lions, both held in the same hall, the
one appointed for the meeting. The
Taft delegates were headed by r. S.
Granger of Eureka Springs and the
Roosevelt delegates by Tom Williams
of Rogers.
With outward peace lowering over
its committee room and suppressed
excitement filling the halls outside,
the Republican national committee re-
sumed the hearing of Arkansas dele
gate contests.
Rumors of an intended protest from
of the actions in yesterdays commit
early part of the session. There were
no motions made, and the committee
took up the contest hearing at once.
Senator Borah, who has been thus
far the spokesman for the anti-Taft
forces, was not in the committee
room when the roll was called. ]. T.
Tawney of Minnesota was admitted on
a proxy.
State Senator VIM. Finn of Pitts
burg, who came on to assist in the
Roosevelt battle, had not appeared at
the Coliseum.
