A crying shadow along the foam;
Once was gull in the swing on the

Over green shadows I hung all day,
Till sunset carried me home.
Once | was ship with glorious sails
That leapt to the love of the wind,
Up over the edge of the world I fled,
Sun followed and fleet foam heralded
The hidden tides knew my mind.
But now | am only girl who runs,
A laughing pagan with tnagled hair.
Plower and gull and ship was l.
Perchance when my body comes to ii,
Ny soul shall again fly fair.

NEW YORK. Jan. 6, 1912.


After stock-taking and summing up
the results of the year just closed con-
ferences between the manufacturing
heads and the men who hustle the
brands on the road have monopoliZed
interest in the local factories. By the
end of the week a good many of the
statesmen were already back on the road
ready to drum the trade for orders, and
generally speaking they start out with
plenty of confidence. A round of the
leading factories convinced the writer
that the manufacturing spirit of the
moment is "Boost or bust" We are in
for strenuous year, vigorous fight
for business, in which only the enter
prising can hope to succeed. Most of
the factories were working along just
as usual on Wednesday and all the
larger concerns sailed right along from
Tuesday morning, having substantial
orders to fill which would admit of no
delay. 1t is little too soon to size up
the jobbing situation, but the number
of telegraphic orders already to hand
is encouraging. The general impression
at the local factories is confirmatOry Of
the dispatches from the various resi-
dent correspondents of the United
States Tobacco Journal noting strong
er holiday movement of goods than the
trade has enjoyed for some time. The
next few weeks will decide whether
the prevalent optimism is justified.
Changes among the men on the road
are few, the vast majority of the
houses being satisfied with the work
done by their representatives during
twelve months which offered very little
scope for record d-breaking coups. =

GAYS MILLS, Wis, Jan. 5, 1912.
The first crop delivered this year at
Gays Mills was brought in by L. D.
Mcpherson on Friday, Dec. 20. He
had but one-half an acre by actual
measurement, and was paid therefor
$131.0 05.
Ole Solum of Utica took home nice
roll the same day, Friday, receiving
$475.60 from q acre crop. Price IA

Earl Guernsey of the West Fork of
Knapps Creek delivered 2 acre crop
on Saturday for which he received
$518.O6.
Theodore Johnson of Utica delivered
his 4 acre crop Saturday, receiving
$769.S0.
j. W. Rubin of Gays Mills delivered
the largest crop brought in thus far
this season. He raised acres on the
B. H. Twining farm south of town and
delivered it Saturday, which at 143c
per pound brought $500.
The Mcintosh warehouse opened on
Tuesday of this week with crew of
about thirty sorters at work under the
management of Chas. Mooney of Ed

BekkedaPs representatives were here
the latter part of last week and super
idtended the loading of the Bekkedal
packing of 1910, 815 cases, into cars,
shipping it to various points for stor-
age. The packing made thirteen car
loads in all, and was shipped out so as
to give Mr.. Pomeroy possession of his
warehouse by Jan. l. We understand
that he will put up a packing owned by
himself this winter.

week previous, the buyers are out in
force In fact, it may be said they are
doing more drying than buying. This
is due to the unwillingness Of some to
pay the farmers the prices they ask,
while large number of the latter are
found who will not sell until their crops
are stripped. The continuance of the
damp weather has enabled the growers
to get down the bulk of their tobacco
and in another week it should be pretty
near all ready for market. The pack
ers say they have found quite large
amount of very nice tobacco, really
more than they expected, and it IS
these crops which are going to bring
the growers good prices. They know
they have the goods and they can af-
ford ito wait until the packers come to
their terms. 1t must be said, however,
that considerable acreage has been
bought at ten and three cents. The
United people have been able to buy
up large number of crops at that fig
ure, and other dealers have done the
same 1t is reported that some dealers
have resorted to the ''bonus" to induce
farmers to sell at the ten-cent figure
and the Involvement" has brought the
results in a number of cases, it is as
serted. Some large firms have set the
price they will pay for 1911 at ten
cents and they will not go above that
price if they can help it. In addition
to the United, the American Tobacco
Co. and the Eisenlohrs are in the buy
ing field now and with the majority Of
the others also at work the tobacco
farmers will hold the center of interest
for some time to come.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS. Jan. u. 1912.

EDGERTON, Wis, Jan. II, 1912.
The tobacco business has been SER
iously hampered by the severe cold
wave that has held in its grasp the
entire middle west for the past ten
days. Owing to interrupted railway
traffic several warehouses find them
selves short of stock and compelled to
lay off help for time The receiving
of tobacco in zero weather also has it's
drawbacks as we'll as its discomforts.
The bundles come frozen, making it
impossible to examine them on delivery
and the buyer might as we'll shut his
eyes as to try and determine the quail
ity of the goods he is receiving. Only
such crops are taken in under these
circumstances as is necessary to keep
the warehouses in operation snd then
it takes two or three days of thawing
out of the bundles before the tobacco
is ready for the tables. The disposi-
tion to postpone the receiving is be-
coming more apparent every day as the
dealers see what they are up against.
The market for old goods is moving
along in quiet ways, the sales being
confined mainly to small orders, though
the demand for good binder stock far
exceeds the supply held in local hands.
And. Jenson & Sons report the sale of
141cs of 'O6.
The shipments out of storage has
been somewhat interrupted by the cold
weather and do not exceed 300 cases
for the week. Fifteen car loads have
been received from outlying points for
warehouse handling since last report.

books.
The principal activity was along the
lines of buying the new crop and speak
ing on this subject the United States

say:
Not deferred by the fact that they
must pay eleven cents and even more
for good Lancaster county tobacco, the
local dealers are going after it pretty
rapidly. While the buying has not
been as brisk this week as last and the
