WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, June 27, 1913.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, June 27, 1913.
This has been the busy week Of che
year with the tobacco growers, who
are exercising every effort to get the
crop transplanted to the fields while
every condition has favored this work,
that is now drawing to a close. July
1st will see the contemplated acreage
very generally planted and frequent
rains have helped get an early roofing
of the fields, so that growers are
pleased with the prospects of fine
start towards another crop. The early
set fields are showing up exceptionally
well with very few missing plants.
The cured leaf market is barren of
much business except in small way
to meet the pressing needs of manu-
facturers. The only transaction of
note in some weeks is the sale of 800
case lot of II by Halverson & Bitters,
Stoughton packers, to Spitzner.
Sampling in a moderate way has
been commenced, but for natural sweat
packings it is considered too early for
satisfactory results.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 400 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

NEW YORK, June 18, 1913.

There has been rather less activity in
the domestic cigar leaf market in the
past few days certainly so far as sales
are concerned. Attention has been
turned to the new Connecticut Broad
leaf, and the packers samples that
have been displayed have been eagerly
scrutinized. AS noted in last week s
Tobacco Leaf, one packing has been
disposed of, and several others have
been under negotiation in the past few
days. The warm weather is reported
to have forwarded the growing crops
considerably, and in every state that
grows cigar leaf tobacco good start
has been made. Leaf.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June IL, 1913.
Splendid progress has been made the
past week in transplanting the Connec-
ticut valley tobacco crop. The close of
the present week will see most of the
crop in the fields. The week has been
marked by the first summer heat of the
year. The contrast is decidedly sharp
in view of the fact that in Suffield and
other towns frost damage was reported
last week. One Sufield grower is said
to have had forty acres of tobacco
nipped by frost and the greater part of
the plot will require resetting. Plants
under cloth are making fine progress
and sun-grown tobacco is attaining a
good stand. The soil is dry and rain is
badly needed throughout the valley.

On December 29, 1910, decree issued
by Napoleon created the Tobacco Reggie
and reserved to the national govern
ment monopoly of the importation,
manufacture and sale of tobacco in all
its forms. 1t was estimated that this
monopoly would add SO, 100000 francs
to the annual receipts from taxation.
While this expectation was not imme-
diately realized, few years later the
estimate was more than met. The rev.
enues from that source have continued
to increase as the practice of smoking
has become more general, and the con-
sumption of high-grade cigars and
cigarettes has been augmented with
the increased luxury of living.

A Word to the Wise.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
It seems the campaign against the
commissioners is being conducted
with very great delicacy. Three
things are specific enough and those
making complaint evidently believe
they have the evidence. More than
this is the vague demand for law
abiding city. We are, 1t is evident
now, carrying the burden of something
more than the usual burden and risk
OF property ownership. II owners are
to suffer, then certain others. 1t has
been somewhat boastingly sent out
that Keokuk real estate has been ad-
vanced in value something like ST..
100000. Then 1t has been announced
that street improvements will con-
tinue to be built. But somehow you
do not see real estate correspondingly
enthused. This can not be acct
dental. The report Of state values
certainly does not warrana the as
sumed advance In values In Keokuk.
indeed this report goes long ways
to overcome any presumption there
may have been in favor of Keokuk's
boasted advance. Besides it Is not
clear that the three specific grounds
are the real reasons for a campaign
now. 1t can not be assumed that the
facts presented at series OF meet
ings and brought before readers both
within and without the city are for
gotten. The state OF affairs may and
'it may not justify the recall, but that
people can act In some way when they
are informed can hardly be question
ed. Not all assertions of facts need
proof. Under the commission form OF
government the city is still under
state law and so the phenomenal rise
In value may not seem over the state
q normal rise. If 1t is a Dom rise It
lis open to question who is booming
and why and for what and how is II
done, etc. The mere adoptions of the
Nolan plan will not justify rise in
value. The plan can wait or If i'm.
provements are made they can be
paid for in such installments as can
be placed on property valued on the
state basis, for which ample reasons
fof a fairly good sort have been freely
given out. A desire to build or ex.
pand is not of itself good sort OF
reason for values and none can come
that way from or to property owners

rhree Members Of Iowa Dep. mt Of

addresses In Court Room
Last Night.
TELL OF THE NEW LAWS
instruct Local Merchants In Regard
to New Weights and Measures
Laws Passed by Legis-
laAre Recently.

W. B. Barney, commissioner, and two
other members OF the Iowa department
Of weights and measures made
addresses in the superior court room
last night before an audience com
posed chiefly Of the members Of the
local grocers association, butchers and
other retail merchants of the city The
addresses were made for the purpose
Of explaining to the local merchants
the exact meaning Of the new laws
passed by the state legislature in re-
gard to weights and measures and in
instructing the merchants in what
ways they could best carry out the pur.
pose Of these laws.
dress he explained that the weight
and measure laws and the business OF
the department which enforced them
was really OF greater benefit to the
honest merchant than to the consumer
although of course both were greatly
benefited.
Mr.. Barney talked at some length
about the condition of the diaries in
the state. He stated that the 1900, 600
cows in the state were producing a
yearly average Of only 140 pounds OF
butter fat per head. BY the installa-
ton of creameries and the improve
ment of dairy conditions in general
this could easily be raised he said, at
least 100 pounds per head, bringing to
the state of Iowa an additional income
of s37,000,000 a year.
Mr.. Barney said that they had ex.
perienced very little trouble with the
merchants in enforcing sanitary con-
ditions and that. the most Of their
prosecutions against merchants had
been on account OF bad eggs being
sold.
Must Sell by Pound.
E. W. Van Duyn, chief inspector Of
weights and measures then made a
short address and eplaxined to the
meeting what effect the new laws
would have in the selling of groceries
by the measure. No dry measure of
more than one quart and less than one
bushel will be sold on the dry measure
scale in the future, he explained, but
Will be sold by the pound. Other mat
tiers In regard to the new weight and
measure laws were also gone over
and carefully explained.
Deputy Dairy and Food Inspector
NJ. E. Flynn next went over some OF
the laws regarding in particular the
cold storage. He explained in detail
what laws grocers and shop keepers
had generally mis-interpreted or disre-
garded, and gave some timely hints in
regard to obeying these provisions.
Before the meeting closed a general
discussion was taken part in by all
present and number of questions
sun hazy in the minds of the audience
were taken up and discussed
Mr.. Barney and his assistants go
from here today to Ottumwa where
they will hold another meeting similar

Wool Growers Not Hurt

Sheep owners should not be alarmed
over the report that Australian ennis
saries are here looking owe the COM
mercial possibilities and especially
congratulating themselves on the pros
poets of selling more wool here after
the duty shall be removed. More WOOL
en- clothing is needed In this climate
than the people have Of late years been
able to afford, and If wooden goods are
cheaper more of them will be worn.
AS to prices. there are many varieties
of wool and many of garments, and In
producing the latter there are great
advantages in mixtures Of the former.
Australian wool is largely imported for
mixing with domestic. and the effect Of
removing the duty from foreign wool
may be to increase the demand for the
domestic.
