The leaf market will undoubtedly be
surprised to learn that the cigar out
put throughout the country during the
month of August was by over eight
million less than during the same month
last year, as evidenced by the stamp
returns. The diminished output, how
ever, does not seem to have affected
the leaf market, which is normal and
seasonable. The greatest demand is
manifested for binder leaf, but great
disappointment has cropped out in re-
gard to the Wisconsin, the chief binder
reliance for our cigar industry. For
the sampling of that crop is being de-
layed by the necessity of cleaning it,
as a considerable portion of it is re-
ported to have come out of the sweat
in mouldy condition. Packers are
therefore busy now mostly with remov-
ing the infected portions and repacking
the sound leaf. The loss to the packers
through this process must prove con-
siderable, and is bound to embrace pro-
portionately the price of the clean and
sound packings. What this price is ul-
timately likely to be cannot be forecast
as yet. But no matter what the price
may be the clean and sound Wisconsin
is likely to GO off into consumption as
quickly as the resampled tobacco will
prove marketable. A growing demand
seems to have risen for the Pennsyl-
vania, and even some purchases of this
years Havana seed crop are being re-
ported already. The late rains have
also proved Of great benefit for this
years broadleaf crop. journal.

Fifty per cent. at least, of Lancas-
ter county's tobacco crop, or half a
crop as it really is, has already been
cut and housed. And it must be added,
with regret, that very much of it has
been put away green, in spite of all the
urging of local dealers against cutting
unripe tobacco. A cold snap and avery
light frost, which did no damage, gave
the growers bad scare, and during
the past week cutting has been gen.
eral. The knife from now on will be
used vigorously until the last stalk,
good, bad and Indifferent, has been put
in the shed.
The growers know as well as the
packers that such tobacco will not make
desirable goods, but they were willing
to take chances of procuring an infer
ior article rather than take the chances
of losing everything by heavy frost.
Some of the packers predict another
1909 crop, but it is hardly likely to be
as bad as that, for bad as the past sea
son has been for growing, the condi-
tions were better than during that i'll
fated year. A lot of this years crop
will be as good as any tobacco raised,
but the acreage of such plants is linn
tied, and there will be far more me-
dunn and poor tobacco than the good.
So far there has been no buying of the
new crop, nor is there likelihood Of any
being bought until it has been cured
and stripped, and stripped clean.

New YORK. Sept. "a. 1913.

The similarity Of the 1912 Wisconsin
crop tu that of 1906 becomes more ap-
parent as time passes. The similarity
extends further than merely to the
character of the tobacco and applies to
the manner in which it will affect the
packer and manufacturer as well. The
portion that is good is exceedingly good
and will please the manufacturer in all
except price. That the packers, how
ever, stand a very poor chance to real
ize profit on their investment is the
opinion of many who have given close
attention to the matter. In the past
week two unfavorable items of tobacco
news have developed. In the Onondaga
section of New York, where the crop is
late and an unusually large proportion
of it still in the fields, frosts have done
much damage. More recently frosts
have appeared in Ohio, and advics re-
ceivad by Water Street houses from
their Miami valley correspondents are
to the effect that fully 20 per cent of
the crop has been injured. Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Oct. 8. 1918.

EDGERToN, Wis, Oct. 3, 1913.
Buyers continue to pick about the
edges and in the aggregate are writing
contracts for few hundred acres of
the new crop, but fas yet no general
movement of the larger operators has
been started and until their buyers are
sent into the field no great amount of
the crop will be lifted. Prices so far
do not rise above the IL cent mark,
while good many sales are quoted
even lower. The following are a few
sample transactions that have come to
notice:
John O. Lee, 15a at 11&33c.
Theo. Kenseth, Ga at 1880.
Ed Williams, 5a at 11&4c.
VIM. Kruckenberg, "a at 11&4c.
G. Kruckenberg, IA at 11&4c.
A. Harried, 3a at 11&4c.
The weather of the week has brought
some warm days favorable to shed cur
ing but three or four weeks of nice
fall weather are needed to help out the
late harvested portion of the crop.
Very few of the packers have their
last seasons samples ready for inspec-
tion and we fail to learn of any sales of
old leaf of Importance.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about 300 cases to all points from
this market since last report.

Totals.

There is a wide variation in size and
quality of the crop, due to local show
ers during the drouthy part Of the sum-
mer. With the scarcity of Wisconsin
filler and binder leaf on the market and
high prices prevailing last year, grow
ers anticipate good remuneration for
the 1913 crop.

The Holmes law which was passed by
the Wisconsin legislature has effective
ly put an end to contracting tobacco IN
the field, if this falls operations are
any criterion. Correspondents say there
have heen no sales and that the asking
prices of farmers are from II cents to
Is cents per pound in the bundle, and 3
cents for filters. Following is the acre

The physical toiler is such be-
cause he cannot help himself.
A partial exulanatio nof this may
be found in the fact that the most
uncongenial tasks are the worst
paid. The other explanation is a
belief in the; silly doctorihe that
the Almighty cursed labor and
conremned man to it. OF course
there's the additional explanation
of laziiness.: 1t is believed that
those who think must govern
those who toll, SO the thinker
must command the highest re-
ward. This is true because the
mere toiler is not an cwpy hrdlu
mere toiler is an inifficient work
man. His education has been
neglected. He must be directed
like the OK and the horse. Physi-
cal work, considered in the ali
stract, consists of the moving If
particles of matter against some
opposing force, or in aid of prev
iously acting forces. All physi-
rs itself either
as a push or a pull, modified by
the lever, the pulley, etc. The
twenty million horses in the Uni
ted States, and the untold number
of engines that are pushing and
pulling, doing work for man, has
not, seemingly, lessened the ne
cessity for the use of mans mus
cles, which remain by far the
most important of all machines.
No machine is ever put in motion
or continues long in operation
without aid supplied by human
muscles.

It took courage Of a peculiar type
to stand up in protest against a

one which expects an official chip

the face, why should members of
congress who weren't among the
intimate friends Of a white house
bride contribute to a present

We venture the guess that if
the president himself had been
consulted he would have agreed
with the protest and would not
have construed it as implying any
lack of courtesy or good will. In
