is SPECULATION FOR FUTURE
Nothing Doing in Tobacco and I'm
certain What Outcome VIII be

For more than month no movement
has been on among buyers to secure the
bulk of Vernon county tobacco crop.
November case weather brought down
very good per cent of hanging weed,
and most of it has been placed in the
bundle. Farmers are anxious to take
down Tire balance and prepare it for
market. Last year all warehouses in
this city and section we're working full
crews of sizers and packers before hol-
iday time. Ii is very uncertain when
work in that line will commence this
winter, no local dealer having secured
sufficient purchases to warrant opening
his warehouse On conditions else
where in the state the Edgerton Tobac
co Reporter comments:
THE holidays coupled with zero
weather have conspired to limit BUSH
ness in tobacco circles. There has been
little or no riding in country districts
during the week, while the Geld wealth
er has CAUSED a suspension of stripping
on the farms to great measure.
Not in recent years has so large a
portion of tobacco crop remained I'M
sold as will be found in growers hands
when new year is ushered in. AT
most the first rush of the buying move
ment has not taken over more than
5000 acres of a crop estimated to run
nearly 1000 acres of Wisconsin leaf.
II is only small per cent of total of
last years production that is now under
contract and buyers are mostly called
out of the field at present. Business
conditions in the tobacco trade are not
at the best and yet statistics show that
the manufactured product shows no
material decline for the past year and
if normal trade is to continue there
is no overproduction of binder leaf
While on the contrary, with the pres
ent crop running so largely to low
grades, there is every reason to be-
lieve Wisconsin binders likely to come
on the market will fall considerably
short of the usual supply.

Reslgned His Honorary Posi-

Some days ago DR. VIM. NJ Trow-
bridge of this city, forwarded his resig-
nation to the governor and Adjutant
General Hollway. as a member of the
national guard, Il surgeon in the state
service with the rank of captain. For
eight years DR.. Trowbridge has held
this honorary, yet responsible post, but
the exactions yearly added in duties
have grown to such an extent that he
felt that he must surrender the place.
AS surgeon he has made good and the
resignation is accepted with regret by
his superiors in the national guard AS
medical officer DR.. Trowbridge has had
as his ward the local hospital corps, and
it is possible this resignation may even
tually mean the removal of that func-
tionary of the guard.
