JuareZ, Mex, May 1S.-General Car
rama telegraphed from Durango tht
news that the constitutionalist gen
eraI, Lucio Blanco, and Rafael Buelns
had taken the city of Topic, capital OIL
the state of that name, after a sever,
engagement lasting more than twenty
four hours.
The number of killed and wounded
was not given in the first chiefs dis
patch. The message also stated that
the constitutionalists had taken the
town of Santiago Excuintlan and the
port of San Bias.
The capture of Topic and San Bias
is regarded as of extreme strategic i'm.
portance, as it will allow the advance
of Gen. Aware Obregon into the state
of Jalisco. San Bias, which is about
midway between Manzanillo and Ma
zatlan, is in close touch with Guadala-
jara, one of the most important cities
of Mexico, and with these two towns
in his possession General Obregon
will be able to close in on the city
from both the north and west.

Durango, Mex, May 1S.-The vul.

General Carranza when the federal
gunboat Morelos, which has been one
of the effective defenses of Mazatlan
against constitutionalist attack, was
forced to put to sea with her upper
works on fire to escape the bombs OF
the constitutionalist aeroplane feet.
The message. which was sent by
General Oregon, stated that the

Torreon, Mex, May 1S.-On the

date of the fall of Saltillo, according
TO constitutionalists in close touch
with movements at the front With
the advance guard, the Zaragoza brig
ade, in possession Of Paredon, and
other bTigades advancing rapidly. but

his goal.
General Villa has sent dispatches
here to the effect that the entire con
stitutionalist army will be in Paredon
by this afternoon and that he will
then begin his advance south toward
Saltillo.
1t is estimated that the real battle
at the latter point cannot possibly be
gin until Wednesday, as the railroad
between Paredo and Saltillo is in bad
condition and most Of the troops will
be obliged to make a 45-mile trip
across the desert.

NEW DIRK, Aug. III, 1914.
In spite, or is it in consequence, of
the European turmoil, the activity in
our leaf market has taken a strong
upward trend. The market for the
past two weeks has been more than
busy recording quite exceptional vol
ume of transactions for the dog-day
season. The chief activity was mani,
tested in wrapper leaf. 1t is being re-
liably reported that over four thousand
boxes of Connecticut broadleaf were
disposed of by a few Water street
houses and seven thousand boxes are
given as total of two weeks trans
actions in this commodity alone. Evi-
dently both manufacturers and jobbers
are on the alert to provide themselves
with a sufficient supply of wrapper
leaf, not only in view of the threatened
curtaiIment of a further supply of Su-
matra, but also of the general nervous
tension over steady rise in all COM
modities. The Sunatra market there
fore was also exceedingly lively. Man
ufacturers are crowding the market to
pick out a supply for their future
wants. And they are stimulated in
their actions by the undoubtedly cor
rect calculation that Sumatra prices
will go up rather than fall Naturally
enough our domestic shade-grown leaf
is in this swift race, too. The out-of-
town buyers have providently con-
tracted for that so we'll now favored
wrapper leaf to meet more than imme-
diate emergencies. Of course, there
was an equal race for binder leaf. But

the strong appetite for it had to be
curbed. journal.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. IS, 1914.

A destructive hail storm swept
through the Onondaga tobacco fields
last Thursday, destroying a majority of
the crops, entailing loss estimated to
the growers of $3.50, 900. Hardly crop
in the entire tobacco section escaped
the hail. Many fields represent total
loss. The blow to the farmers and to-
bacco growers is exceptionally severe
as the devastating hail came at time
when the tobacco was about to be har-
vested.
Observers at Baldwinsville estimated
that at least 600 acres of growing to-
bacco have been destroyed. ]. w. Up
son was one of the principal losers.
His entire crop of 100 acres was rib
boned by the storm. Mr. Upson doubts
even if it is worth while to gather the
tobacco for purposes of scrap.
The crop which has been destroyed
was one of the best in years, many
sections having been grown under gov
ernment supervision. It was leafy and
until the storm assured the growers
exceptionally high prices. Now the to-
bacco is hardly worth salvaging. Sew
eral hundred acres had been contracted
for within ten days previous to the
storm.

The drouth was broken by Saturday
nights downpour of rain and it gave
new life to all vegetation and crops.
1t was especially favorable to tobacco,
giving it renewed start that almost
insures good crop of late goods. This
weeks growth has been remarkable.
In different sections cutting and she'd
ding began last week in a limited way,

Tuesdays storm of the afternoon is
reported to have done great damage to
tobacco south and west of us, from
Victory ridge, Red Mound, through to
Retreat, Rising Sun, and south and
east, involving quite scope of terri
tory. It is impossible to ascertain the
extent and severity of the storm. Hail
stones are reported to have fallen as
large as hen eggs. Censor.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, Aug. %, 1914.

LDGERlON, WIS.,, Aug. 20, 1914.
The harvest of the tobacco crop is
now we'll under way in all sections but
the cool nights are delaying the ripen-
ing so the heavy work in the fields will
be on the coming week The particu-
lars of the injury done by the storms
of week ago are being brought in by
the scouts travelling the growing dis
tricts. They report that something
like 1000 acres of growing tobacco has
been more or less injured by hail in the
Vernon county district, with numerous
scattering belts in the southern sec
tions where the wind has been more
destructive than the hail. The rains,
however, have greatly improved the
development of the later fields that
promise to yield some fair sized leaf,
but it looks as though a good deal of
green tobacco is being shielded. Rust
is showing on some of the fields since
the storms so that, all things consid-
cred, the prospects for field buying are
not very encouraging.
No news of Importance has come to
notice in the market for cured leaf and
little need be expected until samples of
the '13 crop reach the eastern centers
of trade.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 300 cases from this market to
all points since last report.

With a great tobacco crop now in the
fields of Lancaster county, the local
growers are uneasy over the danger of
it being cut too early. From all sides
are heard praises of the 1914 crop,
favorable conditions than any crop in
recent years. While cut worms got in
their work pretty badly in several To-
calities soon after the crop was plant

The entire tobacco trade is aroused
at the proposed war tax likely to be
inflicted upon this trade. Big and little
manufacturers, all jobbers and retail
ers are opposed to having the govern
ment place the burden of taxation upon
the tobacco trade. In 1898, during the
Spanish-American war, the tax i'm
posed was as follows: Cigars and ci-
garettes weighing more than three
pounds per thousand, $3.50; cigars
weighing less than three pounds, 81;
cigarettes weighing less than three
pounds, S1.50. Tobacco was taxed II
cents per pound and dealers were taxed
on sliding scale according to their
business. The Spanish-American per-
iod brought in revenue amounting to 76
millions of dollars. Because of lack of
imports and their accompanying duties,
due to the European war, the govern
ment feels obliged to raise an addi-
tional S100, 900, 900 and tobacco has been
selected as one of the things to be
taxed. In their zeal to raise revenue
the legislators may overlook the disad-
vantage to the trade, unless mighty
protest is made Attention has been
drawn to the fact that if ''luxuries'
are to be taxed, coupons and trading
stamps ought to be taxed. The argu-
ment is that these gifts" ought to be
paid for by the millions of people who
receive them. This sort of tax would
relieve the situation Immediately and
cause no hardship. The tax would be
placed on the Individual consumer,
whereas the proposed tobacco tax will
reach only the manufacturer, jobber
and retailer. Last years premium bus
mess reached the total of 500, 900, 900,
of which S5, 900, 900 was on tobaccos,
and to tax this 'sgift" scheme would
prove very satisfactory to everyone.
