WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, Oct. 80, 1914.
The first frosts of the season to mark
vegetation have come during the week,
but the great bulk of the tobacco crop
is now so completely cured out that it is
beyond the reach of even freezes that
penetrate the sheds. There has been
but but very little of the crop stripped
as yet nor much likelihood of it's being
done until the growers complete their
other farm work.
No symptoms of a revival of the buy
ing movement are visible and to quote
the representative of one of the larger
concerns, mot leaf stirring" quite
concisely states the situation at present.
Eastern journals report fair sale of
Wisconsin as samples appear on the
market. T. E. Welsh of GAINESVILLE has
sold 500cs lot to manufacturer and
a 200cs lot of '13 sold by local packer
to western jobber comprise the i'm
portant transactions coming to notice.
The work of sampling last seasons
packings is not yet completed and
where guaranteed inspection is required
there is some rehandling to be done
before clean tickets are received.
The shipments out of storage reach
but about 200 cases from this market
to all points since last report.

NEW DIRK, oct. "a, 1914.
The demand for Wisconsin and Su-
matra is still dominating the local leaf
market. Trading in these types has
therefore been brisk again, Prices
continue to be high but they do not
seem to prevent manufacturers from
stocking up, as the latter appear to
realize that under present conditions
there is no prospect of playing sue
cessful waiting game for reduction.
The transactions in Wisconsin amount
ed again to several thousand cases and
the time is near at hand when the
great packing houses will be totally
cleared out of this type. The invest
ments in Sumatra have also been heavy
and rapid so that in this line, too, a
shortage is in view in the near future.
In spite of the higher prices, importers
claim that they are not making any
money because of the high rate of ex-
change, the war risk insurance, and
other extra incidentals that increase,
for the present, the original cost of the
importations. The domestic shade
grown leaf is keeping full pace with
this forward trend of business. The
Florida-G Georgia leaf is constantly in
active demand, apparently responding
to its increased usefulness. The excel
lent qualities of last years leaf made
for it many new customers in the in
dustry. The filler market is rather
slow, except that the Pennsylvania is
beginning to move AS for the Havana
there is hardly any change perceptible.
A livelier demand for the new crop is
reported from Cuba with notice of
an advance in price. Journal

NOTE sooK SKETCHES

Growers are exhibiting signs, of un-
easiness because of the absence of buy
ers for the new crop of tobacco. In
other recent years the bulk of the crop
has been quite generally under contract
at this date and hence there was little
reason to worry about the market.
Any man of ordinary information has
not to look far for the cause if he has
kept posted on the general business
conditions of the country, still further
complicated by the frightful European
war that has proven most distressing
element to commerce. The cotton and
tobacco growers of the South are clam
oring for the government to come to
to their relief. The northern tobacco
growers need no help from such a
source they have only to wait for i'm
proved business conditions and their
crop will be needed in the usual chan
nels of trade. They cannot only afford
to wait but they will have to. 1t will
be no real hardship if they wait until
the crop is stripped and in the bundle
before selling.

Next month the country Will elect a
new House of Representatives and IN
many states candidates for the United
States Senate will also have to pass the
popular ordeal. We have just had an
example Of what mischief a Congress
can do that becomes recreant to the
trust confded to it and breaks the
pledges on which it's members obtain
the suffrge of the people. The present
Congress has been in almost continuous
session for nearly twenty months and
has by it's actions caused the general
depression under which our industries
and commerce have been suffering.
The panicky feeling which has seized
and prevailed in our financial and trade
circles during the extraordinary lengthy
sessions of our present Congress has
been ascribed by students of public af
fairs to be due to the radical upheaval
in both our economic and political pol
icy attempted and partly accomplished
by the present Congress. Never before
in the history of the American COM
monwealth have the people of this
country been so directly and enormous
ly burdened with taxation as by this
Congress. 1t used to be the boast of
the American citizen that he alone of
all the deniZens of the world is free
from being directly and personally tax
ed for the support of the national gov
ernment. This freedom has now been
banished into an iridescent dream. The
American people have been chained by
this Democratic Congress to the per-
sonal tax cart never to be relieved
from it. In our daily avocation, into
most of our business transactions, the
government will henceforth pry, hold
ing the sword of heavy fines and i'm
prisonment over our heads for any in
vasion or infraction of the new and un-
precedented burdens imposed upon US.
Nor has the tobacco trade escaped this
yoke of personal exaction. The new
taxes to be exacted from every dealer
in and manufacturer of tobacco pro-
ducts may not be of imposing figures
but are certainly not stimulent for
the advancement and prosperity of the
trade And the extravaganza in ap-
preparations in which Congress has in
dulged is sure to mean more and heav-
Ter burdens of the trade. For our to-
bacco industries have neither a repre-
resentative nor an outspoken friend in
Congress. And the idiosyncracies of
our hypocritical law-givers are liable
to ever pounce upon the tobacco trade
and its industries as the handiest OBJ
ject to fleece. The obvious reason for
this longing despoilment of our tobacco
industries is the lack of our tobacco in
dustries in making their power and
votes felt in elections. If in but few
constituencies where the tobacco trade
and industries have vast interests they
concentrate to defeat any congressional
candidate who has acted against or
failed to protect their welfare, such
step would be bound to act as deter
rent against further encroachments by
legislation on the welfare of the trade.

The second crop of tobacco springing
from the roots of harvested fields never
attained such luxurient growth in this
state as the present season. On many
fields these plants reached nearly nor
NAL size and were in full blossom when
the late frosts caught them during the
week. We hear of few instances
where the sucker crop was topped and
harvested, but the chances are vastly
against the leaf curing out to be of
any merchantable value. Such rank
growth should by all means have been
plowed under and thus become fer
tilizer for the soil. It's value for this
purpose will greatly exceed the money
value the growers could hope to realize
from the sale of the second crop. It is
such an unusual thing to see a second
crop attain such growth in this st&te
that the fact cannot escape unnoticed.

The money spent by smokers every
year for cigars only, not counting CT
garettes, smoking and chewing tobacco
and snuff, would more than pay for the
building Of the Panama canal, besides
taking care of the $50,000,0O0 paid to
the new French Canal company and the
Republic of Panama for property and
franchises. In addition to this it would
cover the cost of fortifying the canal.

Although the young wife is niece OF
Sister NJ Imelda, former superintendent
Of ST. Marys Hospital and now superin-
tendent of ST. GATHERINGS Hospital. in
Brooklyn. she and her husband knew that
the strict rules Of the hospital against
keeping young married couples on the
staff of nurses or doctors would not be
set aside in their case. and for that rea-
son they kept their wedding a secret.
The secret finally leaked out. because
Macarthur, after leaving the hospital, Just

ties that a complaint was finally made to
the nurses parents. AS a result the secret
marriage was revealed.
