As Others See Us.

The Supreme Court of the State
recently handed down a decision up
holding the action of the Board OF
Liquidation Of the State Debt when
that Board named as their Fiscal
Agents certain syndicate Of banks
which had put in q bid at a lower
rate Of interest than the independ-
cat banks had bid for the use OF the
States money. Leaving out the mer-
its of the case, as to whether the &C
ton of the Board was right or not,
it is interesting locally to know that
one of st. Tammany's financial insti-
tutions, the Covington Bank & Trust
Company, was one Of the independ-
ent bidders for portion of the con-
tract. After the lower court had
ruled in favor Of the independent
banks, and before the higher courts
ruling. the Covington Bank & Trust
Company. in order to be prepared to
qualify as fiscal agents, applied to
one Of the largest bonding companies
in the country for a bond to the
amount of $50,00O.0O, which COM
pany after an Investigation offered
to write said bond at the usual rates
without requiring any security from
the bank. This was indeed c0mpli-
ment to our local institution, as we
understand that there are many very
large banks in the country which are
required to give indemnity when so
bonded, as the risk run by the bond
ing companies is exactly equal to that
taken by the ordinary depositors, this
means that this particular company
would not have feared to deposit with
the Covington Bank the sum OF
$50.0O0.00. The fact that this large
northern bonding company has such
faith in. the condition of said bank
ought to be a source OF great salts
faction to its many customers.-Ady.

New YORK. July 3, 1915

The pre-holiday spirit which prevail
ed in our leaf market this week was
reflected in a measure in the let-up
which took place among the cigar man
ufacturers, necessitated by the taking
of the semi-annual inventory. About
this time of the year manufacturers, as
a rule, indulge in very little leaf buy
ing, or in fact, buying of any sort, un-
less it is that which is absolutely nee
essary, in order that the stock inven-
tory will show up in as healthy con-
dition as possible. Such being the case
very little leaf business transpired.
Sumatra importers still hold the cen
ter of the stage and as e..ch succeeding

Sumatra tobacco feel in better spirits
and point with satisfaction at having
gagged correctly the Sumatra situation
from the beginning While no large
sales in this commodity have taken
place during the past week, neverthe-
less, sufficient small ones were booked
to indicate that the cigar manufacture
ers expect an increase in cigar con-
sumption In other leaf departments
demand for Porto Rican tobacco seems
to have forged ahead of that for Ha-

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 80, 1915.
Hail fell over wide area in the Con-
necticut valley Saturday and Sunday.
Tobacco suffered severely and, while
even an approximation of the loss is
difficult, $40, 900 to $50, 900 is probably
a conservative estimate of the damage,
only a part of which is covered by hail
insurance.
The sultry days of the past week
have been a source of concern to to-
bacco growers who quickly recognize
conditions under which hail storms are
likely to be most destructive. The
great bulk of the damage was done
Saturday afternoon and growers may
thank the late season that the loss did
not extend into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. In some towns hail
stones as large as walnuts are reported
and in others hail covered pieces of
land with an inch or more of ice. Had
the storm occurred the last of July
material part of the New England to-
baceo crop would have been destroyed.
AS it is the plants on hundreds of acres
of hail-swept territory had not reached
a size sufficient to afford good target
for the. hail. Moreover, the leaves
which suffered do not constitute desir-
able tobacco at harvest time in the
most favorable circumstances.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS.,, July 9, 1915.

EDGERION, WIS, July y, 1919.
With the transplanting of the tobac-
co crop practically completed in good
time IN all sections of the state and the
fields well started, growers have abun-
dant reason to be we'll satisfied with
the prospects of the season so far. A
couple of good soaking rains during the
week have come timely to cinch the
late planted fields, so there will not be
very much replanting necessary. The
early fields have begun to show spread
and are in condition now to make rapid
progress.
An occasional lot of last season s crop
finds market, but there is no active
effort to take over the unsold remnants.
Ole Kalland's crop of 10 acres was de-
livered to A. Schroede at 98c assorted.
The market for old leaf is still in the
dumps and no transactions of any mo-
ment have occurred with local packers.
Warehouse packing is so nearly at an
end that but two or three firms are yet
engaged in packing.
The shipments out of storage reach
but about 400 cases from this market
to all points since last report.
