NEW YORK, July l6, 1917.
Periodical sensations seem to impreg-
nate the atmosphere of the leaf mar
Ret. The many that preceded the past
few weeks were followed by one which
stirred the speculative fever of the
market. 1t was the sensational rise in
the stock quotations of the American
Sumatra Tobacco Co. The stock Of
this company took ajump of from Is
to 20 points from its quotations but
few months ago. And this jump is
not due to speculative venture wholly
but seems to have come legitimately as
"a result of the vast and exceedingly
successful operations of the company.
This jump has enriched the stockhold-
ers over night and has made leaf to-
bacco stock which was held to be of
ephemeral value safer and valuable
investment. The leaf market is natur-
ally aglow with excitement on account
of this occurrence which seems to be
one of the results of our prosperity and
doomed times. No wonder that Shade
grown leaf investments are soaring so
high when the Pennsylvania domestic
seed is commanding, as reported in our
news columns, the unprecedented fig
ure of 81 cents. Evidently the leaf
market is beginning to rival the pro-
ceedings Of it's neighbor, Wall Street

LANCASTER, Pa, July 9, 1917.
We were told by grower a couple
of days ago that you could sit on a
fence at tobacco field and see the
plants growing. But the tobacco plant
ed latest had a very close call, for there
was bit too much sunshine for the
moisture, and the nice, easy rains that
came the early part of last week were
Just in time to make lot of replanting
unnecessary. The local growers who
have been riding the county say they
never saw Lancaster county crop get
a better start.
Those who had settled down to the
belief that the county's acreage could
never get above the 16, 900 so long cred
tied to it, find it hard to adopt new
estimate, while the persons open to
conviction by argument see quite plain
" that 5000 acres could not supply
the number of cases the big concerns
of the county alone buy year after
year. So hereafter 10000 acres is the
right number to start estimates on,
though it must not be forgotten that
there are dealers who say, with reason,
backed by figures, that the acreage is
considerably larger.
When we talk about the local leaf
market it must be understood that our
packers are not doing whatever busi-
ness they have by dealing exclusively
in Pennsylvania tobacco. Those VINO
have any such in stock are among the
fortunate ones of earth for they can do
business Indeed anybody here with
any kind of tobacco can do business
The only trouble is to find tobacco. So
far as customers are concerned, there
is no trouble finding them. The 1916
may have more or less black rot among
it, but just the same it takes 80 cents
or more to buy it.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, July 20, 1917.
Still another week of satisfactory
growing weather with frequent show
ers that is all the time putting a fine
front on the growing tobacco crop.
Despite the general scarcity of farm
help, farmers are bending every effort
in keeping their fields clear of weeds
and the soil frequently stirred. The
advancement so far has rarely been
excelled in this state and the farmers
are more than pleased with the pros
poets. Buyers are everywhere making
excursions into the growing districts,
keeping close tab on the condition of
the crop and If ali reports circulated
could be verified frequept offers and
some contracts closed would De record
ed. A good deal of skirmishing in out
lying sections possibly has resulted in
the contracting of 100 or so acres. The
favorite offer seems to be 10 to II cents
and take all chances on what may be-
fall the crop later Growers generally
are too busy at this time to be pes
tered by buyers, and are little disposed
to name any figures on crop not yet
near the harvest, but continual ham
mering may break down this reluc-
tance. No one can predict how soon
things may break loose and a hotfoot
campaign be under way. The hope is
it might be delayed for few weeks
at least.
The Mcintosh Bros. are the last to
complete warehouse handling of the
season this week. Old leaf is so prac-
tically out Of the market that no busi-
ness except in small orders to jobbing
houses is reported.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases from this market to all points

The center of interest in the tobacco
trade is the purchase of growing crops
in Connecticut at the highest prices
ever heard of. Much of this tobacco
has just been set out, and none OF it
has made sufficient growth to indicate
what it will be like when it is put into
the barns, much less what it will be
like when cured. Efforts to contract
for crops have been made in other to-
bacco growing sections, but have failed
principally by reason of the farmers
notions Of what they ought to have.
Planting has just been finished through
out the country. 1t is doubtful if the
acreage is any larger than last years s
was, and this is IN all probability a
good thing in view of the scarcity of
labor and general conditions Leaf.

Denver labor bulletin., 1917-09-01
THE HISTORY OF DENVER.

The city of Denver had its birth in
a rough village built by gold seekers
on both banks of Cherry creek, near
where it enters the Platte river, in
the latter part of 1858. In the begin
ming this settlement was in reality two
villages. That on the west bank of
the creek was called Auraria and that
on the east bank received the name
Denver" in honor of James W. Den
ver, then governor of Kansas territory,
which at that time extended west to
the Rocky Mountains. For a few years
these two villages remained separate
and a certain amount of rivalry exist
ed between them. Then they forgot
their jealousies and united into one
town. which they proudly called Den
yer City. Its growth was rapid, keep
ing pace with the remarkable devel-
opment of the surrounding territory.
In 1860, one year before Colorado ter
ritory was organized, it had about
$500 inhabitants. In 1870, when the
first federal census was taken, its pop
ulation had increased to i,759. Ten
years later it contained 35.629 people.
In 1890 it had spread out to include
much territory east and north of the
first settlement and the population was
l06,71S. In 1900 the census bureau
found 1SS,S59 people in the corporate
limits. and in 1910, after the boun-
daries had been extended considerably,
the population was 2lS.SS1. At the
beginning of 1917, according to the
estimate by the United States census
bureau, the population was 26o,So

There is foresight as well as graft
tude in the course to be pursued by
representative labor leaders. If the
cause of labor is to advance, it must
be above suspicion in its fealty to the
American flag. So far the leaders of
the nation have trusted it and so far
it has proved worthy of that trust.
Men like Mr.. Gompers are high in the
councils of the nation and labor has its
proper representation in all govern
