A Chance for Some One of You to Get
the Prettiest Pony and Chaise
in the State.

In connection with the splendid
program already issued, and which
has attracted widespread attention
and interest, the LEAF.CHRoNICLE
has held in reserve, especially for its
little friends, the finest Pony and
Chaise to be found in this section.
The LEAF CHRONICLE will give the
same to the boy or girl, sixteen
years of age or under, who shall,
between May 7, 1892, and August l,
1892, secure the largest number of
subscribers to the DAILY or SEMI
WEEKLY TOBACCO LEAF-CnRoNI-
Gle. Contestants will be privileged
to take subscriptions for any amount,
from so cents upward. No amount
less than 80 cents will be received.
Fifty cents will secure the DAILY
LEAF, CHRONICLE one month, or the
SEMI WEEKLY for three months.
BY the year the price of the DAILY
is 5000, and the SEMI-WEEKLY
800. Both are well worth the
money and more. Under this ar,
rangement a paid-up yearly sub
scriber to either the DAILY or SEMI
WEEKLY will be entitled to the ben
efits accruing from the five guesses
in the regular program and a vote
for any one of the young ladies con-
testing for the other prizes.

amount shall be credited. All sub
scriptions receipted for by the Office.
Every contestant for the Pony and
Chaise will keep an account of the
amount turned in, duplicate of
which will be kept by the Office, so
there can be no difficulty in deciding
to whom the Pony and Chaise be-
longs. The aggregate IN dollars and
cents decides the contest. This
offer goes into effect when ten
or more boys and girls re-
port their names to this Office as con-
testants No one now employed by
the LEAF-CHRoNICLE is eligible to
enter into this contest. Subscrip-
tons or advanced renewals may
be obtained in the city or from

they will help the movement by en-
couraging their little friends who
may compete for this handsome
prize.

TOBACCO MARK EFT.

The leaf tobacco market has not
exhibited any noteworthy features
this week. Considering everything,
the offerings have been Of very fair
quality and prices have sometimes
reached 1875, and have often exceeded
500. These, of course, elected sharp
and spirited bidding and sold Mt full
prices. In fact the characteristic of
the market in beng strong for the
upper and lower types and weak for
those that come between does not
change, and this was especially
marked this week. The manulac-
turers at all times want good colory
and red filters. Quality is always
dcsideratum, AID this sustained the
market for the better types, namely,
those that range from $l2 upward.
On the low grades, from IS down
both the home manufacturers and the
reggie buyers offer competition. The
reggie buyers have been picking up
good deal of late, and this helps
along the market for the cheaper
types.
Between the upper and lower
grades comes n grsat bulk of COM
mon, medium and nondescript hogs
heads, which buyers often neglect.
One hogshead may sell for its full
value and another minute later
may sell at dollar less. Consequent
ly reflections in these cases are very
numerous and the market for them
is decidedly irregular.
Good darks sell well. a black
wrapper or good colory Green Riv-
or hogshead is In demand. Others
wise the dark market Is quiet and
easy.
Receipts this week have fallen OH
considerably.
The weather has been very favora-l
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-06-20

Saturdays clearings were 81, 24O,-
CAT to.day's balance was 1907 1923.
The week 9 balances were 81 $40, 1877.
The weeks clearings were s greater
than last year in the corresponding
week.
There has been more activity in
Louisville money market than had
been expected. Owing to the adj
vance of the hot weather and the be-
ginning of the usual dull season it
was naturally thought that the move
ment would be light. Instead it has
been very good for this period of the
year, though the market could not be
described as active, as the majority
OF the banks and trust companies
still have surplus of funds and are
looking for good paper.
While the demand for money has
been fair, there has been no change
in rates. Money is easy on time and
call at 6 per cent, but no loans have
been reported below that figure. A
feature OF the week has been the col
lapse of New York exchange. This
for long time was very firm and in
demand at 75c. premium to the ship
ping rate, but this week it has come
down to par. One large bank has
been selling heavily, and this is the
chief cause of the decline.
At no point is there any stir in
money. Investment is slow and
speculation very small. Business is
only moderate, and consequently
much money is left idle in the vaults
of the banks and trust companies.
For this reason we see these institu.
tons, notably the large ones of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chi.
cago, seeing good loans at remark
ably low rates. And with the hot
season here there is not much prom
Use of a change in these conditions
for some time yet.
A broad monetary affairs are very
quiet, and the accumulation Of idle
funds in London is proportionately as
heavy as it is in New York. Money
j. quoted there in the open market at
per cent, and the lowest rates also
prevailed at the great continental
money centers, such as Paris, Berlin,
Frankfort, amsterdam and Niena.
The Bank of France and the Bank OF
England are still gaining bullion, the
increase of the latter amounting to
the large sum of 1885, 900 pounds.
The New York stock market has
been quiet, and the bears still rule it.
AT this point securities have been
fairly active and very firm.

Communicating .,,h r.r,.

The methods employed by the Parisian
authorities for communicating with the
provinces during the ,iege of Paris were
per.evering and ingenious. The princi.
pal means Of sending letters was by bal.
looms and carrier pigeons, but many
other plans were tried. II was almost
impossible for messenger get through
the German lines Even when other
difficulties could b. overcome the dan.
ger of . search and discovery OF the
dispatch was great
Many Of the messengers male incisions
In the skin and hid dispatch under the
spidermis. Others provided themselves
with hollow ten ccniime pieces or hol.
low keys. which could t- opened like =
bo1 and In which dispatches could be
hidden. One was accustomed 90 hide
his dispatch under an artificial hollow
tooth. These dispatches Of course were
written In cipher. and covered only u
fragment % paper.
Attempts were made 10 cross the
snemy's lines by following the caves and
natural tunnels under the left branch OF
the Seine. and by diving and crossing
the bed Of the river In diving suits. but
these plans failed.
A curious scheme was the putting Of
letters into little hollow spheres of rinc,
and throwing thee spheres into the
Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they
would foat TO Paris. They did foat to
Paris. but not until after the armis,ice.
II MAS supposed that they were s,opp-i
by dams. or that they were discovered
and held back by the Germans until the
siege was at an end.-Youth's Conpan.
