THE NARCOTIC WEED.
The Market Not Over and Above Brisk
These Days.

The Edgerton tobacco market, ac-
cording to the Index. has not been very
lively the past week. 1t says that "oc-
caSional sales We're made but not at a
rate that can clear out the stocks on
hand in time to make room for the
new crop, which naturally should be
coming in freely within two months.
Some exchanges speak Of revival OF
trade and Frightening prospects since
the passage of the silver repeal bill
and the recent election, but if those
incidents have in any way affected
trade here we fail to discover it,"
The StOughton Hub reports that
sampling has absorbed the attention
of local buyers the past week.
The Sun Prairie market has been
dull of late, according to the Country
man.
Referring to the Deerfeld market
the Enterprise says that considerable
tobacco has been delivered at that
point the past week.
The GAINESVILLE market, says the Leaf,
has done the usual amount of business
the past week. The paper adds: 1.-The
result of the election has given en-
enlargement to many dealers. and a
disposition is shown to do business
in the future. A hopeful feeling pre-

New York, Nov. 1G.-The continued

other stocks and during the afternoon
| the market sagged away from the high
prices of the morning. 4 break Of
nearly three points in Manhattan was
feature. The bond market was fair

The heavinees and adverse talk in
General Electric affected the tone of
the whole list. The close was heavy,
but only lower in the beared special

Chicago, Nov 1.-THE superlative of
weak would but family express the
way in which the wheat market was
characterized by many of the old
time traders. To men who were wont
to consider wheat bought at 81 per
bushel sure for a profit it appeared
scarcely credible that any one could
be found to sell it short at zoe. but
such was the fact, and there were net
few of them either.
Young men with no reverence for
old traditions or respect for opinions
based upon exploded theories allowed
those to buy it who could think whea t
cheap at any price with 100000 bu
in sight which nobody appeared TO
want. Compared with yesterdays
closing price the decline for the day
was lie.
Corn appeared to be very week also
at 1-16c less than Lac decline. Oats
suffered, however, to the extent of
3-4c. Pork compared with yesterdays
closing price is 81 1-2c lower; lard and
ribs each II 1-2c lower.
