CONNECTICUT TOBACCO.

This State Holds Second Place as Pro-
Queer of the Fragrant Leaf.
Connecticut still holds UP the reputa-
ton the state has SO long sustained for
growing one of the largest and best
crops Of tobacco of any state in the I'm
ion. She now holds second place, with
Pennsylvania first
The tobacco raised in Connecticut is
used mostly for wrappers on cigars and
the Havana is only used for filling
The tobacco naised here is selling at
all sorts of prices. 1t seems that the
crop of '92 is worth it's weight in gold,
and If a farmer by chance runs across
piece of '92 tobacco he considers him
self extremely fortunate.
In Pennsylvania the tobacco product
has been very large. Last year 64,500,-
600 pounds were raised and sold in that
state alone. In New York state very
little tobacco is raised. It's chief place
is in corning. 1t is considered a very
nice tobacco and is in great demand.
The leaf tobacco raised in Connect
cut in go brought fifteen cents per
pound that year. 1t is now worth over
forty-five cents.
About seven hundred thousand farm
ers are actively engaged in raising to-
bacco in the United States.

Have Travelled Much.

Two journeymen scene painters who
the country arrived in town Wednes-
day. They are on their way from Tam
pa, Fla, to Bangor, Me-, and expect to
reach the latter city about September
l. They are brothers, named Gilbert.
One claims New York as his home,
while the other, though born in the
metropolis makes his home in Boston
Five years ago they started from New
York and worked their way across the
country to Chicago. They would travel
to a town and look for work painting
scenery in the theaters. Having secur-
ed some money they pulled UP stakes
again and moved on In this manner
they went down the Mississippi Valley
to New Orleans, along the Gulf to Mo-
bile, thence across Alabama to Atlanta
Then they went to Tampa, and thence
along the Atlantic seaboard to New
York. They have seen much of the
country and enjoy their romantic life.
At times work is difficult to obtain,
and they do not know from one day
to another from where their meals are
coming But they have been 'lucky,"
as one of them expressed it, and sell
dom are without money in their pock-
cts. They enjoy their profession great
ly. The Gilberts are Americans, and
always are well dressed. One, the
senior, is married, his wife being a
Waterbury, Conn, girl. They left yes
terday for Waterbury, where they have
work.

Sheriff Pond. who took possession of
the premises pending the giving of
bond

the defendant company is due him in
the amount of $12,924.45 for the use and
sale of machinery of which the plaintiff

Mr.. Barnes says that until March last
he was manager of the Niagara Laun-
dry company, and held a large inter-
est in the stock of the company, having

years. The sale of the machines was
conducted as a part of the business of

Tendency of Stocks Downward-specula-
ton Very Listless'

ton Very Listless;
New York, July 9.-The tendency of
stocks was downward to-day. In the
first place, the market lacked foreign
support, and instead of buying as of
late arbitrage houses sold moderate
loans of ST. Paul and other interna-
tional favorites. Furthermore, COM
mission houses were without orders,
and there was a general disposition on
the part of the bulls to await the out
come of the Chicago convention. Spec
ulation dragged along in a listless man
ner until late in the afternoon session,
when the bears and professional oper-
ators proceeded to take advantage of
the lack of interest manifested by those
usually arrayed on the bull side.
In explaining their sales, they argued
that the proceedings at Chicago to-day
would probably lead to return of Sc
curities recently bought for foreign ac-
count, and in the present condition Of
the foreign exchange market it would
not be difficult to bring about exports
Of gold. Sugar was the leading card,
dropping from 110A to 1O7A. The stock
