menf for Sound Money.

Washington. Aug. Recommending
upon the Associated Press cable of the
report of the committee on Indian cur
rency, placing India on a gold basis,
Director of the Mint Robert said to-
day:
"The report does little more than re-
affirm and declare the perma-
nancy of the policy adopted
in 1898 when the mints were
closed to the free coinage of
silver. The minis were closed origi-
nally because the decline of silver had
become SO great as to embarras the In
dian government, which received its
revenues in silver and had to make a
large share of lis disbursements in
gold.''
Asked if there was any reason to eX-
pect such a movement of gold to India
as might disturb the money markets in
the worlds center. Mr.. Roberts re-
piled:
There is not. India cannot draw
any more than she can pay for. and
she is not rich enough. or likely to de-
velop exports fast enough to make
her demands serious She has taken
$9,000,O0O or $1O,OO0OOO worth of Aus
tral;an gold this year. She cannot
possibly take sum that will absorb
the increase of this years gold pro
duction over last year.
''Does not the final adoption of the
gold standard by India have any bear
ing upon our foreign trader
''It puts the wealth producers of the
two countries on common level" re-
piled Roberts. ''and disposes of the old
argument that the Indian farmer has
an advantage over the American farm
er. because he receives his pay in Il
falling currency. Whatever intrtca-
cfes there once were in the subject has
been cleared up for the Indian farmer,
like the American farmer. is now paid
by the gold standard. The alleged ad-
vantage was an illusory one. for ne
only held it while the currency con-
tinued TO fall. and then only as he
could work it off on some Uminformed

AN EXCITING SESSION

Rennes, Aug. PA stirring scene
closed today's session of the Dreyfus
trial. General MERCER had spoken near
ly four hours in ruthless denunciation
of Dreyfus who had listened unmoved
until MERCER concluded by saying that
if he had not been convinced of the
guilt of Dreyfus, and if the latters con-
1891 he would admit that he had been
mistaken. Dreyfus jumped to his feet
rs though the words had galvanized
him into life and shouted in a voice
which resounded through the hall like
a trumpet note, You have lied, scoun-
drel." The audience burst into wild
cheers, whereupon ushers called for
for silence. But when MERCER replied
he would admit Dreyfus was innocent
if there was any doubt, the prisoner
shouted again, why don YOU then?"
At this there was another outburst of
applause. NJ. Casimir Perier then rose
and dramatically demanded TO be con-
fronted with General Mercfer in order
TO deny some of his statements. Col.
JOuast ordered court to be adjourned
until Monday at G:3O a. m. for confron
tation, and as MERCER turned to leave
the court room, the audience rose en-
masse and hissed and cursed him.

is that anti-Bryan men of the inner

Where Games Were Won and Lost
Yesterday.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-09-29
New York.
New YORK. Sept 20, 80.

The condition of the Seed leaf market
during the past week has been fair. The
few remaining lots of New England
goods are being rapidly picked up, and
all kinds of domestic tobacco, old and
new, are selling steadily. Fancy light
Connecticut wrappers of the new crop
continue to bring high figures, several
lots being sold this week at from go to
10 cents.
Samples of the new Pennsylvania
Broad leaf and Wisconsin are being
shown, and some purchases have been
made. Although it must be admitted
that black rot is noticeable among the
Pennsylvania packings, it is not suffi-
ciently widespread to condemn the crop
as whole, and careful buyers can find
any number of very desirable lots
From present appearances the trade
must look to the new Wisconsin for the
bulk of their binders, and, from samples
shown thus far, it will prove satisfac-
factory crop, both in condition and guam
tity. Inquiries continue for old Little
Dutch, and holders of this tobacco are
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-09-29

After the rushing and very brisk busi-
ness for the past six weeks, the market is
taking a rest now, and the rest is rather
an enforced than voluntary one. For
the bulk of the leaf that has been in do
mand is disposed of, and only stray lots
of it can be found, while the other crops
have not been fully sampled as yet. AS
fast, however, as the samples of these
crops get in, they disappear into the
hands of the consumers. Thus, several
hundred cases of the '9S Pennsylvania
and likewise of the '9S Zimmer's s changed
ownership rapidly during the week, both
being among the most desirable filler
leaf. The quality of both is pronounced
to be most excellent and equal to the
famous '97 crops. And as long as no
sufficient Remedies crop is raised in
Cuba to supply the great and growing
demand of our cigar industry for an aro-
matte filler leaf, SO long will there be an
eager demand for good quality Zim-
mer's or Pennsylvania or State seed BIS.
Aside from those sold, quite a quantity
of 81 Wisconsin was disposed of. Alto
gether our market was cleaned of about
1900 boxes of domestic leaf.
In Sumatra the demand is steadily in
creasing. Jobbers are buying more
freely of Sumatra now than they have
been doing for the past six months, and
they are buying largely of the new crop,
too. At yesterdays inscription, as our
cable informs our readers, only a few
hundred bales were taken for the Ameri-
can market out of total of 10000. The
total importation of the '98 crop of Su-
matra will hardly exceed $1,000 bales,
which will be the smallest importation
of Sumatra on record. Hence it is easily
forseen that there will be a dearth Of
available Sumatra before the Inscriptions
of the '99 crop take place, and with the
advent of the new year nothing but rem
nants of old and new importations will
be left, which, under the circumstances,
will command as high prices as do de-
sirable lots now. Consequently, the
Sumatra market is in position just now
to be brisk. Sales for the week about
400 bales, which went mostly into the
hands of the jobbing trade.
The Havana market remains un-
changed.-Journal,
