A SURE CURE FOR GROUP
twenty-five Years Constant Use
without Failure.

The first Indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of
the approach of an attack Following
this hoarseness is q peculiar rough cough.
If Chamberlain'S Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse. or
even after the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is used in
many thousand homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxious
mothers, We have yet to learn of a sin

effectual. No other preparation can show

at the present rate there will hardly be
any left in the market by the Fall, and
the unwonted event of new crop being
sold out at time when it usually com
mences only to be offered in the market
will have occurred. In Wisconsin busi-
ness was just as brisk, large blocks sell
ing at from lie to 121sc. In even greater
demand is old Wisconsin, but there are
only very few houses that hold any
quantity to speak of One of them sold
a block of 500 boxes at 12c. 1t is also re-
ported that one packing house sold out
it's entire holdings of the new Big Flats.
Rarely, if ever, before have the new crops
moved so fast, which testifies both to the
serviceability of the new crops and the
scarcity of the old.
AS to the Sumetra, there is no question
that but limited quantity of the new
crop will be imported. No doubt the
best of it has been picked up for the
American market and will ultimately
find it's way into the consumers hands.
That the chief buyers have left already
their field of operations at Amsterdam
and returned may be taken as proof that
no great supply will be imported any
more. The result of yesterdays inscrip-
tion is further proof. Sales for the week
about 300 bales, all in small lots.-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, June 8, 1899

EDGERTON, WIS.,, June y, 1879.
That the trade is we'll disposed towards
the '9S crop finds evidence in quite re-
vival of business both from first hands
and among packers. Soverhill & Porter
have picked up about 300cs from growers
of late at prices that do not exceed those
paid earlier in the season, when shrink
age and cost of handling are deducted.
We learn that other dealers are quietly
picking away at the remnants remaining
in the country. Some large deals among
9S packers have taken place especially
in Vernon county leaf where we are in
formed that 16O0cs of M. III. Bekkedal's
packing at Soldiers Grove has been sold
to G. F. Tallard. Fred Eckhart has
also purchased the Helgerson packing at
Viroqua, nearly 1O00cs, and S. N. Nep-
rud at Westby has sold 15Ocs '97 filters
to the Bamberger firm. A deal of greater
magnitude is also under consideration
in that locality L. B. Carle of James
vile also sold 7O0cs of low grade goods to
Bamberger. G. L. Culton has disposed
of several good sized lots during the
week.
The planting of the new crop has been
commenced in good many localities but
the rainy season of late has put the
growers behind in preparing their fields,
so the planting season is coming upon
them with a rush An abundance of
plants are now ready for transplanting
contrary to expectations of few weeks
ago, and growers will have busy times
until the crop is out.
The shipments out of storage reach
about p car loads, 1O7Ocs, from this sta
ton to all points for the week. Since
last report 765cs of cigar leaf were ex-
ported from New York.

New York.
New YORK, May 81, '99.


The present month closes to-day with
considerable business to it's credit. The
fact that old goods are scarce and rela-
lively high in price has had staying
effect, but the unusually early demand
for new goods and the readiness with
which large stocks of the '98 tobaccos
have been taken have swelled the
months transactions to very satisfac-
tory amount.
So far as the business of the past week
is concerned, nothing worthy of note has
occurred, and trading in seed leaf has
been dull. There are many inquiries
for old tobaccos, but ruling prices pre-
vent prompt transactions. One dealer
refused an offer for 1000 case lot on
difference of half cent. The market
for new tobacco has been fairly active g
at least between packers and jobbers;
and one firm, who packed large amount
of Wisconsin, claim to have closed out
the bulk of their holdings.
Havana Manufacturers are buying
from hand to mouth, and but little to-
bacco is changing hands. The depres-
sion is natural one, however, and bet
ter business cannot be looked for until
the new tobacco begins to appear in the
American market. Several firms expect
to receive samples of the '98 crop in few
weeks.
Sumatra- There is yet considerable
doubt among jobbers and manufacturers
as to the relative merits of the new and
old goods, and in consequence but little
is doing in the local trade. Late aovices
state that the amount of suitable tobacco
which is to be offered at Amsterdam on
Thursday is small, which many accept
as an indication that the bulk of the '98
buying, for Americans, is over, and that
the best lots have been already taken.
This may tend to settle the market here.

LANCASTER New ERA. May 80, '99.

The past week was one of unusual ac-
tivity in the trade. The right kind of
buyers came along, that is, men who
meant business, and finding what they
wanted, bought it. When these two
conditions are present it is not difficult
to effect sales. The week previous every
thing looked blue and dull and there
were no signs of promise; today the out
look is quite encouraging, showing that
it is very difficult to predict with much
certainty in the tobacco trade. The sales
of which we have heard were 375cs by
Mr.. Percy PauIus; 125cs sold by Pontz 4
Bitner: 274cs sold by G. I'll. Welchans u
Co.; 123cs sold by Isaac Stirk q Co.; 500
cases sold by Morris Rosenthal u Co.,
and 200cs bought by the same firm and
Toes sold by Joseph Shultz; IN all l,737

From all sections of the country we
hear that planting was very actively
carried on last week, In some localities
we are informed the greater part of the
plants have been set out. The period OF
warm days has come, and warm nights
cannot be far away SO that plants will
have a chance to get along.
In the states Mouth of us planting has
not progressed SO rapidly as here. In
fact, we believe very little, or none, has
been set out in Wisconsin and New
England.
