which will soon be generally offered in
the market.
Sumatra- week in this branch of
the leaf market has been rather unsatis-
factory, and no large transactions have
been consumated The lull is considered
to be only temporary, however, and is
due largely to the near approach of the
fall inscriptions Although it is expected
that Americans will purchase sparingly
in Amsterdam, home buyers are inclined
to hold back until they can form more
definite idea of the results of the fall
sales. Transactions reported during the
week amount to 100 bales.
Havana THE outlook for the local
Havana trade is anything but encourag
ing. New York importers are practically
sold out and are unable to meet the de-
mands of the Seed and Havana manu-
featuring trade, and this condition will
prevail until the 1899 goods suitable for
this purpose are placed on the market.
The new Remedies in Havana is so high
that American buyers can hardly see
their way clear to stock up, and though
many of them are preparing to take the
field as buyers, they are none to hopeful
of success. The only reported transac-
ton worth recording this week was the
sale of 49 bales of 1898 Remedies, 1st
capaduras, which brought 76c in bond.

New. YORK Sept. 16. '99.

The briskness of the market has sud
denly come to standstill. There have
hardly been any buyers in the market
the past week, and brokers explain the
sudden change by pointing out that
there is again dearth of suitable stock
in the market Most of the desirable
leaf of the New England growth and the
Big Flats has passed from the packers
into the hands of jobbers and manufac-
turers, and what is left is, of course, be-
ing scrutinized more closely than when
the market offered first picks And the
crops of the other tobacco growing Sec
tions are just now in the hands of the
samplers. The business done during the
week was, therefore, limited chiefly to
the remnants of the old stock, among
which the 81 Wisconsin sold the most
freely. It commands an average price of
from 1211ac to 13c. The '98 Little Dutch
was also free seller at 16 Sumatra
sales for the week about 300 bales

Farmers are continuing to sell their
crops of the new leaf at fairly remuner-
ative prices, and yet at lower prices than
it seems necessary. Many dealers are in
the field, and are buying more or less
each day, as we should Judge, of late.
The hailstorm that visited section of
Conway, Whately and North Hatfield
covered about IS acres, some of which
was wholly ruined and has been plowed
in, while some that was not SO badly cut
is being housed, and will be sold for
filters. 1t was fortunate that much the
largest share of the crop was harvested.
Our correspondents write as follows:
North Hatfield, Sept. 5: about 100
acres of the '99 crop sold and consider
able of it spotted. Prices ranged from
II to 154c, out of the hail region. -
North Hatfield, Sept. s: Nearly every
crop west of the railroad has been
bought mostly by Bach of New York. in

offers of 18c were made for good lots and
were declined. The buyers are yet in
force, and probably other lots will be
sold. Several buyers are in the field -

The harvest season is finished except
in few instances, where the cropis very
late The majority of the crops have gone
into the sheds in very good shape, but
the very dry weather of the last two
weeks has had a tendency to produce
white vein Or hay color.
A considerable quantity of 99 has been
bought but none in this immediate vi
cinity. Some 1900 acres have been pur-
chased in the state from 7 to &c in the
bundle and 615 to Sc straight, which is
equivalent to s and 10c in the bundle.
GAINESVILLE buyers have not bought any
for themselves as yet, but T. e. Welsh is
buying near Orfordville for @. L. Culton
and S. Soverhill is buying near Rio, sup
posedly for Sutter Bros. The opening
sales in this section are nearly all in the
western portion of the county and the
prices are the highest that have been
paid in many years.
In old leaf sales have been small in
size but fair in number. G. Ell. Rumrill
sold l5Ocs '98 and car of 81. Chas.
eager and Mr.. Bremen, of Bremen & Son
of New York, were in the market this

EDGERToN, Wis, September %, 1899.
The movement in the new crop is
gradually losing interest and what buy
ing is done during the week has been at
tended by more careful and prudent
methods. Aside from the riding of local
dealers in Vernon county, Sutter Bros
are about the only firm that have buyers
out this week. One of their men made
few sales on Albion Prairie during the
week, the particulars of which have
reached us being the crops of
Martin Nelson, Ia at 7c round.
Christian Olson, 8a at &c round.
Walter Vickers, Sa at 7c round.
Some buying is reported in the north
ern Dane county section and about Or
ford at former quotations. The failure to
interest other buyers in the movement
does not argue we'll for general move
ment of the crop at present.
Sampling of the '9S is becoming quite
general at present and the percent of
damage found is not alarming while the
character of the cured leaf is very salts
factory. Some sales among packers are
reported of moderate sized transaction.
G. L. Culton has sold 400cs of '9S and
Andrew Jenson a 1O0cs lot The Bam-
berger firm have also some trades in
view.
The harvest Of the new crop is now
practically completed in all sections and
the weather of the week favorable to the
curing in the sheds. The shipments out
of storage reach 20 car loads or 995 cases
for the week to all points from this
station. Since last report 845cs of cigar
leaf were exported from New York.

Quietness prevailed in the local mar
ket during the past week. There have
been several holidays which diverted the
attention of portion of the trade and
no longer sales have been recorded.
Still, there is little cause for complaint
as business has been very satisfactory
during the greater part of the summer
The sales that have been reported to us
were 100 cases by M. M. Fry, 215 by G.
III. Welchans & Co., SECS sold by Isaac
Stirk and 100cs bought by Bricker &
Snavely, in all 471cs For the CORE
spending week of last year the sales were
275cs.
The crop of the present year is going
into the barns rapidly. Some localities
are nearly done cutting, while others are
eight miles between here and Lititz more
tobacco is still standing in the fields
than has been put into the barns. Most
of it is ripe, however, and good weather
will see most of it in the sheds by the
close of the week. We regret to say that
the storm of last Friday night proved
very destructive around Warwick. Not
only did the wind blow hurricane, but
there was most destructive downfall of
hail. Some patches were wholly de-
stroyed. We have never seen such ruin
in tobacco fields before; every leaf rid
died until it seemed fit only to be plowed
under. The hail belt does not seem to
have been very wide or long, but within
it's limits the destruction is complete. It
is hard, especially in the case of troopers
to see the entire seasons work swept
away in few minutes

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.
Edgerton,

A general movement of the new crop
which the growers had some reason to
anticipate from an early fury in the
market does not materialize. Outside
of the Vernon county section local deal
ers have not been drawn into the buying
excitement. Thus far but two large ope-
rators have entered the buying field in
all sections and evidences are present
that these firms have about concluded
their purchases of choice selections, while
few favorable localities have been
pretty we'll picked up. If these sur
misses are true a general movement OF
the crop in all sections may be delayed
longer than the growers had hoped for
On the strength of the opening sales the
farmers have built up high expectations
in regard to prices and dealers may
conclude to wait awhile and allow time
to soften their ideas along this line. At
any event the present prospects do not
point to an early general movement of
the crop.

New YORK, Sept 13, '99.

The leaf market in general has not
been particularly active during the past
week. Western buyers have cleaned up
all of the New England tobaccos except
ing few scattered lots; the bulk of the
new Flats has also disappeared, SO that
business during the past few days has
been mainly restricted to small-sized
deals effected between local tradesmen.
A good demand for 1897 Little Dutch
has been noticeable, bringing as high as
16 and Is cents. The few lots of 1898
Connecticut remaining are being in
ers and manufacturers are not as willing
to pay the high prices asked as were the
thronged the market. The attention of
the trade is now turning to the new

The September rains have been about
to assist to cure the early harvested to-
bacco. 1t has simply "dried up" Not
withstanding, buying this years product
has commenced in earnest, Spanish and
seedleaf taking the lead. The Dutch be-
ing more precarious to handle, according
to the experience of the '98 crop, will
probably receive attention later. A

been bought at prices lowering close to
three cents. AS the price of hail cut in

Property owners In upper Benwc0d
seem to be stacking up against the
National Tube Company (Rlversidp,
Iron Works. in the merry game OIL
squeeze these days, and the latter
doesn't appear to be exactly pleased
With the situation, as IS evidenced by
the statement from officials Of the COM
pany that the plans may be revised and
the proposed enormous additions to the
Riverside plant given to some plant Of
the big pipe concern in another city
where real estate holders have not im-
blbed so freely at the fount Of hoggtsh-
ness.
AS an instance, there is a bunch of
lots on Boggs' run east Of the Baltimore
& Ohio tracks, which the company de-
sired to buy. Real estate men say $3.50
apiece would be fair price for these
lots. What do you suppose the owner
is standing out for? Only $500 each!
Is 1t surprising that the company OBJ
jects to this little game Of squeeze and
hold up?
1t is said the company is buying up
certain detached pieces of real estate in
upper Benwood for the purpose Of
erecting large number of tenement
houses, in which to house the large
number of additional workmen and
their families who will eventually be
attracted here by the large additions
to the Riverside plant. Certain 1t is
that some of the property the company
is seeking does not appear to be adapt
ed for extensions of the plant.
The 500 ton blast furnace, which is
one of the additions contemplated 10 be
erected on the whlteman tract above
the present plant, will be of capacity
twice as large as any blast furnace in
the Wheeling district. The upper Ben
wood furnace of the Riverside has a
capacity of 200 to $50 tons per day.

There is still much interest conferred
in the prospective pool northeast Of

owners are stIll cleaning out, and ex-
pect to put It to pumping In few days.
Notwithstanding the well is making
better showing than any at sclo, there
are those who express the opinion that
