New YORK May 13, '99.


The condition of our leaf market is not
governed any. more solely by, domestic
considerations. Like our country at
large, the leaf market is becoming more
cosmopolitan. more in touch with the
needs and the changed conditions of the
European markets. Prosperity raises
prices everywhere and fosters cult
waited taste even in cheap Germany. The
failure Of the Brazilian tobacco crop,
which supplies Germany with its cheap
leaf, has forced the great cigar industry
of that country to have recourse to our
country for supplying it with sufficient
tobacco to replace the Brazilian. For
the. past few weeks, therefore, there was
a constant hunting for and buying up of
all the lower grades of the New England
and Wisconsin crops, and, thousands
upon thousands of cases of these types
were taken for the European market al
prices which in some instances were
stunning Export prices for Wisconsin
at &c and for trashy New England filters
at 7c and TIC, and cuttings command
ing 1Oc and 12c, are rather remarkable.
And the country has been secured
throughly for these goods and cleaned
of them pretty thoroughly. The effect
of this irresistible European demand on
our leaf supply was the maintenance of
stiff figures for the limited and cleaned
stock left on our hands And herein lies
the explanation why, in spite of the dis
inclination of our home manufacturers
to invest speculatively in their raw ma
terial and in spite of their efforts to re-
duce the price of leaf, the prices have
been uniformly and steadily kept up.
mo n1,n pf
lower grades to Europe thee is no sur
plus left for our domestic market, and
oldfillers are getting scarcer from day to
day. A revelation like this seems to be
daWning on our large factories, for
though thephenomenal1 activity of our
cigar industry has slackened up some
what for the past few weeks, the market
has been more active and brisker than
during the halcyon days of the cigar in
dustrys extraordinary activity. Oonles
tic leaf5of all grades is moving in in
creased quantities, and the Falls busi-
ness in new crops is being largely an
ticipated. This is true not only OF New
England wrapper leaf that has lbeen
forced" through the sweat, but also OF
new seconds and new filters. TheL tran
saetions during the week reached oOOO

Z The u. S. Tobacco Journal through its
quotation published elsewhere IN this tln
paper outlines an explanation for the
unusual inquiry after country packings
and low grade goods that was recently
witnessed in this market. 1t finds an ex-
PLANTATION in the extraordinary exporta-
tion that has taken place the past few
months which has cleaned up the grow
ing states of cheap tObaccos and left the
market short of moderate priced goods
needed for home consumption. good
share of the new filler grades have al
ready been sold to 60 abroad while
year ago they were consumed at home.
The manufacturers have at last awoke
to the fact. that the goods needed by
them. are, slipping away. The exporters
have quietly gathered up their needs
earlier in the season than usual and at
prices too, that are much stronger than
they were wont to pay, leaving a class of
goods behind that will cost the domestic
users of cheap tobacco more, money than thai
they have heretofore paid. The cherpoot
and az cigarette 10 manufacturers 8 have
through their agents been attempting
to say save E something in the rush but the
exporters. have really stole a march on
them. The situation helps, the market a5frlk<eet

Coal Miners Agreement.

PITTsBUR re-, Jan. "a The coal min
ing rate for four of the large competing
states in the country was agreed to BY
the joint scale committee Of operators
and miners today. All that remains
is its adoption BY the Interstate con-
yention. This will probably be done
before night. The Illinois operators
made the work of the committee COM
paritiyeIy easy by receding from their
demands for a double standard and
agreeing to arbitration of the machine
differential price. The adoption of the
report will prevent national strike.
Any trouble that may occur during the
year will be in the Hooking Valley,
Ohio, and at the mines where operators
refused TO be party to the contract.

MYSTERIOUS A

Six weeks ago, just across the Mexican
line, south of Bisbee, John Grayson, a
cowboy, disappeared from sight. The
last generally known of him was when
he was squirting his pony n~orthward with
a small band Of American cowboys and
Mexican frontier guards in hot pursuit.
The cowboys and guards returned, but it
was deemed impolite at the time to ques-
ton them concerning the success or fail
ure Of their hunt. Grayson's saddled
horse was found, but tina was all.
Yesterday a decay1ng body was dlscov-
cred in Brow's pasture, C short distance
north of the international line. 1t was
that of Grayson. There was a bullet hole
in the head, and neal by lay a hat, bull
tel-perforated and powder burned, snow
ing that the fatal shot had been fired at
close range. A foot from the left hand
was his revolver, with every chamber
discharged.
The cowboys of the party that rode
after Grayson are now being lnterro-
! gated, but only offer the suggestion that
he killed himself through sheer WEAKNESS
Of a wasted life. Their only admission is
that they chased him as far as the fence
Of Brow's pasture. His horse refused to
jump the barb wire obstruction, so he
jumped off and ran on on foot, apparent
ly with Brow's cabin as his objective
point. Their recollection then becomes
misty.
Grayson by his fellow was called an OBJ
stinate man. He ard John Tonkl were
in the employ of r. A. Packard. engaged
in driving north a herd of Sonora cattle.
A heifer escaping from the herd, Tonkln
rode after her and tried to turn her back.
Grayson insisted on turning her PACK
from the opposite side. There had been
an emphatic exhange of curses, when
Grayson whipped out his revolver and
shot Tonkin through the heart.-New

POINT OF A HAT PIN.

New York Times: Two ladies were
late arrivals at Wallack's theater a few
evenings since. The first act was OF and
the lights were very low. AS sometimes
happens with ladies', there was consider
able hustle and fuss before they were
finally settled in their seats. AS a final
ity Of their preparation to enjoy the play
there was the removal of a couple of
faring and towering hats. 1t seemed
then as if the hustle attending the ar
rivals would no longer interfere with the
enjoyment of the play by their neigh
bors. But it was only the beginning.
There was a vacant seat in front Of one
of the ladies. A young man occupied the
aisle seat in front of the other. She back
of the front seat impaled her hat with a
hat pin to the back of the vacant chair.
The other lady essayed to do the same
thing. A howl that wasn't suppressed
rang through the house, a startled young
man leaped into the air as if he had been
shot, carrying with him the hat of my
lady Nc. 2 FIRMLY attached to the back
of his dress o A screech from the
lady. Frantic grabbing for the hat by
both the man and the woman. A general
disturbance in the vicinity of the two
seats, until finally the bowling man de-
tached himself from both picture hat and
hat pin, and sank back into his seat with
a manifest sigh of relief. Hat and hat
pin We're returned to the woman. Pro-
fuse apologies from the woman in a stage
whisper that could be heard by half the
people in the theater. And that is the
reason why a young man we'll known
about the uptown resorts now has Occa-
sion to emark about a dozen times each
day and evening:
For heavens sake, please keep your
hand off my shoulder" and at once has
