NEW YORK, July 10, '99.

ANLN AOl'AAf - Wy ACj w.
The past week has been a quiet one in
the leaf market. A limited amount of
old goods has changed hands, and at
very satisfactory prices. Occasional lots
of new tobacco have been sold from
packers samples, but owing to the spec
ulative nature of this manner Of trading,
buyers are not readily found. The buy
ing of the 1899 New England crop in the
field indicating that high prices are to
be paid this year, has created more
active demand for the '98 Connecticut.
Local dealers believe that growers are
being overpaid for their standing crops,
and that the '98 goods, bought at prices
now ruling, will be good property next
year.
The reports concerning the damage
done the New England crops by the hail
storm of July y, vary. Our Springfield
correspondent writes that few thousand
dollars will cover the entire damage,
while other advices state that some 300
acres of tobacco was destroyed.
The export market is extremely dull,
and exporters claim that only tobacco
bought at very low figures can be shipp-
ed with profit.
Havana-While sales have slackened
up bit, there is still strong nndertone
of business in the market, and holders
manifest no disposition to induce sales
through concessions in prices. Good
Vuelta filters are in strong demand, and
there is no haggling about values when
the right goods are produced.
Among the sales reported were 113
bales 1898 Vuelta Abajo at 90 cents; 60
bales 1898 Vueltas, 92c; 172 bales 1898
Partido, colas, SOC; 212 bales 1898 Rene
dios, 1st caps, sec; 13O bales 1888 Rene
dios, 1st caps, SIC; SO bales 1898 Vueltas,
CSC; all in bond
Sumatra-The activity of week ago
has given way to quieter market, but
still the volume of business transacted
makes a very good showing for this sea
son of the year. Those who exercised
great care in selecting their tobacco at
the inscriptions this year are disposing
of their purchases; the others are not.
There is every indication that a splendid
fall business will be done in Sumatra to-
bacco.-Leaf

The weather man is doing his best to
help the tobacco growers this year and
has given them another week of good
growing weather, which has added
greatly to the appearance of the crop,
both the early and later fields.
Some of the earliest fields begin to
show the buds and, in few instances,
topping will begin next week. The heavy
rains have caused an abundance of weeds
that are causing much trouble to those
who are behind in their work.
Around the warehouses a fairly good
trade is reported, but no large transac-
tions have come to light. The '98 goods
seem to be going through the sweat all
right and no great damage has been dis
covered Farm and Home.

The market has settled down to its
usual midsummer dulness, and nobody
seems to care for it either. Old stock is
pretty nearly sold out, and what is still
held cannot be had for bargrin. 1t is
being boarded for an advance. And as
for the new crops, they are not yet ready
for sampling, and advance sales have
stopped because packers think they can
realize more when the goods are shown
as they are. All of which is inspiring
the market with very buoyant spirit,
the best proof of which is the previous
ness of buying already the growing crops.

The Internal Revenue Bureau proposes
to take summary measures to enforce the
regulations as to the records of leaf deal
ers. The necessity for more accurate
accounts grows to some extent out of the
concessions which the Bureau has made
to leaf dealers in permitting sales of re-
tail quantities, and the Commissioner
has decided that the law requires him
to keep a very close track Of all transac-
tions concerning which Government
records are contemplated. He has,
therefore, issued the following circular
to collectors of internal revenue through
out the country:
1T is the purpose of this office, with
the assistance Of collectors, to cause leaf
dealers to adopt correct and uniform
methods in keeping their accounts in
Book SO, and all dealers in leaf tobacco
in your respective districts should be
notified that the following rules for keep
ing accounts in. Book SO are imperative,
and that they will be held to a strict ac-
count for any violation thereof:
Il. Enter on the left hand or debit side
the actual quantity of leaf tobacco on
hand at the beginning of the quarter.
- Enter daily on the debit side all
leaf tobacco purchased or received, Civ
ing date, number and kind of packages,
actual weight of tobacco, kind of to-
bacco, from whom received, business and
residence of the person from whom pur-
chased or received.
20. Enter daily on the right hand or
credit side all leaf tobacco sold, with
date of sale, number and kind of pack
ages, actual weight of tobacco, kind of
tobacco, name, place of business, busl-
ness, district and State.
a. Leaf tobacco is not held to be sub
ject to entry in Book SO as sold until it
is actually or constructively delivered to
the purchaser, and the entries in the
books of the seller and purchaser must
be concurrent entries, so that tracing the
tobacco may be facilitated.
''5. Leaf tobacco contracted for In
large quantities with the purpose of de-
livering the same in installments will not
be entered as sold on the date of the con-
tract, but each installment will be en-
tered as sold on the date of its shipment
or delivery to the purchaser.
''6 Qualified dealers in leaf tobacco
who sell on commission only are govern
ed by the same regulations as dealers
who purchase leaf tobacco for the pur
pose of selling the same to other persons.
If for any reason they return leaf tobacco
to the consignor they are required to en-
ter the quantity returned on the credit
side of the book.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

While most of the early set tobacco
fields are showing up remarkably we'll
for this time of the year, ride through
the tobacco growing sections OF the state
would impress one that there are great
many uneven fields that will require
several weeks of the most favorable
weather yet to bring them up to the
average of good tobacco. The uneven
ness at the present time is attributed to
cut worms and the necessary re-setting
as we'll as an extremely late planting IN
some cases. So far as the uniform even
ness of the growth goes the present crop
will hardly compare with that of year
ago this date. Without the very best
weather conditions there is prospect
that the growing crop will yield good
percentage of short leaf. A drouth of a
couple weeks duration about this time
would certainly accomplish it.

The spotting patent case of Rickard
& Long against SO New England tobacco
growers was on trial before Judge Town
send at New Haven recently and has at
tracted good deal of attention. W. r.
Simonds conducted the case for growers
and made strong plea, introducing to-
bacco growers and scientists who COM
pletely upturned the claims made by
Messrs. Rickard & Long. Mr.. Simonds
held that the vital and assimilative func-
tion of growing plant is not patentable.
Any so-called process which has for an
essential element the vital functions of a
plant or animal is not patentable. The
patent in suit is void for lack of patent
able novelty.
Sixteen old tobacco growers of Con
necticut, practically lifelong growers,
testify without qualification to the in
furious effects of spotting Connecticut
tobacco with soda; and II of the Is tes-
titled most positively that spOtting Con
necticut leaf with soda is detrimental
| to it's burning qualities. These are re-
inforced by the testimony of DIR. E. FL.
Jenkins, the most competent man in the
| world to speak on this question. The
| patent is void for lack of utility. The
| testimony of Is lifelong growers and
dealers in Connecticut wrapper leaf was
introduced. The whole Is condemned
the artificial spotting as most positively
injurious to the quality and intrinsic
value of the tobacco. No one of them
| could see that the spotting promotes the
| CONFUSION of the leaf; IL testified that
it hinders and hurts the CONFUSION of
the leaf. The baseless nature of the
theory that spotting natures otherwise
immature top leaves is apparent from
the fact that the spottirg must be done
at the practical maturity Of the plant,
an,. the plant then cut just as quick as
the spot is produced. Not only has the
plant then stopped growing, but no time
remains for any maturing before cutting
of leaves then immature. A decision Of
the case has not as yet been rendered,
but whichever way made it will be re-
pealed.

ne FlOIeuCG WSSl puollouCu al
article last week from the pen OF c.
Edwin Harwood, of Glenada, a
plated townsite across the river
from Florence, on a hillside covered
with burnt stumps and logs. The
article first appeared in the San
Francisco Bulletin. and is the most
vile, malicious, deeply dyed with
inky falsehood concoction of mis-
representation that ever emanated
from the brain of a man suffering
the merited agonies of Hades. The
common boomer would blush if ac
cused of such perfdy, and the place
containing such a man can never
thrive until he has been driven, an
outcast, from them, or has, by a
kind Providence, been removed to
that place where is heard weeping
and gnashing of teeth" The inky
shadow cast about him would for
all time kill the most promising
town on earth.
Weatherson, publisher of the
West and Mayor of Florence, says
he considers the statements made
correct in every particular, and by
this statement, places himself in the
same position as the writer and
merits the same expression of dis
approval from all people. In our
opinion the state penitentiaries are
full of men whose acts were not
nearly so harmful and malicious as
the writing and publishing Of such
All article as corroborated by this
same Weatherson. Out upon them
both! Where is their manhood!
THE LEADER apologies in ad-
vance for its language, and feels
that its family Of home readers will
forgive its speaking plainly what
is plainly true. Here is a portion
of the article:
cat this time while the people
are thinking seriously about the
matter, 1 wish to submit, through
the Bulletin, few facts which will
probnbly be of interest to the busi-
ness men of San Francisco"
Shippers and others interested
in this trade realize that vessels of
sufficient draft to handle the freigh
to and from the Willamette valley
cannot and never can safely cross
the Yaquiua bar. This fact is also
we'll known to the engineers who
have had charge of the work at
Yaquina bay. All the appropria-
tions which may be made in the
future for that place will be some
form of graft "
Building jetties will not deepen
chaunel through a reef of rocks.
This is, without doubt, the reason
the Yaquina bay item was rejected
in the last congress. The Yaquina
bar is as good today as it will ever
be, besides plentiful lack of water
inside the bay makes it very poor
harbor. The sooner these facts are
generally known the better it will
be for all those who want to share
in the trade with the Willamette
valley"
"The object of this article is to
correct a seemingly general impress
sion that the Yaquina route is the
only short route to the valley"
THE real gateway through which
all all that commerce will eventu.
ally pass is forty miles nearer tc
San Francisco, through the Sius.
law bay. This a sand bar with five
fathoms of water inside. There
has been 500, 900 extended upon
the Siuslaw bar and it now has a
better channel than Yaquina."

weak kneed and selfish to the path
Of duty, and shown how a true
American can place country above
party:
"In dealing with foreign foe,
there is but one place for true
patriot, and that is on the side of
his country.
"There is much more than mere
sentiment involved in the declara-
ton of adherence in time of war to
ones own country, whether righ t
or wrong, and no man, in my opin-
ion has right to say anything, or
do anything, that will chill the en-
thusiasm of the people or impair
the vigor of the government in such
a crisis. The accepted theory Of war,
outside of Rosseau and other dream
ers, is, that the nation, considered
as whole and the people comprising
it individually, are all involved in
common hostility, and although it
is impossible as a matter of fact for
the whole population or its indi-
vidual units to participate in an
actual passage at arms with the
combatants on the other side, like
wise engaged, yet as matter of law
there is no escape for either party to
the conflict and liabilities and obli-
cations of such predicament.
A man may feel that war is fool
ish; he may at heart be opposed to
all war as unphilosophical and un-
christian, but when the war is on
he becomes a party to it, Whether
he wills it or not; and when his fell
low-men, as his representatives, en-
gagged in the discharge of a duty
common alike to him and them, are
risking their lives on the lard and
sea for his protection, he has no
right, measured, not by the highest,
but by the lowest, standard of duty,
except to submit to the inevitable.
