How we got her home don't know.
1T seemed hours before we reached the
hotel steps and delivered her over to

IA the hotel. Guy never said a word,
but his face was very white. He, too,
understood that my poor sister loved
him.
For six long, weary days I never saw
Guy. He had not left the hotel, but
was staying, so they said, until the
crisis or Margarets illness was over,

He looked at me, and his face grew
pale beneath the bronze.

much better as to be able to see stran-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, July q, 1899.


The uneoid remnants of the 96 crop
are still being sought after in. quiet
way and few hundred cases gathered
in during the week. The country dis
tricts however are getting to be pretty
thoroughly cleaned up of all cased
goods. Prices remain as previously
quoted. Chas. L. Culton purchased
nearly 2O0cs during the week.
The large transaction among packers
was the sale of 913 cases of old and new
goods by S. N. Neprud of Westby to M.
Ell. Bekkedal. G. l.. Culton reports the
sale of 1O0cs for the week. Mort Carrier
sold 4Ocs of '98 L. B. Carle & Son.
The weather continues favorable for a
satisfactory growth of the new crop. A
few of the early fields are now being
topped, but this work is not general as
yet. A vast amount of lumber is being
sold for new sheds that are going up in
the tobacco sections.
The shipments out Of storage reach a
total of Is car loads, 7O0cs, from this
station to all points for the week. Since
last report 1125cs of cigar leaf were ex-
ported from New York.

Connecticut Valley.

Everything in regard to trade in leaf
tobacco is at a standstill. Ii a grower
has any of the '98 crop he is quite willing
to hold on to it. There is, however, but
very small quantity still held by our
farmers within the limits of Whately.
We know of but two lots; w. w. San
derson has about 10 ton and Seth b.
Crafts a similar amount. These are good
lots. The new crop is coming on rapidly;
some of the earliest will be topped this
| week. E. H. Bardwell of Hatfield has
about 10 acres ready for topping, and
many others, including the Warmers,
| Graveses and Billings G. M. Crafts of
North Hadley has six of his II acres
| ready to be topped the 10th, and this is
true of much of the early set. Thus far
| the winds, as we'll as hail storms, have
done little if any damage. When hail
did fall the plants were too small to be
damaged. We have only heard of one
field that ashit where damage resulted,
and therefore only small strip of the
country was affected.
A plenty of rain has fallen of late and
vegetation is making up for lost time as
is shown by it's rapid growth. We have
heard of no instance where the grower
had made up his mind to plant SO many
acres, but what he has done as he had
intended. So we are of the opinion that
from five to eight per cent will cover the
increase. The crop is coming on rapidly
and the stand is good. OF course where
the circumstances have compelled
several times stacking, there is a case
where it is uneven. But these cases ex-
ist in the middle or later planting in the
crOpS that are uneven The early SET
ting stands we'll, and is either topped, or
will be by the 18th. 1t is usual to allow
it to stand until it is we'll ripened, and
such tobacco is always better than when
are hurried just now as never at any
other time of the year-Cultivator,

ment of Agriculture established an ex-
perimental station at Lake City last
year to cultivate the Cuban tobacco bac-
terra and inoculate the native plant with
it. Some of this tobacco was raised last
year, but it is too soon to know fully the
commercial value of DR.. Sachslund's S
discovery, which is patented, by the way,
so the public will do we'll to communi-
cate with him or his agents before breed
ing Cuban bacteria on their own account.
If the distinctive quality of Cuban to-
bacco can be transferred by laboratory
methods to the tobacco of New England
for example, or Wisconsin, it is easy to
predict fine cigars. The day may be
near at hand, therefore, when Wiscon-
sin tobacco may be made to equal that of
the Vuelta Abajo district, which. by the
universal verdict of smokers, possesses
the finest flavor in the world.

Lancaster.
LANCASTER New ERA, July IL, 80.

Although the past week took in holi-
day, and a second bank holiday, a very
fair volume of business was transacted.
The large output of cigars in this dis
trict in the month of June-nearly co.
OOO-may in part account for it.
Manufacturers are running out their
stock, and have to replace it with fresh
supply. Still, as much of the tobacco
sold went to buyers from distance, it
will hardly do to attach SO much impor-
tance to the local cigar output. There
does seem, however, to be a better out
look than for some time past and we be
lieve the outlook for a good fall trade is
excellent. The sales reported we're 425
cases bought and 23S cases sold by M. M.
Fry; 14S cases sold by Walter S. Bare;
55 cases bought and 10 sold by Isaac
Stirk, and 3S cases of spotted goods sold
by r. E. Jacoby to E. Soloman, of Bos
ton. In all 923 cases. For the CORE
spending week last year the sales were
S0S cases.
There were frequent showers during
the past week, which were only partial
in their extent, but no doubt the entire
country was we'll covered by them. Sew
eral of them were quite heavy and we
understand there was considerable dam
age from washing and flooding. 1t is too
late to do any replanting. Still it can
not have been enough to affect the ex-
tent of the crop much,

The dry weather previous to the 9th
inst, induced growers to withdraw their
tobacco from the market by advancing,
asking prices 'out of sight" and riding
after crops was to a great extent ahan-
doned. The rain on the above date will
probably change the views Of farmers so
as to induce trading again in short
time.

Another week of good growing weather
has given the tobacco crop big start
toward maturity. A very few fields that
were set in May have made most won
derful growth and will be ready for top
ping in ten days. The frequent rains
and warm weather have given the later
crops good start and the outlook is
very promising.

New York.
New YORK, July y, '99.

Following the inactivity which charac-
terized the leaf market during the holi-
day week, healthful reaction has set in
and for the past few days business has
been steadily picking up. Although no
large transactions have been reported, it
is very evident at this writing that in
quiry for tobacco of all grades is more
general than it has been any time this
month, and enough transactions have
been put through to show that there is a
substantial tendency to buy. In Seed
leaf there is an active demand for b
and binders, and sal es in 100 case lots
are not uncommon. The '99 force sweat
ed Connecticut is being taken readily by
manufacturers, and where heretofore
market for these goods, the latter are
now being sold to some of the largest
firms.
Sumatra-An active week is reported
in both old and new goods and the sales
amount to about 800 bales. One firm
disposed of 119 bales, another of 152
bales and third of 126. The quantity
of fancy, light spotted tobaccos is de-
creasing rapidly, and the demand for
such goods growing stronger in the same
ratio, with inquiries becoming more
numerous every day. However, manu-
facturers are by this time in a position
to know what the 1899 crop offers, and
they must now select from the holdings
in the hands of American importers. The
sooner they secure what they require,
the better selections they will be able to
make.
Havana Taking the scarcity of goods
into consideration, this market has also
shown considerable life. During the
past ten days one firm alone sold $50
bales, part of which was 1898 and part
1896 tobacco. Although some importers
have not felt theimprovementa as strongly
as others, it has been, in degree, quite
general.-Leaf.

here recently by his purchases. On
Tuesday he received the following crops:
James Carlisle, Cicero, 8cs; Fred Sahm,
North Syracuse, 5cs; Albert Smith, North
Syracuse, 8cs; Mrs. Eugene Ward,
Cicero, les; G. L. Sterns, North SYRIA
cuse, ICES. All these crops were sold at

Tobin has bought Norman Sheldon's
packing of 3O8cs, and Marquisee Bros,
of Weedsport, 122cs. He is in the mar
ket for all grades of domestic goods. The
recent rains have proved most beneficial
to the new crop Gazette.

The thick-soled, white-edged shoes
seen upon the feet of the Cinnamon are
all imported from China, most of them
from Canton, where they are made by
hand. The white edge is of a thick,
rigid sole, made of material resembling
plaster, and, If it becomes soiIed can
be cleaned and whttened again. Some
shoes have the wide white edge of this
sole finished with a glazed or polished
surface, which can be cleaned by rub
bling 1t with a damp cloth.
The bottom soles of these shoes are
made of a number of layers of rather
thin leather placed one upon another,
making a built-up sole. This sole els
stitched through and through in many
places on regular lines, giving the bot
tom of the shoe a sort of quilted effect.
This work is neatly and trinity done,
even on the cheap shoes. There are
some Chinese shoes without the charac-
teristic, thick, white-edged soles. and
provided with soles of leather only
The top of the Chinese shoe is of cloth
