Connecticut Valley.

All is very quiet in the Connecticut
River Valley. Really the only thing we
have is the progress of the work OF trans
planting, the watering of the dry and
dusty hills of withered plants, and the
fighting of the mean, dirty cut worm.
They appear to thrive the best in such
dry time as the present. So the growers
are busy striving to make the plants
grow. Occasionally we hear of the sale
of a few lots Of '97 leaf at low figures
Probably it has not improved by holding
nor has the price increased. The TACT IS
that the bulk of it was nearly worthless
Occasionally a lot could be found where
the drainage was such that it pulled
through pretty we'll and is fair goods.
The SO will probably soon be in the
sweat. and by the last of August will
have dried sufficiently to draw the sam
piles. It would be better to wait until
| the first of September.
Our correspondents write as follows;
Feeding Hills, June Z: tobacco plants
are being rapidly set, some OF the far
mers having finished, excepting where
they are obliged to reset. The land IS
very dry and plants are set almost en-
tirelv by machine, as they seem TO do
| better than when set by hand" POquo-
mock, June 8: No sales to report. The
work of transplanting is we'll advanced,
1t is awfully dry, yet plants seem to look
better than anyone would expect, Some
resetting to stock up. We hear of some
complaint of the work Of the cut worm
but it is not general" Deertied: "Plants
are fairly plenty, and the work of setting
is now well advanced. Some consider
able work has to be done in stocking
over Most of our people are waiting for
a rainy time to do this work. Fully an
average crop will be grown here this
| summer. Cultiyator,

New York.
New YORK, June "A, '99.

The Seed leaf market has taken
another turn for the better, and the un-
dercurrent Of activity has commenced to
show on the surface. The demand for
fine new goods and old binders and fl
lers is growing steadily stronger, and
more liberal buying is noticeable. Con
siderable interest is being shown in the
new Connecticut Broad leaf, and one
deal now pending includes the entire
holdings of local packer New Eng
land tobacco of the 1898 crop, generally
speaking, continues to change hands,
though not in large lots. Some Con
necticut Havana Seed sold at from % to
27 cents, running, while Broad leaf
brought from 26 to % cents.
A deal involving the purchase Of 750
cases '98 thinner Spanish from an Ohio
packer by New York firm, is still pend
ing.
The transaction Of the week was the
sale of 400 boxes of 9S Big Flats to
local manufacturing concern. Fine light
and spotted force-sweated New England
tobacco is still in active demand, but
the supply is steadily diminishing. Some
houses have entirely cleaned out their
stock of such goods.
Havana-The volume of business done
during the week was small, and the in
dications are that transactions will CON
tinue so during the rest Of the summer.
Many importers find it impossible to
make suitable purchases in Cuba, and
they hold what little tobacco they have
at firm prices.
Sumatra Although the business of
the week was very unequally distributed
the sales aggregate $50 bales, about one
third of which was new tobacco. Two
lots, totaling 1O2 bales, went to Western
manufacturers. Now that buyers have
satisfied their curiosity over the '98 to-
bacco, the old goods are receiving more
attentiOn.-Leaf.

IOGER1OAN, w 1S'i y uA1C ~, lOOc'
The 99 crop is going into the fields
with all possible dispatch these days
and by the close of the week probably
the major part will be transplanted. The
conditions of both soil and weather con-
tinue favorable to securing good stand
in the fields and the early set has taken
good root and is we'll started With an
abundance of plants everywhere the
growers ought to be able to finish plant
ing the crop in all sections before July
1st, in which event it will be in the
fields at the usual date for this work.
Business in old stock is decidedly quiet
at present. We can learn of no sales
from first hands and transactions among
packers that have come to notice embrace
only the sale of 175cs by G. L. Culton
and 165cs by John Soulman of James
vile to Underhill.
The shipments out of storage reach y
car loads, 990cs, from this station to al
points for the week. Since last report
1165cs of cigar leaf were exported from

pertinent with the 81 crop did not sue
ceed. Last years crops were bought at
right figures and seem to give satisfac-
ton. But the growers will undoubtedly
raise the ante this year, and who knows
how the crops will turn out? Besides,
there is a plentiful supply of Havana
wrapper leaf in the 80 Vuelta, and there
will be no need to make "clear Havana
cigars" with the first cuts of broad leaf.
For the present, however, everything
goes that will do service, and our re-
ports from the other leaf markets are
Just as satisfactory as from our own
The sales for the week aggregate 25OO
boxes, mostly in small lots.
The Sumatra market was Just tritie
more animated than it has been for
many weeks past. The importations of
the new crop are, not being considered
altogether as the Cinderella which it
was branded persistently all along. To
Judge from the sales made, manufactur-
ers must see much virtue in the new
leaf Certainly, the price, which is high,
cannot be the alluring medium. About
$50 bales of the new moved off during
the week, among which was the sale of a
single lot of 81 bales to one party. AS a
rule, however, the demand is more for
the older crops, of which POO bales were
disposed of during the week.
The briskness of the Havana market
remains unchanged Nearly 2O00 bales

The activity of the leaf market re
mains undated The demand includes
all types, with Wisconsin and New Eng
land leaf in the lead. The unwonted
advance sales of the new crops, which
never before used to move before the Fall
season, may stimulate packers to specu-
late unusually early this year in the
growing crops. and if they do, the sad,
and many cases, the ruinous experience
of the early investments liz the 80 crop
is likely to be repeated. Because a
number of the smaller manufacturers
went back this year to the use of the
domestic wrapper leaf, which was forced
for them through the sweat, it is not
altogether certain that the same expert
ment will succeed again next year. In
consequence of the Mckinley rate OF
duty in 80 any number of manufacturers

crop of 81, and because there was a boom
In that crop in consequence of that ex-
perience the packers invested early and
at high figure in the 92 crops. But
that investment proved an immense fail

In 1894 General Frederick Funston,
the famous hero of the Twentieth Kan
sas Volunteer Infantry, made journey
of several hundred miles to visit the
whalers on the ice-hoes about Herchel
Island. The story of his experience, as
he tells it in the July number Of Harper

Western colonel, besides being a good
fighter, is very entertaining writer.
The July number contains also five first

articles of great practical value to the
average American boy. Canoes and

timely article on a sport that is growing
more popular every day. This article

LANCASTER NEW ERA, y ullC Id, JJ.
The trade is complaining of dullness,
and no doubt there is not the activity In
the leaf trade that is desirable yet there
is a good deal of tobacco sold from week
to week. It must not be forgotten that
there is nearly $50 leaf dealers in the
country, and if each one of them sold
only ten cases per week we should have
an aggregate of $500 cases. But sales
are not made in that way. Often a
packing is sold in lump or in several
lots, and, such being the case, most
packers, especially those in the country,
can make only two or three sales in
year In the city, however, things are
different. Here packer not only sells
his own packing, but then he goes to
work and buys others, and sells them,
thus doing a steady business right along
during the entire year. 1t is among
these dealers that complaint of dullness
is oftenest heard, as they expect to do
business every day in the year.
The sales of which we have heard were
7OOcs by Seitz & Fralich, Toes by DR..
Shearer to J. G. Zook, 35Ocs bought by
NJ. NJ. Fry, and 150cs sold by the same
party, and 235cs sold by Hildebrand
Bros. of Strasburg, 1897 Havana seed, in
all 1455cs. For the corresponding week
of last year the sales were 197cs.
The weather during the past week was
very favorable to the young plants.
Both rains and sunshine came in very
liberal doses, and the farmers who had
not yet planted were busily engaged in
that work. The bulk of the tobacco
raised this year will be seedleaf that
seeming to be the largest money yielder,
since desirable wrappers seem to be out
of the question.
