LANCASTER New ERA. August Is, 99.


We are inclined to believe that only
the scarcity of old goods stands in the
way of very lively trade at the present
time. There is abundant inquiry for
old goods, but these are scarce, so scarce
in fact as to cut very small figure in
the general market, and to restrict the
volumne of trade. Buyers have secured
the country very thoroughly and all of
that kind that were to be had, have been
picked up and carted away. The sales
we have been advised of were $50 cases
sold by B. f. Good; $50 cases of old
goods bought and 300 cases sold by G.,
FL. Welchans & Co., $50 sold by NJ M.
Fry, and so cases sold by Eli Nissley,
Florin; in all l 100 cases. For the CORE
spending week OF last year 2, ia cases
were sold.
On last Thursday night, the long
looked for rain came, and in generous
measure too. 1t extended over nearly the
entire eastern part of the State. This
county was visited in every part with
about two inches or more, thus giving
time being. Although little late, the
late crops will be greatly benefited,
along with corn, potatoes, pasture and
other crops. On Sunday afternoon
another heavy rain fell here in the city,
but we learn it was local to consider
able extent, number of places north,
south and east from here getting very
little of it.
AS the cutting season is now on, we
would renew our annual advice not to
cut tobacco in an unripe condition. I'm
ripe tobacco never did and never will
make fine cigar tobacco. 1t is objec
tionabe mainly from the manufacturers
side, and he is the man who always has
the deciding say. 1t would be waste
of words to rehearse the arguments
against too early cutting. The farmers
all know them, have heard them so often
that they need no further information.
Sounder and more salable tobacco re-
suits from allowing it to become ripe be-
fore putting it in the barns.

New York.
New YORK, August 16, '99.

During the past week there has been
an active demand for new wrappers.
The preponderance of the inquiry was, of
course, for light goods; but the medium
and dard- -colored tobaccos are by no
means drug on the market, and bring
higher price than they have command
ed for years past. The new Big Flats
have been the center of attraction for
several days, and everybody appears
anxious to look at them. A few sales
have been made, wrapper lots bringing
from 30 to 40 cents, and some seconds
have brought as high as 22c.
Samples of New York State and New
England tobacco continues to arrive from
the packing centers, but not in as large
numbers as was expected. Several pack
ers have changed their minds about hav-
ing their tobacco sampled early, and will
not be ready to show their goods before
the first week in September. The New
England tobacco sampled and inspected
since our last issue shows about the
same conditions as reported in this col
umn last week. Some of it shows as
high as sixty per cent of marked tickets,
while other lots again are almost free
from damage. A New York packer of
Connecticut said today: "The Havana
Seed tobacco has undoubtedly suffered
very materially, and already started
boom for State goods. The Broad leaf,
although somewhat affected, will be very
salable; and although it did not come
out of the sweat exactly as it should
have done, it is good property, and you
will find that it will be taken rapidly.
The misfortune in Connecticut has dem
onstrated the advisa bility of artifcially
sweating tobacco, and more of it will be
handled in this way next year"
Sampling in Pennsylvania is progress
ing, and while black-rot and must are in
evidence, the crop as a whole seems to
have Jared better than the New England |
The new goods are not yet |
generally offered on the local market. A |
strong inquiry is springing up for 1898 |
Little Dutch. A feature of the week |
was the closing out of a packing of 1898 |
Big Flats, the lot consisting of 800 cases. |
The price is not disclosed Leaf.

We present herewith the tobacco sta
tistics of the largest growing county in
the state-one that produces over a
third of all grown within it's borders.
The figures are obtained from the same
source as those given last week of Rock
county, being compiled from the returns
of the township assessors by the county
clerks These statistics are probably as
nearly correct as the returns of other
years and are the only means of obtain
ing crop statistics that are approximately
correct:

The same industry in hunting out
stray lots of old tobacco remaining in
first hands continues. Altogether quite
a little is being lifted each week but it
would seem the end would surely come
sometime. Prices do not vary much
from former quotations and holders
seem ready enough to sell when an op-
portunity offers.
Sales reaching us since lastreport are:
Henry Nelson 100cs '97 at 10c.
Henry Erickson 50cs '9S at 74c.
L. FL. Teisberg 2Scs at 74c.
Mrs. Olson 4Ocs at 74c.
Carl Bosbon 30cs at 7c.
O. X. Odland 47cs at 734c.
Geo. Berthe 66cs at 734&615c.
G. E. Gunderson 51cs at 734c.
Packers are enjoying a moderatetrade.
G. L. Culton reports the sale of 300cs of
old leaf for the week. Mcintosh Bros.
and Pomeroy & Pelton have disposed of
small lots. Chas. F. Tallard has pur
chased 165cs of '96 from Ole Lee, 168cs

The harvest of the new crop is now in
full blast in all sections. A scarcity of
help is reported in some localities but
growers are working long hours now to
secure the crop. There is considerable
small tobacco standing in the fields
which seems destined to produce B stock
the weather of late being rather con-
ducive to that end.
Local dealers have been riding through
the growing districts good deal of late
locating the promising crops in the fields
and preparing memorandums for future
reference.
The shipments out of storage reach Is
cars, 76O cases, from this station to all
points for the week. Since last report
116Ocs of cigar leaf were exported from

EVANSVILLE, WIS, August Is, '99.

A two days spell of hot, sultry weather
termin ated in a severe electrical storm
Friday afternoon. A hail storm swept
over a portian of the county from the
northwest to the southwest corners The
storm began near the river in the town
of Fulton and followed a southwesterly
course to near SHOPPER.
About 500 acres of tobacco were dam
aged, about one third of which are of no
value and the rest veries in degrees of
damage, some very slightly.
1t was unfortunate that the storm
came SO late in the season, as much of
the tobacco was ready for harvest and
made the damage all the greater. The
storm struck portions of the towns of
Fulton, GAINESVILLE, Harmony, LaPrairie,
Rock and Johnstown, the hail belt being
about 20 miles long and from one to three
miles in width.
Around the warehouses business is
fair. Geo. Fl. Rumrill bought 200 cases
of '98 and sold 20 cases. L. B. Carle &
Son bought 80 cases of Claude Stebbins
at TIC. A. N. Jones shipped 100 cases
'9S this week. J. L. & M. F. Green have
finished working on strip stock.-Farm

TUNKHANNoCK.

The death Of Frank w. Dewitt of this
place occurred on Monday evening at
his home q few miles out of Tunkhan-
mock. He had been in poor health for
some time and was spending the sum-
mer on the farm in the hope of being
benefited by the change. He was
about so years of age, being born in
Falls township, this county, In 1S4S.
His father, Decker B. Dewitt, moved
from Falls township to Tunkhannock
and became connected with the Wyom-
ing National bank here at the time
when c. p. Miller was president and
Samuel Stark cashier. At the death
of Mr.. Stark, Decker d. Dewitt be-
came cashier of the bank. Frank en-
tered the bank as bookkeeper. On
the death of his father he was elected
to fill the vacancy and held the position
from 1880 to 1894, when he resigned, his
place being taken by John b. Fassett-
He made good official and the books
were we'll cared for in his hands. AZ
ter he retired from the bank he dabbled
a little in politics, taking the Demo-
Il. w. Lewis and daughter left on
the noon train Wednesday for New
York city, where Miss Lewis will take
the steamer for Europe. She goes with
a crowd of school friends and expects
to spend most of the summer abroad.
The regular meeting of the borough
council was down for Tuesday even
