The rush of business in our leaf mar
| ket was somewhat arrested this week by
the two holidays, which kept most of the
| offices closed and a considerable number
| of buyers from coming to town. Be
sides sampling could not be kept going
| fast enough to supply the demand For
| as fast as the samples came in they we're
grabbed at, and whoever got hold of
them first would not let them go again.
Nothing like it has occurred in our mar
ket for years and years, and yet-behind
the exhaustion from the heavy business
is not to be found that complacent self
satisfaction that comes from plethoric
moneymaking While the volume of
business has been unprecedented for this
time of the year, while six months
business has been crowded into six
weeks it is limited already that the bal
ance sheets at the end of the year will
not show the profits commensurate with
this immense volume of business and
will fall behind many another and Stacker
year. Their estimations, however, are
made only from the records of sales of
the new crops. The demand is still
chiefly for the New England leaf and
Big Flats. There is hardly any other
stock in the market. The Wisconsin is
not sampled yet, and in Pennsylvania
and Ohio they are just starting in sam.
pling. And of old goods the market is
almost bare. About 1900 boxes of New
England and 1900 boxes of Big Flats
were taken, in most instances at the
price asked, not offered. In odds and
ends quite a business was done, too, an
almost anything in the shape of a cigar
leaf sells.
The Sumatra market remains likewise
active. About 400 bales were disposed
of in this short week. Nearly half of it
went to Philadelphia alone. The Quaker
City has awakened to the fact that the
new Sumatra is just as desirable as the
Old
In the Havana market there is no
change. The old stock is pretty nearly
cleaned out, and buyers are anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the new crop.
When that comes in Havana will have
a rush and a boom all to ITSELF journal,

Connecticut Valley.

Everything in the tobacco line re-
mains about as at our last report. A
violent thunder shower, with an immense
display of electricity Sunday evening,
passed down the valley seeming to follow
the river, and Monday morning was cool
with a strong northerly wind, rather in
dicating cold wave, and we fear frost,
but we hope not, as there are many late
pieces of tobacco that would be injured
if frost should come this week. The
early fields are housed and the owners
are glad to see the change in the weather
with brisk winds to bridge them past the
sweating season.. The spotting suit ter
inmates in favor of the growers, and
Rickard & Long will now probably stop
threatening the growers with suits at
law with untold damages, and probably
the fad is nearly ended. The whole
thing is rather amusing. The fact is
nature paints the leaf better than the
grower can with caustic soda.

LANCASTER New ERA, Sept 5, '99.

The opening of fall sees our ware
houses nearly empty of 1897 goods, and
none to speak of of older date, and with
good many of the 1898 goods also sold.
Under these circumstances we think the
trade in this locality has very little cause
to complain of the general outlook at the
present time. The year opened with a
good many forebodings in consequent of
our new tobacco growing possessions,
but things have quieted down, and our
buyers and packers are still doing busi-
ness at the old stand
The sales that have been reported to
us are 122cs sold by Walter S. Bare and
25Ocs bought and 120cs sold by M. NJ.
Fry. For the corresponding week of last
year 202cs were sold.
The cutting season is now in full blast.
A great many fields were cut last week,
and more will be during the present
week. There is great deal of good to-
bacco and there will be some not SO
good. The wrappers of good quality will
be. scarce. There is belief, however,,
that it contains plenty of tobacco the
manufacturers will want.

The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. seems in half persuaded way to
revoke the warehouse tax ruling, at least
the collectors have been instructed to
let up on the prosecutions until the de-
partment really finds out where it is at.
1t has got further enough along the
right road to say that genuine storage
warehouses located at distance from
the home Office for the chief purpose of
being within reach of the tobacco grow
ers are not subject to special tax. This
is only what packers have contended as
their right all along and the department
just begins to see the point. But will
the dealers who have put up their good
money, under pressure from the collec-
tors, get it back?

Columbia county has again been very
fortunate in growing an ideal crop of
tobacco this year. 1t seems at this stage
of it's development to be near perfection,
the leaf is large and entirely free from
any damage by the elements. Harvest

this week. A half dozen buyers of the
new crop are in the field representing two
firms, one from Edgerton and another
from Madison, perhaps two hundred
acres have changed hands. Prices

that the decision of Judge Townsend

be sustained, is that it's process may

The state board of control has re-
guessed several leaf men of this market
to submit bids for supplying leaf for the
convicts in the states prison. The board
evidently are not acquainted with rev.
enue regulations which prohibits the
sale of leaf tobacco by dealers except to
licensed manufacturers or dealers and
the state of Wisconsin is neither. A
grower, however, might legally supply
the order, which shows how sensless are
some of the revenue regulations.

It will thus be seen that the present
crop does not come up to the high water
mark of tobacco growing in Wisconsin
as the crop of '85 was $4,000 acres.
though the yield of 99 will come very
close to that year. The assessors reports
show yield of about 33 million pounds
in '98, equivalent to about 100000 cases.

A sort of explanation of why buyers
are dipping into the new crop before the
harvest is yet secured has reached us
and is said to be an effort to secure
crops in certain choice growing sections
or from growers whose reputation for
the case when one dealer jumps into the
field other follow, precipitating chase,
and this has brought about movement
not intended to open the market or to
set the lace for prices of the present
crop. No dealer likes to sit quietly by
and see his competitor scoop in all the
cream and this influences him to take a
hand. Thus it is that it is always easier
to start prairie fire than to stop it. One
thing at least is certain these furries in
the tobacco market always work to the
advantage of the farmer The good
hard sense which prompts him to take
in the situation and profit there by is
commendable.

By estimating the tobacco acreage
where less than 100 acres are grown we
have total of $50 acres as the probable
acres of the '99 crop. Of the increase
nearly 2500 acres appear in Rock and
Dane counties, indicating that the old
experienced growers are extending their
acreage. The same authority as quoted
above gives the acreage in the state for

other things says:
s"This year the semi-annual exam

Two Views OF a Great Question.


Gen. Leonard Wood, military gov
ernor of Santiago, made speech at
dinner given in his honor in New York
on Tuesday. His subject was naturally
the Cubans, and he gave an account of
his work in restoring peace, order,
prosperity and the pursuit of happiness
in his province. He had employed
Cubans in all the minor offices of his
administration of the government.
The secretaries and clerks in the civil
departments were Cubans who had
been in the Cuban army, and all finan-
cial transactions were carried out
through Cuban clerks; there we're no
secrets, everything was done as open
as a book, so that everywhere the peo-
pie are now satisfied that 80 far as the
interests of the country are concerned
it was all right. The army is kept out
of the situation, and the fact is pressed
upon the people that the first thing they
have to do is to learn to govern them
selves, and that the underlying princi-
pie of self-government was thorough
respect for civil law, and that lawless-
ness must be abolished.
General Wood is such an administra.
tor as is wanted in every community
from which Spain's paralyzng hand
has been lifted by the results of the
late war. His multiple will be in great
demand and with his pattern of wis
dom practiced in all the Cuban COM
munities SCUBA libre" would be no
idle dream or matter of sentiment.
Through such agents America can gov
ern colonies.
On the other hand, Captain Evans of
the Texas and fighting fame, who was
also speaker at this gathering of rep
resentative Americans to honor Gener-
al Wood, was hardly as optimistic in
his views of the situation. Here is
"Fighting Bob's" view of the whole
matter of the war and the future Of the
Cubans:
"we went to war to lick the Spaniards
because they sank the Maine, and am not
ashamed to say so. The feeling at the bot
tom of our hearts was that we would like to
lick those yelloy-bellied devils, and we did
lick them" We are perfectly
willing to turn the whole Cuban business
over to the army, and when General Wood
says, or intimates, that the Cubans can ever
govern themselves, l dissent absolutely.
[Laughter.] honestly believe. and don't
suppose that am going out of line as ma
val officer when 1 say so, that when the
time comes the government of the United
States can guarantee a stable government
in Cuba; you will iud it inhabited by Yam
KEGS that belong to the United States"
Applause and laughter
Captain Evans does not pose as a
statesman, but in his conclusions many
people will concur.
