LANCASTER New ERA, Aug. IA. 1900
There was big drop in the amount of
business done last week, as compared
with that of several weeks previous.
BUYERS were scarce from outside locali-
ties and the home demand was also dull.
Manufacturers do not appear to be suf-
fering for lack of stock despite their
heavy cigar output so the jobbing trade
is anything but lively. Several packers
have expressed themselves lately to the
effect that the past few months have
been among the dullest they have ever
experienced. The sales that have been
brought to our notice are 80 cases sold
by Pennypacker & Gable, 30 cases sold
by Isaac Stirk & Co., and 70 cases
bought by Morris Levy, total of 1S2
cases. For the corresponding week of
last year the sales were ], 100 cases.
Last week was again severe period
for the growing tobacco, Hereabouts
not drop of rain fell, although there
were several light showers elsewhere
in the county. The ground has become
very dry under temperature that went
daily from 80 to 100 in the shade and a
100 in the sun. 1t has been a most try
ing period for the growing crop and
complicated the situation very consid-
erably. There was a smart shower of
fifteen or more minutes duration on
Monday morning, but it was only par
tial one, and as drop in the bucket to
relieve the drouth. Crops of all kinds,
corn, potatoes and pastures are having
trying time of it as we'll as tobacco. 1t
is idle to talk about a full crop under
such conditions.

The week just closing was again re-
marka BILE for it's big Sumatra transactions
The aggregate sales for the week amount
ed to fully $50 if not 500 bales. The star
sale of a hundred and fifty odd bales
was again made by the same house that
made it the week previous too, and an
other house sold lot of hundred bales
in bulk. The balance was sold in smaller
lots aggregating from five to fifty bales
by the same and other importers. And
with but few insignificant exceptions
all the Sumatra sold was of the new
crop, which, no matter what it's defects,
seems to give general satisfaction as to
it's yielding capacity. The two big Su-
matra weeks were the talk of the mar
ket, but they are no surprise to the us

Georgia leaf, the 99 crop of which is re-

Sampling has commenced in domestic:
leaf, and particularly the sampling of
New England leaf is being rushed, as the
representatives of the western trade are
shortly expected in the market. The
samples show thoroughly sound crop,
with some magnificent seconds in it,
which, no doubt, will command a very
big price. The percentage of light wrap
per leaf, however is very limited. There
might have been some money in that
crop if the farmer had not squeezed be-
forehand every possible profit out of the
packer.
In old filler leaf two large sales are to
be recorded for the week, one of 223cs
and the other of 235 boxes, both of '99
Zimmers.
The Havana market remains firm and
active. There is neither break in
prices nor in the demand Sales for the
week about 800 bales.-Journal.

New YORK, Aug. Is, 1900.

The middle of August finds the leaf
| market generally in a.promising position.
Buyers from out of town are beginning
to flock to the metropolis, and goodly
number are here this week. Sampling
has commenced in earnest, and will con-
tinue steadily until the work is finished.
1t is plainly evident that the larger
manufacturers and jobbers are deter
mined to make their selections early as
the inquiry for wrappers and seconds of
the new goods has probably never been
greater than it is now. But few sales
worthy of special note have yet been
consummated, but, Judging from the in
terest manifested in the market during
the past few days, there is every reason
to expect active trading from now on.
Sumatra. Generally speaking, Suma-
ira tobacco is moving quite actively. The
star sale made last week seems to have
stimulated the market considerably, and
nearly all importers are busy. The total
sales reported aggregate about 500 bales.
Havana.-This market is somewhat
quieter than last week, but it is entirely
the fault of the stocks, not of the demand.
The scattered factory vegas of new goods
that are coming in are being taken eagerly
by manufacturers. One firm who re-
ceived an importation of less than 100
bales distributed It at once among five,
customers, and with one exception any
of the five would have taken the entire
vega. Prices remain firm and high.-Leaf

If you want to see fine tobacco plants,
they are right here in Colfax. Tobacco
is new industry at this place, Last
year Mr.. Danielson came up from
Stoughton, bought farm and planted
about six acres Of tobacco. The yield
was simply beautiful. | was down in
Stoughton last summer and had good
chance to compare notes. II anything
our tobacco looked much better this
year. Mr.. Danielson has doubled the
acreage and has now field that he can
feel proud of. He says he has been in
the tobacco business for II years and
has never seen a finer crop. This year
number of families more have moved in
from the southern part of the state and
planted tobacco. So we now have about
l50 acres of it. The topping is done
with and we are now awaiting the har-
vest.

MIAMIsBURG, OHIO, Aug. IA. 1900.

The extreme hot weather does not
prevent local buyers from going the
rounds and buying slowly whenever
chance comes their way for quality and
price. There are packers who make it
practice to buy late in the season.
The growing crop is doing we'll under
the influence of the high temperature,
notably the late planted. Topping and
slow housing is being done.

IDGEhION, w 49,, aug. II, lOUOs
The harvest of the new crop is now
we'll under way in all the growing sec
tions, though heavy storms during the
week have delayed the work III some To-
calities. Help is reported scarce in cer-
tain sections, but the harvest is being
pushed with all the vigor possible. The
weather so far has been rather critical
for the satisfactory curing of the shielded
tobacco and the growers have to guard
against both burn and pole rot.
Some terrifcally heavy storms have
visited some portions of the tobacco Sec
tions, accompanied by hail ia a few To-
calities, inhicting serious damage to the
standing crop. Reports reach us that
quite large portion of the northern
Dane county section, from Arlington to
DeForest and several miles in width has
been injured. Thursday morning anoth-
er hail storm covered good deal of to-
bacco territory about GAINESVILLE and the
tobacco in the Orfordville section is also
badly hailed. Just how extensive these
storms were or how serious the damage
we are unable at this writing to learn.
Some sampling of the '99 is being
done, generally with satisfactory results.
The report reaches US that the Eckhart
packing of '99 at Viroqua, 27O0cs, has
Eeen sold to L. Bamberger & Co., of
Philadelphia. The transfer of 6OOcs of
'9s by Herbs, Wertheim & Schiller in
store at this point to the same firm has
recently been made. G. F.. Mabbett
bought 48cs lot of '99 of Soverhill &
Porter this week.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceep 10 car loads, 5OOcs, for the week
past to all points from this station. Since
last report SS5cs of cigar leaf were ex-
ported from New York.

The tobacco growers are now devoting
their energies to the topping and har-
vesting of the growing crop. Some cut
ting has been done, and next week the
rush will commence, when all will get to
work. The crop of 'OO has all the ap-
pearances of being one of the best ever
grown in the state. There has been no
devastating storms, either of hail or
winds; the green worms and grasshop-
pers have been conspicuously absent, so
the farmer has every reason to congratu-
late himself on the outlook.
The several rains that have fallen since
Saturday night, have moistened the
ground sufficiently to insure a good
growth for the later crops The leaf
markets throughout the state are uni
formly dull, and the only transactions
reported are small ones.-Farm and

walt whitman,s Pride.

Whitman's grandmother was a
Quaker, and the bard had been all his
life used, Quaker fashion, to sitting in
the house with his sombrero on If it
suited him to do so. One day, with a
friend, he entered the gloomy and half
empty precincts of Trinity church,
New York, and took a back seat in the
obscurity and for a moment forgot
to remove his hat or was probably just
about to do so when an oficious verger
stepped up and requested him to take
it off.
Walt, man of immense pride, not
seeing fit to do so instantaneously or
being very slow in his mental proc
esses, was taking the matter into con-
sideration for a second when the
verger knocked the offending bat OF
his head. Walt picked up the huge
felt and, doubling it together, smote
the fellow vigorously twice or thrice
with it on the head and slowly left
the church, the red faced sexton fol-
lowing and threatening him with the
law.-Boston Transcript.

In RECENT years the Republican
party has perfected two methods of
raising revenue for the national gov
ernment-the Democrats having
never had plan. The first was the
protective tariff to which the Denis
object on account of its supposed
breeding of trusts-a half-truth more
dangerous than an out and out false
hood. The second is the internal re-
venue, which is now raising SO much
revenue that the Democrats want it
repealed. The stamp tax is no great
burden to anyone and it would GER
tainly have been bad policy for the
Republican congress to have re-
pealed it last winter just for the
simple reason that it was producing
plenty of revenue.

ON WHAT do the Democrats base
their hopes for gains this fall. Ger
tainly no man that voted against free
silver four years ago has changed his
mind while many that voted for
cheap money are now of different
opinion On the other hand the new
questions which have come before
the people will not cause any de-
lection from the Republican ranks
and in many parts Of the country
which have heretofore been doubtful
the record of the administration will
be great source of strength.

The BOXERS, the sect Of the Chi
nese which are opposed to inroads
which the Europeans are making on
the Celestial Empire, have this week
nearly come into conflict with the
marines from the various European
fleets in Chinese waters. The United
States is also represented IN these
waters by the feet under Admiral
Kempff, but proposes to do nothing
more than protect American mission
aries and American interest in
general. Its moral force, however,
will be exerted against the dividing
up of the Chinese empire among the
European powers, for the United
States will combine with no one of
them, and no one will dare to make a
move on account Of the opposition of
all the rest. Another good thing
which the government is doing is in
emphatically protecting its own liter
ests, and in teaching the orientals
that the day has gone by when they
can murder American missionaries
with impunity.
