well.
The pony battery, Corridor and Wall

In the second inning the Champs got
two runs. Two singles, a double. two
steals and wild throw did the work.
In the fifth Kennedy took Weyhing's
place. He placed a scratch hit Three sin
giles and an infield out then scored two
runs.
In the seventh four hits by the Champs
and an error by Parent gave them anoth-

LANCASTER New ERA. Nov. Is, 1900.

Inquiry among the tobacco packers to-
day revealed the fact that last week was
about the dullest of the entire year. Not
a single dealer would admit having sold
more than few dozen cases to local
manufacturers, and even the number Of
these was small. The political situation
and then the election came iD and push
ed aside everything else. But now that
things are once more settled, and, in 10
measure, have quieted down, there wilA
no doubt be revival in trade be2ore~
long. The tobacco fraternity was deeply
interested in the political outcome andS
largely on the Mckinley side. AT the
great business mems parade, I'm New
York, 1900 tobacco dealers marched in@
procession. They will no doubt make AM
appeal to the administration for s,ne re-
vision of the tariff where it affects them
most nearly, such as lower rates on leaf
tobacco and the abolition of the war tax
on cigars. Last week we saw several
wagon loads Of new crop tobacco brought
to town. Doubtless deliveries will be-
made AS fast as the crop fS seld and can

Connecticut valley Tobacco Market.

CounecUAcuC Nauey Tobacco Market.
The buying of tobacco in this valley
the past week has been quite limited,
but now the election has passed we NAV
hope for increased prosperity in all
branches of trade. So far as we can see
as high or even higher prices should be
paid, for the reason of the shortage ex-
listing for the quality of goods that New
England alone possesses. Holders of
really fine and light colored leaf need
have no fear that prices will fall for that
class of goods. AS long as such wrappers
sell at from SO to 70c at wholesale, and
from 90c to $1.15 at retail, and the mar
ket without adequate supply, there can
be no reason why growers should sell at
very low prices. Low-grade leaf or thick,
heavy and dark colored leaf must be sold
on it's merits.
The new crop will be assorted and
packed and force sweated as rapidly as
possible. We expect to see the same
selling of thousands of cases long before
it is possible for it to pass in and through
the natural sweat. This was the case
last year. The reason for this is the
great scarcity of desirable binders and
wrappers So we venture the opinion
that the outlook for the remnant of the
1900 crop, as we'll as the crop for 1901,
was never better. The demand is con-
stantly increasing, as the constant in
crease in cigars manufactured fore
shadows it,-Cultivator.

New YORK, Nov. II, 1900.

There is no rush in the market in con-
sequence of the election, partly because
the result was discounted in advance
and partly because of the nearness of
the close of the year and to the unwill-
ness or the manufacturers to take inven-
tory with large stock on hand. Never
theless, there was an active business
throughout. In domestic leaf Wiscon-
sin and Pennsylvania took the lions
share. Nearly 1000 boxes of Wisconsin
changed hands and 5000 cases of Penn
sylvania. The price of Wisconsin de-
pends altogether On its makeup and it's
cleanliness. There is a great deal of
black rot in the Wisconsin, but there are
packings which are almost without any
damage whatsoever. Consequently it
sold as low as 10 cents and as high as 15
cents. The Pennsylvania, on the other
hand, is generally clean packing and
of the utmost excellence in quality.
Hence there is no great variation in the
prices: it is quoted from 121s to 1870.
Big Flats are also moving in limited
quantities because of the scarcity of
binder and low grade wrapper leaf.
