AN INTERESTING DOCUMENT.
A Petition Circulated Mt the Naval
Academy I'm 1853.

Charles P. Grcenough, of Boston, has
given to the Navy Department document
which he bought at a public auction some
years ago, containing the signatures OF
the midshipmen at the Naval Academy in
1878. 1t is a petition addressed to the
House Committee on Naval Affairs pro-
testing against bringing into the navy a
large number of volunteer officeri. The
petition, which IS in the handwriting Of
De Long, OF Arctic fame. appears to have
been signed by every midshipman then at
the Academy. Among them was Rear
Admiral Bradford, of the Bureau of
Equipment. and Captains Goodrich, Chad
wick, Folgcr, Dickens. Wilde, Davis, and
Train, most of whom distinguished them
selves in the Spanish war.

Columbia county has again been
fortunate in growing a very fine crop of
tobacco this year. Buying of the new
crop commenced week ago, and still
continues AS many as eight or ten to-
bacco buyers were seen throughout this
tobacco section, but no rash buying has
been done; it is slow and cautiously.
Perhaps five hundred acres will have
been bought up by the end of this week.
Prices ranging from 7 to 919c to be de-
livered at Rio. That prosperous village
in the heart of the tobacco section of
Columbia county should have tobacco
sorting house. Wide awake business
men would do we'll to bear this in mind,
and give some inducement to the right
man. The buyers in the tobacco deal
quoted below are Underhill, Mabbett,
Perry, McGiffin, Reindahl and others.

New YORK, Sept. 26. 1900.

The last two weeks in September will
have considerably less business to their
credit than the first half of the month,
and some dealers, using the recent rush
of business as basis of comparison, are
now complaining. AS matter of fact,
however, the demand for goods contin-
ues to be generally strong, and a very
fair amount of tobacco is changing
hands daily.
Havana This market remains in
very satisfactory condition. Inquiry is
strong, and fair quantity of tobacco is
being sold.
Sumatra.-T week in the Sumatra
line has been uneventful. While there
have been no record breaking sales put
through, the goods continue to move
steadily, and the selling side of the trade
is quite satisfied with the existing condi-

cal weeks business one house sold about
80 bales, different grades, at prices rang

LANCASTER New ERA, Sept. 25, 1900.
Although things were not apparently
lively on the surface, there was pretty
strong under current, which carried
away very fair.amount of goods. And
while those who came here to buy found
what they wanted, in part, they would
have taken a good deal more if it could
have been had. Between the buyers
that were here and sampling now going
on, dealers were kept going at a pretty
lively rate. The sales that have been
brought to our notice were 67cs bought
by Morris Levy; 175cs bought by Young
& Neuman; 175cs sold by M. M. Fry;
385cs bought by Elias Bach & Son; 167cs
sold by J. w. Brenneman; 110cs bought
by Frey & .Eisenlohr and 200cs bought
by Mr.. Swisher; in all, 1,224cs. For the
corresponding week of last year the sales
were 1856 cs.
Nearly all of the 1900 crop in this To-
cality is now in the sheds. This is not
time to pass on it's merits. Suffice it to
say, it was called on to face good many
misfortunes, some of which were of a
telling character. Let us hope it will
overcome all these drawbacks, in part,
and come out of the barns in better con-
dition than might be expected.
New England is rejoicing in one of the
largest, and, as she claims, one of the
best crops ever grown there.

This has been a good week for the

rapidly, with good colors and soft, pill
able texture. In some the shed pole rot

green tobacco was over crowded.
The buying of the new crop has com

average of s and 2 cents in the bundle.
Quite number of crops have been con-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,
EDGERToN, WIS, Oct. 5, 19,

The movement in the new crop has
developed into pretty warm chase in
the lower growing sections of late. From
fifty to sixty buyers are industriously
working the field and the competition
has naturally induced some rapid con-
tracting. Il is rather difficult matter
to estimate the amount of tobacco pur
chased under such conditions but some
dealers fresh from the field assert that
half the sound tobacco has been con-
tracted for. It is estimated that 80 per
cent of Vernon county is sold and the
Rio section we'll gathered up. Most of
the big operators in Wisconsin leaf are
now interested in the movement and
fresh buyers are entering the field. The
prices that are being paid will average
with those that prevailed for Vernon
county leaf earlier, and attractive as they
seem growers are not over-anxious to ac-
cept them. We cannot undertake to
report fraction of the sales made but
the list will indicate the range that
prices are taking.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Connecticut valley Tobacco Market.
The rains that have followed each other
for the past week have been very welcome
to the tobacco growers, as they have been
interspersed by good brisk breezes and
warm sunshine; just the kind of weather
needed for curing the leaf 1t is very
favorable for the late-cut leaf, and it is
curing with fine color.
At Hatfield and some other towns
growers have commenced stripping, and
claim that they have very bright leaf.
From what we hear from the various
towns, added to what we have seen, we
feel safe in saying that large percent
age of light wrappers will be found,
while probably not over 20 to % per
cent. of light wrappers were contained in
the 1899 crop. This is all to the benefit
of the growers of the 1900 crop, and the
crop will sell at good figures. There has
been but small quantity sold in the
field or curing barns. Twenty cents has
been offered and declined. 1t is too
early to even estimate the value of the
crop. Parties holding good, sound, light
colored crops shouldn't be in hurry to
sell, unless price is offered that is sat
isfactory. Tt must be as high as similar
crops were last year. There has been
great hole made in the 99 crop, and
goods of that year will be very scarce be-
fore this years goods can be force sweat
ed and ready for work.-Cultivator.
