The writer of this column several
months ago urged the tobacco interests
of the west to back movement to Sc
cure government experimental station
in this state for tobacco curing, believ-
ing that some results might be obtained
that would prove valuable to the trade.
We had at that time the assurance that
the agricultural department was antici-
pating movement in this line and was
certain it would be an advantage to our
state to secure it, but the tobacco men.
it up. so to speak, and the matter was
dropped. Now, however, comes the re-
port from Lancaster, Pa, that the Ag
ricultural Department has established
an instruction department there in to-
bacco curing, and for more than month
several men have been at work showing
how tobacco can be cured in thirty or
forty days without being put into cases
and without the loss of single leaf from
black rot, mould and kindred diseases.
The first lot treated was old tobacco,
which did not come out of its regular
fermentation in very desirable condition,
and it was decided to resweat it by the
process employed by the experts. The
experiment has been highly successful,
the tobacco now being sweet and mellow, |
instead of rank as before. Now opera
tions will be begun on new tobacco,
grown this season, but on an extended !
scale, say 2500O0 lbs. 1t is confidently |
this tobacco will be thorough
" cured within thirty-fve days and
ready to go into cases, and that, too,
without loss from the usual drawbacks

NEW YORK Nov. %. 1900.

Business during the past week has
been fairly satisfactory, and if the pres
ent state continues until the middle of
next month, the trade generally will be
satisfied. A glance at the 1900 Connec-
ticut Havana Seed, in process of sweat
ing, shows that the crop is to offer some
goods of exceptionally fine character.
Much of the leaf is beautifully spotted,
and the indications are that the crop as
whole will surpass that of 1899. There
is noticeable demand just now for all
classes of cheap binders, to find which
very diligent search is required.
Sumatra.-The condition of this mar
ket remains unchanged. A sound steady
business is being done and no complaints
are heard.
Havana. has been red hot week
in the Havana line, and it is estimated
that between 1000 and 5000 bales Of to-
bacco have changed hands. Among
sales reported during the past week
were: 400 bales 1899 Vuelta Abajo, fac
tory tobacco, ranging in price from 9Oc
to S130 in bond; 500 bales 1899 Rene
dios, second capaduras. 48 to 55 cents:

the sale of nearly 400cs for the week.
A good deal of tobacco is being re-
ceived at the warehouses now daily, but
dealers are considerably disappointed
that it does not reach them in better
packing condition. Some difficulty is
experienced in receiving on account of
so much high case leaf The ware

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The first deliveries of the new crop of
any consequence came in Saturday and
then the music began. Something like
one hundred loads were brought to the
warehouses, and we imagine very few of
the crops were settled for in full A good
deal of the tobacco was in high case and
the dealers declined to pay for the un-
usual amount of moisture which the
leaf contained. In some instances too
much trash was stripped into the bun
dies and in others the uncertain proper
tions of shed damaged leaf left in the
packages gave the dealers ample excuse
for refusing to make the usual complete
settlement for the crop upon delivery.
We have not learned of any instance
where the dealers were disposed to take
advantage of-the situation. for any un-
fair deductions from the crop. The
usual proposition submitted is for the
grower to take home his crop and put it
in marketable condition or the dealer
purchase price until the tobacco has been
put over the sorting tables ard the
amount of damage ascertained, when the
farmer will be paid the amount
which is due him The latter course of
holding back partial payment seems to
be the plan that will be adopted by
dealers generally in receiving the pres
ent crop. If the growers have conf
odence that they will receive fair treat
ment in the handling of the crop through
the warehouse, there ought not to be
serious objections to this requirement.
Having paid good prices, the dealers be-
heve they are entitled to protection
against taking tobacco not up to con-
tract requirements.

4 What promises to be the most serious
defect in the present crop is it's high
pcase and 'thislis what the packers bad
sall the time been NEST Fearful of. Cir
,culars have been sent out warning
.growersso of the dangers of this condition,
and everything done to impress upon
the growers that the very nature of the
leaf, being thin in character, and sus-
.ceptible ,of moisture, the utmost care
was necessary in removing the crop
from the poles. So much damp weather
has occurred during the time the tobac-
'eo was lowered from the sheds that it
has. probably been more difficult than
usual ito get uniform case upon the
leaf. The experienced grower must
know when his tobacco. is in too high
case, and THE fault is with him if he
strips it when out of condition. OF all
defects, wet or high case tobacco is the
most difficult to handle in the ware
houses, and it is next to impossible to
care for 1t properly there, and for this
reason packers have learned to dread the
results that follow receiving wet tobac-
co. Trouble will most certainly ensue if
deliveries continue much high case leaf.
Growers who have already stripped
their tobacco in high case should ar
range to care for it at home and put it in
packing soondition before delivering.
Great cane should also be exercised in
removing the remainder. Of, the crop from
the sheds. 1t should be taken down
when coming into case not when it is
going out er the grower will be deceived
as to it's trae condition. So much damp
weather brings critical conditions to the
tobacco growers and no one can afford
to pass over lightly the suggestions here
offered.

NEW YORK. Dec. l, 1900.

A steady business is going on right
along. Every type of leaf finds its buy
ers, only the stock has been decimated
already to such an extent that purchas-
ers find it difficult to get exactly what
they want. In New England leaf the
market has become almost bare, with
the exception of some lots of dark wrap
per leaf. Before long the 1900 crop will
have to be force-sweated extensively. In
binder leaf the Wisconsin is still ruling
the market. Several hundred cases were
disposed of in different lots. In filler
leaf Pennsylvania and Zimmer's and
Onondaga are in constant demand.
Nearly 1000 cases found purchasers of
these types. Prices ranged according to
quality and make up.
The Sumatra is in constant demand
for immediate needs. No large transac-
tions but the steadiness of such sales
make up respectable aggregate. Sales
for the week were 200 bales.
The Havana market was more than
usually animated during the week Some
very large sales took place both in Re-

FROM JOHN THOMPSON.
Statement Regardius a Case That Has
Caused Much Comment
To the Editor:

10 the Editor
In view Of the many false and mali
clous reports that have been printed
and circulated regarding the spread of
smallpox by the negligence OF myself
and family take this method 70 place
before the public the facts Ia relation to
the whole affair and to show that the
spread Of the disease was not due to
our negligence.
Last fall my son, Lester Thompson,
was in Canada and being In poor health
determined TO come home. He stopped on
the way in Montana about thirty miles
beyond Great Falls and worked for
while. He wrote me for money TO
come home on and sent him q money
order, which he received on the 2Sth day
Of September. He started for home the
same day. Great Falls was not quar-
antlned Of that time and there We're
about one hundred passengers who left
on the same train with him. He never

any other place.
Now, after having seen the disease.
my boy recalled that a man whose face
was broken out the same as those who
have had the smallpox here, got on the
train at Butte and as he came a. n
with the disease in about nine days af-
ter that, he believes he was exposed at
that time There were three miners
from Grand Falls bound for Tintic In the

took the disease TO that section OF the
