Conditions remain unchanged about
the tobacco markets of the state. Trad
ing is now rare occurrence in goods of
any description. While it is season of
dull markets, business is exceptionally
quiet both east and west.
Frequent rains are bringing along the
new crop surprisingly fast. Some of the
early fields are now showing the bud and
topping will commence the coming
week. Everywhere the crop gives prom
ise of a quick growth and large and we'll

the crop showed up better at this. season
of the year.
G. L. Culton reports the sale of 200
cases of old goods.
The shipments out of storage reach
675cs, 13 car loads, from this station to
all points for the week. Less than 125
cases of cigar leaf were exported from
New York since last report.

New YoRK, July Is, 1900.

Although few good sized sales have
taken place during the week, the mar
ket, generally speaking, is fiat. This
lassitude is no doubt partly due to the
extremely oppressive weather and the
idleness of the large uptown factories.
If the strike is settled in the near future
(Which now seems possible), trading will
be given an impetus, and dealers will
probably have business enough to tide
them over until the fall.
Sumatra. The market is not as ac-
tive as importers would like to have it.,
and many complaints are heard. The
last summer inscription was held today,
however, and it is hoped the manufact-
urers will take hold of the goods with
more alacrity before the fall series set in

week, this market has settled down to a

Of transactions the market during the
week was chary, but that is not by any
means equivalent to saying that the siz-
| zling weather, the strike, or any other
thing has killed the New York market
The very reverse is the fact-the New
York market was never in more cheer
| full condition.
It is true that of the 1898 crop or older
crops of New York State, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, Ohio, Big Flats or Wiscon-
sin there not many boxes in the hands of
first holders, and that it is impossible to
find IN the country any considerable
quantities of leaf of those crops, which
are conditions the like of which have not
been known in New York for over twen-
ty-five years. 1t is also true, despite the
long strike in this city. that the cigar in
dustry of the country is booming and
that manufacturers are consuming cor
respondingly large quantities of leaf, but
this is leaf which they had been fore
handed enough to secure long ago, or
the fag ends of stocks scraped together
here and there as might be and imme-
diately worked up to supply the demand
for cigars.
There is no old tobacco to be had, but

available within five or six weeks. The
largest packers in New York who have
knowledge of these crops, say they are
all fine. If that estimate is corroborated
by the samples the market in domestic

a, boom. as it has never had since the

THERE is a growing demand for edu-
Gated agriculturists at experiment sta
tions, agricultural colleges and on the
farm. Prof. w. A. Henry recently said
that although the Wisconsin college of
agriculture had oyer 300 men enrolled,
yet they could not supply the demand
for educated agriculturists. Of no other
profession might this be said, and surely
it is a work of noble calling, full of profit
and pleasure. In many states sentiment
is being aroused to the merits of teach
ing agriculture in the public schools and
this must eventually do much towards
spread of knowledge. The various agri-
cultural organizations of Pennsylvania
have recently held a conference along
this line and will ask the legislature to
appropriate $4,000 during each of the
next two years to assist the state college
in distributing to teachers of the public
schools the various bulletins and leaflets
on nature study with special reference
to agriculture.

own cigars. Already several of the most
important packers are figuring on sales
in single lots of large blocks of the 80
domestic crops.

excellent opinions every day was in good
demand during the week. Total trans

reached New York it was grabbed up by
a manufacturer, who willingly paid the
very high price that was asked for it

DEERFIELD, Wis, July 20, 1900.

The growing tobacco has never started
out with better prospects for a good crop
than this year. In the first place the
plants were even, healthy and of good
size, and the weather during the trans
planting season so favorable that it
started to grow evenly. Not much re-
setting necessary The dry and cool
weather for awhile kept it from running
into a slim stalk and rather promoted
the growth of the roots. Then came the
recent rains and hot weather which have
started it growing unusually fast. The
prospects now are that large portion
of the crop will be ten days to two weeks
earlier than in previous years. One
farmer, Andrew Brictson, expected to
top some this week. So far the leaves
have suffered no damage from storms
and if nothing happens from now on the
leaf will be of large size, thin and whole

The farmers are extremely busy, as

are all calling for attention at this time

Our correspondents write as follows:

We have experienced some hard showers
accompanied by heavy winds. Tobacco
in spite of all, has made rapid growth
and is looking finely now. Some pieces
are near ready for topping" Whately,
July 16: "The tobacco crop in this town
is uneven, but there are some nice fields
and topping has commenced. In some
few fields stocking over is still being
done" Hatfield, July IA: Tobacco is
coming on finely. The early set is being
topped and is looking finely. The high
winds that have occurred have done
some damage, but nothing very serious.
The crop is not SO even as it sometimes
is The growth has been very rapid.
Rain has fallen frequently" Putney, VT:
"Our tobacco is growing very fast. Top
ping will have to commence very soon on
the early pieces There is probably
small increase. Old tobacco is mostly
sold. The crop is nearly all Connecticut
Havana" Poquonnock, Ct: "Quite a
portion of our tobacco crop is of the
Connecticut seed or the broad leaf va
riety. The crop is looking we'll. The
frequent showers and warm weather are
showing the crop along fast. We have
had some very high winds with some Of
our showers, but do not hear of any hail
or other damage. The old goods are
scarce in farmers hands. Topping is
now being done in many of our towns" -

country The display comprises only

large collection of photographs, and, in a,
few instances, samples illustrating the
different stages of the tobacco in the.
process of manufacturing. The exhibit
is under the direction of Prof. Melton
Whitney, chief of the division of soils,
assisted by Marcus L. Floyd, tobacco
expert of that division.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, July 20, 1900.

We have had another week of ideal
weather for the growing tobacco and the
result has been almost magic. Many of
the earlier set fields are budding out and
in very few instances topping will be-
gin this week.
The growth so far has been rapid, with
very little damage by storms or insects.
The later set fields are coming along
nicely and give every promise of a fine
crop.
In old goods there is some inquiry for
samples of the '99 crop, but there are
few sales recorded. G. H. Rumrill sold
about 200 cases of 398 and '99 and bought
a small lot of SO. Generally speaking
old goods are very quite. A few samples
of the 99 have been drawn but it is yet
too early to Judge of it's character

LANCASTER New ERA. July II, 1900.
The hotter the weather the duller the
tobacco market-that appears to be the
situation Just now. Packers say they are
doing nothing and the jobbers complain
that they are not doing much, so there is
every reason to believe the warm weather
has sent buyers and packers to the sea-
shore and the mountains. Perhaps the
only members of the trade who are busy
are the cigar manufacturers, who are ad
vertising for hands, and seem to be turn
ing out goods as fast as ever.
The weather has been unusually hot
for some days past, the thermometer
standing between 80 and 100 at midday.
Between such heat and the hot winds
that have prevailed, the ground has
parted with it's moisture very rapidly,
and in most localities the young plants
need rain-need it soon, and good deal
of it, Still, the plants have borne up
pretty we'll under the hot spell, and do
not look as if they had suffered much.
Some are showing up very we'll. Mr.. A.
Ell. ISimmons, of East Lampeter, began
topping a fine four acre field of seedleaf
on last Friday. He informs us tobacco
has been planted in the same field con-
tlnuOuSly Tor twenty years, ana Cne ior-
ward condition of this years crop shows
that the ground is in very superior con
dition now. His plan is to measure
heavily with barnyard manure, and fol
low with good phosphate in addition.
That always brings the answer with him.
He has never adopted the plan of turn
ing under a green crop like rye in the.
spring for manurial purposes.
