Road and Complaining Company
May Adjust All Differences - An
Extension of Time Is Asked, aud

til Next Tuesday.
Davis, Kellogg & Severance, as attor-
neys for the Duluth & Iron Range rail-
way, filed answer to the complaint of
the Martin Tie and Lumber company, of
Duluth, before the railroad commission
yesterday. Almost Immediately after the
answer was filed letter was received at
the commission from j. M Jenswold
Jr., attorney for the road at Duluth,
stating that the road and the complain
ant company were engaged in adjusting
the matters of rates cited in the latter's
petition, and that in all probability an
adjustment would be secured. The Du-
luth attorney asked for extension of time
in which to file answer, and the commits
sion granted stay until Tuesday
The answer, which is now on file, is re-
markable for only one thing, the way in
which 1t enters denials of every allega-
ton Of the complaint. The commissioners
are of the opinion that the document
was forwarded before the conference
with the lumber company In this case,
the answer to be filed later will take
precedence. The Duluth & Iron Range
deny in their first answer that they have
knowledge that the Martin Tie and Lum-
Der company is an Incorporated company,
that 1t owns a sawmill at Dulut h. or that
1t has knowledge that the company has
tracts OF timber lands tributary to its
line at Highlands.
The case involves rate determinations
on shipments of logs. In the event that
the road and the complainant company
adjusts the differences, the pending case
will be dropped

NEW YORK May 80, 1900.

The lack of activity in the market
seems to be even more generally felt this
| week than last. The demand for domes
tic tobacco is exceptionally light, and
sales are proportionately few in number.
The causal observer would be rather un-
favorably impressed after making tour
of the market and noting the general las
situde which prevails. But when it is
considered that stocks of old tobacco are
much depleted; that it will be some
months before the new goods are on the
market: that the 1899 crops as whole
were not exceptionally large, and that
the consumption of the manufactured
product continues to increase, the pros
poets appear more encouraging. 1t is
quite reasonable to suppose that old lots
now remaining will find a market during
the summer and that the new goods will
sell rapidly when the season for them be-
gins s No sales worthy of mention have
been reported during the past week.
SUMATRA. Although some houses re-
port that the demand for Sumatra at
present is not as active as they would
desire, others are more fortunate and are
selling goods in satisfactory proportions
to their holdings. One firm disposed of
ia bales of new goods yesterday, the
tobacco going in two lots and bringing
very fair prices. Another house state
that their sales of new tobacco this year
are ahead of those of the corresponding
date in 1899 by large percentage. Pri-
vate advices by cable state that out of
$1,000 bales examined for sale at the in
scription to be held on Thursday, this
week, the percentage of fine goods is
very small.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

AS the time of year has arrived for the
transplanting of the young tobacco plants
all the tobacco growers are and will be
extremely busy at this all important part
of the work. Several of the Hatfield
farmers have commenced the work they
began about the 21st of May. The early
bird, Charley Warner, was the first to
begin. Where dependence is made on
out of door or open beds growers will be
late in getting their fields set, And it
looks as though plants would be rather
scarce for the amonnt of land cOntem-
plated to be used for tobacco The cold
nights, with frequent frosts, tends to-
make the plants grow rather slow We'
have only one suggestion to make in re-
gard to transplanting, that is to set the
fields with a machine, in preference to
hand and back aching work. The ma
chine-set plants usually give better
stand, and commence to grow quicker
than those treated by ordinary hand set
ting. Be sure to have all vacancies filled,
not only for your own benefit, but for
the good of the crop.

respondence: Feeding Hill, May 28>

apathy and suspended production under
Democracy left the country short of
supply to meet the demand when pros
perity and activity returned in 1896 with

mate limits but as the supply approaches
the demand prices begin to recede, and
it will not be very long until legitimate

Few articles are more extensively ad

Few articles are more extensively adul-
terated than coffee. There was a time
when even the green, unroasted berry
was used in that way, but since coffees
are no longer so extensively retailed in
that condition the ground article is used
instead. The most common adulterant
ischickory, the roots OF which are roasted
and ground for that purpose. But this
adulterant is easily detected. Ground
coffee, when thrown into water, will
float and color the water very slowly,
while chickory will sink and quickly
change the water to a brown color.
Every housewife has it in her own hands
whether she will have pure coffee on her
table or an adulterated article.

The dullness of the past few weeks
was, to some extent, relieved in our local
market by some sales that make an ag-
gregate of over thousand cases. There
are still few lots of old goods to be
found, and these are carefully sought
out and bought if the prices are in ac-
cordance with the state of the market.
The sales that have been brought to our
notice were 105 cases of Havana seed,
sold by |. HI. Weaver, $50 cases bought
by G. III. Welchans & Co.; 317 cases of
so seed, sold by Hiestand & Ressler to a
Baltimore purchaser. and 500 cases
bought by B. B. Leaman & Son. In all,
1882 cases. For the correspon ding week
of last year the sales were 1,787 cases.
The weather during the week was, on
the whole, very favorable to the planting
of the new crop and the plants already
set out. All who were ready went to
work with will, and good many acres
were planted, the plants being generally
of good size and strong.

being daily more recognized that the Su-
matra will have to furnish for the cur

ply, no matter what exceptions may be
taken to it. It's knowledge of this
fact that stimulated the Americans to
secure again 1000 bales at the inscrip-

satisfactory to the holders. About 200
bales of new Sumatra were sold during

The work of transplanting the new
crop has so far been greatly handicapped
by the dry weather, which has become
quite a serious matter But few fields
have been set to date and while the beds
are crowded with plants that ought to be
transplanted, the drouth has precluded
this idea. Local showers have fallen in
some localities in the tobacco section the
past few days but the quantity of rain
only temporarily relieves the situation.
Soaking rains must come before the crop
can be satisfactorily pitched in thefelds.

some time to come.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The growers of this state have their
fields pretty generally prepared for an
other tobacco crop. A good deal OF
transplanting would have been done al
ready had not the dry condition of the
soil held back this work. Soaking rains
have fallen in some portions of the to
bacco sections and planting has been
started. Other localities are yet too dry
to chance setting without more copious
watering of the plants than the trans
planting machines are able to do, and
growers do not care to run the risk OF
burning out of the plants. An enormous
acreage has been prepared for tobacco
this season probably the largest in the
history of the state, and if the season is
favorable for getting out the crop, Wis
consin will come to the market with
more cigar leaf tobacco than any growing
state. The machine transplanter is now
in almost universal use and with it's aid
the crop can be safely pitched in the
fields in much shorter time than here
tofore. What is needed now to accelerate
this work is general rains to place the
fields in condition to secure good stand
of plants. The work can scarcely go
forward satisfactorily until these come.

There is no denying the fact that the
condition of every trade and industry in
this country is not as prosperous today
as it was a year ago. Ia many trades,
may, in most of them, stocks are hardly
moving at all, and prices are tumbling
down. In most industries rush orders
have stopped and most of the forces have
been laid off and thousands and thous-
ands of extra help have been discharged.
Ii the volume of our export trade was
not so enormous, SO that we are today
one of the largest creditor nations, in
stead OF debtor nation, there might in
deed be an apprehension that we were
again approaching commercial and in
dustrial crisis. But the present slack
ness and stagnation in all lines is only
the logical effect of the ver-buying and
over production that have been going on
for the past eighteen months.
Compared with this condition of every
other trade and industry, the leaf trade
and cigar industry are in an exceptionally
fortunate position. True, the leaf trade
is not brilliantly active, and is sharing
with the other trades the general slack
ness. But, unlike the other trades, it is
not overstocked; in fact, it is suffering
from lack of suitable stock. Not within
the past fifteen years has the market been
SO bare of an accumulation of the crops
of preceding years. The question will
soon arise for the packer whether he will
be justified, even if he disposes of the
crops on hand at the advanced figures,
to pay the farmers the same prices for
this year S crop as he did for last years.
He will have to consider the fact that all
farm products are going down in price
and that tobacco will have 10 follow the
same tendency. But aside from this,
the packer will have to reckon with an
other and more powerful factor, the
largely increased importation of the Ha-
vana of the new crop-U. S. Tobacco

former in placing division of it's busi-
ness on the plan followed by Germany,

gars day has 81 factories scattered all
over the country, thus minimizing the
probability of labor troubles. If this
greatest of all cigar manufacturing firms
should decide to scatter it's business of

would probably locate factories in % or
