A meeting of the governors of the
e'arid" states is called for this week at
Salt Lake City, for the purpose Of con
sidering the various measurers proposed
for leasing the public lands of the gen.
eral government. The Helena Indepen-
dent announces that Gov. Smith has ex-
pressed himself as favoring nc change in
the present methods of the public land
system, and we believe it to be the de
sire of an overwhelming majority of
the persons most interested, that the at
tempt to obtain leasing privileges be de-
feated. This matter once opposed of,
attention should be given the selection
and leasing of state lands, and while the
revenue accruing to the state is desirable.
a plan of selection which will not pre-
JUDGE the rights of the actual settler,
should be adopted.

Splendid case weather has prevailed
this week and buyers are taking full ad
vantage of it. In some localities almost
all the crops have been bought while

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The late damp spell has helped the
growers to get the tobacco down, and the
mild weather following will enable them
to put it in the bundle at IA rapid and
comfortable rate The men can do more
work during such weather than when it
is cold and raw. Aside from this, the
leaf isn't dried up, and it packs into the
bundle, retaining the soft and silky feel
SO desirable. Some parties have every
thing in readiness for force sweating the
new crop. We expect that larger
quantity will be force sweated than ever
before. We hear some complaints as to
the color of the leaf when grown on land
where growers had plowed in tobacco
stalks. Some dealers decline to buy
such crops, except at a lower rate and
make difference of from 2 to DC. Our
list Of purchases is not as large as for
the last few weeks. Perhaps the election
exerts some influence. The more prob
able reasons are that there are yet fat
stems found in the late cut, and then the
principal packers have bought quite ex
tensively and have enough to keep the
assorters busy for two months or more
At that time they generally intend to buy
at lower rates. if possible. -Cultivator.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, Nov. 8, 190t


Buying of the new crop has declined
until but few dealers are yet in the field.
Election matters of cou, we're the alb
sorbing topic of the week but there is
less disposition to continue the move
ment than heretofore since the market
opened. There is plenty of tobacco of
fairly good selections remaining unsold
but the inability of dealers to secure
packipgs now at the average of the early
sales precludes new buyers entering the
field at present. They prefer to wait
and take their chances later.

: LANCASTER New ERA. Oct. 30, 1900.

ssgas LANCASTER NEW Ira. Oct. 30, l9UO.
The month closes On what the packers
allege way very dull trade month, and
yet when one runs over the sales that
were recorded and the many more that
were not announced to the public, the
aggregation is seen to amount to a very
considerable quantity. Among scores of
dealers, as we have them in this city and
county, it is not to be expected that
every one OF them will be selling big bills
of goods every week or even small ones
There are always some who have not had
buyers and they, of course, grumble.'
The sales as reported to us are 345 cases.
1899 Pa. broadleaf, sold by I. Ell. Weaver;
400 cases sold by Mr. Mellinger; 125
cases sold and IS bought by NJ M. Fry,
and 1876 bought and 55 sold by A. III.
Hershey & Co.; in all, 1892 cases. For
the corresponding week of last year, the
sales were 2275 cases.
There is little to be said of the new
crop. 1t has cured down nicely and
there is some nice light tobacco in it.
There is very little of it selling just now,
everybody being quits willing to hold off
awhile longer before starting in to
buy. No doubt when that period does
arrive, it will move off we'll unless the
prices asked are too high. A moderate
asking price would no doubt stimulate
