 A representative of TEE BEE had a pleasant chat with K. A. Wildman, 8 local t,bacco packer, the other dsy. In spes k- ing of the apparent falling off in the de- mand for seedleaf tobacco MT Wiidman thought it was accustomed by the Spanish war. When this was in progress Amer ican cigar manufacturers were unable to secure Havana wrappers and to a con. siderable extent fine quality of native seedleaf was used as substitute. This created big demand for seedleaf which now has fallen off, as they are now able to get the Havana wrappers again. It was MT Wildman's opinion that parties who had bought largely of seedleaf in the last year or two 'would lose a barrel of money"
 Thomas Richmond, one of the thrifty farmers of the town, has delivered his tobacco to Vincent Sterling, which netted him the handsome sum of $2100. There is evidently money in farming when one s'tends to his knitting" the way MT Richmond does.
 Bunzel, Green & Go. received IA car loads of tobacco at their warehouse on Saturday last.
 G. Burzel, of the firm of Bunzel, Green & Co.,, of New York, has been in town, this week.
 Messrs Orlando Hungerford, Louis Powell, Van Ness Case, Peet & Barlow, Arthur Joyce, Arthur Parsons, Walter Snedeker and Dr Hubbell, all of Sher. man, have sold their crops of tobacco to J. Stuart Halpine. Messrs Hungerford, Powell and Snedeker have already de- livered their crops.
 H. Allan, the well-known Wisconsin tobacco buyer, the representative of George J. Schuster of 256 Broadway, Milwaukee, Wis.,, has been at the New England house, this week, having just returned from Windsor, where he receiv- ed 200 tons of tobacco. He is receiving here what he bought in the fall. some 300 cases. MT Allan bought largely the last two years in Brookfield and New town, and was very generally liked for the square treatment he accorded the farmers. Mr Allan gays iD his 25 years as buyer he has never rejected crop. He says he first makes up his mind whether the tobacco is what he wants, and then if he agrees to take 1t. he never fails to carry out his bargain. MT Allan is a typical Westerner, breezy and ener- getic, and has 8 matter -of-fact way of getting down to business. He says that although his home is in Milwaukee he has not been there over four weeks in tho last year, being constantly on the road buying tobacco.
 staub & Mallett opened their ware house On Monday for the asserting of tobacco. They are now handling the Housatonic Valley article but later ex. peot to put up some of the Connecticut Valley leaf.
 Thursday was record breaking day in the shipment of tobacco. All roads led to the depot or to the American To- bacco warehouse. Agents and owners were hustling, and the greatest activity was shown.

Broderick's crop of 12 tons, William Lavelle's four tons, Ezra Corser's two tons, all to Mil waukee, Wis. E. A. Wildman of New Milford and E. A. Welch took in and shipped the crops of c. R.
