EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Oct. 26, 1900.

A good rain Tuesday put the hanging
tobacco in excellent case and our buyers
began riding with increased activity
nearly all of them now being on the road.
Prices hold firm and bid fair to remain
SO until the crop is bought up. While it
is we'll known fact that many sheds
contain some shed burn and pole rot it
is equally we'll known that the remainder
of the crop is of the best ever grown in
the state and is very promising and at
tractive
1t is estimated that 50 per cent. of the
crop of the state has been contracted
for, and the rest is going fast. The ad-
vent of number of buyers from the east
has created a good demand for old goods
and many sales are about to be made
Fl. A. Comas, representing K. Strauss &
Co., of Philadelphia, is riding with N. j.
Casey and has picked up several hun
dred cases of '93 and 99 and has several
other lots in view. g. H. Rumrill sold
100 cases of '99 and another lot of '98,
besides shipping seven car loads. Farm

Buying for the present is rac'ically
over, nearly all the buyers having with
drawn from the field during the last few
days. The good crops throughout this
section have been pretty we'll picked up.
Some of the wind whipped and hail-cut

chased several lots of old leaf during the

Tobacco men report having met with
dry rot and shed burn here and there in
their riding but such damage cannot be
general as the same high prices seem to
be maintained. The moist weather of
the present week has given new i'm
petus to buying and the buyers better
able to make closer inspection of the
crops. Sales reported to us are:

EDGERTON, w IS., NOV. Z, lSOU.
Considerable riding is still being done
in the growing sections, but the aggre-
gate sales are declining materially from
the late previous weeks. Growers are
holding stiffiy at outside fgures-many
asking and 10 cents, which is pretty
effectual bar to much trading. Under
existing conditions it seems hardly pos
sible that the balance of the crop will be
moved Immediately, for the limit is al
ready reached where the buyers willing
ly go, and they are prefering to wait
future developments. When tobacco
can be bought around going figures the
movement might continue, otherwise
the deal is off for the present.

LANCASTER NEW ERA. Oct %, 1900.
While it cannot be said that the leaf
market is brisk, neither can it said to be
dull. A moderate volume of goods was
called for during the past week at salts
factory prices. There is no reason why
the market shall not grow stronger from
day to day. All the factories are run
ming on full time and full handed, and
will have to keep up their supply of raw
materials. while the reelection of Presi-
dent Mckinley, which now seems to be a
foregone conclusion, give assurance that
there will be no violent change in any
trade conditions and that our present
prosperity will not leave us for some.
time to come. In short, the signs are
very promising for the tobacco trade, as,
we'll as for all others.
A few firms are picking up few crops;
of 1900 goods here and there, but the
movement is far from being general or
in any way extensive, and the presentSin-
dications are that it will continue in
this condition for SOME time to come.

Served Him Right.

A New York despatch of the sth
inst. says:
"Richard F. Price, a young lawyer
who comes of wealthy and prominent
Iowa family q graduate of the Iowa
University and of the '92 class of Yale,
where he belonged to the exclusive
secret societies, and who was apparent
ly attaining success here, has been SEN
fenced by Judge Foster in the general
sessions court to serve one year in the
penitentiary for betraying client for
s2,25O. The specific charge was grand
larceny, and despite the strenuous
efforts of the district attorneys Office
and of prominent Tammany politicians
to have the sentence suspended, the
judge said he had too great love for
the legal profession to allow the young
man to go unpunished. The history of
the case which caused the sudden end
ing Of this bright young mans career
is as follows:
In October, 1898, George s. Martin
retained him to defend him on charge
of swindling. Martin gave Price an
order to draw $2,250 from the Mercan-
tile National bank, his private account,
for expenses. Price drew the money
and then told the district attorneys
office enough about Martin to cause
him to be convicted and sentenced to
three years in Sing Sing. The bar asso-
citation took the matter up and secured
Prices Indictment. He got bail and the
trial hung fire until last week. Martin
testified against him and rice was con-
yicted by the jury without leaving
their sests."

The farmers of Webster county, par
ticularly of Elkhorn township, have
been systematically worked by brace
of clever swindlers, who palm them
selves off as representatives of large
Chicago wholesale grocery houses. They
go to a farmer and tell him that their
plan is to sell direct to the consumer at
just half what he would have to pay
for the same article in town. They
show him samples which seem to be
good enough and with their cunning
talk generally secure large order. Of
course cash in advance is demanded
and prompt delivery of the goods
promised.
After waiting days and weeks the
farmer either gets nothing at all, or
gets some few articles, possibly not at
all what he ordered, and never in the
quantity promised. He examines his
receipt and finds that it does not item
ize the bill ordered and paid for SO that
there is little recourse.
1t is said that one prominent farmer,
who gave an unusually large order, got
the whole thing in black pepper;pepper
for week days; pepper for Sundays;
pepper for holidays; pepper for years
and generations yet unborn. Such q
bulk o. pepper has never before been
seen in that locality as was received by
that farmer. 1t seems that all the
territory was thoroughly covered and
dozens of farmers bled 1t was the
old, old story of the desire to get some
thing for nothing which in the end is
