ed for the crop if no accident occur"
Ellington, CT: From a drive in several
of our towns l have seen many fields of
tobacco, and am of the opinion that they
show up very we'll, though little later
than last year" Northampton; TO
bacco is looking fairly we'll here, but it
is about week later than usual on ac-
count of the cold, backward spring.
There are a few lots of old tobacco in
town, but have no sales to report" Am,
herst: Tobacco is doing finely, and has
been most generally hoed twice. There
has been an increased setting over that
of last year. The earliest set is spind-
ling WE'LL" Hinsdale, N. H.: Most of
the tobacco has been stocked over and
the second hoeing has commenced.
While few are late in setting, plants
were abundant. Worms have been quite
troublesome in some localities There is
a slight increase in acreage" Putney,
VT: plants have of late been in good
supply. There is small increase in
land set with tobacco. 1t is looking very
we'll, but not as early as last year, Show
ers are frequent. "-Cultivator.

Notwithstanding the midsummer dull
ness of buying in the country, there are
transactions going on slowly every favor,
able opportunity. There is always stock.
held by planters every year with the ex-.
pectation of better prices. This has.
been the case this year in regard to-
Dutch, which has advanced and is firmly
held at to s.
The frequent rains have been no ben
eft, as some showers were in such large
volume as to cause washouts on billy
land. Hail fell north of town last week,
cutting tobacco and corn.

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, July 5, 1900.

Excepting now and then small patch
the tobacco crop is now in the field and
is growing nicely. A good soaking rain
fell Monday and the plants are just
booming. Yesterdays a good shower did
a great deal of good to the latest plant
ings. Plants that were put in the ground
ten days ago now have leaves as large as
ones hand and are fairly jumping out of
the ground, as if striving to make up for
lost time, caused by late, dry spring.
The soil is now pretty we'll saturated,
and will give the plants a pretty good
start toward maturity without addi-
tional rain. In old goods the market is
quite in the extreme, and partakes
largely of the vacation period quietness.-

New YORK, July 3, 1900.

July has opened with the dullness
which in the main characterized June
and unless conditions brighten up very
soon, another unsatisfactory month will
have to be chronicled. A little business
is, of course, being done, but no sales
worthy of special mention were reported
during the past week.
SUMATRA.-There is no material change
in the Sumatra situation this week.
Sample bales continue to go out, with
occasional orders as result. Reported
sales were about $50 bales.
HAvANA.-Quite a strong demand is
noticeable, but the bulk of inquiry is for
goods that cannot be obtained in the mar
ket Odd lots are being picked up here
and there, but sales are necessarily of
small proportions. Leaf.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Everything relating to sales except by
the packers remains quite. The new
crop is growing rapidly, with no draw
backs, if we except heavy showers &C
companied by some heavy winds and in
some instances fall of hail. The crop
is yet so small that little damage results.
The wind overturned a large tobacco
barn 135x30 feet, belonging to George M.
Crafts of North Hadley. He has two
other barns, to one of which he was
building a large addition to enable him
to house his IA acres planted this year.
We think it we'll to anchor these large
barns so as to guard against these acci-
dents. The exposure which such long
and narrow buildings offer to a high
wind, when they are empty, is very great,
and they are too often blown down. If
there was four large stones weighing
some three tons each properly distributed
and sunk in the earth, and the building
suitably bolted to the stone, would
probably prevent much loss.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Wethersfield, Ct: "The tobacco crop here
is fully up to the usual standard. Cut
worms trouble some of the fields. About
the usual acreage is set and looking fairly
WE'LL" Poquonnock, CT: Probably
there is an increase of about five per
cent in the acreage of tobacco. The
setting was a few days later than the
average The stand is good now, al
though there has been much stocking
over. There is but small amount of
old goods in the hands of growers. 1t is
thought that good prices will be obtain

buying was done. There were a few or

some few local sales were made for inn

having much trouble in setting the new

make resetting common. In some sec-

The damage, tobacco growers sustain
in the loss of curing sheds each year
through the usual summer storms and
its accompanying winds, has become to
be an important item. The sheds which
are so light and empty during the sum-
mer that anything like heavy wind plays
havoc with them. They present large
surfaces to the wind and the pressure
upon them is frequently enormous,
crushing them in or moving them from
foundations or otherwise injuring the
buildings. Farmers are commencing to
learn that they must erect stronger
frames for their sheds and anchor the
posts we'll and the buildings must be es-
pecially strongly braced. New sheds
that are going up this season are being
made with these facts in view. The
farmers are looking too, more after the
location of their curing sheds and avoid
placing them as much as possible on ex-
posed places where the wind has long
unbrolhen sweep.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The tobacco crop has been fairly Jump
ing since the rains of a week ago. Such
phenominal growth has seldom if ever
before witnessed in this state. So much
wet weather, however, has prevented the
working of the soil and weeds are getting
a start in some places, but the fields are
foregoing ahead so fast that the crop
promises to be made the quickest of any
grown here in many years. 1t has come
forward SO rapidly that is further ad-
vanced than usunl at this date. Many
of the early fields now cover the ground
and topping will soon be in order.
Growers assert there never was better
outlook for tobacco crop that the pres
ent one.

Market Review

New York, December 2O-The stock
market today did not vary materially In
character from that which has prevailed
for many days. Profit taking was on an
enormous scale and was not without
effect on urices, but the inroads made
were not serious and the offerings were
easily absorbed, while this partial weak
ness in the market did not In the least
imuair the eager rush to buy stocks
which showed any disposition to advance.
The day ended with the market more
generally reaotionary than for some time
past under a flood of selling to take
plofits in Northern Pacific and other
stocks which had shown the most aRUres-
sive strength during the day. The rush
to sell Northern Pacific was caused by
the publication OF the statement that a
plan had been perfected for voluntary re-
tirement OF the preferred stock In Janu-
AIRY by exchange for general lien three per
cent bonds, 100 per cent of the bonds be-
ing given for the preferred stock. This
statement was not vouohed for by officials
authority but 1t caused a sudden drop In
Northern Pacific to Sl15, after having
sold at So u an advance of six and three
quarters points over last night. This
was the main feature Of the market, but
there were various other important move
ments which seemed to have relation TO
ID, including the Wisconsin Central, Pere
Marquette, Erie and st Paul shares. In
the Northwest gains extsnded all the way
from two points up to six and three
quarters in Northern Pacific. Sugar was
the one feature amongst the specialttes
with rise OF three and three-sighths,
viii oh was attributed to a turn against
the shorts by the calling in OF long
stocks. A rise OF four in general electric
and full recovery OF yesterdays violent
decline in New York Air Brake were on
very light dealings and attracted very lit
tie attention. Quite "A number OF obscure
low priced stocks moved upwards from
one TO four points. The continued ease OF
money here failed to offer any check to
the active speculation. The market for
railroad bonds continued active and
strong without important exception.
Total sales par value 81, $4,000.
United States threes, old fours and tives
advanced one fourth and new fours de-
clined one fourth per cent on the last
call.
