LANCASTER New ERA. June 81, 1900.
There was very little activity in the
home market during the past week.
Only few sales were made, and they
were not of large amounts. In addition,
however, the jobbers have been selling
very literally to the local manufacturers,
who seem to be full of orders. The sales
brought to our notice are so cases sold
by I. Ell. Weaver 65 cases sold by Sam
uel Siesel; SO cases bought by Samuel E.
Ream, 80 goods, and 115 cases sold by
Memo M. Fry; in all, 3l2 cases, as
against 1,500 cases sold during the cor
responding week of last year.
The past week was most favorable to
the growing crop. There was rain and
sunshine, and the newly set plants had a
boom, of which they have taken every
possible advantage. Planting is we'll ad
vanced, both in New England and the
West, and from most sections an in
creased acreage is reported.

EDGERToN, WIS, June %, 1900.
The market seems entirely barren of
any news as far as transactions from first
hands are concerned The dealers are in
a great measure enjoying their summer
vacations and but little is doing about
the warehouses. Reports are that the
'99 crop is we'll along in the sweat though
but little can be known of the result un-
til sampling commences later. The only
transaction among packers coming to
notice is the sale of a 76cs lot '97 by S.
B. Heddles to an eastern packer.
The work of planting the new crop
will be about over by the close of the
week. The early set fields are looking
finely, the stand is good and the young
plants are making remarkable progress.
Rain is again needed but the crop is not
suffering as yet.
The shipments out of storage are only
moderate, amounting to but 500cs FOR
the week past from this station to all
points. Since last report about 500cs of
cigar leaf were exported from New York.

condition it is apt to get into fermenta-
tion quicker than when packed in bet
ter condition, and is more apt to show
damage from rotting. Those who are
sweating their crops should be sure that
the heads of the cases are sufficiently
open to allow the moisture thrown off to
escape readily. Sometimes it is well to
remove one or two boards from the
heads to prevent damage.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Northfeld, June 13: "The tobacco
plants are being set this week. There
will be something like 16 acres raised in
this town the present year. slight in

ii: 1.-THE work of setting out the present
crop is progressing rapidly. Plants seem
to be abundant and large. There will
be quite an increase over the last CROP"
Hinsdale, June II: II think two thirds
of the tobacco crop in this town has been
set, and some engaged in hoeing it, and
others still preparing the land, rather
late. Plants are plenty. Most of the
setting is done with a machine" Sun
derland, June IS: "The weather the past
week has been very fine for setting to-
bacco. The cold weather caused the
plants to grow quite slowly, but they are
plenty, and transplanting about finished.
The acreage will be increased somewhat.
Many new curing barns have been built.
Cut worms have not troubled yet. Per
haps, the cold weather has kept them
back, and will appear later" Southamp-
ton, June Is: "The labor of setting the
present crop is largely done, and the
stand is pretty good. There is an in
creased acreage, and we have high hopes
of getting good prices, at least SO it
seems to me-" East CRANKY, Ct.: "The

One of the most significant transac-
tions took place in the market the past
week. It was the sale of thousand
boxes of '98 Wisconsin to one of our
largest down town packers at Ia cents.
The significance lies both in the price
and in the parties that bought the Wis
consin at such high figure. Of course,
it was exceptionally fine packing, unen-
numbered by any lower grades. Never
theless 14c. is very stiff figure for any
packing house to pay. That it was paid
could have been done only on the as
sumption that there will nevertheless be
a profit in it. And so there will. There
was no over abundance of fine, desirab BILE
leaf in the 98 crop, and what there was
has long been absorbed by the factories.
And there is no over abundance of it in
the '99 crop. AS the U. S. Tobacco
Journal stated at the beginning of the
present season: "The '99 Wisconsin crop
will yield only 25 per cent. of irst-class
binder leaf. In other respects the vol
ume of business done in domestic leaf
was but moderate. The force-sweated
New England leaf is being pushed and
taken for immediate needs, and odd lots
of old stock are being picked up here
and there.
The new Sumatra is moving quite sat
isfactorily alongside the old. The OBJ
lection to its "dryness" seems TO have
disappeared. At any rate, the later i'm
portations seem to have made market
for the first importations, although OF
higher price. The Sumatra is the wrap.

it has to be had whether it comes up tc

NEW YORK. June 20. 1900.

Although complaints of dullness con-
tinue to be heard, there are more signs of
life i'm the market than there were earlier
IN the month. There are fair indications
that business is beginning to Improve.
There is some demand for the 1899 Penn
sylzania Broad leaf, and, judging from
the packers samples, the tobacco will
make a very fine filler. The new natural
sweated Connecticut, both Broad leaf
and Havana Seed, is beginning to sell
for September delivery, and several very
fair sized deals have been put through
during the past few DAYS.

WEED cutting along country roadsides
may IN time become part of regular
spring work as much as grading and lev
cling thoroughfares. Iowa seems to
have taken the initiative In this matter.
and this spring bill was introduced au-
thorizing the road supervisors to cut
the weeds and pay for the work as for
any other improvement. This was plan
ned to take the place of the existing
law, requiring land owners to cut the
weeds on highways and adjacent to their
which has worked somewhat
enthusiastically. The principle is right,
however, and the weeds must be held
down by one means or another.

Edgerton,

Despite all the discouraging backs
of the dry weather during the early
planting of the present tobacco crop,
now comes the cheering information that
the crop never looked better at this
time of the year. The early setting had
secured a good roofing when the rains
came. So that it's advancement has
been something remarkable since. The
fields seem to have good stand and IN
size considerably in advance of other
years at this date. The weather during
the dry spell was cool, fortunate cir
cumstance, for but few of the plants
were burned out and not more than ten
per cent were lost even during the most
trying days The transplanting will be
completed in all sections during the
month of June which is early enough
for this latitude. The soil was seldom,
if ever, in better condition to receive the
crop than this season, the dry weather
held back the weeds, so the fields are
practically clean so far, while the crop
has an excellent start. There are every
assurance that the full intended acreage
is out.

The drift of sentiment in favor of Sen.

Connecticut valley Tobacco Market,

Sales are infrequent. Those holding
their crops of tobacco for the sweat do
not expect to sell at present, as very little
of it will get into the sweat before July
or August, unless it has been kept in
warm room. Generally about the first
of September it will get dried off suffic-
iently to examine and perhaps to sample.
