The dense mist overhanging our mar
ket and beclouding its sober Judgment
is gradually lifting and restoring clear
sighted view to prospective business. In
other words, the prophesied disasters
having failed to materialiZe SO far, some
people are beginning TO recover their
natural grit, and what is more encour-
aging, their humor in regard to the pres
ent situation. The ghastly specters are
being hauled before the tribunal of COM
mon sense and 10! and behold they are
recognized as mere bugaboos like the
scarecrows in corntields. Hence a
healthier tone is coming to prevail with
full confidence in the future.
Large transactions are still lacking, but
trading on smaller scale is quite active.
Everything is in demand for immediate
consumption and prevailing prices are
cheerfully paid. Of course, it is hard to
trace all of these smaller transactions,
but they aggregate nevertheless quite
handsome quantity. The force sweated
leaf has the first call, but Wisconsin
binder, Pennsylvania BIS and Zimmer's
are in like demand for immediate con-
sumption. These sales make gradually
big holes In the stock on hand, and when
the courage of buying freely returns it
will be found there is hardly stock
enough to carry the factories through
till the 1901 crops become marketable.
AS for Sumatra, some buyers are hold
ing back to examine the types of the
new crop, which will not be in before
next week, while others are gradually
replenishing their stocks from the old
crops on hand About 200 bales were
disposed of during the week.
With the late importations of the Ha
vana leaf the Havana market has liven-
ed up again Some very fair sales were,
made both in Remedies and Vueltas, ag
gregating 1900 bales. Most of the large
stock that came at the end of last week
was contracted for already in Havana,

While there are indications of an i'm
provement in the markets tone, no great
volume of business has been transacted.
However, an increase in inquiry has been
noticeable, and optimistic dealers look
upon this phase as the forerunner of
more active trading. The demand for
force sweated Connecticut continues
strong, and moderate sales Of ola goods
have been put through.
Sumatra. Until manufacturers and
jobbers have been given an opportunity
to examine prices and settle their opine
ions upon the new tobacco, but little
change can be looked for in this branch
of the market. In the meantime busi-
ness is quite as good as might be expect
ed during this period of uncertainty. A
feature Of the week has been the keen
demand for dark goods. This has been
sprung as veritable surprise. The to-
bacco sought is for Seed and Havana
purposes and the darker the leaf the
better buyers have been pleased. One
firm reports sales aggregating 100 bales
of old goods during the past week.

brought over by the Mexico is as yet

week has been fair one.-Leaf.

A few dealers are abroad trying to Sc
cure a few crops at low down prices. OF
course they succeed in getting few
stray lots, but in the main fair prices are
obtained. V here a grower has rather

LANCASTER New ERA Apr. 9, 1901.
The local market, after months of un-
precedented dullness, took an unex-
pected squirt last week. and a few dealers
were made more or less happy. They
sold some goods, even though they made
no fortunes in them Whether it be-
tides further and continuous business is
uncertain; perhaps not. but, whether it
does or not we are grateful for the streak
of fortune that has come along SO op-
portunely.
Last years crop still continues to drag
slowly along. Packers are showing more
disposition to buy, but only at their own
terms Prices have come down, but not
enough to suit them. A good many
farmers are willing to sell, rather than
hold over, but some express their deter
mination to pack their crops themselves
rather than sell them for less than their
worth, or what they consider such.

A number of buyers have been in this
vicinity this week, and number of
crops have changed hands. At this time
there are very few growers who have not
disposed of their crops, and in most cases
the sales have been very satisfactory.
There has been little trouble in few
instances, between buyer and grower,
but the growers have as a rule disposed

NOTE ROOK SKETCHES

An experiment of force sweating
quantity of the 1900 Wisconsin crop, for
the purpose of demonstrating the ability
of this tobacco to stand the curing test,
has lately been carried through by Mr..
G. L. Culton with result that will be
highly pleasing to the packers in the
west. For the purpose of making the
test thorough one Mr.. Culton had ship
ped to central warehouse in Edgerton
portions of 16 different crops, embracing
eight packings. including tobacco grown
in as many different sections of the state
which was put into a close room and
heat turned on for several weeks. At
times the temperature was allowed to
reach as high as 90 degrees, and the to-
bacco given a severe sweating. When
examined it was found that all the bet
ter grade types had passed through the
curing stage without any damage or
blemish whatever. A few types of low
grades that were not in good packing
condition when placed, showed the only
damage determined by the experiment.
There was no indication of black rot, the
injury most to be feared by packers OF
late years, which is the most assuring in
formation that could have been told.
The general character of the sweated to-
bacco was quite satisfactory.

Jos. Mayors Sons, the New York pack
ing firm, have scored their first point in
the series of legal battles which will have
to be fought during the year as result
of the firms rejecting large number of
crops of New York state 1900 tobacco on
the grounds that it was unmerchantable,
and beginning suits to recover deposit
money and damages from the farmers in
terested. The suits brought by Messrs.
Mayer were returnable in New York
city, and few weeks ago the growers
attorneys applied to Judge Andrews, of
the Supreme Court for change of venue
Judge Andrews has now rendered his
decision, ruling that the suits must be
tried in this city. Concluding his opin-
ion he said: Il am convinced that if the
place of trial is changed, as asked for, it
will be impossible for the plaintiffs
(Messrs. Mayer to have fair and impair
tial trials of these actions, and that such
change would, therefore, not promote
the ends of justice. Some five counter
actions brought by growers in Chemung
and Steuben counties were put over last
week until fall; and ten others, to be
called in Chemung county next week,
are likely to be disposed of similarly.-N.

The first case of litigation arising from
disagreements between buyer and grow
er over the delivery of the present crop
of tobacco, reached a decision in the
municipal court of Rock county last
week. 1t was the case of John Nittum
VS.. A. w. Bentley and was brought un-
der the following circumstances. When
the crop was delivered to Bentley, 800
was held back of the purchase price un-
til the tobacco could be handled through
the warehouse and the amount of dam
age leaf, alleged to be contained in the
crop determined. Only small amount
of damaged leaf was thrown out in the
asserting some 800 lbs-but an agree
ment on the amount to be deducted
could not be reached and Nittum
brought suit against Bentley for the en-
tire amount withheld, S10O. When the
case was called in the justice court Bent
ley made tender of judgment Of $51.07
the amount coming to the plaintiff, less
the deductions for the damaged portions
After trial of the case the justice rem
dered a non-suit in favor of the defend
ant, when the case was appealed to the
municipal court. Here a second trial
resulted in sustaining the decision of
the lower court. Judge Fifeld holding
that Nittum could not recover but the
amount already rendered him by Bent
ley at the commencing of the action.
The costs of both suits of course falls
upon the farmer.

A dispatch from New York published
in Saturdays papers confirms an i'm
portant piece Of tobacco news given in
this column last week concerning the
absorption of the Havana American Co.
by the big tobacco trust, which says:
The American Cigar Co., which was
recently purchased by the American To
bacco Co., has made final arrangements
for the absorption of the Havana Amer
ican Co. The last named company was
organized with capital of SIC, 100000 in
November, 1899, under the laws of New
Jersey, for the manufacture of cigars. By
the absorption of the Havana American
Co. the American Cigar Co., which al
ready controls the manufacture of CT
garettes, snuff and plug tobacco, will
make big stride toward controlling the
cigar trade as WE'LL One of the immedi-
ate results promised to the smoker is a
slight reduction in the retail price of CT
gars. The American company was in
corporated in January, 1890, and was
capitalized at S70,O0O,000
