THE JERSEY CITY NEWS,


My dear Chief Murphy
beg to acknowledge the receipt Of
your letter of this date, in regard to the
prosecution of an advertising agent for
displaying questionable posters for the
Bon Ton Theatre. AS / do not under
stand your summons to be subpoena
but only an invitation, must decline to
be present in the First Police Court to-
morrow for the purpose of airing my
views on the question at issue.
/ have no desire to advertise myself by
gratuitously figuring in proceedings of
this sort have consumed good deal
of ink in condemning amateur prosecu-
tors. and it would be strange if should
now assume the role myself. OF course
/ might be on the other side when l saw
the exhibits in court, but do not want
to take the risk of having to pose as
DEVILS Advocate.
OF course, if I were under subpoena, I
should appear in court as my duty as a
citizen requires, and should there seek a
definition of my status as expert or as
witness to fact; but in the absence of
any compulsory process, without mean
ing the least discourtesy to you or dis
respect to the court, I will ask leave to
stick to my own business.
Cordially yours,

wrapper leaf will be another and per-
haps still more difficult problem to solve
in the new year. For the 1901 Connecti-
cut crop has been affected by damage to
much more serious extent than was re-
ported early in the season. The percent
age of damage is estimated now to be
fully fifty per cent. and more, and even
the unchanged portion does not come
mp to expectations. The Sumatra is
naturally going to profit from this situa-
tion more extensively than may appear
now on the surface, though trade in Su-
matra has remained strong all along and
has caused very little disappointment
among the importers.
The renewed activity in Havana leaf

Remedies is holding out, several fair
sized transactions having been effected
during the week. AS for factory vegas,
they need not go begging. If all the of
fers made for them were accepted the
market could be closed out in less than
no time.--Journal.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Dec. III, lSUl.
Few things are more uncertain than
the leaf tobacco market. Sometimes
when all the conditions seem favorable
to an immediate and active trade it sim
ply refuses to move, and, like balky
horse, goes backward rather than for
werd. Ten days ago period of depres-
sion seemed to have settled down on the
home market which most dealers fqlFed,
and some thought would continue dur
ing the few remaining weeks of the year.
But that is just what did not take place.
During the past week buyers came along
from the East and the West, and before
they left for home the following trans
actions were put on record B. M. Now
cry bought 12Ocs and sold So; B. G. Mel
linger & Brother sold 680cs: Abraham
Mann sold 103cs; Schnader & Son sold
3O0cs; Jacob Mayer sold 350cs; Charles
Btner sold 2Ocs; John d. Skies sold 60
and bought 180cs; in all, 1918cs. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were 2S7cs
There is still no movement in this
years crop, single sale having reached
US, several acres of seedleaf at 7 cents
through. AS farmers are actively en-
gagged at stripping on all sides, it is likely
we may soon hear of transactions, but
the holidays are only two weeks away,
and that is likely to defer operations un-
til next year.

M1AM1sBURG. O.. Dec. u. 1901

The demand for the 1900 crop is still
fair, though only moderate amount of
business is doing. on account Of the scar
city of desirable lots. No change in
prices reported.
This vicinity was favored with rain
Sunday night and Monday, and many
farmers took advantage of the opportu-
nifty to remove portion of their new
crop from the poles. In some localities
the humidity was insufficient for render
ing the leaf in proper condition. How
ever, a start at stripping has been made,
and with the next rain the work will be-
come general. A number OF crops of
thinner were sold during the week at
10c through by growers on the Ridge"
southeast of town.-News.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA, 1901.

Although the year is approaching its
close and the factories are preparing to
close down by working up every bit of
leaf on hand, the market the past week
was nevertheless in fair condition of
activity. The principal sales have been in
Onondaga, several hundred. cases of
which changed hands, The Onondaga
has been for some time in great demand
for binder purposes, as there is but a
limited quantity of Wisconsin left, and
this is being held back for an advance.

offer of 19c was made the past week for
1900 boxes and refused, the price having
been fixed at Zoe, and 20c and more it
will be in few weeks. The domestic

Quiet reigns in the local market. In
fact, it is SO quiet that to the uninitiated
it would seem hardly possible that there
was an acre of tobacco grown in this
vicinity the past year. There is scarcity
of buyers, and as the weed is in no con-
dition to handle there is no tobacco &C
tion and scarcely any tobacco talk. A
week of case weather would start things
up with a vim, and that is what farmers
are waiting for.-Enterprise.

EVANSVILLE, WIS, Dec. 13, 1901.

The movement of the new crop is gain
ing momentum, and majority of the
buyers of this market are riding, but
trading is slow, owing to quite differ
ence between the asking and offering
prices. Crops purchased so far are
among the best and prices paid range
from 7 to lie, several hundred acres hav-
ing been purchased at those figures.
Whenever the buyers and the farmers
can agree sales are promptly made. 1t
is not likely that buying will become
general until after the holidays.
The sales coming to our notice are as
follows:
Patrick Tracey, ia at 9&2c
Frank Chubbuck, 5a at 8&2c.
Will Pember, 5a at 8114&2c.
b. NJ. Calkins, 14a at S&2c.

0. Ell. Florida, Ga at 6&2c.
In old goods transactions are confined
to small lots to manufacturers Farm

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, DEC. 20, 1901.


The cold wave and the approaching
holidays are each responsible for the
lack of activity in the tobacco districts.
There has been but little movement
among the buyers during the week and
few have cared to brave the storms and
extreme cold of out of door exposure. A
few sales previously made have come to
notice showing what growers ere receiv-
ing where trades are effected:
H. Bitterness. 10a at 1O&2c.
w. Gest, Ga at 10&2c.
Hamlin & Jurgenson, Ga at 11&2c.
Ed. Kirby, Ga at 10&2c.
Will Hemphill, Ga at t734c.
j. L. johnson, IA at 1019&2c.
E. Maxwell, 5a at 101a&2c.
John Bickle, IA at10&2c.
A few transactions in old leaf have
taken place though generally confined to
small lots. w. S. Brill purchased 100cs
of 1900 of Will Parish. w. T. Pomeroy
& Co. sold 1O0cs lot to an eastern jobber.
Barnard & Wilder are said to have pur-
chased moderate sized lot of 1900 of
Kittelson and Toes lot of '9S of Bjoin,
Stoughton packers. Parish also sold a
27cs lot of '99. Mr.. Ell. W. Bremen of
Philadelphia, picked up about 100 cases
from local packers in this market, which
comprises the trading that has come to
notice.
Casing weather that prevailed previ-
Gus to the cold wave brought tobacco
again into very fair condition and an
other portion of the hanging crop was
removed for stripping.
The shipments out of storage reach
but about 300cs, car loads, to all
points from this market. Since last re-
port 350cs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.


Business is handicapped by the long
continued dry and cold weather, as the
grower is unable to take his crop from
the poles unless he can supply steam.
Very few Of the growers have the facili-
ties for this purpose. Those who have
are fortunate. Some parties have hired
for use portable engines and boilers, and
have thus been enabled to get the plants
from the poles. These engines and boil
ers are set up outside Of the curing barn,
and thus dampen the leaf Some deal
ers are trying to make he'groWers think
that the leaf is injured by the steam.
What foolishness! Perhaps that good
foggy time would ruin it. They always
blow against force sweating, but as soon
as it is their property it is put into the
sweat room That's the difference in the
ownership It is very desirable that
mans crop should be all down and ready
for examination before it is offered for
sale:
Our correspondents write as follows:
East CRANKY, Ct: "Our 1901 crop is a
good one. The pole sweat whore it oc-
CURED was mostly confined to the lower
tier. We are credibly informed that
many Of the early sales in some Of our
towns have been cancelled where no for
felt money was paid. have not heard
Of any cancelling in this town. The
warm weather indicated rain We mean
to take the balance of the crop from the
poles. Considerable interest is manifest
in the shade growing Of tobacco" Ell
lington, CT: "The tobacco is SO dry that
will require a good long warm, damp
spell to have it fit to come down We
don't expect to have any sales until we
can get it down, so have no sales to re-
port" Cultivator

NEW YORK, Dec. II, 1901.

The principal inquiry during the week
has been for Wisconsin binders and new
Pennsylvania Broad leaf, but the de-
mand at the best has not been strong,
and the past seven days in domestic leaf
circles must go down as quiet period.
Buyers from out of town are exception
ally scarce. The few sales reported are
hardly worth recording.
Sumatra. a.-This branch Of the trade
has also experienced quiet week. I'm
porters generally have booked number
of orders for shipment after January l,
but not much actual business is expect
ed until next month. A general revival
of activity is expected early in the new
year.
Havana Although the transactions
of the past week show considerable i'm
provement over the preceding one, i'm
porters generally report an unsatisfac-
tory business, especially in Remedies to-
baccO. The pressure to sell on the part
of certain large holders of old goods, who
have shown great anxiety to tighten their
load, and the large quantity of low grades
both of first and second caps offering,
has hung over the market like cloud,
and has interfered with the regular
course of trade. But this cloud is grad
ually disappearing, and the prospects for
the new,year are full of promise The
quantity of Remedies tobacco used in
the lower grades of cigars will show an
immense increase from now on; and If
wrappers and filters are to come in at
one rate of duty, as we have every rea-
son to believe they will, a quickened de-
mand for Vueltas will surely follow.

Akron Board Has Had Trouble on This Account
at All Times.

The Board was confronted by sever
al unexpected designations Tuesday
The cooking teachar, Miss Ethel Fos-
ter, whose health. dwill not permit
further work at this time, resigned.
Miss Lulu T.. CLARK and Mary E..
Sykes, also resigned and Miss Bertha
Hoagland, who is now in the west for
her health, has asked for leave of alb
sence during September and October.
The leave will probably be given.
Miss Loreaux, at $3.50; Miss Mabel
Mills at $3.50; Miss Grace Wellsby, at
$3.50; Miss Norma Williams, at $4OO;
Miss Hope Lewis, at $3.50 and Miss
Mary %. Thornton at $500, were en-
ployed by the Board for some of the
vacancies.
The employment of Miss Lewis and
Miss Thompson occasioned some dis,
cussion because of the fact that neither
was known here, but the matter was
satisfactorily adjusted.
Superintendent H. V. Hotchkiss and
the teachers committee were author.
ized to go ahead and employ all teach.
ers necessary to open the schools. This
authority dos not enable them to hire
special teachers however.

Man From Detroit Made Those

Toledo, O., Aug. 2S-The mystery
surrounding the words Murder" and

woven in spiders web, attracting
thousands Of people to the place
where Jim Lee was murdered, has
been solved.
A Mrs. Leggett, who came here
from Detroit, has acknowledged that
her husband made the letters. She
made the admission to ease the mind
Of servant girl who had shown signs
of insanity because of the web on

Leggett said her husband makes the
letters from flbers he takes from
spider webs. Armed with string
of letters he has but to put them ON
q web that strikes his fancy. The let
ters are slightly moistened, and then
Leggett, by u gentle breath, blows
them upon the web and they cling
there as though placed there by the
spider itself. He does it so deftly that
no one, unless cognizant Of the meth.
cd employed, would suspect the de-
ception. He uses his letters for ad-
vertising purposes.

Mr.. White went out and visited res
idents on Sherbondy Hill and else,
where, at places where there was said
to be a strong supply of spring wa
ter.
1t was the intention of the Board to
determine whether or not it would be
practical to buy spring water from
these people. 1t was found that a re,
liable supply can be had at a cent and
one-half per gallon. The Committee
on Supplies so reported at Tuesday
nights meeting of the Board, but no
recommendation was made in the mat
ter, and the schools will probably get
along as they have done before, helped
out this time by such of their wells
as can be repaired.

Ill health has made great gaps in
the ranks of the Akron school teach
ers, both during the year just ending
and during other years. The nerve
racking talk Of instructng the young,
the constant drain on nerve and brain,
frequently compel the discontinuance
temporarily and even the permanent
resignation of many of Akron's best
teachers.
Usually there are other teachers
close at hand, home teachers who can
be obtained not only to fill the vacan-
cies thus created but to fill them thor
oughly and well.
In cases where matters are easily
arranged in this way there is very sell
dom any trouble among the members
of the Board of Education with ref
erence to. the filling of the positions.
Some times, however, the Board sees
fit or sees the necessity of hiring other
than home teachers to take the places
of those who resign.
When instructors are sent for to 9TH
er cities, there is straightway a COM
plant from the promoters Of the home
product and ain Akron teacher is
found.

School District Changes
With New School Complete

The prospect Of the completion Of
the Miller school for occupancy this
fall and the congestion of young hui
manity at the schools surrounding the
Miller has made necessary a consid-
erable change in the school districts
of that part Of the city. This step,
while it does not effectually relieve the
crowded condition of the schools eff
fected is a start in that direction and
will start the Miller school ON its ca
reer with youthful population of at
least 400.
The Howe school now has 75O and
the changes, which follow, will not give
