WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,. DEC. 6, 10

EDGERToN, WIS. DEC. 6, 1901.
Buyers have been out in many of the
southern growing counties since some
portion of the tobacco was removed from
the poles, and their riding has resulted
in the purchase of several hundred acres
as commencement of the movement.
The sales coming to notice show the
range of prices that are generally sup
posed to be for choice selections. The
dealers riding say their greatest difficulty
in effecting trades is the stiff prices
asked by growers that taxes their per-
suasive powers to overcome Among a
certain class, however, there is dispo-
sition to accept the going figures.
We have the following sales to report:

The demand for the 1900 tobacco con-
tinues unabated, both in the local mar

LANCASTER New ERA. Nov. 26, 1901
AS the holidays are approaching, the
indications of dull market appear to be
increasing. There are only few weeks
between now and the time when dealers
in all kinds Of tobacco will close up their
books for the season, to meet the re.
quirements OF the Government, and also
to straighten out their personal affairs,
so it will not be surprising if little furth-
er is done in the way of buying and sell
ing before the new year, as nearly every
body is ready to take breathing spell
have reached us during the week were
sold by Walter S. Bare, and 125cs sold
by Jacob Mayer; in all, 370cs. For the
corresponding week of last year the sales
we're 174cs.
After a six weeks wait, the tobacco
two days rain, which has put the crop
now hanging in the barns into excellent
condition for stripping. No doubt thous-
ands OF farmers will take advantage Of
the present condition of things, and for
some time to come the stripping cellars
will be the liyeliest places on all the
farm. 1t is, perhaps, a thankless task
to once more call attention to the ex-
treme Importance of handling the new
crop with the utmost care. There was a
tendency to pole-sweat when it was first
put into the sheds Careful methods
brought it through that period without
much harm, but there are various ways
whereby it may still be damaged by
careless growers. What is needed is hon
est, conscientious work in the stripping
room, SO that it will pass safely through
all the intermediate stages until it en-
ters the cases, or the sweating rooms,
where it will be treated in bulk.

New York.
1 New YORK, Nov. 80, 1901.

The market this week was quite ac-
tive. All types were in demand and
many sales were made, but the chief
transactions were in Connecticut and
Wisconsin leaf. OF the former about
eight hundred boxes, both of broad leaf
and Havana seed, were sold in bulk at
prices in advance of the fall figures, and
of the latter the transactions ran into
the thousands. 1t is reported that
certain corporation is trying to gobble
up every box of 1900 Wisconsin in sight.
New York packers who still hold large
quantities were approached to make the
deal, but it was not closed on account of
the high prices demanded by the New
Workers. But the deal was successful in
Philadelphia, several firms there selling
out their entire holdings. The money
value involved in this Philadelphia deal
in Wisconsin is reported to have been
$275,OOO. But this amount is evidently
exaggerated. The fact, however, that
one manufacturing concern is attempt
ing to buy up all the 1900 Wisconsin it
can lay it's hands on ought to be warn
ing to other manufacturers who have
held back from supplying themselves
with the most available binder leaf in
the expectation of squeezing the holder
down half cent, that they will be
sorely left And it is not only question
of next years supply of Wisconsin, but !
also for the year 1903, as this years crop
was nearly ruined by the drouth. There
is nothing in view to take the place of
the Wisconsin binder. The few thous-
and cases of Onondaga are being jobbed
out rapidly, and before the new year
will have advanced few weeks the On
ondaga will be out of the market, too. |
The trade in Sumatra remains in a |
fairly active condition. The domestic |
wrapper supply being short the Suma-
ira must now naturally have the CALL Tt |
sells freely and satisfactorily. The sales
for the week amounted to about 200 |
bales.
The Havana business was quiet during
the week.-Journal.

FIRE ON DELAWARE STREET.
False Report Of Negro Burned TO
Death Caused Excitement

"A fire in the rear Of 31 North Delaware
street about midnight caused great excite
ment and much alarm. A negro and a
white man who refused TO tell his name
ran south on Delaware street as far as Mar
ket street, shouting "Firei Fret Fire. as
loud as healthy and probably well-trained
lungs could shout. Occupants OF the apart-
ment houses at Delaware street and Massa-
chusetts avenue looked from their windows
and beheld TO the north a mass of flames In
the rear of the block occupied by Stout's
shoe store. 1t had a threatening APPEAR

block was doomed. A report that a negro
had been burned 10 death added 10 the ex-
The fire department got a line OF
hose quickly TO the fire and the blaze was
soon subdued. The fire was I'm the rear por-

street, owned by a. l.. Higgins and occu-
pled by Mrs. Culiens, who keeps a boarding
mousse. The loss was about 500.
The white man who ran down the street
crying Fire. and later refused TO give
his name lived on the opposite side Of Del
aware street. He heard cries Of fire and
hurried across the street. The flames were
then shooting through the roof. A woman
looked out Of an upper window and said
there was a negro sleeping in the burning
portion of the building. He broke open
the door, went inside, and, after breaking
open an inner door In search Of the negro,
was driven back by the flames. DIR. Rob-
erts, who was the second man on the scene,
tied a handkerchief over his face and tried
TO find the negro who was said to be in

back, and no body was found in the house.

CATHOLIC FEDERATION
MEETING OF
SOCIETIES NEXT MONTH.
Fifteen Hundred Delegates Expected
to Participate in a HfstOry-Mak-
ing Convention.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.-Members Of
Catholic organizations and Catholic COM
munIties generally throughout the country
are much interested in the approaching
convention of the American Federation of
Catholic Societies Of the United States,
which will open in Cincinnati Dec. 10. They
regard it as a history-making event for
the church in America.
The federation has the approval and CO.
operation Of the most distinguished p~relates
in the United States. Bishop McFaul. of
New Jersey, was one of its most earnest
promoters and is now it's spiritual director.
Preparations for the organization of the
movement have been under way for a long
time, but it was not until August last at
Long Branch that an organization was
finally effected. This was done by the cleo
ton of the following national officers:
President, Henry j. Fries, Erie, Pa; vice
president, Judge Thomas w. Fitzgerald,
Brooklyn; treasurer, NJ. p. Mooney, Cleve-
land; secretary, John j. O'Rourke, Phila-
delphia. The Indiana member OF the execu-
tive board is +. D.. Reardon, of Anderson.
Since that time interest in the movement
has been widespread. Every Catholic or
ganiZation in the country has notified the
national officials of its intention to par
ticipate in the convention. The national
Offices are in this city, and a corps of clerks
have been employed for weeks answering
inouiring correspondents and making ar
rangements for the Cincinnati gathering.
Ii is believed that the convention will num-
Der 1.5O0 delegates, and the city of Cincin-
natl is making elaborate preparations TO
receive and entertain them. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts,
Ohio. Maryland, Kentucky, Illinois and In
diana will in particular be largely repre-
scented. The most distinguished Catholic
Iaymen and churchmen in the country will
be among the delegates and speakers. There
will be an orator of the West and an orator
of the East. The former will be District
Attorney p. II. O'Donnell, of Chicago, and
the latter will be either w. Bourke Cock
ran. of New York, or Michael j. Ryan, of
Philadelphia.
The convention will be attended by an
elaborate street parade of uniformed CathO-
lie Knights of America and other similar
societies. II will be inaugurated by a pom
tifcal mass at the Cincinnati Cathedral, at
which Archbishop Elder will preside. The
Rt. Rev. Bishop Horstmann, of Cleveland,
will celebrate the mass and the sermon
will be preached by another prominent
bishop of the country.
Ii is expected that the convention will
make some positive declarations upon mat
ters of current national interest, such as
the position of the church in the Philip
pines. 1t will effect a permanent organiZa-
ton for future work and it's officers will
probably include some of the most promi-
nent and conspicuous Catholics in the coun-
try.
