Just at present buyers are waiting
anxiously the curing of the crops as yet
not affected by pole sweat. 1t is quite
evident from reports that reach us from
various sources that considerable leaf is
injured. That was dated Sept. Is. Since
then fine northwest breeze has come
with all it's attendant benefits. The ear
liest cut is about ready to take down,
probably fully cured, but it is generally
benefited by equalizing the color, by it's
being dampened before it is taken down.
1t is also rather early to strip and let it
remain for some time in bulk, as it is
liable to sweat and get discolored unless

to be assorted and packed, it is as well
to do the work in comfortable weather
as it is with cold work later on. Where
growers arranged for introducing heat
either from steam or building fires, they
bid defiance to the sweat. There is much
to learn yet about curing of tobacco. AS
yet, Sept %, we have had no frost to do
any harm. What little has been seen
was in low marshy land, and did not
affect the tobacco in the least.-Culti-

Spooner Gets His Franchise.

P. L. Spooner was Monday evening
granted a franchise for constructing an
electric line in GAINESVILLE to connect with
his proposed road from Madison to James
vile by way of Stoughton and Edgerton.
The franchise is for fifty years and gives
him the right to enter the city from the
north. The line ends at Meyers hotel,
corner Milwaukee and North Main
streets.
This line is to be the continuation of
the line proposed by Spooner to begin at
Kilbourn and run to GAINESVILLE by way
of Baraboo, Devils Lake, etc. Work on
the road will begin within fifteen months
and completed in three years. An amend
ment to the original franchise was made
by preventing the placing of double or
side tracks on Main street.
1t is now up to the common councils
at Edgerton and Stoughton to take
action on franchises that has for several
weeks been pending in these cities. The
matter has been pretty we'll discussed in
these towns by the joint committees and
it would seem there need not be much
further delay in this matter. Having
secured the necessary permits for his
terminals, Mr.. Spooner has right toask
now that action be taken at the inter-
mediate points which his proposed line
passes through.

New YORK. Sept. %, 1901.

The market has settled down to it's
normal condition. The rush is over for
the present. bat is lilxety to come On
again before the year closes. For con-
sidering the consumption the supply ac-
quired during the recent rush was hut
moderate. Inquiries for Wisconsin bin
ders are getting more urgent every day,
but the packers still have no samples to
show. The binder problem will, indeed,
be a very serious one in the near future.
In the meanwhile the New England
crops are being thinned out, "bag and
baggage so to say. The color that was
repudiated four weeks ago as not light
enough is today being looked upon with
much more favor and the "blacks" that
were scorned at any price are being cov-
eted by manufacturers of inferior grades
at certain figure. The Onondaga has
the next call for wrapper purposes and
trading in it has been quite lively. Filler
stock is also elling at good rate if not
in blocks of hundreds of cases. Alto

New YORK, Sept. 25, 1901.

During the past week the domestic
leaf market has been entirely void of in
teresting developments. There is a de-
cided scarcity of out of town buyers, and
while hOme-trade customers are doing
considerable ''looking" no important
sales have come to the surface. Jobbers
are still complaining of their inability to
deal in the new goods, owing to the high
prices which packers are compelled to
ask for their goods. The trade to which
the jobbers cater will not pay the figures
which the jobbers must ask in order to
warrant them in handling the tobacco.
The demand for seconds continues stead
lily, but packers are refusing to split up
their packings to the extent of selling
out this much-coveted grade of their
holdings. In taking this stand they are
quite justified, as the selling out of their
seconds would very likely act as busi-
ness boomerang.
Sumatra.-Persons inclined to be pes
simistic have declared during the sum-
mer that the fair degree of activity which
has characterized the Sumatra market
would serve to dispel the conservatism
of importers, and that they would rush
in and buy blindly at the fall sales.
Judging from the cabled reports of the
first autumn inscription, however, no
heads have been turned. A compare
lively small portion of the tobacco offer
ed was taken by Americans, and the fav-
orable outlook in this market remains
unchanged. During the past week bus
mess has been rather quiet.
Havana.-No symptoms of insomania
have been discovered in local Havana
leaf circles as yet. There is g. very fair
demand for good wrappers, but import
ers who have regular customers for these
goods are not oVeranxious to sell them
to occasional" trade and demand stiff
prices for same. During the past ten
days samples of the new crop, represent
ing several thousand bales, have been
received in this market and have been
subjected to a critical examination by
importers and dealers.-Leaf.

small shipments made nothing has been
done at the warehouses. M. Tobin has
recently purchased "a cases of old leaf

LANCASTER New ERA, Sept. "a, 1901.
The volume of business in the home
market during the past week did not
nearly reach that of last week. The ex-
citement consequent upon the burial of
the President, and several additional re-
ligious holidays observed by the Hebrew
members of the tobacco fraternity all
had a tendency to restrict business.
What was done, however, was done both
in city and county. The sales that have
been brought to our notice were the fol
lowing: A. H. Hershey q Co. sold 3l4cs
and bought Toes; Aaron Charles sold 40
cs; Meiskey & Heiland bought 308cs and
sold 42cs, and John d. Herr sold 2OOcs;
in all, 979cs. For the corresponding
week of last year 1224cs were sold.
The weather toward the close of last
week interfered with the housing of the
still outstanding crop, and considera-
BILE quantity went over into the present
week. There has been some damage in
the barns, but growers have been keep
ing close watch on the situation, and
minimum amount of harm has resulted.
The weather has been fine for several
days, and it looks as if the last of the
crop would be got under cover untouch-,

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Oct. 4, 1901


Matters have been rather quiet
throughout the local markets of the state
the past week. The situation in Vernon
county remains as for some time past
The American Cigar Co.'s buyers are
still in the field and the competition
with local dealers keeps prices steady
and fair amount of sales are being
made. We also learn of few sales in
the lower sections but no organized ef-
fort has been made to cover this terri
tory.
Packers are still busy with their sam
pling and but little movement in old leaf
is reported. Mcintosh Bros. have pur-
chased 500cs of '99 of Brictson at Nc
Farland. S. B. Heddles purchased 400
cases of 1900 low grades. Barnard &
Wilder have commenced the shipment
of an 80Ocs lot sold to export some time
since.
The weather of the week past has been
especially favorable to the curing of the
late harvested tobacco, which stands in
need of several weeks more of warm
pleasant days to bring it through with a
satisfactory cure.
The shipments out of storage reach
25 cars, 1294cs, from this market to all
points for the week past. Since last re-
port 1200cs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

There has been no change in the mar

issue. Occasional small deliveries by
farmers at local warehouses are noticed.
A report is current that frost injured
tobacco in Darke county recently to
considerable extent. In this vicinity no
damage whatever has resulted, though
farmers are alive to the Importance of
securing the remainder of the crop as
rapidly as possible, and are therefore
straining every nerve to that end. The
weather is exceptionally favorable at
present, but considerable tobacco yet re-
mains to be harvested, and no one can
tell what night may bring forth

The harvest of the growing crop is
nearly finished and few days will see
the last plant in the shed. The several
light frosts did little damage, notwith-

before it was ripe.
The warm, summer-like weather this
week has had very beneficial effect on
the shielded tobacco, which is curing out
nicely.

only temporarily palliate the distress,
but never effect cure. Remedies for
dyspepsia have multiplied so rapidly
that they are becoming as numerous
as the leaves of the forest, and yet
dyspepsia continues to flourish in
spite of them all. This is due to the
fact that the cause of dyspepsia Is nos
recognized as catarrh.
If there is a remedy in the whole
range OF medicinal preparations that
is in every particular adapted to dys-
pepsia, that remedy is Peruna. This
remedy is we'll nigh invincible in these

the men from North Dakota reversed
the record Of every war, expedition

action and died from the immediate
effects Of wounds received in the field
than from disease or other causes.
Our losses from disease, which in
