EDGERTON, WIS, Jan. 70. l9Ul.
The selling of the remainder of the
new crop is proceeding very slowly.
Buyers are picking away in various sec
tions in about the same manner as for
several weeks past, but nowhere has
there a disposition developed to clean
up the remnants. Prices range all the
way down from s cents for selections
though the bulk of transactions are
made below seven cents. Quite few hail
cut lots have been picked up of late at
from 2 to cents.
Sales coming to our notice are:

warehouses plentifully and the packing
condition remains as heretofore involv
ing considerable difficulty at settlements
The number of reflections increase rather
| than diminish.
The shipments out OF storage reach Il
! carloads 845 cases, for the week pas
from this station to all points. Sine,

STOUGHToN, WIS. Jan. 18, 1901.

Long lines of teams loaded with the
weed may be seen coming to town daily,
which is distributed amongst the vari-
Gus warehouses, sufficiently to keep the
500 hands employed. But very little
buying is being done at preset the de-
liveries being of former purchases. Steve
Lally, of Dunn, delivered his 1O-acre
crop on Wednesday to Mart Green at
8&2. Andrew Norman picked up about
80 acres the past week at prices from 4
to &c. G. E. Tallard, of Edgerton, was
looking after bargains in this section on
Wednesday. Hub.

LANCASTER New ERA. Jan. Is, 1901.
Our local market gave prominent signs
of a revival during the past ten days
Whether this improvement is spasmodic
only, or whether it may be taken as an
indication OF better times ahead re-
mains to be seen. AS old tobacco is low
in price. too low altogether, when it's
cost to the packers is considered, it may
be that some manufacturers who are
running low in their supplies have been
stocking up q little. At all events, cigar
production is moving along at rapid
pace, and every one knows that tobacco
is required to make cigars; so, perhaps.
manufacturers may have 10 stock up ii
little more literally in the near future
than they have been doing in the past:
There seems to be no disposition to re-
sume the purchases of last years crop,
and we know of no house that is doing
more than picking up single crops at
long intervals. A packer tod the writer
that he had driven forty-fiv miles one
day last week and made no purchases,
because he could see no money for him
self in the goods. We saw notice in a
country paper Of crop Of seedleaf that
was sold at cents through, from which
it may reasonably be inferred that there
is some desirable tobacco in the crop.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Very few recent sales are reported
Our correspondents give us some in for
nation relative to other matters that we.
are glad to receive. The various matters.
pertaining to the recent experiments at
Poquonock, under the direction Cf the
agricultural experiment station of Con-
necticut and the department. of agricul-
ture, are interesting, We agree with
two of our correspondents that we,
should not hesitate to ask our legislature
to. appropriate $1,000 to enable a couple,
of experiments in Massachusetts under
shade, and ask the experts OF the agri-
cultural department 70 render such as
sistance as is desired to make success
of the experiment. At Hatfield we have
two men who have the soil as we'll as the
ability to properly attend to its culture,
Alfred III. Graves or Benjamin NJ War
ner, either of whom would fill the bill;
also Mr. Fowler, of Westfeld. These
farms are 80 situated that the bulk of
the growers could readily visit and note
the progress as we'll as the conclusion of
the experiment. We do not think it
wise for every grower to rush into the
business of erecting shade and planting
Sumatra and attempting to harvest, cure
and sweat the crop. Cultivator.
