Connecticut valley Tobacco Market.

The warm, damp time the past week
was utilized by the tobacco growers in
taking from the poles the bulk of the
crop. And the weather has been admir-
able for stripping and bundling the leaf.
The reports are uniform in giving high
estimate of its value. 1t is of good color
silky, fine and elastic. Many growers are
disposed to assort and pack their own
crops. They know its value, and should
not hesitate to ask suitabl price for it,.
They certainly won't get it unless they
ask it,
Our correspondents write as follows
North Hadley, Dec. 10: Tobacco sales.
are rather scattering. Only two have
come to my knowledge. John White and
Richard Hubbard sold their crops in the
bundle to Mr.. Haas of Hartford at 1870,
The leaf of Mr. Hubbard was moistened
by steam to be force sweated. Several
started to steam down their crop from
the poles, but stopped when told that
the packers would not buy it. My opin-
ion is that growers who sell good leaf at
that price, $500 make mistake" Con-
way, Dec. 13: II have to report that the
growers took from the poles quite good

LANC AsTER New ERA, Dec. II, 1901.

There was again very fair volume of
trade in old goods in this market during
the past week. While most dealers were
predicting very dull times until the new
year came in, it has so turned out that
some men came along who wanted to-
bacco, and wanted il now, and took it,
too. But, while the sales were up to the
average in quantity, there is consider
able complaint about the price. The
profits are so small, everybody says, as
to be most discouraging. Some of the
blame for this is laid on country pack
ers, who, it is generally conceded, can
put up packing of tobacco one or two
cents cheaper than the average city
packer. There is also current belief
that the country packer is willing to &C
cept smaller profit than his city rival.
The sales, as they have been reported
to u.s. are as follows: ?. X. and j. L..
Leaman sold 93cs; Isaac Stirk & Co. sold
35cs; John D. Skiles sold 84cs; r. K.
Schnader & Sons sold 250cs; l. *. Weav-
er sold 260cs; G. w. Bitner & Co. sold
150cs; and Kramer & Goldberg sold a
packing of 785cs to Messrs. Conradi q
Goldberg of San Francisco, especially
put up for them. Mr.. Conradi, we un-
derstand, while in the East, also bought
a large quantity of Connecticut Havana
seed for his Pacific coast trade. In all,
these sales amounted to 1854 cases. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were $50 cases.
And still this years crop hangs fire.
What is to be done with it is the ques-
tion everybody is asking. Every one ad-
mits it's great lea6ness, but the packers.
say that is demerit rather than other
wise. Some very few purchases by
country packers are announced from
time to time, but no one has SO far
bought more than few acres. There is
a very general belief that it is held too
high, and that there can be no money in
it at prices asked at present. more es-
pecially if it should develop defects in
the curing.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Dec. 20. 1901.

The chilly blast which struck this sec
tion Saturday morning and sent the
mercury down to Is below zero, is still
holding sway and has effectuslly put a
stop to riding, the buyers preferring to
remain affectionately close to a'good, hot
stove, rather than facing the chilly blast.
1t is not probable that much riding will
be done until after the first of the year,
owing to the extreme cold and holiday
festivities. a"s z2H @,I p }a>

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, DEC. 27, 1901

The usual holiday quietude prevades
the local tobacco markets of the state.
But little riding has been done in the
country districts during the week and
the only sales coming to notice are those
made by the Edwards Bros, reported
elsewhere. We can learn of no system
attic effort being made in any locality to-
wards the movement of the new crop.
Cured leaf is still in excellent demand
and dealers are receiving plenty of in
quiries for samples, but no sales of large
lots have been reported. George Rum
rill has sold 210cs to three customers
this week. Mcintosh Bros. report the
sale of 200cs of low grade goods Pack
ers are holding the better grades of
binder goods at strong prices and seem
Indifferent to present trades.
Milder weather prevails which permits
of stripping among the growers where
the tobacco has been removed from the
sheds. A good deal of the hanging leaf
will come down the next season of cas-
ing weather.
The shipments out of storage have
been light for the past week, not exceed
ing 300 cases, car loads, to al
points from this market. Since last re-
port 1O25cs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

LODI, WIS, Dec. 20, 1901.

Growers were given an opportunity
the past week to take down more of
their tobacco, couple of damp days
tending to put some of the weed in case.
There is no general movement in the
stripping process, however, as there has
not been enough continuous damp
weather to place the entire crop in the
sheds in condition to handle to good ad-
vantage.
Buyers are waking up somewhat, and
one was riding in this section the past
week, though the sales. so far as we can
learn, have been very few, and not even
one has been reported. The buyers are
very slow and cautious, and seemingly
not anxious to rush in and pay the high
prices demneded by the growers before
they know the exact condition of the
crops.-Enterprise

A BILL to be introduced in congress
will provide for an increase of pay for
the rural mail carriers of the country
The bill, if it becomes law, will provide
a salary of $500 for the first year, $500
for the second year and $720 per year
after. This pay is certainly little enough
but it would be welcome increase from
the present salary $500 per year.

NEW YORK. Dec. 81, 1901.

NEW YORK, Dec. Il, l9OI.
The close of the year being at hand the
market cannot be expected to show any
signs of activity because every factory
tries to have as little stock as possible in
store at the present time, when it is Off
cially compelled to take inventory. New
ertheless the market is not entirely de-
void of any transactions. For the factor
les will run close up to the new year, and
being overwhelmingly busy, they always
need some sort of supply to fill in and
help out. Consequently fair weeks
business was done in all grades and
types. Domestic wrapper leaf remains
in steady demand, though little stock of
the right kind is left. Sumatra is now
filling the gap and trading in it is con-.
stant and satisfactory. Transactions in
Havana leaf have likewise experienced
no diminution.. In fact. healthy spirit
pervades the entire market and fore
shadows brilliant prospect for the com
ing year.-Journal.

NEW YORK, Lee. lS, lSUI.
Considering that we are now in the last
two weeks of the year, that cigar manu-
facturers are fully supplied for their hol-
iday business, and that no leaf buyer
cares to have large stocks on hand at in
ventory time, business in domestic leaf
circles has been fairly good during the
past few days. The demand for goods
is not large, but it is steady and sub
stantial; and the character of the in
quiry would indicate that stocks in man
ufacturers' hands are low, and that de-
spite the characteristic dullness of jan
uary, the trade will be favored with
some activity early in the new year. A
number of sales have been made this
week with the proviso that they be not
filled until January 2, and many sales
men have been told by buyers that they
will be in the market after the first of
he year.

PETITION FOR AN INJUNCTION
A Sult Filed to Restrain the louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Company from
Using Forest Park.

ST. Louis, July 26.-In the circuit
court here suit was brought to re-
strain the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition company from using Forest
park as a site for the worlds fair to
be held here in 1909. The petition,
which is filed by Henry II. Werdes and
John \. Bergman, president and vice
president of the Workingmen's Pro-
tective association, claims that the
ordinance is gross violation of the
charter and the rights of citizens.
Messrs. Werdes and Bergman declare
they are taxpayers and are bringing
the injunction proceedings on behalf
of all the taxpayers Of st. Louis. The
ordinance passed by the municipal as
sembly, says the petition, is nothing
more than the leasing of the finest
park in the city to private corpora
ton for its own pecuniary benefit.
Finally, the petition declares, the city
is really a partner with the EXPOSE
ton company in leasing the park, 1t
says that by voting $5,OOO,OOO in bonds
to aid the fair the city became part
ner.

TEE scHLEY COURT.


Washington, July 27.-The precept
to the Schley court OF inquiry, which
the navy department had been prepar.
ing for several days, was given to the
public yesterday afternoon. 1t is a
document addressed to Admiral Dew.
ey, as president of the court, in.
structing him concerning the matters
to be investigated. While it directs
that the "entire matter" of Admiral
Schley's conduct during the operations
in West Indian waters shall be in.
vestigated, making use Of the very
words employed by Admiral Schley in
his letter to Secretary Long, it also
selects certain distinctive acts of the
rear admiral concerning the facts and
propriety of which it calls for particu-
lar investigation. These points cover
briefly Admiral Schley's alleged de-
lay with the flying squadron at Glen
fuegos, the slowness of his progress
toward Santiago after leaving Glen.
fuegos, the retrograde movement
toward Key West, the effectiveness
of the bombardment Of the Spanish
feet at the ranges used in the recon
noissance Of May 81, the state of the
coal supply on various ships when he
telegraphed the department that he
would return to Key West, the loop of
the Brooklyn at Santiago, the accu-
racy of his reports and matters re-
lating to the controversy between
him and Commander Hodgson over
the alleged colloquy which is said to
have taken place aboard the Brook
lyn when the loop was made during
the naval engagement off Santiago.
With the exception of the last two
counts, the others practically sum up
the criticisms of Admiral Schley's con-
duct made by Secretary Long to the
senate, which the secretary charac-
terized as Schley's reprehensible con-
duct" One of the important points
in the precept is the direction to the
court to report in its conclusions ''all
the pertinent facts which it may
deem to be established, together with
its opinion and recommendations in
the premises
