SCHEDULE OF BIDS.
Recommendation Made Respecting
steam Boilers for Schools.


G. B. Coleman, the superintendent of re-
pairs of the engineer department. has sub
mitted to the District Commissioners
schedules of the bids for furnishing and
Installing sixteen steam boilers In eight
school buildings of the District Capt
Chester Harding. assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner. In forwarding the papers
recommends with the approval of Capt
Beach. that proposals for water tube boil
ers be not considered. as in his opinion the
conditions are not such to make boil
er5 OF this type desirable. He recon-
mends further that all bids for the boilers
in the Curtis School be rejected in view
of the probability of radical modification
of the conditions To permit the in
stallatiOn of the boilers in the basement
of an outhouse between the Curtis and
Addison schools. and the proposition that
both schools be heated from the same
plant. Capt. Harding concludes with the
recommendation that the work at the Cen
tral High School, the Garne and the Lin
coin schools be awarded to the Warren w
BlSgs Heating and Ventilating Company
the work on the Peabody and Henry
schools to the National Electrical Supply
company. and the work on the Force and
Jefferson schools to the Ellicott Machine
Company.

Claims Of American Citizens Against
Salvador.
CONSIDERED At STATE DEPARTMENT
Justice Of Sustaining Demands
Being Debated.
DETAILS OF THE COMPLAINTS

The Department of State is actively en-
gagged In negotiations with the government
OF Salvador, through Minister Zalyidar.
VINO Is assisted by Mr.. Corea, the Nicara-
guam minister respecting the adjustment
or some claims preferred by American
citlzens against the government of Saliva
oor. Solicitor Penf1eld Of the State De-
partment Is now giving consideration to
the matter, and If he decides that the
claims are meritorious, or at least that
tney require the action Of the United
states government to secure Justice IT ia
expected that the department will frame q
formal request directly to the government
OF Salvador for a settlement.
There are two distinct cases which tho
state Department Is now considering and
In each OF them American citizens have
requested that this government intervene
to demand the fulf1llment of certain al
iesed rights. One Of the cases involves
about $oOOooo; the other about 500, 900.
Conascation OF Dry Goods,
Ihe latter case. grows out Of the revolu-
ton In Salvador when the revolutionary
fcrces seized goods at one of the sinai,
towns. Among the conflscated articles was
stock Of dry goods owned by American
merchants. After the revolution the Saliva
oorian government appointed a claims trib-
unal to pass upon the losses It is claimed
on the part of Salvador that this particular
claim ought to have been presented to the
tribunal. But the claimants preferred to
appeal directly to the United States gov
ernment, and they therefore assigned their
interests to woman, who Is the nominal
claimant. before the State Department, The
chief question at issue Is whether this gov
ernment should take the matter I'D when
SaiVaaor mas named tribunal to pass
upon 1t.
Concession to Terminal Company.
The claim involving $500. 600 is much
more important. 1t grows out of the plans
Of an investment company to establish a
large port on the coast for the shipment of
coffee. concession was given by Saliva
dor by which the company was to improve
the harbor for commerce, build railroads
and bridges connecting 1t with the Interior
and In return was to have the right of
levying certain amount on each quintal

NEW YORK Apr. 81, 1901.

Still no animation in the market such
as usually comes with spring and as
should correspond to the activity of the
cigar industry. Buying is still done in
small parcels to satisfy the immediate
needs from hand to mouth. A few cases
of force -sweated wrapper leaf, of Wis
consin binder and odd filters are the
daily bill of fare of the market. If any
thing was apt to stir the market the past
week it was the arrival of the new Su-
matra from the first inscription, and it
took the trade by storm. BY general
consent there has never been raised
crop of Sumatra SO perfect in all. essen
tials as the one of which the first ship
ments have arrived. The leaf is thor
oughly ripe, matured to perfection and
ready for immediate use. 1t is even and
light in color, not yellowish and green
ish, but of the genuine light brown to-
bacco hue and feather-like in weight.
The condition of the Havana market
remains the same-active to some ,ex-
tent, but no rush. Factory vegas are in
chief demand because of the extension
of the clear Havana cigar industry, but
trading in such vegas is hampered by
the strict classification of the Apprais
er's Department. Good, clean, leafy
Remedies are selling freely and at good
price But good deal of trash also
finds consumption. Aggregate sales for
the week about 1900 bales.-Journal.

LANCASTER New ERA, Apr. %, 1901.
The home market for old leaf has re-
lapsed into it's former condition of ex-
treme dullness. But one packer could
be found who would admit having sold
more than a few case lots to manufact-
urers. The same tale was SO general
that there was no room to doubt it's cor
rectness.
We have to report an improvement in
the demand for new leaf. A good manv
packers were out during the week, and
all bought some, although none are
credited with having made large pur-
chases. Prices are down, and that ac-
counts for the increase in business.
Some has been bought as low as four
cents, while few extra good lots have
been sold at seven cents, and we have
been told of several cases where every
price under eight cents was refused.
We heard of number of farmers who,
dissatisfied with the existing prices and
condition of things, will put out less
than last year, and of a few who will
grow none at all.

EDGERToN, Wis, May 3, 1901.
The absorption of the remnants of last
seasons crop is steadily going on in most
of the growing sections, and buyers are
exhibiting disposition to clean up the
balance left in growers hands. The ex-
port grades are especially looked after
and are being rapidly gathered up at
prices that generally range from 4 to &c.
An occasional lot of better goods are
taken at prices heretofore quoted for as
sorted tobacco.
Mr.. T.. We'll of New York, has closed
some important deals with local packers
during the week, buying nearly 100Ocs of
new goods of Conway Bros. and a 5O0cs
packing of Hesgard at Orfordville, and
several lots of GAINESVILLE dealers.
Business in old leaf is generally in a
small way and the local market is be-
coming rather bare of desirable stock,
although packers are receiving many in
quiries for samples. L. B. Carle q Son
sold couple hundred cases and G. l..
Culton 6Ocs lot for the week.
The extreme warm weather of the
| week has started the bundle tobacco into
sweating and where it has warmed up
the leaf is looking exceedingly fine. No
indications of the much dreaded black
rot is to be found.
The late purchased tobacco is still be-
| ing delivered and several of the packers
| have work in sight for some weeks yet
The new plant beds are suffering fol-
rain and will require constant watering
to bring them along.
The shipments out Of storage reach
20 carloads, 1OO0cs, for the week past
from this station to all points. Since
last report 650cs of cigar leaf were ex
| ported from New York.

There has been no change in local mar

sections is nearly gone. Prices remain
about the same as have been quoted for
several weeks past.
In old goods transactions are confined
to small lots.

Everything is quiet in the tobacco dis

except those OF the Connecticut seed
leaf, and these are necessarily confined

of the crops is quite limited, and we
have only sort of minimum and maxi

quality, probably averaging not far from

New YORK, Apr. "a, 1901.

1t would seem that everything, even
the weather, is working against the ex.
pected renewal OF activity in the domes-
tic leaf market With the enormous
production of cigars that is steadily go
ing on, it is difficult to understand the
apathy displayed by manufacturers so
far as the leaf market is concerned.
There are some good, serviceable lots of
old tobacco waiting for purchasers, and
just why they are not being more anxious
ly looked for is a matter which puzzles
the trade. Business during the past
week has been hopelessly dull.
Sumatra. a.-The feature in the Sumatra
market during the past week was the ex-
ceptionally strong inquiry for samples
and samples bales of the new goods. A
number of sales, too, have been put
through in lots ranging from 10 to so
bales. A manufacturer who purchased
one lot of about thirty bales said: II am
more than satisfied with the new Suma-
ira; that is, with what | have seen of it.
The tobacco [ bought is as fine lot as I
have ever handled-and have been cut
ting up Sumatra for fifteen years. Be-
sides being an enormous yielder, the
combustion and colors are as near per-
fection as il is possible to get them in
tobacco A slight improvement is also
noticeable in old goods.
Havana. Business from western
points have fallen off considerably this
week. This, however, is partly accounted
for by the near approach of convention
week, during which many out-of- town
jobbers expect to visit New York market.
Local inquiry continues quite strong,
and, taking the unfavorable weather
into consideration, trading has been fair
ly satisfactory. The demand runs about
even on all kinds of tobacco, and some
thing over 1000 bales have changed
hands.-Leaf.
