NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 1901.


The market the past week did not dis
tinguish itself by any extraordinary ac-
tivity. A quiet routine business was
done, the jobbing trade participating in
it perhaps to a larger extent than pack
ers and importers. That the jobbing
trade is fairly active proves that the
smaller and middle-sized factories are
plodding along successfully. The gen
eral trade would perhaps be more active
if the market had to offer in sufficient
quantities what is in demand and at
more suitable prices. But the stock be-
ing limited, holders naturally hang on to
it for an advance, which they are bound
to get. About 1900 cases of all types
were disposed Of
The Sumatra market is holding it's own
satisfactorily. Factories being short of
wrappers have had to take recourse to
the Sumatra whether they wish to or
not. Sumatra is therefore selling freely.
This years importations seem to meet
both in price and looks the general de-
mand. Sales for the week about $50
bales.
Quite an improvement is noticeable in
the Havana market and particularly in
the increased demand for Remedies. The
cheapening of the cigar by eliminating
entirely the Havana from it does not
seem to have been received with the
favor anticipated. The consumer pre-
fers rather to pay SC straight for cigar
with little Havana in it than to get
seven or eight for quarter without any.
Besides there is no expectation that the
new Remedies will be in a condition to
be worked for many months to come.
Hence some skirmishing has heen going
on to lay in sufficient supply of old
Remedies. Prices are still rather low,
but they are stiffening. Sales for the
week about 1000 bales. Factory vegas
have, of course, steady sale.-Journal.

For the past week the conditions in
the growing districts have continued as
for some time past-dry and COOL most
unfavorable weather for handling or in
specting crops in the sheds. Connecti-
cut, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other fields
have had the same grievances and hence
but little in the way of buying has been
done in any of the producing localities.
The rain of Monday and Tuesday put
the leaf in condition TO handle, and some
has already been taken from the poles.
Several buyers, who have bought in
the bundle, wish The Leader to state
that they would like the growers to take
from the poles at this time only such
quantity as is necessary to give them
something to do. If the leaf is allowed
to go into case or condition a second
time-owing to the extreme dry weather
the color and quality are likely to be
much improved.
Henry Muller has been riding with F.
M. Butler. He bought Lawrence Sen
nett's new at 13c in the bundle or he
may take 15c assorted as he elects.
Lewis Wright sold for 12c in the bundle.
Mr.. Muller also bought Patrick Sloans
1900 crop, 9 cases, and Michael Sloan's
l9 cases at lie.
The American Cigar Co. has bought
the following crops of 1901 in the past
few days: Orie Dennie IA S15c, Thomas
Ruff IA Sc, j. G. Mcdonald IA &c, Memo
Osborne 9a Sc, Charles Hudson IA Sc, Ga
10c, Tabor & Schenck Ia Sc, S. I'll. Far
rington Aga 1Oc. Harvey Lilly has sold
at p. t. Some growers think their crops
will not weigh heavy this year, but claim
the quality is excellert.-Leader.

JANEsvILLE, Wis, Nov. Is. 1901.

Buying of the 1901 has almost entirely
ceased in all sections owing to the dry
ness of the hanging tobacco, which does
not permit of an examination. The ad-
vent of casing weather, no doubt, will
start out several buyers.
Yesterday the Gazette of this city said:
"The present crop as whole will be a
filler crop, as the best of the tobacco is
short and the leaves will not average
over Is to 20 inches. The leaves are also
heavy and gummy, and make good fill
er and will bring filler prices"
We take exceptions to the above, for
several reasons. First, the crop is not
filler crop, but contains liberal portion
of serviceable binders. Second, the to-
bacco is not all short, as much of it is
long as in the average season, with good,
thin texture; and third, the tobacco will
not all have to be sold for filler prices,
as few crops in this section of the state
have already been sold at 10 to 12c in
the bundle, which are pretty good filler
prices.-Farm and Home.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Nov. %, 1901

EDGERTON, WIS.,, NOV. ZZ, l9U1.
The situation in local tobacco markets
remain unchanged as regarding the
movement of the new crop. A few crops
have been bought of late in the vicinity
of Brodhead and Orfordville by repre-
sentatives of the American Co. at from
S&2 to 10&2c for bundle delivery, but
generally speaking buyers are awaiting
casing weather in order to examine the
crop.
Old leaf is moving quite freely in local
markets as we'll as among the eastern
holders. A number of out of town deal
ers have been in the market during the
week and the following transactions have
come to notice: The O'Brien packing at
GAINESVILLE, 6SOcs, has been sold to F. S.
Baines; A. L. Fisher & Son sold 235cs to
Schroeder & Reiss, Chicago dealers; A.
n. Jones sold 575cs to an eastern dealer
and two 100cs lots to manufacturers; FL.
G. Merrill & Go. sold 244cs to L. B. Carle
& Son, and George Decker sold Goes to
Canadian dealer, all of the 1900 crop.
Dealers report they are overrun in re-
quests for samples of old stock but few
of them are able to comply owing to the
depletion of their stocks on hand. A
scarcity of cured goods is already be-
coming apparent in local markets.
The shipments out of storage in this
market for the week reach total of 500
cases, 10 car loads, to all points for the
week past. Since last report 1057cs of
cigar leaf were exported from New York.

Value of the Kindergarten.

The following statement is taken
from a list of printed statements of
principles of public schools of different
cities of America where the kinder
garten has been a recognized part of
the public school system for years:
Having been asked if there is any
difference in the age of those in the
grades who have had kindergarten
training and those who have not been
so fortunate, I have this year taken
some pains to see if there really is any
difference. find that the age of kin
dergarten trained children in every
grade is actually less than that of the
remainder of the class by few months,
until the eighth grade is reached,
where the difference is ten months, on
one whole school year. At first this
does not seem very much, but a yeal
at school is a great factor in the life Of
any STUDENT

Emporium Raided.

On Wednesday morning about 2:3C
o'clock two of Emporium's young
men noticed suspicious character
loafing around the corner of Walkers
store in such a manner as to cause
them to investigate. Surmising that
the chap was the burglars watch and
knowing there must be mere of them
and properly armed, which proved to
be correct, they hurriedly summoned
policeman Mundy and upon entering
the store found that the midnight
mechanics had entered at the rear
door and using sledge hammer had
knocked the knob from off the safe
door, having previously helped them
selves to several revolvers, some pock-
ct knives and razors, left the store
without attempting to force the door,
evidently the watch having notified
his "palls" they were liable to be
''pinched" and made for the Junction.
r. G. Dodson's drug store was also
visited and knives, pocket-books and
cigars taken.
Evidently the Walker store was the
last place visited for Webb Huff passed
four men in front ofthe Catholic church
while coming up town to hitch up the
bus for the 4:10 train. AS he passed
them they separated and allowed him
to pass, acting as though they were
suspicious of attack.
Policeman Mundy and G. A. Walker,
Jr., rapidly hurried to the Junction
when they learned four men had turn
ed up the Portage and taking a yard
engine went to Four Mile and walked
back to Emporium, expecting to meet
the burglars, but were not successful.
Evidently they secreted themselves
near town and will await more
favorable opportunity to ship their
plunder, or tap some more stores later
No doubt this is the SAM gang who
operate in the vicinity of Bradford and
from all accounts the authorities there
should easily capture them.
Emporium has been easy prey for
burglars and it is high time our Bor-
ough authorities should adopt some
plan to protect our business houses
from these frequent midnight calls.
We learn other places were visited
and attempts made to enter L.K. Hun
tington's store but James Earl, who
resides over the store, got up and
frightened them away.
Our town has been infested by
tramps and shaky looking specimens
during the past few days and it is high
time some stringent rules were adopt
ed to rid our Borough of these miser-
able specimens of humanity.

G. B. Howard & Company, owners
of about 80, 900 acres ofland in Shippen
township have contracted with Messrs.
Van Horn & Miller, practical diamond
drillers, to explore their lands, work to
commence in the very near future. 1t
is to be hoped that coal, clay, etc., will
be found in sufficient quantities to
warrant development. With good
railroad facilities, the Emporium &
Rich Valley railroad running through
the lands, it is to be hoped we may
have several new industries in that
section. Excellent fire clay exists in
large quantities and it is believed coal
in paying quantities.
