THE LUCANIA TESTS OF WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHY.

The details Of the experiment with
wireless telegraphy in which messages
were sent and received between Nam
tucket station and the incoming Luz
cania while the big Cunarder was hun
dreds of miles out at sea prove beyond
Qestion the prachcability of the Mar
conf system. While some of the mes
sages were unintelligible, this is
. matter of mere detail. The
obstacles are known and will be
overcome. The important fact is
established that communication can
be made and messages sent and an
swered between the shore and a ship
at sea, although the earth itself inter-
poses its curve between the transmit
ting and the receiving instruments.
Marconi's representative on board
the Lucania began to search" the at
mosphere for the magnetic signals on
the vessels approach to the American
shore. He found them while the ocean
flyer was yet 287 miles from port. Ow-
ing to electrical disturbances messages
going both ways were delayed and in
distinct, but enough was done to estab-
lish beyond dispute that wireless tel
egraphy is an accomplished fact in a
field that will very rapidly broaden.
1t is entirely safe to say that ere long
the ocean yoyager need never be out
Of touch with home and friends and
business. To the man seeking rest and
freedom from business care in the dis
traction Of an ocean voyage, however,
this may not be an unmixed blessing.
From 6 o'clock Friday evening until
after Saturday morning communica-
zion was maintained between the Luz
eania and the Nantucket shoals light
ship.
The same disturbance that Injured
the service caused further delays be-
tween the lightship and the station on
the Massachusetts shore. For these
reasons messages we're late in reaching
the Lucania. and agafn the messages
from the passengers to friends ashore
were so delayed that they were not de-
0veTed until Saturday morning. But

they were delivered before the Lucania
reached quarantine, which proves the
practical success Of the test. One mes
sage sent by Canada's postmaster gem
eral, William Mulock, TO Sir Wilfrid
Lauffer, the Premier, reads:
The New York Herald having installed
the Msrconi system on the Lucania ana
on the Massachusetts coast | avail fnyselt
of their courteous invitation to telegraph
you by way of illustration of the working
of the system. The Lucania Is about ~
miles from shore. / am now in the tele-
graph operating room on board ship. ana
messages TO and from shore are passing
with as much accuracy as between the
land offices. / expect to reach New YORK
Saturday morning. and leave SATURDAY
night for Toronto All well.
This was one of several messages
that came to the shore from the ship
far out at sea clear and distinct.
To-day this latest development OF
electrical energy is regarded as a mar
vel; few years ago 1t would have been
laughed at as unacy; less than CEN
fury ago Marconl would have run SER
ious chances In Massachusetts, off
whose shore this test was made, of be-
ing burned at the stake as witch.

VIRoQUA, WIS.,, August IA, 1901.

A goodly number of foreign tobacco
men have been industriously securing
the tobacco sections of this county, and
to listen to much of their comment one
would be led to believe there are few
crops worth securing in the territory.
They declare that they have little inten-
tion of making purchases in the field,
and we are not advised that any have
been bought. Farmers do not appear
disposed to sell. That tobacco culture
is rapidly spreading east of Viroqua,
where little has been grown in the past,
was demonstrated to the writer in
recent drive to LaFarge. Nearly every
farmer on the direct road to that place
has more or less of the growing weed.
There are some fine crops and many
light ones. Between Westby and Viro-
qua there are few that may be termed
bad crops. Many of the light and un-
even fields throughout the county will
be improved with showers and a long
season of growing weather A great
many have commenced to harvest and
shed their tobacco and the work will be
quite universal by the middle of next
week.-Censor.

Baldwinsville, N. Y.

There is but little activity at the ware
houses here. Albert Calm of New York,
who represents Elias Bach & Son, has
been picking up few 1900 crops, having
bought about 100 cases during the past
few days, the prices paid being about 10
or IL cents Among the crops bought
were those of w. F. Fenner Ties, Orrin
Sweeting 10cs, Frank johnson Tics,
Adelbert Powell, Henry Kraft, Emmett
Trapp. The growing crop has improved
greatly during the past week and many
of the growers are making preparations
to harvest it. e. e. Wells cut about %
an acre on Tuesday and has about the
same amount ripe enough to cut today.
Quite few crops will be ready for cur
ing next week, and with no hail or heavy
winds, by the end of the week consid-
cradle amount of the growing crop will
be safely housed Gazette.

new Connecticut Broad leaf, as we'll as
Havana Seed, have changed hands dur
ing the past week at prices which, if as
given privately, speak volumes for the
merits of the goods. Despite the fact
that the trade searchlight has been
turned on the 1900 crop, some old tobac-
co is moving, and the prices on such
goods are firm. The growing Wisconsin
crop is now generally conceded to be a
failure SO far as good seryiceable tobac-
cos are concerned

New York.
New YORK, August II, 1901

AS the trade is still busy sampling the
new crops, no active market can be ex-
pected. Buyers are waiting to inspect
the samples and big business is in view,
at least of such types as are for sale. For
not every crop will be ready for immedi-
ate disposal. Wisconsin, for example,
will be kept back to large extent, as
holders are specializing for larger profit
by withholding it for the present. Meth
er are all the filler crops ready to be alb
sorbed. The first samples to make their
appearance will be those of the New
England crop, but buyers will find prices
probably higher than expected. For the
crop has been already depleted to con-
siderable extent by the quantity of
force-sweated sold during the winter and
spring. The bone of contention will be
the seconds, most of which have assumed
the designation of light wrappers and
will under the new classification COM
mand an adequate price. And for what
used to be binders, but has advanced
now to the higher appellation of seconds,
market price of between % cents and
30 cents seems to nave been established.
The Sumatra market is fair, but not
brisk. Sales are steady, but not in large,
lots and prices are not too stiff. About
300 bales changed hands during the week.
In the Havana market trade is some
what backward. Some very large ship
ments arrived during the week from
Cuba.-Journal.

oft-repeated phrase, business in this line
is moving along "in the even tenor of its
way" While the majority of sales are of
small proportions, transactions of from
80 to 100 bales are not so uncommon as
to cause sensation in the market. No
doubt if the sales could be completely
and accurately aggregated, the volume
of business for the week would prove to
be larger than the individual dealer sur
misses.

characterized this market for few weeks

over considerable tobacco will have
changed hands.-Leaf.

Lancaster.
LANCASTER NEW ERA, Aug. 13, 1901.


Several pretty stiff sales during the
past week have put some life and more
expectation into the trade. The reported
good condition of last years crop wher-
ever it has been examined leads to the
hope that it will find market without
much delay. In view of the new crop,
which is already beginning to be put
into the barns, this is cheering sign,
and it is hoped will not prove disappoint-
ing. The sales that have been brought
to our notice are 75Ocs sold by M. M. Fry
and 677cs bought by the same packer,
and 25Ocs of old goods sold by John d.
Skiles; in all, 1,677 cases. For the cor
responding week of last year the sales
were 1872 cases.
Naturally the greatest attention is at
present given to the growing crop Con-
siderable Havana seed has been cut,
while the broadleaf is doing it's utmost
to overtake it's earlier relative. The
weather continues to be very favorable.
Showers have come along every few days
with warm days and nights between, SO
that the plants have had nothing to do
but grow and grow. The worms con
tinue to be numerous, and nothing buE
eternal vigilence can keep them under.
AS short tobacco is in demand from the
Pennsylvania fields, and as it is going to
be long instead of short, the question is
what the trade will do with it.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS.,. August %, 1901.
The opening of the market for the new
crop is the most important new feature
of the week. The American Cigar Co.
have large force of buyers out and
after cleaning up a new section in the
northern part of the state have trans
ferred their field of operations to Vernon
and Crawford counties where some lively
riding is now being done. The most
promising fields are being contracted for
at from 9 to IA cents. 1t is reported that
in order to induce growers to accept even
these figures contracts are so erased and
amended that the chances in curing are
mainly assumed by the buyer. A good
many firms are represented in the field
though the bulk of the buying is credit
ed to the big tobacco trust, and while
the rush is on definite figures are unat
tainable. One thing seems certain, the
growers are to be congratulated on re-
ceiving the biggest prices for the poorest
tobacco ever grown in Wisconsin.
But little is reported doing in cured
leaf. F. H. Pease & Son have sold 2O0cs
of '99 and 1900 to L. B. Carle & Son who
also purchased ICES lot of '99 of George
Wentworth this week. Sampling of the
1900 packings is commencing, T. b.
Earle having started on the big Bekke-
dal purchase this week.
Recent rains have improved the out
look for the later fields wonderfully and
the harvest of the early set tobacco is
now we'll started in most sections.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 500cs from this market for the
week past. Since last report 35Ocs of
| cigar leaf were exported from New York.

M1AM1sBURe, O., Aug. is, 1901.

Fewer sales of the 1900 crop are re-
ported at present, perhaps on account of
the scarcity of desirable lots and the
higher prices asked for them. Rumor
has it that in several instances improved
prices have been realized, but no au-
thentic confederation has come to our
notice.
Buyers are persistent in their efforts
to contract the growing crop, and occa-
sionally they meet with success, though
as rule farmers decline to contract
their crops this early in the season, be-
ing especially suspicious of strange or
new buyers and questionably worded
contracts. 1t is reported from Brook,
vile that buyers are offering 12c through
without success. =. r..
The drouth is still very much in evi-
dence, and the outlook for a short yield
is promising. Worms are not so trouble
some now as formerly.-News.

JANEsvILLE, WIS, Aug. 16, 1901.

The tobacco seems 70 be making a lit
tie progress, even under the most adverse
circumstances. Local showers have
helped the plants somewhat, but the
general condition is far from satisfactory
and not very encouraging.
Only frequent rains and a very late
fall can bring along the late crops to ma
turity, but these, under possible condi-
tions, may make the best tobacco. Cool
er nights and heavy dews have helped
the crop in a limited way Some crops
have been topped and look fairly we'll.
The harvest is now on. At Clinton
Geo. Ell. Florida commenced filling his
shed Wednesday. His nine acre field
will probably average two-thirds of a
crop.-Farm and Home.

WOODWORKERS MEET:
ENLARGE MEMBERSHIP.

The woodworkers of Rock Island
met at the Industrial home last eve
ming to promote a more perfect or
ganization of the craft, the principal
spesker being E. D. Mulcahey, of
Detroit, president of the National
Woodworkers' association. No action
was taken, but another meeting was
called for next Saturday evening at
the same place.
President Mulcahey has been in the
tri-cities for the last two weeks and
is working to promote separate or
ganizations in each of the towns. He
has already organized union in Mo-
line which promises to become very
strong. The organizing of Daven-
port and Moline will take number
from the Rock Island union and an
effort is being made to recruit their
ranks from shops not now unionized.
