NEW Work. August 2, 1901.

The figures published in another place
of the output of our cigar industry dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80 last
stand ia glaring contrast with the alleg-
ed dullhess of the leaf market. Six bill
lions and half of cigars, big and little,
must have been made Of cigar leaf of
some kind; they must have consumed at
least hundred million pounds of tobac-
CO, and the bulk of these hundred mil
lion pounds must have been disposed of
by the leaf market. Of course it may be
dull now, for the beginning of August is
the worst part of the off season. Sampl-
ing of the new crop will begin next week
at the earliest and the stock of old leaf
is so reduced that large transactions can
not possibly be made in it.
The Sumatra market eased down some
what after the big sales of last week. The
trade was lively in smaller quantities, ag-
gregating about 200 bales.
The Havana market retains it's even
tenor. The demand, however, seems to
be more for the cheaper than for the
better grades, which latter command a
high and firm price. Sales for the week
about 1900 bales. s.-Journal

Quiet still reigns in the market and
nothing is being done in the warehouses,
the interest all heing centered in the
growing crop. The rain Sunday night
and the light showers on the following
days have made very decided improve
ment in the prospects of the 1901 crop.
E. E. Wells finished topping last week
and number of others have finished or
are engaged in that work The tobacco
worms are numerous and reports show
that they are causing a good deal of
trouble all through the section and much
time is necessarily being devoted to their
destruction. Outside of the damage oc-
casioned by the worms the outlook for a
successful crop in this section this year
is bright, the continued warm weather
having caused the plants to grow with
great rapidity.-Gazette.

Lancaster.
LANC AsTER New ERA, July 80, 1907.

The past week did not show up
as the previous one, but there was,
ertheless, a fair amount of business done.
A number of packers report having
transactions pending, the favorable out
come of which they are sanguine. There
is hardly doubt that the outlook is
growing brighter, and the further re-
ports that last years tobacco seems
likely to go through it's sweat without
damage is considered as good omen in,
trade circles generally. The transactions.
reported to US are 100 cases sold and 75
cases bought by A. H. Hershey & Co.,,
and 6l6 cases sold by M. M. Fry. The
sales for the corresponding week of last
year were 2,OO3 cases.
The weather during the past week III
this locality was everything the tobacco
farmers could desire. There were more
rains, some reaching, we believe, all over
the county. Along with them were both
cloudy skies and warm sunshine, and the
result has been that the plants have
made rapid headway. Topping has be-
come general all over the county, and
many fields are ripeuing to the harvest.
The greatest drawback at the present
moment seems to be the worms, which
are said to exceed all previous vista
tions in some localities. Nothing but
eternal vigilence will head them off.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The towns of Conway, Deerfield, Sun
derland and Montague were recently Wis
tied by thunder shower, with heavy
wind and large quantity of hail, caus-
ing much damage. This occurred Sun
day evening, July 21. The wind blew
over many trees and leveled crops of
corn, tobacco and onions. A few build
ings also were damaged. But the loss
falls more heavily on the growing crop of
tobacco. Where it was topped or about
large enough for topping the damage
was greater than where it was small, as
that will put out many more leaves so
there the damage is only partial. Very
many crops in all of these towns are
either wholly or partially damaged. The
damage is cIudely estimated to be from
$4,000 to $4,000. The path of the hail
was very wide, from 219 to miles, per-
haps more. Where the plants were blown
down men worked busily to straighteni it
up Fred l.. Whittemore of Sunderland,
who had 16 acres damaged, had 20 men
at work setting it up. He claims his loss
to be at least $4,000. If his loss is as
much as he claims, then [ think my esti-
mate far too low.
The crops under cloth are coming on
extremely we'll SO far Some of the Sum
atra is reported to have reached the

pieces are generally all topped, and har-
vesting will be in order in about twelve
days from Aug. l, perhaps sooner.

MIAMIsBURG, O., Aug. l 1901.

The local market for the 1901 crop is
buoyant. Deliveries during the week
have been frequent, and prices, while
ranging from 515c to &c through for
thinner and from SC to &c through for
seedleaf, have averaged close to the
higher figures. The prospect of short
crop this year on account of dry weather
has encouraged farmers to be more firm
in pricing the crop of last year
Although the extent to which the
growing crop of tobacco suffers from the
drouth is not near so great as with the
corn crop, nevertheless the crop is not
progressing as it should, and will be
short in consequence. Worms are null
tiplying to an alarming extent, and farm
ers are disregarding the caution against
spraying the plants with poisons. If
injured thereby, they will only have
themselves to blame.
Buyers have already begun to contract
the growing crop of 1901 in the field.
Operations are confined mainly to the
outskirts of the tobacco belt, in Drake,
Miami, Preble, Warren and Green
counties at 7c through for thinner and
sc through for seedleaf. 1t is reported
that no money is advanced as part pay
ment on the contract, in which case the
buyers may accept or reject as he elects.
Farmers should protect themselves from
such imposition by demanding part
payment in advance. Although the
present indications would favor a re-
markably short crop, it is still not too
late to develop an average yield if gen:
eral rains and favorable weather shoula
arrive.-News,
