Travel in the old times, of which
Mrs. Alice MnrSe Earle writes in
Stage Coach and Tavern Days" may
have been somewhat less comfortable
than it is at present, but the leisurcly
pace and close quarters of the coach
afforded opportunities for the study Of
human nature not excclled by those of
the palace car
Nor was journey lacking in Incl.
dent. There was always the posi-
bility OF being upset, Of being held up,
OF getting stuck in the mud, and of
being drowned in fording a stream.
AS matter Of fact, accidents were
rare after the days of turnpikcs, and
the driver who had driven 300 days
year for thirty five years without an
accident was not great exception.
There was, however, tie constant
necessity Of trimming and balancing
the coach to prevent it from over.

abounded. and che driver frequently
called out, Now, gentlemen, to the
right" Upon which al the passea-
gers stretched their bodies half way
out of the carriage to balance on that
side, and "Now, gentlemen, to the
left!' and so IN.
Sometimes one Of the passengers
"spelled" the driver, and as an in
stance Of where "a son Of Neptune
and OF Mars also was ON board, and
adapted the technical language of
these professions to the different
movements of the coach. When the
coach reeled &c eno side lie would call,
"To the right and left and cover your
fanks-whiz!" and when they passed
stream lie would sing out, "By the

movements Of heaving the lead.
Occasionally he flow of merriment
and good humor, to which both driver
and passengers contributed, was alb
ruptly checked. A certain old vete-
ran was driving once from Dover, N.
H., to Haverhill, Mass. During the
spring months the roads were often in
bad condition, and six horses, and
sometimes ten, were needed to draw
the coach.
In Epping, n. H., was particular
ly hard place, locally known as the
"soap mine" Through this mine Of
mud the driver helped to guide his
six. But the coach was heavily load
ed, and in spite Of the efforts of the
skillful driver the team was soon fast
in the mud, the wheels settling to the
hubs.
All attempts Of the horses were in
vain. TIE driver finally got down
from his seat, opened the coach door,
made known to the passengers the
condition Of things, and politely asked
them to get ont and tighten the load.
This they all positively refused to Go;
they had paid their fares and did not
think it their duty to get out in the
mud.

quietly closing the door, he seated
himself by the roadside.
In few moments the passengers
asked:
"What are you doing?"
"1'm waiting till the mud dries up"
the driver replied: "The horses can
not draw the load, so that is the only
thing I can do"
1t is perhaps needless to add that
he did not wait till the mud dried up.

We have no improvement to report in
the home market. A tour of many of
the principal packing establishments re-
vealed condition of duliness almost
without parallel There seems to be
nothing doing and the proprietors were
sitting around discussing and recalling,
the old time when tobacco was all wrap
pers and the profits big, and longing FOR
their return At the same time every
body appears to be in reasonably
cheerful mood, and confidently awaiting.
the turn in the lane, which they feel as
sured will come before long, The sales
that were made were confined exclusive
ly to the jobbers and to small lots need
ed for immediate consumption,
The purchasers of 1900 goods have ap;
parently as much of the crop as they
want for the present. The very few
sales that are heard OF are either by
country manufacturers or SONS country
packer who has not yet quite as AAseh
as he wants. The new year may DHs
more life in the dealings.
Everybody seems to be hopeful that
better days are at hand. Even the men
who are today waiting for customers
have confidence the opening of the new
year also means better time for the
trade at large.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 1901.

The new year opened fairly active in
the leaf market. Not only were quite
number of back orders to be filled, but
there was also general demand for all
types of leaf for immediate consumption.
Of course the transactions did not in
volve large volumes, but they are indi-
cations of steady business The do
mestic wrapper leaf stock being at the
lowest ebb, the force sweated goods of
the 1900 crops had to furnish the supply.
Wisconsin is next in demand for binder
purposes, and Zimmer's Pennsylvania
and Onondaga supplied the filler demand.
The transactions of all kinds cleared off
about 1900 cases. But the complaint re-
mains about the small margin of profit.
No matter how much the stock on hand
is shrinking, it cannot command high
er than the current market price.
For the Sumatra it was kind of an
off week
In Havana leaf, however, the market
remains as brisk as before. Factory
vegas have the first call when they can
be supplied and fancy prices are being
paid for available wrapper leaf. But
Remedies are also in strong and steady
demand and fetch dollar and over for
large lots.
The transactions of Havana leaf for
the week aggregated about 2OOO. bales,
400 bales of which were sold in bulk by
one firm.-Journal.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Jan. Ii, 1901. =
The buying of the new crop is receiv-
ing but little attention of late. Scatter
ing sales are being made by few dealers
riding the growing districts, but the
trading is attended by quiet methods
and generally at prices shaded from the
earlier sales. The bulk of recent pur-
chases do not rise above the 7 cent mark
for wrapper and binder grades while a
little picking at the export grades is 60
ing on at less figures.
A moderate demand for old leaf con-
tinues though no large transactions are
reported.
Tobacco is coming to the warehouses
now in liberal quantities and the deliv-
cries are keeping on hand full stocks OF
bundle goods for present needs. An oc-
casional rejection is made by packers on
account of damage, but more frequently
a new agreement is made to permit the
tobacco being handled over the sorting
tables before complete settlement is
made.
The case weather early in the week
did not continue long enough to bring
down the hanging leaf from the sheds.
The shipments out of storage reach
16 car loads, 500 cases, from this station
to all points for the week past. Since
last report 1450cs of cigar leaf were ex-
ported fromNew York.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market,


The sales of the 1900 crop of tobacco
in the valley have almost entirely ceased.
AS rule, the late sales have been at
low rates. Many growers who were
holding good crops, and could see no
good reason for the depression in prices.
have placed their crops in the hands of
good packers, to- be assorted packed,
force sweated and sold on growers ac-
counts. This is probably the best course
to pursue. At North Hatfield we hear
that b. Morton q Son are packing on
commission. At East Whately L. T.
Graves is engaged In this work, and we
hear that Y. d. Bardwell and VIZ.
Waite have each about four tons assort-
ed and In their excellent force sweating
rooms. At South Deerfield w. w. San
derson is also we'll fitted to do al this
KIND OF business, except the force sweat
ing. Probably many of these parties
have some connection with New York
houses, SO where those parties who hold
crops that are all right but have no ia
cllltles for asserting and packing, the
best course is to have it assorted by
some one who has good reputation.
The new method of sweating is as yet
in it's infancy in this valley, but has been
In use in Florida, where some of the Su-
matra has been sold as high as s4 per
10, and was equal to any brought from
Sumatra, while the Cuban variety sold
as high as 45c for filters, and the wrap
pers for from SOC to So per lb. The Su-
matra is grown under cloth shade. A
New York company has been engaged in
planting tobacco in Gadsden county,
Fla, and have increased the planting to
some 600 acres, under shade. In conse.

The packing of the new crop has pro-
ceeded far enough to determine that the
loss to growers from shed damaged is the
most extensive of any season since the
1882 crop. The shed burn of that year
was a serious damage, but never since
then has any defect happened to the
curing of the crop of much moment un-
til last season. Stem rot has been COM
paratively an unknown damage in cased
Wisconsin leaf for long time until this
year, but the weather during the early
portion of the curing season was par
ticularly favorable to this injury and the
crowding of sheds in the hurry and rush
of harvest helped along the damage.
It is now quite generally conceded that
the loss to the grower from all causes
will range from 10 to % per cent. of the
crop, while in exceptioned cases the
damage will far exceed that amount
Even after good leaf has been thrown
out by the grower at stripping, the ware
house reflections at the sorting tables run
up we'll towards the figures above quot
ed. What shortage results from wet or
high case leaf is most generally due to
the carelessness of the grower, but the
other deductions relate to causes over
which the farmer had little control. II
is so rare that Wisconsin growers have

The first week of the New Year has
not been very active one as far as buy
ing in this section is concerned, still
there is some buying done in other parts
of the state. A few firms are buying at
prices ranging from 5 to TIC. in the
bundle.
Several crops of export grades have
been picked up this week at an average
of cents. Should the usual January
thaw case up tobacco again, doubtless
there would be greater activity all along
the line.
In old goods our market has hardly
recovered it's ante holiday activity. G..
