LANCASTER New ERA. Noy. Is, 1902.


There are always some dealers who
tell tale of dullness But they are not
always the same men. When they make
a good sale themselves, then everything
is lovely, and the market is all right.
But if no wholesale customer comes
for several weeks, then things are very
dull, nothing at all doing" until the next
good customer comes along. And SO it
goes on from January to Christmas; but
when these same complainant5 sum up
their years operations they discover
they have sold as much as the average
years, and perhaps little more, SO that,
after all, there was nothing serious to
grumble about. The present week was
the kind alluded to above. Dull, most
of them said, but the aggregate was all
right, after ALL The following sales have
been reported: NJ. Rosenthal sold 200cs
of 1900 goods; Samuel Siesel sold 212cs
of 1901 goods; B. F. Good sold 668cs and
bought 335cs; Amos McAllister. sold Tics
and j. Ell. Bomberger sold 125cs; in all,
1557cs. For the corresponding week of
last year 932cs were sold.
There has been great deal Of busi-
ness done in the new crop in the north
ern and northwestern portions of the
county. A large concern, that was
among the earliest il the field, has again
been at work, and large acreage has
recently been added to its already large
purchases. Other packers who had
closed out their old packings are also at
work, and large amount Of goods has
been lifted. Those who have been hold
ing off until now will soon have to go to
work if they want any of the goods, or
do without them altogether.

About sixty cigar manufacturers in
the stogie district of Pennsylvania have
entered into combine and will distri-
butte their product through common
medium. 1t is hoped that by placing
the business in a central management
competition will not be so strongly felt.
1t is reported that options have been
taken on other large factories that later
will come under the control Of this COM
bine. Mr. S. L. Johns is said to be the
leading spirit in the movementsthat may
eventually band together the thousand
shops through Pennsylvania.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22. 1902.

NEW YORK, NOV. ZZ, lSUZ.
Barring the general complaint that
there is no more profit in the leaf trade,
the volume of business is as satisfactory
as it can possibly be a. this time of the
season. In fact it would require the
overhauling of the record of many years
before the volume of business would be
equalled for this time of the year. By
the lack of profit is meant the profit of
former years, of gone days. when the
volume of business did not amount to
half it's present size, and when the cigar
manufacturer realized inordinate profits
too, and when the tobacco farmer did
not get half of what he is getting now
for his crop. But there is no cigar leaf
being sold without profit and there is
absolutely no necessity for it, because
every pound of cigar leaf is bound to be
absorbed. The market is active, selling
steadily small quantities for immediate
needs. And while it is impossible to
to keep record for stirring reports of
these small quantities, the aggregate ex
ceeds the average business of former
years. Nor is any type or grade being
neglected. While preference is being
shown for some, like the 1900 Wisconsin,
when it cannot be got or the price is for
bidding the buyer seeks the next best
thing for substitute. 1t is the same
with domestic wrapper leaf. Anything

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The last few weeks have been utilized
to large extent in the removal of the
tobacco from the poles and stripping OF
it, so now it is largely in the bundle, aud
the grower knows the ins and outs of his
crop. IL any are go unfortunate as to
have the crop injured by pole burn, it is
always good policy to carefully remove
it. either in hands or bundles, so the crop
you offer for sale shall be clean and
merchantable. Kindly recollect that
this is your loss. We sincerely hope that
an increased number of growers will as
sort and pack their own crops, or have
some one do it for them, as there are
many that have every facility to do the
work, and are also skilled in selling at
better prices than the ordinary farmer
"dares" to ask. It is obvious to all that
the growers in Connecticut obtain for
the same quality of goods from three to
six cents pound more than the general
run of our growers in Massachusetts,.

In Also Booming,

San Francisco. Nov. A.-The most un-
precedented activity which marked the
closing Of the local grain market on Sat-
urday continued to-day.
Wheat and barley advanced several
points, eclipsing the best prices which have
obtained since 1888. May wheat opened at
81. per GENITAL. and the clamorous demand
from the bears quickly rushed the price TO
$143A, little more than s21sc per bushel
December scored an even greater advance
at the opening. the first quotation being
1913. The bulls were in complete control
OF the situation. The Australian demand
continues imperative and freights are drag
gtng at bottom prices.
Barley shared with wheat the attention
OF the brokers. and a strong demand for
the cash article sent the futures upward.
and December made an advance Of &c over
Saturdays close May jumped cents.
The advance is attributed to the scarcitv
OF cash barley and the large demand for
home consumption. At the afternoon ses-
sion December closed at N.42x and Nav
went to 81. .4sN. Barley advanced and closed
strong at $1.2Sh for December and 81 80 for
May.

18th st. and Pennsylvania Ave.


Washington, Nov. 24.-It is probable that
the st. Louis Worlds Fair will be the last
opportunity for witnessing the American
Indians assembled in picturesque native
costumes. and following their aboriginal
pursuits The Government officials are
growing averse to exhibitions of this kind,
holding that it Is not beneficial to the In
dams
Commissioner Jones of the Indian Affairs
Bureau. speaking of this matter, said:
i realize that the people at large are
only interested in the education of the In
dian for civilization; they are curious about
his life and habits in his wild state. They
want to see foot races. fire dances, indian
games and that sort of thing. and Will not
care to look at him unless he is wrapped in
q blanket and decked out with paint and
feathers. They overlook the fact that the
American Indian of their fancy does not
exist any more.
1t has been the experience of the depart-
ment that these exhibitions work a great
deal OF harm to the Indians. Take a gang
OF bucks who have been forced to work ana
dress like white men and place them on
dress parade for six months and they are
utterly worthless for months to come. No
living creature loves admiral ton more than
the Indian, and 1t ruins him to pose before
crowds. who give him money and buy his
and make lion of him. This
was our experience with the Indians at
Omaha and Buffalo. They become vain of
the very things We have been trying to GET
them to abandon
