New YORK, August 20, 1902

The delegation of buyers which ar
rived last week has been added to by
later arrivals, and these out-of town peo-
pie have given considerable life to the
market this week. Reports of damage
which have been circulated now and
then have made dealers cautious, and
prospective purchasers show an inclina-
ton to look the stocks over very thor
oughly before making their selections.
Enough business has been done this
week, however, to make it certain that
the new goods will move readily. Some
packers have not sampled as yet, but all
who have their tobaccos ready are be-
ginning TO lower their stocks.
In the aggregate about 500 boxes of

.LoDI, Wis, August q, 1902.

Among the sales recently reported are
14cs of 1901 by T. B. Preston to Albert
Calm, representing Elias Bach & Son,
and 9cs of 1901 to John Baer of Lancas-
ter, Pa, representing Joseph Lederman
& Sons. The price paid is reported as 8
to 1OIc. Mr.. Preston still has 13cs to
sell. There have been few small ship
ments made from the local warehouses
and in the J. w. Upson warehouse ap-
praisers have been engaged in apprais-
ing the tobacco on hand. There are a
number of good looking growing crops
in this vicinity which will undoubtedly
command good prices, as the crop as
whole is below the average.-Gazette.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Aug. 19, 1902.


Their was not much activity in the To-
cal market during the past week, per-
haps owing to the squirt of the previous
week, to the absence of dealers on their
summer vacations or to the warm season
itself. Yet, considering all the circum-
stances, the volume Of trade has kept up
remarkably well during the entire sea-
son, up to the present time. In the ag-
gregate the volume of sales has been
fully up to the average, while the out
look for the rest of the year shows no
discouraging features. The transactions
reported to us are 169cs sold by Walter
S. Bare; SECS bought by P. L. Leaman
& Co.; 1S7cs sold by William Amer, and
1SScs sold by G. R. Martin: in all, 674cs.
For the corresponding week of last year.
the recorded sales were 229Ocs.
The writer made visit to the hail.
stricken district around Salunga, Ian
disville and the immediate vicinity.
Many fields of tobacco were found that
had been plowed under by their owners,
that being the only thing they were good
for. Many other fields were seen that
might as we'll have been turned under
also, as there was not single leaf Left In
merchantable condition. It was pfti-
able to see the loss sustained by the
farmers. Stems an inch or more in di-
ameter were cut off. In the locality Wis
tied, it is estimated that nearly or quite
1000 cases of fine tobacco were destroyed.
The tobacco has been making rapid
strides during the past ten days; that
which was not injured, we mean. Most
of it is in fine condition, healthy and as
clean as any crop seen in years. Worms,
heas and grasshoppers have not put in
their usual appearance, and broken out
and damaged leaves are rarely seen.
Cutting has begun pretty generally, al
though the amount put away SO far has
been small. 1t promises to be harvested
in excellent condition.

VIRoQUA, WIS, August 20, 1902.

A number of outside tobacco dealers
have been looking over the fields in Ver-
non county, and the Censor is advised
that limited number of contracts have
been closed for crops, prices varying
from s to 121a cents. Up to date there
seems to be no determined movement to
scoop in the entire crop while yet stand
ing in the field. The experience of both
buyer and seller last season is still fresh
in their minds. Last season the Ameri-
can Cigar Company forced the buying.
AS yet none of their representatives have
appeared on the scene.-Censor

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The force-sweated Connecticut Hava-
Ma wrappers are being sold continually
at prices that are studiously concealed
from the public. Presumably the prices
range from 80 to SO cents and then the
iobbers sell it from IS to 100 cents, posi-
oily more. Anyway it is moving off rap
idly, and thus materially reducing the
stock on hand, and as consequence
raising the price of the balance of the
crops. Aside from this, much Of the
New England tobacco held by packers is
really sold, and is never offered on the
market. So we are justified in saying
that good prices are in store for those
who have good leaf to offer. We hope
and trust hat unless they have a second
rate crop that they will not hastily make
any agreement to sell their crops at any
price they may be offered for it They
should remember the lessons taught
them the past two years, and every one
should be in readiness TO assort and pack
his own tobacco A grower, with whom
I am acquainted, sold his crop Of eight
acres for PIC recently, who could have
only got about or 10c last fall.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Sufield CT: Tobacco is being harvest
ed by one of our neighbors who was one
of the early settlers, while others were
engaged in topping" Aug. l6 our cor
respondent writes again: THE 80 acres
of tent tobacco owned by Olds, Whipple
& Pinney was seriously injured by the
storm and wind Monday evening, Aug.
IL, the cloth being torn from the frames.
Some estimate the loss at from $1,000 to
$4,000" Conway, Aug. Is: THE tobac-
co crop never looked better than it does
now; no green worms or grasshoppers,
SO the leaves are perfectly sound Some
have commenced harvesting, but the
most of them will begin this week."
Northampton, Aug. IS: Tobacco is look
ing well, but needs some warm weather
to make it mature 1t is free from dam
age by worms or hoppers. Cutting has
not commenced to any extent yet. The
weather has been quite cool."-Cultiva-
tor.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.
Rock County's Tobacco Crop.

We present herewith tobacco crop sta
tistics compiled by the county clerk from
figures gathered by the assessors of Rock
county. A comparison is made with the
growing crop of a year ago, and while it
is not claimed that the figures are accur-
ate, they are the most reliable statistics
that are gathered by the state.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1902-08-29

The U. S. lob. Journal has figured out
from the treasury statistics of imports
and exports of foreign leaf for the last
fiscal year, that 27,750 Eales of Sumatra
tobacco were consumed by the cigar
manufacturing industry the past twelve
manths. As our average annual con-
sumption of imported wrappers has been
between $4,000 and $4,000 bales, these
figures show an increased consumption
of about 1000 bales for the year. A like
if not larger, increase in the consump-
tion of Sumatra will be recorded during
the present fiscal year if our cigar indus
try does not default in it's present phe-
nomenal progress. For the conditions
for an increased consumption of Suma-
ira are even more favorable for the cur
rent fiscal year than they were for the
last. For there is a less quantity of suit
able domestic wrapper leaf in view for
the needs of our cigar industry now than
there was year ago at this time, and
the imports of Sumatra were smaller
and the stock on hand was likewise
somewhat smaller at the beginning of
the present fiscal year than it was at the
beginning of the last. If no reverses oc-
cur, between $4,000 and $4,000 bales of
Sumatra should be consumed during the
present fiscal year. There were 81 300
bales in bond July 1st and the first time
there has been a. the beginning of the
fiscal year less Sumatra on hand than
year.

It will be noted that the acreage re-
ported falls considerably under that of
recent years, being more than thousand
acres less than the crop of 1901 which
was 8,248 acres and in 1900, 1852 acres.
The town of Porter retains it's position
as the leading growing town, with 966
acres: next in line being Fulton and
Center, while Harmony, Johnstown and
Spring Valley each report more than 800
acres growing.

One or two Of the black hats were trim
med with plumes, but flowers ruled.
French hat in browns, had trimmings
Of rotten roses, and soft drapings of
chiffons underneath the brim with ribbon
in combination. .
A reseda, chrysa millennium braid was
made about small panels of lace, and the
trimmings were of punches OF Hawthorn
berries, in green's and browns.
Among the hats fashioned from the new
shoe-lace braid, was one in blue and
brown, the brim faced with design Of the
brown sewn into flower design, and a
wreath of hawthorn berries used for trim
ming.
The most unique things were the raisin
hats. One was made of maline and rubber
stems, braided, the shades being those of
the raisins. At one side were several
knots of double faced, two shaded, pine
apple ribbon, and a wreath of raisins in
two shades combined with grape leaves
circled the brim. The brim was faced
with maline embroidered in straw in COT
fee shades. The other raisin hat was
made of straw in grape shades, en-
bodying those of the Delaware, the NAL
voisse and the Plusard. The brim was
laced with a wide ribbon in lighter tints
of the same colors. The crown was en-
tirely of raisins and grape leaves.
The light we'll at the entrance of the
store was draped about with lilac edged
with white, and was hung with huge white
bells decorated with flowers. From the
top-center hung string of five bells be-
ginning with great bell of red roses and
ending with dainty white bell almost
covered with June roses. Each loop of
the drapery was fastened with a flower
bell. The hats shown in the arcade win
dow were enticing invitations for the
opening. The right window was given up
entirely to handsome hats, but in the left
window some exquisite gowns were dis
played on fashionable figures and the hats
were fitted to match the gowns.

DUNN WOULDN'T RUN
Spells All Plans to Give Him a Third
Term at Albert Lea.

Special to The Journal.
Albert Lea, Mimi, March 19.-The city
election is less than three weeks away
and the campaign is just beginning to
show some signs of life. Mayor Dunn is
serving his second term and while he was
away nominating petition was circu-
lated and filled by those who desired his
services for third term. Yesterday he
upset all calculations by having the pc
tition withdrawn, although he would have
been reelected without opposition. ="
1t is probable that H. A. Morgan, an
other prominent attorney, will be in
duced to run. For city treasurer there
are two candidates, G. B. Kellar and F. A.
Thompson. E. w. Knatvold and P. c.
Johnson are candidates for aldermen at
large and T. J. Wanek, who seeks a re-
election, and S. G. Thompson are candi-
dates for aldermen in the first ward. In
the other two wards there is but candi-
date in each, although there are likely
to be more before the close of the time
for filing petitions. The primary election
law was ignored and all nominations are
by petition.
The members of the Danish Baptist
church met Monday night to consider the
resignation Of their pastor, Rev. o. H.
