WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,
EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. %. Is

EDGERTON, WIS.,, req. 70. lSUZ.
There is evidently disposition in
some localities to grant concession in
the price asked by growers for their to
bacco, which is leading to a more gener-
Gus movement of the crop, as evidenced
by the sales recorded this week. While
the buying by no means approaches the
usual conditions of lively market there
is reason to believe that dealers will
become more active as the prices de-
manded come near their ideas of what
they feel warranted in paying. AS the
spring months approach growers have
always been willing to grant these con-
cessions rather than sort and pack their
tobacco, and yet good many farmers
are arranging to assort and pack their
crops upon the farms or hire it done at
local warehouses.

Work has commenced on the New
England tobacco brought into the state
which is being closely graded and as
carefully assorted as is done in the east,
requiring an unusual amount of pains
taking labor.
The market for old goods has develop
ed no new features and only moderate
amount of business is recorded. Andrew
Jenson sold 200cs lot of export grades
and E. G. Hopkins car load of '99 leaf
The shipments out of storage from
this market reach total Of II car loads.
$40 cases, to all points for the week past.
Since last report 1850 cases of cigar leaf
were exported from New York.

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Feb. q, 1902.

There is but little change in local to-
bacco market conditions. A<half dozen
local buyers are riding the country but
make but few purchases. The buyers
and farmers do not get together regard
ing prices. The buyers pay current
prices for such of the tobacco as suits
their fancy but they claim that much of
the tobacco grown in this section is fit
only for export, and must be bought for
export prices, from to cents. Many
of the farmers do not seem willing to &C
cept these figures and so sales are few
and far between.
A disturbing element in the export
market is the fact that Brazil grew an
unusually large and good crop last year
which enters into competition with our
tobacco in foreign markets. This is one
reason why local dealers are slow in TAX
ing hold of the cheaper grades of last
years growth. Farm and Home

Lancaster:

LANCASTER New ERA. Feb Is, 1902.
The local market seems to partake of
the features which are to be found In
those OF the larger marts in the big cities.
There is not much doing in cased goods.
There are still plenty OF goods on hand,
in the aggregate, but, at the same timey
they have been so thinned out as to cut
less of a figure than some time ago.
Then, too, attention is drawn more and
more to the new crop, which also contri-
butes to the general dullness. The early
sales we have heard of were 60cs by e.
B. Mowery & Co, and 3. F. Good & Co.,
who bought 177cs of old. Nearly all,
however, report large purchases of the
1901 crop. The sales for the correspond
ing week Of last year were 395cs.
There does not appear to be much of
let up to the buying which has been go
ing on all over the country during the
present. and part of the last month.
Heavy shipments are made at many of
the stations on the Pennsylvania and
Reading railroads, and these are filing
up the warehouses rapidly. Packing is
now going on at a lively rate, giving en-
ployment to many hundreds of men.
We have very large number of sales
recently made, but are unable to give
more than small portion of them. The
reader can, however, see how prices are,
as the sales are selected from all over
the county:
Henry Meek, La seedleaf at Tale; Sam
uel Vert, "a seedleaf at 714&1c; Henry
Irwin, "a seedleaf at 215&1c; Andrew
Welt, "a seedleaf at Sale; Samuel Kel-
Ter, La seedleaf at 6115&1c; Amos Landes,
"a seedleaf at Tale; Samuel Hess, 3a
seedleaf at 624&1c; Jacob Boose, liza

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market

SOhhOCGCuL Fd1lCy 1ODdCCO Market.
Sales of tobacco have not been quite
so numerous the past week as the previ-
Gus weeks, for the reason that the grow
ers were SO heightened by the stories of
the packers telling. We wonder that
such condition should ever have gained
any credence among the growers They
acted like a flock of sheep when one is
frightened. They all seemed to partici-
pate in the fright and because so anxious
to sell for any old price that they fairly
tumOled over each other in their sense
less haste, and so rushed about with
samples of their crops, ready to take any
offer they could get.
We would like to have the farmers
combine in each town, assert their own
crops and have committee to dispose
of it. Some plan could be devised that
would help the growers. Ii five or six
influential men in each town would start
the union going, they would thus help
the smaller growers. They could have
meetings and talk it over and dissent
nate information relative to the market
conditions, and many other things of
great interest relative to the buying of
fertilizers, modes of culture, as we'll as
the curing and disposing of the crop.
1t is in the bounds of reasonable ex-
pectation that the light-colored wrap
pers that have been bought at almost
filler rates will sell at from 65 cents to 81
pound, and that as soon as through
the forced sweat. We have before US
two circulars issued by jobbers, and they
both ask 85 cents for the best, and 80
cents for the next grade, and for medium
quality 60 TO 60 cents, and good, but
dark, 40 to 30 cents.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Sunderland: mo sales of tobacco this
week. Growers of tobacco have walked
up to the fact that many have sold for
far too low prices, and that it is better
to sort their crops, and find out the ex-
act condition of the stock before selling.
The buyers offered from Is to % cents
for the crops when harvested, but now
won't take them for more than from to
10 cents This is,altogether too much of
a shrinkage Much of the leaf is still
good, and of fine quality. We expect
the growers will do just the same thing
next fall, and sell at the same figures,
without anything paid to bind the bar
gain. What fools we farmers are!" Con
way: II have few more sales at pretty
low figures: J. M. Stearns 81 Son and a.
s. Eddy, to Wisconsin party, and w.
Pulsifer, prices ranging from to 10 cts.
The buyers seem to want tobacco pretty
bad. There we're as many as four in
town in one day. Cultivator.

A. &. Besse, farmer OF the Rattle
snake country, sent some grasses to the
Yakima land office this week to give the
newcomers an idea of what can be
raised on lands in this county without
irrigation. Among the samples are blue
hulless barley, red clover and timothy,
bronze grass, wheat, white rye, oats,
alfalfa and orchard grass. Mr.. Besse
says these specimens were taken at
random from the fields, and are no
better than any of the grains lett stand
ing. The specimens would be fine
example of what can be grown in this
county even under irrigation. They are
strong and rank, and have all indica-
tions of coming to early maturity. In a
letter to j. n. Bowlin, Mr.. Besse says he
had new potatoes on June LIST, and his
peaches and cherries, grown on one
year-old trees, are now ripe. From all
indications the Rattlesnake hills bid
fair to become a great fruit and grain
district of this country.

dignity of priest of God was serving
in the sanctuary. O death, thou cruel
reaper thou hast taken from us boy
of fairest promise thou hast ruthlessly
by the sharp click of thy sickle sent the
death knell through a happy home. 1t
is hard to see one die so young. But,
vet, we must not regret lest we fly in the
face of the decree of the Advise Judge.
All youth so Young, so pure, fair,
why vert thou taken from thy home away
For as we look in years beyond the skies
We see thee great and good priest one day
But Gods WAYS are not ours, and when death
comes,
We bow in grief, and wonder why It's so.
Beneath closed lashes eyes there are that see
Into the light OF Gods own perfect day.
Near unto God by death is pulseless clay,
And Francis spirit surely reigns with God.
Then let us wait, and long, and love, and pray.
And when we're called to Heaven, We'll know
our own.
The funeral services were held in st.
Joseph's church Friday at 10 O'Clock
a. m. The pupils of the parochial school
marched in procession from the Shuk
residence to the church, where in n
body they heard mass for the repose of
Francis soul. The funeral Grafton was
delivered by Rev. FIR. O'Conner, S. j.
He portrayed in touching eloquence the
life of the dear, innocent little boy, who
by his love for God had endeared him
self to the entire parish, and whose
spotless innocence made him too pre-
cious a flower to be left in the garden of
earth, lest its chilling blasts might blight
the beauty of his soul. ~

A READER TALKS
ABOUT CUTTING HAY
Care Must BE Exercised BY Farmer
If He Would Have Best
Market.
NORTH YAKIMA, June 9, 1902.


EDITOR HERALD: | have noticed some
baled alfalfa hay coming into the city OF
this seasons cutting. While l do not
presume to imply that farmer does not
know when his alfalfa is fright" for
cutting, can see where the present
high price OF hay might be a temptation
for hay raiser to cut his crop a little
early and rush it into the bale i'll order
to receive the benefits OF a high market.
I would not censure the farmer that
hurries his product to market, providing
it is matured and carefully cured before
baling, but when the hay is otherwise
and has gone to the markets in dam
aged condition, it casts a reflection on
all hay raised in this vicinity, and our
market men are on the alert for fear
they will be flooded with inferior hay.
There is no question but that hay
baled too soon will prove unsatisfactory
to the buyer who usually purchases in
large quantities and stores in his ware
house, which would have a tendency to
lower the price OF hay. Commission
men will not buy poor lot OF hay for
storage purposes. The farmer can well
afford to let his hay mature and cure
well before putting it in the bale.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 17.-George Dixon
tonight ran up against a snag in young
Joe Tipman, of this city, and had the
contest gone a couple of rounds r.Sre he
would have probably been knocked out.
AS it was. the men fought twenty rounds
to a draw.
Tipman is comparatively a novice, and
has no ring generalship and experience.
For the first six rounds he seemed to be
afraid of Dixon, but after this he took
courage. He allowed George TO do most
Of the leading throughout up TO the last
round.
Tipman was the heavier, and, while Dix
on landed more frequently than the
youngster, yet one of Tipman's blows
counted for three of the cOlored mans, as
Dixon's blows lacked steam.
Tipman played mostly for the wind with
his right, except in the twentieth round,
when he, went at Dixon hammer and
tongs, landing right and left ON the jaw
and stomach. and at the sound of the
gong Dixon was clinching to save himself.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 17.-That the

Pittsburg and New York are included in

yesterday when information from Kansas

President Whitfield, of the Western
League.
From authoritative source the infor-
nation was ELECTED that it was for tho
Robisons, of st. Louis, that Brush was
conducting the negotiations for the Mil
waukee baseball grounds, formerly occu-
pied by the American League team, and
the belief is well grounded that the Rob-
isons will transfer their National League
team to Milwaukee.
In baseball circles it is asserted that
the Pittsburg Club will find a place in
the American League circuit by buying
the Cleveland franchise, and the New
York Club will absorb the Baltimore az
gregation, including "Muggsy" McGraw,
who will be the manager of the New
Yorks.
Negotiations to accomplish this end
have been in progress for some time be-
tween President Johnson, of the Ameri-
can League; Freedman, of the New York
Club, and Dreyfuss. Of the Pittsburgs.
