NEW YORK. August 16, 1902.

With the latter part of August the
season begins to open for the leaf mar
ket. The lead is being taken by the
New England crop, the inspectors sam
piles of which are now on exhibition in
most of the packing houses. The sam
pling of that crop, it is reported, has
given heartburn and headache to many
packer. For the recognized samplers
are said to have refused to guarantee
their samples for any length of time. A
great deal of cleaning has consequently
been done with the effect of reducing
the quantity of sound leaf and of in
creasing it's value. Sound running lots
command therefore minimum price of
from % to 30 cents, while seconds which
in many packings contain an abundance
of light, thin leaf are rated at 25 cents
The market with such figures will un-
doubtedly prove difficult one, but the
extensive dearth of domestic wrapper
leaf is bound to force sales no matter
how much baking may be done against
the goods and their prices. Several
transactions have indeed taken place
already, among which may be mentioned
one of 100 boxes of medium sized and
rather dark wrappers at 81 cents. Most
OF the out town buyers are still shy at
closing transactions, but as the crop can
not be made over again they will have to
take it as it is. The little cigar, the out
put of which is steadily increasing, de-
mands Connecticut wrapper, and SO
does a certain class of seed and Havana
cigar manufacturers. Besides the New
England crop great deal of Pennsyl-
vania has beer sampled. Damage there,
too. But what is perhaps more disap-
pointing is the absence of B's, the bulk
of which for our nickel cigars is gener-
ally drawn from the Pennsylvania. The
1901 Pennsylvania leaf is very large and
thin; it will therefore furnish an ideal
leaf for stogies, cheroots and machine
binders. And for those purposes it will
undoubtedly find quick buyers.
Under the prevailing conditions the
Sumatra is extending its favor again
among the iobbing trade and the buyers
in town are likely to load up with more
of it than they anticipated.
The Havana market is quiet for the
present-Journal.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Dealers are seeking for the scattering
crop of leaf, but holders are quite will
ing to sell when a sufficient price is of
fered. The day of low prices is past if
the crop is from fair to good, only the
parties who hold it are not going to give
it away just vet. There is tolerably
fair crops in fields, while there are some
poor pieces and an unusual quantity of
hail-cut in New England, so we are of
the opinion that the crop in the open is
less than that of last year at this time of
the season.
The leaf under shade is not included
in our estimate. The shade leaf is now
being harvested and several are trying
experiments. Hinsdale Smiths sons are
going to pick the bottom leaves and then
cut and hang the balance as though it
was seed leaf.
The outlook for the present crop was
never better than now, SO there is every
inducement to care for it in first-class
way, so be very careful in doing the work
even though it takes a little longer.
Those growers who assorted and packed
their own tobacco are, as rule, fortu-
nate in their holdings.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Whately: Michael J. Halleson has just
sold his S-acre crop of Havana seed, at
"a cents, on the scales. Tobacco is grow
ing finely, and looks as we'll as usual in
this section. Topping was pretty general
the past week. We are all busy" Suf-
field, CT, Aug. s: "The State Board of
Agriculture met the 9th inst at Edmund
Halladay's and examined the tobacco
fields of Suffield. All of the members
were present except one or two. The
shaded fields of Olds, Whipple & Pinney
and the open fields were examined and
found to be doing we'll. Tobacco in the
last ten days has made a wonderful
growth. The town of Kent, in the west,
part Of the state, was visited by a hail
storm recently, and some fields Of tobac-
co were so damaged that it was plowed
under. A hailstorm visited Broad Brook,
perforating the plants, and injuring the
crop to great extent" Another party
estimates the loss at S3O0O0 and six cur
ing barns destroyed. East Hartford ITO
bacco has improved rapidly for the last
two weeks and is very sound, free from
grasshoppers aid green worms. It bids
fair to be a frst-class crop. Cutting
has been begun, and will soon become
general" Some additional notes as fol-
lows from Hartford relative to Suffield:
"Conservative estimates of the acreage
place it at 1000 acres. Mr.. Ed Halliday
has 26 acres. and on one field It has
been grown 33 years, thus controverting
the rotation theory. The syndicate of
Bessel, Graves & Phillips is growing l15
acres, 10 acres of which is shaded"

LODI, Wis, August Is, 1902.

Each day now sees an improvement in
the many fields of tobacco. The weed
has made most marvellous growth in
the past few weeks, and even though the
wet weather earlier in the season had a
bad effect on the crop, it has now re-
covered, and is in excellent shape Many
fields of the early planting will soon be
ready to harvest. The leaves have filled
out we'll the last two weeks, and leaving
hail and frost out of the reckoning, the
growers will have mammoth crop this
year.-Enterprise.

LANCASTER NEW ERA. Aug. II, 1892
Although this is generally dull
month, the volume of trade during the
past week has been fairly large, not only
SO far as local manufacturers are CON
cerned, but also in the matter of outside
trade In fact the cigar output all over
the country is abundant evidence that
cigar leaf is going into consumption rap
demand The sales that have been
brought to our notice during the past
week were 245 cases sold by l. e. Weav-
other of 400 cases bought by Il. S. Johns;
% cases sold by john D. Skiles; 295 cases
bought by B. ~. Mowery e. Co., and 440
cases sold by B. f. Good & Co.; in all,
l,6Oo cases. For the corresponding week
of last year the sales were 1,677 cases.
The attention of farmers and packers
alike is now concentrated on the crop in
the fields. Generally speaking, the con-
ditions have been favorable. There have
been repeated showers and plenty of sun
shine, so that all the plants have had to
do has been to grow towards maturity
as rapidly as possible There has, how
ever, been a serious drawback in series

along on last Wednesday. These swept
over the country from west to east, and
in some places did much damage. Hail
fell from the Dauphin county line, near
Falmouth, eastward as far as Blue Ball,
and northward to Mannheim and the vi
cinity of Ephrata, but not continuously
throughout that entire stretch of coun-
try which is about twenty-five miles.
Many localities between these places es-
capped the hail altogether The area over
which the hail fell was from two to eight
miles wide. Then, again, the fall was
light in some places, doing little harm,
while in others it was very destructive.
On Duffy's Island, in the Susquehanna,
eight acres were cut to the ground, stems
as we'll as leaves, and that was the case
elsewhere also 1t would be idle to at
tempt to state low much damage was
done; any attempt to do SO would be a
mere guess. The reports in such cases
are always exaggerated, but, making all
allowances, the losses are large, larger
we think, than from the same cause in
twenty-five years.

The ship of the desert" so long the
only means of traversing the great des-
ert of Sahara, is to give way to the un-
poetic automobile. The French govern
ment is experimenting with gasoline mo-
tor carriages for carrying mails and
supplies between GASES. Camels can
go several days without water, but
should nave it every day. About 10O
miles is a camers range of action from
a supply base, but the new automobiles
that are being tried have a touring ra-
dius of 500 miles without new supplies.
As the desert makes good automobile
travelling the innovation should prove
a success. A speed of twenty miles an
hour can be maintained.

Several Nevada Republican papers
copy a%pprovingly a scurrilous article
from the New York Sun regarding Con-
gresham Newlands. The Sun is the
official organ of abuse of the Republi-
can party. Its virulence is notorious,
it's unfairness in political matters I'M
disputed. The Sun was the chief news
paper supporter of the naval clique's
dastardly conspiracy against Admiral
Schley. Every mar of political prom
inence in the United States who is q
not Republican has al some time or
other been the recipient of malignant
abuse from the Sun. Congressman
Newlands should feel complimented
rather than otherwise over being made
the object of attack by the Sun. Abuse
from such a source is complimentary. II
is a recognition of the Nevada Con
gressman's national standing as an OPP
ponent of Republican policies.

Cotton injured By Rain.

Washington, Specialize Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions says: Reports Of injury from
rain to open cotton are very general
throughout the belt, with the exception
of the Carolinas and portions of Texas,
and %sprouting and rotting in bolls are
largely reported, especially in the CEN
trail districts. Picking, though much
interrupted, is we'll advanced and IS
nearing completion in some districts.
Late cotton in central and norehern
Texas is making rapid growth, but will
not mature unless frosts are unusual
ly late, and under these conditions a
light top crop may also be gathered
in Alabama. A fine crop Of Sea Island
cotton is promised in South Carolina.
Late tobacco has been materially i'm
proved. Cloudy and rainy weather,
which has been very general through
out the week, has been very u~nfavor-
able for curing.

Roosevelt has decided to make an Ell
fort to get the anthracite coal mine
owners and their striking employees TO-
rether in the interest OF the puDllc
good. This conclusion was reached AFTER
4 series Of conferences with his caDl-
net advisers. The decision was arrived
at when the lawyers OF the cabinet In
formed the President thatthere was no
way under the constitution and form
o. government of the United States Tor
Federal Intervention to end the strike.
Every phase Of the situation was can
yassed and the determination to have
the mine operators and President
Mitchell meet the President was reach
cd when it was found that no other
method was open.

ton so strenuous in its final hours as
to bring almost personal conflict, and
vet terminating in such perfect haf-
mony as to allow the completion Oh
the State tickle. with less than a hun-
dred delegates out Of 400 in the naii
was the result of the closing Oh the
Democratic State convention. 1t began
in the early morning with a prepared
sla:s Of candidates. The slate was not
broken in any particular, out the
of objection to it was given 10 a!i the
delegates except when, in the case Oh
one New York delegate. it was Deiieved
to be an infringement OF the rules
Under which the convention was acting.
The ticket nominated follows: Gov
ernor, bird S. Color, Brooklyn; Lieu.
tenant Governor, Charles n. Bulger, OF
Oswego; Secretary Of State. tarnK
Mott, OF Chatauqua; Comptroller. Chas.

eineer and Surveyor, Richard W. Sher-
man, of Oneida; State Treasurer, Geo.
r. Finch, Of Warren; Associate Judge
of the Court of Appeals, John C.. Gray,
OF New York.
Naturally a great deal Of the interest
in the convention centred in the atti-
tude it would take toward the seating
OF VIM. S. Devery, former head OF the
police department Of New York. VINO
held a regular certificate Of election
from the ninth district. 1t was not an
unexpected event that the convention
decided to unseat him, and 1t was not
sc unexpected that he and his follow
ers were vociferous in their ob]ec-
tons.
So thoroughly had Mr.. DeVery maas
ND his mind that the convention "ouio
have none of him that he did not at
tend the meeting Of the committee on
credentials but spent the earlier hours
OF the morning IN the rear OF the con-
yention hall among his alternates.
When the convention decided to ADOPT
the report of the committee by the vote
OF 422 to 211, then Mr.. Devery walked
out of the convention after being al
lowed to declare himself a good Demo-
crat, and proceeded to hold a mass,
meeting on the steps Of the United
States Hotel.

New Orleans, Special.-Tuesday's
conditions Of the strike Of the en-

Company, inaugurated Sunday, as con-
sidered by the peace authorities, were
satisfactory. No difficulties occurred,
being due, it is believed, to the fact
that no effort was made to move any
cars other than those carrying the
mails. Several mail cars delivered
mail to the sub-stations without diff
Guilty in the quarter below Canal street.
On the lines receiving power from the
Arabella barn, nothing could be done
with mail cars on account Of trouble
