NUMBER So.

ers are very much at variance, some of
the enthusiastic going so far as to pre-
dict that the coming crop is destined to
be inferior OF lacking in the principal re-
quisits of first class filler tobacco: while
others claim that indications to date
point distinctly to the harvesting of
filler leaf, the many desirable features of
which have not been equaled since the
famous crop of 1895. The conservatives,
however, continue their observations,
making notes the while, but wisely re-
serving their convictions as to the prob
able result until cutting time. The soil
was somewhat packed about the roots of
early tobacco bv frequent rains, thus
preventing full development or spread
of the leaf, and stimulating an early
showing of the bud. And from this we
may reasonably expect the harvesting of
light yield OF short leaf; but the later
planted tobacco is still small enough to
receive the full benefit of August show
ers, if they come-so there you are.
Struggling deliveries of farmers crops
are still in evidence at local warehouses.
The working forces at the varions pack
ing establishments are busily engaged at
tabling and resweating, and packers are
pleased at the satisfactory outcome

LANCASTER New ERA, Aug. 5, 1902.

Although this is not the season when
big business is looked for, the trans
actions have been quite large in the ag-
gregate, consisting of several large trans
actions, and number more all reaching
or exceeding the 100-case mark. Most
of the goods sold consisted of 1900 crop,
which latterly has been leaving the ware
houses rapidly. A few months hence
the attention will be given to last years
tobacco, for which manufacturers, of
course, have no present use. The sales
that have come to our notice were 2O0cs
sold by /. Ell. Weaver, 1O0cs sold by John
d. Skiles, 10Ocs sold by S. j. Mumma, of
Landisville, and 15O0cs1 purchased by the
United Cigar Company from M. S. Sea-
christ of Columbia. In all, 1900cs. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were 1679cs.
In Mondays New Era will be found a
detailed account nf the meeting of the
Tobacco Growers Association at the
State Experimental Station, and also
some later particulars of the condition of
the tobacco now growing under cover at
that place. Thus far it is all that could
be desired. Most of it has been topped
at the height of about feet, or more,
and some will soon be ready for primipg.
The growing crop generally is doing
we'll. There is much irregularity in
many fields, and some fields show up
quite poorly. But hot weather has come,
and, between heat above and moisture
beneath, the crop should now progress
rapidly. Some has been cut.

NEW YORK, August 6, 1902.

Complaint in Seed leaf circles contin-
ues quite general, but a careful study OF
the situation iustifes the belief that the
business being done this week in that
line is up to, if not above, the average,
considering the time of year. Every leaf
house is doing more or less, and while
the business of some is confined to sales
of very small proportions, others have
made good-sized sales One firm who
has sampled their new State tobaccos re-
port having disposed of 1000 boxes of
these goods within the past few days.
The Leaf representative unearthed a
half-dozen transactions of over 100 boxes
each, and learned of many more deals
involving from so cases downward. Sales
of the latter class cannot be reported,
however, owing to the fact that dealers
are disinclined to come forward with the
particulars, because they consider any
thing under 80 cases too insignificant to
make public.
The demand for the 1901 Pennsylvania
Broad leaf continues strong, and the
goods are being disposed of about as fast
as they become marketable.
Force sweated Connecticut wrappers
are also being looked after, and there are
few lots now in the market which are
not being dickered for. Of course, as the
bulk of this early-cured New England
tobacco has been cleaned up, no great
activity in Connecticut can be expected
until the naturally sweated tobacco is on
the market.
Sumatra.-An improvement during the
past week was sufficiently marked to en-
courage importers. The very fact that
business throughout the summer has
been so extremely quiet has made the
Sumatra contingent thoroughly appreci-
ative of any slight increase in the de-
mand. The business continues to be of
the five, ten and twenty bale variety, but
during the past few days these modest
orders have been coming in with more
regularity than for several weeks previ-
Gus. If all of the small orders could be
aggregated, a very creditable showing
for the past six days might be made.
Havana.-There is nothing worthy of
especial comment in the Havana market
this week. Business continues rather
quiet, but importers look wise and ap-
pear confident of the outcome. The
largest sale reported was one of 300 bales
of low-grade Remeios, the price averag-
ing about 20 cents in bond.-Leaf.

LODI, WIS, August s, 1902.

The early set crops in this vicinity will
in many cases prove disappointing to the
growers. Still, with the clear weather
of the past week, plenty of warmth and
sunshine, the plants have taken on new
life, and there is certainly nothing dis
couraging IN the outlook. The rainy
and cloudy weather worked to the dis
advantage of the early set fields, but the
later set plants are coming on like race
horses. Harvest will begin in many
fields in a short time. Present indica-
tions are that the harvest will be stretch
ed out over period of several weeks be-
fore the last plants are gathered En-
terprise.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Things are very quiet in the Valley in
the tobacco line. Yet dealers are stir
ring around, and would gather up the
scattered crops of tobacco, but those who
hold the few stray crops are, as rule,
held by set of men who fully under
stand the market conditions. In a re-
cent conversation with one of these gen
tlemen, who is holding good many tons
of the 1901 crop, he said: mo, it isn't
time to set price on my holdings. 1t
is, however, improving in the case, as
we'll as in price it will bring" This ap-
pears to be about the feeling that ami
mates those who hold these crops.
The outlook for the present crop was
never better. The probabilities as to it's
extent are rather against it's being any
larger than usual. Probably more acres
were planted, but the many hailstorms,
the wet and cold season, causing the
plants on many farms to show low and
spindling plant, budding out at too short
a stem, this causes many to write that
there will be no loss of ventilation, as
there will be room enough between the
tiers this year.
The hailstorms in Connecticut of July
% swept over large section at Canton
and Simsbury. At Canton the damage
is estimated at $4,000. This storm was
very damaging. Another took in Broad
Brook and it's vicinity, destroying much
property. There were six curing barns
destroyed, as we hear, from burning, also
large damage in Bloomfield and Portland
and other towns.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Hatfield July %: Tobacco is growing
finely, l.. Ell. Kingsley. who has field
covered with cloth, has begun to pluck
the leaves and hang it in his curing
barns The Havana seed cutting will
begin next week; nice crop" Conway,
July %: THE tobacco crop is growing
very we'll, considering the weather. We
need some good, warm, sunshiny days to
make it mature as it ought. For all we
have had such damp and cool weather,
there is but very little yellow tobacco
this year." Sunderland, July %: TO
bacco continues to bear the cool and wet
weather remarkably we'll. There were
many showers in this vicinity and one
slight fall of hail which did very little
damage. The crop is nearly all topped,
no worms and no grasshoppers; crop is
of good color. We shall be short of room
to hang the ."-Cultivator
