A number of buyers have been in the
field during the past week and have been
riding. Very few sales have beeh re-
ported, although considerable amount
has been said to have been picked up at
prices ranging from 5 to 10 cents The
asserting at the warehouses where to-
bacco is being rehandled continues. A
large number of cases have been deliv-
cred by the growers within the last few
days, most of which has been shipped.
On Thursday and Friday of last week j.
L. Skinner, representing G.. Falk & Bro,
received about 400 cases, and Lewis Syl-
yester & Son received $50 cases Satur-~
day. j. Bunzl & Son received on the.
first three days of the week, taking in
about 400 cases which was shipped to-
their warehouse at New Milford, Conn.
Joseph Mayors Sons of New York also
received about $50 cases last week which
was shipped to New York. Among the
out of town buyers sill in the field are
Max Stern of Lewis Sylvester & Sop,
New York, S. D. Green of j. Benzl &
Son, Geo. Erisman of Lancaster, Pa, and
ii. z. Taylor, representing M. M. FRYE of
Lancaster A we'll informed buyer esti-
mates that considerable over three quar-
ters of the 1901 crop has now been sold.
Included in the balance still in the
growers hands are number of crops of
good quality. But very few growers
have prepared their plant beds. Ga

LANCAsTER NEW ERA. April Is, 1902.

LANCASTER New ERA, April Is, 1902.
The weeks come and 60 without bring
ing any material change in the demand
for cased tobaccos. There are still no
transactions on a very large scale. There
is tobacco selling, it is true, but it is in
few case lots to manufacturers for imme-
diate use. Even this line of trade is
contracting, because of the overshadow-
ing spectre of great trust, which ap-
pears to be throwing blight over the
cigar trade. The latter has latterly be-
come very dull, according to the reports
of manufacturers, and there is no doubt
the statement is correct to the very let
ter. The only sales reported were 20
cases by M. M. Fry, and John E. Longe-
necker sold about 100 cases of filters to
the American Tobacco Company to go
to one of their Virginia factories. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were 120 cases.
The buying of loose tobacco still goes
on merrily. Some localities are pretty
we'll cleaned out, but in others there is
still good deal of tobacco to be had.
We note no change in prices. The best
goods still command the full prices, anda
it is only for inferior goods, as a rule, in.
which concessions are obtained. 1t looks
as if the crop would be pretty nearly
lifted by planting time. Those who have
been holding off for some reason or
another until the present time will have
to bestir themselves now if they want to
put up domestic packing in this county,

market in old tobaccos still remains
rather quiet.
Havana Inquiries were more numer-
Gus this week than last, and few fair
sized deals were put through. Others are
pending, Business is not, however, as
lively as the outlook should make it. APP
parently lingering hope is still enter
tained by manufacturers that the situa-
tion in the growing sections will prove
to be more promising than last reports
Indicate
Among the sales reported during the
past week were: 100 bales 1901 Vueltas,
IS to 70 cents; 80 bales 1900 Remedies,
fine second capaduras, 40 cents; 81 bales
1900 Remedies, first capaduras, 60 cents

M1AMIsBURG, O., April II. 1902.

The usual lull in buying, after packers
have secured the bulk of their intended
purchase, prevails. But few sales are
reported, and deliveries are waning.
Some of the farmers who were so indif-
ferent about showing their crops earlier
are now anxious to sell.
The work of preparing the ground and
sowing seeds is engaging the attention
of tobacco growers generally. AS the
season is somewhat backward many are
sprouting the seeds and canvasing the
beds.
A scarcity of spriggers in local ware
houses is source of uneasiness. One
house recently solicited the forces of
other packers at an advanced price,
which simply resulted in general ad-
vance in price at all warehouses, with
out augmenting the sprigging force of
the originator Of the scheme News.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.


We are conscious of the fact that very
few sales are being made at present.
Packers ordinarily pick up few lots if
they can be had at as low rates as they
desire, in order to reduce the general av-
erage of prices. But if it can't be OBJ.
tained at previous rates, or higher, they
seldome buy more. So parties may fully
understand that if they sell now the
chances are against an improved price.
The shade grown tobacco, Al acres,
yielded some over $4,000 pounds This
is to be sold Thursday, May /, at auc-
ton, at Hartford. The committee for
the sale is Ariel Nicholson, Luther M.
Case and Alfred A. Elds, all Connect
cut men. The acre raised by J. A. Du-
Bon of Poquonock, CT, has already been
sold, the price ranging from $1.4O to $3.50
per pound, averaging about So. The
coming sale at auction will give good
test of its value. The work of erecting
the frame has been going on for two or
three weeks.
The outlook for good prices for the
1901 crop OF seed leaf and Havana was
never better for fair to good crops The
only drawback is the crazy notion of
granting concession to Cuba. It's eff
fects are not only injurious to the grow
ers, but to the manufactures Of cigars,
as it allows of percentage off from ci-
gars, and opportunity for the introduc-
ton of such goods in the year that it will
badly handicap the trade for years. Such
is our opinion, if anything should be
done as desired by partisans. .-Cultiya-

The New England Homestead has AZ
ured out the last seasons crop in that
section to be worth, approximately,
about 81, ,145, 1893. The approximate value
of the crop of 1900 was about S4,526, ,9OS.
Making an estimate of the 1901 crop is
difficult matter, as large number of
crops wers sold twice; on many large
sum was knocked off in final payment by
buyers, sweat and rot caused the throw
ing away of large quantity, and of
course the full acreage planted is seldom
harvested. The figures below, however,
may be regarded as approximate as to
the value of the crop. The average val
ue of the crop of 1901 is 1917 cents per
pound; of the crop of 19OO IL cents.
This does not include the $1,000 pounds
raised under cheesecloth and which has
not been sold.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, April 25, 1902.
The buying movement is still progress
sing in most of the growing sections
where dealers are freely riding and big
slices are Topped off each week from the
unsold portions of the crop. Good judges
estimate that not much more than a
third of the crop in Rock and Dane
counties remains in growers hands. This
fraction, too, will soon be absorbed if the
present rate of buying continues.

The first sales of any consequence of
1901 packings have occurred during the
weed when some 4500cs, secured from
three packers of Vernon county and Rio
tobacco was sold to the United Cigar
Manufacturers Co. of New York The
market for cured leaf does not exhibit
much improvement. Mcintosh Bros
report the sale of 175cs of 1900 for the
week. a portion going to export.
The recent purchases are coming in to
the packing points freely, and the ware
house handling of the crop will continue
for some weeks yet.
The dry weather has made it almost
necessary for growers to continually water
their plant beds to ensure anything like
the usual growth of the young plants
Farmers who neglect this work will suf
fer later.
The shipments out Of storage reach q
car loads, 1920 cases, from this market
to all points for the week past. Since

exported from New York

ABBEY Is READY
Englands Historic Church Prepared
for Coronation.

London, June 1S.--After being al
most Theoretically closed to the public
and press for two months, Westmin-
ster Abbey in its coronation dress
was described in today's London
Times, commencing with the artificial
annex, which, externally, blends SO
perfectly in color and architecture with
the old structure as to deceive the
experienced eye. WEW
The correspondent says that the
abbey annex inside has the appear
ance of a vast hall with a timbered
roof supported on square and carved
arches. Here the procession will be
formed. Upon the walls are costly
tapestries and a magnificent collection
of old armor and lances from the
tower.
The stands in the abbey itself, the
erection of which caused some dis
approval, are so placed that the
architectural beauty of the ancient
building is by no means marred. They
are draped with mixture of delicate
blue and old gold velvet. On either
side near the west end are priceless
tapestries, lent by the Duke and Duch-
ess OF Marlborough, and thick, dark
blue carpet has been laid down. 1t

casion and is ornamenOed with the

A Ditference in Gas Wells

While in Topeka T. S. Stover was
introduced to man from Decatur
county. Slower was presented as a
gentleman from lola, the great gas
town" The Decatur man compla-
Gently remarked that gas had been
found out in his country, assuring
Stover that it is good well. "Why,"
said he, "a professor from Oberlin
college tested it by placing can over
the top and the bubbles from the water
in the we'll filled the can and burst
the seams The gas burned too"
Then Slower got in. "Say, pard-
ner," said he, "What would you
think of real gas we'll? You never
saw one OF ours, did you. Do you see
that post" and Stover jabbed his
umbrella against fence post. "Well,
down in my country, you could no
more shove crow-bar into a flow of
gas from an eight-inch hole than you
can shove that umbrella into that
post"
The gentleman from Decatur county
gazed for moment at Stover to see
if he would laugh. He didn't.

With the Ball Fans

AS everybody expected lola got
both the ball games Friday from
Jefferson City, but nobody expected
that either game would be like it was.
The first game, which was the post
poned game from the day before, was
twelve inning game which lola won
by one run. The disheartened Jetfer-
son City manager sent his team up
town after the game and would not
play the game regularly scheduled for
Friday, so umpire Hamilton gave il
to lola 0.
The score by innings OF the first
game tells how it happened Here it
is:
Jefferson City =. 4 0 3 , 0 , 0 Q
Iola......... 3 90 |
Saturdays game was won by lola
Forney pitched for lola and Witt for
Sedalia. lola took the lead in the
first inning and the visitors never
scored until the fifth when errors gave
them three runs. The lead then shift
ed back and forth but lola got too far
ahead for the visitors to catch up and
he final score was to l0in our favor.
The lola ball teams winning streak
took bad turn Sunday by reason
of the clever pitching of Dummy
Curtis. His twists were too circuitous
for the boys and when bases were full
twice the needed was not forthcoming.
The score was 10 TO in favor of Sc
dalia.
Monday was the last game OF the
series with Sedalia. Smith went in the
box for lola and Thomas for Sedalia.
lola opened up on Thomas for FIVE
runs and by that time Sedalia con-
cluded to change and Lawson was sub
stituted for Thomas. He succeed in
retiring the side without letting in any
more runs and the only other run lola
got was in the fourth when they made
one.
Sedalia went steadily to work and

Washington, June l8 The War
department has notified the interior
department that trouble is threatened
among the Apache Indians upon the

MORE RAIN IN KANSAS
Almost Daily Showers in COwley
County Delay Harvesting

Arkansas City, Kansas, June H.
Another heavy rain fell in Southern
Kansas early this morning and will
delay the wheat harvest for at least
two more days. The ground is now
so soft that a machine cannot be sue
cessfully operated, and the farmers
are concerned about their crop. For
the past ten days the rain has fallen
just often enough to keep them out of
the fields. This condition prevails all
over Cowley and Kay counties.
Guthrie, o. T., June ia heavy
rain accompanied by some wind, fell
throughout Eastern Oklahoma this
morning. 1t is feared much damage
has been done to oats. which, on ac-
count of the rank growth, is easily
damaged. A greater part of the
wheat is in the shock and no damage
to this is reported.
