NEW YORK, Oct. IA, 1903.

The second week in October has prov
ed as uneventful as the first. Business is
quiet, and sales, with a few exceptions,
are of the ten and twenty case order.
The cleaning up of the New England
goods has left the market barren of any
thing in the line of "specialties," " and
there is really no tobacco in which good
assortment of goods can be shown. A
sale of 500 cases of 1901 Pennsylvania
Broad leaf was reported, and thinner
Spanish aggregating 200 cases changed
hands.
Samples of the new Wisconsin tobacco
continue to arrive from the packing Gen.
ters, and grading is the order of the day
in many leaf houses. The tobacco re-
ceived so far shows the percentage of
damage to vary considerably. In some
of the better packings, leaving the filters

There is still demand in the local
market for the 1902 crop, although few
sales are reported. E. w. Tucker is re-
ported as having sold his crop of 20 cases
to Henry Mencken, representing Aug.
Mencken & Bros. of Baltimore. Md for
81 cents. Mr.. Mencken was here on
Monday and Tuesday and is reported as
having bought several other crops. S.
Auerhach & Co. of New York are still in
the field and their warehouses where
their purchases are being handled pre-
sent busy appearance for this season
of the year They have about 70 men
and women employed in the Frazee and
Dunham warehouses. A well-known To-
cal buyer, who is usually conservative in
his figures, estimates that there is still
remaining in the growers hands about
1900 cases of 1902.

New York.


NEW YORK, Oct. II, 1903.
The leaf market continues active and
buoyant. While every type Of leaf finds
in 1902 Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, of
which vast quantities are being con-
tracted for 1t sounds like old times to
hear of the sale of five hundred and
thousand case lots At last manufactur-
ers seem to have awakened to the fact
that neither the supply of the new crops
is sufficient to cover the steadily increas-
ing demand of the cigar industry nor
can the deficiency be made up from a
surplus of the old crops as the latter
have been completely consumed. Con-
sequently in order not to be thrown on
the mercy of the market and to be pre-
pared to keep up the standard and grade
of their goods manufacturers have to lay
in proper ard sufficient supply to last
them through the year, which can only
be done when the opening Of the season
offers full supply of the new crops.
Under these circumstances the question
of price has almost become secondary
consideration. The new Wisconsin, for
instance, is now selling readily for from
Is to 10 cents running, when two years
ago under similar conditions price of
16 cents was held to be very nigh forbid
ding. And, yet, if those comparatively
high prices should be excepted to now it
is as certain as anything can be that
within few months they will jump up
to far higher figure. Not less active is
the market in Sumatra leaf. Sales are
steady and rising in the quantity of lots
bargained for. ! Of last, years crop it
seems evident that the earlier inscrip-
tions offered the better and more ser
viceable leaf, at least better leaf Tor the
American market. Neither is the Ha-
vana market dull. Although steady
stream of buyers went down to Cuba
this year, larger in numbers and starting
earlier in the, season than ever before,
the local market does not seem to suffer
from any lack of trading. For the bulk
of old and better grade Remedies are
held in this country and they are the
ones now chiefly in demand. And as for
small parcels of factory vegas this mar
ket probab offers wider range for Sc
lection than that in Havana just now.
The volume of business is certainly sat
isfactory all around.-Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, Oct. %, 1903.
Aside from few scattering sales con-
tinually being made on the outskirts of
the tobacco section, the movement in the
new crop is attracting no attention.
There is no organized effort anywhere on
the part of the large operators to renew
buying, and much of the riding being
done is a search for old stock in growers
hands. A few remnants of cured leaf
are thus being gathered in, making alto
gether more show of business than for
some time past. The report of a large
deal of some 250O cases of 1902 by the
United Cigar Manufacturers is confirm
ed, including the packings of Sanford
Soverhill, Mcintosh Bros. and Owen &
Pepper. S. B. Heddles reports the sale
of 3O0cs lot of 1901 binder stock and
3O0cs of 1901 filters, the latter to Ell. w.
Child. George Rumrill has disposed of
260cs of 1901 goods and bought 57cs
lot of growers. The sales of L. B. Carle
& Son for the week reach about 1OOcs.
Geo. Decker purchased 23cs of O1 of
Thos. Langemo at &c. Chas. Carrier
sold 35cs of 1901 to Bimberg at 1Oc.
These transactions indicate somewhat
better feeling in the cured leaf market.
The weather conditions remain decid-
edly favorable to the curing out of the
new crop which is now safely past any
dangers of shed injury.
The shipments out of storage amount
to 41Ocs from this market to all points
for the week.

M1AMIsBURG, o., Oct. 13, 1903.

Occasional rains and nightly dews
have been kind to the tobacco hanging
in the sheds, by rendering material as
sistance in the process of curing. The
earlier harvested portion is sufficiently
advanced to permit stripping and a few
growers fmainly those having poor strip
rooms or none at alD have begun strip
ping. With some exception the crop is
reported to be curing well.
In Darke county number of buyers
are endeavoring to contract the crop at
&c for thinner, 7c for Dutch and &c for
seedleaf, but are meeting with indiffer-
ent success. In this vicinity no offers
are reported, buyers and farmers alike
preferring to bide their time and await
the outcome to taking leap in the dark.

year circus enterprise has gone one
step further and adopted the scenery

phere and point TO a dramatic spectacle
called Jerusalem and the Crusades.
This story is told in three scenes, which
picture the starting place of the ro-
mantle crusades. courtyard In the
emir's palace at Jerusalem. and the
ramparts Of Jerusalem, where the bat
tie action takes place that ends the
story.
