Just a Ouief lime.

There is absolutely nothing doing in
tobacco matters, at least in buying.
Uncertainty as to the caring of the new
crop, damage sustained by unfavorable
weather conditions while in the field
cause buyers to be shy in making pur-
ehases. There Is a general feeling
among farmers that the weed is ceming
through the curing period in usual con-
dition.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter says
of conditions in the state;
The week has brought very little
worth recording as tobacco news. The
work of the harvest being over, the cur
ing of the crop proceeding satisfactorily,
the growers find little to worry over
The weather conditions continue de.
cidedly favorable to a rapid curing IN
the sheds, Most Of the early harvested
leaf is now cured out to the stem, and
even the later cut has now passed dan
ger from further shed damage. Buy
ing has not been resumed in any Of the
growing localities since the first rush
was over, except in a struggling sort of
way, and riding even almost suspended.
None of the large operators have any
men on the road.
Nothing has transpired in the cured
leaf market in the way of trades closed
aside from the ordinary sales in small
lots. Sampling of the 02 packings is
still going forward but not many of the
samples have yet appeared in the east
ern market centers. On tito town deal
ers are coming into the state quite freely
and inspecting the holdings of local
packers which gives encouragement for
trading.

Air Ships at Geuoa.

If the positive assertions of Henry
Clements, Charles Warne and dozen
other residents of the village of Genoa
are TO be depended upon, two large cigar
shaped airships passed over that vii
lage at high elevation Saturday after
noon. According TO the story of the
men the machines were supported by
balloons and were propelled by huge
wheels which sent buzzing sound to
their ears. The ships were pointed
northward and were travelling slowly.
The story is declared to be true by
some of the most reliable residents of
