round was that of the Society of the Ten.
A collection of thirty-six paintings was
shown in the well-arranged Durand-Ruel
galleries. None Of the pictures were skied
and none were arranged to kill the others.
There were no Earring notes and there
were not more than two or three that the
most critical taste would have liked to
eliminate. In visit of an hour one could
see them all very comfortably. The art
lists represented were Edward Simmons,
Frank w. Benson, j. Alden Weir, Willard
L. Metcalf, Childe Hassam, e. G. Tarbell.
Joseph De Camp, the late J. H. Twacht-
man, T. w. Dewing and Robert Reid. The
effect was one of air, warmth, light and
cheer. Perhaps Intentionally, the most
impressive group was that Of Mr.. Twacht-
mans strong but delicately colored land
scapes, largely snow effects, showing the
keenest and most discriminating observa-
ton and poetic spirit. The finest single
picture was Bensons Sunlight" a child's
figure enveloped in glow of warm, bright
air.
Another satisfactory select exhibition
was that at the Waldorf art galleries In
Th1rty-fourth street The group Of mem
showing work there were Carroll Beck
with, William A. Coffin, Robert w. Van
Boskerck Frederick w. Kost, Childe Has
sam, William M. Chase, r. Swain Clifford,
J. g. Brown, III. Bolton Jones, Samuel
lSadn, sergeant h0uUd1l, SdI1IOll
Chapman and j. Alden Weir. Coffin had
some beautiful landscapes with tender
hazy effects. Several of the Hassam pic
lures were on exhibition which have been
seen in Minneapolis, either in the annual
exhibition or in the special exhibition OF
his work. Kendall's single picture was
a ravishingly beautiful treatment Of an
orchard in full bloom, call 'The Glory Of
Fair Promise"

son Of the Arts and Crafts Society, it was

Need of Woman's Building.
Two years ago was organized an adj
visory committee of faculty women that
has been most helpful in association work.
One specially important topic has received
much attention from the advisory COM
m1ttee, the need Of a Woman's building.
For some time the association advocated
a dorm1tory and still approves it, but it is
now bending its energies towards securing
a building for social and religious pur-
poses that shall make special provision for
the needs of the women students, rest
rooms cafe, halls for the college socities,
etc. An effort was made to secure an
appropriation from the legislature but the
plan was defeated, lowing, to more press
ing needs" The site suggested for the
building is between the library and main
building, and a little back of them.
An important factor in Miss Hilman's
social program has been the personal calls
that she has made and received. In two
years she: has made 900 association calls,
coming into close personal touch with the

r In her parting from the association Miss
H1llman made several recommendations,
among them that the members call upon
their neighbors and plan neighborhood
gatherings. She desired more settlement
work and suggested Z the mounting OF
clipped pictures and stories for use in the
factories and making scrap books for
I children in hospitals.
The primary object of 1.-The association
IS the fostering of religious life and in
this the secretaryss influence is pre- emil.

GANCASIEh NEW LIMA u Wy Ii, A0oo'
All life dropped out of the local leaf
market during the past week. Whether
it was the extremely hot weather or
whether the market has temporarily
overtraded ITSELF or some other reason,
would be difficult to say. But the fact,
nevertheless, is that trading has been
about as fiat as it ever gets to be in this
market. No one can be found who is
willing to say that he even sold SO much
as hundred cases. But, then, it can
not be expected that from one to three,
thousand cases shall be sold every week.
We must take the lean along with the,
fat; this is one of the lean weeks. This
week last year the market displayed
great activity, the total transactions re-
corded being ,475cs.
The past week should have been d
good one for the plants standing 10 the
fields. There was plenty of warm wealth
er, and all the rain needed into the bar
gain And yet it seems to us that most
of the fields are not making that rapid
growth which we have a right to expect
from such favorable conditions. The
plants are smaller than we think they
should be at the middle of July; only
field here and there, at long intervals,
shows up as we'll as we would like to SEQ
them. But this may not be the case
everywhere. We have visited only half
dozen townships, and these not the
best The fields may look better else
where.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERTON. WIS. july "a. 100:

EDGERToN, WIS, July "a, 1903.
The weather of the week, aside from
the extraordinary rain storm of the 18th,
has been decidedly favorable for the de-
velopment of the growing crop, which is
now making satisfactory progress. The
floods that came with the storm, cover
ing a good share of the tobacco section
of the state, has resulted with quite ser
ious damage to the crop. People who
have ridden extensively this week claim
that fully once quarter of the acreage has
been drowned out and ruined. Topping
of some of the earliest set fields has COM
menced this week, though has not be-
come general as yet.
Packers report an improved inquiry
after old goods and some sales of mod
crate character have taken place. The
1902 packing put up by S. Ell. Hindes at
Lodi, consisting of 272 cases, has been
sold. The report reaches US that the 01
packing owned by Putnam & Co. at
Brodhead, 247 cases, has been purchased
by L. B. Carle & Son.
The shipments out of storage continue
light and do not exceed 400 cases from
this market to all points for the week
past.

w. S. Piney, who was reported as having
stripped the cloth from 4O-acre field,
had so arranged the attachment to the
cloth that enabled him to roll up por-
tion of it in case of it's being over wet, so
it could be closed up and the land dried;
this he has done, and will when ready
restore the shade. This was wise pro-
vision" Ellington, CT: The warm, dry
weather is working wonders in our to-
bacco crop in this vicinity. In Somers
the crop stands as we'll as ours while in
some parts of this county it is looking
pretty hard. The buds show out too low
down, and the crop looks pretty doubt
full Some towns show full average
crop. AS whole, the crop will be at
least 10 per cent. short this year." Sun

latest set doesn't seem to grow as it
ought to- | send this as | see it. 1t
looks to me as if the 1903 crop of tobac-
co in this vicinity will be the lightest for
years" Windsor Locks, Ct; "Our to-

of years, and we are satisfied that we
shall have splendid crop from present
appearances, if nothing occurs out of the

THE recent decline of stocks in Wall
street, involving losses running up into
millions, on railway and industrial Sc
curities, is thus commented on by the
Wall Street Journal:
One Of the benefits of the recent liq-
uidation is that it has struck with sever
est force at some of the very men who
most abused the markets These men,
one after the other, will be forced into
the background Their day Of leader
ship is gone, and new men with soberer
minds will take their place. 1t may be
that some who retire when the "boom"
ran into excess, will now return. Surely,
the liquidation will be followed by saner
speculative methods. There will be less
of wild promotions. Already the craze
for industrial consultations has been
checked. The output Of new securities
is reduced, and the process of digesting
'undigested securities" has progressed
with considerable rapidity since Mr..
Morgan coined that felicitious phrase.
The liquidation also carries its impress
sive lesson of the advantages of "A sim
pier life. There will be less of ostenta-
IlOn, less eXpeDSfFeleSS Oh lElng, LII all
classes of society. The workingmen who
have been infamed by the exhibition of
wealth displayed by the new rich, and
have been led into excessive demands by
the belief that they were not getting
their full share of the profits of business,
may now adopt more moderate ideas; as
they see how the liquidation in the stock
market is wiping out the fortunes made
in the speculative boom. THE uses OF
adversely" are often more valuable than
those of prosperity, and out of the pre-
valling period of Wall street depression,
it is reasonable to look for more healthy
conditions, especially as there is every
assurance that the excesses in the specu-
lative side of business have not, to any
large extent, infected and corrupted bus
mess on its mercantile and Industrial
side.

NEW YORK, July Is, 1903.

Home grown tobaccos are still rather
lethargic, and only small deals are being
put through. About 600 cases are re-
ported as sold during the past week, con-
sisting mainly of 1900 and 1901 Pennsyl-
vania Broad leaf and 1901 Zimmer Span
ish.
Sumatra. The demand for new to-
bacco is holding up we'll, and a number
of good sales were made during the week.
In addition to actual sales there have
been an unusually large number of calls
for samples, sign which importers take
as indicative of good fall business.
Havana.-An undercurrent of activity
is felt in this branch of the market.
During the past two weeks one house
alone has charged up over $50 bales,
mostly Remedies, going to several differ
ent buyers, and nearly all importers re-
port strong inquiry and satisfactory
sales.-Leaf.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Some inquiry is made for leaf that is
suitable for wrappers; the broad leaf has
the preference. The amount on hand
that has been force-sweated is extremely
limited, and stiff figures are demanded.
Probably the bulk of such goods is held
by the packers and at pretty steep prices.
OF course, such goods are scarce. When
the packers have gathered up the seat
tered crops. they will be ready to men
ton the prices for which it is sold, but
at present one can only guess at prices.
This fact and the condition of the grow
ing crops indicate high prices for our
goods. So the writer advises growers
who are holders of good 1902 leaf to rest
easy, as every sprig is needed and there
seems to be short supply of that crop.
There are many fields that have plants
that can never mature the crop, for it
was drowned out. The yellow plants,
the good, warm, sunny weather will de-
velop into good crop, but the drowned
out plants never can. All this helps
those who hold their 1907 crops and
good prices await them, SO don't hesitate.
to hold your goods for improved prices.
The old stock is nearly used up.

Another week of good growing wealth
er has given the growing tobacco a good
start toward maturity and topping will
commence in the earliest set fields some
time next week as the buds are beginn-

not nearly so forward, some of it being
but few inches high.
In old goods there is but little doing
aside from the usual retail trade. J. L.

small lots of 1901, and Joseph Grundy
sold quantity of strips.

MIAMIsBURG, o., July II, 1908.

A trip through Montgomery and Dar-,
Ike counties by your correspondent yes
terday and today revealed the fact that
farmers have at last quit planting tobac-
CO for this year. Transplanting was Ger
tainly tedious and wearisome job this
season and a source of great anxiety, for
although all were ready at the usual
time, almost daily rains continued to de-
lay the work until the bulk of the crop
has finally been set out later than ordi-
nary. The weather has been quite warm
for several weeks now, and a good rain
would prove very beneficial in starting
the crop forward.
Buying in the country is still indulged
in. Remnants of the 1900 and 1901 crops
are even in demand.

have found the seed leaf stock woefully

there was absolutely nothing to be had
But the Sumatra market offered some
