LANCASTER NEW ERA, Sept. 8, 1908.

We are glad to be able to record an
other week of very good business in
cased goods The way in which trade is
going ahead is most gratifying. Week
after week comes and goes, and each one
records a very liberal volume of trade.
The crop OF last year is going into the
hands of the manufacturers, leaving
packers time to think over the new crop
and make their arrangements accord
ingly.
The sales that have been reported to
us are as follows: Meiskey & Heiland
sold 318cs Connecticut 1901 goods and
bought 375cs 1902 seedleaf; Walter S.
Bare sold 175cs of 1902, and bought $50
cases, ali of last years crop; Kramer &
Goldberg bought 325cs and sold 45Ocs,
all Of last years goods; Philip Weisman
sold 2O2cs 1902 goods: A. X Mann sold
150cs 1902 goods, and D. Nj. Aument sold
his packing of l4lcs; in all, 2,286cs. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were 1,731cs.
A long drive through Manor township
brought to the writer's notice the best
tobacco, on an average, that he has seen
this year. There the good fields are in
large majority, and the poor ones very
few in number. Around Washington
Borough it is especially fine. The crop
is heavy and about one-half is already
housed The conditions under which it
has been housed were very favorable.
We regret to record the destructive
hail storm that visited the neighborhood
of Kinzer, Intercourse and Leaman
Place On Saturday afternoon, damaging
the tobacco and corn to a very serious
extent. The storm lasted half an hour,
and the hail could be gathered by the
shovelful. The loss to tobacco farmers
will run to thousands of dollars. About
third of the crop in the vicinity of
the storm had been housed: what was
still out was ruined.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Sept. is, 100;


More unreasonable weather for the
harvest nd cure of tobacco crop has
never before been experienced in this
state, and it will almost be a miracle If
the crop comes through in satisfactory
condition. A succession of unusual rain
falls has continually delayed the harvest
and these followed by conditions that in
other years almost invariably produce
shed damage cannot but bring uncer-
tainty as to the result of the cured leaf.
The buying movement in the new
crop has been almost entirely suspended
waiting the outcome. 1t will be
mark of good business judgment to keep
away from the growing sections until
something more definite is determined.
It is believed that 1000 acres would be
conservative estimate of the amount of
the new crop contracted for to this date
and the average price something under
10 cents. There is quite little tobacco
remaining yet in the fields unhar vested
but it only requires few days of clear
ing weather to see the crop practically
secured.
There is little doing in old leaf aside
from sampling which is now quite gen
eral. The report reaches us that the
packings of 1899 and 1901, some 600cs,
put up by McNair Bros at Brodhead
has been sold to Fisher & Fisher.
The shipments out of storage amount
to but 400 cases from this market to all
points for the week

Chas. Northrop received car load of
last years tobacco at the freight house
here last Saturday, shipping to Julius
Vetterlein & Sons at Lancaster, Pa. A
considerable amount of the growing crop
has already been cut and safely hung in
the shed. A few small shipments have
been made from the local warehouses.
The tobacco crops in this vicinity are
looking fine and bid fair to be of better
quality than has been grown in this sec
ton in years A noticeable feature this
season is a general evenness of growth
throughout the fields, few worms, and
the absence of other pests that are gen
erally troublesome about this time OF the
