DismantIers Find Ancient Coins, Both
American and Foreign.
An old Spanish silver coin. with its
date worn off by a century or more's
use was found by workmen who were
tearing down an old building in Ma
navunk. and owing to that fact it is
probeble that the expense of disman-
ding the remainder of the structure
win be nominal.

time the laborers found it difficult to

LANCASTER New ERA, Feb. II, 1908.
The packers and dealers generally are
unanimous in the declaration that the
past week has been very dull one. The
business has been almost exclusively
confined to the jobbers, who supply the
manufacturing trade, and even that
branch of the business is no livelier than
it should be. The following sales are re-
ported: The Paules Tobacco Company
sold 49lcs 1900 seed leaf and 124cs Ha-
vana seed of 1898 crop.
What the trade in cased goods lacks
is, in measure, made up in the pur~
chase and delivery of new goods that is,
the 1902 crop. There appears to have
been very decided mis- estimate hereto
fore of the extent to which that crop
was bought up. About the first of the
year the estimates were that less than
5000 acres remained in growers hands.
That was no doubt an error. Buyers.
have been busy ever since in small
way, and they have not picked it all up
yet. The country newspapers speak of
many unsold lots, and dealers are out
every day gathering up the tail end Of
the crop. We give few recent sales:

MIAMIsBURG, O., Feb. is. 1908.

Buying Of the 1902 thinner last week
was not alone spirited, but also exciting.
The regular buying force of the large
packing concerns was augmented by the
addition of extra buyers, and as the race
waxed from hot to hotter the price was
also increased in relative proportion.
Competition became SO fierce that in a
few days the price was advanced from s
to 10c through. A large amount was
contracted in a surprisingly short period
of time, in fact it is believed the amount
secured at the higher figures is much In
excess of what was desired. At any rate,
nearly all of the buyers have been with
drawn, operations are almost at stand
still, and farmers who turned deaf ear
to &c would now cheerfully accept it. A
respectable quantity of seedleaf was also
booked at prices ranging from 5 to &c
through, but the great rush was for
thinner. 1t is believed that half of the
entire crop has been bought up.
Receiving is now engaging the atten-
tion of packers, streams of farm wagons
laden with tobacco being almost daily in
evidence on our streets.
The local warehouses are beginning to
start their forces of spriggers to work,
and soon the entire tobacco industry will
be in full blast.
Besides their plant at Hamilton, and a
branch at Franklin, the Louis New
bCrgh Co. expect to operate force of
worEpeople in Miamsburg also.-News,

New YORK, Feb. 81, 1903.

1t was the dullest week in the market
of the current year. The exceptional
dullness was undoubtedly due to the Sc
we're winter weather which caught not
only this city, but was prevailing
throughout the larger part of the coun-
try. The severe cold weather not only
prevented people from going about and
attending to their business, but interfer-
ed also with the shipping and regular
delivery of the mails, and consequently
curtailed business in all directions. But,
as one swallow does not make summer,
SO one dull week is no criterion for the
condition of the leaf trade. In fact, all
signs point to much larger and more
active business than even that of last
year, although last years business was
at certain periods decried as sounding
almost the, deathknell of the leaf trade
Nevertheless the figures published by
the United States Tobacco Journal in its
issue of last week showed the most en-
couraging increase in the consumption
of foreign leaf which is but one-fifth the
entire consumption of cigar leaf 1902
recorded the largest consum ption of Su-
matra in single year in about dozen
years and the largest consumption of
Havana leaf in the entire history Of the
trade. In other words, the actual con-
sumption, not the importation, of 10000
bales of Sumatra and 10000 bales of
Havana in single year has never been
equaled before, much less exceeded, and
as our cigar industry is increasing its
output this year over that of last, the
consumption of cigar leaf will have to
increase also. In fact, the market has
been very active since the first of the
year up to the day when the snow bliz-
zard and cold wave struck it, and it has
been particularly SO in Havana tobacco,
for only lately sales of five or six hun
dred bales have been made by two i'm
porting houses to two individual factor
les, and some Havana houses have in
their January sales beaten their own
previous record. If such favorable con-
ditions prevail a temporary dullness ac-
counted for by natures interference has
no special signifcance.-Jou

About the same conditions prevail at

in the continuation of the buying move
ment. Buyers are hunting out the un-

There evidently is more old leaf NOV

learn the sales of single dealer for the

The work of receiving the new crop
goes steadily on keeping in advance of
the warehouse needs. 1t is believed
something better than half the crop is
now already cased.

be taken up "If this bill passes" said
Prof. Henry, 1--WE shall conduct series
of experiments in the growing of differ
ent varieties, the fertilizing, and the cur

Der of varieties, and it will be our pur-
pose to find which is the best adapted
to this climate, and which is the most
profitable to the grower. The fertillzing
of the soil will be an important phase OF
the experiments. By study and investi-
tigation we shall be able to determine
just what elements the best fertilizer for
this climate must contain and just what
quantity produces the best results. In
Pennsylvania some time ago the tobacco
men were troubled with fungus growth
on the leaf while it was being cured.
Science stepped in and after some ex-
periments succeeded in devising meth
cd of curing that prevented this fungus
growth. This alone proved saving of
100000 year in the value of the crop"
