Tobacco For France.
The Baltimore Sun of Yesterday says;

The Baltimore Sun of Yesterday says;
Information of the awarding OF the
contracts for Tobacco for this year by the
French Government was received in Bal
timore yesterday. Dealers in Maryland
leaf tobacco were much concerned be-
cause it was not included in the contracts
made last year. They have been more
fortunate this year, $500 hogsheads being
contracted for.
Messrs. Henry Lauts & Co.,.2s7 East
German street, AVE received the contract
for about 1, 700 hogsheads Of Ohio tobacco
This was a surprise to Messrs. j: D.
Kremelberg & Co., shipping and com
mission merchants, 1O5 East German SITS.
who had been supplying the French
Government with Ohio tobacco for some
years. They are buyers for M. Rose &
Co., of Paris, who had the contract last
year.
Of the $500 hogsheads of Maryland to-
bacco to be furnished a contract for one
third, or 1888 hogsheads, was awarded tc
K~ossenty, Fills & Co., of Marselles, who
are represented here by Messrs. Edward
G. Geyer & Co., Z West Pratt street. Thu
contract for the other two-thirds, or $685.
hogsheads was awarded to Messrs. A
Schumacher & Co., 5 South Gay street
This is only a little over half the guam
tity of Maryland tobacco contracted fol
in 1900 and 1901, but the $500 hogsheads
represent in value between $400,O 600 anc
$3.50, 900, as stated by a member of the
firm of Henry Lauts & Co. The con
tract for Ohio tobacco represents in value
about $1O0, 900.
The contracts were thrown open tc
competitive bidding and call for the de-
livery of a certain portion every three
months during the year.
For the first time in a long period the
contract of the French Government last
year did not call for Maryland tobacco
but specified only Ohio, Kentucky and
Virginia stock. This was regarded
as very unusual and no definite cxplana'
ton was ever given. Bids had been asked
DIS usual. W. OluCCIo VI tuC 1ASASA
Government were in Baltimore about the
time the contract was awarded, and ii
developed afterward that they arranged
to buy Maryland tobacco in the open
market. 1t is said that during the year
about Is, 900 ~hogsheads were purchased
for the French Government, most of il
through Henry Lauts & Co., and A
Schumacher & Co. This experiment
evidently did not prove entirely s~atisfac'
tory.
As the quantity contracted for this
year is much less than is generally usec
by the French Government, it is probable
that more will be purchased in the marke1
during the year. 1t was said that fol
some time the French reggie was dissatis'
fed with the asserting and packing O.
Maryland tobacco, and dealers believe
this had something to do with the cutting
out of the contract last year. The Mary
land crop averages about $4,000 hogs
heads a year.

beginning to affect the crops. In com

"Dry weather is beginning to be- ser

many localities in the Middle States art
beginning to be cut short and the large
markets, like New York, are feeling tn
pinch.
"In Maryland, unless rain falls soon

"A Farm Project For Cheltenham.

Mr.. Nathaniel G.. Grasty, secretary to
the Supervisors of City Charities has re-
turned from a thorough inspection OF
Booker T. Washington's school, at
Tuskegee, Ala.
Mr.. Grasty spent three days there on his
way home from the National Conference OF
Charities and Corrections, held in Atlanta
last week. He said that the purpose OF
his visit to Tuskegee was to learn some
thing of the work of the school with a
view to suggesting impro vements in the
system of employment at the Colored
House of Reformation at C~heltenham, this
county. Mr.. Grasty paid particular at
%tention to the farming feature at Wash
in gton's school. and was very much i'm
pressed with it. So much so, in fact, thai
he will recommend a similar system for
Cheltenham, where a speciality is now
made of Gaming and recaning chairs.
"We have been considering farm work
at Cheltenham for sometime" said Mr..
Grasty. "The occupation of chair Gaming
is practically closed to the colored youth
after he leaves the institution and m
to the city to earn a livelihood. The
directors now desire to give him a more
useful occupation, and it is quite certain
that farm work will be taken up. In
addition to the text books on farming,
implements, ETC., the boys will be given
practical instruction as to planting seed,
harvesting and farm work in general.
This will afford the boys an opportunity
of securing good homes in the counties
and prepare themselves for a useful oc-
cupation all through life"
Mr.. Grasty had several talks with
Booker T. Washington, and witnessed a
big denomination at the college on his
return from a two month trip through
the North. Mr.. Grasty said it was one of
the most memorable gatherings he ever
witnessed. About 1000 persons were
present-white and colored-and among
the numerous floral tributes there was a
large chair of roses for Washington. He
crushed the roses when he took a seat in
the chair. Il found Washington to be a
man of great tact" said Mr.. Grasty. "1n
his address at his reception he told the
colored people that they must learn to
know their rightful place in the world
and must always live quietly, peacefully
and unostentatiously.
"Washington was delighted" Mr..
Grasty went on to say, "to learn that we
proposed to take up farming work at
C%heltenham. He regards the farm as the
future for the dependent colored boy, and
feels that it offers him a more useful
occupation than anything else he can take

Condition of Crops.

The Weather Bureau Tuesday issued
the following weekly summary of crop
conditions:
All Northern and Central districts east
of the Rocky Mountains experienced
highly favorable temperature during the
week ended May 1S, the Central Valleys,
Lake Region and New England receiv-
ing ample and much-needed warmth,
while in the Southern States it was too
cool for favorable growth. The general
absence of rain in New England and the
Middle Atlantic States and over a large
part of the Lake Region and Ohio Valleys
has intensified drouth in these districts,
in consequence of which crops nave made
slow progress and planting and germina-
ton have been greatly hindered. The
east Gulf States and portions of the lower
Missouri and lower Mississippi Valleys
have suffered from excessive rains. On
the Pacific Coast the week was rather
cool, with no rain over the greater part
of California. There were generally
good rains in Washington, with light
showers over a part of Oregon, but more
rain is needed in the last named State.
Corn planting has been delayed by
rains in the States Of the lower Missouri
Valley and by drouth in the Ohio Valley,
Middle Atlantic States and portions of
the lake region. Planting is well. advanc-
ed in the Dakotas, and, Notwithstanding
the wet soil in Iowa and Missouri, has
been vigorously pushed in those States,
where it is terminating satisfactorily. In
Nebraska, the Ohio Valley and Middle
Atlantic States a large part of the crop is
yet to be planted, not more than half the
area having been seeded in Ohio and
Nebraska.
Winter Wheat has made favorable pro-
gress in Nebraska and Kansas and has
been improved by rains in portions of
Missouri. Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas,
Tennessee and Kentucky but in Southern
Missouri and in the States northward Of
the Ohio river and in the Middle Allan
tic States the crop has suffered further
deterioration. 1t is heading as far mort h
as Central Kansas and the Southern por-
tions of Indiana and Ohio.
In the Spring Wheat region the wea-
ther conditions have been favorable for
termination and growth of spring Wheat
which is coming up to good stands with
vigorous plants. In the northern Rocky
Mountain States the growth Of spring
Wheat has been Slow in Washington and
Oregon the outlook is promising.
In the Missouri Valley, Oklahoma and
Texas a general Improvement in the con.
dition Of Oats is indicated, but in the
Ohio Valley, Middle Atlantic States and
the greater part of the Lake Region
the condition of the Drop is less favorable,
owing to the effects of drouth.
Considerable Tobacco has been trans.
planted in Tennessee and Western Ken
lucky, but elsewhere there has been no
opportunity for setting, owing to dryness
Plants are generally plentiful, but are
now overgrown in some States,
