Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Sales of late show lower figures than
was thought possible, in view of the light
stocks in the market One might sup
pose there was glut in the market, and
every one forced to sell at low prices, or
else assort and pack, as we'll as hold for
the sweat, and market later. The sale
of force-sweat leaf began this year fully
a month earlier than ever before. The
prices generally are kept perfectly secret.
We know that Dight-colored wrappers
run from 80c to 81 pound. This year
the broad leaf seems to be the leading
variety, and is the first sought for and
commands the highest price. To 60
back to the growing of seed leaf would
compel the changing of many tobacco
curing barns, as the tiers are too close
together, by from four to six inches, un-
less the plants should be topped lower
than we used to do years ago.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Wethersfield, CT. "Our farmers are
quite busy stripping tobacco and report
very good quality. | hear of one buyer
looking around some, but have heard of
no sales" Amherst Agricultural Col
lege: 1--WE laid 10 plots of land. Each
plot was enriched by different fertilizers.
The plants were all set the same day and
were cared for the same. Our object
was to test the quality OF the leaf pro-
duced. On some of the plots coarse,
large leaf was grown of low grade; on
other plots the leaf had dead, papery
look; still others, when burned, showed
a dark ash. AS the plots were of the
same SOIL the difference in the quality
must have been a result of the different
fertilizers used Hipsdale, N. H.: Il

LANCAsTER NEW ERA, Dec. 80, 1902

A tour Of the tobacco warehouses this
morning was fruitless in bringing to
light any transactions of consequence
among the packers Indeed, they did
not seem to expect anything else, and
accepted the situation very resignedly.
Tbs fact is, the year has, on the whole,
been very fair one. The usual amount
of business has been done by all, while
some rub their hands as they tell you
they sold more tobacco than ever before
in a single year. The ioobers, too. got
their share of business. The great out
put of cigars during the year called for
an unusual amount of raw leaf, and the
jobbers furnished good deal of it. On
the whole, therefore, there is no cause
for dissatisfaction. The trusts have not
yet driven the packers and cigar manu-
facturers out of business, and it is hard
ly likely that they will, so all hands can
look forward into the new year with
courage and hope.
The sale of this years crop still con-
tinues. We give some recent sales made
in various parts of the county:

The Fourth Of July rains were vel
come after all. The heavy prNeipl-
tation Of the past few days has caused
the big reservoir being completed by
the city to prove that the scheme Of
:sa.po.nding water draiaed from 5000
acres Of mountain land is a gratifying
success. Yesterday the big reservoir
covered sey yenty-hve acres Of land.
The registry at the dam showed about
fifteen feet OF water in the deepest
places.
A notable impression created in the
mind Of the visitor is the lack Of de
bris that would ordinarily be expected
to noat into the big body Of water.
This is accounted for by the precau-
tions taken by the contractors to
cleanse the surface Of all wood and
debris that would pollute the water
supply OF the city. From present con.
ditions Of the work it is possible for
the water supply Of the city to be
turned on permanently not later than
October.

STREET CAR CHANGE
WHY THE COMPANY WANTS TO

The matter of selling o franchise for

will come up tomorrow afternoon be-
fore the joint street committee of the
general council at the city hall. The
car tracks now turn oct Bernheim av-
enue and it is desired to straighten
the track out the Cairo road to Row.
landtown.
Some Of the people who now live
along the line have protested against
the change. The street car officials
claim that they cannot understand
why there should be any obie ction.
No one along the present line would
have to wals over one block further,
shonld the route be changed, while by
the change a much larger number Of
people would be benefited. In addition
the present tracks psss along consider
able property that belongs to minors,
and probably cannot be developed for
several years, or until they become Ct
age, while that along the proposed
route would likely be greatly devel-
oped should the car lines pass through
