In the morning madam years a walking cos- tune the skirt just escaping the ground. This Is of some dark mixture, and the somber effect is relieved by light sailor hat and white cheviot waist worn with q stock and tie of the same material. No more frilly waists and elbow sleeves, you know. In the afternoon she puts on . more elaborate coat and skirt costume with a train and a soft. rather plain blouse of all over lace or silk Her dressy gown is matched by her hat. and both gloves and parasol follow suit.
 On dark days she will substitute the white shirt waist for one of silk worn with a neat stock and little white turn over collar. This collar is held together in the back by a fancy clasp or pin of en. amel matching the waist. In every detail she is particular.
 One of the illustrations in this letter shows a new tailor made hat designed to go with shirt waists. It is of rough brownish straw with the brim curving up on both sides and the underside trim med with a black wing. The crown Is sim ply encircled by band of velvet ribbon.

The Modish veilinr.

Yelling, particularly in the fins black weaves. is the height of fashion. It makes very small tailor mades, or, rather, fan cy coat and skirt costumes, to be worn lace hats. One such costume designed for Easter had a skirt laid in bands of shir- ring high in the back and dipping down toward the front. The jacket fell in soft folds to within an inch of the waist in the back and had long. tabiixe points in front. The fabric was shirred on the shoulders to form the loose hanging eff feet. and edging the shirring was a gar giving the effect of a shoulder cape.
 This reminds me that fringe Is all the rage and may be seen in every shade of the rainbow, dyed to match the different cloths.

While trading holds its own, the ques-

looms up now, and more as problem
Very little force-sweated leaf is in prep
aration and the chances are that still
less will be Forthcoming. But the cigar
industry needs wrappers. Of course
there is sufficient supply of Sumatra in
stock, but the old Fabian policy of hesi-
fancy seems to have taken hold of the
manufacturer, even to the evident in
jury of his business. While he needs
only to stretch out his hands to get at
the most serviceable wrapper leaf, he
hesitates because he thinks he may get
a better bargain from the new Sumatra
crop. Thus the near approach of the
first Inscriptions is retarding trade
which ought to be very brisk just now,
and it is yet very doubtful whether the
new Sumatra will be a better bargain,
for certain it is that the prices at the
first few inscriptions are, as rule, al

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Everybody in the tobacco business
here is talking of the proposed combina-
tion of growers to assert, pack and sell
their own tobacco. Two meetings have
already been held and another is to take
place next Monday, at which it is ex-
pected that the plans formulated will be
adopted and a start made toward the
end in view. AS most of the available
leaf has been absor bed the farmers have
plenty of time to consider the question.
They are all in favor of having the
scheme tried, but, with characteristic
caution, many growers prefer to have
the experimenting done by some one
else. The plans stipulate that no or
ganization will be effected unless at least
5000 acres are pledged and stock sub
scribed in the ratio of one share for each
acre. What makes mary hesitate to
join the movement is the fact that when
man raises an exceptionally fine crop
of leaf he never has any difficulty in dis
posing of it at above the average market
price, and expert growers do not see how
they can do better under the co-opera-
tive scheme. But there is large num-
Der of growers who believe they should
receive more for their crops and will
gladly welcome any scheme looking to-
ward that result. In the line of busi-
ness sales are few and far between.
There is still plenty of tobacco in the
hands Of farmers, but they will do their
own asserting and may possibly have it
packed.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Mdrcn lU, lJU0.
Dealers report only moderate de-
mand for cased tobacco. If there was
any considerable quantity of old goods
on hand, it would no doubt find ready
sale, but as the supplies of years prior to
1901 are about exhausted and the 1901
crop is not yet called for, dealers find
trade dull. The 1901 crop is also in
quired for, but not at all as packers
would like to see. We know of one town
in the county, where, out Of more than
dozen packers, but single one has
closed out his 1901 goods. The sales
that have been brought to our Lotice
are 375cs of 1900 and 1901 goods sold by
B. F. Good & Co., 50cs sold by Jacob
Mayer, 163cs sold by Meiske & Holland,
and Toes by John D. Skiles; in all, 663cs
For the corresponding week of last year
593cs were sold.
The new crop comes pouring into the
warehouses, faster, perhaps, than it has
come in years, and all are crowded with
the weed. The last two months has
proved good deal of a surprise. Sew
eral months ago it was thought the crop
was nearly all bought up. Men are still
in the field, and find they can get all
they want. AS an example Cf how it is
rolling into the packing houses, we may
mention that I. Ell. Weaver in two days
of last week received 100000 pounds.
