Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

In regard to the hail storm in the
Connecticut valley, as near as / can
learn, not much damage was done in
Franklin or Hampshire counties The
storm commenced in the western part of
Hampden.
To quote from our correspondents:
Feeding Hills, Mass "The severe hail
storm of last Saturday was great fnan-
cial calamity to the tobacco growers of
this section. The large growers had
their crops about half housed. Two or
three of the smaller ones had finished
and others had not commenced when the
unprecedented hailstorm in all it's fury
came upon them. Such storm had not
been known here for fifty years, and the
farmers hardly knew which way to turn.
Some have now finished cutting their
badly torn crop, and others have plowed
it under. The crop was a little later
than usual owing to the cool summer,
but. since the warmer weather came it
had developed nicely, and the farmers
were letting it stand as long as possible,
otherwise the most of it would have been
housed before the storm" East Whately
Mass: "All the tobacco is now in the
barns, and is coming down nicely and is
curing down fast. Mr.. Case has been
through here looking for old tobacco,
but hear of no sales" Conway, Mass:
There is only little tobacco standing
now. What has been cut and hung
three or four weeks is curing down
nice color and looks like fine leaf, but
we cannot tell how it will turn out yet.
The crop is coming in much better than
was expected, and if we can have good
weather to cure it we ought to get a
good price" Hinsdale, n. H., Sept. IA:
mo sales to report. Most of the early
set tobacco is housed in fine condition.
No hail or frost. The late set has i'm
proved wonderfully in the past few days.
If the warm weather holds few days
longer it will be up to the early set"
Northfeld, Mass: The tobacco is all
housed and is about the average crop.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Sept. Is, 1903.
The condition of the local trade con-
tinues to be of the most encouraging
character. There is an active demand
for 1902 goods, and packing after pack
ing is bought up at rate that promises
to clear the warehouses in short time
To a lesser degree the 1901 crop is also
finding purchasers, and perhaps when
last years crop is about closed out buy
ers will devote more attention to the
older goods.
The sales that have been reported to
us are as follows: Memo M. Fry bought
4OOcs and sold 2OG all of the 1902 crop;
Walter S. Bare bought 125cs and sold

caution should be used in treating it.,
but it seems as if no amount OF expert
ence will teach some people. Some
growers, we hear, have been compelled
to build fires in their sheds to avoid pole
burn. If they have to suffer there will
be no one to blame but themselves

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDeERToN. Wis. Sept. %, 1908.

EDGERToN, Wis, Sept %, 1903.
The situation regarding the condition
of the new crop has greatly improved
during the week. The harvest has been
completed and all the growing fields
have been secured without any serious
damage from the frosts that first marked
vegetation on the morning of the 18th.
The warm. pleasant weather of the week
has proven especially favorable to the
rapid curing of the hanging leaf putting
an end to further dangers of shed dam
age. Samples from the early harvested
portion of the crop can now be secured
that will indicate the probable character
of the crop.
There is not much buying of the new
crop going on at present. A few sales
are recorded during the week in the
Vernon county district to the local deal
ers at from to 10 cents. The indica-
tions for general movement are not en-
couraging until the curing is further ad-
vanced.
Considerable inquiry is developing for
cured leaf and a number of important
trades ere under advisement but not
closed. A number of out of town buy
ers are in the state inspecting dealers
samples. Something like J50cs of 1901
tobacco have been picked up from pack
ers by III. w. Child during the week.
Sampling of the 1902 packings is still
going on and the damage found seems
likely to cut something of figure in GER
tain cases. The low grades are especially
affected to larger extent than for some
years past.
The shipments out of storage reach
450 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

New York.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 100:

NEW YORK, Sept. l9, 1903.
The market is keeping up with the
normal conditions of a busy season.
Trading is going on actively in all types
that are sampled, and demand is brisk
for types the sampling of which is being
put off by the packers until the cooler
season is settled Altogether an air of
satisfaction prevails throughout the mar
ket, such as has not been noticeable for
many year. The Trust scare seems to
have vanished completely, and the growl
about prices subsided into inaudible
murmur; in fact the entire market seems
to have reconciled itself to the fact
preached and predicted SO repeatedly by
the U. S. Tobacco Journal, that no mat
ter how the crops may have turned out,
and what they may have cost the pack
ers, they are sure to find quick consump-
tion at full value because the supply of
leaf is far below the actual requirements
of the ever increasing output of our ci-
gar industry. The Sumatra market is
kept brisk by the demands for wrapper
leaf, which it alone can furnish in suffi-
cient quantity, and the Havana market
is kept busy with demands for old filters
and factory Vegas of the new crop. A
considerable amount of both types was
absorbed by buyers.

EVANSVILLE, WIS, Sept. %, 1908.


After careful investigation we are con-
vinced that the frost that visited this
section Friday did but very little dam
age, SO slight as to be hardly considered.
In the first place there was but little to-
bacco in the fields at the time of the
frost. Second, the frost was so light
that it did no damage except on low
ground and caught only now and then a
small piece. What remained in the
fields was nearly all ripe and not easily
susceptible to damage by frost. Several
warm days have made it possible for the
farmers to harvest the outstanding por-
tions and the tobacco may be said to be
all in the sheds. The several days of
good weather have had very beneficial
effect on the hanging tobacco and the
danger of shed burn is over for the pres
ent. AS far as can be ascertained the
tobacco is curing out very satisfactorily,
especially the last few days.
The buying of the new crop has ceased
entirely and there are no prospects of
another start very soon. Around the
warehouses dullness is the prevailing
feature and but very little is being done
except some sampling.

NOTE BO0K SKETCHES.

The harvest of the tobacco crop that
has been delayed and prolonged beyond
the usual limit is at last finished, and
secured, too, without any material dam
age from frosts While the frost of last
Thursday night left it's markings upon
corn in low places, very little of the to-
bacco standing was touched in the least.
The past week has brought the first
really satisfactory curing weather of the
season, with the result that the hanging
leaf has been curing down very rapidly.
The early cutting is now very generally
cured down to the midrib and affords an
opportunity to learn what may be eX-
pected of the character of the new crop.
The cured leaf promises to be unusually
thin and the early portion at least of re-
markably bright colors, Some shed
damage has undoubtedly occurred dur
ing the prevalence Of the bad weather
bu. the extent is not as yet ascertainable.
Growers by watching their sheds care
fully we're able to prevent in many cases
serious losses. Danger from this cause
has now probably passed as the curing
is beyond the stage where these results
occur.

THE NEW TOWING APPLIANCE
NehaIem River Logs Shipped in
to the Columbia

The tug yosburg arrived yesterday
from Nehalem with 10000 feet OF logs
IN tow. She started from the Nehalem
river with 70 logs but lost II on the trip
up to the mouth OF the Columbia river.
4 few Of the chains were old and de-
fectiye and would not Withstand the
strain.
The vosburg Is using a new towing
appliance that may, IL II should prove
successful, cause "a temporary furry
in the price Of Logs on the Columbia.
The logs are separately attached to the
towing gear and are not made into
RATS, as has heretofore been the GUS
tom. The experiments thus far tried
have been quite successful. and great
results are looked for. II Is said the
vosburg brought the second raft out Of
the Nehalem when the bar was break
ing badly, but that the trip was made
Owing TO the ghaliow entrance to the
Nehalem river and the uncertain con-
dItion OF the bar there II is almost inn
possible for vessel TO get into the
river. In consequence of this. there is
no demand for the logs that are placed
In the river at Nehalem, and the price
seldom exceeds 81. 80 per thousand feet.
on thecolumbia spruce logs bring from
1850 TO $500. II win thus be seen that
IL logs can be towed to the Columbia
at mderate cost, local prices may come
down. The millmen would buy from
the loggers and thereby effect big
saving.
The logs thus far brought up by the
vosburg have been sold to the Clatsop
Mill Company. 1t is the purpose to
give the new towing appliance thor
ough test.

GENERAL BLACK ONLY CHOICE
Mr.. May Reports a Glorious Time
at Annual Encampment

c. a. May who has just returned
from the annual national encampment
OF the g. A. r.. at San Francisco, re-
ports that a glorious reception was ac-
corded the veterans by the people Of
the Bay City. Mr.. May was among
those who went to San Jose on the ex-
cursion especially provided for the del
egates entertainment and the
trip was one of the enjoyable events
OF the entire convention. While Gen.
eral Miles met with most cordial re-
ception by the delegates, Mr.. May
states that he did not at any time stand
the least show for election to the COM
membership. This Is accounted for by
the fact that Miles has not heretofore
been closely affiliated with the G.. A,
r his active public life preventing him
from giving his attention to It. The
western delegates were for Black to
a man and his election was not disput-
ed.
on his return from San Francisco Mr.
May found waiting for him an invita-
tion from his old regiment of the Civil
war to join the reunion to be held at
Jersey City on October7, next The
regiment Is Scotts hundred, Of
the Eleventh New York cavalry, Mr..
May regrets that he will be unable to
attend the reunion and will write to
his old comrades in arms to that effect.
