In domestic leaf business has been
rather quiet. No transactions of impor-
tance have been reported.
Sumatra.-The first consignments OF
the new leaf have been the cynosure of
all eyes since their arrival few days
ago. After careful inspection the gen
eral verdict is that the high price is the
tobacco's greatest affiiction. The goods
certainly have 'style" and, though some
look little "dryish," they develop won
derfuHy in casing. So far as seen, the
yield is very fair and the colors satisfac-
tory, except for the scarcity of light
shades However, any of the better
grades of old goods which may be in the
market will not suffer by comparison
with the new.
A cablegram received today from Am
sterdam states that among the lots to be
offered on the 9th inst. there is some
very fine tobacco, which is far superior
to any yet shown at the inscriptions. -
Havana.-There has been firm de-
mand for Havana during the past week,
but sales were limited. Leaf.

There has been no change in the con-
dition of the local market, no buyers
having been riding. A. Heinke returned
Monday from Ohio where he purchased
for his firm about 200 cases which will
be shipped here and handled at their
warehouses.
Delphi Falls-The tobacco market is
very quiet here, no sales having been
made. Buyers have offered cents in
the bundle for 1908 crop and claim large
purchases at that figure. The, growers
have decided to hold onto their crops at
present with a view of getting better
prices The acreage will not be SO large
this season as last year.
News comes from Chemung Valley
that tobacco growers through that rich
and fertile section are getting discour-
aged over the profitless crops of the last
few years, and many of them are think
ing seriously of turning their attention
to other products. Year by year the
conditions have become more dishearten-
ing, and the low prices of the present
season will add a weight that few farm
ers feel like CARRYING through another
tobacco crop. All signs point plainly to
great reduction in the acreage of to-
bacco which will be planted next sum
mer The prospects even of good crop
are not alluring to the farmers. Last
summers planting was smaller than the
previous one, and the crop turned out
poor on account Of wet weather - Ga

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

A farmer who is considered quite we'll
to do sold his crop of tobacco at low
figure to one Of the buyers not far from
this place. The crop has sorted out
more than 40 per cent. light wrappers.
1t was claimed by men who are good
judges that it would be good crop for
any year. But the cry had gone out
that it was the poorest crop raised in a
number of years, and he thought that if
other crops were poor, his Of course was
poor, too Now, it would have profited
that man if he had assorted his own
crop. That is one instance; have heard
of others. If a grower would go and
work in some shop he might be better
able to judge of the quality of the crop
the next time. Another grower sold for
sc per pound. If he had shaken it out
and tied it in two kinds, binders and
filters, am of the opinion that the bind
ers alone would have more than paid the
bill; besides, he would have sold his
time spent in doing the work.

LANCASTER New ERA, April 5, 1904.
The local market, so far as cased goods
are concerned, are still inactive. We OBJ
serve, hawever, that the trade is talking
more OF the 1901 crop, which, in reality,
is about all the domestic grown goods in
stock here now. In addition to the
small lots sold, we understand that dick
ers for several large holdings are also in
process of consummation. The sales as
have been reported to US are 81 cases of
1902 goods sold by j. d. Skiles; 34cs
19023 goods sold by H. Stein; 14S cases
1901 goods sold by |. FL. Weaver; and 121
cases of 1902 crop sold by Kramer 81
Goldberg; in all, $40 cases. For the cor
responding week of last year the sales
were 692 cases.
The trade in new goods-l903 crop
continues very active, the deliveries at
the warehouses last week having prob
ably been the largest of the season.
Pretty nearly all the packers have taken
hand, and some of them have latterly
bought quite heavily. The prices for the
best grades hold up wonderfully well,
and this is also the kind most in favor
with the buyers. The poorer goods are
SO far are not receiving much attention.
While it is admitted there is great deal
of poor stuff in the crop, there is much
more that will prove very acceptable to
manufacturers.

But routine business is to be record
ed in the market this week. The de-
mand for all types of leaf is steady, but
being for immediate needs it is, of course,
limited to small transactions. In other
words, our market is not idle and all
odds and ends are brought forward to do
service. The pressing needs of an avail
able binder stock will tell later on. The
first shipments of the new Sumatra crop
are being subjected to very close inspec-
ton and while sample bales have been
freely taken, no definite large invest
ments have been made in it by manu-
facturers so far. The Havana market
remains in healthy condition. Old
stocks are in free demand and large fac
tories are still stocking up with it. A
sale of 500 bales to one of them was
closed last week and others are likely to
follow the example.-Journal.

MIAMIsBURG, O., April 8, 1904.

Many of the farmers have finished
stripping their tobacco, while some have
yet a small portion of their crops to strip.
With the exception of crop or two here
and there which have been sold, no buy
ing in this vicinity has yet been attempt
ed, and packers and buyers give it as
their opinion that buying in general is
not likely to be inaugurated very soon,
possibly not until the crop has sweated
on the farm. The extra manipulation to
which the leaf is now necessarily sub
jected in the packing houses carries
with it so much more risk than the
warehouse handling of former years.
that under favorable circumstances the
shrinkage is considerable, and since
some farmers used water on their tobac-
co and the bulk of it was not stripped
until after the holidays, the space of
time between stripping and packing has
been SO short that the period usually al
lowed for curing out in bulk has been
crowded out almost entirely, and pack
ers deem it extra hazardous to buy be-
fore the tobacco has passed through the
first or water sweat.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, April 15, 1904.
The buying movement is progressing
quietly throughout the tobacco growing
districts and in the aggregate great
many thousand cases are being lifted
every week. It is quite probable that
better than half the crop has been sold
to date. Prices are low-the cheapest
growers have accepted in years-but the
farmers have become reconciled to the
conditions and trading is generally ef-
fected quietly. A few sales reaching us
show about the average price paid for
selections, very large per cent. going at
still cheaper figures:

The deliveries at the warehouses at
the packing points have been larger this
week, as growers are anxious to dispose
of their tobacco before the farm work
gets crowding.
Several car loads have been taken in
at this market by Chas. Sweeney for
Marquisee, and shipped to Lancaster,
Pa, in the bundle.
Not much has been done towards
starting the seed beds for another crop
as the season has been cold and back
ward to date.
The shipments out of storage reach
is car loads, 800 cases, from this market
to all points for the week past.

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, April IA, 1904.

While report after report has been
sent out from the tobacco fields of Con-
necticut and other eastern centers to the
effect that shade-grown tobacco has not
been decided success and the expert
ment would be abandoned for time at
least, it is not so with the experiment of
growers who have undertaken the task
in this section, for there is not more
excellent crop of shade-grown or other
wise to be found in the northern tobacco
growing district than the 1908 crop of
Sumatra that is undergoing the sweat
in the warehouse of S. B. Keddles in
this city. When this crop has reached
what it will eclipse anything that has
been grown in the North for many years.
Its aroma is sfascinating and the texture
of the leaf is the finest, and Mr.. Heddles
may feel himself grandly compensated
sfor his untiring efforts of experiment.
The crop is valued in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
AS to activity of the trade for the past
week it shows little improvement over
the preceding one and it is predicted
that better times are in sight at not
far distant day. The gloom that has
hung over the market mere of late has
been something that the merchant has
tried not to swallow and they are MAX
ing every effort to keep their heads
above water in spite of the seasons
drawbacks.

tie of the old leaf and sold this week a

The indications now point to back

good many tobacco beds had been laid,
while we have yet to hear of single
case where seed has been sown. The
soil in some places is yet frozen and the
farmers have been able to do but little
in the fields. There promises to be
hustling times as soon as the warmer
days come.

MEN WHO LOOK ALIKE.

Zone of the strongest pieces of
evidence against an accused man
when there is any doubt connected
with the identity of the criminal is
the statement of any one or more
witnesses that he is the man; /

yet despite the awful weight this
often has in deciding the result of
trial it is in reality weak and falla-
cious and would fall to pieces if
good, practical test were made of
the witness alleged remarkable per-
spicuity," said the man who is fond
of criminal research. II think it has
been the experience. of nearly every
man who has Travelled any to meet
with numerous people who will take
him for some one else. At least a
dozen times in my career has this
occurred. This has been in broad
daylight, on the street or some public
place where with clear vision and
unhampered thought man does not
know if I am myself or some one
else. Change the conditions-sun-
shine for darkness, an ordinary street
scene for one of crime, perhaps muir

and mind disturbance, and say if it
be possible for man who has caught
perhaps one moments view of the
fleeing criminal to go into the witness
stand and identify the man. Sup
pose we were to advertise for three
or four men bearing close resem-
blance to the prisoner (and they
would not be very hard to find in
a city of this size), dress them ex-
actly like the accused and let them

CLEVER WOMEN.

Why do men dislike clever women?
is question that many clever women
have felt impelled to ask themselves.
They might go still further and ask
themselves why most women also
dislike clever women.
The reason is the same in either
case, for sex does not make any spec
cial difference in a matter like this.
What both men and women are look
ing for is the pleasant, lovable COM
panion, and clever women have a
way of not being companionable.
There is apt to be too much self con-
sciousness about them for one thing
too much "I." They cannot re-
sist the temptation of saying bright
things, and the effect comes to be
a little like that of an acrobat who
turns somersaults continuously. Most
clever women feel clever. That is
probably what ofends SO in them.
No one finds the assumption of su-
periority in another lovable, whether
it be superiority of social standing,
personal appearance or mentality.
People can be as important as they
like, as beautiful and as clever as
they like, if only they won't be self
conscious about it. The clever wom-
an is generally fearfully self con-
scious.-Ne7V York Tribune.
