EVANSVILLE, WIS.,. June 1G, 1904.

There seems to be no telling when the
tobacco market in this section will re-
sumo anything like the activity that is
still fresh in the memory of the many
dealers of the city. There is almost a
complete standstill of affairs despite the
occasional visit of out-oft town buyers,
and the cause of this state of affairs is a
very perplexing problem. No other to-
bacco sections are experiencing such a
state of dilapidation and the man that
can unfathom this mystery will be con-
sidered most wise genius. And yet a
dealer occasionally breaks the sweet
slumbers of this market and the gentle
man who accomplished such an act here
this week was Geo. Ii. Rumrill, who sold
a 25Ocs lot of 19O0-02. He also received
seven cars of the 1903 leaf at Madison
for shipment to his Evansville and
GAINESVILLE houses during the latter part
of last week.
The firm OF Rudolph & Donahue are
the last firm to begin putting up the new
leaf, who began packing the early part
of the week.
Chas. Subert, of the firm of B. Subert
& Sons, Chicago, and M. Michaelis, of
NJ. Michaelis & Co., of Lancaster, Pa,
were visitors here Monday, and both
gentlemen are reported to have picked
up good sized lump of goods during
their visit.
The transplanting of the young leaf
has now been about half completed and
within the next six days that part of the
industry will be nearly finished here.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Not sale of tobacco has been report
ed for more than week, although some
of the packers are getting ready to COM
ply with the requirements of the trade.
The trade papers would say "the trade
was in driblets, but the aggregate would
amount to quite good sized lot and the
bulk of it will be retailed to small manu-
facturers." Meyer & Mendelshon, at
North Hatfield, have had quite a lot
spread out, and the lids knocked off,
thus getting the cases ready to sample,
and after sampling it will probably be
sent to New York for the market. MIR.
George Pease has within few days
shipped about 300 cases to the New
York market from East Whately, Mass.
This tobacco has been force sweated.
and is probably dried off enough to
sample.
Tobacco sales being little out of date
tobacco setting comes in to take the
place. Now it is not good form to ask
grower about any sales, but instead:
well, | suppose you have your tobacco
set by this timer" is the salutation upon
the meeting of two farmers from the
same district. "No, my plants are lit
tie backward this year, for sowed some
dry fish and it rather burned the plants
some. The trouble | suppose was lit
| tie lack of water" says No. l, and he
proceeds to give No a little lesson.
| The trouble is that dry fish is about the
| most fiery fertilizer that comes to the
| use of the farmers, and in applying a
small amount of water it is made as fiery
again as it would be if no water were
used; for little water seems to liberate
| the ammonia, and it comes directly in
contact with the under side Of the leaf.
But if plenty of water is used and the
released ammonia be washed out and it
is absorbed by the water and carried TO-
| to the soil to be taken up gradually from
| the earth, then it will surely benefit the
plant
Our correspondents report as follows:
| Feeding Hills: Tobacco setting was we'll
along last week. Plants are plenty and
weather favorable, but the cut worms

way, Mass, June 6; Setting tobacco Is

New York.
NEW YORK. June II. 1904.

The generally conceded and complain
ed of dullness Of the leaf market is but a
sequel of the retrogression of the output
of the cigar industry that has been re-
corded in these columns from month to
month since the beginning of the cur
rent year. The exceptionally severe win
ter, the absence of any spring weather
and the freaks of the summer season
have played havoc with every line of
business and the leaf trade is therefore
no exceptional sufferer. But to judge
from the latest advices bottom seems to
have been reached. Particularly in
Pennsylvania, the largest cigar manu-
featuring state, the cigar industry is ev-
identity recuperating. The output for
last month in the Ninth district showed
a marked improvement and the figures
published in this issue from the First
district, that is Philadelphia, show pro-
duction for May larger than for the same
month for the past five years. These are
signs which may be accepted as forerun-
ners of a general improvement of the
trade. That it does not despair of the
future is evidenced by the fact that
large sales have been closed on the new
Connecticut Broadleaf on packers sam
pies only. In fact, one of the largest
packers of that type has already sold out
nearly his entire packing. Another good
sign is the fast clearing out of the old
Havana stock in the market.-Journal.

NEW YORK, June $, 1904.

The past week has shown evidence OF
a real trade awakening in the West, but
the Eastern conditions remain unfavor-
able, though slightly improving. We
hear of considerable sales in 1902 Penn
sylvania Broad leaf, as well as Connec-
ticut Broad leaf. thinner Spanish 1902
is reported to be moving fairly.
Sumatra.- Western manufacturers are
now taking good hold on the stocks of
our larger importers, annexing quite
large lots. though the Eastern cigar fac
tories still show some conservatism as to
the size of their purchases. Considering
the fact that this market now contains
thoroughly representative stocks of the
new crop, local importers express sur
prise at the slow-going policy pursued
by manufacturers of our Eastern Sec
tions. =

crop keeps the market deplorably de-

LANCASTER New ERA, June 7, 1904.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, June I, l9O4.
From a condition of dullness chat
could not be surpassed two weeks ago,
there vas quite lively movement in the
market during the past few days in old
goods, chiefly of the year 1901. Manu-
facturers do not like that crop any too
we'll, but just now it seems to be case
of must with a good many. The time
appears to have come when If they can
not get what they want they must take
what they can get or go without. The
sales that have been brought to our no.
tice are l50cs 1901 crop, sold by Mr.. Ed
ward Kready; Mr.. Bare, of Lititz, sold
118cs of 1901 crop; Kramer & Goldberg
sold 200cs of 1902; John d Skil@s
bought 132cs of 1901 goods; Mr.. Har-
nish sold l00cs 1908 crop, and John
Hoover sold 55cs Of 1901 goods. In all,
755cs.
The weather was rainy or cloudy
throughout nearly the entire last week.
But the rains were not heavy, giving
such farmers as had plants ready good
opportunity to set them ont, and adyan-
tage was taken of the situation on every
hand. Those who got out their plants
early were fortunate, because the wealth
er presented no drawbacks, and all they
had to do was just grow. Warm weather
is now at hand, and this week will see
much of the crop set out. The indica-
tlons, so far as our information extends,
are that about the usual acreage will be
planted.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, June II, 1904


The buying movement has gained a
new impulse of late and more transac-
tions have been recorded during the
week than for some time past. Buyers
are again riding quite freely and either
old or new goods are being gathered in
wherever found in country hands. The
N. Y. firm of Meyer & Mendelsohn
have secured more than 1000 cases
from first hands the past two weeks. The
impression is gaining ground that the
remaining portion of the crop will be
as closely picked up as other years. For
choice lots of assorted goods more salts
factory prices have been paid.
Sales coming to notice of assorted
goods are:
Ole Dahl, 10a at 7, 4&1c.
Il. @. Thompson, Sa at 7, 4&1c.
Ell. Henry, 5a at 615, Sale.

There is a moderate inquiry for old
leaf and some fair sized sales have been
effected by local packers. Several deals
involving the sale of packings of new leaf
are under consideration but not yet COM
pleted, except 2O0cs lot put up by Pet
erson of Orfordville to We'll & Co.
The transplanting of the new crop is
now we'll under way in all sections

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

Some of the large packers of the 1908
crop have commenced to rehandle their
first packed goods and are not disap-
pointed to find some damage, especially
of a mold and must nature. A rather
important discovery is also noted in the
fact that where damage is fonnd it runs
in crop lots. Where one case is found to
be affected nearly all cases of the same
crop will be likewise damaged. Packers
who have given the subject the most
study affirm that the most reasonable
solution of this condition is that at some
stage the damaged tobacco had been
subjected to a sprinkling of water or
snow, as it is we'll known that the pecu-
liarly thin nature of the leaf makes it
susceptible to damage. It will be re-
membered that good deal of the tobac
co was taken from the sheds last season
in rather light case and the temptation
to use water to supply the deficiency of
moisture was too great for growers to
withstand. The result is now not only evil
dent to the people who have bought and
packed these crops, but also upon the
farms where growers have not yet dis
posed of. their tobacco. This is only
another warning that new tobacco will
not stand water in casing and growers
who make practice of using it in pre-
pairing their crops for market will soon
find that buyers have them on the black
list as people not safe to do business
with. 1t is just such experiences as
above described that have made packers
wary of the crop all through, and in a
measure responsible for the low prices
that have prevailed. What they have
been suspicious of all along is now a
known certainty.

is nothing except the bare skin, the

their fading charms, they wear the

Transfer Of Music Through Beam.


The following beautiful experiment,
described by Professor Tyndall. shows
how music may be transmitted by an
ordinary wooden rod: In room two
floors beneath his lecture room there
was a piano, upon which an artist was
playing. but the audience could not
hear it. A rod of deal, with its lower
end resting upon the sounding board of
the piano, extended upward through
the two floors, its upper end being ex-
posed before the lecture table. But
still not a sound was heard.
A violin was then placed upon the
end of the rod, which was thrown in
to resonance by the ascending thrills,
and instantly the music OF the piano
was given out in the lecture room. A
guitar and harp were substituted for
the violin and with the same result.
The vibrations of the piano strings
were communicated to the sounding
board. they traversed the long rod,
were reproduced by the resonant bod
les, the air was carved into waves, and
the whole musical composition was de-
livered to the listening audience.
