The earlier reports about exceptionally
good and abundant crops are being
somewhat modified now.-Journal.
NEW YORK, March %, 1904,

Conditions in the domestic market are
unchanged from last week. Business is
quiet.
Sumatra. = The Staatendam, which
was to have sailed the day after the first
inscription, broke propeller and had to
put back to port, SO that no types of the
new crop have yet been received. The
Pottsdam will arrive next week with the
first consignment on board.
Our cabled advices state that while
the quantity of suitable goods at the
second inscription for the American mar
ket was not very large, the character of
the goods showed decided improve
ment. The colors were better - not
lighter, but they showed more life.
Among the tobaccos of the Deli My.
there are only three lots which contain
tohaccos suitable for America in quanti-
ties The other lots are for the German
market, mostly ground-ieaf tobaccos.
Prices, excessively high at the first sale,
continued to show an upward tendency.

was done this week, and one or two ex-
ceptionally good sized deals in Remedies
were put through.-Leaf.

GAINESVILLE, WIS.,, March 30, 1904.
About the same amount of business
has been transacted by those interested
in leaf tobacco as that OF last week. and
perhaps one or two more warehouses
have opened their sorting rooms. The
declining of many dealers here to do any
riding to any extent is naturally having
a great effect on the delivery of the crop
and until more active riding on their
part the tobacco situation will not make
any noticeable progress. And as the
season is getting late the farmer will
soon begin his spring work and let the
tobacco take care of itself, and in many
more ways more profitable occupation
for the season of 1904
Those that are riding this week are H.
S. McGiffin, up in the Vernon county
district; A. N. Jones, J. l.. Soulman, S.
Soverhill, G. Ell. Rumrill and N. Carle.
The eastern buyers are gradually drift
ing this way. Julius Marqusee Of New
York is the first one for some time, being
here Tuesday.
L. B. Carle & Son bought during the
early part of the week 40Ocs of 1901 1902
and sold 150cs of '01 and 'O2; F. S. Baines
sold 25Scs of 1900 and 1901, sampled $50
cases 1900 and 1901 and shipped cars
G. H Rumrill sold 98cs of 1902 from
this city and Evansville and received at
the latter place Tuesday.
The total number of hands employed
here now in the various warehouses will
reach the $50 mark.

V1RooUA. Wis, March %. 1904.

Every day long strings of teams wend
their way to Viroqua burdened with big
loads of bundle tobacco, most of them,
since the roads became bad, are four
horse teams. At each of the local ware
houses crops are being taken in as fast
as men can weigh and stow them away,
and three or four outside dealers are re-
ceiving, packing in cars and shipping to
Sparta and other outside sorting towns
There is, all along the line, activity in
receiving, but the cold cash farmers re-
ceive for their crops is so insignificant
as compared with past years, that they
are disheartened. Very many of the de-
hveries are unsold, and purchaser is
sought after arriving in the city. This
means low prices to majority of the
growers Those who decline TO dispose
of their holdings at buyers offerings
find places to store the weed or cart it
home. Rather than do this, many crops
are sold at very low prices.
The warehouses in Viroqua, Westby,
Soldiers Grove, Readstown and Viola are
working full forces of hands. At the
best it will be late when the sorting and
packing is completed this season.
A few local and foreign buyers are rid
ing through the country districts exam
lining crops and doing some buying.
Farmers, a good per cent. of them, are
still busy stripping and placing tobacco
in the bundle.-Censor.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The prices have been low for good
years, thus bespeaking laudable effort
on the part of the packers and buyers
and also of the growers, to get the crop
out of the way before starting to raise
another crop. AS for the buyers they
are as impatient as the growers to keep
the manufacturers busy Still, there is
large amount of work to be done to Sc
cure all of the crop, and especially that
grade of goods demanded by the manu-
facturers. But by dint of hard work
here and the expending of large sums of
money paid for imported goods, the
manufacturers may be able to pile up
several billions of cigars. and in this
manner to change the crude tobacco in
to millions of dollars, thus offering IN
opportunity for many men and women
to earn their daily Bread and perhaps
to lay by dollar for rainy day. The
crude tobacco forms but small percent
age of the manufactured value, SO you
growers need not feel that you are the
one class of laborers that are worked
hard, for you are not. You are not the
large class either, for where there are
hundreds engaged in raising the weed,
there are thousands engaged in the man.

New YORK. March 26. 1904


The course of the Inscriptions is still
holding the attention of the market in
the absence of any local stirring events.
The third inscription this month that
came off at Rotterdam yesterday only
verified the impression of the compare
tive scarcity of light colored leaf in last
years crop. And the reports that are
diligently circulated from mouth to
mouth in regard to high prices evidently
refer only to this exceptional class of
goods. For medium grades reasonable
prices are being paid and enough of
them are likely to be secured for the
american market out of crop of 26O,-
600 bales, although SO far America has
taken only about 1919 per cent. of the
quantities offered at the first three in
scriptions. In the meanwhile the Suma-
ira here is~not being neglected. Trans
actions in Sumatra leaf are steady as it
is in fact the only wrapper leaf at pres
ent available for our cigar industry. In
domestic leaf business, If not rushing. is
holding it's own as far as the old stock
reaches. The anxiety is moro about the
prospects Of the supply from the new
crops than about present transactions.
There is no concealing the fact and the
u. S. Tobacco Journal viii not tire to
point it out that there will be surpris-
ing dearth of available leaf in the new
crops with but few exceptions, and that
in the late summer higher prices will
have to be paid for trash than are being
demanded now for comparatively fair
goods. Trade in Havana leaf is fair.

LANCASTER New ERA, March 90, 1904.
It is the same old story-nothing do
ing. What is more, it promises to re-
main the same old story until place is
found for the 1901 crop, which, to very
large extent, still remains in the hands
of the men who packed it, or until the
new CROP of 1903 begins to be called for
the latter thing not being looked for
for months to come. Such being the
situation, not much of change is to be
looked for, and the nothing doing"
story will be heard for an indefinite per-
iod of time. The only sales that have
come to our notice during the week were
134cs of Connecticut goods sold by Har~
rison G. Shirk and 100cs sold by I f..
Weaver.
There is no et-up in the purchase of
the 1903 crop, the buying of which APP
pears to have become pretty general, by
city as we'll as by country buyers. While
it cannot be said that the buying is 90 so
large a scale as in many other years still
the deliveries at the warehouses every
day in the week, and the equally large
receipts by rail from more distant points,
including some from other counties, show
that great deal Of active work has
been going on in this line,

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The annual meeting OF the Leaf To-
bacco Board of Trade, set for st. Louis
in May, is likely to be called off and held
in some other city because of the exor
bitant rates charged by the hotels there.
Allthat has been said about the disposi-
ton of st. Louis people to hold up the
public during the exposition seems like
ly to be true. It is not much less than
an outrage for the leading hotels to an
nounce a rate of ten to fifteen dollars
per day for accommodations that in
other times are sold for less than half
that sun. The delegates to the tobacco
convention show good sense in not SUBJ
mitting to extortion. Such highway
policy will cause an enormous amount OF
damage to the exposition in keeping
away the we'll to do class that have de-
cided scruples against being imposed on.
AS matter of self-protection the bust
ness interests of st. Louis ought to see
to it that the rapacity of its hotel men
is curbed at its inception.

IF you come across a very shabby
looking Englishwoman on the con-
tinent," said Travelled American, 'in
nine cases out of ten she will turn out
to be somebody of rank. When l was
in Florence, | was n great frequenter
of the Ufizzi galleries, and there l met
a number of times an oldish English
woman with a young girl, whom l
took to be governess and pupil, as the
former was evidently educating the
latter's taste for art and would analyze
the styles of the different artists and
make the girl pick out their pictures
through her knowledge of technique.
1t was cleverly done, and as the older
woman saw that | was interested in
her art lectures she kindly included
me in the curriculum. The girl was
shy and stiff, like most of her young
countrywomen, and l never heard her
call her companion by any name, so |
still retained my first impression until
one day when smart young person,
who was evidently lady's maid,
brought in some wraps and addressed
the older woman as your grace and
the younger one as your ladyship,' the
two proving to. be the Duchess of -
and Lady Emily. her granddaughter"

Murdered by Indians.
QUELQUEFOIS

Some time ago it was reported that
/ the Indians in Southern Nevada had
threatened to kill every white person
in that section if the Indian boy who
killed a man named Williams was
hanged, and a dispatch from Caliente,
dated January ., says word has just
been received there of the killing of
two prospectors by the Indians. The
bodies of the men were found lying
near the ashes of camp fire. They
had been shot and their bodies after
ward frightfully mutilated.
Later reports say the Indians are or
ganizing a systematic warfare directed
against the whites and a general upris-
is feared.
Charles Lovejoy, rancher, was
chased by small band of Indians
from a field to his home. He was UNI
armed, but once inside his adobe
house, aided by his wife and 11-year-
old-boy, he made a spirited defense.
The Indians sought to storm the adobe
stronghold, but they were met with
volley from the rifles, which finally
drove them off.
As soon as they had retired from
the scene, Lovejoy took his wife and
son down to one of the construction
camps on the railroad, secured the help
of three men not afraid of Indians,
and returned to his old fort. The re-
suit has not been learned, but it is ex-
pected that he had another brush with
the redskins.

1t is reported that the government
will take a hand in the water suit of
Miller & Lux against the farmers of
Mason Valley. This action has been
decided on for the reason that the
government owns considerable land
in the lower end of the valley-the
Walker Lake Indian Reservation
and intends to see that its wards have
water for the land. 1t is to be hoped
that the government will get into this
case, says the Times, as it will mean
that Uncle Sam will then have to carry
the thing through to termination
where water can be secured for all,
and this will mean a government stor-
age proposition, large canals on each
side of the valley a, network of laterals,
and thorough system of irrigation
which will put every foot of one hun
bred thousand acres of land under cul-
tivation.

MARINE ART.
Virtues and Defects of the ships
That sailors Paint.


1t is an axiom with sailors that there
never was u man who put in three
years before the mast who did not
think he could paint ship better than
the most skillful landlubber that ever
welded Il brush. In the homes of re-
tired sea captains specimens of this
kind of marine art are often displayed
on the walls to admiring friends and
are handed down as family heirlooms.
A good place for the man who has no
seagoing relatives or friends to see
such pictures is in some of the win
dows of ship supply stores on South
street in New York. Sailors buy them
occasionally.
Ships that sailors paint are absolutely
correct in every detail. From brig to
n full rugged three master there is not Il
block or tackle missing from stem 10
stern or from masthead to water line.
No marine painter could get in half so
much detail if he tried. But the ships
painted by sailors look as if they were
caught fast in frost tipped waves.
There is absolutely no life or any sug
gestion of motion about them even
when represented as going under full
sail. When n sailor tries to get in bit
of landscape as a background, as he
usually does, he makes matters hope
lessly worse. As a general thing it is
lighthouse or Il fort looking for all the
world like little images that children
take out of their toy arks.-New York
