NEW YORK, March L. 1870

4NEV IOHAs N4GISA 4-s IUST,
The chief event during the week of
conseq uence to the market was the
opening of the inscription season at Am
sterdam of the 1903 Sumatra crop. The
preliminary reports were as usual of a
gloomy tenor; poor crop, high prices.
But these reports are Superanuated ac-
quaintances, making their appearance
annually as regularly as the inscription
season comes round. Of course, they are
rarely, If ever, based on any substantia
fact. They ARE sent over or invented
right here, in our market for speculative
purposes, and do not deserve any serious
credit. Qnite another tale is being told
in the u. S. Tobacco Journals special
cable report on the result Of the first in
scription that took place yesterday. In
a crop of 100000 bales, it stands to rea-
son that there will be enough in it to
satisfy the moderate demand of the
American market, which now runs to
about thirty to thirty three thousand
bales, and then, with yield the largest
on record prices are sure not to overtop
any fgures'of any short crop OF course,
the Sumatra will this year be the DOM
mating factor in our wrapper question,
more than since 1890 because there is
no domestic leaf of last years crop in
sight, except the limited quantity of
Connecticut Broad leaf and Florida. But
the deficiency in the domestic wrapper
leaf is likely to be outranked by the still
greater deficiency in binder stock. For
all reports agree that the 1908 Wisconsin
can hardly recuperate to serve as a suf-
fciently available binder crop. The de-
mand for Havana leaf remains steady

A Chapel I'm a Ceas Mine.

One Of the most remarkable places OF
worship INA the world is the miners
chapel in Myndd Menigiid colliery,
Swansea. Wales, where for more than
fifty years the workers have leach morn
ing assembled for worship. This sane
tuary is situated close to the bottom of
the shaft. The only light is that OBJ

lamp hung over the pulpit from the
ceiling, and the oldest miner in the col
liery is generally chosen to oficiate.
1t is the custom in some other places
for coal miners to gather together
mealtimes for prayer meeting and the
like, but it is said that this is the only
instance where a special apartment is
fitted out in coal mine as chapel
