LANCASTER NEW ERA. Nov. %, 1904.
There was decided improvement in
the demand for old tobaccos during the
past week. The sales were much larger
than during the previous week, and
could have been considerably more
extended had the goods desired been
here or the prices the same as before.
But the 1901 crop is passing rapidly, and
the liberal sales of 1908 goods now going
on for some months have also depleted
the stocks; so that the demands of buy
ers are only met when they are willing
to pay higher prices. The sales that
have been brought to our notice were
433cs sold by |. Ell. Weaver; 125cs sold
by Abraham Rockafield; 130cs sold by
John Hoover, and 450cs by CRUDE q
High; in all, 113Scs. For the CORES
ponding week of last year the sales were
352cs.
There has been a lull in the buying of
1904 goods. Not so many buyers are in
the market. This is accounted for in
various ways In the first place, there
has been very little tobacco stripped,
and buyers are hedging on the high
prices asked, because much of the crop,
1t is said is curing yellow. On the other
hand, many growers are holding off and
refuse to sell, believing prices will go
still higher. At the present it does not
look as if much would be done in the
new leaf until a fuller examination of
the goods is possible, and that will not
be until after rainy spell.
The inquiry has been made why we do
not publish lists of sales, as has been
our custom in other years. The answer
is that we have none to publish. We
would gladly do so If we had them. Both
buyers and sellers have remained silent,
and we see only rarely single sale an
nounced. We would be much obliged to
any and all correspondents who will fav-
Or US with names of sellers, number of
acres, kind of tobacco and the price.
The only sales of new crop we have to
report are "a at 9&2c, sold by W. B.
Burkholder, from near Mechanicsburg.
In Penn and Elizabeth townships we
learn many sales have been made at s, 8
and 10 cents. Around Mastersonville,
n. S. Zug is said to have bought great
deal at from 81 to 10 cents.

On December II will be held a great
meeting of independent tobacco manu-
facturers, jobbers and dealers at Phila-
delphia. It is believed heavy atten-
dance will be enjoyed The main object
of the convention is to discuss measures
for fighting the trust, now all the more
powerful by the recent amalgamation of
leading monopolies under the New Jer-
sey laws. The fat issued by the trust
prohibiting jobbers from handling prod
ucts of independent manufacturers has
been rescinded, yet the antitrust tobac-
co interests have other grievances to be
righted.

In the New York Tobacco Leaf of last
week is an article upon the possibilities
of Texas becoming a tobacco raising
community. There are four counties
that lie about 80 to 200 miles north of
the Gulf of Mexico, according to the
survey of the United States Agricultural
Department, that can raise $4,000 acres
in each county, or 256.O0O acres of fine
tobacco soil, with the climate to help
them produce as fine growth of tobac-
co as can be grown anywhere in this
country. Now what are the probabili
ties in this case? The farmers there
have already begun to raise about from
two to five or six acres each. Probably
the average will be enlarged, perhaps, as
slowly as it. was in Massachusetts and
Connecticut. Already one company has
organized, called the "Nacognoches To-
bacco Company" They only raised a
small amount of tobacco this year, but
perhaps they will spread out as have
some OF the Florida companies, who now
raise thousands of acres. Similar eX-
pansion has taken place in Alabama and
Georgia, and in various western states.
Year by year the acreage of these states
has increased, and year by year they
will continue to increase in the amount
raised until the tobacco belt has
stretched for thousands of miles in ex-
tent. There is more good tobacco land
in these four counties in Texas than IN
all New England put together. Another
great factor is the climate. the length OF
the season. There is no danger from
frost either spring or fall.
~
With the declaration of Secretary Taft
that he proposed to push the Philippine
tariff bill with all the resources at his
command and the statement that his
contentious will be supported by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his administration,
the issue has been squarely presented to
the trade and there is every reason to
believe warm and interesting contest
will be fought before the Committee of
Congress at the coming session. The
time for preparation is short, as Con-
gress meets December 9th, but those
who will be depended upon to bear the
brunt OF the battle have been studying
the question and are doubtless prepared
to present arguments against the pro-
posed reduction that would be all con-
vincing before an unbiased tribunal.
Such, however, Congress and its COM
mittees are not likely to be. The pres
tige of the support of the administration
will alone be many points in favor of The
bill and the fact that Secretary Taft is
so highly regarded AS an authority on
all subjects pertaining 10 the Islands,
will weigh heavily Consequently the
trade will have to contend not only with
whatever merits the proposition may
have, but against the powerful infiences
its champions will be able to exert. Only
a united front and vigorous campaign
most actively waged viii save the day.

These conditions are not alone confn-
ed to Wisconsin. The same complaint
of dry weather is heard in New England
and other leaf growing states. Besides
some extreme winter weather has already
visited the east, which has not only held
up handling but buying as we'll. About
one-quarter of the crop through New
England was taken down few weeks
ago and few of the warehouses started,
which have since been compelled to
close down and the outlook is not much
better than at home.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


December has arrived and no casing
weather has so far occurred since the to-
bacco became cured that would permit
any portion of the crop to be removed
for stripping. 1t is rare that the fall
months pass without furnishing a cer-
tain amount Of damp weather that af-
fords tobacco growers chance for early
stripping if they desire. Often the cas-
ing season comes before growers are
ready tc bundle the crop and the oppor-
tunity is not improved, but this year the
long continued drouth has shut out any
semblance of casing weather. The time
of year has now arrived when the storm
periods are followed quickly by cold
weather and sudden changes, when it is
much more difficult to obtain proper
casing conditions and growers begin to
fear that winter will set in without any
of the crop removed from the curing
sheds. If these fears are realized there
will be disappointment throughout the
tobacco sections, for both farmers and
warehouse men are ready to commence
handling the crop. Such a large portion
of it is already under contract that labor
that is usually employed during the win
ter months at the tobacco warehouses
was looking forward to busy season of
work. A tobacco damp" now would be
very acceptable.

HOFFMAN,
VICTIM
HOLDUP
D. p. Mccarthy Sandbagged
Near Depot Escaped
Robbery

Last night about 10 O'Clock, while
on his way to the train, a journal re
porter was surprised and not a little
scared to hear a series OF blOod-curd
ling yells of murder" " "help," "po
lice" coming from the direction Of the
corner OF 18th and State streets, and,
for moment, the reporter was un.
certain whether TO start back the way
he came, or investigate, but his profes-
sion got the better Of bis natural ten
denotes, and, gathering up two large
rocks, headed for the scene of action.
On reaching the corner he found a
Portland man, who said that some
one had been murdered about half way
down the block, and, handing him one
of the rocks, the two rushed to where
a man was standing covered with
blood, and declaring he had been shot.
Upon Investigation it was found that
it was D. p. Mccarthy, the hop man,
and that instead Of being shot he had
been sandbagged. Mr.. Mccarthy says
that he was walking toward the depot
and man stepped from behind tree,
and, he thought, shot him, for he
thought he heard the report, but the
eoncussion Of the blow must have
eansed the delusion, for he had plainly
been sandbaRged. When he was
knocked down he said he heard the
Portland man yell, and so gathering his
strength together he grappled with the
footpad, but was unable 10 hold him
until help arrived.
: Mr.. Mccarthy escaped without los.
ing any money, although he had nearly
$40 with him, and is at his Office this
morning no worse for the episode, with
the exception Of big lump over his
left eye, and a bad cut near his left
ear.
The police were notified, but as no
description could be given Of the rob
ber there is little hope OF his being
caught.
Mr.. Mccarthy has good cause to re-
member the place Of the holdup, for
about month ago an attempt was
made TO rob him in nearly the same
spot, but was unsuccessful, for he be.

Mr.. Kenny has actually escaped
from the paralytie's g fate to which b

been fully verified and some important
"details secured in a personal interview
with the recent sufferer.
"The doctor" said Mr.. Kenney
90 told me that if l wanted to live any
length Of time would have to give
up work altogether, and he told my
friends that the paralysis which had
begun would in time involve my whole
body"
"Just how were you afflicted at this
time'" Mr. Kenney was asked.
"Well, first had hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt as if needles were being
stuck into it, These sensations were
followed by terrible pains, and again
/ would have no feeling at all, but a
numbness would come over me, and i
would not be able TO move. The most
agonizing torture came from head
aches and pain in the region of my
spine"
"Were you able to sleepi"
''No. That was one Of the worst
features Of my case. Night after night
could not get any natural sleep and
my system was wrecked by the strain
Of the torturing pains and the effect Of
the opiates was forced to take to in
duee sleep. AS / look back on the ter
