sure that all is lost. Mere trifles be-
come magnified into signs of the times
because they happen TO lie immediate
ly in his field of vision. He becomes
confused and distracted that something
desperate must be done at once. All
these are marks of weakness, survi-
walls of childhood. A few men stand
ing firmly by well considered loyalties,
not easily excited, with quiet conf
dence in time, in human nature, and in
God, can accomplish great things.
A third law of strength is response
bility. An empty ship, be it ever so
we'll built, cannot ride well in the
storm. And the same is true of a
man. The very burdens we are carry
ing are part of our strength You
will never find how much there is in
your life until it is loaded with a task
that taxes its utmost capacity. 1t is a
mans misfortune if life does not lay
its heavy hand upon him and compel
him TO take his place in the ranks of
those who are carrying heavy burdens,
in the home, in business, in the church,
in the community. 1t Is not without
reason that the men of real strength.
the men upon whom you can always
call for new and greater service, are
those who are already loaded to the
waters edge. The habit OF earring
responsibility with quiet reserve oe
power has increased their strength.
A fourth law of strength is the law
of cooperation. Most of the work of
life is work that has to be done with
others. Here it is that many a man
otherwise well equipped fails. The
man who simply says, II will do my
share If the rest will do theirs" can
never be a strong leader of men. 1t is
rather the man who says, Now, men,
long pull and a pull ali together, and
we can put this thing through" who
has the strength of leadership. The
strong man for cooperative work is
the one Who instinctively so relates
himself to others that he is continually
saying. not Il and they" but we
Let man, then, strike deep until he
feels the throbbing of the eternal laws;
let him hold himself steady through
the vicisstudes of the day as one
whose life is to endure through the
eternal years; let him load his ship
down with the responsibilities of life
until it acquires its full momentum
and then let him remember that he is
not alone; that his ship is one of a
great squadron, and that there is a
signal at the masthead of the flagship
upon which we must keep our eye
fixed til 1t all may move together.

There appears to be nothing new to
report, locally, in the realm of tobacco
information. Farmers are still pushing
their crops to this city and surrounding
market points as rapidly as it is sorted
and can be bundled. Long strings of
teams, loaded high and wide the wagons,
are constant reminders of the tobacco
disappointment of 1903.
John T. Fortney, Franklin: Last year
my tobacco crop brought me $1,000.
From the same ground for my last crop,
just delivered, I received S379." And
this is the story of nearly all the farm
ers. It is not to be wondered at that it
is dull and hard times with all classes of
citizens in this section.

measure the value of my tobacco crop,

NEW YORK, April 27. 1904

An active demand exists for the force
sweated Connecticut, which is moving
off as fast as it reaches the market In
spite of the unfavorable reports about
the 1908 crop, some very desirable to-
bacco has been subjected to very careful
attention at the packing houses. Light
wrappers are selling at from so to 6S
cents. Some of the packers have made
two selections of their seconds, the first
selling at from 26 to % cents, and the
other at u to Is cents. About 1,50O
boxes of Wisconsin changed hands.
Sumatra.-The most conservative man
ufacturers are beginning to realize that
the new crop is much finer than the
early reports indicated, and that their
present knowledge is sufficiently safe to
invest their money on. The falling off in
quality of goods offered at the last in
scription also probably had tendency
to assist sales. At any rate, quite a
quantity of leaf has been changing hands
during the last few days, and the inquiry
shows stimulus. The star sale was one
of 1S2 bales by prominent Water street
firm.

INV IOnhi [ApIlA ~, IOOt.
A steady business continues to prevail
in the leaf market. Large transactions,
except in foreign leaf, are out of ques-
tion, because the domestic leaf stock is
rapidly vanishing out of existence with
no prospects of replenishing it sufficient
ly with available leaf from the new crops.
What the q. S. Tobacco Journal has
pointed out months ago and repeatedly
since, as an impending famine in binder
stock is being taken advantage of by the
very largest manufa cturers to pick up
all odds and ends of old Wisconsin leaf
from any source whatsoever This move
ment should convey most convincing
lesson to the smaller manufacturers who
may be bent on haggling onrthe price of
a case of Wisconsin binders, while his
larger competitor is only too willing to
grab it il be can at an increase of a cent
or more. The only depression expert
enced in the leaf market is in the matter
OF fancy filler stock which seems to be
gradually losing it's hold on the trade.
The price for this type of leaf is not only
going down, but the demand for it has
grown not only less persistent, but almost
apathic. There are some weighty rea-
sons for this change, but as they would
in their enumeration overstep the bounds
of market report, the U. S. Tobacco
Journal will deal with them at more
opportune time in another place. The
new Sumatra seems to take we'll in spite
of its advanced price and more than a
thousand bales of the new importations
have been absorbed so far this month by
the factories. The Havana market is
holding its own fairly well.-Journal

The people who believe that govern
ment ownership and management of
public utilities, like railroads, telegraphs,
mines and such things, is panacea for
all manner of railroad troubles, like
strikes, disputes about wages and the
thousand other things that disturb the
general harmony, may learn something
by studying the present troubles in
Hungary, where the biggest railroad
strike ever known in that country is on.
Every train on the government railroads
has been abandoned, every car un-
coupled, the fire in every locomotive put
out, and the telegraph instruments dis
connected, and the lines stranded The
result has been that over one thousand
railroad men have been put under arrest,
all the railroad stations are guarded by
troops, and large bodies of the latter
have been called out to preserve order.
Here appears TO be an instance where
government ownership doesn't seem to
exercise a beneficial Influence on labor
All the troubles, and more besides, that
are commonly seen at such times, are
present at this outbreak in Hungary.
The only one advantage we can see in
the Hungarian affair is, that the gov
ernment has not paused to parley with
rioters, but has promptly used the strong
arm to protect its property.

LANCASTER NEW ERA. April o6, 1904.
While the sales of old tobacco were
rot many during the week, the volume
was considerably larger than for any
other week during the present year, we
believe. In addition, they were all of the
1901 crop, which, for the lack of more
desirable goods, is finding its way into
the market, which is regarded as most
promising sign. The sales as reported
to us were 251cs of 1901 crop sold by Mr..
Eli Mylin, and 1000cs of 1901 goods sold
by S. M. Mumma; in ALL 125lcs. For
the corresponding week of last year 375
cases were sold.
Sales of 1908 tobacco are falling off
rapidly now for lack of material. 1t re-
quires good deal of riding and hunting
now to do a good days work. Still,
those who have not quite as much as
they want can be accommodated by 60
ing after it, although we think another
month will see the crop pretty we'll
cleaned up.
While the Lancaster Leaf Tobacco
Association took no steps to send dele
gates to the meeting of the national or
ganization, goodly number of members
have nevertheless determined to retain
their membership in that body and have
paid to the treasurer of the local organi-
zation, Mr.. Morris Rosenthal, the $40 to
keep their membership alive.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDeERToS, WIS. May 6, 1904.

EDGERToN, WIS, May 6, 1904.
A moderate buying of the tobacco crop
continues in most of the growing Sec
tions of the state. It is generally be-
lieved that better than two-thirds of the
crop has been absorbed and the present
rate of buying is fast reducing the bal
ance. Low prices of course furnish the
incentive for the movement and while
growers are anxious to dispose of their
holdings it is likely to continue. Sales
coming to notice, giving the range of

For several weeks past considerable of
the 1903 crop thinner and Seed leaf has
been received by local packers in inter-
mittent deliveries from farmers, at prices
ranging from 6 and 2 cents to cents
through for Seed leaf, and from to 9
cents straight for thinner; the Broad
leaf variety being especially sought, pre-
sumabely on account of it's lower price,
little trouble to stem. and satisfactory
combination with Havana tobacco at the
reduced rate of import duty. Some of
the packers are deferring their invest
ments until after the sweat, in the belief
that operations will then be less hazard
Gus than at present.
The backwardness of spring is expect
ed to operate to the serious disadvantage
of farmers in the matter of securing an
adequate supply of early plants for this
