There is still some quiet hunting after
the unsold portion of the new crop, but
the movement has lost its force, and
with competition eliminated trading is
being effected at trifie lower prices
than heretofore. A few sales coming to
notice are:
Brictson Bros, 16a at 104&2c.
AND. Ellickson, 15a at 10&2c.
Henry Severson, 1Sa at 101a&2c.
0. T. Lestie, 10a at 1015&2c.
Geo. w. Green, Ia at 9&2c.
Old leaf remaining in first hands is be-
ing diligently sought after and consider
able movement is noted. James Nc
Carthy sold 39cs 'O4 at Sc, 7. FL. Lestie
Aces at &c, and A. A. Norgargen 54cs at

The new crop is now securely she'd
ded and the weather of the week has
been extremely favorable to curing.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 5OOcs from this market to all

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Sept. 12, 1905

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Sept. II, 1905.
The local leaf tobacco market was as
dull during the past week as it was the
week before, or for several weeks prevl
Gus, for that matter. To say anything
more on the subject would only be
repetition of all that has been said,
nothing doing, because there were no old
goods to offer. A number of dealers
have been around looking at the 1904
goods already sampled and there has
been much sampled, too, but they did no
buying, for the very good reason that
they did not offer enough. All late re-
ports show an unusually large percent
age of shrinkage in the crop of 1909,
which will mean quite an unlooked-for
loss to the buyer.
About Is per cent of the new crop has
been housed, and so far as reports go it
appears, most of it, to have been put
away in good condition for curing, The
growers appear to have needed the warn
ing not to court low prices for goods i'm
properly cured, through having been put
away before ripening. Twenty y-five per
cent of the crop being still standing
means that there is yet good deal of
tobacco not yet housed, but it will not
be long, if the weather only clears up
nicely, and we get some sunshine, before
this is put away We arc close to the
anniversary of last years destructive
frost, September 16, it is true, but the
growers had better take chances from
hail or frost than put away crop that
would only develop black rot. Very lit
tie buying on the field took place during
the past week, the high prices asked
having scared off the dealers Even the
American Tobacco Company and the
United Cigar Company, which started
the craze this season for buying on the
field, have called off their buyers. Had
the prices held to 10 and IL cents great
deal more would have been purchased,
but the growers, concluding that they
had good article of trade, stood off for
higher prices. They appear quite con-
tent to wait until their goods are in mar
ketable shape before selling.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 1905.

NEW AORhi Oopt' IO, 1OoC'
The market continues in fourishing
condition. That is to say, it is not ex-
actly booming in the volume of business
done nor in the size of the profits real
lied, but solely in the knowledge that
the stock in hand will have to 60 into
consumption and that the buyers will
have to pay the full market value for it.
The actual transactions at the present
time do not come up by any means to
the pushing demands for the goods. No
matter how urgent the necessity of the
buyer for leaf may be, he will invariably
offer objections to the price asked. But
the leaf market ought to be accustomed
to these chronic objections to it's price.
When in former years leaf could be had
in the market at one-third and one
fourth it's present price, the buyer would
object against paying the price asked
and if the leaf would have been offered
him for nothing, he would have kicked
against the mere charge of freight or
carriage. But those habitual kicks do
not seem to have the least effect now on
the equanimity of the holders of stock
and so they prefer to hoard their stock
rather than to dispose of it without re-
munerative margin to them. Conse-
quently dealings are limited in quantity
but unlimited in frequency, and it is
safe to predict that before next spring
arrives, the market will be cleaned out
of all and any kind of domestic leaf.
Sales in Sumatra are commencing to i'm
prove, too. AS our cigar industry con-
sumed during the last fiscal year $4,000
bales of Sumatra or 14,0O0 bales more
than in the hay days of the "good old
times" it could not stop using it even if
it wanted to, as there is absolutely
nothing in sight to take its place.
Whether, therefore, the Sumatra costs
more or yields less, if high grade nickel
cigars and seed and Havana cigars con-
tinue to be manufactured and to be
manufactured in ever increasing num-
bers, Sumatra will have to be used. AS
for the Havana market it rivals in the
increase of demand and frmness of price
the domestic leaf market. But like in
domestic leaf, the demand is not for
bulky investments, but for steady sup
ply in smaller quantities all along

Tobacco cutting has occupied the at
tention of tobacco raisers the past week
The weather has been favorable for
housing and curing and some gloomy
predictions have not been verified. The
crop generally is fair, with some very
good tobacco and some hail cut and rust.
It is reported that buyers have pur-
chased several crops of seed-leaf at eight
cents, which would indicate that busi-
ness has commenced. News.

Cutting has continued during the past
week and large percentage of the crop
is now in the sheds. The crop as whole
is an excellent one, and although the av-
erage is not as large as in former years,
vet there is a large increase over last
wear. A considerable amount of ship
ping has been done during the week
from the local warehouses.-Gazette.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


EDITOR REPORTER: Will you kindly decide
question that is troubling many of your
readers:-A represents farmer who sold B
his crop of 10 acres of 1908 tobacco in the field
at and &c. Three acres of his crop were har-
vested sound when a hail storm damaged the
balance slightly. says he will not pay &c for
the damaged nor will he permit A to sell to
another party. B claims he has control of this
crop to accept the part he wants, and A claims
that When the storm struck the crop it made
the contract void, and he tenders the advance
money to who refuses to accept it.
Hoping you will give US early reply, am
Very truly yours,
THE GROVER, Ia
A lawyer friend who was shown the
above probably gave US good advice
when he said: Refuse to decide. Don't
60 into the law business and try and an
ticipate the decisions of the courts" !"
The writer of this column makes no pre-
tense of being able to apply the law up
on the statement of facts above given.
Common sense, however, would almost
indicate that the contentious of both
parties are wrong. Under the usual GUS
tom the test would come at delivery time
when "B' would be called upon either
to accept the tobacco according to con-
tract la memorandum of an agreement)
or reject it. when GA" if new agree
ment could not be satisfactorily made
concerning the price of the damaged
leaf, would be at liberty to sell to anoth-
er party. 1t doesn't seen reasonable
that ga" should claim that the accident
of a storm injuring only part of crop
would void the contract which calls for
the delivery of sound tobacco and por-
tion of his crop on the statement of fact
is sound. 1t is possible the law would
Justify ''B" in refusing the tender of the
advance money, because when he made
a contract for tobacco he expected the
delivery of the crop or any part of it
that complies with the terms of the con-
tract. On the other hand, Judge Glenn
enson in a Crawford county case held
that the grower must return the advance
money when he was unable to deliver
such tobacco as the contract specified, or
refused for other reasons to do so. In
this case the tobacco was sold to anoth-
er party. But as before stated it is not
| our purpose to go into legal contro-
versy.

Sampling of the 1904 packings is now
fairly under way. AS general PROPOSE
tion the crop has come through the
sweat in good condition. Some damage
is found, but this is to be expected
mostly of a white nature in the lower
grades, but no must to speak of. The
percentage of loss therefore is not great
The tobacco is not SO we'll dried off as
some other seasons, that in country
hands being more soft than the warehouse
cured leaf. Packers are pretty we'll sat-
isfed with the result and believe the
crop will furnish binder stock the trade
will be anxious to acquire. Very little
has yet found it's way to the eastern
markets and hence prices are hardly yet
established. The we'll known scarcity of
binder stock is fairly good assurance
that packers will be able to realize de-
cent profits on their 1904 investments.
At the present they are not losing any
sleep about the future.

The ability or inability of the Burley
Tobacco Growers Association to control
the present crop against the American
Tobacco Go. will be demonstrated very
shortly now. All that can be done has
been done to win success and with the
various meetings held at the several
county seats in the Burley district comes
the end of the struggle, or it's develop
ment into ampler life. Upon the results
of those meetings the fate of the associa-
ton hangs. w. B. Hawkins, the ire
pressible president of the association,
made the following statement of posi-.
tion at e meeting: Last year some
thing like 10O,00O,000 pounds of tobacco
were signed to the association by con-
tract, conditioned that we could get the
money to pay for it, You remember the
struggle we had and how at the last mo-
ment we had to let the tobacco go. Yet,
the efforts of the association were not
altogether in vain. They put between
four and five millions of dollars in the
pockets of the tobacco growers in the
Burley district, for it enabled them to
get from 10 to Il cents per pound for
their staple instead of and cents
which the trust had been paying. What
we want now is to get this stock COM
pany together and the $4,000 paid up
by subscriptions from the Burley grow
ers which is the 10 per cent of the total
sum demanded. This money is put into
the banks in trust for you, in case we
fail to get it back and if we win you be-
come stockholder in the company. Ii
we win it means ten cent tobacco all
round, but if we fail God knows what
the trust will give you for it.
***
The September bulletin of the Depart
ment of Agriculture giving the condi
ton of the tobacco crop of the country
on Sept. lst, places Wisconsin at 93, OF
one point below that of July 1st and
three points above Aug. 1st, as against
50 year ago this date. The range is
| lower than the other cigar leaf states
due probably to the severe storms of the
! season. The average of the entire U. 5
| is only placed at 851. Such figures are
| only comparative and have but little
bearing on the final outcome of the croE
| when cured and ready for market.

John HAYS LI...e rhyme

We have received from source Of un-
doubted authenticity a copy of the follow
ing little rhyme by the late John Hay,
written about thirty years ago, when he
was acting as editor of the New York
Tribune, being entitled in that capacity
to the courtesy of a telegraph frank. The
occasion of his writing this poem was In
connection with request for renewal of
his annual pass that had expired with
the old year. We believe this effusion
has not before seen the light of print, and
we offer it to our readers as additional
evidence, If any were needed, of the nat
ural humor in Mr.. Hays disposition, that
had already found expression In Jim
Bludso' and Little Breeches," and that
was ready at all times to find vent for the
interest or amusement of his friends.
I'D rather ride balky ass,
Or lose my hook to a big black bass,
Or stand she book agents sass,
Or dine on nothing but blue mass,
Or share King Nebuchadnezzar's grass,
Than carry around a last years pass"

Mrs. Catherine Bushnell Charges That

Of Importing Girls From China for

BY Associated Press,

LA CROSSE, Wis. Oct. 18.-Serious
charges against the British govern
ment were made at the National Purity
conference today by Mrs. Catherine
Bushnell Of Oakland, Cal, world purity
evangelist. Mrs. Bushnell charged that
the exporting Of Chinese and Japanese
girls for immoral purposes was a recog-
nized business in the far east and that
it was carried on under the protection,
encouragement and supervision of the
British government agents at Hong
Kong and Singapore. The matter had
been reported to the London govern
ment, she said, but claimed to have
personal knowledge that the practice
was going on as before under full gov
ernment protection.
The conference today decided to call a
national purity convention to be held
in Boston in 1906. 1t was also decided
to organize every state in the union
against the traffic in girls.
