Neither the untimely advent of the
dog-days nor what may be called the
fag end of the season seemed to have
exercised depressing influence on the
activity in the market this week. Busi-
ness continues fair and even high prices
do not act any longer as a draw back
against purchasing supplies. The only
weak feature in the market is the short
age in old stocks. Transactions, there
fore, of domestic leaf are limited to mod
crate size, but what there is of filler and
binder stock is being freely taken. The
new Sumatra has also installed itself by
this time as free seller. AS the prices
moderated somewhat at the later in
scriptions for mediocre leaf, importers
are in position to average rates and
thus offer inducements to faithful GUS
toners. But even at the stiff rates man
ufacturers are bound to buy as Sumatra
still remains the chief reliance for the
bulk of our cigar industry. The Havana
market fares equally as we'll. The gap
in time between now and when the new
crop will be in workable condition is
too wide to creep over with empty hands.
Besides, no modification in price is ex-
pected for the new crop. Hence the de-
mand for stock on hand remains active
and keeps the trade busy.-Journal.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, June 13.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, June Ii, 1905.
Our local market presents no new
features this week. The sales were 1000
cases Pennsylvania broad leaf by @. w.
Bitner to western buyer. The packing
was bulk sweated and found in excellent
condition. Also, rs cases sold by B. F.
Good & Co. In all, 1915 cases. The
sales for the corresponding week of last
year were 313 cases.
The packers are still Investigating the
condition of the 1904 crop as it exists in
the cases, where it was put months ago.
The results continue to be what was re-
veled earlier. In most packings the
black rot is in evidence as much as ever.
A few, however, who allege they we're
especially careful, assert there is no
more in their packings than usual. 1t is
agreed on all hands, however, that this
is the worst year for this disease that we
have had in decade.
All accounts agree chat about all the
tobacco that will be planted this year
has been set out. There are still few
vacant fields here and there that have
been delayed for lack of plants, but they
are not many. Most of the plants stand
ing in the fields are small. Only here
and there is one seen that has made con-
siderable growth. But the showers
have been numerous and abundant, and
they will, under favorable weather con-
ditions, now make rapid growth. The
increase in acreage over last year will be
considerable.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The transplanting is we'll along now
Probably three-fourths of the land is set
and before this report is received by you
the bulk of the setting will have been
done and new crop started Some
have their crops nearly hoed the first
time, and some have finished their first
hoeing. The crop looks very we'll, con-
sidering what it has been through. Four
frosts have occurred since setting began.
Had we received plenty of rain and sun
shine and not so much wind, think the
crop would be looking as we'll or better
than it has for years, for the setting was
done fully as early, or perhaps earlier
than for several years. But there have
been very few days that the wind has
not blown almost gale. The plants, as
rule, were more than average size and
there appeared no reason why the crop
should not have started off we'll with
good weather. But now that the cropjs
little under the weather there is the
more reason to give the crop more atten-
tion to help it recover from this wind
stroke with plenty of work with the cul-
tivator and horse hoe. Keep the ground
we'll loosened and skitter over with the
hoe just to smooth the ground But do

in the air and moisture, and if you have
some of the fertilizer left, don't get so
busy that you cannot cultivate it in be-
tween the rows, so that the horse hoe
will surround and draw it up to the
plants. Then glide over it with the hand
hoe and not pull the earth away. Too
much work with the hoe, unless the soil
is weedy, is not good for the plants. Do
not dig deep near the plants, but very
lightly.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Wethersfeld, Ct.: ''The welcome rain of
the 9Th enabled those who had plants
large enough to set them, and for the
others it will give the plants in the beds
a good start. The rain was very much
needed" Hatfield, Mass: "The tobacco
crop is mostly transplanted and hoeing
is now in order. In few cases worms
have been working somewhat The crop
has had good start, and with warm
weather should make rapid growth"
Conway, Mass: Tobacco is not quite
all transplanted here yet, but will prob
ably be finished this week. A few pieces
show the work of cut worms, but where
they are not working the tobacco has
started to grow nicely. We have had
few little rains that have helped the to-
bacco, but has not helped the grass SO
much as we would like to see. .'-Culti-

There has not been great deal of
activity in the leaf market here this
week. There is nothing left in the hands
of the warehousemen to warrant any
large transactions and Only sprinklings
of any grades are on sale. Two months
at least will have to pass before any real
good tobacco business will take place,
and it seems that the best the local deal
er can do to occupy his attention will be
to watch the progress of the growing
plants. It is reported that the storm
Sunday destroyed several acres of re-
Gently set fields northeast of this city.
BY another week the transplanting will
be entirely finished in this locality and
with the continuation of weather such
as has prevailed of late an early harvest
ought to be the result.
The sales during the past week are as
follows: T. A. Ryan sells 100cs of low
grades and binders; Fisher & Fisher sell
1OOcs of 1903 and buy three cars of the
new leaf; Geo. FL. Rumrill sold 130cs of
1903, ships from Madison to Evansville
five cars of new; T.. B. Carle sold 129
boxes of all years and buys $50 of the
same.

ed trip through Michigan in the interest
of his tobacco business.

The work of transplanting the plants
from the beds to the fields is occupying
the attention of growers early and late.
The close of the present week will see
the bulk of the crop safely transplanted,
and the weather continues especially
favorable for securing a good stand.
Many of the progressive growers have
finished and report the plants we'll root
ed and but little replanting necessary.
The indications now are that the crop
will go out at tride earlier date than
usual in this state
Trading in cured leaf from first hands
has dropped off almost entirely, only an
occasional lot being marketed.
Just moderate business is transacted
among packers, though firmer demand
is reported, and good binder stock is be-
ing sought after in all markets.
The shipments out of storage amount
to but few hundred cases from this
market to all points for the week, half
dozen car loads covering it all.

In the domestic leaf market there is
very little activity this week. The new
crops are going through the sweat very
satisfactorily so far as can be learned,
but until they come on the market next
September there can be but little doing,
as the old crops have been bought up
more closely than for many years.
Sumatra.-The new Sumatra is prov
ing a free seller, Notwithstanding the
fact that manufacturers are complain
ing of the high prices they are paying
and the dealers are complaining of the
small profits they make. But with only
two more inscriptions to hear FROM the
manufacturers are realizing that they
cannot hope for any material change in
price, and they are supplying their wants
from present offerings.

this week than for some time past, and

ranging from ten to twenty five bales are
reported. deaf.

Hail and Cyclone Protection

Mr.. j. j. Harris, general agent for the

county where he has been for a few
weeks, and will now devote his time to
interesting the tobacco growers in this
section in protecting their crops against
storm damage. The severe storm Sun
day evening, resulting in quite heavy
farm losses In the towns of Dunkirk and
Pleasant Springs, is reminder that a
little protection is good thing to have,
especially during the season of violent
storms.

During the past ten days an immense
acreage of tobacco has been transplant
ed. Previous to this time, however, very
little had been set out, on account of
unfavorable weather. 1t is quite prob
able that less thinner and more Seed
leaf and Dutch will be grown this sea-
son than has been the custom for several
years past. Farmers are anxious to fin
ish planting, as hay harvest will soon be
upon them, with wheat harvest to follow
soon after.
Struggling crops of thinner continue
to be delivered at prices ranging from 8
to 9s4c.
Some little damage is being found in
the warehouses, which was occasioned
by water applied by the farmers. News.

The department of a. -ulture has is
sued its June crop statistics which give
preliminary report of the probable to-
bacco acreage for this season. In an ex-
planatory statement accompanying the
report, the department states that to as
certain the probable acreage with accur-
roy thus early in the season is not possi-
BILE, and this year it was especially diff
cult, as the season has generally been
backward and transplanting late. The
reports predict an increase of acreage in
all the cigar leaf growing states except
possibly Wisconsin which is placed at 10
per cent. below that OF last year. The
season is reported backward and the
planting in the eastern states was con-
Quoted under difficulties. More complete
statistics are promised next month.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

1t is gratifying to learn that the legis-
lature finally consented to an appropria-
tion of $500 yearly to continue the to-
bacco experiments by the University Ex-
pertinent Station, and the work already
begun by Prof Sandsten is likely now to
develop something practical for the ben
eft of the growing industry, as the ap-
preparation is to continue three years.
