stated that the original depositioIs

remarkable case of this character.
A girl named Anne Walker was sup
posed to have been sent away for her
good by a substantial farmer. Some
time afterward a so-called apparition
appeared to neiGhbor with its head
all bloody from wounds and telling
him that she had been murdered by
the farmer and an accomplice. Her
body, the apparition said, had been
buried in a spot which she described
and she begged the man to whom she
appeared to bring her murderers to
justice. True enough, TIE body was
found in the place mentioned and the
men were brought to trial. The sen
sational character of the case was in.
tensified by one of the jurymen de-
claring that he saw the child of the
dead woman sitting upon the shoul-

lutoion in the island of Cuba and the
possible consequences to the nearby
paintings and later harvesting. 1t is
now very close to the time when the reg
ular planting should begin and even if
no harm be done to the plantations by
the insurgents, as seems to be the gen.
eral tenor of dispatches from the seat of
war, it may be that the labor situation
will develop some other difficulties. 1t
was practically decided that large crop
would be planted this season, and it was
felt that this would prove a veritable
panacea to the trade and quickly relieve
the present strained situation. But, if
the unsettled conditions should interfere
with the proper supply of labor to per-
form this work, and only an ordinary
crop be planted, conditions will be apt
to remain unchanged during another
year. And this will be almost as unsat-
isfactory as a full-fedged revolution,
with no crop at all. However, there is
still time for the actual planting and all
may turn out in a satisfactory manner

MIAM1sBURG. O., Aug. "a. 1906.

Since my report of last week the
growing crop has experienced rather
more rain than was needed. Many fields
were flooded and much tobacco was in
jured by being scalded or blown down
and covered with mud. In the vicinity
of Lytle and also southwest of Dayton
considerable damage was done by hail,
and in some quarters rust has appeared.
Although the damage is severely felt by
the individual sufferer, the aggregate
amount to date affects but small frac-
ton of the crop as whole. Neverthe-
less, sufficient alarm has been occasioned
to check the wild buying Of late, for all
are aware that continued excessive rain
fall at this time is liable to produce
complete change in the character and
quality of the crop. A large growth is
already assured, and if farmers are fa--
ored with dry weather from this time
forth satisfactory quality may be ex-
pected, and the damage already sus-
tanned will be compensated for by an in
crease in the yield. Very little trouble
from green worms has been experienced
this season, and the crop is therefore
comparatively free from worm holes.

Sufield, Ct, Aug. %: Tobacco harvest
is being pushed vigorously. Last week
was an ideal one for the business, and
much of the early cut is considerably
cured. The dry atmosphere is justwhat
is needed to prevent pole sweat. One
drawback to harvesting the crop is the
difficulty to procure the necessary help
for the work. One of our large growers

LANCASTER, PENN, Aug. Is, 1906.
The tobacco market presented no new
features this week so far as cased goods
are concerned. The sales so far as learn
ed have been small confined for the
most part to few cases taken by small
manufacturers. Neither has there been
variation in price, the prices for the
time being, at least, having settled
around the 2O-cept figure.
All interest is centered on the new
crop, which is now being harvested. The
past week saw cutting in active opera
tion, but the amount put away so far
has not been large. We are informed
that in few localities in the eastern
end of the county nearly one half of the
crop has been cut. Our own observa-
tions covering good deal of territory in
various parts of the county, showed not
more than 10 per cent put away. More,
however, would have been cut had there
not been several days of unfavorable
weather. The best fields are ripeuing
rapidly, and the present W. eek ought to
see much tobacco put on scatfolds or in
the barns. New Era

Baldwinsville, N. V.

During the last few days busy scenes
have been presented in the tobacco
fields, harvesting having been completed
in many of the fields. The crop in both
quality and quantity is superior to any
crop grown in this section in recent
years, and with the present scarcity of
tobacco in the market growers expect to-
receive good prices.

NEW YORK. Sept. l, 1906
The western jobbing trade which usu-
ally opens the season in our market, has
come, seen and loaded up with all types
of leaf except light Connecticut wrap
pers, which, as foretold in this place,
seems to have fallen this year in the
grace Of our cigar industry. Whatever
of Connecticut was sold to the Western
trade, and it did not come near the quan-
tity that was usually absorbed by that
trade consisted of seconds and dark
wrapper grade for which an average
price of about 25 to 26 cents was paid
The chief investment, however. by the
Out-Of-tOwn buyers was made in Penn
sylvania Broadleaf at an average figure
os 20 cents, price which is regarded as
low, because an advance of at least &c is
expected on the Pennsylvania within the
next few weeks. Other stocks of do
mestjc filler grades shared proportion
ally in this brisk trading, principally
Gebhardt and Zimmer's. It is estimat
ed that from ten to twelve thousand
boxes of domestic filler leaf moved off
our market during the past ten days.

which is at present offering the most
difficult problem. Bad for the consumer
as the Havana situation was on account
of the exceeding shortage of last years
crop, which proved to be but 40 per cent
of a normal crop, not considering even
the partial deterioration by the excessive
and violent rain storms, the situation of
the Havana market has grown worse by
the outbreak of the insurrection which,
if it should last any length OF time, may
prevent altogether the planting of the
new crop. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, to learn that holders of Havana
stock are not too willing to part with it
even at the prevailing high prices. One
of the largest importing houses offered
an advance of " cents on 500 bales of

Quite a number of out-of- town buyers
have been in the city during the past
week, but buying has not been particu-
larly heavy. The fact that packers of
New England goods will not let prospec-
tive buyers pick out their seconds, but
insist upon selling proportion of wrap

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Sept. I, !


While more of the present tobacco
crop has been placed under contract the
present week at higher prices than any
time since the buying movement started,
there are some indications that the rush
is about over for the time being. The
buyers for some of the large operators
have been called in. removing half a
hundred men from the field and thus
reducing the competition that has sent
prices up to the highest level of the sea-
son. Somewhere from 80 to 70 per cent
of the crop has been sold up to this writ
ing, even against the earnest protest of
the growers, but they could hardly re-
sist the f1attering offers constantly being
made.

We are now we'll along on the second
week of the finest weather for harvesting
tobacco ever experienced in the state.
The larger share of the crop has gone
into the sheds in fine condition and is
curing down most perfectly. Growers
are straining every effort to secure the
balance of the crop and if the present
weather continues it will be hustled in
very quickly.
Considerable sampling of last years
packing is going forward, but aside from
this work little is heard in the market OF
cured leaf.
The shipments out of storage continue
light, not to exceed 3O0cs for the week
