LANCASTER, PENN, March 20, 1906.
Inquiries were numerous the past
week among the local tobacco buyers,
but most of the offers made were turned
down, as the dealers are not ready to sell
their holdings yet. In fact, they are un-
able, for several reasons, to fix prices.
To come down to bedrock reason it is
because the belief prevails generally that
the prices are going skyward, and that
they will soon be gilt edged. At the
present time 20 cents pound is the pre-
vailing price at which sales are made,
though there have not been many, and
none of large lots. The dealers are ad
vising one another to hold on to their
packings and wait for higher prices
Most of the tobacco will be cased within
the next ten days or two weeks, with the
exception of the scattered crops through
the county not yet sold by growers.
These are being gathered by the deal
ers, who are paying from 141a to 10 cents
pound for wrapper goods and from 3
to cents pound for filters.
The cigar industry continues fair.
There is no scarcity of old goods among
the big manufacturers, in spite of all
that has been said about scarcity of old
leaf, but the little manufacturers are ia
bad shape, as they have not had the cap
ital necessary for laying in much of
stock Recently quite a number of small
factories have had to close for lack of
material New Era.

NEW YORK. March "a. 1906

The market just now is indulging in
siesta after continuous and strenuous
activity of the past SIX months. The
omnivorous stomach of our cigar indus
try has been filled and some time must
be allowed to digest the extraordinary
quantity of food which it has swallowed.
The rest therefore cannot but be &C
cepted as welcome respite. This res
pite, however, has offered the market an
opportunity to busy its tongues again
which were silenced for so many months
by the pursuit of practical occupation.
Gossip is therefore adrift once more, set
in circulation by the trust absorption of
one of the best reputed seed and Ha-
vana cigar factories. This gossip, un-
bridled once more is not satisfied with
the one startling trust acquisition but
insists on feeding it's appetite with the
swallowing also of we'll known inae
pendent Havana factory as we'll as of an
independent scrap smoking tobacco fac
tory. 1t is the old story of making the
trust fill the gap not only but making it
also responsible for the incident of the
lull in business. However, if duller times
are in view the gossips are on the wrong
track as to their cause. They better
look out for the threatened coal strike
which will prove veritable calamity for
the general prosperity of the country
and cannot fail to affect indirectly also
the leaf trade and cigar industry.-Jour-
nal.

The report of the United States de-
partment of agriculture on the acreage,
volume and value of the principal crops
in 1905 reveals the fact that tobacco is
the most valuable crop per acre that is
raised in this country The value of the
tobacco crop of 1905 has been estimated
at S63.72 per acre.

M1AM1sBuRe. O., March 16, 1906.

Snow has fallen here for six consacu-
tive days, but this has not been allowed
to interfere with the delivery of the 1905
crop by farmers, or the riding of buyers
in quest of the same. The writer noticed
tobacco drawn through the streets today
on bob sleds, a rare sight of late years.
Buyers ars still riding daily, but reports
of purchases are not so numerous, for
the reason that there is very little re-
naming unsold in farmers hands. The
crop is more closely bought up at this
date than it has been for many years.
There has also been more tobacco deliv-
cred here during the past month than
usual.
Although during the rush of buying
more money was paid for some inferior
crops than they were worth, as delivered
to the packer there is more good leaf in
the crop than was expected. An un-
usually good market for trash stimulated
farmers to eliminate a greater amount
from their crops than was hitherto the
custom, thus improving the quality Of
the crop and at the same time reducing
the yield per acre from early estimates.
For the past two weeks fierce competi-
tion has been waged for the possession
of the filler grades of the 1905 crop in
packers hands. One manufactures Of
package scrap tobacco alone is said to
have bought 5000 cases at eight cents
for receiving weights, while other pack
ers have refused 81a and are asking 1Oc.
1t is estimated that 70 per cent. OF the
entire filler grades have already been
contracted from the packers. 1t will
thus be seen that the proportion Of ser
viceable leaf in the 1905 crop available
for cigar purposes is less than it has
been for number of years.

The weather for the past three days
has not been so favorable as the previous
week for starting the hotbeds. The time
is very near for getting the beds ready
for the seed, and the snow that we have

Colorado Girls Novel Way of Getting
Money Through the Mail.

A Colorado girl who wanted GER
tain school book ordered it from a
Chicago publisher and sent the
money for it, baked in a biscuit.
The sender explained that she was
so far from money order selling of
fee of any kind that she had no
other mode of sending the price than
to inclose it as she did. 1t was sill
yer quarter that she sent We often
hear of clouds with silver Innings,
but here is a chunk of dough with a
silver filling.
/, The woman who tells the story
says that this is only one of many
inventions Of money mailing people.
Their resources in contriving ways
to disguise the presence of coin or
currency in letters and packages
seemingly are unlimited. Chicago's
big stores that handle heavy bust
ness through the mails are able to
recount some unusual methods.
Some of the women who send to
Chicago for various articles are in
genious in this matter. The Colo
RADIO incident simply shows the
scope Of the human mind in trying
to outwit the thieves who OCCASION
ally manage to slip into the federal
service.
The lost and found department of
ihe United States railway service in
Chicago produces some wonderful
conceits in concealing remittances.
Frequently packages break open and
dollars, halves. quarters and dimes
roll out Of unheard Of hiding places.
One queer fact concerning the mat
ter is that after person has taken
unheard OF pains 10 hide remit

carelessly that II breaks open with
the slightest Jar or jolt.

ORIGIN OF SOME SEA TERMS.
Almost All Languages Of the World
Have Had Share in Words Now
In Constant Use.

There is hardly language which
has not been called upon TO provide
at least one Of the curious sea terms
which are in constant use and whose
origin is SO obscure.
For instance the word admiral
is not of English origin, but is from
the Arabic emil Ell bagh," or lord
Of the sea. Captain comes from the
Latin caput, but mate is from Ice
landic and means a companion or
equal. Coxswain is a word whose
derivation would never be guessed.
The coxswain was originally the
man who pulled the after oar in the
captains boat, which was known as
the cock boat. This in turn is cor
ruption of the word coracle, small
round boat used on the Wye and
Usk rivers. So coxswain comes to
us from the Welsh.
Commodore is not so difficult to
trace TO its beginning. 1t is simply
the Italian commandafore. meanino

CALLED DOWN. OIL KING.
Clerk Didn't Know Mr.. Rockefeller
But He Does Now.

A fnancier formerly connected
with The Cleveland offices Of the oil
company Of which Mr.. Rockefeller is
the head tells a story Of a newly-en-
gagged clerk in the employ Of the
company who was assigned to work
in a room where there was small
health lift. Every morning at about

his figures, tall gentleman with a
very mild manner--in fact, very
diliident manner would enter with
a pleasant good morning" walk ON
tiptoe to the corner, and exercise for
a short while with the lift mentioned.
Now, this proceeding soon became
the worst kind of bore to the clerk.
So one day, when the mild stranger
came in for his usual exercise, the
clerk, unable longer 10 restrain his
Indignation, said with some asperity :
