Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Well, the first grand struggle with the
tobacco crop is about past. The first
setting is over, and where the worms
have not eaten very badly the tobacco is
growing thriftily and looks nice. The
soil is not yet very. dry, so that in the
morning the top of the ground shows the
| moist earth, and tobacco plants set in
such time live and start to grow in a
very few days.
We have had a splendid rain, and
those who had their tobacco set have
been very busy in stocking over their
fields In some fields the cutworms have
caused considerable damage, while other
fields have gone scot free.
7 wish that some solution could be
used to spray the plants, if it could be
applied more easily than paris green.
But, as the plants occupy so small pro-
portion of the surface of the ground, per-
haps it would be impossible to spray
them without submitting to large loss
in what would fall on the ground. Some
dav, perhaps, an attachment will be sd
justed to the tobacco setter that will do
the business at the time of setting the
plants as we'll as the watering is now
done. 1t might safeguard the crop to
would commend itself to the growers of
tobacco. 1t might be small, at least, to
apply paris green.

more destructive of the two, as it bores
into the stock, killing the plant. The
cutworm remedy of paris green and bran
does not seem to attract the pest. Ker-
osene emulsion has been tried by some
growers, but sufficient time has not
elapsed to demonstrate it's value; cut
worms seem to travel in armies, and
while some fields of tobacco will take
two thousand plants to the acre for re-
setting, others will hardly take five hun

The Federal Grand Jury has complet-
ed the first stage of it's investigation into
the affairs Of the tobacco trust by pre-
senting Joint indictment against two of
the trusts subsidiary companies and
their presidents for violating the Sher-
man antitrust law. Those indicted are
the MacAndrews & Forbes Co. of New
Jersey, and the j. S. Young Co. of Maine,
with factories at Baltimore; President
Karl Jungbluth of the first named com
pany, and President Howard E. Young
of the second The indictments charge
a conspiracy in restraint of trade in the
arrangements made to control the busi-

try. Copies of letters and contracts be-
tween the two defendant corporations

NEW IOhh. uuo AO, 1COO.
The leaf market has quieted down
considerably. An air of indifference
seems to hang about it inasmuch as
everybody expects rushing season when
the new crop becomes marketable. No
body has the faintest idea of possible
depression in trade and everybody is pre-.
pairing for or has entered already upon
the summer vacation. Trading in Su-
matra keeps up we'll, and in Havana re-
ticence is noticeable to part with stock
for speculative purposes. Fancy prices
are being offered for heavy bodied Vuel-
ia filters and factory Vegas of last years
crop, but there seems to be left very
limited supply of this most desirable
material for the best grades of cigars.
While there has been a good deal of
complaint among the clear Havana ci-
gar manufacturers over business condi-
provement, and in support of the more
sanguine view, it is pointed out that
omparatively few cigarmakers are now
coming around the factories looking for
jobs. Box makers, too, who are in the
best of all positions to Judge, report an
increase in demand for their product,
and no longer find it possible to fill or
ders with the same despatch as few
weeks ago. From the seed and seed
and Havana factories come no COM
plants. Demand, they say, is unusually
good, even for this time of year, and
their main difficulty is in securing suffi-
cient help whereby to satisfy the previ-
Gus requirements of their customers

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, June 90, 1906.


The transplanting season is drawing
to close. By the end of the month the
full intended acreage will be transferred
to the fields: Weather conditions of
late have been almost ideal for getting
out the crop and securing good stand
of live healthy plants. There seems to
be an abundance of plants too, for all
the desired acreage and there have been
no delays experienced in completing this
work. Having the crop now in the fields
growers feel as though they have the
commencement of good tobacco season
we'll started If the elements continue
as favorable there will be no question
about the results at the end of the
season.
A strong demand is apparent for cured
cigar leaf, but the scarcity of goods Of
fered in the local markets precludes
many transactions. The balance of the
Soverhill packing of '05 at GAINESVILLE
has been sold to Philadelphia parties,
who purchased half the packing few
weeks ago.
The shipments out Of storage do not
exceed 200 cases from this market to all
points for the week past.

The Congressional leaders are now
planning to adjourn Congress for the
summer recess before July l, and some
very nice calculations are being made to
secure the enactment of necessary legis-
lation before the end of the session. The
conservative men among the ma jority
leaders have been strongly influenced
against any further consideration of the
Philippine tariff bill by the publication
by the War Department of the reports
of the governors of the principal prov
inces in the Philippine Islands, which
supplement the annual report of Gov
ernor Wright and his colleagues of the
Philippine Commission. For reasons
which can only be conjured, the admin
tration's censor does not appear to have
done his work as to these provincial re-
ports, which are frank and businesslike
statements of conditions throughout the
islands, and are totally at variance with
the report of the Philippine Commission
as drafted by Governor Wright and as
interpreted by Secretary Taft and his
assistants in the War Department.

Lancaster.

LANCASTER, Penn, June 10, 1906.
The aggregate of the sales of leaf to-
bacco in the local market the past week
was small, and the packers had another
''off" week last week. Some of them
think there can be no active trading be-
fore fall, while others expect squirt now
and then. The majority are still expect
ing better prices, later, than are being
paid now, the prevailing prices being 10
and 20 cents pound. The packers make
the argument that manufacturers must
have the goods, and later will pay good
prices for them. Some of them claim
that fully half of Lancaster county's
crop has been removed beyond reach
through having been purchased by the
trusts and big manufacturing firms.
The cigar business continues rather
dull and there appears to be no prospect
Of things bracing up in the near future.
The weather was ideal for the growing
plants up to last Saturday. but after the
storms begun there was trouble for the
growers. In many places the young
plants were washed out of the ground
and replanting had to be done on an ex-
tended scale. The nail that fell on Sat-
urday and Sunday in sections of the
county whipped the plants good deal,
but as the leaves cut will be ground
leaves when the plants are full grown,
the damage is immaterial. New Era.

When the boat had burned to the water, the engine rolled to one side of the boat, and, capsizing it. sunk to the bottom. The hull turned turtle fioated down stream, and has not yet been recovered.
 Owing to the high stage of the Wal ter, the City of London was doing a big business, and it's loss will be se- verely felt by local shippers, as well as the owner.
 The boat was valued at $l,500 and carried $1,O00 insurance.
