be nominated on the first or any other

dry seed with the sprouted seed for later

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 1908.

From the growing sections comes the
news that the "damp" of last week gave
the farmers a chance to complete the
work of stripping the 1907 crop, and that
in all sections of the country advantage
was taken of the opportunity. This also
gave the packers a chance for inspection,
and from all accounts the information
thus gained was not entirely of reas.
suring nature. A decided tendency to
greenness is reported to have been no
ticed, and many fat stems were in evi-
dence 1t is said also that the crop
has not cured satisfactorily, and that
the burn is deficient In the local mar
ket routine line Of business was done,
and it is evident that manufacturers,
while. in general, known to be none too
plentif1lly supplied with stocks, are
buying from hand to mouth until such
time as they have settled in their own
minds, at least, the question as to wheth
er prices will go any lower. Business
done last week was principally in Wis
consin binders, Pennsylvania filters and
thinner Spanish.
Sumatra-As noted in another col-
umn, the vanguard Of the American buy
ers will leave for Holland on March 3. to
attend the first spring inscription, which
takes place at Amsterdam on the 18th
of that month. The local sales of Su-
matra have been rather small during the
past week.
Havana-For the first time since the
holidays brisk buying movement is re-
ported in Cuba, and the transactions of
the past week or so reported from Ha-
vana more than equal the total business
done there in several months.-Leaf.
