New York.
NEW YORK, August 16, 1913.

There has been more activity the last
week in the New York market due to
the influx of the western contingent of
buyers, who came east mainly for the
purpose of supplying their needs in
New England tobaccos. While the vol
ume Of transactions may not be large,
it is principally owing to the high
prices which packers are obliged to re-
alize, and another good reason is that
the quantity remaining from last year $
crop is after all very limited. Those
who realize this fact are quick to get
under cover, and those who are in the
habit of waiting, find to their regret
that they have missed chance. Such
is the situation at present as regards
New England tobaccos, of which the
Broadleaf variety plays the greater
role since the Havana Seed portion of
the tobacco was as good as lifted sew
eral months ago. Among other types
of tobacco there is demand surely but
slowly growing stronger every day for
good, old Pennsylvania Broadleaf and
Zimmer Spanish. Binders of every de-
scription are getting very scarce and
are eagerly picked up wherever found.
The manufacturing business continues
very healthy and all indications point
toward good and lively fall. Leaf.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. IL, 1913.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. IL, 1918.
Rapid progress has been made the
past week in harvesting the Connecti-
cut Valley tobacco crop. Shaded to-
bacco has derived untold benefit from
the rain of two weeks ago and the
priming of this strain is being pressed
on the big plantations.
Cutting of sun-grown tobacco has be-
gun. The crop, as whole, is perhaps
little late. Just what the sun-groWn
yield will be is problematical, but any
assumption that a normal crop will be
harvested is visionary. In some cases
a crop of normal weight and more than
normal quality will be housed, but
thousands of acres of sun-grown leaf
have suffered damage from the drought
in greater or less degree. Rain fell
in parts of the valley Sunday night,
but, as has been the case throughout
the season, was insufficient. Late to-
bacco must have more rain IN order to
produce more than sixty or seventy
per cent yield.
Up to the present time but few sales
in the field have been reported. There
have been rumors of quiet work among
the buyers, but they have proved un-
founded 1t is hoped buying will not
start this year until the crop is ready
for the market, as it will save lots of
adjusting and hard feelings. The
American Tobacco Co., however, sets
the price and pace and if that company
should decide that it was the fashion
to start buying there would be a grand
rush all around.

EDGERToN, Wis, Aug. %, 1913.
Had the weather of the past week
been furnished to order it could hardly
have been improved on for the matur-
ing of the growing tobacco crop. The
fields are making such phenomenal ad-
vancement toward the harvest as is
rarely seen in this state. Even the
very late set may yet exceed all expecta-
tions. The harvest has been started in
limited way in many sections and will
become quite general the coming week,
but the tobacco topped since the first
week of the month bids fair to yield
the most promising leaf of the season.
Buyers have been riding the country
districts some trying to learn the ex-
tent of the recent hail damage but we
do not learn of any field buying as yet.
Local dealers report plenty of in
quiry for cured binders but few have
their samples ready for inspection. The
only transaction coming to notice is the
sale Of 350cs lot of II by Holtan &
Onsgard, Stoughton packers, to We'll &
Son.
The shipments out of storage reach
500cs from this market to all points
since last report.

Tobacco is coming on fine since the
late rains and warm weather. Uneven
ness is the worst feature of this years
crop. There are few fields but have
that element of disappointment in
them. Topping has been quite general
among growers. Portions of some
fields are ready for the spud and some
harvesting and shedding will be done
before the close of the present week.
But the greater portions of the crop
will need ten days to three weeks
waiting for best conditions. Censor.

LANCASTER, PA, Aug. IL, 1913.
During the past week Lancaster
county's tobacco, in spite of the fact
that the long drought was broken by
generous rains, appears to have made
scarcely any perceptible progress, ex-
cept in spots. The ground appears to
have been so packed down and baked
that the plants received little encour-
agement to grow, and any number of
fields may be found all over the county
where the plants are very little larger
than when they were planted. There
will be crop of course. Such thing
as a total failure of the crop of this
county was never known, but there will
be many hundreds of acres where it
will hardly be worth while cutting.
The growers are puzzled over the con-
diticn of things, and appear at their
wits end, so far as having any idea of

CITY To CONSTRUCT
NEW BAST|LE
CITY FATHERS WANT JAIL OF
THEIR OWN.
Effort to Be Made to Secure State
Property Near Armory for City
Jail Site.

According to arrangements planned
by the city council, the city may soon
have a new Jail of its own, prefer
ring to build new structure rather
than to depend upon the county Jail,
which is in charge of the sheriff at all
times, and the use of which might in
terfere with the county's custodian
of prisoners. Yesterday Councilman
Fenton was sent to Portland to con-
fer with General Finer, of the Ore
gon National Guards in the effort to
secure a portion of the state s prop
erty adjoining the Armory for a Jail
site. The same matter was taken up
informally with the general last week
by the council while inspecting paving
propositions at Portland, and it was
thought that, through General Finer,
the state might either lease or sell
portion of the real estate near the Ar
mory for Jail purposes. The matter
of material to be used in the con-
struction also came up for consider
alton at the same time and it is
thought that a building of concrete
will be erected if any. The site is
considered an ideal one for such
public building, and it is to be hoped
that the council will be able to nego-
tate this place for the new jail

COST Of PAVING
IS STUDIED
WANT TO UTILIZE PRESENT
MACADAM FOUNDATION.
Large Territory to Be Paved If Cost
Is Reasonable; Project Generally
Approved.

In East Portland the same difficulty
in securing hard surface paving con-
fronts the taxpayers as that which is
proving a problem in Dallas. The
residents are endeavoring to get hard
suface on the many miles of macadam
streets on the east side and in the
Albina district, and the plan is to
utilize the present foundations on
these streets as the basis for hard
surface by removing the top coating
of mud, says Sundays 0regonian.
Nearly all these streets have been
improved with gravel and crushed
rock, and all have a solid foundation
on which to place the hard surface.
If the price of this work is made rea-
sonable to the property-owners. there
is little doubt but that it will go
through without encOuntering serious
opposition. 1t is thought that this
sort of an improvement should cost
less than one-third the ordinary pave
ment, for the reason that there Will
be no grading to do, only the mu to
be moved, and perhaps a little crush
ed rock for a binder.
There are many miles of macadam-
lied streets in Albina district and in
other sections Of the East Side in
good condition which may be changed
into smooth, hard-surfaee pavements
at a moderate cost to the property
owners by using the foundations now
in as the basis for the top dressing OF
hard-surfacing material, adds the Or
egOnian.

Loss Not So Bad. After All.

The fire ON Tuesday afternoon
which destroyed the residence of Mrs.
Mckinney, and robbed the family of
John T. Minnich of all their house
hold goods, did not work the hardship
it might have worked. Mr.. and Mrs.
Minnich feel fortunate in saving their
child from the flames, which would
soon have brought death along with
the loss of property. Mr.. Minnich
held $500 insurance on the household
goods. Mrs. Mckinney also Jared bet
ter than was at first reported, having
5000 insurance on the residence, in
stead of $500, as was at the time
stated. Friends and neighbors came
to the relief of the stricken family,
who were without clothing, and the
family has asked The Observer to
express its thanks.

IMPROVEMENTS in CITY
Morris Rooming House Nears Com
pletion; Cosy Corner Confectionery
Remodeled; Candy Kitchen Added.

The Reuben Morris building, South
Main street, is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, and the contractors, Messrs.
Frakes & Westover, expect the place
to be turned over by March 10. This
building, as was first announced in
The Observer, is to be a rooming
house-the place being built with the
intention of furnishing the demand
for housekeeping rooms, which the
city has been unable to supply. The
building will have in all "a rooms,
with such conveniences as are de-
manded in a city of this size. 1t is
very probable that the owner will
have little trouble in filing the build
ing at all times of the year, being
conveniently located. The same ecu
tractors are this week raising the
Cosy Corner building, occupied by
Charles Lane, an addition being erect
ed in the rear for a candy factory.
The interior of this place will be ar
ranged to meet the increasing trade.
