Water Street remains as barren of
interest, so far as the domestic leaf
market is concerned, as at any time
since the long period of stagnation be-
gan. Local packers are, however, in a
most comfortable state of mind, con-
sistent with their own logical explana-
tion of why there is no business of any
consequence at the present time, and
for that matter, little apparent prom
ise of an early revival of real activ-
ity for some time to come. The pack
ers, in fact, are quite unanimous in
their assertion that they can see no
good reason why manufacturers should
buy tobacco at this time, except to
supply their immediate needs. There
is no need to worry over the supply and
there is certainly little reason to sup
pose that prices will go any higher
The cigar business from all reports is
experiencing somewhat dull period,
just now, following the rather lively
activity of January and February.
Therefore, the packers say, why should
not the manufacturers delay their buy
ing just as long as possible. They will
at least gain the saving of shrinkage
and interest if nothing more. Leaf

HARTFORD, CT, April 2, 1919.
Warehouses in this city have about
completed the handling of the 1918 crop
and it is generally regarded as a most
successful season. Statistics gathered
in this locality indicate that there is
quite quantity of the 1918 leaf still in
the hands of the growers, many pre-
fe-ring to pack the crop rather than to
sell below their demands.
This fact probably accounts for the
warehouses closing earlier this year
than in former years. Growers of
shade tobacco report that there has
been good demand for their product,
especially of the upper grades. Ship
ments to jobbers and big dealers have
been increasingly steady. Shade and
primed tobacco appeared to move more
rapidly in the Connecticut valley this
year than the seed leaf variety Prim-
ing is fast becoming more general in
this region. In fact. most all the ex-
tensivo growers now use this method
in preference to the old way of cutting
and they find that the results are bet
ter.
Just at this time the growers, large

There appears to be general slack
ing of the buying movement, especially
of the better grades purchased for
sorting purposes, because of the inabil-
ity of packers to obtain warehouse
facilities and labor for handling. The
stemming concerns, however, continue
to add to their holdings at prices that
are continually easing away so long as
growers insist on disposing of their to-
bacco at whatever price they can OBJ
tain. 1t is hoped that the bottom has
been reached, but the present outlook
is that considerable portion of the
crop will be carried over the summer
on the farms. This will involve some
care on the part of the growers to see
that their tobacco does not deteriorate
through exposure to the elements or
poor housing of the bundled crop.
The warehouse handling is still labor
ing under the handicap of shortage
of help at most of the packing points
so the sorting season is likely to drag
well into the summer months. The de-
mand for old leaf is reported unusually
dull in all the markets.
The first work on the seed beds of
another crop has commenced by the
sterilizing of the beds in some localities
during the week.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases to all points since last report.

County Fair Next Fall.

President Diggs, of the Rich
mond County Fair Association,
informs the Post-Dispatch that
the Fair will most certainly be
held this fall, the dates decided
on being Nov. 5, 6, 7,8.
The same premium list as pub,
lished last fall will be used this
fall. 1t will be remembered that
last fall every arrangement for
the Fair had been completed, the
premium books issued. carnival
attractions contracted, etc., when
the entire program was upset by
the influenza epidemic. The
Fair had to be called off.
And so now it will be good
news to the public to know that
a bigger and better Fair will be
held this fall, and the manage
ment is already active in plans
therefor.

Died Wednesday Night.
Coroner's Inquest.

In fight that occurred in front of the
residence of B. Cole, at Entwistle village,
Wednesday at noon, Pearl Wade was
shot three times through the side, by
Will Ivey, and died in the late afte-nocn n
at the James hospital.
Coroner A. M. Smith held an inquest
Thursday morning with the following
jury: M. L. Picklesimer, ]. S. Boggan,
w. M. Hale, E. E. Hamer, w. B.. Flake
and X. A. Kendall. After hearing the
testimony Of Hattie Cole, E. Mcdonald,
Joe Forbis, and Lester Dunlap, the jury
rendered its decision that Wade came to
his death from pistol shots at the hands
of Will Ivey.
Miss Cole testified that Wade was in
front of her house at noon Wednesday
and said he hadn't been treated right and
that he was waiting for Ivey. Other
witnesses testified that when Ivey passed
few minutes later Wade struck him
and that in the tussle Ivey shot three
times.
Pearl Wade was about 35 years old
and was section foreman in the spin
ming room Of which Will Ivey was over
seer, at Entwstle. mill. 1t is said that
Wade was sick for several days with
rheumatism and in his absence Ivey
placed another man on his job; wher
Wade returned to work Ivey is said tc
have informed him that he had a better
JOB for him than the one he held, and {
job that would suit his rheumatic condi
ton better. The fight is understood tc
have resulted from feeling engendered
by this.
Wade was brought to Rockingham
right after being shot, and then carried
to the James hospital at Hamlet. His
intestines were perforated in nine places
death resulted about dusk.
Ivey, after the shooting, went to Supt
Hopes Office and there awaited the com
ing of the officer. He was then lodgee
in Jail to await a preliminary hearing
