FIRST CASE WEATHER ARRIVES
Three Days of Dampness Bring Down
Part of the Crop

The damp rainy period commencing
Friday night had the effect of bring
ing tobacco into excellent case in this
locality and growers were not slow to
avail themselves of the opportunity.
Considerable stripping is in progress,
but we have not heard of any complete
crops being removed from the poles.
The good case was not general as no
fog accompanied the rain, and the To-
cation of many sheds is such that fog
is necessary for case.

hotels in nearly all the larger cities
are crowded with persons waiting for
steamer and railway accommOda tions.
Strikes in Bulgaria. Serbia and Italy,
together with the lack of through
trains and the impossibility of getting
checked baggage through because of
theft, have forced travellers to rely
chiefly on steamers to French ports.
The steamer lines have also been badly
disorganized by labor troubles and
most ships are many days behind their
schedules.
Although the United States Shipping
Board has many ships into Constanti.
nople and the other large Near Eastern
ports, it has no regular passenger sail
