The 1891 Tobacco Crop.
The Western (Cin.) Tobacco
Journal says: As for Wrappers
the sales do not show any Uood
to Fine that win bear compan
son with last year, they being
aiseasea, ana laciting in tex
ture and body. The sales noted
in several markets for the past
two weeks do not present ten
per cent or the uood iu Fine
Wrappers ef last year. In Com
men to Medium there will be a
fair proportion, but of an un
satisfactory character, as they
are deficient of body and not
leafy. The condition of the
crop, .from a Wrapper stand
point, is, we consider, a very
lortunate one. n a crop ap-
Droximatine last vear's had
been produced it would have
been disastrous to the Trade,
while on the contrary it pres
ents a nopetul future,' ana the
holders of Wrappers will have
an opportunity to realize a prof
it There will be no "boom" or
sudden upheavals in the pur
chase of them, and it is well
there should not be. as sudden
inflations are followed by dam
aging results' . There is no
doubt of Wrappers being a good
holding, but it is bad business
policy to hold for the "lastfjeh"
ny," which never comes. That
fallacy was demonstrated by
holders of Burley Tobacco in
1887, who could have realized
from 25 to 35 cents, but held
thinking it would go to 40 cents,
and the result was they were
dumped." There is a limit to
the price of a commodity, at
which it can be used at a profit,
and - supply and demand, and
the prospects of future produc
tion, control it.
Looking at the Cutter feature
of the crop it bears no compari
son with that of 1890. While
that of last year was one that
ceuld hardly be excelled, this
crop would be difflcut to be de
preciated, as it is worm eaten,
ofjnarrow leaf , and not as col
ory. While many had predicted
that the demand for Cutters
would be a one-s'.ded question
and prices would go down to
starvation ebb, on account of
the policy of the American To
bacco Company, it is gratifying
to note the predictions have not
been realized. Europe is falling
into line with the popular idea
of relishing milder Tobacco,
consequently there is an active
demand for "Brights," which
are ranidlv reblacing the "Old
Style" Black flats of Virginia,
the heavy Westerns of Ken
tucky and Tennessee and of
Missouri, which btate at one
time was auite a factor as an
exporter of Tobacco, but has
virtually quit growing Tobac
co, nun tnese conuiwuns
healthy competition will con
tinue to exist, and keep the
market in a good condition we
hope. It is an established fact
that Brights and Burleys will
continue to grow popular all
over the world, being milder
and more palatable to the pre
vailing tastes of the day than
Black Tobacco, with nicotine
pouring from every pore.
Smokers and Fillers are found
quite abundantly in the crop,
but tne Fillers are lacking in
body, and there is an active
and spirited demand for them,
owing to increasing trade of the
Tobacco manufacturers of
North Carolina and Virginia.
The most cruelty in the
"stitch, stitch, stitch," busi
ness in cities is practiced by the
sweaters, who contract with a
a large firm to make garments
ata given price. Then they
sublet the work to poor women
in garrets and tenement houses
and squeeze these victims of
ignorance and weak will down
te the last, lowest rates. One
lanre Chicago house has taken
a stand against the sweater. It
gives out no cloakaaking to
sweaters.

of the John Street church, the

Five little Cnlckens.
Five little chicks scarce like

I, too, am hungry since break,

I can sleep no more, just quietly
lie.
I would be satisfied with even a

The third little chick with a
groan did admit:

nappy I'd be.
The thiniest bite were enough
for me."

erless here,
f but a green leaf I could have
for my cheer."

a sign and a start
"Yes,.a leaflet would fill with
great joy my nean."

with doleful cries,

not rise!
Content I would be with a grain
of corn.
