The crop of 1889 Is com I tiff into favor
with buyers, and the past week tliere were
uumereus dlckerlngs for Urge packing.
Among the Miles of this crop reported are
parkings of 330 cases by Hitler t Butter,

large lets const! ni mated during the week.

sold principally by Lancaster packers te
manufacturers in small lets.
The weather has been unfavorable fur the
dinting of tobacco and very little has been
set out by farmers. With geed weather
for a week or ten days the greater part of
the crop of 1810 would be in the ground.
Indication i, from reperts roceived from
several sections, are that the acreage will
be about the same as in 1880, with mere
Havana planted and less seed leaf.
Stray crops of the 1889 yield are still being
picked up. About nil that can be bad is
secured and in the warehouses of the pack
ers, several donlers concluded their pack
ing en Saturday nud ethers will finish this
week.

Wall street in its palmiest days could
net have presented a mere exciting picture
than Water street does te-day." And the
excitement and turmoil of the street are
all about the Sumatra. Our Importers who
were in the habit of keeping only banking
hours can new be met with in their etllces
at 7 o'clock in the morning and as late as
8 and 9 in the evening, toiling and sweat
ing nil day lung in their shirt sleeves and
disregarding the outside world as If it
were existing only in imagination. Te
such an extent are their mental and physi
cal powers absorbed in the sale of Su-mut-a.
Brokers and buyers are crowding
theli eniccs constantly, lighting almost for
the acquisition of any let of Sumatra the
importer may be disposed te let them
have, l'rlce and quality have become sec
ondary considerations. When but a short
time age an importer thought hlmself
lucky te be permitted te send a couple of
sample bales representing a let he is te-day
impertuned te reserve en tire lets even with
out any sample whatevei. Te our own
knowledge a let of a hundred and seventy
odd bates were ordered last week within 21
hours by thrcediirrnt parties and iu our
prosencoalntof three hundred and eighty
odd bales was sold which was oxpectod te
land only te-day. Quantities soem te have
become of no object. Where a man !ought
formerly Si bales he buys new 1W) and
mere. Even the small manufacturers are
making arriingoments for supplles te last
tliem from one te two years. The old stock
has been nearly cleared oil' the market en
tirely. If the proseut excitement should
continue, and the prospects hid that It will
rather grew than decrease, evcry bale
even or the new Importation will have
left the Importers' hands before the new
duty will go into effect. Fer thus far
the principal buyers have ceme from the
Wekl, whero they understand much better
the drill of political opinion than they de
in New Yerk. Transactions for the week
amounted te 1.S00 bales, prices going as
high as SJ.23 for old and 82.35 for new
Sumatra. The next inscription will be in
Bremen en the 30th Inst, of 0,000 bales, and
in Amsterdam en June 3 of 14.000. Of
these inscriptions at least 5,000 bales will
be secured for the American market.
In domestic and Havana leaf the market
is comparatively quiet.

The amount of dnmaslli leaf sol lug this

Frem the Tobacco Leaf.
Handling of domestic cigar leaf seems
for the present te be laid en the shelf. The
ercut dcslru te obtain Sumatra has ever
shadowed all ethor kinds of cigar leaf. The
leaf that has been sold is that which Is sult sult
able for binders, ami If light in body and
the preper burn, a very satisfactory price
is obtainable. The leaf trude cannot be
called dull, but the sales are confined te
limited margins.

SrRUCK THE COLLECTOR.
t -
TnOMAS C0ML1S DECLINES TO PAY TllB
SCIML TAX BEIAMED FROM HIM.,
Charles Ltppeld In Attempting te Eu-
ferce the Previsions or Ills Warrant
Is Assaultod-Cenlln la Arrcated.
Themas Cenlln, clerk at the Stevens
house, has gotten hlmself Inte trouble.
Te-day Charles Llppeld, collector of delin
quent school tax. called en Cenlln for l.0e
school tax. Cenlln refused te pay it. The
collector then read the warrant issued te
him in accordance te law by the president
of the school beard. This warrant directs
the collector te levy en the goods and
chattels or the delinquent, and if there be
no goods and chattels te take the body of
the delinquent and ledge him in the county
jail, there te remain until the tax Is paid or
he be discharged by due process of law.
After reading the warrant deniand was
was again madeaud again Cenlln refused
te pay. The collector, said he proposed te
carry out the directions issued and took
held of Cenlln. About the tlme that Mr.
Llppeld took held or him he was struck
by Cenlln. The blew obliged him te re
lease his held, and, net caring te have any
rough and tumble light, the collector left
and consulted the judiciary commlttce of
the beard. He was advised te make a
criminal complaint and he went be fore Al
derman Barr. There a charge was pre
ferred against Cenlln for " knowingly, wil
fully and forcibly ebstrucllng.reslstirg and
assaulting an officer In the oxccutlen of
legal process." A warrant was placed In
the hands of Constable Crawford and when
seryed Cenlln will give bail.
Cenlln went en the presumption that
the collector could net arrest him. In that
he is mistaken. The collector's warrant Is
bread and swecplng.and under it lie clearly
has the right te arrest and ImprUen for
failure te iay school tax, when the demand
is mede for the saine in accerdance with
law.
The beanl of directors will probably
make a test case of the present arret, and
if the law Is us II Is construed by the beat it's
legal members, it will boauexpenslvocaie
for Mr. Cenlln.
A MUDDY PICNIC.
Hew An Afternoon mid Evening Wan
Spent nt Tell's Huln.
At Tell's Huln yesterday aftornoen the
"Jelly Bachelors,'' a social organization
composed or young men who have head
quarters In Lecher's hall, Centre Square,
guve a picnic. Although the ralu poured
down hard all afternoon it Interfered very
little with the attendance, as peeple who
make up their minds te attend a Hairs
of this kind don't allow a little thing like
rain te keep them nway. There was qulte
a large crowd present und the cars et the
KastEnd line did a geed buslness. A great
many women and girls were en the
grounds. The bills stated that no Improper
characters would be allowed en the
grounds, but thcre was no discrimination.
Everybody that had "the price" was
admitted and many besides. The result
was that the peeple were pretty well mixed.
The rain uiade the ground very muddy
and the women, many or whom wero
summer suits, paraded around In the soft
earth together with the men. Thedanclng
lloer was covered with a thick coating of
mud, yet theso who slid around upon It
thought they were enjoying tliemsolves.
During the aftornoen a fight was started
and a number of young men, Including the
Witch boys, from the eastern part el the
town, peunced upon Charles Brockenrldgo.
The latter made it very warm for the whele
of thorn until he slipped in the mud, when
several fellows jumped him, striking and
kicking ktm in the face and about the
body. Men rolled about in the mud until
they looked like turtles, and the light was
finally brought te a clese by Censtuble
Billy Price, who had net goue te the
grounds te koep the peacohutte have seme
fun. He pulled a blackjack but made no
attempt whatever te arrest auv of the
flghters. although he knew all. The man
agers of the affair claim that theydidall In
tholrpeworlo prevent disorder, yetlhey
did net have an olllcer of any kind en the
grounds te keep order nor will they prosc presc
c ite any of the offending peeple. Hrockon Hreckon Hrocken
ridgo has sued the Wltchs at Alderman
Ualbach's for assault and battery.
As a mud picnic it was a gre.it succes",
and the managers are said te have made
seme money. As it as getten up for that
purpese they are perfectly satislled.

his right hand, and new-a-days this ambl ambl ambl
doxlreus quality lluds play in the class
room when he puts a proesltlou en the
blackboard equally well with clther hand.
Still mere remarkable Is Professer's Lyte's
ability te write two different sentences,
ene 'with each hand, simultaneously.
In a gcneral way the habit of ambidex
terity is ene te which young children
can easily be trained. The case of the
late Judge Joremiah Black illustrates ene
ndvuntuge which the umbidoxtreus man
has evor Ids fellow mortals. Only a year
or two prier te his death a railroad accident
lamed his right arm and compelled him te
tesch his left hand the chirographic art.
This sorves te illustrate net only the pa pa pa
tlonce and persistence of Judge Black in
his old age but emphasizes ene of the
manifold ail vantages of ambidexterity.
Stanley Itopllesto Lord Salisbury.
The Londen Timet en Monday morning
Srlntcd a long and caustic loiter from Mr,
tauley, In reply te the recent utterances
or Lord Salisbury. Mr. Stanley declares
that he has nothing but a sonllmeulal in
terest In any part or Africa, but he says
that, ou finding that many of his friends
have embarked their mono' in an African
outerprlso en the strength or a charter net
worth a counterfeit sixpence, unless the
tonus of the understanding with Germany
are rigidly adhered te, and being e very Indi
cation of a disposition en the part of the
government te help Germuus Ins toad of
Englishmen, he lias urged his friends te
discover the exact limits of their territory.
He wishes no quarrel with elther Germany
or England, but says boldly that if the
German colonial demands be granted it
would be mera economical te make Ger
many a gift of the whele British sphere.
Then British Investors might obtain se
many shillings for the pounds they se
credulously have been victimized out of.
In conclusion he declares that the Gor Ger
man sphere is the finest In Africa, and
adds: "Still their cry is 'Give, give!' H
veu think they nre better adapted than the
English te civilize the African, de nothing
half-hoartedly. Yield all, Including Egypt.
Never u word of pretost shall you iiear
from me. Excosslve amiability may be be bo
cemo nn infirmity, and the lutlrmlty of
negligonce, like ether dlsoases, grows till It
cuds In chronic senility."

There Is net a paper in this city that has a

that he dees. They de voted as much

criticised the playing as they had

t Is certain that they should net be ex ex ox

teams as Alteena evor hail and the iiowt iiewt
