Tobacco Market Hesitates as Buyers Hold Back Prices
The Lancaster market stays quiet awaiting Congress action on tobacco tax changes. Farmers push for 25 cent wrapper prices while buyers with stock on hand anticipate declines. California buyers and local firms such as John Moore & Co. purchase small lots, with New York and Connecticut markets showing varied, low ready-for-sale prices in old stock and new crop speculation.

Local townsman Beck foils several runaways in Market Square
John Beck of our town earned praise in Manheim last week for halting a runaway horse and hitching to a sleigh. He then stopped a wheeled beer wagon that began moving, and with a bystander prevented a mule team from causing damage to a wagon. Also noted is Joe Wisaler’s turkey day mishap with a smoking cigar. The item critiques the Lititz press and accuses the Express of copying from the Record.
