WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET


Buying of the new crop is proceeding
in several of the growing sections of the
state but the movement is losing much
of the hurry and excitement of the
previous trailing in the fields Very
few dealers, outside of those who were
in at the opening have thus far been at
tracted into the deal Quite a little to-
bacco has been purchased during the
week in and about the Rio and Oxford
vile sections and in some localities pretty
we'll cleaned up. The information reach
es us sthat local dealers in Vernon and
Crawford counties are following the
smoke of the earlier battle and have
bought quite generally all along the line. |
A conservative estimate of the buying to
date by the two leading firms would |
place from 500 to 1000 acres for the Hoff-
man Culton firm and possibly as much |
more by Sutter Bros. 1t is questionable
whether the liberal sales SO far made
will induce a general movement of the |
crop at present. Sales quoted below in !

some trading in old leaf is reported
The most important transaction is the
purchase of 8O0cs of 81 by III. w. Child

way Bros. sold 1OOcs of '98 and L. B.

The harvest of the new crop is fast
an end. A few struggling lots
are still standing but the cool nights will
have a tendency to hustle them in.

early in the week, also hail. The weather
mas been fairly good for curing.
The shipments out of storage have ,
.eached total of TOO cases for the week {
rom this station to all points. Since
