Up to Tuesday of this week the buy
ers and the tobacco have been frozen up
as it were, making matters rather quiet
in this line. Tuesday the weather be-
gan to moderate and things are thawing
out enough to allow buyers to begin rid
ing and buying again. There is some
complaint that the tobacco is yet frozen
considerable and in an unfit condition to
handle much.
Just as soon as the condition of the
tobacco will permit of handling, buying
will begin again with about it's old-time
activity and with prices fully as high as
before the freeze. Every day buyers are
coming into the state. adding fresh life to
the contestants,

LANCASTER New ERA. Feb, IA, 49,
Nobody, we presume, expected to do
much trade during the past week, be-
cause of the inclement weather and the
drifted condition of the roads. They
have not been disappointed, and we have
heard of no sales, either large or small

The continued appearance in the field
of fresh buyers tends to keep the move
ment of the new crop going in most of
the growing sections at rate that is
reducing the quantities unsold surpris
ingly. Already in some sections the crop
is pretty well picked up now requiring a
good deal of riding to secure anything
like choice selections. Prices continue
without much change, the better lots
readily bringing &c or well towards it,
while the storm and hailed leaf sells
lower in the scale.
Sales coming to notice since last re-
port are:

Some inquiry has developed of late for
old stock and the growing districts are
being hunted for crops remaining in
growers hands for which from s to 1Oc
are readily paid. Packers too, are find

largest transaction in this line noted is
the sale of the Rinde packing of '93 at

New YORK Feb. 1S, '99.
The market was snowbound during
the greater part of this week; $50 was New
York and the country. The condition of
the streets was prohibitory to any ap-
proach to the offices; there was no mail
for some days, and shipping was out of
the question. Business naturally suf-
fered under these circumstances, but as
soon as the city thawed out, the latter
part Of the week, the market was invaded
with refreshing orders. AS the manu-
facturers live on the policy of supplying
themselves only from hand to mouth,
three days isolation made them short of
stock. The principal business done was
in old domestic filler and in Havana leaf.
Nearly twelve hundred cases of domes-
tic leaf changed hands, chiefly Pennsyl-
yania and Onondaga. Some old Con-
necticut, however, had the call, too, and
some of Ohio's fancy filler leaf. For
Havana there is very lively demand,
regardless of price. The '9S Remedies
are selling as fast as they are landed, and
they go into immediate consumption.
Vueltas and Partidos were also eagerly
picked up in spite of the wrapper per
centage duty. The hriskness of the Hav
vana market is not surprising. All the
old stock is nearly gone, and in spite OF
all kinds of substitutes, the genuine Ha=
vana leaf is still an absolutely necessary
factor for our cigar industry. The SUI
matra market holds it's own. Only there
is greater demand for the '96 leaf than
there has been for months past. 1t IS
quality and ripe colors the manufacturers
are after more now than they have been
for years past. The prosperity they are
enjoying seems to incite them to improve
the quality of their output. Hence the
brisker demand for Havana and quality

ity.-Journal.

Piles of the natural-sweated leaf have
been received and have fine appearance
but the goods are not generally on the
market as yet. There has been some-
thing of demand for 1893 Wisconsin
BIS and C's and good steady inquiry
for filters continues. No particular large
sales have been noted, however.
Havana-The activity which has char
acterized the Havana tobacco market
during the past six weeks continue. And
when the extreme scarcity of the COM
modify is taken into consideration, it can
be said that good quantity of tobacco
is moving very rapidly. An importer
said today that he had sold over 1,2OO
bales of tobacco, mostly Remedies, since
February l. Another importer said that
his house sold more goods in January,
1899, than during the seven months pre-
ceding. The general explanation for
this is that competition has compelled
manufacturers to make finer goods, and
that they have ceased to look for weak
ening in prices. Among the sales re-
ported during the past week were: 300
bales 81 Remedies at S5 cents, in bond;
500 bales '97 Remedies at about soc, in
bond; rs bales '97 1st capaduras at 60c
in bond; and 80 bales '97 Vuelta Abajo
at p. t. A lot of Is bales of '97 Porto
Rico filters brought CSC in bond.
Sumatra-There is no Ichange appar-
ent in the Sumatra branch of the leaf
market. Fair-sized sales are made oc-
casionally, but business is far from being

In defense of increased acreage of to-
bacco it can truly be said that the mar
ket for Wisconsin leaf is continually
broadening Our tobacco is coming more
into general use by domestic manufac
turers than ever before and the field is
subject to still greater extensions The
cheap cigar and stogie manufacturers are
consuming larger quantities of Wisconsin
class is enormously increasing. But it
should be kept in mind that cheap to-
baccos are necessary for cheap cigars and
fractionof cent often turns trade
with this class of purchasers of leaf and
an over stocked market and cheap stock
would be a condition the stOgie men
would like to see. The export outlets
which some years takes almost unlimit-
ed quantities of Wisconsin leaf is always
clamoring for cheap goods and any year
is liable to see it's needs supplied by
Brazil or other countries that are com
petitors of ours in the worlds market.
These are conditions that need be dis
cussed from every point of view when
the dangers of over production confronts
u.s. The older tobacco growers of this
state do not care, we believe to repeat
the experiences of '85 and again of the
years 1894. Whatever warning the
writer makes here will probably not
change the determination of growers for
increased acreage, but we can at least
place ourselves On, record and join the
throng in II told -you-so" later on.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

In view of the aattering prices which
Wisconsin growers have been able to
realize for the better grades of the 9o
crop-with the strong probability that
quotations will continue until the crop is
lifted nothing which the writer con-
ceives of will prevent the planting of an
enormous tobacco crop the coming sea-
SON.. No crop since the 80 has brought
the farmers such satisfactory money re-
turns and this fact alone is sufficient in
ducement for still larger increase of
acreage. 1t would not be surprising if
the 99 crop exceeded 10000 acres and in
the opinion of the writer this is more to-
bacco than our state ought to produce.
With big yield 10000 cases might be
thrown upon the market another season
which is likely to be more Wisconsin
leaf than the demands of the trade
needs. Especially will this be true if the
coming crop should turn out to he an in
ferior one with a large proportion OF it
unsuitable for the needs of the domestic
manufacturer. We can see no other out
come than that the farmers are deter
mined to produce an over stocked mar
ket and none will fail to recognize what
the result will be. A big crop, larger
than the needs of the trade cannot mean
otherwise than low prices probably at
figures less than the cost of production.
This is condition we desire to present
to our readers for their careful consider
alton before the size of the next years
tobacco fields are staked out.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-02-24

The uncertainties of the tobacco crop
is hazard the farmer is generally ac-
quainted with. Scarcely nothing that is
produced from the soil is subject to SO
many adversities and although the grow
er is often disappointed is hardly ever
irelyedisheartened. On this point a
writer in an eastern exchange says:
For generation growers have been
studying the special requirements of this
crop. They have experimental In every
way and have given the utmost care and
attention to the subject in their strife to
produce the fine quality so much de-
sired. The best growers will say that
they know of nothing further to be done
in this direction. They press the button,
nature does the rest, but unfortunately
nature does not always do things alike.
To be sure the soil may be considered as
a machine, but that machine does not
work with that mathematical correctness
that some of the inventions of man do.
The conditions that govern crop are
so many and so varied, so subtitle in their
influence that it may be said that we
have never produced two crops alike,
which is certain fact, no matter how
closely we may follow the methods; and
as far as we can Judge, with all the con-
ditions that have proved eminently sue
cessful in given year, the result is more
than likely to turn out very different in
another year. There are SO many points
in which failure may occur. The crop
may be grown and harvested under the
best apparent conditions, and yet the
curing season be bad, and result in an
''off year" Then again, the sweat in the
cases is a governing point, and may re-
suit adversely, even after the first two
stages are assured. Not only growers
themselves are frequently deceived as to
the merits of their crops, but the most
expert dealers also. In fact this is more
frequently the case, when the crop is
bought in the field or in the earlier
stages Of curing, when the leaf looks we'll
