and two hundred case lots are now daily
occurrences with many houses that are
holding desirable stock, and there is very
little wrangling about prices. While
they cannot be considered very high,
with the exception of some fancy hold

sactions for the week amounted to nearly
5000 boxes.
The Sumatra situation does not appear
as rosy as the condition of the domestic
leaf, and yet its day is soon to come, too,
and very soon at that. The figures pub

of Sumatra on hand and the certainty
of very limited supply of the new crop
will no doubt set many people thinking.
1t is one of the peculiarities of the leaf
market that the activity in certain lines
always comes in rush after weeks of
despairing dullness. And then the mar

the new crop. In the meanwhile, the
old one is fast disappearing, and the new

LANCASTER New ERA, June 6, 99.
Trade is quiet and yet goods are sell
ing; slowly but certainly most of the old
goods have been picked up, and good
many of the new ones along with
them. Old goods are getting scarce and
what are left will no doubt soon be
swept away. The following sales have
been reported to us: @. HI. Welchans u
Co. bought 300cs and sold ITO; Walter S.
Bare sold 56cs and Hensel & Lefevre sold
24Ocs, making total of 766cs. For the
corresponding week of last year the sales
were 1,791cs.
The greater part of this years crop
has been planted. The weather has been
very favorable to that portion of the
work and now hot weather has come
along to start the plants growing. There
were several heavy showers during the
week which helped along very materially.
So far as we can learn some localities
will plant more than last year, while
several sections report less amount.
Perhaps it is safe to say about the usual
acreage will be set out,

OF course we have no sales from the
growers to report. Naturally, the sales,
aside from the packers, will be few and
far between for the present. We were
pleased to learn that Taylor q Beekman
of Westfeld has sold their 200cs lot at
the very fair price of 30c through. This
sale was made to Sutter Bros.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Deerield: "The ground is very dry, and
rain is being prayed for by all. The work
of transplanting is being done under
difficulties. Plants are in sufficient quan-
tity, but the fight against cut worms and
dry weather is slightly discouraging, yet
has to be done. A full crop will be set,
perhaps a little increase" Hatfield,

may have to wait week for them.

others are through setting" Wethers-
field, May %: "SOme of the tobacco
plants are nearly large enough to set.
We need rain to hurry along the small
plants. Some have been watering their
beds every day. No sales to report"
Hinsdale, n H.: "There are but few
lots of old tobacco in town. There has
been few acres set the past week. 1t
is very dry, but those were set several
days ago, and are looking very we'll
where they have used a plenty of water.
There are some very fine beds, but most
of the plants are small; won't do to set
before the 18th. There will be about
95 acres set in town. We need rain for
all crops" Cultivator.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, June 8, '99.

In reviewing the market for the week
we find little doing in the way of sales
from this point. All are apparently busy
finishing up bits of the '98 packing, and
some asserting rooms have not yet closed.
We hear of one transaction about to be
made which will involve about 530cs,
but as yet there is nothing definite.
The weather still continues favorable
with the exception of cool night now
and then, and one or two high winds
which have done damage to sheds etc. in
sections where they happened to strike.
But with the present conditions we see
no reason why resetting cannot be gen
orally begun within a week.
Farmers are urged to study conditions
carefully before enlarging their crop, and
not allow previous successes to run away
with judgement in the raising Of the '99
crop.-Farm and Home.

New YORK, June 7, '99.

Business in seed leaf is little more
active, although the extremely warm
weather has had slightly depressing
effect on home, trade during the past
three days. Old tobaccos are held at a
good firm price, and scattered lots are
being picked up slowly. Holders are
pose of these goods. A few good sized
seed and Pennsylvania, have been made
during the past week, but parties inter
ested are inclined to keep the transac-
tions and prices quiet. Indications for
a good fall business are favorable. A re-
preventative packer said today: "NeXt
fall the new goods will be launched upon
a market more barren of tobacco than
has been the case for years. The tobacco
now passing out of the hands OF packers
and dealers is going almost directly into
consumption, and manufacturers will
take hold of the best and medium grades
rapidly. The failure of the last years
crop in Brazil and San Domingo will
force foreign markets to depend almost
exclusively on the American product,
and this guarantees a profitable export
trade" About 800cs of '97 Wisconsin
were disposed of in running lots, and
900 bales of '90 Florida changed hands.
Havana Stocks of local importers are
so low that it is almost impossible to feel
the pulse of the market. Prices have
stiffened considerably during the past
four weeks, and although there are many
inquiries and much looking at samples,
only a small amount of tobacco has
changed hands during the week past.
Among the sales reported were III
bales 1893 Vueltas at Soc to 81; 90 bales
1893 Vueltas at 90c; 45 bales 1898 Vuel
tas at 96; "a bales 1898 Remedies, 1st

is going on in this branch of the trade.
Owners of carried-over tobaccos are
steadily reducing their holdings, and
larger percentage of transactions done
during the week has been in old goods.

Trading in the '98 tobacco both from
first hands and packers is still an i'm
portant factor in the business of this
market. Scattering lots remaining with
the growers are being quietly picked up
whenever favorable terms can be made.
Some large deals with packers as we'll as
many small ones are reported. The
large operator is the Bamberger firm of
Philadelphia who have added probably
3500cs more to their already heavy hold
ings of the '96 crop. The heaviest tran
saction is 1400cs of the packing of Sover-
hill & Porter. A Goes lot of '97 has been
sold by Bekkedal of Westby to Under

This has been busy week with the
growers who are working early and late
getting out their new crop which is now
being transplanted under very favorable
conditions. Rains have been frequent
enough to put the soil in right condition
for securing an excellent stand in the
field. This work is now we'll under way
in all the growing sections.

exceed 500cs or 10 car loads from this
station to all points for the week past

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.
Edgerton,

IF the eastern dealers are anywhere
near as fortunate in disposing of their
holdings of '99 Wisconsin tobacco as the
local holders have been to date, the 9o
crop is proving the most ready seller the
state has produced in many years. 1t is
easy enough to count up when not less
than 10000 cases of this tobacco has
been sold by local packers the past
month, an unusual circumstance before
the crop has passed the crucial curing
process It is rarely that much tobacco
is sold on packers samples until after 1t
has passed through the sweat. But this
season the trade evidently have faith
that the crop is bound to come through
the cure in sound condition and are not
assuming many chances of damage that
in most crops are important factors OF
consideration The sale of SO large
portion of the crop has a gratifying
feature in that it ensures to local packers
good profits on their investments, which
are always a chance element in opera
tions of this character It releases their
capital after an investment of scarcely
more than six months and leaves them
free to 60 into the next crop at an early
date if conditions are at that time favor
able. Altogether the selling out of SO
| many local packers is viewed as one OF
| the fortunate turns of the trade which
does not present itself but at occasional
| intervals.

considerable quantity of Havana seed,
too, especially the sweat forced and spot
ted leaf. Little, if anything. will remain
to be disposed of at the Fall season, when

The Cradle & Strotz Tobacco Com
pany in South Water street, Chicago,
has been absorbed by the American To
bacco Company. An agent of the COM
pany was in Chicago few days ago 60
ing over the books, and the deal was
consummated with little difficulty. The
firm of Cradle & Strotz was organized in
'68 by Nicholas Strotz, who afterward
took B. Cradle into partnership. Since
1871 the factory has remained in its
present location at Fifth Avenue and
South Water streets. Company was in
corporated in 1898 with paid up capital
stock of s150,OOO. 1t is large manu-
facturer of smoking tobacco, and it has
enjoyed an especially large trade in that
city. 1t employs about 150 persons.

In this connection it is interesting to
note what the U. S. Tobacco Journal says
about Sumatra leaf:
''The stock of Sumatra in this country
has been reduced to such an extent that
there will hardly be left any surplus at
the end of the year. This will sound like
a revelation, and will prove sensational
revelation if all the facts are thoroughly
studied and duly appreciated. On May
1st the stock of wrapper leaf, which we
will assume to be all Sumatra, in all the
bonded warehouses throughout the
country amounted to 2,975,645 pounds,
or only 1900 bales. AS the consump-
ton of Sumatra averages still 1000 bales
per month, it is but simple question of
arithmetic to figure out that the 1880
bales will just tally with the average
consumption during the eight remaining
months of the year. But it will be Oh
jected that in this exhibit no account is
taken of the new importations. True
enough. But the new importations will
be of very little account. During the
month of April there were imported only
Ito bales, against $500 bales in April
last year, and the importations in April
yielded the largest quantity for the
American market. Since then only
few hundred bales were taken for our
consumption, and the consensus opinion
of all the American buyers who have
attended so far all the inscriptions
is that all the subsequent inscrip-
tions will offer but little for the Ameri
can market, not enough to cut any
figure. Hence the return of almost all
the principal buyers, an event which has
not happened since Americans com
menced to attend inscriptions. From
these observations it is safe to conclude
that Sumatra will become scarce article
before the '99 crop will come into the
market"
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-06-16

People who have been unable to ac-
count for the unusual and early move
ment of the '98 crop can find a partial
explanation in the fact that it seems to
be a we'll settled conviction in the minds
of the trade that Wisconsin must supply
the binder leaf and it is to this crop that
the manufacturers will look for the bet
ter class of binder stock for fine goods.
The last crop Of New England is very
largely wrapper leaf and is selling at
tremendously high prices because of its
unusual excellence. This fact takes out
of the binder market 25O00 cases to be
supplied by some other state, and Wis
consin is next in line Of succession. But
the most encouraging feature of all is
the tendency of the manufacturing trade
to return to domestic wrapper on high
priced cigars. It is believed that 80 per
cent of the New England crop will be
cut for wrappers, and other states tobac-
co that can be used for this purpose will
also be wanted. The fad for an imported
wrapper is at last working off and do
mestic leaf wrapper will continue to
come more and more into favor broaden

which is printed for whst it is worth:

Blame 1t On the SCa1pers.

The Southern Pacific road has dec i'd
ed that il will not give half rates for
the benefit of the Industrial fair to be
held here in May, this being the only
initial line which refuses to d. so. Mr..
Morse. general passenger agent of the
road. has as his excuse for not contri-
buting thus to the success of the big
fair that it will be ruination for the
revenues of the company, that the
scalper will get in his work, and thus
for three weeks out of a months busi-
ness leave the road at the mercy of
these people. Mr.. Morse says, coupon
tickets, will put quietus for the time
being upon the operations of the scalp
er, so that his company will not lose
so much money by the deal, he will be
glad to give reduced rates and excur-
sions not only now and then, but every
day of the fair season.
Mr.. Morse is very candid about the
matter. He says his company is not in
the business of railroading for fun. and
that it does not propose to lose SO
much, especially when the losses go
not to the fair, but to few scalpers in
the city.
The passenger people of the South
ern Pacific believe, however, that the
city will take some steps to protect
