GAINESVILLE, WIS.,, Nov. 10, '99.

Local market conditions have quieted
down somewhat from last week and but
little is being done toward buying the 99
crop. A few buyers are riding, but few
contracts are signed. The buyers claim
that the farmers ask too much for their
tobacco more than the general market
warrants them in paying.
The farmers are firm in their holding
prices and calmy await another mad
rush by the agents of the American To-
bacco Co. or some other large firm, as
has been done twice this fall, in each in
stance the buyers exceeded the expec-
tation of the farmers. Owing to the
firmness of the farmers it is not prob
able that much buying will be done for
some time. Around the warehouses a
fairly healthy business is reported. r.
G. Merrill sold 1O0cs '98: Joseph Grundy
sold about 1O0cs of '97 and '98; G. H.
Rumrill, about 4Ocs sold.
Joseph Grundy has returned from
trip to central Illinois and st. Louis.
Merritt Havi.and returned this week
from an extended trip of five weeks
through Canada and several eastern
states. Samuel Grundy is building a
storage warehouse on Western avenue,
32x60 feet, with a capacity of 7OOcs.
George Decker is building large to-
bacco warehouse on Milton avenue

The opening of the present mouth was
marked with less activity than charac-
terized the closing of the month prev
ious. The fact that the week was broken
by holiday interfered to some extent
with business; and besides, after a full
month of active dealing, such as October
furnished, it is not surprising if business
slackens down for week or two during
the early part of the present month.
The 1898 Wisconsin is still selling readily
and is moving in good-sized lots There
is very fair demand for new Pennsyl-
vania and all kinds of filters.
Sumatra-Although this branch of the
trade continues to lead in activity, it
has shared in the general falling off
which has been felt during the past
week. There are a few individual cases
in which good-sized deals have been put
through since our larst issue, and nearly
all importers are kept busy showing
goods, with sales in the prospective. On
the whole, the condition is quite salts
factory
Havana-The usual gap between the
passing of the old goods and the intro
duction of the new tobacco still yawns
in the trade, and there is little doing.
Manufacturers and jobbers find small
variety in the shape of 1889 goods as yet
and they are buying sparingly, with the
sole view of supplying only their i'm
mediate needs. Prospective purchasers
spend good deal of their time in the
market looking for old goods,-Leaf.

Sales are not abundant now. In fact
the crop is very largely bought up Pack
ers are busy asserting the leaf already
bought, and as far as we can learn the
crop is very free from any damage, ex-
cept, perhaps, that portion of the late
tobacco which was hail cut in couple
of towns, a considerable portion of which
was plowed in at once. Some few har-
vested it. The packing warehouses at
Whately Station, and one at the south
part of the town, commenced this week,
with nearly full quota of men. Sew
eral are at work in Hatfield and other
towns Sweating rooms seem to be
matter of course, and ere long we shall
have to quote sales of the SO crop of
Connecticut Havana and of seed leaf

LANCASTER New ERA, Nov. 7, '99.
So far as we can learn from hearsay as
we'll as personal observation, there is a
fair demand for cased goods and our re-
port shows that minor lots all over the
country are hunted out and carried off.
In fact there cannot be great deal left
in original hands and if the present de-
mand continues there soon will be none
at all. 1t is this clearing away of old
goods that encourages the buying of the
new crop, especially by country packers
The sales of old goods that have been
brought to our attention are as follows:
Hildebrand Bros, sold 3O0cs; Isaac Stirk
& Co., 63cs; Aaron Charles, 45cs; NJ M.
Fry sold 101cs and bought 125; DR.. Weist
sold 85cs; John Swope 105cs; in all 825
cases. For the corresponding week Of
last year the sales were 432cs.
The eagerness to buy the new crop
still continues as lively as ever and the
stiffening in prices has driven only few
out of the market. We have no lists of
sales to offer, but the market price for
average tobacco just now is 8 cents
through, with an occasional extra lot at
8 or 10c. Some Havana seed has sold as
high as tic; we have heard of only one
lot at that price. 1t is conceded that
farmers are getting all the tobacco is
worth, because Sc through is equivalent
to 91ac for wrappers, and means about
lie by the time it is packed in cases. To
buy last years goods, knowing just what
you will get, seems to many better than
to buy the new crop at the prevailing
rate, with SO many risks to run.

New YORK, Nov. II, 99.
The market remains active and strong
not only here, but also with the leaf job
bing trade throughout the entire country.
Never before have the reports of our cor
respondents been as glowing about the
trade activity at any place from which
they report as at present. The life OF
the salesman on the road seems to have
become one of roses instead of thOrns.
Orders are never wanting, and the cause
the continued phenomenal activity OF
our cigar industry. The yearly statistics
will undoubtedly prove that never before
has such quantity of leaf tobacco beenA
used up than during the present year,
And every type finds it's takers, even if
it does not come up to perfection. For
the manufacturer is too busy man
nowadays to be too particular and waist,
time in experimenting with too many
samples And as long as the consumer
is satisfied with the smokes offered, and
crying for more, why should he bother
himself with being too over r-fastideousE
The only tone of discord heard in this
happy condition is about the price, which
does not advance in proportion either
with the demand for or the lack OF sup
ply. Sales for the week about 1000 boxes
of all kinds and descriptions.
The Sumatra market has been par
ticularly strong, and the past week was.
the red letter week of the year. Over.
700 bales changed hands, the bulk Of the
once decried '98 crop. Every Suuaaatra..
importer is busy, joyfully noting; the de-
pletion of his stock. High and low
priced goods, of old, ancient OR late i'm
portations, all find ready buyers, and on,
some marks old time profits are realized,
too.
The Havana market is in an equally
prosperous condition, only the supply is
not quite fit yet to come into the manu-
facturers' hands. But such sales as are
being made are fetching the advanced
price. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET


Buyers are actively riding many of the
growing districts but we find it rather !
difficult to make correct estimate upon
the amount of trading that is going on.
1t seems certain, however, that quite
good deal of the leaf has been contracted
for at from to Sc for selections, since
last report, and far greater amount of
the cheaper grades at less figures. The
buying is being conducted with more
careful methods of late and some deal |
ers are doing vast amount of riding for
the quantity of goods secured. Now
that casing weather is here others will
be able to more thoroughly post them
selves on the real merits of the crop than
heretofore
In our quotations we aim to give tran
sactions covering all grades but the |
higher priced sales are apparently hard |
er to get hold of:

Old goods continue to sell freely in
the eastern markets and local packers
are also enjoying liberal trade. G. L.
Culton reports the sale of 7OOcs during
the week. Frank Baines received sew
eral hundred cases of '03 from 0rowars
about Stoughton. John Soulman bought
15Ocs and disposed of about 1OOcs since
last report.
The week has brought ideal casing
weather and growers have beer afforded
chance to get down as much of their
hanging leaf as they like in excellent
condition. Stripping can now proceed
and very likely some early deliveries will
be effected.
The shipments out of storage this
week are among the largest of the sea-
son, indicating very extensive movements
of Wisconsin leaf in the eastern markets.
T. B. Earle has orders placed for 2OS cars
to be loaded from the Bamberger store
houses as fast as cars arrive, with goods
consigned to American Tobacco Co. at
their manufacturing points. A total of
2539cs or about So cars have been for
warded to all points from this market.
Since last report 583cs of cigar leaf were
exported from New York.

According to news dispatch another
attempt is being made to unite the clear
Havana cigar manufacturers into big
trust, having a capital of 10 million dol
lars. S.. Hernsheim Bros. & Co., New
Orleans, Eugene Vallens & Co., Chicago,
with eight or ten New York, Tampa and
Key West firms are included in the list
that makes up the deal. A simular
move was attempted few weeks ago
but fell through, it is alleged, because
some of the firms refused to guarantee
their brands of cigars.

DR.. Albert S. Woods, of the Division
of Vegetable Pathology, in the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is carrying on some
interesting tobacco plant experiments.
He is growing a lot of tobacco plants,
and they receive their nourishment from
bottled mixture which he deals out to
them at stated periods. The idea is to
try various substances and find out
whether they will thrive on a certain
diet, or whether they are injured by the
treatment which is given them. The
tobacco plants are grown in pots filled
with sterilized sand. Only boiled and
filtered water is given them. so that the
plants cannot receive any nourishment,
either soil or liquid, which is not intend
ed At present a mixture OF potash,
iron, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, lime, etc.,
is being used. This liquid is diluted |
with 500 parts of water, and a certain
definite amount is poured out on the |
plants. The condition of the plant is |
examined under variations of |
the mixture.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

Casing weather that prevailed few
days during the week has afforded an
opportunity for getting down another
portion of the hanging leaf and permits
of stripping to be carried on more ex-
tensively than any time before this sea-
son. Buyers will now also be permitted
to make a more thorough examination
into the merits of the crop than hereto
FORE Evidently their opinion has not
been definitely formed as to just what
the crop will pan out soto speak. A
good deal of late leaf has been seen in
the sheds in some localities that has
cured out dark and green during the
"haying" weather of the late fall. just
what proportion there is of the "tail
ends in the average crop or just what
place it will occupy in the warehouse
grading seems yet to be determined. 1t
is such matters as this that has deferred
a general movement Of the crop, and
when packers have fully settled in their
minds by more thorough examination
of the sheds when the leaf is in case con-
dition, they will be better able to un-
derstandingly enter the market. The
more conservative firms have just been
waiting to have few things settled be-
fore they joined the force that is riding
the growing districts.

On the question of annexation of to-
bacco growing countries the Louisville
Leaf says:
We think the United States has reason
to favor it's own people in preference to
those of any new possession it may by
conquest or otherwise acquire. Our
country has been made the greatest in
the world by ample protection to our in
dustries. In the face of a new regime,
in the mad scramble for expansion we
should not forget what has made us
great, and continue to protect those of
our industries that necessity and exped-
iency demand projections! Cuba does
not want free trade with this country,
and as for Porto Rico and the Philippines
we think higher civilization should be
| first secured before their knock for rec
ognition should be needed. The cigar
trade does not want free trade with our
new possessions. Why should congress
give this branch of the tobacco trade
something it alone should be the best
Judge as to whether it wants it Or not?
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-11-17

A correspondent writing from this
state to the Western Tobacco Journal
thus attempts to explain why local deal
ers are holding out of the present move
ment in the '99 crop:
1.-THE buyers claim that the farmers
are asking too much for their tobacco
and they will wait until the farmers
come down in prices somewhat. The
two mad rushes of the American Tobac-
CO Company and the Hoffmans have ex-
cited the farmers and they hardly know
what to ask for their crop. If those firms
had not started in early with a large
force of buyers and bid against each
other the farmers would have sold at
least cent pound cheaper, as the early
prices were above what they had ex-
pected. Then again the same firms en-
tered the hail cut sections and paid from
81 to &c, which prices were away above
what the growers in that district ex-
pected.
So far but few of the local buyers
have entered the field as purchasers,
they believe that general market condit-
ions do not warrant them in paying what
the farmers ask. The farmers are not to
be blamed for asking a high price, as
many who have sold could have gotten
cent a pound more shortly after they
contracted, so the others are bound to
ask enough"

On account of the recent trouble at Naco, the proposed celebration there has been done away with. This was deemed advisable by both the American and Mexican authorities. Having the celebration would attract many people from both sides of the line, and with the lrilking and carrying ony which is characteristic of those occasions, might end in another open rupture between the Mexicans and the cowboys.

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company, . ~.r Bisbee. Arizona.

"a This company owns 9 very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county ot Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and iadjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company ,on the north. The latter company has been in operation tor about twenty years, and employs about 1,5OO men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over a4,G00 ,OOO pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,O00,O0 and it has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopnent
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property ofefe Cochise company is fully as valuable, WRen it is +sWithin such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts seteoff in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, well and faverably known. in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise success in every respect, The board ot directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com- pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends, They own the con trolling interest in this property, and as protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and linn ited number of shares are offered at ten cents per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion. ~ .z~~

The game of baseball to be played at the new ball grounds near Don Luis next Sunday, September IF, at 3 O clock promises to be the greatest game played in Bisbee. Both, the Copper Queen office team and the A. tS S. E. R. R. nine, have been hard at work practicing for the big event.
 Word was received here today that all of Benson, headed by the venerable and best posted baseball crank in Arizona,. Fred s. Webster, would be up and help to cheer up the railroad boys.
 There will be rooters enough for both' sides, and the boys promise toiplay a. good stiff game. There will be no' wrangling between the two teams, and those who fail to go down will miss a. good game of baseball.
 The General Office team has received their suits, and the boys will present a. fine appearance when they start to play ball.
