New York.
New YORK Dec. 20. so.

The trade of the past week, like that
OF the entire month to date, has been
unusually active. This is not altogether
apparent from reported sales, but it is
known that some big transactions have
been consummated sub rosa. Just what
these consisted of and the conditions re-
lating thereto are being carefully kept
from public ken. 1t is known, however,
that 1898 Pennsylvania is in strong d.
mand; and were considerable deals in
this grade to be effected in the near fu-
ture, they would not occasion much sur
prise. From present indications it seems
likely that the market will continue COM
paratively active up to the end of the
year.
Sumatra-While the demand from
manufacturers for immediate delivery
shows falling off, some good sales have
been effected, to be invoiced next year.
Owing to the scarcity of desirable goods
in Holland, some active trading is going
on between importers here.
Havana-The demand for Havana con-
tinues strong, and the bulk of all impor-
tations are sold soon after liquidation.
The larger houses claim to have any
number of customers ready to buy goods
as soon as they arrive. Sales reported
this week amount to about 1900 bales,
mostly remedies.

The New York tobacco trade papers
are evidently pleased that the deal be
tween the American Tobacco Co. and
Kerbs, Wertheim & Schiller has been
declared off, The U. S, Tobacco Jour
nal in commenting upon the breaking OF
negotiations says:
Whatever the cause of the break may
be, and very plausible cause is being
given in our columns on behalf of Messrs.
K, W. & S., both parties are to be con-
graduated on it. Why Messrs. K, w.
& S., aftet having reached the proud
position of the largest cigar manufac-
turing concern in the United States,
should have wanted to sell out business
that was reported to net them 100000 a
year passed the comprehension of the
market. On the other hand, it could
just as little grasp the true .inwardness
of the purpose of the A. T. Co. in en-
barking upon the venture of cigar manu-
featuring by acquiring just one factory,
even if it was the largest concern. Sure
ly it could not control the cigar output
dred million cigars is like drop in the
ocean, considering the fact that our cigar
production. will reach total of nearly
five thousand four hundred millions dur
ing the present fiscal year. But it was
feared that it would demoralize the leaf
market. The buynrs of the A. T. Co. in
the tobacco fields are reported to be
rather easy going. Not having indi-
vidual interests to care for, nor being
under the strict watch and control of "a
principal who is an expert in buying
from and dealing with the tobacco grow
ers, those buyers are said to pay the
farmers rather more than less than the
market price for their crops and to take
along crops which a prudent packer
who buys for himself would not dare to
touch. The general complaint in the
market for the past few months has
been that the buyers for the AT. Co.
were driving the price in the tobacco
fields up to such figures that no indi-
vidual packer could venture to compete
with them, And if the K. W. & S. deal
had gone through and the company had
been compelled to supply leaf for hun
dred million more cigars, the individual
packing business would have suffered
terribly, in fact, a great many of them
would have been driven out of it alto
gether. No wonder therefore that the
failure of the deal was hailed in the
market as the best piece of news for the
week. And it may not be amiss to add |
we do not pretend to advise |
the A. L. Co., that it's cheroot business |
would prove much more profitable If it |
would instruct its buyers in the tobacco |
ields not to let the tobacco farmers |
nave it all their own way,

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Dec. I9, '99.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Dec. 19, 99.
The unexpected occurs in the tobacco
trade Just as it does in other depart
ments of human activity. Last week
was SO dull in the local trade that it was
not thought that much would be done
in cased goods before the opening of the
New Year Everybody said that stock
taking and holiday time would prevent
general trade to certainty. But it has
turned out otherwise, as the following
list of transactions which have been re-
ported to US clearly show: j. Bunzl Il
Son bought 140cs; B. F. Good & Com
pany sold 210cs; B. G.. Mellinger & Bros,
sold Toes of Havana BIS; M. M. Fry
bought 53Ocs and sold 278cs; Walter S.
Bare sold 50cs; Kramer & Goldberg
bought 180cs and Ell. I'll. Schock & Com
pany, of Mount Joy, sold 253cs; in all,
l,7llcs For the corresponding week Of
last year 595cs were sold.
There is still selling of the new crop
gong on, but it is not active. We said
'selling" but we might have added re-
selling. 1t hao been learned that some
men who sold early in the season have
concluded they would sell their crops
done so. 1t is probable all these people
will find themselves with law suits on
their hands, as we heard one very re-
sponsibie buyer say, some of whose pur-
chases have been resold, that he would
bring suit against every one of the de-
linquents. All this is just what we
feared would happen and it may lead to
vexatious litigation.

Connecticut Valley.

Recent wet weather and accompany
ing fogy mornings enabled some of the
growers to take down the portion of the
crop that was left hanging, SO there are
but few crops now left on the poles.
Some of our growers carry on extensive
farming operations, and are not ready to
take hold of stripping tobacco at once.
The weather has been so mild that plow-
ing has been going on up to the middle
of December. Asserting and packing,
however, is the order of the day in nearly
al of our towns, and we only ger he
continuous remark as to its excellent
quality Cultivator.

EVANSVILLE, WIS, Dec. %, '99.


There are fewer buyers in the field
than for several weeks. This is due to
the fact that the farmers are very stiff
IN their asking prices, and in some sec
tions there is but little tobacco unsold.
The approaching holidays have also di-
verted the attention of the buyers. It
is highly probable that after the first of
the year buying will begin again in good
earenst and continue until the crop is
pretty we'll cleaned up, as there are yet
a number of packers who want more to-
bacco, andssit is also probable that several
buyers will enter the field from the east.
Prices are we'll maintained and show no
signs of changing much, either higher or
lower.

we'll in hand and have no trouble in get

The market has given way to more

interfered and prevented extensive trips
into the country.
Agents are now engaged in looking
after the stripping process, and whenan
opportunity offers do not reject offers if
quality and price suit. Rain and damp
weather have afforded another good OPP
portunity for removing from the poles.

Much more impression on the market
than any sensational transaction could
have had was caused by the report given
out yesterday that the deal between
Messrs. Herbs, Wertheim & Schiller and
the American Tobacco Co. was off, 1t is
but recording fact that upon ascertain
ing the truth of that report the market
heaved a sigh of relief. 1t was the
crowning touch to the record of a bril-
liant year.
Business, considering the close of the
year, was good. Nearly all types, both
of domestic and foreign leaf moved'in
fair quantities, some of the larger tran
sactions being mentioned in another
place. The new year will find the mar
ket in quite depleted condition. Jour
