given chance to do so. The few types
mense yielding capacity; they disprove
every assertion of the early reports on
the looks, quality and texture of the leaf.
OF course, the types on hand may be an
exception, but if they are they are a
mighty desirable exception, and to Judge
from the result of the second inscription,
there must be many more of those de-
Sirabie exceptions. In the meanwhile
the Sumatra market here has become
somewhat nonplussed by these success
sive surprise. Prospective buyers are
waiting to see something more of the new
crop and are waiting more anxiously still
for lower prices, but as to the latter, they
will:undoubtedly be sorely disappointed.
The falling off in the activity of our
Sumatra market is accounted for by the
larger consumption of domestic leaf for
wrapper purposes. Not only has the
force-sweating of the New England leaf
stimulated larger consumption of do
nestle wrappers among the great num-
Der of smaller manufacturers, but the
improvement made in the raising of the
Florida leaf has also increased it's larger
usefulness. And these two types are
selling regularly because of their being
supplied to very large number of con-
sumers, though they are not going off in
bulk or in large quantities. All other
grades of domestic leaf are moving very

EVANSVILLE, WIS, April IA, 49,.

Business in 98 tobacco is narrowed
down to now and then sale from first
hands at prices about the same as have
prevailed for some months. In some
parts of Dane county there are num-
ber of crops unsold but these are rapidly
changing hands. During the past few
weeks the larger eastern houses have
been looking over the small packings
about the state and several have changed
hands.
j. A. Ryan sold 8OOcs '98 at p. t. Con
way Bros sold 25cs '98 at 7c, and 20cs 97
at &c. NJ. J. Hayes sold 7cs '97 at &c.
There is a healthy demand for old
goods and several good sized lots have
changed hands.
Saml Grundy sold 2OOcs of '97 thinner
Spanish to Rudolph & Co., and Geo
Decker sold 63cs '97 filters to Rudolph &
Co., and 5Ocs of '99 low grades to S. L.
Johns, of McSherrytown, Pa.-Farm and
Home.

Lancaster,
LANCASTER New ERA, April IL, '99.

There was moderate inquiry for old
goods during the week, but the volume
of transactions was not up to the eXpec-
tation of the packers; we have seldom
seen time when it was. 1t is only when
one looks over the transactions of whole
season that the large quantity of goods
that change hands here in year is seen.
The sales that have been brought to our
notice were Is sold by Abraham Croft,
$50 sold by Rodcliff, 100 sold by Isaac
Stirk and 276 sold by CRUDE & High, or
total of 661cs. For the corresponding
week of last year $50 cases were sold.
There is still some buying of the new
crop, but the sales are limited to the
small quantities still on hand, mostly of
the Havana seed variety. We under
stand that considerable losses were sus-
tanned by some farmers from damaged
tobacco, which was, of course, rejected.
All attention is once more directed to the
coming crop, which will be largely seed
leaf, as that variety has again demon
strated itself to be surer money crop.
than Havana seed. We had hoped that
new varieties would be tried on an ex-
| tensive scale but we have not heard that
| this has been done. We will no doubt
! have the old sorts with the old results.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-04-21
Connecticut Valley.

It is very evident that great deal of
damage loss occurred in the last crop on
account of the amount of pole burn. At
first not man would admit that he had
suffered any loss. But the packers claim
loss of at least 10 per cent. or more.
And it is in evidence in every direction
that an immense loss resulted from this
cause. Again, it often ended in pole rot.
Of course, some lots suffered worse than
others. Many new tobacco barns are go
ing up, as we'll as additions to old ones.
Growers desire to keep up the area
planted, and so provide more room, thus
hoping to escape the crowding and the
pole sweat, too. That is usually depen-
dent upon the weather we have in curing
time. From every section of the valley
news of building comes in to us.
Our correspondents write as follows:

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, April 81, 1899.


There is not much news to record in
the tobacco markets these days. A little
done in the new crop and an occasional
transaction of old goods from first hands,
though altogether the aggregate does
not amount to very large amount. But
the picking away is steadily reducing
the balance unsold in growers hands.
The following transactions coming to
notice are:
c.. L. Jordelan 1Oa at S&3c asst.
G.. w. Howarth ga at 7&3c asst.
G. E. Newman 47cs at &c asst.
Ed. Holmes IA at 6&115c bl.
Lucius Wood ga at 61ac.
Ole Iverson 3a at 524&2c.
M. Crowley IA at 5A&2c.
E. G. Hood 5a at 414&1c.
Some packings of the new goods have
recently been picked up by dealers anx-
ious to increase their holdings. The
Ryan packing of GAINESVILLE, of some 500
cases, and 375cs put up by R. W. Davis
at SunPrairie have been sold to Culton
There is still a good deal of skirmishing
after old goods and some sales of i'm
portance are reported though the partlc-
ulars have not reached us. Geo. Rum
rill sold 12Ocs of '96 and 300cs 9S filters
during the week.
The warehouses are still handling
bundle goods though the end for some
of the packers is now in sight. But few
plant beds have been sown to date
though the weather of the week is spring
like.
The shipments out of storage reach
750c for the week from this station to al
| points. A 1000 cases '96 owned by
| Kerbs, Wertheim & Schiller is being
| prepared for shipment from Stoughton

New YORK April ID, '99.

The result of the second inscription on
Tuesday was as big surprise to the
market as the result of the first, only in
an opposite direction. The surprise OF
the first inscription was the small guam
tity obtained for the American market,
and in consequence the market settled
down to the belief that the new Sumatra
crop did not come up to our requirements.
This logically formed conviction was
somewhat rudely shaken by surprise No.
on last Tuesday, when the cable flashed
over reports of heavy purchases by the
Americans. Surely the buying of 26OO
bales at one sale does not look like con-
demnation of the new crop The early
judgement on the new crop will, there
fore, have to be radically revised, and it
has commenced undergoing revision
since the arrival of the tobacco from the
first inscription, which was quite eagerly
inspected by every one who has been
