WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

GID1hN1ON, w 49, 41dICu -, lOOO.
In this market matters are moving
along in their regular course and the
dealers as rule are making but little
effort toward increasing their purchases;
a few though have spent a portion of the
week in growing sections and have been
able to pick up crop now and then
From the reports in surrounding mar
kets very little is to be CLEANED and
everything points to very quiet week.
The number of. sales reaching us is
small, and they are as follows:
Fred Hitler, IA at Sale.
Andrew johnson. 8a at 615&1c.
Bickle & Kump, ga at 51a&1c.
A. O. Vincent, IA at 411a&2c.
The shipments out of storage from this
station reach "a carloads, 1200cs, for the
week to all points. The receips are q
cars. About 23Ocs Of cigar leaf were ex
ported from New York.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY,

No sales to report for this week. Our
correspondents simply give some further
instances of the backing out from bar
gains, unless the growers would accent
of reductions from the agreed price of
to DC pound. To look these BUYERS
over when they bargained for the goods.
one would suppose they owned the whole
OF Wall street. But now just listen to
their choice language One wouldn't
think there was any prospects of their
ever becoming saints.
Preparation for the coming crop IS
everywhere in order. Purchasing of the
stable manure, cotton seed meal, Canada
ashes and other fertilizers is the order
of the day. The price of nearly all of
the commercial fertilizers is much higher
than in former years. But the neces-
sary ingredients have to be gotten to-
gether so as to be in readiness for use
when spring opens, and at this time they
can be hauled to the farm easier than to
have to do it when work is driving.
The Buffalo dealers, Kesser & Co., are
having their tobacco purchases assorted
and packed at Suffield, CT. They have
about SO men at work for them. They
have bought not far from $50 cases.
Some of the large dealers are delaying
taking their purchases, thus making the
growers some trouble. Quite a number
have resold their crops. Some at
handsome advance from the first SALE
Cultivator.

constitute an active market. Most of the
business is being actually done now by
the jobbing houses that, with prudent
foresight, provided themselves with
sufficiently large stock to last them till
the new cropt become marketable. Very
soon scarcity in binder leaf will make
itself felt. Sales for the week about 500
boxes.
In Sumatra business has dropped off
somewhat for the same reason. The
heavy Withdrawals from bond are evi-
dence that the manufacturers are fast
consuming their earlier purchases. Evi-
IDENTIFY they are cleaning out their old
stock in order to be ready for the new
crop.
Only the Havana market retains it's ac-
tivity. There is no let up in the demand
for fine Remedies and suitable factory
vegas. But the clean first capaduras
are pretty nearly cleared off the market,
and some very Indifferent leaf has to
take it's place. But everything known to
be Cuban leaf goes. Factory vegas are
still held at a high premium. Sales for
the week about 1000 bales. Journal.

New York.
New YORK Feb. q. 1900.

| The uncertain, spasmodic condition of
| business is still prevalent in the domes-
| tic leaf tobacco market, and the intervals
of dullness between the spasms of activ-
| ity have heightened somewhat since last
| week. Here and there a good sale is
made, but in the aggregate only a mod
erate-sized business has been done. The
stocks of the best grades of wrappers.
binders and BIS have been extensively
reduced during the past three months.
| and those who now hold this class of leaf
demand good price for it. Mental cal.
culation on the wrapper question is quite
general just now, and some have taken
pessimistic view of the future suffici-
ence of domestic wrapper leaf The per-
centage of wrapper furnished by the '98
crop was comparatively small, and. de-
spite the predictions of growers to the
contrary, it is generally believed that the
percentage produced by 80 crop will be
even less.
Considerable force sweating is being
done this year, and in response to an ex-
ceptionally strong demand for all kinds
of tobacco, no time will be lost in offer
ing the new goods as soon as conditions
will permit. The indications are that by
September next-the month when ex-
tensive buying of the new crop usually
begins-much of the light wrapper goods
will have already passed from first hands
and many of the best lots will have gone
into consumption. AS there seems to be
plenty of dark and medium colored leaf
this year, the stogie and cheroot trade
will be in danger of dearth of goods,
but it is safe to predict that wrappers
suitable for the cigar trade will bring
top-notch figures before the year is out.
Sumatra-At this time one year ago.
trading in this market had come to
standstill. Manufacturers were waiting
indiffertenly to see what the new crop
would bring forth, and business was al |
most suspended until after the inscrip- |
tions had begun. The conditions are |
quite different this year. Dealers and |
importers are all fairly busy, and con-
sidering the limited selections offered, |
business can be called brisk. The near |
of the first inscription is not
having its usual depressing effect, and it
is quite likely that there will be steady
buying in the local market right up to
the time of the arrival of the new goods
Havana-There is no et-up in the in
quiry for Havana, and buying is going on
as actively as top-notch prices and re-
duced stocks will permit. The excep-
tionally large Withdrawals for consumD-

18th, this year, there were $500 bales re-
moved from bond, while during the same

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Feb. %, 1900.

The local market is most decidedly
dull this week and but very little is be-
ing done in the way of buying, only now
and then purchase being made. The
crops unsold in the hands of the farmers
are so few that great deal of riding has
to be done to get any tobacco. Prices
range from to 7c with an average of 6
cents.
In old goods goodly number of mail
order sales have been made, but few lots
of any size are sold, owing to limited
stocks held by local packers, except by
few firms.
Work around the warehouses is boom
ing and the asserting rooms are busy
hives of industry.
Deliveries by the farmers have been
liberal this week, keeping the stocks in
the warehouses full to overflowing.-.
