WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET

EDGERToN, WIS, June %, 1900.
The cured leaf market has been almost
completely barren of transactions during
the week. The only matter coming to
notice is the sale of 150cs of 98 made by
G. L. Culton to various parties. A little
work is yet being done about the ware
houses, but midsummer quietude
seems to have settled upon the trade at
the packing points in the state.
The transplanting of the new crop has
been carried on under difficulties during
the Week. The drouth had become such
a serious matter that growers hesitated
about placing the plants in the field
least it meant loss of both time and
plants, for every day witnessed the burn
ing up of those previously transplanted.
Thursday morning good shower came
that will put different phase on the
situation and if more moisture is forth
coming the crop can be transplanted,
The shipments out of storage have
dwindled away to 250cs for the week
past to all points from this station.
Since last report 1300cs of cigar leaf
were exported from New York.

New YORK. June 13. 1900.

Although the pulsations of renewed ac-
tivity have not as yet been generally felt
in domestic leaf circles, there are signs in
smany quarters that the conditions are be-
ginning to improve. Several sales of 1898
goods have been made, and the prices
paid indicate that the deals were not
forced by the sellers, but were the result
of a natural and substantial demand.
Much interest is being manifested in the
1899 New England tobacco, and recently
several lots of natural-sweat goods have
been sold on packers samples at wide
range prices. This tobacco is reported to
be sweating nicely, and some good leaf is
looked for both in Havana Seed and
Broad leaf. There is every indication of
lively market when sample time arrives,
and some fancy prices are predicted for
light wrappers.
SUMATRA.- Conditions are practically
unchanged since our last issue. The
fact that buying at the last two inscrip-
tions was somewhat lighter than usual
and that prices remain high in Amster-
dam tends to put the new goods now be-
ing offered here on better footing The
great yielding capacity of the leaf is
proving to be a strong argument in the
eyes of manufacturers.
HAVANA A ripple of activity was per-
ceptible in this market during the past
week. Several very fair-sized lots have
passed from importers hands, and if a |

New York.
New YORK June 16, 1906


There was quite squirt the past week
in the market, for some very handsome
sales were made in old goods. Between
600 and 700 boxes were taken, and more
could have been sold if the proper goods
could be had. The demand for them is
far greater than the actual supply Some
lively trading took place also in the force
sweated New England leaf. All this looks
like forerunner of the great swoop-
down that the market will experience
later in the season.
The new Sumatra is moving selling as
satisfactorily as could possibly be ex-
pected. The '98 crop at this time year
ago was like dead weight in the hands
of the importers. 1t did not commence
to find favor before August; the 99 crop
however, in spite of what has been and
is being said against it, is selling all along
quite freely. Nearly 300 bales were dis
posed of last week. The quality, how
ever, will undoubtedly play notable
role in later sales, more so, probably,
than it has for years past.
But it is the Havana market which
shows the steadiest activity. Every inn
porting house is busy selling, and if the
quantities are not large, it is the steady
sales that make the aggregate consider
able. Buyers are in need of the Havana
leaf, and though they kick againgt the
firm and high prices, they seem to realize
the fact that hardly lower figures will
prevail in the new crop. AS an importer
who has just returned from Cuba re-
marked: 'sThe price for the new crop is
high all around, for the good, bad and
alike" Sales for the week

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

After a couple of weeks spent among
the growers of number of towns, we
have been very favorably impressed with
the conditions surrounding the tobacco
industry, and must say that the growers
are we'll along with their work. At
North Hadley, on the extensive fields OF
George nj. Crafts, we saw some of his
first setting Traces of frost were readi-
ly noticed; the leaves were dead ut the
central bud was sending out new leaves,
so no injury was sustained. We noticed
that growers allow the plants to attain a
larger size than we used to set years ago.
The setting is largely done with ma
chimes, and it is claimed that they do
better than when set by hand, and also
effect great saving of time, as they do
not require watering. There is evidently
quite an increase in the acreage. Very
many new sheds have been erected, and
others are in progress in the several
towns visited by u.s.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Conway: Setting commenced here the
last week in May. 1t has been very dry.
We had hard frosts May 25 and %, do
ing considerable damage. The beds of
plants are mostly in good condition.
Many will finish by the 9th inst. The
acreage will be increased this year. Six
or eight new barns for curing will be
built this season. There may be few
small lots unsold here" Whately: "Our

The market, while spoken of as very
dull, nevertheless continues to exhibit
signs of more or less activity. Some of
our dealers who, for some reason, did not
invest in last years goods, have since
been making purchases in other locali-
ties, so that good deal of tobacco not of
our home product is held here now.
There has been quite demand for new

regarded as too low, and holders are un-
willing to take less than seven and eight

transactions were 324 cases bought and
157 cases sold, without the name of the
dealer attached. These transactions

whom they were made. In this connec-

The market for buying in the country
is quite, although struggling crops of
Spanish and Dutch are looked for. A
buyer, however, has to drive many miles
to find what he wants to suit for quality
and price. The season so far has not
been favorable for machine planting,
and, on account of the growing weather,
hand planting had to be resorted to on
account of aportion of the plants grow
ing too large. The estimate is that one
fourth of the crop is already planted.
With a few days dry weather machine
planting will be general,
