EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Nov. %. 1900.

The damp weather of this week put
the hanging tobacco into case again and
several of our buyers have been riding,
but as yet, only small amount of pur-
chases have been made.
One of the obstacles to the buying OF
any considerable amount of tobacco is
the asking price at which many of the
farmers are holding their tobacco.
The farmers realize that they have
some good tobacco and they want all
they can get for it, This is only natural.
There are few buyers who are becom-
ing interested in the hail cut and dam
aged portions of the new crop, believing
it will make some good export grades
The good casing weather Of the present
week gives the farmers an opportunity
to take down their tobacco and many of
did SO. In old goods there has been a
fine amount Of business done. G. Ell.
Rumrill reports the sale of 119cs of '99
and L. B. Carle & Son have sold a fair
sized lot to FL. Fendrich of Evansville,

LANCASTER New ERA Nov 20, 1900.
The home market has not been very
brisk during the past week. There was
some trading, but it did not come up to
the expectations of dealers. AS our last
years crop is pronounced a good one and
is moving off rapidly in the big markets
of the country, it is expected that what
is left Of the crop in the local warehouses
will also find it way into the hands of
the manufacturers in due time.
Although the new crop is attracting
some attention, not nearly SO much has
been sold as few uniformed CORE
spondents of out-of-town papers have
told One of these correspondents cred
it's single firm with having purchased
1000 cases. No firm has so far bought
half that quantity The fact is that
while there are number of buyers rid
ing through the country, their purchases
have so far been limited in amount. ALL
objects to the price of the goods, and
some have declared to us they will pack
none at all, but depend upon buying the
packings of other men.
A good many farmers are opposed to-
selling their crops on the poles, and are
refusing to do so from day to day. They
understand that they are placed at dis
advantage by such selling when delivery
day comes along, and they want to be in
a position to hel lp themselves if there is
to be any kicking; and who can blame
them. Their past experiences have not
be- n without their proper effect.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market,


There is but slight effort made by
the dealers and packers to gather up the
remnants of the 1900 crop. So far it
seems an effort to control such crops as
they can induce the average cast of their
purchases. There is no real reason for
the growers to sell at reduced price. In
fact, there are many reasons why the
holders of good crops should insist upon
increased price for their goods. The
fact that these packers have paid from
20 to Csc for other good lots is one rea-
son that ought to be apparent to all.
And then the fact that the packers have
bought fully two thirds If the crop and
hold it is an insurance that the price
will not be allowed to 60 any lower with
them. Again, every sprig will be wanted.
We will not give other reasons, for the
want OF space. The outlook for this
crop, as well as for the coming year. Was
never be ter than now.
Asserting, packing and force sweating
is now the order of the day. Sutter
Brothers have two large warehouses in
Connecticut in full operatian, and many
others are working with large gangs OF
men, apparently in haste to supply the
market with force-sweated tobacco.

Everywhere there is buying of the new
crop In Wisconsin, Ohio and all the
growing districts the crop is being pick
ed up early, although prices are nowhere
as high as those paid right here. In
Wisconsin from 2 to Sc is the range,
Meridian buyers are picking up great
many lots in that vicinity and near

tiles cases are higher in price than form

of town parties are looking for ware
house accommodations and some new
firms are in the fields. Charles S. Mills
is buying for Arendt & Co. of New York

The Sumatra market keeps it's own
right along. More than ever it is being
recognized as the absolutely indispensa-
BILE wrapper leaf for our cigar industry.
1t is, therefore. selling freely and smooth

The Havana market remains in active
condition, as far as the types for the
clear Havana cigars are concerned.
Everything in that line finds buyers even
at high figures. AS for the Remedies,
the low price at which the trashy stuff
is offered is spelling somewhat the trade
in the clean and carefully selected goods,
which naturally must command much
higher price.-Journal.

The domestic branch of the market has
been quite satisfactory during the past
week. Although some houses report that
they could do more business without
creating any confusion among the Office
forces, still, enough is being done to make
feeling of prosperity prevalent. Penn

the new Wisconsin seem to attract the
most attention just now, while what is
left of the 1899 Connecticut and State
tobacco is somewhat in the shadow.
A feature of this weeks trading was
the sale of two crops of force -sweated
1900 Connecticut, one of them being of
the spotted order. This tobacco came
out. of the sweat in splendid shape, and
each of the crops showed an unusually
large percentage of fine light wrappers.

Although no large sales are reported,
there is steady demand for goods and

ties of Havana that are coming To this
port for the European market, some
large invoices have been arriving for the

taken hold of eagerly, and warehouse

the banner transaction of the week was

What the inventor desires is to inter-

that they would be willing to give his
method trial in the 1900 packing, and
to submit it to test under all conditions
of leaf and in different class of ware
houses at several packing points. After
it has been given satisfactory test and
has proven what the inventor hopefully
expect, they will then submit terms to
