NEW YORK. June 27. 1900.

The situation in the leaf market is
somewhat less encouraging than it was
a week ago. The stir which was felt at
the beginning of last week simmered
down considerably towards its close, the
arrival of the hot wave having seemingly
been the finishing stroke. This week
the market is very quite. Some. of the
dealers, however, take an optimistic
view of the situation and are inclined to
believe that as soon as the labor diff
culties throughout the country can be
settled aud competition among the vari
Gus factories becomes more keen,
larger output will essentially follow, and
the leaf trade will begin to revive. July
and August are recognized as poor cigar
months, however, and the leaf trade can
hardly be justified in expecting . sub
stantial boom before September.
HAvANA-This branch of the leaf mar
ket has also taken a slump. Goods are
moving in small lots only, and but few
sales are reported.
SUMATRA.-Some houses report good
weeks business, while others complain
about the scarcity of orders, Out-of
town sales are not up to the expectations
Of importers.-Leaf.

EVANSVILLE, WIS, June 80, 1900.

The close of this week will see a large
part of the new crop in the field. The
farmers have been working early and
late to get their plants into the ground
and the amount of work accom- piished
along this line is amazing. The plants
have done we'll so far, but are in need of
rain again. The earlier fields are look
ing fairly we'll and are making a steady
growth.
In old goods the market is most de
cidedly dull and many of the dealers are
out of town. S. B. Heddles sold Is cases
to an eastern man.

York firm of Lewis Sylvester & Son, ac-

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

We do not hear of any sales of late. In
fact, those holding for the sweat don't
expect to sell at present. Every energy
has been put forth to get the new crop
started, SO thoughts of selling find little
place in the farmers minds. 1t would
not be surprising if an effort should be
made to gather in the scattered crops,
particularly those that show a good per-
centage of light colors, by the last 0s.
July OR early part OF August.
We give reports from our correspon-
dents Feeding Hills, June 20: "The
farmers have nearly all finished setting
tobacco. In many places the crop is
looking fine. Cutworms are troublesome
in some localities. Portions of some
fields have to be reset. One man had
field troubled with wire worms; several
found in a hill. The Taylor Bros have
one piece set early (the last of May, and

Two crops of old in town" Suffield, Ct,
June 49, There is an increase in the
acreage this season. We are fully two
weeks later than last year But little set
before the first of June. The weather
for the last ten days has been fine for the
young plants, and they are standing fine
and growing we'll. There are good
many acres to be set yet" Whately,
June 21: ''The tobacco is all set out and
is looking nice. Worms SO far have
made but little trouble. The earliest
plants stand from six to eight inches
high" South Deerfeld, June 81 The
crop is all set out and standing very even.
The only drawback now is dry weather
and cool nights. Acreage increased
about five per cent. Every one seems to
be doing the best they can to get fine
crop. No demand for the '99 or older
goods. About one week later than last
year. Hay crop light. Dry, dry"
North Hadley, June 20; ~'rhe crop of to-
bacco is all set, and is looking fine.
There is slight increase in acreage"
North Hatfield, June %: Tobacco is
putting on a rapid growth. Most of it
has been hoed once, and on many fields
the growers are giving it the second
brushing over. The stand is good, and
there is an increase in acreage" Wind
sor, Ct.: "The farmers finished setting
about week later than usual. AS rule
it is looking WE'LL There is an increase
in the acreage this year over the last
year." AS near as we can judge the in
crease in acreage will be not far from five
per cent.-ED. -Cultivator.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1900-07-06
MIAMIsBURG, ONO, June q, 1900.

There is always hunt for tobacco by
local buyers as well as an occasional
buyer from distance until the stock in
farmers hands is exhausted. A late es-
innate in print says that there are re-
naming in the farmers hands five thou
sand cases. This is probably too high
an estimate.
Planting the present crop has been
done rapidly the past week, many plant
ers having finished setting. Cut worms
are reported numerous. This requires
replanting, and, if done after the first
week in July, produces green tobacco to
be thrown out by packers.

Sun PRAIRIE. Wis. June 90. 1900.

This week will see all but very small
portion of the tobacco crop transplanted
Farmers have been very busy in their
fields since the rain of week ago. In
the early set plants much re-setting has
had to be done, the constant dry weather
killing many of the hardy ones Many
have already started working their fields
and the prospects are now good for a
rapid growth with few worms bothering
There is an increase of between 10 and
Is per cent. in the acreage this year over
that of last. Rain is again greatly needed
to push the early and start the late set
plants.
The Ell. Miller warehouse closed its
seasons work yesterday. The packers
have been working since the Sth of Jan

old tobacco from his Marshall storage
house Monday to eastern points.-Sun.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, July 6, 1900

Absolutely no transactions in cured
leaf worthy of mention in a market re-
port has come to the surface during the
past week. Business everywhere has a
holiday quietude.
Splendid rains have fallen since last
report, giving the growing crop a mar
velous growth. The early fields are
looking as forward as other years of this
date.
Shipments out of storage reach total
of 425cs to all points for the week past.
Since last report 9S5cs of cigar leaf were
exported from New York.

New YORK June 80, 1900.

New YORK June 30, 1900.
The market passed again dull week
Nothing but routine business was be
ing done, just to keep the small jobbing
houses going. AS for any large transac
tions the stock is not to be had. But there
is very busy time ahead to judge from
the constantly increasing figures of the
cigar industry, as the cigar, of all the
manufactures of tobacco, is the only in
creasing product. That shows that the
good times are still generally enjoyed
and that the cigar is essentially the
standard of prosperity. AS soon as the
cigar consumption decreases it is sure
sign that the income of the masses is be-
ing curtailed, and just as sure does then
the manufacture of cigarettes and manu-
featured tobacco increase And as soon
as the cigar production increases the
output of the other branches of the
trade are liable to suffer. And by the
time the new crops will become market
able the cigar factories will then be
ready for rush of raw material.
The new Sumatra in the meanwhile is
moving satisfactorily. No large sales,
but steady sales of small lots

LANCASTER New ERA. June 26. 1900.
The local trade follows the course of
that elsewhere and gives no signs of be-
coming more active. Some small lots
were sold, it is true, but no entire pack
ings Neither is such thing looked for
at the present time. Just now every
body is anxious to learn exactly how his
last years purchases have been faring in
the cases. Pretty nearly everybody is
busy at the work of examination, and.
the truth is, they all find something to
do-some more than the rest, but all
something. A good many things are
heard in visiting the warehouses that
would not look we'll in print, so we
shall omit them. The sales reported to
us are 81 cases bought and 112 cases sold
by M. M. Fry; Is cases sold by Walter
S. Bare, and 80 cases bought by l. Stirk
& c.; in all, 289 cases.
The new crop appears to be doing very
well. In the great majority of fields the
plants are still very small, but the sea-
son has SO far been very favorable, and
they have done well. Rains are needed
to bring them along rapidly.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

Soaking rains, the like of which has
not been seen since early spring, fell
on Monday, which means every
thing almost to the tobacco crop. The
plants in newly set fields had just be-
come fairly we'll rooted, but the drouth
was beginning to tell upon them when
the rains came. The growth which will
follow such copious rain fall will be re-
markable one. No crop is given to
making phenomenal growth like tobacco.
No crop which the farmer plants will
mature in 60 days from transplanting
but tobacco. Its quick, rapid develop
ment is factor too, in producing de-
sirable binder leaf. Remarkable too, as
it may seem, there is no crop that will
hold up better under prolonged drouths
or show quicker recuperation. The out
look for the new tobacco crop at the
present writing is exceptionally good.
The stand in the fields is good while the
first week in July seldom finds the crop
further advanced or so few fields unset.
Practically the crop is out and more
encouraging prospect could hardly be
wished The next few weeks will show
some astonishing advances and before
we are hardly aware of it the harvest
will be on.

The internal revenue returns for the
month of May show an increase of
twenty four million in the output of ci-
gars over the same month year ago,
This too, in the face of one of the larg
est strikes ever known in the manufac-
taring trade involving several of the
most important cigar concerns in the
country. In both cigarettes and manu-
factured tobacco the returns indicate a
decrease of output.

Little doing except among growers.
They are setting and re-setting and
watching for rain. Many whole fields of
plants have died and have had to be set
in, and unless the hoped for rain comes
soon in abundant showers it will be a
small crop to harvest Gazette.

A correspondent writing of the Paris
exhibition says; "Our tobacco exhibit
is by far the finest at the fair. But to
indicate how we are outdone in diploma
cy or what may be called exhibition pol
itics let me instance the following, all of
which may be traced [ think, to the
negligence of our Commissioner. We
have but one man in fifteen on the to-
bacco jury and he is Cuban who has
lived for many years in Paris and boasts
that he never sold or used leaf of
American tobacco. He is in short the
representative of the largest Cuban to-
bacco manufacturer and from habit and
interest inimical to American tobacco.
Yet he had himself appointed as the
only American jurist, and this when our
exhibit is finer than any and probably
as large as that of all other countries
put together. There are many many in
stances of this kind showing lack of
push and enterprise on the part Of our
representatives and an indifference to
the interests of our people and country
that is inexplicable in any way compli.
mentary to them.
A study of the importations of cigar
leaf tobacco, just before large and fine
domestic crop is to be placed on the
market and another harvested, is of es-
pecial interest to growers says the n. Il.
Homestead. That the market is bare of
leaf we may readily surmi Sc from the
statements prepared by the statistician
of the treasury department..
Imports of wrappers the past years
have been 5,8O9, ,499 lbs. less than during
the previous 3 years. This amount
would wrap about 1904, $4,000 cigars.
Of Havana or Cuban leaf, 81, ,927 ,287 lbs.
less were imported than during the pre-
vious 3 years.
The output of cigars for the fiscal
year 1S95-6-7, which does not include inn
ports of cigars, was 16,578, ,651 67O. while
for 1889 and 10 mos of 1900 the output
was 14,378, ,230,966. The decreased i'm
ports of wrapper leaf for the past 3
years as compared with the previous 3
years, just about equal the quantity re-
quired to wrap the decreased output, as
shown by the figures of the past 3 years
as compared with the previous B years.
In filler and binder leaf the importation of
less than 100000 lbs the past years
as compared with 81 ,303, 900 the previous
3 years shows the condition of that
grade of leaf While fair crop is re-
ported from Cuba this year, with keep
ing up in the cigar output, as is antici-
pated because of the presidential elec
ton, that which is suitable for this
country can all be used and the '99 do
mestic crop as well. When the latter
goes on the market, indications are that
it will move rapidly and at prices that
will leave packers a good margin of
profit.

Dealers or manufacturers who were
pot engaged in such business during the
preceding fiscal year must procure spec
ial tax stamps before commencing bust
ness. The special tax stamp purchased
at the commencement of business may
be of such grade as, in the opinion of the
dealer or manufacturer, may be required
to cover his business for the fiscal year,
but when the limit of sales allowed un-
der such stamp is reached, the dealer Or
manufacturer must procure stamp of a
aigher grade, so that his liability to
special tax on the basis of sales as pro-
%ided by law will at all times be covered,
