Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

While the crop is largely sold or con-
tracted for, we cannot expect to hear of
a great many recent sales. The crop is
of full average weight, if not slight in
crease over the previous year. So far as
we have reports, they run all the way
from 1900 to 1000 pounds per acre. This
is a good yield when the great bulk of
the leaf is of the Havana variety.
The seed leaf is mostly grown in three
or four towns in Connecticut, viz. East
Hartford, South Windsor, Windsor and
Glastonbury. Only 500 cases have been
sold. 1t will probably average ton or,
more to the acre. So far as we learn it;
is held at from 20 to % cents, and some,
has been sold as high as "a cents. Some
scattering lots have been sold as low as,
15 cents. Much depends on the color
and tineness. To grow seed leaf one
must have the right kind of soil to get
the best. Many growers decline to sell
at the reduced prices offered and wills
have it assorted by local packers, who,,
in many cases, have the sale on commits
sion.
The buying of fertilizers continues
throughout the valley The Connect,
cut Havana crop Of 1899 is largely out of
the market. What there is is mostly
held by the packers and jobbers, but it
is difficult to find of desirable colors.
The new force sweated 1900 crop will
soon be on sale, as numerous packers
have provided sweating rooms, AT Hat
field there are some five or six sweating
rooms, and SO they are scattered all
through the valley. We can, therefore,
calculate that large portion of the crop
will be sold before the natural sweat can
be ready. Consequently prices will.
naturally rule high next fall for good.

New YORK Dec. 10. 1900


The domestic leaf market continues
quiet, but the lull is natural one, and
conditions are quite as good as might be
expected just at this time. In fact,
many houses are rather surprised at the
amount of business they are able to
transact on the eve of the holidays.
Everyone is looking forward to coming
year of prosperity, and packers are pay
ing more attention to their warehouses
and sorting tables than to their sales
rooms.
Havana week means inven-
tory time, and yet this market continues
active. Although sales are not generally
of large proportions, the demand is con-
stant and strong, and in the aggregate
good deal of tobacco has been sold.
Among reported sales we're: $50 bales
1900 Remedies, 1st capaduras, roc; $50
bales 1900 Remedies, 1st and I'd capaduras

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERTON WTS Dec. % 1900

The holiday week like that of other
years brings but little tobacco news. In
the buying line nothing of Importance
has developed. None of the dealers are
making much effort to increase their
holdings and the few scattering sales
that are made are generally below the
range of former quotations. A few lots
of hail cut and damaged crops are being
lifted at around 5 cents.
Deliveries of early purchases continue
to come in about as fast as the ware
houses in operation can care for them,
and the practice of holding back part
payment on crops until passed over the
sorting table is quite generally enforced
Business in old leaf is rather quiet
both in home and eastern markets and
no large transactions have come to no
tice. N. E. Nelson sold 100cs packing
of '99 to the Bamberger firm. W. T.
Pomeroy & Co. sold three car loads, $50
cases, to export
The warehouses not already in opera
tion are making arrangements to COM
mence handling the new crop soon after
the new year comes in.
The shipments out of storage reach II
car loads, 575cs, from this station to all
points for the week past. Since last re-
port nearly 900cs of cigar leaf were ex-
ported from New York.

Lancaster.
LANCASTER New ERA, Dec. Is, 1900.

Our home market has undergone no
change during the past week, but if any
thing has grown duller and more quite
than it was for some time past. The
packers declare there is nothing doing
save few cases now and then to a ne
cessitous manufacturer, who would not
buy if he could help it. So far as we
have been able to learn there were no
sales of any amount and little else is ex-
pected till the opening of the new year.
After the foregoing was in print we
have learned of the purchase' of 80
cases by j. M, Breneman of Millersville.
Concerning the new crop, we may say
there is not much more doing in it than
in cased goods. Even the country pack
ers appear to have retired from the field
for the time being and only now and
then an occasional crop changes owners
The country manufacturers have been
buying little for their own use. Some
city dealers who have been out looking
at the goods do not seem to be much
prepcssessed with the crop and have not
invested. What they will do later on re-
mains to be seen.

MIAMIsBURG, OHIO, Dec. 10, 1900.

Buying in the country is limited. No
change in prices for the 1899 No sales
reported for the 1900 The weather has
not been damp enough to remove tobac-
CO from the poles lately. Stripping and
asserting still in progress of that which
was taken down some weeks ago. Ex-
amining the 1900 in sheds by agents has
been noted. Enquiries by planters as to
when buying will commence of the new
crop are numerous. House burn and
rust are in sight. Careful asserting will
be necessary to command top prices.
From indications at hand, it would seem
that the large houses are in no hurry to
commence buying the new.

NEW YORK, Dec. %, 1900.

Business in the market has come to a
standstill on account of the nearness of
the holidays and the close of the year.
Most of the houses down town are busy
stock-taking and such orders as are com
ing are booked for the new year.
The most remarkable event, however,
the past week, was the enormous impor-
tation of Havana leaf. Over 1900 bales
came in during the single week. This
goes to show that our Havana stock
needed replenishing, and if the brilliant
prospect holds out, the 1900 bales will
only be a drop in the water. For no
branch of the leaf trade was so busy and
rushed with orders during this week as
the Havana trade.-Journal.

The trouble experienced in delivering
the present crop might serve as warn
ing against the unbusinesslike practice of
buying tobacco in the fields or before it
has cured Rarely does trading under
such conditions prove satisfactory to
both the buyer and the seller. The
grower contracts to sell sound and mer-
chantable tobacco without knowing
whether his crop will fill these require
ments or not. After a crop is sold the
temptation is great to strip into the bun
dies tobacco that will not pass muster
under the usual requirements of mer-
charitable leaf. If the tobacco was un
sold and close inspection expected
hessore sale, the chances are that he
would use greater care ia stripping and
much of the stuff that now causes trou
BILE at delivery would not be found in
the bundles. The buyers, too, begin to
realize that they take long chances in
agreeing to pay good strong prices for
tobacco that they can scarcely tell what
it's character will be when it is delivered
to them at the warehouses. The lessons
of this season, We imagine, will be a
wholesome one to all concerned and if it
results ia less rushing to the green fields
of buyers when another crop is grown so
much the better

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Dec. q, 1900.

There is but little riding being done in
this section and but few purchases made
at from to cents
The buyers are devoting themselves to
receiving previous purchases. There is
quite little difference in opinion as to
the extent of the damage in some of the
crops delivered in our market Some of
the crops are all right, but in a majority
of cases part of the money is held back
until the crop shall have been put over
the tables,
In old goods sales are confined mostly
to small lots. J. A. Ryan sold 40 cases.
Deliveries have been liberal this week.

to the importers OF, tobacco has been
handed down by the u. S. Supreme
Court in the Rothschild case. This
court contrues the tariff law to mean
that every pound of wrapper leaf must
pay wrapper duty and it is not the bale,
but the tobacco in the bale, is the unit
for classification. We understand it has
been customary for the appraisers to
pass tobacco containing not over Is per
cent. of wrappers at the filler rate. The
decision is. considered hard blow to the

Milton Whitney, chief of division of
soils, reports successful termination of
experiments conducted in cooperation
with the Connecticut experiment station
in the production of Sumatra tobacco
near Hartford. One-t third of an acre
was planted under cheese cloth shade
nine feet high and cultivated and fer
mented under the direction of M. L.
Floyd, tobacco expert of the department.
The yield of cured tobacco was 700
pounds, making an estimated yield for
one acre of 2,100 pounds. This lost
about 10 per cent. in fermentation. The
crop has Just been sold by L. B. Haas &
Co. of Hartford to Michaelson & Hibbard
of Kansas City for S473.7O, making an
estimated value for one acre of 81 ,421.
The cost of production, including the
whole cost of the shade-the frame for
which will last five years-will not ex-
ceed $500 an acre, leaving net profit of
over $500 an acre. This was an everage
price of II cents a pound. The crop
grown in the same field without shade
and fermented in the same way, yielded
about the same quantity and brought
27 cents pound or at the rate of S507.87
an acre. Deducting the cost of cult
walton, fertilization and treating this
would leave a'proft of about $500 an
acre. The ordinary crop of the Con-
necticut valley brings the farmer about
20 cents pound, or $3.50 an acre, and,
deducting the cast of expenses, leaves
profit of about $3.50 an acre. The Su-
matra tobacco grown under shade has
been submitted to New York and Phila-
delphia business men and has been pro-
nounced entirely satisfactory and fully
equal to imported Sumatra.
