Havana a-Even at the high prices pre-
vailing, there is nothing easier to sell
than Havana tobacco, if it has any merit
at all. Every importing house is besieged
with orders, and brokers find it difficult
to obtain samples for their outof-town
customers. Importers have only two
things to complain of-scarcity Of stock
and the delay at the Appraisers stores.

Buyers are generally busy receiving
now and very little buying seems to
be done. From so to 100 loads were re-
ceived here the first of the week, the wet
weather Of the last few days, however,
serving to decrease the amount coming
in. Reports from various sections seems
to indicate that about so per cent of the
crop has been bought. Three ware
houses were opened Monday and we
give below list of those that are now in
operation together with the number of
hands employed in each:

New YORK, Jan. 20, 1900.

The distinctive feature of the market
the past week was the steady demand
for Havana. The sales aggregated be-
tween three and four thousand bales. of
which but one amounted in bulk TO
thousand bales, the balance being made
up of smaller lots. The single transac-
ton of a thousand bales consisted of
second capaduras, and they sold at about
65c in bond. If, then, such price is
being paid for thousand bale lot of
second capaduras, it must not surprise
the buyer of first capaduras in small lots
that he is asked for them from dollar
upwards in bond. And it does not seem
to surprise him either, to Judge from the
avidity with which he is securing the
Havana leaf at such enormous tlgIres.
In fact, the price does not seem to stand
in the way at all he seems to- be GLAD
only that he can get again a sufficient
supply for his needs. And that dis
| poses of the aspersion that the clgar
manufacturer does willfully deteriorate
| his cigars with substitutes for Havana
| leaf in order to make bigger profit If
| he was compelled to do it for the past
| two or three years, he could not help
| himself because he could not get
sufficient supply of the Havana leaf fox
love or money. Now, however, that the
market is more perfectly supplied with it,
the price does not deter him from using
it, An honest seed and Havana cigas
will again grace the market in spite of
the greatly advanced expense in putting
it out. But the Vuelta market was
possibly still more animated, and for the
Havana wrapper bales, averaging about
sixty pounds from six TO eight hundred
dollars is being paid. And the sales are
only limited, not by the price, but by She,
supply.
The domestic leaf market is keeping
up it's strong activity Every type of
leaf is being bought up in lots of fifty
cases and upwards. But the market
price is not advanced, although the new
crops unassorted cost the packer more
than the seasoned old crops are just now
selling for If the manufacturers do not
supply themselves now with a years
supply they will have to meet a consid-
cradle advance later on.

Connecticut Valley.

Trade is SO far quiet, or if any takes
place it isn't considered of any particular
Importance as bearing upon the tobacco
market, since most of the crops have
passed into the hands of the packers.
One thing seems to be settled, that high
er prices have prevailed for the last six
weeks or more. 1t is probable that very
soon sales of the '99 crop which have
been force sweated will be heard from.
Options have been secured on thousands
of cases, and our people are anxious to
learn the price that will prevail. In
some sections of Connecticut the packers
are trying to force the growers to consent
to cut down from the agreed price, be-
cause, as they allege the leaf cured
comes from buying in the field before
what thesshade of color would be when
tilizers used afford a basis for expec-
foretell the weather. For it is generally
understood that frequent dampening
and drying off has an effect upon the
shade of color.
Now a word to the grower. We hope
when the next year there appears
would be buyer riding as grandly as
though a governor of the state, and bar
gains for your tobacco, you will dare to
insist upon the advancing of 500 or $500
to bind the bargain, or as forfeit. This
we have many times insisted upon as the
proper business way for our growers to
pursue. How extensive the kicking is
done not yet appears. But even some
advanced some money are asking for the
abatement Of few cents per nound.-

JANEsvILLE, WIS, Jan. 10, 1900.

The interest in the tobacco business at
present is centered in the delivery Of and
receiving Of the 80 crop. Hundreds of
wagons loaded with tobacco in the
bundle, and seen on our streets nearly
every day and the warehouses present
lively scenes where the tobacco is de-
ivered.
Huge heaps of bundles are lying in
the warehouses and will furnish work
for the assorters for many week.
A few buyers are riding from this
market, picking up the struggling crops
in the growing sections. Prices remain
about the same as for several weeks.
In old leaf fair trade in small lots is
reported, but no sales of large size have
come to our notice. Liberal shipments
to eastern and other points have been
made.-Farm and Home.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, January 26, 1900.

EiDGERTON, WIS, January 70, 19OO.
Buyers are quietly nibbling away at
the '99 crop but the movement no where
near reaches the magnitude Of the ear
lier rush, though it slowly but surely is
shaving off pretty fair slices from the
unsold remnants IN growers hands.
Buyers assert that trading is conducted
easier now than for some time past,
since the growers are more pliable and
the bulk Of late sales occurring at more
moderate prices than have prevailed
heretofore. Much of the tobacco now
moving is on an export basis, though
holders of the better grades are reported
to be willing to shade their asking prices.
The present movement is likely to con-
tinue for some time before the crop is
lifted. Late sales reaching us are;

w. S. Brill has purchased about 2Oa
of Cuban tobacco during the week.
Old leaf continues to move readily and
the stock remaining either in first hands
or with packers is being rapidly de-
pleted. Mr.. Warner, a cigar manufac
turer of Chicago, picked up about 1OOcs
of '97 and '98 in this section, including
22cs of '97 of John Roam, 22cs of '9S OF
P. N. johnson and 32cs of '98 of J. Mar
tin. Peter N. johnson also sold 160cs oi
'98 to Child Soverhill & Porter sold the
last of their '95 packing, 500cs to ar
eastern party this week. T. B. Earle
bought 500cs Of Barnard & Wilder fol
the Bamberger account.
The breaking up Of the roads during the
week caused temporary lull in deliver
les at the warehouses, though the pack
ers are receiving much faster than they
| can handle it despite the fact that ;
good deal of bundle leaf is being shipped
out Of the state.
The shipments out OF storage agair
reach upwards of 80 car loads for th'
week, 1571cs, to all points from this sta
tion. Twelve carloads were received
from outside points for handling in thi
market. Less than 300cs Of cigar lea
were exported from New York since las

The Treasury statement for the first
six mouths of the present fiscal year
shows surplus of over S2l,000,000 for
that period. This is a truly wonderful
showing, when one considers that we
have been carrying on war, and that
the necessary expense of the government
have been far above the normal. No
other country under the sun could pos
sibly hope TO present a balance sheet so
creditable. England's war in South
Africa, in which fewer men will be en-
gagged than have been in the United
States service much of the time since
July, 1898, will undoubtedly leave that
country with largely increased debt
and make anything like surplus for
some time to come impossible.

AMERICAN farmers are looking to the
Philippines for the Manila fiber from
which their binding twine is made. The
rebellion in these islands has run the
price up enormously. A year or SO ago,
it sold at AZ cents a pound Now it
brings 14115 cents. The hemp ports are
being opened as rapidly as possible, and
it is said that there are immense stocks
of the fiber awaiting shipment. AS soon
as this begins to arrive, the price will
take tumble, and all manufactures of
this important fiber will become much
cheaner
