WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, Sept. IA, 1901

The movement of the new crop in Yer
non county has reached stage where it
is attracting the trade. Rivalry among
the buyers has occasioned some rapid if
not reckless buying of the crop. Deal
ers fresh from the field of operation
claim that somewhere from third to
half the crop, estimated at $4,000 cases,
has been contracted for. Of this amount
80 per cent at least has been bought by
local Vernon county firms, while Nab
bett, Underhill and Sutter Bros. divide
the greater share of the balance. Fully
"a score of buyers have been chasing one
another over the growing sections and
two-t thirds of the crop between Viroqua
and Soldiers Grove is reported purchas-
ed. Prices range from 1Oc down for de-
livery in the bundle Dealers who have
been on the ground are of the opinion
that the average price will not much ex-
ceed SIC. Up to date we do not learn
that buying has reached beyond the
Vernon and Crawford county sections.
This week will about complete the
harvest of the new crop in all sections.
The weather continues favorable for the
curing of the shielded leaf though some
complaint from shed burn is heard oc-
casionally. The curing sheds will need
close attention far some time yet.
Sampling of the '99 packings is being
carried on in a moderate way. Little is
heard concerning transactions in old Ieaf
OF late except an occasional sale of ex-
port grades in the eastern markets.
Shipments out of storage reach about
20 car loads, S0Ocs, for the week past
from this market to all~points. Less
than 1OOcs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York since last report.

tally favorable for the curing of the
shielded tobacco, else there would have
been vastly more shed burn than the
crop will now yield, for the curing shed
have, of necessity, been crowded beyond
all precedents. Rarely has the leaf
cured more rapidly which will ensure ex-
ceedingly bright colored tobacco. And
yet it has come down naturally with no
drying winds to hay it. The early har-
vested portion is now so far advanced
that it can readily be seen what the gen.
eral texture of the crop will be, and it
bids fair to be outside of the storm dam
aged sections, a remarkably handsome
type of tobacco, thin, light colored and
an exceptionally fine binder leaf.

it. The largest single one was one for
over twenty-five hundred boxes, as de-
tailed elsewhere. The 80 Pennsylvania
has turn out magnihcently and will
be one of the most useful crops this sea-
son. Aside from its very desirable BIS
the tops will prove a veritable godsend
for stogey wrappers and machine binders
and the lighter leaf will in many in
stances have to do service for the Con
necticut leaf. About 1900 boxes changed
hands this week, at an average price of
1315 cents, without tops and filters.
The scarcest article now is and will be
binder stock. There was but 25 per cent.
of it in the so Wisconsin, and very little
in the Ononadga and Big Flat crops.
The price of the 9S Wisconsin has there
fore jumped up to 16 cents and may go
next season sets in.
Naturally, the Sumatra was not neg
lected by the crowd of buyers, who real
lied the shortage of the domestic wrap
per crops. Nearly 600 bales were taken,
and all the importers get their share.
And, strange to say the objection to the
new Sumatra seems to have died out all
at once. Not only are its immense yield
and reasonable price recognized but
even it's colors and it's quality seem to
prove unobjectionable now. Besides the
Sumatra, the Florida will have this year
an excellent opportunity for an extensive
use on it's own merits. The 80 crop is
reported as having turned out excep-
tionally fine.

New York.
New YORK Sept. 8, 1900.

The market the past week was crowd
ed with out-of- town buyers and conse-
quently business was exceedingly brisk.
OF course, not every buyer found exactly
what he wanted and what he came for,
nor were the prices particularly inviting.
Perhaps in years he had not encountered
market that was so difficult to buy in,
and yet he had to buy for very weighty
reasons. One was that he was himself
bare of stock, and so are his home custo-
mers; and the other, that there is no
surplus of leaf on hand, and if he misses
his opportunity of stocking himself now,
he may not be able to do SO at all later
on. And so he went for what was to be
found, and not for what he could not
get The rush is, in the first place, for
light domestic wrapper leaf, and as the
New England crop produced only about
10 per cent. and the Big Flats hardly
any, it is not surprising that quick sales
are made of the light leaf at prices rang
ing all the way from 55 to rs cents. The
second rush is for the seconds, and they
are selling from 81 to 26 cents and above.
The darker leave has not such easy sail
ing, but even it will find it's takers at
reasonable prices, because the little and
cheaper grades of cigars must have their
wrappers too. The sales OF New Eng
land leaf the past week reached total
of about $500 boxes.

mand and big transactions were made in

EVANSVILLE, WIS, Sept. 6, 1900.

The growers have been exerting them
selves to the utmost this week in the eff
fort to get thier tobacco into the sheds.
The appearance of rust on the later to-
bacco has had tendency to hasten the
tobacco into the sheds The weather
has been favorable for harvesting all the
week and many have finished and others
are nearly through. At least four-ff
of the entire crop is in the sheds. In
some instances the work has been de-
layed by the lack of men to do the work,
but those who have finished turn in and
help their neighbors, SO the work is pro-
crossing rapidly,
The early shielded tobacco is curing
out nicely.
Nothing of especial importance in old
leaf has transpired during the week.
Some sampling of the '99 has been
done in this market, and while some
damage has been found, the samples are
generally satisfactory-Farm and Home

MIAMIsBURa, ONO, Sept. 5, 1900.

Transactions in the country are not
numerous, being generally on account of
outside parties. On account of the
damage to the 1900 crop by unfavorable
weather conditions tobacco in planters
hands is being more firmly held. Rust
in the fields, pale rot and house burn in
the sheds are reported as being extensive
in some sections, while the high upland
is exempt.
Several days of clear weather during
the week were favorable to that in the
fields, but rain on the Sd again changed
the good condition. Estimates are that
more than two-thirds of the crop are
housed.

Two or three large sales and some
scattered transactions of smaller proper
tions made, in the aggregate, a good
weeks business. The cry is still heard
that the quantity of goods actually sold
is small in comparison to the inquiry,
but it can safely be said that the mar
ket is thoroughly alive and that some
big inroads will be made in the stocks of
domestic goods before the activity ceases.
Samples of the new thinner Spanish are
now being shown. The two principal
sales of the week were $500 cases of 1899
Pennsylvania and 1869 cases of Con
necticut Broad leaf.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.


Dealers have bought few stray lots
of the 1900 crop of tobacco. The bulk
of these sales have most likely been made
for the purpose of "spotting." But few
of the sales have been of any practical
value to the public as the price obtained
has been kept private. We have few
sales where the price is given, ranging
from 1919 to 21c in the bundle. So it is
presunable that the private terms must
range along at similar figures.
The weather has been very warm and
we fear that some pole burn may be
found, still we do not get lisp of such
damage from any source. The atmos-
phere has been dry instead of humid,
and this is in it's favor. 1t must, how
ever, cure rapidly, il the barns are kept
open in the daytime. Care should be
exercised by the growers. The growth
is large, as our Hatfield correspondent
wrote: when hung in tive-foot bent the
plants overlapped.''
We give the following from our cor
respondents: \Suffield, Ct., Aug. 27:
Cutting tobacco is we'll in progress. The
last few weeks have made a wonderful
increase in the growth. Buyers are in
the field. Smith & Co. of Springfield,
has bought number of crops for spot
ting, paying 20 to 2lc in the bundle. The
growers are selling on the buyers word
nothing paid down-a foolish deal it
seems to me, after last years experience.

Whately, Mass, Aug. %: 1.-The 1900 to-
bacco crop is one of the best I have ever

Wethersfeld, Ct, Sept. L. ''The tobacco

largest crop ever raised, and is curing
light cinnamon color. There have been

Hinsdale, N. H.: Several acres of to-

A careful study of this table will sat
isfy the reader that these statistics are
much more carefully taken than those of
Rock county published two weeks ago,
and for that reason are entitled to more
credenoe The increase of acreage which
these figures show, 2,4O0 acres for the
county, comes very near meeting the ex-
bectations of those best posted in these
matters The town of Dunkirk appears
bn the list as the banner tobacco grow
Tag town in the state, reporting 1924
acres an increase of only 102 acres from
year ago. Next comes Pleasant Springs
with 1910 acres followed by Christiana
with 1896, then Albion with 1858 acres
while Cottage Grove and Rutland nearly
tie for fifth place, each with over 1000
acres growing. These six towns are
producing 80 per cent. of all the tobac-
co in the county. Making a liberal al
lowance for errors that manifestly crept
into the report of Rock county, the two
largest growing counties have produced
mot far from $4,000 acres of tobacco in
1900, and the figures of the entire state
will show crop exceeding 10000 acres,
the largest ever produced i'm Wisconsin.
***
Another evidence that tremendous
ly large crop has been grown and har-
vested is the new sheds or addition to be
found ON NEARLY every tobacco growers
farm The crop was not only large in
acreage but large in growth so that ad
ditional curing room was needed on al
most every farm. The sale of building
material Through the tobacco sections
has been enormously large and dealers
have invariably found it difficult to keep
up their stocks. The call for tobacco
lath has also been unprecedented.
Dealers who thought they had abundant
stocks ON hand at the beginning of the
season We're quickly sold out, and sew
eral mills i'm the lumber country have
been running night and day to supply
the demand, and even then at times,
there was not tobacco lath to be had
in any yard in the tobacco section of
the state. Never before have the lum-
Der dealers enjoyed a more rushing
trade than the last few weeks, and a
good proportion of the proceeds of the
present crop must go towards paying
for additional curing sheds. About $50
carloads of tobacco material were re-
ceived in Edgerton alone during the
month of August.
*x*
A good many people wonder what the
growers expect to do with the rusty to-
bacco that some of them are harvesting.
It is hardly possible they hope to de-
ceive the buyers at selling time and by
spreading it through the crop in such a
way that it will not be noticed. The
only safe way we believe is to keep the
rusty portions entirely separate, and it /
would help sell their crop to keep apart
in the curing sheds even, SO that the de-
feet be fully understood and no decep-
tion practiced. It is pretty we'll under
stood that rusty tobacco is not merchant
able leaf in the common acceptation of |
the term, and cannot be delivered under !!
the ordinary contracts. The only safe |
way, therefore, is to keep the damaged
portions by itself and dispose of it on /
its merits.
