facing the worst elements of weather
that have prevailed this year. Farmers
are very anxious to comp,e &c their de-
hyeries while sieighing continues. but
are compelled to bide tbs time Of the
warehouse men and shippers During
the past week seven carloads have
been shipped to outside points, besides
the great quantities unloaded at local
warehouses.
The Tobacco Reporter says of condi-
lions elsewhere in the growing districts.
There has probably never before been
time since Wisconsin became tobacco
state of Importance when the local deal
ers were as closely sold down in old
stocks as at the present time. Some
packers are cleaned out entirely of every
case of cured leaf they have in their
storehouses and others find their sup
plies SO low that it is only question of
very short time when they will be I'M
able to supply regular customers This
means good demand for the prospective
large increase in acreage that will be
grown the present season.
Probably there is less tobacco remain
ing in country districts than a year ago
this date. So generally speaking, the
crop is as fairly well bought up as in
ordinary years.
