LANCASTER New ERA. Dec. IL, 1900.

A general inquiry among our tobacco
men reveals the fact that the local mar
ket shows no signs of improvement from
the condition OF dullness that has pre-
vailed for some weeks Things seem to
have settled down to state of quietude
that gives every sign of duration until
after the holidays. Of course, few
case lots are sold by most who do that
kind of business, but large lots Just
now are rare enough to cause comment
when they occur. B. f. Good Il Co. are
the only house that has run to three fig
ures during the week, they having sold
10S boxes and bought 179.
The lull in the buying of new tobacco
continues. Nearly all the city packers
who were in the field have retired, and
the men who are still at work are coun
try packers There is an almost uni
versal belief that the crop is not worth
the money asked for it, and as that is
more than was paid for the 1899 crop,
which finds no market, buyers ask them
selves and others how they can figure
profit out of an inferior crop. 1t is a
question which they will have to decide
for themselves, but evidently they are
not much in hurry about it.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The dealers are busily engaged assort-,
ing and packing what they had pur-'
chased early. Large gangs of men are
employed, and some of the packers have
enough stock to last until late in the
spring, but the majority have only
enough to last until about the middle of
February. OF course these packers are
picking up such lots as they can buy
low enough to suit their purposes, and
unless some new buyers appear they are
willing to bide their time.
We hear of occasional sales, but most
ly at prices seldom better than 16c. The
result will be that some parties now
holding it will have it assorted, or else
sell below the market price. There has
been but little trouble, the packers gen
orally taking the leaf without finding
any fault. We have only heard of one
case; that was too wet and damaged.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Suffield, CT, Nov. 81, "There isn't much
stir in the tobacco trade of late. Several
carloads of the crops bought early leave
each week. Packing houses have been
open two or three weeks, and others will
put on sorters soon. Most of the crops
are in the bundle; not much left on the
poles" Hinsdale, N. H.: mo sales to re-
port. Most of the tobacco is in the bun
die, No buyers of late" Northfield: "No
recent sales of tobacco. There are several
good crops here, all in the bundle, The
weather has been very favorable for cur
ing and the crop was never better.-Cul-
tivator.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Dec. q, 1900.

There is little picking away at the
new crop going on in few localities,
but buying nowhere indicates much ac-
tivity and prices are considerably shaded
under the quotations early in the season.
But few of the sales will reach above the
Sc mark and most of them are at 7c and
under for wrapper and binder grades.
Geo. Rumrill has been riding during the
week and purchased so to IS acres. M.
FL. Soverhill closed contracts for about
IS acres about Stoughton during the
week at figures above quoted.
The market for old stock partakes
something of the character of eastern
centers, where but few sales are report
ed. L. B. Carle & Son disposed of 200
cases of '99 to an eastern jobber.
The deliveries of the new crop have
been liberal during the week and the
practice of holding back portion of the
purchase price until the crop has been
run over the sorting tables is quite gen
orally enforced.
The shipments out of storage reach
II carloads, 550cs, from this station to
all points during the week. Since last
report about SO0cs of cigar leaf were ex-
ported from New York.

All things considered, dealers in do
mestic leaf tobacco have small grounds
for complaint against the business of the
week. Contrary to expectations there
are quite number of out-of-town peo-
pie looking around the market, despite
the fact that in less than three weeks
the new year will have commenced. Of
course, just at this time general activity
cannot be expected; but even when deals
are being put through here and there
along the street, it shows that it is only
the lateness of the season that stands in
the way of fine, we'll distributed bust
ness. 1t is safe to predict that January
and February of next year will be hust-
ling months in the leaf tobacco line,

The market has picked up during the
past week. Sales in the country and de-
liveries have been in larger volume than
for several weeks past, packing houses
which had stopped buying some months
ago, having again entered the field.
The light rains during the week, with
chilly air, failed to case tobacco in the

NEW YORK. Dec. Is, 1900.

The market is assuming a holiday air.
Whatever business transpired during the
past week was chiefly for immediate
consumption. There was only one ex-
ception, and that was the sale of some
good sized lots of Wisconsin, and like
wise Havana. Business in Havana leaf
was exceedingly brisk during the past
few weeks and remains so. The holiday
trade, particularly in clear Havana ci-
gars, made the manufacturers hustle to
acquire suitable factory vegas, for which
very stiff prices were paid. And even
larger business in this class of leaf
could have been done if only the tobacco
could pass the Appraisers Department
in a reasonable time. The Sumatra,
however, is affected by the other condi-
tions of the trade and brisk business
can hardly,be expected before the factor
les resume operations after stock taking
in January

A great deal of sport used to be made
of Secretary Jerry Rusk, of Agricultural
Department, for saying that tobacco was
a necessity of life, though Mr.. Blaine
afterwards took the same ground. The
view of the distinguished Wisconsin ag-
riculturist is now receiving scientific
support, for in a cablegram, published
recently, the London Lancet declares
that tobacco ''used in moderation is
second only in value to food itself in the
case of men enduring long labors on
short rations." Those who contend that
tobacco is injurious to the human sys-
tenn will protest against this, but really
it makes little difference when mankind
is practically united in it's use. The TO-
bacco habit may have some offensive
features, but the persistsncy with which
it's consumption goes on is sufficient
answer to all the arguments that can be
made against it. The only reformation
that is possible is in correcting excess,
and impressing upon the user that he
should not allow his pet habit to offend
other people. 1t is time, though, to quit
calling the custom a vice, as in the case
with habitual consumers of drugs or
liquor drinking. Tobacco does not fire
the brain nor debilitate the body, and,
as the Lancet suggests, it may be of
real benefit in certain cases. The man
who has never taken to the weed isapos-
sibly better off, but the indulgence is by
no means serious evil.

The U. S. Tobacco journal puts a
rosey tint on the prospects for trade in
the following prospectus for the coming
year:
That our cigar industry continues on
the highssroad of prosperity there cannot
be the least doubt. The phenomenal
and unprecedented increase OF the last
fiscal year may not be surpassed or even
reached very soon again. Nevertheless,
any increase over the phenomenal ad.
vance of that year must be accepted as
more than gratifying proof of the pros
porous continuance of the development
of our cigar industry. The first four
months of the new fiscal year show an
increase over the unprecedented increase
of the first four months of the last fiscal
year of 473,62O,164. If the remaining
eight months of the fiscal year show only
the same proportion of increase, and
there is no reason perceptible why they
should not, then sthe total increase for
the fiscal year which will end on June
30. 1901, will amount to 473,62O, ,164, and
the total production to nearly five thou
sand eight hundred millions, in round
numbers. The consumption of cigar
leaf during the present fiscal year will,
therefore, exceed by far hundred mil
lion pounds, the largest quantity on
record. No wonder that our domestic
cigar leaf growers are enjoying exceed
lngly prosperous times.

GAINESVILLE, WIS.,, Dec. II, 1900.

There are but very few dealers riding
from this market and these do not seem
very anxious to add to their holdings Of
the new crop.
Many of them claim that the percent
age of damaged tobacco is SO great that
they do not care to invest farther until
they have had chance to more criti
cally examine the tobacco by putting
portion of it over the tables.
A considerable quantity has been al
ready delivered at the warehouses and
much Of the tobacco is all right and still
there are many crops that are in too
high case and some farmers have been
greedy enough to put lot Of trash pole
rot and other understandable tobacco
into the bundles, where they know full
we'll it does not belong, and in such cases
the buyers refuse to settle in full until
the goods have gone over the tables, re-
vealing the amount of the damaged stuff.
This gives rise to some hard feelings,
but the dealer claims he paid good
price and he wants good tobacco in ex-
change for his money.
In old goods there is some stir. G. HI.

There is bit of comfort to be gotten
in the recommendations of the Ways
and Means committee of congress in re-
ducing the war tax forty millions of dol
lars. The tax on cigars gets a reduction
of more than three million dollars, which
to say the least, under present circum-
ssa1ncesy is more than we had expected.
But let no one deceive himself with the
IDEA we do not think the cigar industry
quite deserving of this recognition, for it
is most assuredly. With an added tax
of only 60 cents thousand-too small to
make the consumer pay, but in the ag
gregate amounting to a considerable
suin-the cigar manufacturer has had
to bear the burden of this tax, which
other manufacturers in the tobacco
trade have been enabled to saddle on
the consumer.

NOTE BOOB SIX ETOREs.

The spirit of inven tion is still rife and
the tobacco industry is receiving it's
share of the improved conditions. The
tobacco sizing machines, which made
their appearance last year, have set sew
eral brains at work perfecting conttriv-
ances to supplant the hand work IN
handling tobacco Now comes proml-
nent dealer with an announcement that
he has invented a tying machine that
will tie any sized hand of tobacco desir-
ed and do it automatically. The ma
chine is small operated by moter and
can be attached to the sorting table and
it's use will save good deal of time de-
voted to hand tying, besides every hand
will be exactly the same size. The in
ventor will not have his machine per-
fected in time to be put on the market
this season, but more will be heard
about it and the wonderful things it
will do later.

A new commissioner Of internal reve-
nue. has been appointed in the person OF
John W., Yerkes of Kentucky, the de-
feated republican candidate for governor
of that state. He comes from the larg-
est tobacco growing section of the south
and ought to be more familiar with the
needs of the tobacco industry than some
of his predecessors. It has been difficult
to make some previous commissioners
understand the effect of arbitrary and
often absurd rulings of the department
upon the industry. It is to be hoped the
new official will have better knowledge
of the conditions of this important trade
and spirit of fairness will pervade the
conduct of his office.
