Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.


There is but slight stir in the tobac-
co market here in the valley. We hear
of an occasional sale at prices somewhat
less than those of an earlier date. Bust
ness in the country, as we'll as city, is al
ways very quiet at the close OF the year,
as we'll as a week or two in the new year.
There is much talk among growers as
to the propriety of growing the crop un
der shade. It is probable that few
venturesome as we'll as progressive grow
ers may try small pieces to learn the best
methods of culture, harvesting as we'll
as curing. The labor of picking off the
leaves as they ripen, and stringing them
upon string and hanging without in.

The majority of the buyers are attend,

The doRestic leaf market shows ar
early tendency to recover from the holi
dsy cessation. A number of visitors are
in town looking over the field, and the
business of the week was much larger
than the trade had reason to expect. The
fact that the '99 Wisconsin and Flats
offer about the only binder stock now
available in the market makes those to-
baccos particularly ia demand.

LANC CASTER New EiRA. Jan. 8. 1901

We still have to report continuance
of the dullness which set in about q
month and half ago. There is neith9f
selling of old goods nor buying of the
new. The prices offered for the former
leave no profit to the dealer, and the,
prices asked for the latter scare off buy
ers, so it is simply hold off situation all
around. When change will come
along and what shape it will assume no
one knows or pretends to know. There
is no doubt, however, that packers
would at once take hold of the new crop,
If lower prices were asked for it, and run
the chances of imperfections and antici-
pated damages. The only transactions
we have been advised of were SO cases
sold by Walter S. Bare and 25 bought by
the new firm of ?. L. & j. r. Leaman.
For the corresponding week of last year
$40 cases changed hands.

It is announced that the American
Tobaco@ Co. has launched another ten
million dollar offspring to be named the
American Cigar Co., which is to take
over the cigar manufacturing business,
which the ooIpus is about to absorb.
The first purchase made is the Powell
Smith Co, OF New York, and with other
we'll known factories which are under
consideration, ere to beput into the com

water will bejinjected li5erally when the

croachznents of the big combine, while
they view their customers going into the

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Jan. Io, lSUl.
There is little picking away at the
new crop continually going on in quiet
manner in some sections, though without
much organized effort to lift the unsold
portions. Prices indicate that all grades
are being taken, though the average run
of sales show decline from early quota
tions. Transactions coming to our no.

follows:

Old leaf matters have been rather dull
of late, the transactions being confined
to small lots mainly. We learn that H
w. Child has purchased 500cs of export
grades out of the '99 packing of Goldberg
Bros. & Co. at Westby.
A large amount of the new crop is now
being delivered at the warehouses and
the condition of the tobacco is about as
heretofore mentioned. So large pro
portion of damaged leaf is found in the
majority Of the crops that complete set
tlement is deferred until the tobacco has
been passed over the sorting tables
Reflections are also not infrequent. Many
of the growers who have not sold begir
to see the wisdom of asserting their crops
upon the farms before offering it fo1
sale and avoid all disputes at delivery.

much riding is being done. A few wind

much sound tobacco has been bought

tobacco has been received at the ware

Edgerton,

If some of the many complaints lodged
at this office are true, we fear few Of
the warehouse firms are not treating the
farmers as fairly as they ought tin re-
ceiving the present crop. The complaint
is entered that after the grower has
given his consent to deliver his crop sub
ject to warehouse handling, tobacco is
thrown out that ordinarily passes for
merchantable leaf If these allegations
are true we must concede that the
growers are justified in entering their
protests and upon the showing of the
facts any court of justice would award
them proper measure of damages. We
know, however, that many of the pack
ers notify the farmers when their crops
are to be handled in the warehouse and
invite them to be present and to see
personally just what class of leaf is re-
jected as damaged and if there be any
difference of opinion as to the work that
is being done the matter is adjusted
then and there. Where this course OF
procedure is practiced the settlements
have usually been satisfactory. But
where the farmer has not been invited
to watch the handling of the crop, the
conditions might possibly be different.
If undue advantage is being taken of the
growers it is hardly reasonable to expect
but more or less litigation will result be-
fore the receiving season has'closed. The
writer is aware that this is 6 tender sub
ject to touch upon, but his belief in
Justice and fair play is sufficient excuse
for saying that the complaints above al
luded te oughtsnot to exist.

The house committee on agriculture
gave hearing on Wednesday to the Of
fcials of the Cigar Leaf Board of Trade
of the United States, who urged larger
appropriation for the division of soils of
the department of agriculture, to aid the
work it is doing in the Introduction of
new varieties of cigar leaf tobacco, and
improved methods of cultivation, curing
and fernention In Pennsylvania alone,
according to Secretary Wilson, of the
agricultural department., a saving of at
least 81 100000 annually will result from
pew methods of fermentation introduced
by the department., which improves the
favor and aroma of the filler tobacco.
Ohio has largely profted in the same
way. In spite of the high import duty
of Si.85 per pound upon wrapper leaf, |
about 10000 bales of Sumatra tobacco |
which, with the duty, costs about S15,- |
100000, of which nearly 100000 are
to foreign producers, are annually i'm |
ported into this country. The expert
ments made by the department of agri-
culture go to show that in a very short |
time we will be able to keep that |
money at home by producing the same
tobacco in this country.

The ILLINOIS CENTRAL
AND THE
Pan-American Exposition.

In none of the new Industries of the
last decade has there been greater pro-
gress than In the art of preparing and
managing great expeditions. 1t was
often said after the Worlds Fair closed
its gates that this country would not
see Its equal in fifty years. That pre-
dlction will be disproved in the present
year OF 1901; for in all but the space oc-
cupted, the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo will excel the great show of
1888. This means that more can be
seen in the same length of time at the
Pan-Amerlcan, with less of the fatigue
and WEAKNESS that was unavoidable at
the Worlds Fair. The exhibits will be
as varid, interesting and instructive as
1t Is possible to make them; and in the
matter OF entertainment features, the
Buffalo show will surpass all former ex.
positions.
An artistic booklet, of sixteen pages.
beautifully illustrated, and giving a
concise description of what this great
exposition is to be, will be mailed free
on application to the undersigned.
The Illinois Central Is prepared to
handle a very large business to Buffalo
this season, and is In position to offer
unsurpassetl service to the Exposition
City. The excursion rates have not
been announced as yet, but 80 soon as
they are, all those who have sent for q

promptly notified.
