AS far as the domestic leaf market is
concerned, nothing has occurred during
the past week to alter the quiet and
rather monotonous condition which has
prevailed for some weeks past. This con-
ditlon, however, is a very natural one.
Stocks of domestic leaf are low, and the
period of midsummer laXity has arrived.
AS there is only small assortment of
goods to offer, it must be expected that
only comparatively small amount of
tobacco can change hands. Local pack
ers of Wisconsin are discussing the fu-
ture of the 1901 crop with some fore
bodings. They fear that the delay in
planting, caused by the recent period of
hot, dry weather, will tend to materially
decrease the production this year. No
transactions of Importance have been re-
ported during the past week
Sumatra. branch of the trade
has not as yet fully recovered from the
interruption created by the holiday or
the effects of the recent hot spell. One
good sized sale, amounting to nearly 25O
bales, was put through few days ago,
however, and number of smaller trans
actions, ranging from 10 to 20 bales, have
also been reported, so that the business
for the week totals up to very saUisfac-
tory figure.
Havana change has been percep-
tible in this market since our last report.
Plenty of undesirable tobacco is lying in
the warehouses, but goods of merit are
by no means abundant. Buyers show
tendency to secure options on desirable
but high priced goods, and, under the
pretense of trying sample bale, they tie.

Aside from the pest of cut worms,
which did much damage to plants for
some days, Vernon county tobacco farm
ers have been favored with desirable
conditions for transplanting, and the
plants are coming on in fine shape. In
southern and eastern Wisconsin dry, hot
weather has hindered plant setting and
prevented growth after being placed in
the fields. Practically the entire crop
has been put out in this section and the
indications are favorable for large and
rapid growth.
Farmers are already active in making
repairs on their sheds, many of which
were injured or totally wrecked by the
late storms. Their worst trouble will be
a shortage of help to do this work.
Inquiry among farmers is to the effect
that nearly or quite all the tobacco land
prepared for that purpose has received
it's portion of plants ard conditions are
favorable to rapid growth. Cut worms
have been bothersome and many farmers
compelled to 60 over their fields second
time, some even more than that. The
plants have been fine this season and
but for this, and the great quantities of
them, many would have been unable to
set their full acreage. Farmers sold and
borrowed plants from each other. We
believe the acreage will average larger
than last season by perhaps twenty per
cent.-Censor.

Complaints continue about the gen
eral dullness of the market, notwith-
standing the official statistics of the
steady and considerable increase in the
output of the cigar industry. Why the
market should continue to be inactive
when the cigar industry is piling up in
dustry is piling up increases from fifty
to a hundred millions per month is one
of the problems that nobody seems to be
able to fathom. The complaints of dull
ness, however, must not be taken in a
strictly literal sense; it merely means the
absence of large transactions such as
would clean out at one stroke the hold
inDg of any packing or importing house.
When it comes down to the question of
more moderate transactions, then bust
ness is in fairly tolerable condition.
Force -sweated wrapper leaf is always in
demand in small lots and SO are binders
and filters.
Of more concern than this slackness
of business, however, seem to be the re-
ports of the effect of the scorching heat
on the Wisconsin crop. There is hardly
a third of the 1900 crop in the hands of
the packers and if half of the 1901 crop
should be burned up by the heat then
famine of binder leaf is probably in view.
The most sought after leaf this fall will
be Wisconsin and prices will rule ac-
cordingly.
In Havana the market is quiet for the

July 5: Tobacco growing rapidly. A
wind and hailstorm visited part of this
section July 2, but fortunately, not much
damage was done; some pieces in the
southern part of the town of the larger
growth were blown over some, but soon
righted themselves. That section had
no hail. Twenty y-one new tobacco barns,
including additions, have been or soon
will be built here" North Hadley: "We
see by the daily paper that two large to-
bacco barns were blown down by the
heavy wind July 2. They belonged to
Patrick Whalen and a Mr.. Gurney; the
the loss quite large. There is quite an
increase in the acreage of tobacco this
year, and a good many new tobacco
barns have been built or are in progress
now. There is but small quantity of
old tobacco in the growers hands,"
Hatfield, July 6: "Our tobacco crop is
growing very fast, and there is some part
of the early setting that will be topped

show. The rain now falling will give the

The tobacco growers of this vicinity
at present have we'll founded idea that
the crop" which in years gone by has
made very respectable showing on the
right side of their ledger account, will
this year be pretty much of failure.
Many growers have not set their plants
as yet, and unless conditions speedily
change there will be no use of trans
planting at all. The early set plants are
looking failny we'll, but even they show
the result of the long drouth and heated
spell. 1t was necessary to reset many
plants because of the scorching heat
and the necessary extra labor required
will take quite a sum from the total
profits. nterprise. nm

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, July II, 1901.

By far the most disastrous drouth that
has ever visited this section is laying its
blighting and whitening touch upon
everything green in this section, and to-
bacco is suffering terribly, and, should
of the proposed acreage will be total
loss. The drouth is more pronounced in
this section than in other parts of the
state. Around the warehouses business
is practically at standstill, the only sale
reported being so cases of '98 sold by r.
