TO THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue Of the FREIE

sitively the largest circulation

IN the State of Texas.
1t has over 400 established

an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, and
in Oklahoma.
1t circulates from Galveston

state.
Three travelling men and our
very active local agents are con

In consideration of these facts
the "FREIE PREssE FUER TEXAS

tising medium in the State of

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Jan. 90, 1901.
The past week made poor record in
the leaf tobacco line in this market, the
sales being much below those of
the previous week-almost nil, in fact
No large sales were made. This is. per-
haps, partly accounted for by the fact
that SO many have gone into the jobbing
line that a great many goods are now.
sold in that way instead of in larger lots
This has been brought about by the de-
sire to accommodate men who run small
cigar factories. They are in this way
able to buy from week to week, and al
most from day to day, the stock they re-
quire, with minimum amount of capi-
tai, or even with no capital at all, paying
for their raw material after it has been
worked up and sold. The only sale re-
ported to us was one of fifty cases, made,
by w. S. Bare of this city. For the cor
responding week of last pear the sales
were 405 cases.
Last years goods still drag along
heavily, although most of them have
been stripped and are not ready for the
inspection of buyers. The few sales. re-
ported are made principally to country
packers and to cigar manufacturers.
The prices paid are about the same as
previously reported.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1901-02-08
EVANSVILLE, WIS, Feb. |, 1901

There is little change in the local mar
ket conditions, although there is some
thing more of disposition to take hold
of the hail cut portions of the crop,
Sam'l Grundy has entered the list of
buyers and is operating in Dane county.
The extremely cold weather has kept
some from riding.
In old goods there have been some
transactions between local packers. ].
B. Dearborn sold about 200 cases OF '99
to l.. B. Carle & Son, and VIM. Conrad
sold 800 cases OF so to the same firm.
Other transactions smaller in size, are
reported.
Deliveries at the warehouses contin-
ues fairly liberal, still some Of the pack
ers are not overstocked with bundled
goods.
About 800 persons are employed in
the asserting rooms and this number is
being rapidly increased and will soon
reach l0OO.-Farm and Home.

NEW YORK. Feb. 9. 1901.

The market is in anything but salts
factory condition. With an increase of
over five hundred millions in last years
cigar production, from which it is safe to
calculate that tine entire output of our
cigar industry for the current fiscal year
that will end on June 30 next will reach
the unprecedented figure of five thusand
seven hundred millions at least, it was
and could be expected that the leaf mar
ket would boom up most briskly in the
new year as soon as the factories would
be done with stock taking. For the fac
tories must be short of raw material to
Judge from the business they have done
the past year and down to the last day

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Very few of the growers are now will
ing to sell their crop at the prices the
packers are willing to offer. The intelli-
gent and we'll posted grower knows full
we'll that the price for the good crops
will not decrease, as the packers are not
in the business to reduce prices for the
fun of the thing. They hold now fully
three fourths of the 1900 crop, and prob
ably more. We think that those holding
good crops should have their crops as
sorted and packed in good shape, and
made ready for the market. There are
In all our towns parties who we'll under
stand all the methods of caring for and
selling the goods, and unless the grower
has facilities for doing the work it is
best, OF course, to take with the crop. At
any rate, have your crop ready for the
sale at the sweat.
Our correspondents write as follows:
North Hatfield, Jan. &c: Some of our
people complain because | don't write
oftener. The fact is, have been SO dis
gusted with the way things have been
and are going that / did not feel like
writing. Some shops take half crop
and refuse the other half until The first
is put up; Others receive the " hole crop
but pay for only half until the whole is
assorted, while others make the grower
wait until they get good and ready to
take the crop. Some shops are paying
their men by the pound, and the men
hay 3 received from S3 to $500 per day.
Should the farmers put up their tobacco
the way it is often done size it ALL then
put it all in the same box" North Had
ley, Jan. %: Il have nothing in the line
OF selling to report. The packers in
this vicinity say that it is asserting out
fairly well, but not as we'll as expected,
as is always the case. Hass of Hartford
has packer here by the name of w. A.
Wilson. Mr.. Hass offers Mr.. Wilson TO
pay all the expense OF covering his to-
bacco field and certain price per
pound for the crop if he will try it. |
think Mr.. Wilson will take hold of it.
Our farmers await the result with great
interest"

of the year. That the great expectations
were thus disappointed is due to the
causes analyzed in this place two weeks
ago. But these causes have more of an
imaginary than real existence, and when
the first shock wears off people will feel
ashamed of having been frightened by
such bugaboo and they will rush to the
market and do penance for having let
their factories run down. The transac-
tions for the past week, however, were of
the most moderate volume. The largest
share was done in force -sweated New
England leaf and in Havana leaf. In the
Cuban type factory vegas were in great
est demand. For the clear Havana
business remains the most flourishing of
any of the branches of the cigar indus,

EDGERToN, Wis, Feb. S, 1901

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Feb. 3, l90l.
Buyers are doing some riding in the
growiag dictricts again and all together
are moving quite little of the 1900 cror,
though the business is conducted on
quiet lines and at prices considerably
shaded over those paid earlier in the
season. But few of the sales come to
our notice, however, though the follow
ing will indicate the range of figures:
Fred Estes, 16a at 711S&2c.
d. G. Rosenberg, 10a at 61a&2c.
Henry Lear, 5a at 6&2c.
Mrs. j. Tverberg, 8a at 7&2c.
FL. Johnson, IA at 7&2c.
Geo. Rnmrill has been buying in the
Madison section during the week.
The only transaction in old goods
above small lots that have come to the
surface are about 5OOcs sold by G. L.
Culton to eastern parties and 300cs sold
by F. S. Baines.
The deliveries continue to come in
moderate quantities to keep the ware
houses in operation in most of the pack
ing centers, though there is still hanging
in some sections quite large portion of
the crop. This is especially true in
Vernon county and unless casing wealth
er comes soon, some Of the buyers who
bought literally in that locality will be
| compelled to close their sorting rooms.
! The ShipmentS out of storage reach a
total of 26 car loads, l300cs, from this
market to all points for the week past.
Since last report 290Ocs of cigar leaf
were exported from New York.

We overheard a tobacco dealer say the
other day: "That after all the dockage
and shrinkage the growers had been sub
jected to this season, on account OF dam
age, the farmers were realizing about as
much net cash for their crops as they
usually receive, and were pocketing
about as much profit as they expected
when the crop was growing. There was
quite a general talk about the time the
buyers were making their early contracts
that the growers were getting cent or
more pound than they expected, and
now, after delivery, they find themselves
just about where they first stuck their
stakes" This may all be so, but there
are good many growers who think they
have been unfairly treated in the settle
ments, and it will take some years, we
imagine, to eradicate this idea. One
thing seems certain, it will not be as
easy buying in the fields another season.
Farmers will be pretty shy about putting
their names to contracts for future de-
livery fer some time to come. 1t will be
a good taaing for all concerned If they
stick to that determination.
