Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market,

Sales Of tobacco are only occoo;~- :
heard of nowadays, and generally by
some one who has a crop that has to be
sold, hit or miss, or where here is some
out about it. There is class of growers
who seem disposed to add moisture to
their goods SO that they may weigh pret-
ty heavy. These foolish growers ought
to know that, though the addition OF a
half gallon of water to case of tobacco
will give them about five pounds more
weight, yet really it detracts at least
from two to five cents pound from it's
value. So it is penny-wise and pound
foolish operation. We nave an Instance
OF the kind brought to our notice this
present season, where's grower sold his
six or eight acre crop and had to throw
in over fifty bundles of really ruin leaf
Why will growers manifest such greed
and have it rebound to their own injury?
Our news from correspondents is
rather meagre. Conway: sThe tobacco
trade has been very quiet here of late.
There were a number of good lots that
were unsold and the growers had begun
to sort and pack but last week two or
three buyers from New York came in
and bought eight acres of j. c. Newhall
Son, seven acres OF j. b. Packard and
quite number of sma Ter lots in this
town and Ashfield; prices ranged from
IL to l5c. The farmers are almost all
making preparations for another crop. I
don't think that there will be much of
an increase in the crop next season."
Warehouse Point, Ct: "The bulk of the
Havana leaf is sold. For some reason
the seed leaf does not sell as rapidly as
heretofore There will be from twelve
to fifteen new tobacco barns built this
year. Many of our farmers have been
drawing fertilizers for the use in growing
tobacco. Quite an increase in acreage"
Ellington, CT: "We have had sales of
both varieties seed leaf and Havana
seed. he demand has been best for
Havana leaf. What has been sold of
both kinds has ranged from Is to 18c.
Many OF our growers are preparing to
sort and pack their crops. Some dealers
have been offering lower prices, but |
don't know of any sales" Southamps
ton: The crop is practically all sold.
Prices were as good as bargained for,
but poor lots generally have to suffer on
delivery, though our crop was, as rule,
a fine one. There will be some increase
but not large A grower writes that
she had favored the idea of cilltiyatipg
seed leaf tobacco, as it had sold we'll and
at higher prices than the Havana variety
but tie present years sales are decided
ly in favor of Havana" We unhesitat-
ingly concur in his conclusions Hins-
dale, N. H.. March 4: II have two sales
to report to New York party the past
week. There have been several parties
looking for cheap goods, but we don't
grow that kind. Cullivator.

NEW YORK, Mar. 6, 1901.

The domestic leaf market is still suf-
fering from severe attack of locomotor
ataxia. Although few houses report
that review of their February transac-
tions shows that they did as much busi-
ness as in February, 1900, most dealers
report decidedly unfavorable compari-
son. The first week of March shows no
indications of change for the better.
Dealers generally are devoting the most
of their time to the discussion of the
possibilities of trade revolution" re-
sulting from the advent of new cigar
manufacturing firm in the field. The
sooner they awaken from their troubled
dreams, the better it will be for the in
terests of the trade. Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof"
Sumatra. near approach of the
first inscription has thrown the Sumatra
trade into state of serious meditation.
Statesmen complain that customers are
already hanging back with view to sec
ing what the new crop is like, and goods
are moving slowly. Business during the
week has been generally slack.
Havana. Sales for local account dur
ing the week have been few in number
and of little moment The demand from
the west has been quite strong, however,
and on the whole fair business has
been done.-Leaf.

Lancaster.
LANCASTER NEW ERA. Mar. 5, 1901.

The business in Old tobacco shows no
more animation than for some weeks
past, and the sales are even fewer than
they were then. The same condition of
things exists to greater or less extent
In all the large leaf markets, and yet a
number of dealers are taking hope be-
cause they have had numerous inquiries
about the 1899 crop, and those who hold
these goods believe they will make money
on them, not only because they are bet
ter than the 1900 goods, but because they
can be used at once for certain grades
of cigars,
The only sales that have been reported
to US were made by Walter S. Bare. in
several lots, aggregating 100 cases. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales reported were 335 cases.
There has been more buying of last
years crop lately than for some time
past. A number of packers appear to be
at work in different localities The
buyers in almost every case are country
packers, the city dealers still holding
aloof. The latter manifest no more dis
position to begin buying now than they
did three months ago.

Still, no Improvement. That is to say,
with large houses that do their own
packing and importing, and are in the
habit of supplying the large factories.
The jobbing houses, whose trade is with
the smaller factories, are fairly busy.
Their customers have not been seized
with the scare of an anwarranted compe-
tition, and they are working along and
replenishing their stock, according to
the actual and not speculative conditions.
And the actual conditions show not only
an unabated, but normally progressive
state in the cigar industry.

JANEsvILLE, Wis, March s. 1901.

The buving of the new crop has at
tanned a good deal of activity and the
crops remaining in the hands of the
farmers are being carefully looked after
and gradually picked up. In some sec
tions but few crops remain unsod. Buy
ers are riding in all parts of the state.
Prices remain fairly satisfactory, consid-
ering the recent scare, which was like a
soap bubble, mostly air..
The demand for old goods remains
limited and is largely confined to small
lots. John Soulman & Co., sold car
load Of 81 to eastern parties.
The cold weather and bad roads have
retarded deliveries. but most of the as
sorting rooms are still running Damp
weather is greatly needed to case up the

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EpGERToN WIS. March Is. |!


While possibly there has not been as
much riding being done the past week,
the movement of lifting the remnants of
the crop is still going on in most sections
and large amount of export and low
grade goods are being contracted for at
from to &c. The better grades, how
ever, command higher prices and are
still being looked after and the unsold
fraction of the crop continually being
Whitfield away. The following transac
tions have come to our notice:

posed of 400cs of '99 goods of late. An
drew Jenson purchased 3lcs of '99 of c..
L. Holton.
The deliveries are dropping off at the
warehouse points and a few of the pack
ing houses are compelled to close because
SO much tobacco is still hanging. Several
days of casing weather has occurred
during the week which bids fair to bring
the hanging leaf down.

This subject is clearly brought to view
in the following observation of the New
York Tobacco Journal;
A dull and stagnant leaf market.
A shortage in old stock of every avail
able type of leaf.
A partial failure of the new crops.
A busg cigar industry. It's output DUR
ing the current year is likely to exceed
by several hundred millions the six
thousand million figure
These observations are mere statements
of plain facts But how can they be
reconciled? That's the great conundrum.
One explanation is the nervous scare
that has taken hold of both the leaf
trade and cigar industry on account of
the American Tobacco Company's going
into the cigar manufacturing business.
But this scare is irrational and ground
less, as we have taken occasion to point
out repeatedly. In the end it will revenge
itself on its own victims. If this coun-
try does not go to the dogs within the
next three months, il no general panic
sets ia that will depreciate all values
and arrest business and throw millions
outsof employment, if the decision of the
Il. S. Supreme Court is unfavorahle to
the anti -Imperialists, SO THAT the United
States will not be swamped with the to-
aaacco asd cigar products OF the Philip
pine Islands, then cigar manufacturers
will very shortly be compelled to pay
large advances on all the raw stock of
last years crops, and if anyone dilly
dallies he might find himself cut short
in his supply altogether. That is the
situation as it presents itself today to
the impartial observer
