The only feature worthy of mention in
the domestic leaf market during the past
week was its general lack of activity.
While there were quite number of out
of-town people in the local market, the
visitors included sellers as we'll as buy
ers, and their invasion caused no stir in
the trade. Inquiry for the new Wiscon-
sin continues strong, but the ascendancy
of prices stands in the way of large sales.
Some buyers who earlier in the season
declined to take certain lots at 16 cents,
are now compelled to pay Is for the same
goods. There was a slight stir in 1900
Pennsylvania Broad leaf, but no large
sales are reported.
Sumatra. market, too, has lapsed
into state of quietude. Some attribute
it to the fact that manufacturers, not be-
ing in immediate need of goods, are de-
voting their attention to getting out hol-
iday orders, and no general revival is an
ticipated before the first of next year
1t is safe to say, however, that consider
able business will be done in small way
before that time.
Havana. a.--This branch is only fairly
active. Those who have factory vegas to
offer are quite busy, but buyers for Seed
and Havana purposes are not coming to
the front as readily as importers would
wish. While there is something of an
inquiry for the latter class of tobacco, it
is not particularly strong, and lockers
are unwilling to pay the prices asked.
Among the sales reported during the
week we're: so bales 1901 Partidos, p. t.;
60 bales 1900 Remedies, 1st capaduras,
64c; 100 bales 1900 Remedies, 1st capa-
duras, 65c; 40 bales 1900 Remedies, 1st
capaduras, &c all in bond.-Leaf.

The market for the 1900 crop moves
leisurely along scattering deliveries
dropping in every few days at 7 to Sc for
thinner and to for seedleaf. A gen
eral movement by the packers would
soon lift the remnants of this crop from
farmers hands, as they all seem to be
ready to sell.
Dry weather prevents farmers from
removing the new crop from the poles
preparatory to stripping. Until this
work gets fairly under way there is no
likelihood of purchases being made. AS
winter approaches the protracted dry
weather becomes more alarming, Many
farmers are already driving their stock
several miles to water, and a general
freeze-up without rain would entail seri-
Gus Inconvenience and hardship.-News

The market for all kinds of tobacco

in small lots, and these were not many.

ties is not brisk by any means, we may
congratulate ourselves on our good for.

to our attention are 157cs sold by M.

and bought 155, and l. H. Weaver sold
85cs; in all 932cs. For the correspond
ing week of last year $50 cases were sold.
Everything is quiet in this years crop.
We hear Of no sales anywhere. The
weather is too dry to do much stripping
and packers will not buy on the poles.
Everybody appears to be waiting to see
in what condition the crop will be when
ready for buyers. That seems to be the
situation everywhere else, in Wisconsin,
Ohio, New York and New England. AS
there was considerable damage during
harvest time in all these sections, there
is wholesome fear that still more may
be lurking in the curing barns

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

A fen days of casing weather, the first
of the season since the hanging tobacco
became scured, prevailed during the
week. While the damp weather did not
continue long enough to bring the hang
ing leaf into prime case for removal
from the poles, doubtless many farmers
removed some portion of the crop so
that they might begin their stripping.
The commencement of the work will
also afford the dealers an opportunity to
secure samples of the cured crop and
permit of an inspection, which hereto
fore they have been unable to do. These
conditions are likely to induce some
riding among the buyers. There is such
an evident shortage of fine binder leaf
that the better crops will doubtless be
hunted out pretty thoroughly and if
they can be purchased at what the
dealers consider reasonable figures a
movement in the lower growing sections
might be confidently looked for. Their
first business will be to become familiar
with the quality of the crop and the
asking price of the growers. On the re-
suit of these conclusions will depend
the movement of the crop. It is to be
hoped that enough early buying will be
accomplished to ensure the opening of
the warehouses in the local packing
points.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

So much of the tobacco is now taken
| from the poles that we shall expect to
hear that sales will soon commence in
real earnest. We are also assured by
one of the leading trade papers that sit
is high time, too, that the damage scare
was laid at rest" We here in the tobac-
co growing country were never very
much scared, and looked at the BULLDOG
ing methods as intended to frighten the
growers to enable the packers to gobble
our crops at an inadequate price. We
are sorry that the trade papers lent their
space. if not their aid, to the packers to
facilitate the plans of the buyers. And
now as the Connecticut Havana must be
an essential article for the cigar trade, it
becomes necessary to remove the scare
crow. Hence they say the damage was
imaginary than real. So we hope that
our growers will recollect that high
prices must rule.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Northampton, Nov. II: II have my Zim-
mers Spanish stripped, and it goes into
the sweat room of Mr.. Carl of Hatfield
very soon. Then | shall be able to give
some evidence as to it's quality. There
are but few of our growers who have
taken all of their crops from the poles,
and a few that haven't taken down.
John Warner of Florence has sold his
six acres at 16 cents in the bundle"
Northfeld: "The crop here is very nice;
the colors are of the Boston light. There
has been considerable portion of the
crop taken from the poles, and it is tree
from damage" Enfield, Ct >""The very
early crops have small showing Of pole
burn, but the bulk Of the crop is very
fine and choice. No sales of late."-

The report of the Internal Revenue
commissioner for the last fiscal year
brings into prominence the part the to-
bacco industry plays as revenue pro-
ducer, and summed up by the U. S. Tob.
Journal appears af follows:
The report shows that our cigar and
tobacco industries contributed to the
National Treasury in internal revenue
taxes alone during the last fiscal year,
ended June 80, 1901, sum exceeding
sixty-two million dollars, which by far
exceeds any sum derived from the same
sources from any government under the
sun. This revenue was derived from a
production of 5,770. .934, 1863 large cigars,
684, ,5O4 $50 small cigars, 2,277, ,O69, ,818 ci-
garettes, 294, ,1O1, 715 pounds of manufac-
tured tobacco and 1891, ,845 pounds of
snuff. During the same year we import
ed 81, 1853, 500 cigars and 5,782,666 cigar
cites; and we exported 499, ,723 large ci-
gars, 1,465, 200 small cigars and 262, 2,327,-
$50 cigarettes. The number of cigar fac
tories reported during the year was 27,-
1886, and of cigarette factories 308. The
quantity of leaf tobacco used in the pro-
duction of large cigars was 102,561 1873
pounds, or an average of 1874 pounds to
a thousand cigars; and the quantity of
tobacco used in the production of little
cigars was 2,833,816 pounds, or an aver.
age of 46 pounds per thousand, which
shows an excess of 1.6 pounds over the
legal allowance. This may be of benefit
to the tobacco grower, but it does not
tend to heighten the respect for the law.

The agricultural department, by its
tobacco experts, has undertaken the
task of selling the tent-grown Sumatra
leaf To do this they have arranged
with seven brokers to assist in giving
the leaf fair sale, expecting that this
sale will determine whether it can COM
mand price high enough to warrant its
production, Some of the trade papers
kick at this proposition on the grounds
that the government exceeds its peroga-
tive in assuming to take charge of a bus
mess that properly belongs to the brok-
erS.

NEW YORK. Nov. %, 1901.


Quite satisfactory business seems to
have been done during the past week
although no large transactions of any
kind are to be reported. To Judge from
the demand nearly all middle-sized and
smaller factories are in need of con-
stant supply, with the result that job
bing trade in leaf was never in fairer
condition. And everything sells, and for
many fancy types that are either scarce
or too high priced substitutes are made
to do service. In New England leaf, as
predicted in this place months ago, the
darker and heavier leaf has the call now
that the light wrappers have disappear
ed. The factories, with their ever in
creasing output, must have wrappers,
and if they cannot get what they want
they must take what they can get. The
chances are that all the remnants of the
New England crop, no matter what their
color and quality, will be absorbed be-
fore the close of the year. The Wiscon-
sin is even in stronger demand, and but
for the price all would have moved out
of first hands by this time. Jobbers
think the price too prohibitory for them
to handle it, but when they get through
with the Onondaga they will have to
have some of it anyhow. Nor is the
Pennsylvania, State seed or Ohio leaf
neglected. A fair trade is being done
continuously in all of these smaller lots.
The transactions in domestic leaf during
the week aggregate about 1000 boxes.
The Sumatra market is likewise in
continuous fair condition. 1t is steadily
active and the sales seem to be satisfac-
tory both to buyers and sellers. The
aggregate sales reached about $50 bales.
In the Havana market decided i'm
provement has taken place. But the inn
provement is in the same line of activity
as in the other markets, a steady demand
for supply but always in small quanti-
ties. However, better prices are being
realized now for Remedies than some
weeks ago. The trade in factory vegas
remains lively without break. The
sales for the week amounted to about
15, 1000 bales.-Journal

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, Nov. 90, l9C

The long looked for casing weather
came during the week and while it did
not continue long enough to secure an
even case throughout the sheds, some
tobacco has been taken down by many
growers who are anxious to begin strip
ping. Since the damp weather buyers
have been doing some riding in the
growing sections, trying to acquaint
themselves of the merits of the crop and
locate the most promising lots. The
samples that have been brought in show
tobacco of better color and thinner in
texture than was expected. There has
also been some feeling about among the
growers regarding prices and little
buying done. The bulk of the buying,
however, is still being handled by repre-
sentatives of the American Cigar Co.,
who are credited with having bought
quite extensively of late in the Rio sec
ton, at from s to 1Oc for binder and
wrapper grades. An estimate is made
that three quarters of the acreage in
that section is already contracted for.
Wisconsin leaf is still selling literally
in the eastern markets. The Bamberger
firm is said to have disposed of 4000cs of
their holdings last week. Andrew Jen-
son sold 45Ocs of 1900 to New York
manufacturer. It is reported that
Grundy of GAINESVILLE sold 240cs lot to
Fendrich, the Evansville, Ind, manu-
facturer. F. S. Baines sold one lot of
243cs and to another customer 119cs of
1900 stock. S. B. Heddles sold a mod
crate sized lot to Young of Philadelphia
Several smaller transactions have also
come to notice.
Shipments out Of storage reach a total
of Al car loads, 2027 cases, from this
market to all points during the week.
Since last report 1850 cases of cigar leaf
we're exported from New York.

The stemming of tobacco which has
been carried ON in the local markets of
this state the past few years is becoming
an important industry. Besides distrib-
during the summer MONTHS it provides
an outlet for vast amount of low grade
goods which have heretofore been a
menace to the price of better stock. Mr..
Chas. L. Culton is the largest operator
in stemmed goods and is about closing
up the work of the season, having shut
down warehouses at Whitewater, Fort
Atkinson, GAINESVILLE and Brod-
head, leaving the force at the home
office in Edgerton to complete the work.
When the packing season closed in the
splls4s, ], and. the labor put upon stemming
Mr., Culton had 100000 lbs of stock
on hand. During the summer months
he has kept employed between 700 and
800 hands at eight different packing
points with weekly pay rolls that runs
is a shrinkage of about third in
weight ia stemming so that the output
of the season for this firm is something
over sixty carloads, comprising quite an
extensive business. Stemming is also
carried on quitely largely by S. B. He'd
dies at GAINESVILLE, O. Gunderson at
Stoughton and by o. G. Hanson and other
packers i'm Edgerton. The stemmed
goods that are booked find a market
abroad while the loose strips go to cut
ters of smoking tobacco and manufac
turers of the cheaper grades of cigars.
Altogether the business, while not one
productive of great profit, is worthy of
encouragement as an employer of labor
throughout the tobacco section.
