In the meanwhile they are injuring the

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Everything remains extremely quiet,
as only few sales of tobacco come to
knowledge. We hear of quite number
OF new curing barns that are to be built
the coming season. This is very proper
thing to do, as many farmers are inclined
to crowd in the plants so thick that the
result is loss of many dollars worth Of
good leaf by pole sweat. 1t is very evi-
dent that they should cut down the
acreage or else build sufficiently large
barns to property hang their crop. We
have heard OF many instances when the
loss exceeded $3.50 for the year Such
condition is far from being an evidence
OF business prudence. If the grower
hasn't room TO safely house the crop
only by excessive crowding, he had bet
ter plow it in than submit to such loss
On the other hand the building of new
curing barns tends to show an increase
in the acreage to he planted the coming
season. The conditions of Il ie market
are such as to induce such action. The
prices paid for force-swea wrappers is
from "a to 81 cents per pound, with per-
haps higher figurs, as many of the sales
are on private terms. There is a quiet
demand for all in the market, and a
large portion of the crop will be sold be-
fore July. But it is all important that
the leaf should be grown on the right
kind of soil to produce a light-colored
leaf. Then it is housed and should be
given every possible attention. Trusting
to luck often results in loss. So don't
try to do two days work in one, and let
your tobacco spoil. Cultivator.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

Nothing has occurred in years that
has caused so much comment and dis
cussion throughout the tobacco sections
of the state as the report spread last
week that the firm of Sutter Bros. had
decided to close up their packing houses
in Wisconsin repudiate their undelivered
contracts for the 1900 crop. Were it not
for the fact that this firm are the largest
handlers of cigar leaf in the country,
this action might not have attracted so
much attention. for, as we are informed,
their original contracts placed several
months ago, called for only about 5000
cases and not far from 1900 cases has al
ready been received and packed. In
which event the turning down of con-
tracts for 35O0cs was not matter of so
large moment after ALL If the firm
believed their investments in our tobac-
co at the prices agreed upon poor one
and could get away from their contracts
with growers without taking the goods
it was their own business, and matter
we do not care to discuss here. But the
reason assigned for the reputation OF
these contracts and the prominence that
has been given them in the daily papers
deserves more than passing notice.

While the local market is quiet, there
has nevertheless been an Improvement
over the conditions Of last week. The
prevailing condition is of course very un-
satisfactory, and no one pretends to un-
derstand it. The market elsewhere is
just as dull. All this, however, does not
in our view afford cause for apprehen-
sion. The fact remains that the current
year will be by far the largest cigar pro-
ducing one this country has ever seen.
and there are no indications anywhere of
any abatement. Now, manufacturers,
cannot make cigars without tobacco, at
least not to any considerable extent, con-.
sequently they must go into the market.

follow the sensational reports, which the
daily press have spread, concerning the
tobacco crop of this state. Aside from
the "black eye" given the crop, which is
a matter always to be avoided when
possible, other unnecessary conditions
are liable to be entailed. Financial in
stitutions are easily alarmed, and it is
not at all improbable that packers will
find their line of credits curtailed in
many instances, and may be unable to
secure capital to carry out contracts al
ready made. Distrust having once
started the next we hear is that insur-
ance companies have begun to scrutinize
their tobacco risks and possiblycut down
their lines, leaving the packers without
their usual protection. The Sunday In
ter Ocean contained this paragraph:
Underwriters have been receiving reports
from special agents that the Wisconsin tobac-
co crop has been a disappointment, and that
many OF the warehouses are being closed in
consequence. Under similar circumstances
several years ago the moral hazard on such
risks was greatly increased, there being num-
Der OF suspicious fires soon after. Ii the re
ports should be confirmed. there will be a
number of cancellations on such risks.
All this follows naturally in the train
when you commence to preach the gos-
pei of distrust and suspicion. How
much easier it is to set prairie fire
than stop one?

The Sutter firm with 5000 case con-
tracts were by no means the only large
purchasers of the Wisconsin 1900 crop.
At least four, other firms have bought
more extensively of the crop, two at
least double the amount, and none of
them have showed any disposition to
throw up their contracts in a wholesale
manner with the growers, while several
are continually adding to their holdings
Crops rejected by the Sutter firm have
been promptly taken by other buyers at
the former contract price. An instance is
told where five buyers were at the home
of farmer in single day after his crop
had been rejected. All this goes to
show that the Chicago firms .opinion of
the crop Is not shared in by other deal
ers to the extent that they are willing to
repudiate contracts that involve a bust
ness reputation.
