LANCASTER New ERA. Feb. &c. 1901.

There is little change to onote this week.
More cased goods were sold than during
the previous week. but the market was
far from active. The packers are still
trying to find out how cigar manufac-
turers contrive to make such an extraor-
binary amount OF cigars without going
into the market to buy corresponding
amount of tobacco In fact, it puzzles
everybody, but sooner or later it must
come to an end, one way or another
the following sales have been reported
to us: P. L. & j. K. Leaman sold 20cs;
Sissel & Kramer sold $50 and B. B. Lea
man & Son, of Lititz, sold SEC. and,
Smith & Sondheimer sold 200c5, in all $50
cases For the corresponding week of
last year tine sales were 501 cases.
We hear the trade in 1860 tobacco has
improved somewhat. More goods fare
selling but at lower prices. We were
shown goods today that were purchased
several cents below the recently prevail
ing rates which were quite as good as
those bought at higher prices of Novem-
Der and Decem Der. We incline to the
belief that this will be the outcome Of
the present deadlock. Most of the pack
ers really want to buy the tobacco but
they do hot believe it worth the price
asked at present, and they have, there
fore, taken little of it, and some of them
none. That, along with the condition of
many crops, has made them hold aloof
1t will be we'll for all parties to consider
the situation calmly from both sides of
the question and try to reach middle
course.

NUMBER I3.

it is definitely settled now that the war
tax of 60 cents will be taken off on July
l cigar factories will now be bombarded
with biggar orders than ever before. The
exclusively: the jobber did not pay the
advance. But the war revenue reduc
ton bill provides IA rebate of go cents on
all stocks of cigars in other than manu-
facturers' hands, and the iobber and re
taller will thus be enabled to make an
extra 60 cents on a thousand cigars,
This provision will undoubtedly prove
an incentive to "fill up" and manufac-
turers, who must anyhow be pretty nigh
denuded of stock, will have to hustle to
replenish it. That's the only consolation
in the dreary condition of today

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 1901.

The month which closes tomorrow will
GO down on the records as one of the
dullest in the history of the domestic leaf
market, and all dealers and packers will
be glad to tear another leaf from their
calendars. The closing week of the month
has been fully as quiet as the preceding
ones, hardly sale of any significance
having been made. Considerable inter-
est is being shown in Florida tobacco
just now.
The Sumatra wrappers of the 1900
crop, grown under shade, are being
placed on the market in small quantities
and some beautiful tobacco of this kind
is being shown. Nothing, in fact, more
closely resembling fine Sumatra has ever
been seen in this market. Of course the
growers have to figure in the cost of pro-
ducing it, and the selections bring stiff
price. Sample bales have been sold this
week as high as $3.50 per pound The
cheaper Florida tobacco, for filler pur-,
poses, is also occupying it's full share of,
attention in the market and firms carry
ing this line of goods report steady de,
mand.
A lot of 1899 Wisconsin, comprising
about 1400cs, export tobacco, changed
hands this week at about Sic. 1t is the
general impression that the dull period
cannot logically hold out much longer,
and the domestic leaf trade are looking
to a charge for the better next month.
If manufacturers who require good to-
baccos are holding back in hopes of see
ing lower prices, they will see the error
of their ways before long.
Sumatra.-Although some firms rero"f
very fair business during the week, III,
market generally has been quiet. The.
sample bale system continues prevalent.
Havana.-As one importer EXPRESSES
it, business is going by fits and STARTS
On the whole, the condition is fairly sat-
isfactory, and despite the reluctance to
pay high prices, sales for the week will
| aggregate about 800 bales. Leaf

Cohnecticut Valley Tobacco Market.


It is not be expected that the bulk of
the seed leaf tobacco now held can ros
main without buyers. AS it is, the grow
sers are asserting and packing their crops
and getting them ready for sale. There
are many good crops of Havana leaf
which if not yet ready for packing should
be now attended to. Those holding to-
bacco suitable for binders must feel as
sured of realizing good price, as the
market will be destitute of sufficient
supply for our domestic cigars, on ac-
count OF the conditions of crops in Wis
consin, New York state and Pennsyl-
vania.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Wethersfield, Ct, Feb. %: There have
been no sales of tobacco in town thus
far this year, and but one buyer in town,
and he wanted to buy the poor trash
that we throw under the table. No one
sold to him, as they considered it worth
more to them as fertilizer than he would
pay. There will be no more tobacco
raised here than last year" In other
towns where seed leaf tobacco is grown
such as East Hartford, South Windsor
and that vicinity, few crops have been
bought, the dealers buying sparingly,
while other dealers have been looking
around, but not buying. Now the days
have heightened to an extent that
enables men to work to better advantage.
We hope that every holder Of bundled
tobacco will commence asserting at once
and have his crop eady for sale when
activity in the market comes, as come it
will. Ii the grower has no facilities for
the work, then employ some one who
has. Manage to be out from the pack
ers' grip Cullivator

LODI. WIS. March l. 1901.

A few buyers have been in town dur
ing the past week, and small number
of crops have been purchased. A few
crops purchased earlier in the season
have been refused by the buyer, because
the growers would not submit to a de-
duction of % per cent until the crops
had been put over the asserting tables
This seems to be an injustice to the
growers of this section, as there are few
crops damaged to the amount of % per
cent. Most crops delivered so far have
been submitted to the docking process,
but the growers have in nearly every
case gracefully taken their medicine
Enterprise.

JANEsvILLE, WIS, March |. 1901.


A goodly number of buyers are riding
around, taking advantage of the recent
scare about 60 per cent of damaged to-
bacco and the lower prices in conse-
quence of said scare and contracts re-
jected by Sutter Bros With the major
ity of buyers there was no scare, and
they are buying more freely than for
some time past.
That there is some damaged tobacco
is true; that there is some very good to-
bacco is equally true The statement
that 60 per cent of the 1860 crop is dam
aged is untrue, and any person making
such statement is unacquainted with
the condition of the crop or purposely
misrepresents Perhaps 25 per cent of
the crop is damaged, but not more than
that.-Farm and Home.

In our strolls for tobacco news we

praying loudly for rain, without WHICH
operations must soon cease in all ware
houses. A large amount of the new crop
still hangs in the shed where it must re-
main until case weather sets in. A few
crops are being delivered but the trans
actions are few. j. d. Devoll sold 1l0cs
