The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1901-05-10
NEW YORK, MAY l, 1901.

1t is generally believed that this month
will see the finish of the long period of
dullness which has menaced the domestic
leaf market. A few fairly good deals
which were put through this week create
hopes that the beginning of the end is in
sight. The inquiry for old filters and old
binders appears to be strengthening.
Havana.-W very few exceptions
local Havana houses have experienced
quiet week. One lot consisting of 125
bales was sold this week for 27 cents.
In the line of real serviceable tobaccos
the market is by no means overstocked,
and holders of such goods are resting
comfortably and selling strictly at their
own terms. They look forward to sue
cessful close of this years trading as a
logical result of the present condition of
stocks.
Sumatra. There is no particular
change to report in the condition of this
market. Judging from arrivals to date,
the new tobaccos are going to give salts
faction, while there are also plenty of
serviceable lots from the old crop to be
had. The only unsatisfactory feature is
the possibility of an unprecedented over
stocking. Importers should remember
that the very fact of the new goods being
an enormous yielder is conducive to this
undesirable end; and unless they guard
it, the solidity of prices will be jeapord-
lied, no matter how fine the quality OF
their purchases may be.-Leaf

LANCASTER New ERA, Apr. 80 l901.
The past week presented quite con-
trast to the condition of the market
which prevailed the week before; the
then dullness has been succeeded by
considerable activity, which leads to the
reasonable hope that the long-continued
dullness may be reaching its close, and
that the better days, SO long expected :
may be near at hand, if not actually
here. The sales reported to us are 626"
cases, sold by Ell. @. Shock & Co., of
Mount Joy, to New York purchaser; 50
cases sold by Walter S. Bare, and $50
cases sold by [. H. Weaver John F..
Brimmer has bought much tobacco dur,
ing the past two weeks, about 2400 cases.
The amount to be credited to the past;
week is about 1000 cases. For the cor
responding week of last year the sales
were 455 cases.
Buyers have been pretty hard at work
picking up the unbought 1900 crop, and
got away with good deal of it. Peter

Packings of new tobacco are receiving
some attention from prospective buyers,
even before it has passed the curing
stage and some large trades are under
consideration. Old stock of all descrip-
tions are in good demand, but transac-
tions are limited owing to the scarcity of
desirable goods to be offered.
Warehouse work at the packing points
is making slow progress owing to the
scarcity of help and several firms will be
handling bundle leaf we'll into the sum-
mer.

ditions. The young plants have ap-
peared in most cases and are in abun-
dance.

the habit of buying a hundred or two
hundred case lot have been buying of
late only one quarter at time, but the
frequency of their buying has outstrip-
ped their former purchases. The much
wonted dullness of the market is there
fore more imaginary than real. But it
is hard on the market reports, as the
big houses that used to tell freely of
their big sales are somewhat shame-fac-
ed to count up the small sales, although
they net in the aggregate much larger
volume. All types of leaf, both domestic
and imported, are selling at fairly good
prices, because manufacturers are in ur-
gent and immediate need of them, only
they are being sold in smaller quantities
but at more frequent intervals. And it
is hard, if not impossible, to keep a
record of these sales.-Journal.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

At length the sun has made it's ap-
pearance, of the longest continued spell
OF cloudy, rainy weather we have ever
known in the month of April. A rain
| fall OF nearly seven inches beats the
record Tor over fifty years, and as to-
bacco plants need sunshine and warmth
te enable them to grow, SO the wet, cold
and sour weather has been against them.
The plant bed needs the fostering care
OF the grower to induce an early and
continuous growth, or late setting will
be the result.
From number Of towns we have re-
ports OF the building of many new cur
ing barns. This is so general all along
the line that we can but be satisfied that
a considerably increased acreage will be
planted Conway, April 27: "The young
tobacco plants are up in beds covered
with cloth and glass. The recent heavy
rains have retarded work on the land.
Farmers will be rushed as soon as the
land can be worked" WILLIAMSBURG.
April %: "The cold, wet month makes
our work all come in a bunch, yet [
think that there will be small increase
in acreage. The old crops are all picked
up but one, and that is packed" Am
herst: ''In an interview with prominent
gentleman from this town he said that
practically the old crops were all sold,
and that larger acreage would be set
this year, and some building would be
necessary" Ware House Point: "There
is unusual interest manifested in the
care of the tobacco beds, and large
quantity of glass and cloth is put in
requisition for fastening the growth of
plants. Several new large curing barns
have been erected or are in progress.
The season is late, and long hours each
day must be the rule" Montague, Mass:
There will be a small increase in the
tobacco crop this year. The old crops
ire all picked up Northampton: "The
parties that are to try the growing of
Iimmer's Spanish on their heavy
meadow soil report the plants up, with
our or five leaves. "-Cultivator.
