MIAM1sBURG, O., May %, 1902.

Very few sales of new tobacco are re-
ported from this locality. A large guam
tity was bought last week in the upper
edge of Montgomery and in Mama and
Darke counties at 5 to 7c for seedleaf
and to Sc for thinner While these
prices are several cents per pound less
than those obtained for the same varie-
ties here it is claimed that the quality
of goods there is relatively below the we'll
known standard here. Some few sales
of old thinner are reported from nearby,
points at prices ranging form and &c to
s and &c through.
Nearly everyone reports an abundance
of young plants, with portion some
what more forward than desired, though
several farmers say their plants are late
and scarce. Some of the early plants
will soon be set out to feed the cut
worms, while more fortunate and pains
taking farmers will not begin transplant
ing for several weeks yet.-News,

New YORK, May q, 1902.

Nothing has occurred this week to re-
lieve the monotonous inactivity which
has prevailed in domestic leaf circles for
some time past. A canvass of the trade
elected nothing but expressions of dis
satisfaction, and all handlers of domestic
leaf, from the large packers down, are
complaining. By referring to the 1901
files of the Tobacco Leaf it will be seen
that just such slump visited the mar
ket last year. Business was quiet all
through the spring, and nothing like ac-
tivity was seen until the 1st of June,
when trading in Seed leaf started in with
considerable vigor. It is quite likely that
the end of this month will mark change
for the better.
Sumatra.-The demand for sample
bales continues, and some outright sales
are being made, but there is no spirit in
the market. Manufacturers who have
worked up the new Sumatra report in

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The work of transplanting tobacco
plants has commenced in number of
towns. Quite number of our larger
growers find it necessary, and so take
much pains to have plants early enough
for transplanting as early as possible;
and to do this use steam heat. Hinsdale
Smith Sons, who are to set 100 acres, be-
gan May H. and must continue the work
probably into June. This helps in the
harvesting, as it ripens nearly in the or
der of planting. The Messrs. Smith are
busy preparing the frame for the %
acres of shade growing. At Poquonock,
CT, several parties commenced setting
May II, and many others intended to
commence about the 18th, and this is
true of many of the leading growers of
the valley.
The weather has been rather cool and
the soil dry. A large percentage of the
growers have their lands ready for trans
planting, and will commence as soon as
the plants are of suitable size. Very
many growers like to have plants attain
larger growth before setting than for
merly, as there seems to be more vitality
to the plant and such are apt to grow
stronger plants Our farmers are many
of them short of help and can't get what
they want.

NEW YORK, May "a, 1902.

! Some animation was impaired to the
| market by number of out-of- town par
ties, who are visitors in the market in
| quest of some supply. Most of the stock
| that these parties are searching for is
either not to be had, or is to be found
| only in such limited quantities and at
such figures as to stun them from grab
bing at it. Old domestic wrapper leaf is
out of stock and the nature of last years
Connecticut was prohitive to resweat it
in bulk. Cheap binder leaf is also an
article of the past and seasoned filler leaf
commands an adequate advance in price,
A few packers are still holding on to
some choice lots of 1901 Wisconsin, but
these will have to bring the price, or they
will be taken over into next years inven-
tory at an advanced figure. For the
prospects of cheap binder leaf next year
are Just as dire as the present scarcity.
In view of this indisputable condition
thousand boxes of 1901 Wisconsin were
disposed of at pretty near the figures the
U. S. Tobacco Journal foretold it would
fetch about this season. The scarcity of
domestic wrapper leaf drives the buyers
into the Sumatra and Florida markets.
The Florida, if it is thoroughly cured, of
even colors and fawless burn, finds ready
takers, particularly to help out the
shortage of Havana wrapper leaf. And
for that purpose commensurate price
is being paid for it. But the Sumatra is
again the popular mainstay of the wrap
per needs OF the cigar industry, and it is
being freely bought. The new importa-
tions share in the demand on account of
their lower price, while preference is
given to the old stock when a better
quality leaf or more even color is re-
quired. Sales for the week aggregate
800 bales.
The Havana market seems to be inn
proving likewise. 1t is being generally
recognized that the new crop is very
short one and it's quality not up to last
years either. Manufacturers are there
fore casting their anchors to the wind
ward and are again gradually laying in a
supply. How pinched the Havana mar
ket is in Cuba is faithfully and graphic
ally portrayed by our correspondent in
his letter published elsewhere.-Jo

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, May 30, 1902


The buying movement is Stacking up
since the farmers have become so busy
with crowding work that they have lit
tie time for talking. Some riding, how
ever is still being done though the vol
ume of sales have fallen off greatly,
though the trading is done at former
quotations, ranging about the cent
mark for the wrapper and binder grades.
Old leaf is moving only moderately. Geo.
Rumrill reports the sale of several good
sized lots of 1900 of late. Word comes
from New York that 10OOcs lot of the
Culton packing of 1900 has been dis
posed Of
The plant beds have been coming for
ward very rapidly of late, SO fast in fact
that the work of preparing the fields is
now crowding the growers. A good many
plants are now large enough for trans
planting and in few cases the planting
of the crop has commenced, though the
date is week Or ten days earlier than
most growers care to start this work
Some complaints of damages to plant
beds by feas or bugs have reached US
but as general proposition an abun
dance. of plants for all intended acreage
is promised.
The shipments out of storage amount
to 5O0cs, 10 car loads, for the week past
to all points from this market. Since
last report lS35cs of cigar leaf were ex
ported from New York.

LANCASTER New ERA, May 20, 1902.
The tobacco trade has always been
noted for its Irregularities It has boom
period followed by, periods of cores
ponding dullness That appears to be
the case now. For some weeks past the
activity has been much beyond the aver
age, and as many sales were crowded in
to three weeks as the preceding three.
months had to show. Now, however. the
market appears to have relapsed into it's
previous condition of inactivity and only
few small lots have been taken by the
manufacturing trade. We trust this
spell of dullness will wake up again after
short resting spell.
There is still some hunting after last
years crop, but from the fast buying of
the past three months we infer the uuan-
tity left unsold cannot be very much.
Last fall buyers were afraid to touch it.
Many declared they could not be induced
to do SO because it was not desirable
crop and went into the sheds in an un-
desirable condition. These same men
have come in on the home stretch and
bought such goods as they could get.
The fact that good deal of the crop has
already been sold by the packers is one
of the most gratifying features about it.

Havana.-There is a decided lack of
animation on the part of buyers, and
business is tagging. Old Vueltas are
mostly inquired for, but in the majority
of cases the negotiations are continued
no further than the statement of the

and these are only effected after much
dickering.-Leaf.

irrigation improvements and also the
provisions leaving the control of the
distribution of water to the different
states and territories. A pro-
vision inserted is to the effect that the
land benefited by any irrigation enter
prise shall be assessed according to the
benefits. This takes the place of the
original provision for arbitrary as
sessrnent of SIS per acre Another new
provision is that the usual Communication
