Little Iull In Tobacco.

There is nothing especially new in
tobacco matters to report this week
There has been no big rush in deliveries
and everything is moving gradually.
There is some riding throughout the
country districts py local buyers and
very little of last years crop remains un-
sold. 1t is disappointment TO farmers
that sufficient case weather has not come
to the valley sections to admit of the
removal of their crops. This is unfortu-
nate for growers and buyers. 1t will
make a late date when the tobacco can
be delivered.
The probabilities are that the work in
at least two of the local warehouses will
be practically completed within week,
making the packing season short one
John Norris made big delivery TO
the American people, his crop from 103
acres. which yielded him 81. 1875. Mr.
Norris is getting material on the ground
for the addition to his shed room of 60
feet. At present he has 1876 feet long
by 80 wide, but he is like majority of
farmers, must increase hi acreage.
Mr.. A NJ. Arntsen was caller from
Rockton. In company with another
young man Mr. Arntsen worked twenty
acres of tobacco at Hub City, in Rich
land county, last season. 1t was prac-
tically an experiment for that section,
and farmers are SC favorably impressed
with the result that many will engage
in the industry ii coming season. The
financial returns were so satisfactory
that Mr.. Arntsen and his partner will
cultivate forty acres this year.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter thinks
farmers in southern Wisconsin will sort
and case a good portion of their crops.
It saws there is limited amount of the
new crop moving in most of the grow
ing sections but it il small compared
with the amount of riding being done by
buyers Some buyers claim they never
before have driven so many miles, look
ed at 80 much tobacco and purchased so
little as is the experience of the present
season. The aim SO far is to secure the
best selections, and the prices quoted
heretofore were for the picked lots. The
desirable crops are becoming more scarce
and growers are demanding the same
prices as the choice lots sold for hence
transactions are ~ no means plenty.
