EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Feb. %, 1902.

In this immediate vicinity the condi-
tions remain about the same. as regards
the buying OF the 1901 crop. In some
other parts of the state there is slightly
increased activity. Local buyers still
maintain they cannot afford to pay the
prices asked for the cheaper grades re
naming in the hands of farmers. They
claim that most Of the tobacco grown in
this vicinity must be bought at price
that will permit of it's being sold for ex-
port, or at export prices.
The first rain of the year began falling
early yesterday morning and continued
all day. Should it continue through to-
day, it will bring what tobacco is hang
ing in good case.
In old goods conditions remain about
as inactiye as in former weeks. A. N
Jones sold 200 cases of 1900 to eastern
buyers The rest of the business is made
up of small lots sold to manufacturers

several hundred cases of these goodssat
an advance of half a cent, and the offer
was refused. Something over twelve
hundred cases have changed hands since
our last report.
Sumatra.- Sumatra market is in
state of legarthy, and February will
have to 60 down on the records as very
unsatisfactory month. Notwithstanding
the happy predictions of the optimists,
there is certainly too much tobacco in
the market to permit of active trading.
Returning salesmen declare that nobody
seems to be in the market for goods, and
profitable sales are effected with extreme
difficulty. Considerable business will
have to be done in March and April in
order to offset the dullness which has
characterized the market since the last
of January.
Havana.-Despite the unmistakable
reports of short 1901 crop, business in
Havana leaf circles continues to lag.
Perhaps the unsettled state of the tariff
questions has something to do with this,
but manufacturers could hardly be justi-
fed in presuming that by holding off
they can get leaf cheaper as a result of
any change in duty Importers, however
by all the rules of logic, are acting with
wisdom in holding firmly to present
prices on all serviceable goods. Reported
sales for the week are few in number and
of moderate size.-,Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,
EDGERToN. Wis. March Z. 1902.

The movement in last seasons crop,
induced by the more moderate sales of
medium priced goods, is gaining some
headway in many of the growing sec
tions. There seems to be disposition
among growers to grant some conces-
sions in price which is leading to more
activity among the buyers. The week
has witnessed the lifting of quite guam
tity of the medium quality goods and
the movement bids fair to increase un-
der these conditions.
Sales coming to. notice since last re-
port are:
Ole Berg, Aga at 9&2c.
A. K. Trastem, 5a at SAFE.
Dodge & Stephenson, Ia at 7115&2c.
D. Kilday, Ia at 71a&2c.

The most important sale of old leaf
for some time is the reported purchase
by the American Cigar Co. of 3063 cases
of tops from F. S. Baines' 1900 packing.
L. B. Carle & Son have sold 200 cases of
1900 binders.
The deliveries of the recent purchases
have been coming to the warehouse quite
literally of late, putting to work more
help than heretofore employed. Casing
weather during the week has given the
growers opportunity to remove the bal
ance of the hanging tobacco and com
plete the stripping Of the season.
The shipments out of storage reach a
total of 8 car loads, 402 cases, from this
market to all points for the week past.
| Since last report 275 casos of cigar leaf
| were exported from New York.

LANCASTER New ERA. Feb 25, 1902,

LANCASTER New ERA. Feb. Is, 1902,
The past week brought us some of the
worst weather that has visited US for
years. Shows almost every day or night,
pouring raing, sleet and freezings made
up week of very poor tobacco weather
from the packers standpoint. Few
strangers came along, and the to .ceo
buyers among them were scarce. The
result is the only sales that have been
reported to us were 423 cases by M. Nj.
Fry and 65 cases by Walter S. Bare. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were $50 cases.
The same causes that kept wholesale
buyers away during the week likewise
operated in preventing the usual driving
over the country on the part of packers
and their agents. The country roads
were almost impossible, and chat, with.
the otherwise inclement weather, result
ed in little buying of the new crop. The
little that remained unstripped will now
be prepared for the market, and betWeen
now and April the greater portion Of
what still remains in growers hands Will
probably find purchasers.
We have long lists of sales at hand, of
which, however, our space will allow us
to print only portion:

According to the annual report of the
Secretary of Agriculture, just received,
the recommendations of the Department
have been followed in the methods of
curing tobacco in Pennsylvania, with the
result of effecting saving from the raw
ages of the black-rot exceeding half a
million dollars. Urgent demands for as
sistance in the tobacco industry have
reached the Department from New York,
Wisconsin, Texas and Florida. Wlscon-
sin and Texas, in all probability, will be
the next tobacco states to benefit from
investigation by the Department.

New York.
NEW YORK, March l, 1902.

Trading in the market continues in a
rather quiet way. Transactions are linn
tied to small quantities, but they are
steady and kept the Office forces busy
though the bosses growl and swear they
never saw such dull times. Nevertheless,
the stock is disappearing and it is diff
cult to duplicate certain types. There
is, in fact dearth in all kinds of old
leaf, and even the stock of 1900 crops is
wasting away. But one of the most re-
markable features of the market seems
to be the demand for Porto Rican leaf for
re-export to Porto Rico. But this fea-
ture again confirms the prediction of the
u. S. Tobacco Journal some weeks ago
contained in our observations, that if
the brisk demand for Porto Recan made
cigars should hold out, the stock of Por-
to Recan tobacco in our market would
have to be reshipped. This forecast
seems to have actually materialized now
The sales of domestic leaf during the
week aggregated about 1000 boxes
The market in Sumatra leaf is sus-
tanned by a steady demand for small lots,
which enter into immediate consump-
ton. The market in Havana leaf, how
ever, seems to be very slack here, while
it appears to be rather brisk in the city of
Havana. American buyers from all over
the country are just now croWding the
island and the supply they are laying in
there is naturally lost to our market

VIRoQUA, Wis, Feb. 26, 1902.

There is little to report in tobacco af-
fairs. Many farmers are waiting patient
ly for case weather, so the balance of to-
bacco remaining on the poles can be
taken down and marketed. There is
some attempt at buying that unsold.
The Helgeson and Espeseth warehouses
are practically closed till the balance of
their purchases can be delivered. Two
Westby warehouses are in the same con-
dition, while other warehouses are work
ing full crews in both towns, and still
have months work ahead.
Martin Bekkedal of Westby purchased
the largest acreage crop grown in the
county, that of Ole P. Gauplin's, near
Bloomingdale. 1t consisted of 25 acres,
and sold for nine cents straight. Has
not yet been delivered.-Censor.

There has been no stir in the local
market during the past week The con
tiued bad condition of the roads is prob
ably responsible in large measure for
the lack of sales, as it is impossible to do
much riding. S. D. Green, representing
the firm of j. Bunzl & Sons of New York,
is in town and has examined few crops.
Chas r. Goldsmith, of the firm of Chas.
r. Goldsmith & Co. OF New York, ar
rived in town this morning and is regis
tered at the Seneca House. The assert
ing continues in the warehouses where
tobacco is being handled although only
a small amount of tobacco has been de-
livered during the week. Better roads
will undoubtedly bring more active
market Gazette.
