are we'll founded. No sales of old goods
were reported this week from any source.
Since the foregoing was written we
have been advised that Mr.. A. B. Croft,
of New Holland, sold his 1900 packing of
5O0cs to NJ. Rosenthal & Co.
The dullness in old goods, of course,
tends to turn the attention of the trade
to the last years crop. A great deal has
been received at the warehouses, where
the asserting and packing is now going
on. This tends to give the packing
houses their usual air of busy activity at
this season of the year. Those who pro-
pose to employ bulk sweating are already
at that work. The experience of last
year was so satisfactory that it is unlike
ly that anyone who practiced it last year
will ever go back to the old method. To
sweat 500 or 1000 cases without expert
encing any loss is something SO satisfac
tory that when once the method has
been adopted no one is likely to give it
up.
Buying of the new crop is not so ac-
tive as some time ago, but we under
stand good many citypackers are again
in the field, and doubtless there will be
a good deal of trading between now and
April l, if the prices asked are reason
able. Every dealer says the price of
goods is too nigh.

New YORK. March -. 1902.

The retailers and small dealers seem
to be getting the best end of the business
just now, but no one is doing anything
to boast of. From present appearances
March will be the poorest month that
the domestic leaf trade has seen for
many day. Not one of the larger
houses is doing even fair business, if
reports and general appearance count
for anything. The few sales reported
are hardly worth recording.
Sumatra.-The above, with little, if
any, modification, will cover the situa-
tion in this branch. Perhaps importers
have forced buyers to stock up more
heavily than necessary, or it may be that
preaching inscriptions have in store
causes prospective purchasers to hold off.
At any rate, deals are put through with
difficulty, are few in number, and of
small proportions.
Havana.-There have been no new de-
velopements in the Havana market for
several weeks. While importers are not
sitting on their tobacco, they decline to
make the slightest concessions. Their
position is justified, however, and taking
the average asking price as basis, the
figure is none too high. Manufacturers
who are holding out for the sake of
few cents per pound will have to pay the
price before the summer is over. A few
small sales Of 1901 Partido are reported
at private terms, and about 100 bales of
1900 Remedies, first and second capa-
duras. at 81 cents, in bond.-Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, March q, 1902.
The buying movement is gaining some
headway but the bulk of the transac-
tions are for the cheaper grades of the
crop that can be secured at around 6
cent mark. Buyers are riding the grow
ing districts quite freely of late and clos
ing what contracts that can be made at
about the figures indicated. 1t appears
there are plenty of growers who still
have their tobacco in bundle that are
willing to accept the terms. The follow
ing sales show the trend of the business:

The condition of the cured leaf market
remains unchanged with only moder-
ate business in small lots. L. B. Carle &
Son report the sale of a 125cs lot of 1900
to S. L. Johns, and Geo. Rumrill 12Ocs
for the week past.
The shipments out of storage reach Ia
car loads, 667 cases, to all points from
this market for the week past. Since
last report 450 cases of cigar leaf were
exported from New York.

New York.
New YORK, March Is, 1902.


Activity in the leaf market this week
was conspicuous mainly by its absence.
The lack of old goods and the scarcity Of
the new account to a considerable ex-
tent for the lightness Of trade in domes-
tic leaf. for there has been considerable
inquiry for that article, principally in
Connecticut and Pennsylvania broadleaf,
and other Eastern tobacco. It may be
said also that the dullness is not all oc-
casioned by the lack of buyers; for hold
ers of good leaf are unanimous in the
opinion that the known shortage in al
most every crop will result in higher
prices and they therefore are not over
anxious to dispose Of their crops. No
one believes that the manufacture of
cigars in this country will not exceed
even the enormous output of last year,
and as the visible supply of tobacco of
all kinds is far from excessive, their po-
sition certainly seems tenable. In Ha-
vana there was practically the same con-
dition as has applied to Sumatra for sew
eral months past and still continues,
which is that purchases are limited to
actual and Immediate needs. Unlike
Sumatra, however, the business in which
seems to have settled into the above
habit, the Havana situation will proba-
bly, improve as soon as definite action
has been taken with regard to Cuban re-
ciprocity. AS that action in the nature
of things must be decided in the near
future, the comparative dullness in Ha-
vana bids fair to Danish at an early date.

In order to properly meet the numer-
Gus inquiries constantly coming to it in
regard to the culture and curing of to-
bacco and the resources of Northern
Wisconsin, the state board of agriculture
is having printed 500 copies of two ad-
dresses given on these subjects at the
recent mass meeting of agriculturists at
Madison. The one on the culture and
curing of tobacco was written and deliv-
cred by A. l.. Fisher of GAINESVILLE, and
that on the resources of Northern Wis
consin by L. K. Wright of .Wausau, sec
retary of the Marathon County Agricul-

board of agriculture says, will prove of
great value to persons interested.

1t is quite evident that prices are i'm
proving, and fully as evident that they
are yet far too low. No one is foolish
enough to believe that when the packers
started out to buy the 1901 crop of to-
bacco but what they knew the condition
of the leaf market, as we'll as the largely
increased output of cigars; that the mar
ket was practically bare of stock, and
when they rushed around bargaining for
good crops at from Is to 20 cents they
knew just what they were doing.
