NEW YORK, Sept. II, 1902.

Most of the visiting buyers have left
town, and the September rush seems to
be about over. Merchants who go by
contrasts are inclined to complain little
this week, but as matter of fact the
market is in satisfactory condition.
This will be even more noticeable when
the new Wisconsin is all sampled and
ready to offer. From Wisconsin word
comes that the frost which visited that
State last week did no damage except in
the northern tobacco sections, and there
the loss was slight.
Observation-Disclosures continues slow.
Havana.-There are indications of
slight stiffening in prices, despite the
fact that some isolated sales nave been
put through at seemingly low figures.
The trade should remember that all to-
baccos classed as second capaduras are
not necessarily of equal quality and quo
tations heard in the street should not
always be accepted as market values. A
number of sales of high class tobaccos,
ranging in lots from 25 to 100 bales, are
reported this week.-Leaf

And they sell with and without string.
But the greater demand is for binder
leaf, and the prediction of the U. S. To
bacco Journal made year ago that 1900
Wisconsin would fetch 20 cents and 90
cents is now being literally verified.
In the meantime Sumatra is protiting
most from our domestic wrapper troub-
les. 1t is beginning to sell again in lots
over five and ten bales, and if importers
are willing to make sacrifices as to price
and terms, hundred bale lots would be
again no novelty. Last years crop seems
to give thorough satisfaction as to yield
and colors.
The Havana market here remains for
the present stationary. In the city of
Havana the market seems to be booming

Havana correspondent

The buying of the new crop is the ab-
sorbing topic of the, tobacco growing
section and the movement has assumed
good deal of headway. The crop is be-
ing sold SO rapidly that it is difficult. to
estimate what proportion of it has
already been contracted for. In the
opinion of some dealers half the crop has
gone from first hands. Possibly this is
too large an estimate, but the sales the
past two weeks reach several thousand
acres. Prices do not change much from
the earlier quotations, s cents being the
most usual figure paid. The following
sales have come to notice:

The damp weather of the week has
given the buyers ample opportunity to
examine the crop in the sheds as most of
the early harvested portion is cured out,
excepting the stems. The curing so far
is perfectly satisfactory, the leaf being
thin and light colored.
The market for old stock presents no
new features, only moderate trade be-
ing INDUCED in. There is considerable
sampling of the 1901 packings, but no
sales are reported.
The shipments out of storage have de-
clined to about 400cs for the week past
from this market to all points. Since
last report 1lS0cs of cigar leaf were ex-
ported from New York.

LANCASTER New ERA, Sept. Is, 1902.


There is good deal of activity in the
local trade, even though the sum total
does not run into large figures In fact,
the sale Of half a dozen small lots puts
much more life into the business than
the sale of double the quantityif it is all
disposed of in one lot. In the one case
half dozen men are made happy, while
| in the other only one person, in which
case all the rest grumble
The sales that have come to our notice
are the following: David Musselman sold
16Qcs to A. G. Brosey; Hershey & Hoov-
er sold 460cs; B. E.. Good, sold 1OOcs and
bought SOcs, and [. Ell. Weaver sold LA
cases; in all, 9l4cs. For the correspond
ing week of last year 2,774cs were sold.
The excitement over the buying of the
new crop continues even to greater ex-
tent than week ago. The same parties
who we're then mentioned as being ac-
lively at work continued their operations.
during the week, and added several hun
dred additional acres to their former
purchases.
| The weather still continues cool, the
thermometer having fallen under fifty
during the past two nights. This is bad
for the crop still out, as tobacco will
neither grow nor ripen we'll under such
conditions. A several days trip through
the county from west to east and south
ward, of more than fifty miles, demon
strated the fact that fully one-half of
the crop is still standing in the fields. A
few hot days will ripen many of them,
but some are too backward to make good
tobacco.
There is also danger that the threat
ened frosts may induce some to cut their
tobacco before it was fully ripe, which
also means poor tobacco What is need
ed is several weeks of warm weather.

ing sales by our Conestoga Centre cor

NEW IOhh, OopI. ~, ISUA.
The market is weathering troublous
sea. OF course, everybody's packing of
last years crops was the cleanest, sound
est and most perfect imaginable; but,
anyhow, the cussed buyers who crowded
our market during the latter part of last
and the first week of this month and
who took the word and assurances of the
packers as to the "soundness and clean
ness of their packings are reported to
be getting rather ugly in their COM
plants and kicks about the goods pur-
chased and in their demands for allow
ances for-we dare not pronounce that
accommodated term lest we be excom-
municated ourselves, as at least dozen
of our most reputable merchants, whose
word is as good as their bond, have as
sured US that they had never packed
any sounder and cleaner goods than
from last years crops! All these troub-
les, however, do not impair the selling
power of the market. Connecticut broad
leaf had its innings the past week, and is
selling at from 80 cents to 30 CENTS run
ming. Several lots of wrappers sold at
so cents, while seconds bring quarter.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Thus far the weather has been very
favorab ble for the curing Of the 1902 crop
of tobacco, and all of the earliest har-
vested has passed the stage of pole
sweat, and probably only the portion cut
since Aug. % is in any danger from that
cause. Quite number of buyers have
been looking over the ground with a view
of buying, but very few of our growers
care to make any bargains without the
payment of good round sum as for
felt, and a writing binding the packer as
we'll as the seller, while very many don't
care to make any bargains until the leaf
is cured and ready for delivery. The
bitter experiences of a few of the last
years is we'll fixed in their memories.
The burned child looks out carefully for
the fire. So far as the leaf is cured, it
shows all the elements of tirst-class
crop, and the growers are looking for
really remunerative crop this year. Frost
has held off remarkably. The slight
white frost of the 7th inst. was only seen
in low places, and little. if any, damage
resulted from it so far as | can learn,
and now the crop is all housed and safe
Our correspondents write as follows:
North Hadley, Sept 10: Tobacco is
mostly housed, and cleaner, sounder
and better crop was never put into the
sheds in all my experience. The early
cut is pretty well cured. So you can
Judge of it's quality. 1t is fine and nice.
The color is decidedly light. No buyers
have shown up 1t isn't likely that
pound will be sold until it is in the bun

and not a tieup, and have money enough
down to guarantee the SALE Weathers-
field, Sept. 10th: "Very little tobacco left
to be cut here. 1t is the finest, largest
and soundest crop harvested for years.
1t is well supplied with gum, SO good

VIRoQUA, WIS, Sept. Is, 1902.

The few foreign buyers who have been
riding in the tobacco sections of the
county have practically withdrawn, and
we are advised that the local handlers
are making no effort to do business on
the new crop. Why this is SO we know
not. Buyers say farmers will be obliged
to "come off their high horse prices.
Whether or not those buyers who have
been operating here have paid more than
the market and conditions warrant, we
have no knowledge. OF one thing there
seems no doubt, that there will be plenty
of demand for every pound of good to-
