Buyers are still riding and picking up
the remaining crops in this section. But
few were able to take down any of the
hanging crop as the recent rain was too
cold for casing weather and the tobacco
must hang until another rain or damp
spell arrives, therefore warehouses will
not open up for business for time yet.

Domestic leaf circles have been undis-
turbed by anything in the shape of big
sales during the past week. There is
fair demand for old filters, but these
goods, like other kinds of domestic leaf,
are moving slowly, despite of inquiry.
Sumatra.-This market was given a
little boost by the consummation of one

more secure with every passing week.
In two or three instances during the
past week importers have actually de-

deals have been put through during the
week at good prices.-Leaf.

EVANSVILLE, WIS, Dec. 10, 1902. !


The cold weather of late has put a
quietus on riding for tobacco and but
very little buying has been done in this
section. The weather moderated this
morning and few buyers started out
again. The air today is full of moisture
but it is too cold for the hanging .obac-
CO to case up much. 1t would take but
little damp weather to case up the hang
ing tobacco, and the farmers and dealers
are very anxious for that little moisture.
In old goods there is but little change
S. B. Heddles has sold 177cs of 1900 and
1901, and f. S. Baines has purchased
67cs of 1901. The usual number of small

LANCASTER NEW Ezra, D6C. Il, lJUA
The home market recovered somewhat
from the slump that came over it a week
ago, and a fair volume of business was
done in home grown goods, although the
business was not very we'll distributed
through the trade. There is still a dis
inclination on the part of manufacturers
to take hold of the 1901 crop, and when
one does come along the price he offers
is almost enough to give the packer
chills and fever. The result is both par
ties are holding off, and the volume of
sales consists mostly of older goods.
The sales brought to our notice were 15O'
cases sold by I. Ell. Weaver; 25O cases of
1901 goods sold by Samuel Sissel, and
500 cases sold by Henry Well; in all,
900 cases.
The buying of this years tobacco still
continues. AS the amount unsold grows

that it will prove very useful CROP.

certainly are very attractive. Much of
it will make excellent wrappers for the

crop is rapidly finding new owners.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN. WIS.,. December II, 1902
Buyers are still riding the growing
districts Just enough to maintain mod
crate movement ins both new and cured
goods, that is all the time reducing the
amount of tobacco held by first hands.
Recent sales include some he ofore
held at outside figures, nlle the prices

tion over former quotations:
Sales coming to notice since last re-
port are:

Orvin Bros. 36cs at 815&2c.
Seth Pope, 14cs at 10&2c.
In old goods a trifile better feeling
pervades the market and packers are
disposing of more liberal sized orders.
Even the 1901 packings, which have been
dragging for some time, are beginning to
move. The most important transaction
of late is the reported sale of M. HI. Bek-
kedals large holding of 1901, the Sol
diers Grove packing going to the United
Cigar Manufacturers, the Boscobel pack
ing to A. Cohn & Co. and the Viroqua
packing to Reickert & LaBoule of Mil
waukee. More than 5000 cases were
embraced in the DEAL
Warehouse handling of the new crop
throughout the state is practically held
up awaiting casing weather. A few
hours of warm, moist weather would be
sufficient to permit the hanging crop to
be removed from the poles and stripping
would commence. The amount now
ready for delivery is not sufficient. to
warrant the starting up of the ware

The shipments out OF storage do not
exceed 4O0cs, 8 car loads, from this mar

exported from New York.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Sales come in slowly and oftentimes
with the mark of private terms. When
a larger price than the customary price
is paid, the packer insists on keeping
the price secret, and this enables him to
use the seller as his instrument to en-
able the packer to buy his neigh boris
leaf at a low price. We are sorry to see
one grower inclined to aid the packer in
this way to the injury of his neighbor.
There is much very choice leaf in the
Connecticut Valley, and along with that
there is some leaf that has cured rather
dark, and consequently, which will not
command the highest price. MANY of
the growers will assort their own crops,
while others will employ parties to as
sort it for them. We learn that grow
er in Whately is to assort some 40 tons
for Others aside from his own. There
are three or four others that do the same
work for neighbors.
Our correspondents write as follows:
