From Mr.. W. Barnard of Walkerville,
Canada, who was in the state recently
and is manager of the largest tobacco
venture of Ontario, we gained some in
formation concerning the tobacco indus
try Of Canada, which produced from
three to five million pounds annually.
Walker & Co., of Walkerville, six miles
from Detroit, have been growing for
number of years past about 13O acres of
tobacco, largely of the Burley type, used
in making plug and chewing tobacco.
The firm are one Of the largest distillers
in Canada, feeding 5000 head of cattle
on the distillery slops continually and it
was for the purpose of utilizing the fer
tilizers that tobacco raising was taken
up. Mr.. Barnard says their great
est difficulty now is that the land, which
is clay loan, has been too rich even for
tobacco. They have fourteen curing
sheds 96x42 and warehouse 6Ox3O feet.
The crop usually brings from to cents
per pound, on yield of about ton per
acre. According to Mr.. Barnard about
1000 acres of cigar leaf was grown the
past season in that vicinity of Canada,
under contract with a man named
Ward of Pontiac, Mich, who agreed to
pay the growers cents. After the crop
was raised Mr.. Ward could not fulfil his
contract and the farmers have their to-
bacco and no market for it.

ary, March and April are the between
seasons months, and no great activity
can now be looked for until the force
sweated goods begin to come in. The ad-
vent of the artificially cured tobacco not
only creates a stir in wrapper goods, but
usually has stimulating effect on the
domestic market in general. A few hun
dred cases of Wisconsin and Connecti-
cut Broad leaf changed hands during
the past week, but the only sale worthy
of note was that of 500 cases of 1900
Pennsylvania Broad leaf at p. t.
Sumatra. The serious view which the
conservatively inclined took of the situa-
tion three months ago is becoming more
general. The spring Inscriptions are suf-
ficiently close at hand to be talked about,
and importers who really thought they
had materially reduced their stocks are
beginning to realize that they have
little more tobacco on hand than is nee
essary to carry them through the season.
The local market is decidedly quiet.
Havana.-A slow, dragging business is
being done in this line. Prices that are
being asked for good tobaccos are firm
and rather high, but in view of the sit
uation and prospects they are by no
means exorbitant.

New York.
New YORK, March S, 1902.

Nothing startling doing. No clean
sweep in sales. No gobbling up of entire
packings. But steady, everyday, hand
to-mouth business. Every body seems to
be busy and idle at the same time; busy
making small sales and idle in having
time enough to growl that he does not
dispose of his entire stock in tWinkling
and to spend the balance of the year in
complaining about the dullness and dam
nation of the trade. There are about
10000 cigar factories, barring two con-
Germs, to be supplied with stock. These,
10000 factories have since '9S been turn
ing out more cigars every week, every
month and every year than ever before
and consuming more leaf than ever be-
fore. Naturally so. But because these
thirty thousand factories, barring two,
are in the market for supply every day
and not once in three or six months, the
market is voted to be dull, and the leaf
trade an antiquated business that will
have to go into liquidation! In the
meanwhile stocks are disappearing faster
than they can be replenished and inqui-
ries for certain types of not even very
old tobaccos are met with a shrug; not
to be had OF course transactions can
not be followed as closely now as former
ly, when at one lick man sold out his
years supply and was proud to mention
it, and weekly balance sheets have as
yet not become the fashion. But every
thing is selling at good round figure
Notwithstanding and the averages are
larger than ever before for the market
at large, if not for some individual firms.
The Sumatra trade continues certainly
very fair. 1t is almost the only wrapper
leaf that is to be had freely, and it is:
being consumed more extensively than it
ever was. Only the Havana market is
at present not up to expectations, be-
cause most of the buying of large lots is
now being done in the market of the city
OF Havana. The scare about the duty
reduction is all rot as such reduction
will not take effect before midsummer
and all goods in bond will share in it.
Nevertheless some pretty large sales
were made in old Remedies at very stiff
figures. For fine Vneltas, particularly
leafy ones, the demand is very brisk, but
the supply is totally inadequate Jour
nal.

LANCASTER NEW ERA. March 4, 1902.
The wholesale dealers in cased tobac-
co report another dull week. and in this
view the concurrence is unanimous. The
extremely bad weather at the close of
the week no doubt had something to do
with it; it is bad, and no mistake, so
much SO, in fact, that business of all
kinds felt the visitation of the storm
king, greatly to it's disadvantage The
only sales that have been brought to our
notice are 239 cases sold by l. Ell. Weaver
and 40 cases by B. NJ. Mowery & Co. The
sales for the corresponding week of last
year were 100 cases
The volume of trade in the new crop
has also declined very considerably.
County packers appear to be busy still,
but some of the city buyers who were
most active have been less so of late. As
the first of April is only four weeks away,
it is probable we shall see a renewal OF
the former activity before that time
There are some dealers, however, who
have from the beginning held that too
much has been asked for the 1901 crop,
and have steadily declined to buy at cur
rent rates. Whether they will hold on
to their opinions to the end or conclude
to take a dip along with the rest remains
to be seen. There is no doubt there is
still a large amount for sale.

Considerable tobacco has been taken
in during the past week and there has
also been some shipments made from the
warehouses. The improved condition of
the roads has brought an improvement
in the market, although the prevailing
price for new goods is much lower than
that paid earlier in the season, the pres
ent price ranging from 81 to Sc in the
bundle. j. w. Upsom has recently
bought. a considerable amount and Dem

The cost Of raising a crop of tobacco
has always been a subject of much dis
cussion. Any light upon this subject is
of interest. Recently five estimates were
made by growers Of the cost of produc
ing the Burley type in Kentucky. In
these the rent of land, and curing sheds,
labor of preparing plant beds, cultiva-
tion of the crop, housing, curing and
stripping was included. The highest, in
which the board of help was figured, was
$41 As per acre. The other estimates
range from $27.40 to $30.25. Some
of these also included the cost of final
curing of the crop. The cost of fertiliz-
er, however, was not included in any of
these estimates. The labor, however,
was in each instance, we believe, greater
than is usually expended in growing the
crop in this state. If the price obtained
for the general yield of Burley tobacco
is anything near that paid for the cigar
leaf type, and we believe the average is
not far from it, then tobacco growing in
Kentucky is as profitable as in Wiscon-
sin.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

THE solution of the Gu ban tariff ques-
tion has not yet been reached by con-
gress. Two caucuses have already been
held but no agreement reached as to the
policy to be adopted by the majority.
The impression is gaining that reduc-
ton of 20 per cent will be eventually
granted, despite the protests of the SUI
gar and tobacco interests. A large class
of our people seems possessed of great
er sympathy for the Cubans than they
have for the success of their home indus
tries. No other nation entertains so
great magnanimity.

Local buyers have been quite active
the past few weeks in this section, as
would be indicated by the long string of
teams which daily come to town. heavily
loaded with the 1902 crop. O. M Nelson
of Amos delivered his six-acre crop the
first of the week to o. Gunderson at &c.
II. Z. Hanson received N. K. Remdahl's
ten-acre crop at 611ss&2c, Ole Jenson's ten
acres at Gaze, and acres from James
Gordon at 1920. O. X. Roe took in 19
crops on Wednesday and received eight
crops in Edgerton on Tuesday which was
shipped to this place by rail. Most of
the warehouses have started up with
good force of assorters, but probably
hundred hands could yet fnd employ
ment in the various warehouses. 0. G..
Lee commenced Monday with 30 hands.

'
There is a trife more activity notice
able in the buying of the crop of 1901
but buying has not become general by
any means. In few sections there are
more crops being sold than for several
weeks past. In the immediate vicinity
of GAINESVILLE the sales drag at slow and
tardy pace
The farmers are still continuing to as
sort and case their tobacco to await a
change in the market, believing the con-
ditions will be more favorable later on.
In old goods one of the largest sales ever
made in this city was consumated this
week when Frank S. Banes sold 3O65
cases of the growth of 1900 to the Amer
lean Cigar Co. through it's state agent
N. P. Strause, of Madison. Although
the price is not made public, the total
amount involved is not far from S125, 900.

grades in packing of 5000 cases. Aside
from this sale the market was unevent-

Now that the season for starting the
plant beds is near at hand the following
hints regarding the starting of the crop
by an experienced New England grower
is timely:
Location and soil of the plant bed is
of vital Importance. Strange as it may
appear, there are but few places on any
farm where the conditions are all that
could be desired. A plot of ground
should be selected having a southern ex-
posure and we'll protected from the north
and west winds. When the bed is pre-
pared in the spring a small amount of
commercial fertilizer can be applied and
narrowed in. Nothing is gained by
working the land too early in the season
as, if worked when too wet, it will be
cold, clammy, and in poor condition for
seedbed. A heaping teaspoonful of
seed to the rod is sufficient for an open
bed A part of the seed may be sprout-
ed by being placed in cloth bag and
rolled up in woolen cloth, and laid on
a plate containing water. The seed
should not be submerged, but kept moist
and in warm place, or the seed may be
placed in cloth between two thin sods
and hot water poured on keeping it
warm. The seed should be mixed with
meal Or coal ashes or anything that can
be seen, so that it can be evenly dis
tributed. After the bed has been prop
erly raked, it should be rolled before the
seed is sown. After sowing the seed,
the bed may be brushed over lightly
with birch brush and then rolled
again.
If the bed gets very dry, as sometimes
occurs when worked in very sunny or
windy day, it can be wet down thorough
ly, before the covering is put on. 1t will
then keep moist for long time and will
take out the fire" in the fertilizer, if
larger quantity has been applied. Plant
bed cloth or tobacco muslin makes a
good covering. This can be used and
not taken off until the plants are large
enough to transplant except to weed the
bed. The plants will be healthy and
hardy and do not need sacclimating" as
do plants under glass. Do not make the

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,

EDGERTON, WIS.,, March IA, 1902.
There is a moderate movement going
on in last seasons tobacco in nearly all
the growing sections, though scarcely
enough to develop much activity among
the dealers. The bulk of the orders are
for the medium quality goods for which
much lower prices are paid than pre-
vailed during most of the buying season.
AS long as growers consent to accept
going figures there is chance for the
immediate lifting of quite portion of
the crop remaining in first hands. Deal
ers are not very enthusiastic over the
bargains they are securing, even at the
present quotations.
