MIAMIsBURG, o., Oct. %, 1902.

The weather during the past ten days
has been more to the liking of the farm
ers than that previously experienced
since the harvest, and will have the re-
suit of Thoroughly curing and drying
out the tobacco on the poles. Although
no contracting of the new crop has as
yet been INDUCED in, the larger packing
concerns are engaging their buyers and
the proper time arrives.

NEW YORK, Oct. %, 1902.

Business in Connecticut tobacco has
been quite active, and several hundred
cases have been taken by Western buy
ers. Damage or no damage, this tobacco
is steadily finding its way into the hands
IL manufacturers. Otherwise the condi-
ton of the domestic leaf market is rather
quiet.
Sumatra. Theoretically there should
be a good demand for the finer grades of
Sumatra tobacco. Business, however, is
inhunced by conditions rather than theo-
ries, and the fact is that so far this month
trading has been only fairly active, and
the inquiry for even desirable leaf is not
so general as it should be at this time of
year. No large sales have been reported
during the past week.
Havana. This market remains in
very satisfactory condition. Sales, of
course, are not of large proportions but
the inquiry for goods comes from all
quarters, indicating that stocks in the
hands of jobbers and manufacturers are
generally low. Old Vueltas are now
about cleared from the market, some
houses having sold out entirely on this
line of goods.-Leaf.

Wisconsin inventors are not the only
men who will have tobacco sizing ma
chimes Oh the market. j. w. Stanton,
who lives on Western avenue, West
Springfield, Mass, has constructed to-
bacco sizing machine that is expected to
revolutionize the sizing department of
the tobacco business. Heretofore the
work of sorting and grading according
to size of the tobacco leaves has been
done by hand. 1t has been necessary to
take bunch of leaves upon the STEERS
table, and one by one select and deposit
in the proper boxes provided for them
the leaves of corresponding size. This
is slow process, and the machine is ex-
pected to enable boy or girl to do as
much work as six men. Experts are OF
the opinion that Mr.. Stanton's machine
will also effect the work of sorting. The
same grades of leaves usually grow in
the same relative positions upon the
stems and are accordingly of practically
the same length, so that in sizing the
different grades are separated, as we'll as
the different sizes.
A machine similar to that above de-
scribed has been in operation in this state
for two or three years past, but so far
has not gone into general use.
k
1t appears that draft of reciprocity
treaty with Cuba providing for a hori-
zontal reduction of 20 per cent on all
imports from Cuba to this country has
been submitted by our administration to
the Cuban government. Ii the latter
should accept it there is not the Slight
est doubt that President Roosevelt, with
his added prestige as the settler OF the
coal strike, will be able to force it
through the Senate at the next session
of Congress. Any opposition to an equal
horizontal reduction on every Cuban
product should therefore make itself
felt now before the treaty is ratified by
the Cuban government.

The Internal Revenue returns for Sep
tember show a remarkable condition in
the tobacco trade. Almost every branch
of the business has experienced an in
crease, even over the output in Septem-
Der, 1901, which was very large. This
condition was quite unexpected, as to to-
bacco and snuff, in view of the fact that
the Internal Revenue receipts were arti-
ficially stimulated just prior to the end
ing of the last fiscal year by the then ap-
preaching reduction in the tax rate, and
the rebate granted to dealers. But there
is every reason to believe that the pres
ent high activity will continue, for some
time, at least. The most interesting item
on the list is tobacco, of which there was
an increased output of almost 30 per
cent.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Occasionally we hear of sales of the
1901 crop at much better prices than
could have been obtained last winter,
but considerable lower than the market
would seem to warrant. Yet if taken to
New York for sale, it generally requires
a broker to do the business, unless one is
connected with some firm he can send it
to.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Hadley: There has been number of
sales; among them are Myron Howe,
John Keefe, William l.. Keefe, Callahan
Brothers, James Da", Thomas O'Niel
and Thomas Hannigan, all in the bun
die, at from IA to 1Sc." Hatfield, Oct 18:
"a few crops of old tobacco were sold
last week at IA to Is cents Stripping of
the new crop is in progress, with fine
outlook for the crop. 1t is sound and
bright East CRANKY Ct: 1--WE have
recently sold number of sizable lots of
tobacco, all in the bundle; prices ranged
from 20 to 22c." Since writing the above,
we have the following additional, dated
East CRANKY, Ct, Oct. 19: "The tobacco
crop is curing down very finely here; no
pole sweat reported. Sales have been
made of few crops at 24c in the bundle
and 27c assorted. There are about 250
cases of 1901 goods in growers hands in
town. L. r. Lobdell has four acres of
shade-grown, and experts call it the fin
est in the valley" Suffield: "The Graves
Bissell syndicate has stripped some %
acres, and we learn that it will be as
sorted and force -sweated, as the market
is not fully supplied with New England
wrappers" North Hatfield: "The to-
bacco buyers have bought few crops to
be delivered in the bundle at from 171a
to l8c Others are looking, but haven't
got down to business yet. Stripping
with few is we'll along, but, as rule,
the most of the crop is still on the poles.

it fine" "-Cultivator.

New York.

NEW YORK, Oct 25, 1902
An average monthly increase in the
output Of our cigar industry of seventy
five million cigars for the first three
months of the current fiscal year, and
the prospect of total output of nearly
eight thousand millions for the entire
year-as fully detailed in our editorial
columns of this issue ought to cheer up
the respondent mood of the worst hy-
pochondriac in the leaf market If the
figures as printed and commented on by
the y. S. Tobacco Journal on another
page have any meaning whatsoever they
mean an unprecedented and unparalleled
consumption of cigar leaf. AS cigars
cannot be made of anything else but ci-
gar tobacco both the phenomenal in
crease and expansian of she cigar indus
try condition also a phenomenal con-
sumption of cigar leaf. All stories, there
fore, of dullness in the trade of cigar leaf
must be relegated into the realms of
marine stories. Somebody must sell the
raw material to the manufacturer, and
if it is not the one then it is another
man. and if it is not the New York mar
ket, then it must be the other tobacco
markets of the country. As matter of
fact, however, the New York market is
not SO dull as our dealers have acquired
the habit to picture. The volume of
business is larger and must be larger be-
cause of the doubled production of the
cigar industry than ever before, only it
is not being done periodically in large
transactions, but it takes the time and
attention of every day the year around
as it confines itself mostly to supplies for
Immediate needs. But the aggregate,
which, on account of the changed con-
ditions in buying and selling is not easily
ascertainable, must be increasing in vol
ume. In fact. everything is selling.
Buyers are not over-fastidious in regard
to the quality or even color of the leaf.
The only haggling that is done is about
the price and even reasonable profits are
obtained. The extraordinary profits of
former years, amounting to 30 per cent.
and in some instances to 100 per cent,

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

Who would have suspected sixty days
ago that the largest tobacco crop ever
grown in the state would be sold before
it was fairly cured in the sheds? Ger
tainly not the tobacco dealer familiar
with the market conditions and usual
trade methods. And yet such seems to
be we'll near the accomplished fact to-
day. While the crop is by no means all
sold, the fraction remaining can scarcely
be treated better than remnant which
is still being gathered in at surprising
rate. It is even estimated that the crop
is now sold down as close as the 1901
was when the market closed last season.
Any year when not more than 10 per
cent. of the crop remains with growers
it is considered pretty closely gathered
in. A certain percentage of growers are
always holders of their tobacco, no mat
ter what prices prevail. There is always
class of tobacco farmers who are them
selves spectators, who frequently add
something to their own raising and take
chances upon any turn of the market
Taking all these things in view there is
very good reason for saying that close to
SO per cent. of the present crop that can
reasonably be bought is already con-
tracted for. There will be very little
evening up on first purchases this year.
On the other hand the early buying is
the best bargains of the season.

The y. S. Topacco Journal says: Peti-
tions are being widely circulated in this
city, and the leaf trade is being also
urged to sign them, in support of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's suggestion for perma-
nent tariff commission, which will un-
doubtedly be submitted to Congress at
its next session. Congress, it may safely
be predicted, will not contemplate favor
ably the prospect of creating such com
mission. The more reason why it should
be -legalized into existence. Tariff legis-
lation by Congress is swayed rather toe
much by political than by economic mo-
tives. 1t is being used altogether too
often, not only as reward for campaign
contributions, but also as bait for vote
catching. 1t is absolutely impossible to
get just or even fair treatment from Con
gress for endangered industries and in
terests which have not compact pOliti-
cal backing or generous campaign fund
contributing power behind them. 1t is
impossible to expect that either the
Ways and Means committee of the
House or the Finance committee of the
Senate should be composed of nothing
but experts of the thousand and one
articles that are made subject to tariff
legislation. For these reasons Congress
has never as yet been able to enact a
tariff that would or could give reason
able satisfaction or that did not contain
the most outrageous blunders.
