tobacco as to quality is even better than
last year. AS to quantity it is about
two thirds of crop. No sales as yet to
report. Two or three have finished
stripping, while others have hardly be-
past, only half crop and prices rather

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.


While the buying of the new crop
seems good deal neglected of late, con-
siderable more activity is noticeable in
the cured lists. Old stock in country
hands is being absorbed quite freely and
trading among packers assuming larger
proportions than for some time past.
Transactions from first hands coming to
notice are:
A. G.. Springer, Ga O2 at 1O&2c bl.
D. Mcneil, SECS 'O1 and 'O2 at s, 2&1c.
f. & G. w. Golf, 37cs 'O1 at &c.
M. G. Olson, 30cs 'OI at 915c.
W. T. Pomeroy & Co. report the sale
of 300cs of 'O1 and 'O2 goods. N. E. Nell
son sold an S0cs lot of export and Ford
& Kellogg S3cs. Mcintosh Bros. bought
a 3OOcs packing of '01 of Sun Prairie
packer, and Geo. Decker loses of '01 of
O. A. Peterson of Orfordville. F. S.
Baines bought 113cs of o. G. Colony of
Evansville.
The weather continues delightfully."-
pleasant and the new crop is so thor
oughly cured in the sheds that stripping
can commence after the first casing
weather, if growers desire.
All reports agree that the samples of
'02 Wisconsin are being we'll received in
the eastern markets and the goods sell
ing readily at good figures, better even
than packers hoped for, that is for the
orally disposing of their low grades and
damaged goods whenever an opportunity
opens, even at less than cost prices, and
an export opening is being found for
them.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 500 cases from this market to all
points for the week past.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market,

AS may be seen by the reports of cor
respondents in Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, the condition of the crop of
1908 tobacco stands very high. The
opinion is that crop has never equaled
that of 1908 for soundness of leaf, or, in
fact, for color of leaf also. Most CORES
pondents report a bright cinnamon color
The crop has not been damaged by
worms or hoppers, neither have heard
of pole sweat in the whole valley. "A
crop its equal has not been produced in
decade; crop that no mistake can be
made in asserting and handling; crop
that the buyer is not afraid to take, be-
cause it can be handled quickly and
easily-there is no money loss in the
handling.
This week our correspondents report
as follows: Conway, Mass: Il have one
crop of 1902 tobacco as sold, Max -Antes
& Son to Rosenberg & Co. of Philadel-
phia. about 125 cases at private terms
Mr.. Antes is our largest grower of tobac-
co in town, raising from 20 to 25 acres
each year. There are no buyers for the
new heard from yet.' Wethersfeld, Ct.:
There has been but little tobacco taken
down from the poles, and it appears to
be very fine and sound. No buyers
around as yet" North Hatfield, Mass:

SENT TO GULF OF DAR.EN.
Commander Of Cruiser Atlanta T.
Watch Developments.


Washington. Dec. S-The dispatch
of the cruiser Atlanta to the Gulf of
Darien is of great Importance and in
terest in connection with the rumor
from Colon of the departure of Co
lombian soldiers for the. Istfmus of
Panama. This is about 1870 miles
east of Colon and the cruise in these
waters will enable her commander to
keep in close touch with develop
mcnts in the Colombian situation
originating in and about the vicinity
Of Cartagena. from which place it Is
rumored the soldiers are TO march on
the Isthmus Naval officials decline
to say whether the dispatch OF the At
lanta to the Gulf of Darien is the re-
suit of any limitations of warlike
operations ON the part of Colombia.
contenting themselves with express
ing the opinion that it will be impos-
sible for Colombian troops to march
overland to Colon or Panama because
of the impassability of the country to
he traversed Nevertheless the de-
parture of the vessel is regarded as
significant as indicating the intention
of the officials of the United States to
be on the alert
To the Colombians in Washington
the reports from Colon produced a
mystifying effect. They will not say
whether they believe the rumors or
not. The Colombians believe there
are 5000 or more soldiers at Carriage
ma and at the various points along the
seacoast available for such purpose
as that stated in the dispatch from
Colon should the government desire
to use them.
