NEW YORK, April 20.-NIrs. Mary

Women's Christian Temperance union
at the international antialcohol con-
gress at Bremen, has sent the follow
ing communication regarding the work
of the assembly, which closed its ninth

Or for their hereditary rank, have come
here from fifteen different nations on
two hemispheres.
Questions of religion and politics
were wisely ruled out of such varied
assemblage. The subjects discussed
were the teachings of science concern
ing a moderate use of alcohol and the
effect of it's use on every phase of hui
man progress Two schools of thought
were representative moderates, who
call themselves the temperate school,
and the total abstainers, who are called
the abstinence school, By common
consent the congress passed no resolu-
tons, but the applause for the testi-
mony of science and experience on be-
half of total abstinence showed the
moderates to be in the minority.

The tobacco market in this vicinity
livened up considerably during the week
and there was quite number of buyers
in the field in spite of the severe weather
and poor condition of the roads. But
the buyers were careful rather than lib
eral purchasers, and the sales reported
did not aggregate anything like the
number recorded in former seasons.
Prices average from 4 TO cents in the
bundle, and these figures are so unsai is
factory that many growers have com
menced to do their own asserting in the
hope of realizing more money from their
crops. The warehouses are open and
working, but there is no great rush, as
deliveries have been delayed by the
weather. Taken altogether, the season
is not very lively one, and some farm
ers are so discouraged that they declare
their intention of abandoning tobacco
growing. But when planting time comes
they may change their minds, as they
have doue before.

JANEsvILLE, WIS, March 8, 1903.


About half dozen buyers are riding
from this market in quest Of the desir-
able tobacco yet remaining in the hands
of the farmers, and quite little is being
bought. Much of the tobacco is held
at high price when the quality of the
goods are considered.
Work around the asserting rooms is
running smoothly although there is yet
a shortage of help in some of the ware
houses. This has caused some to make
slight raise in the price for asserting.
The work in the smaller warehouses is
not the same and those doing a higher
grade of asserting have to pay higher
price than those who only do ordinary
sizing.
Old goods are moving more freely. T.
B. Carlc & Sos report the sale of 2lC
cases and S. b. Heddles sold l2l cases

A buyer from Amsterdam has been in

which was Wisconsin. The only sale of

to small leaves, and this slight defect
should not stand in the way of buyers
who need tobacco. No large sales have
been reported during the past week.

The local tobacco markets furnish but
little that is not a repitition Of the con-
ditions that have prevailed for several
weeks past. Buying of both new and
old goods continue in moderate way
with the majority Of transactions in old

previous quotations. Sales coming to
notice since last report are:

The deliveries Of new goods at the
warehouses continue to come in as fast
as packers can find storage facilities for
bundle leaf, all OF whom have stocks on
hand far beyond their sorting room
needs. Growers are still crowding pack
ers for delivery dates before the spring
break up of the roads, for nearly one
third OF the purchases are yet remaining
in growers hands.
The old leaf market has developed no
new features, only moderate business
being transacted in small lotss,to manu-
facturers.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed % cars, 1880 cases and cars of

and for many months past Only as re-
CARDS binder leaf there we're inquiries
and some anxiety to gobble up what was
in sight, but there is very little that is
both serviceable and within the figure
manufacturers want to pay. Concern
ins the other types only small sales for
immediate needs were affected; even the
Sumatra and Havana suffered under
this general dullness. And as our re-
ports of the other branches show, slack
ness seems to prevail in every line

The value of the California orange
crop this year has been estimated at full
ly $8,000,W0. including lemons. About
2200 cars will be required To move the
crop to eastern markets. A carload con-
taiDs about $50 boxes. SO that the crop
would total fully 100000 boxes, worth at
least 81 per box net to the grower. The
crop is now handled almost entirely By
a system of exchange through a local as
sociation of growers, which unite for the
purpose of preparing their fruit for the
market. The first orange trees in Cali
fornia were started by the Spanish Mis-
sionaries, and for one hundred years the
fruit barely proved sufficient for local
needs. The first oranges of the seedless
variety were started by the government
at Riverside in 1874, and the date marks
a new period in orange growing on ac-
count of fthesuperiority of the new variety

M1AMIsBURG, O., Feb. %, 1903.


The situation in the tobacco market
in this section during the week was quite
exciting for a time. the competition
among the buyers being very lively, with
the effect of advancing the price of Zim-
mer Spanish to 8 and 10 cents through.
But although the struggle to secure leaf
was fierce while it lasted, it soon sub
sided, the buyers withdrawing from the
field, and the farmers who had refused
8 cents few days ago would now jump
at such an cffer. 1t is more than sus-
pected that buyers who under the spur
of competition offered high prices for
the tobacco acquired rather more than
they wanted at these figures, and will
probably hold off in the hope of getting
more later at low figure in order 10
average the cost of their holdings. But,
as at least half the crop has already l.een
bought, it is question whether the re-
mainder will be obtainable at the desired
low prices. In seed leaf there was con-
siderable business at prices ranging from
5 to 7 cents, but the traffic in thinner
Spanish was so lively as to make it ap-
pear insignificant. The warehouses are,
open and deliveries are plentiful.

LANCASTER New ERA. Feb. "a, 1908
The past week was dull one, so far
as the trade in old goods is concerned.
The demand is mostly for old goods FIR
immediate consumption, and Of these the
stock on hand has grown very limited, so
the transactions are not many nor large.
Among the sales, however, was one of
1902 goods, sweated by the bulk process,
which shows how great an advantage
such goods have over the old process of
case sweating, by coming into the mar
ket six months earlier than the latter,
and avoiding all danger of mould and
black rot meanwhile. The sales that
have been brought to our notice are 250
cases sold by NJ. NJ. Fry, 125cs sold by
Kramer & Goldberg; in all, 375cs. For
the corresponding week Of last year 33l
cases were sold.
An immense amount OF new leaf has
been delivered at the warehouses during
the past week. At one place we were
told they welcomed the snowstorm of
last week, as it rendered deliveries i'm
possible and gave them chance to put
away some of their tobacco and thus
make room for the stock that was sure
to come few days later We have not
seen single warehouse that is bot en-
ploying large force of men in receiving
and asserting and packing the crop of

ASSOCIATION.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-03-06
Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market:

Sales appear to be quite scattered as
well as of low values, provided we Judge,
of the quality by the prices paid for it
by the spectators. When growers are
really panic-stricken for fear they should
not be able to SELL binder prices, as well
as filler rates often enable these sharks
to secure many fine crops. There ap-
pears only one way to avoid this condi-
ton, and that is, for the growers Of each
tobacco town to organize CO operative
association. Then erect a spacious ware
house where the tobacco eau be assorted,
packed and sweated, and held for sale by
the society's officials The president
should meet the conventions of the
other towns and arrange all matters per-
tainirg to the association, including the
appraisal Of each mans crop, giving a
certificate OF it's value. The banks aro
said TO be willing to advance sixty per
cent. on the crop It seems as though
this would be better than to form cor.
poration, and as promoter Of the plan
says, it might return at least ten PER
cent. dividend But does not this last
feature look too much like skinning the
poor growers?
Correspondents report as follows: Yer
