New YORK. May 2, 1908.


The general features of steady and
quiet business continue to characterize
the conditions of the market, and from
the gradual disappearance of the growls
and complaints which for fully two years
made the market resound with explosive
expressions of dissatisfaction it may be
judged that it has at least become ac-
customed to the consequences which
revolutionized its traditions and method
of business. Old times belong to the
past and they can never be revived. An
accommodation to the changes therefore
to which belongs the present and which
forbode the future is essential to carry
ing on successfully business. Those
who are pursuing this policy seem to be
busy all the time, as the demand for all
kinds Of cigar leaf is incessant and no
surplus of old stock on hand With
every month the cigar industry becomes
a greater consumer and it's enlarged ap-
petite has to be gratified by the supplies
of the market. Just at present this ap-
petite seems to be chiefly centered on
the Remedies, the supply of which from
this years crop must be counted out.
Not till 1900 is there any prospect of
fresh supply of Remedies and there is in
consequence a race for it by those who
have become convinced of the actual
facts and who do not want to be left
without it or be compelled to pay prices
as they did during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. Sumatra is likewise doing
well; for it has now again become the
principal source of our wrapper supply
and the supplies on hand and those ex-
pected from the new crop are fortunate
ly fitting the demands of our cigar in
dustry, as regards yield, color and even
price, Though large transactions in
Sumatra are still OF rare occurrence its
sales in smaller lots is increasing in fre-
quency. Altogether the market presents
q healthy and progressive aspect

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS, May 3, l9O3.
Some of the cheaper, grades OF last
seasons crop are being slowly gathered
in, but aggregate amount of business is
small indeed, and prices ranging around
cents for the greater share. Thus the
balance of the neglected portion of the
crop will gradually find it's way into the
hands of exporters. A few lots of 1901
leaf are being lifted, the following sales
showing the range of prices:
Fred Uker, 5Ocs at 7&2c.
Nels Foslin, 18cs at 8&2c.
F. Gritzmaker, 2Ocs at 1920.
@. Stuvengen, 18cs at 8&2c.
The market for old leaf is uneventful,
packers reporting only a moderate bust
ness. Mcintosh Bros. sold an SOcs lot of
1901.
A few warehouses are still operating
in bundle leaf but the packing season is
about closed at most of the receiving
points
The weather remains much too cold
for the rapid advancement of the plant
beds but growers claim they are making
strong root that will hasten development
later.
The shipments out of storage reach
but II Car loads, 626cs, from this market
to all points for the week past.

The local market remains quiet with
but little doing. Louis A. Kramer of
Lancaster, Pa, is registered at the Sen
eca House and has been riding with j.
Wallace Lee. They are reported as hav-
ing purchased few good crops. D. G..
Albright, the local representative of Max
Cans & Son of New York, has also been
riding and is reported as having bought
several crops. Mr.. Albright is still han
ding his purchases, having about 30 en-
ployed in the Upson & Nettleton ware
house. Chas. R. Goldsmith of New York
was in town Saturday. A few small
shipments have been made from the
warehouses; Gazette.

Connectiont Valley Tobacco Marker

connecticut valley Tobacco Market
We anticipate smaller general plant
ing than last year, while it is in evidence
that the shade grown will be increased.
But this last will not be any detriment
to that grown in the open. The first and
main business of the grower is to pro-
duce the best possible crop that his soil
can grow. Make sure of white ash by
using a couple of barrels of lime this
year; but one will probably answer in
many cases. Circulars have been pre-
pared and sent out to most of the towns
urging cooperation of growers. It is
evident that the middlemen absorb the
main part of the profits derived from to-
bacco culture in New England.
The weather for the week ending
April 25 has been delightful and farmers
have improved every moment The cool
and dry weather has just been right for
a. man and his team, and much needed
work has been done when the plant beds
are properly covered. for they are doing
nicely. Cultivator.

LANCASTER New ERA, April %, 1908
Dealers almost without exception re-
port very quiet week. There is some,
demand, it is true, but it is for goods
that are not here, and which, therefore,
can not be supplied. The crop of 1901
is beginning to move slowly, but steadily,
and no doubt there will be more activity
in it before long. One packer has turned
up who shows his confidence in it by
adding an additional hundred cases to-
his previous holdings. The following
sales have been reported to US: Walter
S. Bare sold 178cs, of various years; /. s.
Weaver sold 97cs and bought 10Ocs Of
1901 tops; in all, 375cs. For the cores
ponding week of last year 3,333css were
sold.
Mr.. Samuel Sissel who for several
years has been packing tobacco with
Charles Tole & Co., has retired from that
firm and will no doubt soon be operating
again on his own account.
The weather is still too cool, both day
and night. for the seed beds to make
much headway, but warmer weather will
no doubt come along in short time,
when better progress will be made,

EVANSVILLE, Wis, May 5, 1903.


The buying of the new crop has almost
ceased, there being only now and then a
buyer riding and then only in desul-
tory manner. Those who are disposed
to make further purchases will do so
later in the year and are now paying
more attention to the sale of old goods,
for which there is an increased inquiry
and prospects of possible sales. Geo. M.
Decker reports the sale of 107cs of 1901
and L. B. Barle & Son purchased about
100 cases 1902. The usual number of
small lots have been disposed of.
About a half dozen asserting rooms

M1AM1sBURG, O., April q, 1908.

Dribbling deliveries are noted every
day or two, with now and then one of
average proportion. Packers have al
ready secured the bulk of their purchase
and are now in a position to consult
their own convenience or pleasure about
making additional purchases. A few
buyers are riding leisurely, and the
prices paid Of late are not so good as
previously quoted.
1t is reported that the Newburgh COM
pany has discontinued rehandling at
Miamsburg and transferred their tobac-
CO to the Franklin branch. Other pack
ers here are industriously prosecuting
the work of rehandling.

abundance. News.
