There seems to be very little change
in the tobacco situation in this locality
from that of last week, and OF many
weeks preceding, and the person that
ventures a prediction of favorable tobac.
co weather is taking long chances on his
ability of telling the truth. It has been
many seasons since crop has been left
in such dilapidated condition as has
the crop of 1908 and it is not to be won
dered at that the farmer will turn to
other resources. Nevertheless there are
not few good crops to be found and
have already been bought, but they are
instances where. extraordinary pains has
been devoted to the leaf. The better
grades this year are mostly found in the
northern part of the county and the
buyers who are on to this fact have lost
no time in getting on the ground and a
very little of the leaf that is hanging in
the shed in that part Of the county re-
mains unsold.
All the business that has been done in
this locality within the past few days is
not the heaviest that ever happened, and
consists about as follows: L. B. Carle &
Son bought 125cs of 1901 of the Pau
Bros. packing at Milton. Tics of 1902 OF
Hopkins, Edgerton, and sold 125cs oi
1902.
The warehouses that began operations
in the asserting lines are l.. Vile & Son
who will open up in Brodhead the com
ing Monday, and R. L. Erler, who started
up Tuesday with force of 25 hands.
S. B. Heddles received three cars OF
old leaf from Clinton Tuesday and the
Soulman warehouse also received on the
same day.
Those who visited this market during
the weeE are Ell. w. Child and Chas
Bentley. both of Edgerton, the latter be-
ing in search of 1902 packing.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, March Is, 1904.
Some riding is being resumed for the
purchase of last seasons tobacco crop,
but prices seem to be settling around
about the six cent mark where trades
are effected for the average binder lots
and even lower for something that will
fill an export order. Even at these fig
ures buyers are nowhere ambitious to
secure very large holdings nor particu-
larly pleased over their bargains.

port are:

1OOcs of O1 and sold 5Ocs of '02 for the
week.
Deliveries of recent sales are now COM
ing to the warehouses quite freely. De-
spite the frequent seasons of casing
weather, we learn that considerable to-
bacco is still hanging ir the curing
sheds. Growers who have not sold are
many of them commencing to sort and
case their crops.

500 cases from this market to all points

O~A~As-@A-'N' -~'t ~"~'
That part of the crop already sold is
rapidly going to market. Much of the
tobacco is still hanging as the 'case" has
not been sufficient for handling it. Ow-
ing to the damaged condition of the crop
buyers are very careful in purchasing,
and at low prices.
O. x Roe and T. B. Earle were up the
Kickapoo last week looking after their
purchases.
o. r. Pomeroy received five Ear loads
of tobacco at Gays Mills Saturday; also
John Bowen one car.
Farmers as rule recognize that their
tobacco is not first-class and are willing
to adjust matters with the buyers. The
unfaVorable conditions of the present
crop have had tendency seemingly to
reduce the acreage for 1904. At this
time last year merchants that handled
tobacco seed we're entirely sold out,
while this year there has been very little
sale of seed. A reduced acreage will
mean better goods grown by the more
experienced raisers of the weed.
