WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGKRToN, WIS, Dec. 80, 100


The holiday week seldom brings much
news in tobacco circles and the present
season is no exception to the rules Con-
ditions have been improved amazingly
by casing weather of sufficient duration
to put the hanging tobacco into suitable
case for removing from the sheds and
the delayed work of stripping can nov
go forward. 1t is believed the greater
portion of the crop has been taken down
and busy times are now predicted
throughout the tobacco sections of the
state. Old leaf continues to be moved
out of first hands though the late storms
have curtailed riding somewhat during
the week. The demand for low grade
goods remains strong and dealers are en-
joying liberal trade both from an ex-
port quarter as we'll as from the stogy
manufacturers. An occasional lot of
binder goods finds more remunerative
market, but the bulk of transactions are
among cheaper lines. w. T. Pomeroy &
Co. report the sale of 100cs lot and our
GAINESVILLE correspondent tells of liberal
movement in that market.
The shipments out of storage from this
market for the week have been among
the lightest of the year, not to exceed
200cs to all points.

LANCASTER New ERA, Dec. 20, 1904.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Dec. 2O 1904.
Last week so little was done in cased
tobacco that we about reached the con-
clusion that the business for the year an
old tobaccos, was a thing of the past.
But the trade was agreeably surprised
to hear that fair trade was done during
the past week. The impression is fast
gaining ground that there is money in
all old tobaccos, that they will be want
ed and some who have them are not at
all anxious to sell them. The indica-
tions are tending in that direction and it
would surprise no one if an advance in
price was esta blished before many moons.
The sales that have been reported to us
for the week are Toes Of various years
and states sold by Meiskey & Heiland;
335cs of 03 goods sold by B. F. Good &
Co.; 298cs of '01 crop bought by /. HI.
Weaver from Seitz & Froelich and 74cs
sold; and 250cs bought by Kramer &
Goldberg; in all, 1032cs. For the CORE
spending week of last year the sales were
46O cases.
We learn that very active buying
campaign has again set in at the close of
the year against the new crop, 1904.
Some packers, and among them some Of
the largest ones, who remained out of
the field until recently, are now making
up for lost time. Among them are the
firms of Kramer & Goldberg, j. Gust
Zook, M. M. Fry & Co., Eisenlohr Bros.
and Herbs, Wertheim & Schiller.

NEW YORK, Dec. q, 1904

In spite of the approach of the holi-
days, transactions in domestic leaf keep
up, especially in Pennsylvania Broad
leaf and thinner Spanish of the 1903
crop. First samples of the new Con-
necticut Havana Seed are expected by
the end of the month, and the trade
awaits their inspection with interest.
Sumatra-Numerous good sized sales
are reported for the week, and consider
able activity was experienced. All of
that portion of the crop suitable for
American use is now here, and those IN
need of stocks have wide range of
choice, barring the scarcity of light
wrappers.
Havaua-The market is more nearly
bare of old goods than at any time in
many years. The new tobacco that ar
rives from Cuba is snapped up with
avidity, and at prices that would be
staggering under other conditions

SECRETARY WILSON'S annual report
gives some curious figures, in an effo.e
to bring within average comprehension
the magnitude and value of the farm
products of this nation. The farmers of
the United States are now producing
yearly commodities worth nearly $1,000
100000. To most of us such figures
really mean little. Our minds cannot
grasp what they stand for. Only by
comparisons can we get any definite idea
of their meaning. Here are some that
may help to such an idea: The farm
products of the last two years in the
United States exceeded in value the out
put of all the gold mines of the world
since Columbus discovered America.
American farm products of the last year
were worth four times the value of all
the minerals produced in this country;
three times the gross receipts of all the
railways: six times the com bined capital
of all our national banks. With their
corn crop alone American farmers could
at once pay off the entire national debt,
principal and accrued interest, and have
nearly enough left to pay national ex-
penses for another year.

The fight on the Philippine tariff ques-
ton is now on in earnest and in full
swing, says the q. S. Tobacco journal.
By the very Importance of the issue at
stake the leading daily papers of the
country have been, compelled to take it
up too and in their incompetence of ap-
preciating the magnitude Of the danger
involved for the domestic tobacco trade
and cigar industry they have turned on
the trade in a savage onslaught. No
clap trap is cheaper or more disgusting
ly demagougic than the high-sounding
phrase of "some sacrifice by our own cit
izens" to "vindicate our national honor
and ability to govern wisely territories
thrown upon our hands employed by a
plea to kill our American cigar manu-
featuring and cigar leaf raising interests
in order to put life into Secretary Taft's
craze for his Philippine idol. If there is
any class of our citizens that has borne
more cheerfully any sacrifice for our ma
tional honor than the tobacco trade, we
would like to know it, because from no
one were heavier sacrifices demanded,
and on none heavier ones imposed than
on the tobacco trade since the Spanish
n war, WulCu GuIoW LuO tCiIl-
tories on our hands," First there was
the sacrifice of free trade with Porto
Rico, tobacco raising and cigar manu-
featuring territory. Then there was the
sacrifice of 20 per cent. reduction on
the tobacco and cigars of Cuba in the
Cuban Reciprocity treaty. And now the
tobacco trade is called again for the
third time to sacrifice itself for the Phil
ippine Islands. And because it does not
submit meekly to the final slaughter
prepared for it, it is being assailed with
a vehemence and venom by the satellites
of craze, pure and simple, as if it were
guilty of high treason. But there is
such thing as being sacrificed once too
much. As fo- our national honor it was
not pledged to make the Filipinos mil
lionaires in few years at~.the expense
of our domestic industries. To speak of
our national honor" in conjunction with
an individual hobby to sacrifice some OF
our domestic industries is too absurd to
be taken into serious account.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The long delayed tobacco damp" has
arrived, frightening the prospects of the
tobacco towns throughout the entire
state. The nearest approach to casing
weather since early fall came on the 22d
with a short season of rising tempera-
ture and moist atmosphere. The lower
tiers of the sheds had just begun to
soften when sudden change to colder
weather put an end to the Eope of get
ting any portion of the crop from the
poles. The morning of the 26th, how
ever, opened with a heavy fog and an
east wind bearing temperature close
to the freezing point. Later it became
warmer and mild rain set in that lasted
throughout the night and we'll into
Tuesday. The moisture thoroughly per-
meated the curing sheds and put the
hanging leaf into the very best condi-
tion for taking down. Unless the tobac.
co in the more open sheds reached too
high case, the growers have been given
ample opportunity for removing the en-
tire crop, and stripping will now be the
order of the day throughout all the
growing sections. The dealers are as
much delighted over the prospects of an
early delivery now as the growers as so
much of the crop is already under con-
tract that they are anxious to start the
warehouse handling which will now be
delayed but very short time. BY the
second week in January a good many
sorting rooms ought to be organized and
we'll under way.

JANEsv1LLE, Wis, Dec. 2S, 1904.

Now that casing weather mas come,
there is smile cast on every face OF
those who earn livelihood through the
tobacco industry. 1t means to the sort
er many days of comfort. 1t means to
the grower many days of rest before the
spring toll and to the dealer it means
better conditions of his purchases and
that certainly means better prices. The
outlook of the 1904 leaf is very bright, in
business way, as we'll as in condition.
It has been released from the lath with
out any trace of damage, and if it goes
through the sweat as we'll as it has
through it's curing it promises to be the
banner crop for years.
By the early coming of case weather
the sorting rooms in this city will be
open in full swing before the first of
February. Dealers are losing no time
in riding and many places will be visited
before the leaf is even bundled. f. S.
Baines has four representatives scatter
ed in the northern section; j. L. Soul
man is also looking for both old and new
leaf in those parts of the state and be-
fore the week has closed not many sheds
will be missed by the dealer. Prices
seem to be Z and &c.
In spite of this being holiday week,
old leaf has come in for it's share of at
tention and some good deals are re-
ported.
L. B. Carle & Son sold for the week
past 500 boxes of 1923 and bought 400
of the same years goods; Geo. FL. Rum
rill sells 462 boxes of 1901-2-3 and buys
25O of 1923; S. B. Heddles sells in the
neighborhood of 800 boxes of low grade
goods.
A large Cincinnati firm is reported to
have bought 35 cars of low grade leaf,
the purchase being made from three
prominent dealers of the city.
Mr. Levi B. Carle Of this city left Sun
day for an extensive visit through the
southern country, visiting Panama,
Cuba, Jamaica, and will return home by
way of Mexico. Mr.. Carle's visit to these
countries is merely one of pleasure but
the great tobacco plantations there will
not escape his observation.

Even the Pennsylvania tobacco grow
ers have troubles of their own, if we may
Judge from the comments of the Lancas-
ter New Era, which says: A country
exchange reports that some farmers who
have delivered their crops in Lancaster,
or rather, have tried to do so, were badly
treated by the dealers. Their tobacco
was not received and had to be taken
home again. We know nothing of these
cases, but no doubt there was tobacco
offered that was not accepted. But it
must not be forgotten that there are
always two sides to these stories, and it
is we'll to hear them both before putting
the blame. Everybody knows we have
not had stripping weather all fall and
winter, and the tobacco now sent to the
packing houses can hardly be in con-
dition to strip. We all know what oc-
ours then. The present situation is a
critical one, and it is better to wait even
a month or two longer than resort to a
bucket of water and broom. It will be
better all around to await damp spell
and then strip and assort according to
contract. Then, if the grower has a
good case, he is on sure ground if trou
BILE arises.
