WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

Buyers are still riding the Crawford
and Vernon county sections and quietly
contracting for the new crop in the
fields at prices ranging from 8 to IL cents
for bundle delivery. The information
reaches US that most of the desirable
valley crop has been sold and the indi-
cations are that fully one half the sound
fields will soon be taken over. Ten
cents is about the average price named
in the contracts There is a good
deal of riding in other growing sections
keeping tab on the harvest which is just
fairly getting under full swing. Much
of the weather of the week has been too
cool for the rapid maturing of the fields,
and there is large amount of late to-
bacco that will scarcely reach the sheds
without a phenomenal fall without
frosts.
The most important transaction of old
leaf for some time is the reported sale of
the Westby packing of O3 by M. 81.
Bekkedal to T. B. Earle for the account
of the Philadelphia firm of L. Bamber-
ger & Go. The lot comprises 3002 cases
of the best Vernon county product.
Dealers report fair inquiry for old
stock but sales are of minor Importance.

M1AM1sBURG, O., Aug. 26, 1904.

Although occasional small deliveries
of the 1903 thinner continue in evidence
at prices ranging from 615 to cents
through, if Little Dutch and Seedleaf
were available much larger business
might have been done; but, as usual,
the inquiry for these varieties increased
as the stock diminished, and since it has
become exhausted the demand is some
what fierce.
The weather during the past week has
been favorable for maturing the growing
crop, and harvesting in a week or two
will become general. We would again
caution farmers not to cut their tobacco
until it is ripe, which may readily be de-
termined by the appearance of lemon
colored spots throughout the leaves

Chas. R. Goldsmith, of the firm of
Chas. R. Goldsmith & Co., was in town
Wednesday,. The handling of purchases
recently made by A. Meinke continues
at this firms warehouse. The growing
crop is looking unusually fine and the
indications are that the crop will be the
best raised for several seasons. A num-
Der of growers have been cutting, some
having finished. Experienced tobacco
men speak of the tendency of few
growers to start cutting before the to-
bacco is ripe and say that this should be
carefully avoided.-Gazette.

NEW YORK, Aug. q, 1904.


Another brisk week, but not altogeth-
er cheerful. New arrivals thronged the
market again, and they had TO pass
through the same experience, that is to
say, to buy from sheer necessity, and not
because they were attracted by the goods
offered. But probably the sorest disap'
pointment they had to meet was the
high figures any type and grade com.
manded. If it was trying to pay 35 cents
for Connecticut Broadleaf seconds and
60 cents for the average wrapper of the
same type, these goods were at least
sound, and being but very limited in
quantity, hardly sufficient to satisfy a
moderate demand for them. But the
Connecticut Havana seed, too, eXacted a
price out of proportion almost to it's act
ual merit. And yet if buyers wanted to
have at least some Connecticut leaf,
either for binder or wrapper purposes,
they had to make the best of bad job
and take the goods as they are and pay
the price asked for them. For there was
nothing to replace it, and the shortage
of the leaf supply became evident to
everybody who even took cursory
glance at the situation of the market. A
detour to the Connecticut districts did
not improve their chances. For the
glaring defects of the leaf are common
to almost all packings, whether put up
by the city merchants or country pack
ers. Next to the Connecticut, and per
haps more in quantity, the Pennsylvania
crop was attacked by the buyers. II in
dividual sale reports can be fully trusted
over 5000 boxes of 1903 Pennsylvania
were disposed by the market. With
other odds and ends the transactions for
the week comprised nearly 5000 cases.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Tobacco cutting has progressed well
in this locality during the past week, and
another good week will see the bulk OF
the crop in the sheds, and larger and
better crop we have never seen. Ii it
comes from the poles with not much of
it pole-burned we think that the aver
age will be fully up to 1900 pounds to
the acre, although we may be mistaken
in our estimate. We know of fields that
will strip one ton to the acre, sbut the
proof of the pudding is in eating" SO the
proof will be in the weighing after strip
ping.
Not many of the farmers are using

New Texas Growers.

A company is being organized for the
purpose of raising tobacco at Halletts
vile, Texas. 1t will have capital stock
of $4,000. One hundred acres of land
will be put in cultivation. G. r. Hud-
gins of Florida will superintend the cul-
tivation of the plant. The organization
of this company is the outcome of the
success this year in raising tobacco in
that country.

New England tobacco growers are short
sighted in not coming out hat-footed in
thsir opposition to a reduction Of duty
on Philippine tobaccos which the pres
ent administration seems pledged to fav-
or. 1t looks upon the opening of the
domestic markets to free tobacco from
our island possessions as the greatest
menace the trade has yet been against.
pine tobacco would strike heavier the
New England tobacco grower than al
most everybody else. True, the domes-
tic packing trade would be ruined if
Philippine tobacco should be admitted
free. But the capital engaged now in
packing domestic leaf could be trans
ferred without any loss to other pur-
suits, if the young men in the trade
should not prefer to turn into importers
of Philippine instead of packers of do
mestic leaf True also that our domes-
tic cigar industry would become para
lyzed and suffer enormous losses. Some
might recuperate, however, and try to
utilize their plants by manufacturing
cigars in this country from free Philip
pine tobacco, and some might emigrate
to the Philippines to ply their vocation
there. But as there will be absolutely
no further use for New England or any
other cigar leaf raised in this country if
we are supplied with all the cigars we
can possibly consume at from one-third
to one-fifth the price the consumer has
been made to pay, from the Philippine
Islands, the New England tobacco grow
ers will have to 60 out of the tobacco
raising business too. Unlike the packer
they could not transfer their farms to
the Philippine Islands
Xxx
The first month of the new fiscal year,
that is July, has not realized the expec-
tation of an improvement in our cigar
and tobacco industries. For the internal
revenue returns for that month show
decrease in all their outputs with the ex
ception of little cigars and snuff and an
increase in the output of little cigars is
the established proof of depression in
the cigar industry and continued slack
ness of business in general. The de-
crease in the output of full fedged ci-
gars amounted to 50004, 760 in a total
output of 551, ,169, ,450 against total out
put of 6O5, ,254, ,21O in July, 1908.

In parts of Canada, particularly in
Ontario and Quebec, tobacco growing is
developing rapidly. It is most success
full in western Ontario, where long mar.
row strip of land in Essex county is pc
culiarly adapted to white hurley. Last
year about 3,5OOOOO pounds of this type
of tobacco was produced there. One big
grower recently made special trip to
the Miami district of Ohio in order to
secure fine hurley seed. Nearly 60 per
cent of the Essex crop is purchased by
Quebec dealers, the rest is used in On
tario. The Ontario leaf is generally
lighter and more desirable than that
raised in the first-named district. About
IL cents per pound was realized by Es-
sex farmers for their crop last winter.
Average returns per acre from tobacco
are $50 to S125 With the exception OF
British Columbia, Canada cannot pro-
duce cigar leaf that will compete with
foreign stock. Dominion tobacco is used
mainly for manufacturing chewing and
smoking mixtures.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The bnying of the new crop in the
fields of the Vernon county section is
now proceeding for the third week. In
formation reaches US that contracts
have been placed for more than two
thousand acres, and while from appear
ances the first rush is about over, buyers
are still quietly increasing their hold
ings as they watch the manner of har
vesting of the crops already purchased
to see that no unripe tobacco is cut and
growers use proper care in handling
from the fields to the shed. This pre-
caution is doubtless we'll taken for it has
often been urged as an argument against
buying in the fields that growers were
disposed to be careless in handling when
sales had already been made. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the limit of the buy
ers now engaged in the movement will
soon be reached and unless other deal
ers join the list, buying will soon decline
for none of the large operators in Wis
consin leaf have as yet been implicated
in the deal. The trust buyers, so far,
are not in the market.

While the damage to growing tobacco
resultant from hail storms in this state
is less this year than the average season,
the other cigar leaf states do not appear
to be as fortunate. Reports from New
England, Pennsylvania and Ohio tobac-
co growing sections are to the OBJECT that
hail has been especially severe covering
larger areas and more destructive than
usual But the Wisconsin fields have
other troubles which are not present in
the eastern states. The heavy winds ac-
companying the big storm two weeks
ago were vastly more injurious to the
standing fields than all the hail in this
state. The cool summer, too, has de-
layed the growth and maturing of the
crop in all sections and warm late fall
must surely prevail if anything like the
average crop is gathered this season.
