OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN Co.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1904-05-13
Baldwinsville, N. Y.

There is still no activity in the local
market, no sales having been reported.
Growers are now giving their attention
to their plant beds. The indications all
point TO decreased acreage this year.
The unfavorable weather of the past two
or three seasons is responsible for this in
a large measure. The decrease will, how
ever, undoubtedly result in an improve
ment of quality and the tobacco grown
will produce better prices. Many grow
ers have undoubtedly tried to grow
larger amount than they could properly
cultivate and the tendency has been for
several years to spread the fertilizer nee
essary for good results on two or three
acres, over double that amount. With
larger crop than could receive the neces-
sary care and cultivation, with the
ground not properly enriched, the inevi-
table result in some cases has been an
inferior crop. With tobacco, as perhaps
with no other crop, quality and not
quantity is what pays. The decreased
acreage of this year will have decided
tendency to improve our crop. More
care will be used, the crop planted will
be better fertilized and care and dis
elimination will be used in the selection
of seed and plants. A few of the grow
ers, discouraged by the unfavorable past
few seasons, have decided to stop grow
ing tobacco. We believe this to be a
mistake. With good ground adapted to
the growing of tobacco, with sheds al
ready built for handling the crop. there
is no good reason why there is not good
money in tobacco. Good grades of to-
bacco today command as good prices in
the markets as ever, and there is always
demand for first-class crops. Our
growers should remember that in tobac
co it is always quality and not quantity
which counts. ts.-Gazette.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDeKRToN, WIS, May l3, l904.

There is little change to note in the
market conditions except that the vol,
ume of transactions in the '03 crop have
fallen off somewhat during the week
There is still a good deal of riding being
done and while the majority of the sales
are at low figures, dealers are looking
for the better grades for which they are
willing to give larger prices than those
usually quoted. Old leaf of '02 and '01
is also being sought after in country
hands. Sales coming to notice are:
Henry Oscar, 0a at 615&1c.
O. Fessenden, 5a at &c.
F. Handtke, ia at sc.
J. Kennedy, 3a at SC.
VIM. Leiz, 5a at SIC.
Ole Hellegard, 20cs '01 at SIC.
Lewis Otteson, 55cs 81 at sac.
G. G. Holland, 37cs '01 at SIC.
Local dealers have disposed of few
small lots of old leaf during the week,
while our Janesville correspondent tells
of larger transactions.
Deliveries at the warehouses are
continually coming in and at most of the
packing points there is work in sight for
some weeks yet.
The plant beds are making good pro.
gress and need only warm weather to
bring them along very rapidly.
The shipments out of storage reach 10
carloads, Asses, and 3 cars of bundle
goods, from this market to all points for
the week past.

NEW YORK, May 7, 1904.


The market is beginning to show the
signs of the off season. Buyers seem to
reserve their investments for the near
future when at least some of the new
crops are expected to be in marketable
condition. But they are sure to meet
with great disappointment. But a linn
tied quantity of domestic wrapper leaf
confined almost solely to the Connecti-
cut broad leaf will be available, and as
for binder stock, it is hard to say wheth-
er any will come up to expectation at all.
Those who need supply of stock will
have to fall back on what is left anyhow.
Needless, therefore, to say, that manu-
facturers who supply themselves from
the stock on hand can hardly make a
mistake If the demand at the present
time is not livelier, it may be ascribed to
the diminished production Of our cigar
industry. But as the more propitious
weather is advancing, hvelier market
is sure to result also. In Sumatra quite
an active business is prevailing. The
new crop, although it is meeting with
some resistance as to the advance in
price, is taking WE'LL and transactions of
several hundred bales have to be record
ed for the past week. But the old stock
is not neglected either. The Havana
market is holding it's own. Factory
vegas are always in demand, and as the
old Remedies are gradually disappear
ing, the better grades of the 1903 crop
are being picked up too.-Journal.

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, May II, 1904.


What business has been done in this
locality in the tobacco line was done dur
ing the latter part of LAST week and was
somewhat of a reminder of days long ago
and great surprise to the present time.
The only salvation of the dealers this
season is to fall back onto the crop of
1902 and it is being picked up as readily
as that of the crop of the year preceding,
regardless of what condemnation it was
put to during the past year.
But it seems that the market has
again gone back to it's sluggish state so
far this week and the only firm that
broke from it's listless state and made a
deal was that of L. B. Carle & Son, by
selling 200cs of 1901 and '02 and buying
100cs of the same. Fisher & Fisher sam
pied 30Ocs lot of 'O2.
The sales that were made late last
week were those by F. S. Baines of 76Scs
of 1901-'02; S. B. Heddles, 300cs 1901-'02
and Fisher & Fisher 597cs and G. Ell
Rumrill 1S4cs 1902.
MIR. Baines bought 390cs. of Fisher &
Fisher, 97cs of Ell. S. McGifin, 100cs in
Edgerton and 100cs in Stoughton, all low
grade filters and binders. The Fishers
also bought 19Scs of 1902.
The warehouses here are gradually
closing down and in another fortnight
there will be less than half dozen run
ming their asserting rooms. It is report
ed that the American Cigar Co. closed
their house at Brodhead for the season
last Friday.
Lewis Sachel of Chicago, accompanied
by Chas. Tallard of Edgerton, were visit
ors to this market last week.

The Continental Tobacco Company
has filed suits for damages, aggregating
$4,000, to recover against tobacco grow
ers in Gallatin county, KY, who signed

parties who offered better prices than
the contracts called for.

There is considerable call for new Con-
necticut Havana Seed, but many who do
not care to pay such high prices are
forced on to other kinds of leaf. A few
lots of new Big Flats offered are being
looked on with favor on account of rul.
ing prices. Large manufacturers are
trying to pick up what is left of 1902
Wisconsin binders, as they feel it is a
safe stock to invest in. Some good deals
have been made in this tobacco during
the week.
Sumatra. new tobacco is moving
now in fair volume, but real large sales
are still rather scarce.

vades this market.-Leaf.

The last years crop in this section is
nearly all picked up. Mr.. Kendall of
Sun Prairie made few purchases here
last week. The cold, backward spring
has made the preparation of seed beds
later than usual. Some growers report
their plants already up while others
have just sown the seed. o. R. Pomeroy
and son Grove of Gays Mill were in
town the first of the week.

.oanectlcus Valley Tobacco Market.

The heavy rain of the past week had
tendency to retard rather than to force
the growth of the young tobacco plants.
No, have not forgotten my arguments
for copious supply of water, but ]
would rather supply this water to the
beds artificially, having warm sunshine
and the glass to hasten the growth. Yet
on the whole | think the rain we had
will be beneficial, especially to grass.
But tobacco farm of the valley is not
grass farm. But the rain has made the
care of the tobacco beds imperative; for
the season is now we'll advanced and the
plants are not large enough to think of
setting them before May 2O-25. That
date is little slow for our growers, and
I hear the date of May 1920 talked of
by some in this section of the valley.
But am inclined to think that from
May % to June is fully early enough
to avoid the late frosts. Every year we
hear of some grower having from one to
three or four acres frosted in the field
after setting and as general thing |
think that june set tobacco is superior
to May tobacco
Our correspondents report as follows:
North Hatfield, Mass: "Eurotus Morton
100cs to Book at private terms" Con-
way Mass: NO sales heard of. Tobac-
CO plants look the smallest and the most
scattering that ever saw them at this
time of the year, but they will grow fast

Mass: "There have been no sales to re-
port this week. The farmers are very
busy drawing manure and fertilizers for
the 1904 crop; about the same acreage
this year as in years before. Plants not
large, but most beds are well stocked
and plants look healthy" East Whately:

LANCASTER NEW ERA, May 3, lSU4.
The past week has been one of the
dullest. From good week at our last
report, we have again fallen on very
dull one. Aside from the few case lots
which jobbers do not care to report,
there is very little doing. |. Fl. Weaver
sold 169cs of 1901 and 1902 goods.
The deliveries at the packing houses
continue on liberal scale. All are busy
asserting and packing. Some are nearly
done, while others have to wait until
further deliveries reach them before
they can 90 ahead With the coming of
warm weather, the dealers like to put
their purchases away to undergo their
usual fermentation, so everybody is hur-
rying up as fast as they can.
The past few days have been summer
ish, the thermometer going up to 60 and
rs degrees. That ought to bring the
plants in the SEED beds along rapidly.
We have. heard of very little injury to
the plants because os the cold snaps we
have had. N have had as"iateS spring
and may have an "eariy" fall. That will
make q short season for tobacco grow
ing. Every tobacco grower should bear
that in mind. It IS a condition that
must he looked squareiy ii the face, and
growers must govern themselves accord
ingly. II good crop of tobacco is to be-
grown in 1904 it will be through the at,
most care and attention on the part OF
gro sers Every step of the way, from
seed sowing to the tobacco barn, must
be taken to accomplish that end. There
must be no neglect while it is growing,
but every possible encouragement must
be given to it, by fertilization, tillage and
suckering, until the crop is made, if we
are to have good crop.
