Wisconsin Crops of 1904.

Favorable conditions for Wisconsin
farmers we're shown by the final state
crop report for the season of 1904, just
issued by Secretary John M. True, of the
state board of agriculture. The averages
of yield per acre are good, except for
corn, and the quality of this crop is also
slightly off, but all other crops did we'll,
better than last year, and the situation
is one of prosperity for the large agricul-
tural population of Wisconsin.
Gratifying results are noted in the
leading grain crop of the state-oats.
Both in yield and quality the crop is
good. By reason of the great dairying
interests of Wisconsin the pasture and
hay crops are of the highest Importance
and the fact that pastures have been
luxuriant ali season and the hay heavy
and good, means that great harvest has
been made daily by the farmers through
their dairy herds, which cannot be COM
puted or estimated in the crop report.
Secretary True notes the surprising
and gratifying fact that upward of
$4,000 acres of sugar beets were success
fully grown in the state this season.
The potato crop has been wonderful and
the product good. Prices are not high
but there is indicated ready market
Fruit was good and the apple crop sur
passed earlier expectations. Prices of
farm products are steady and moderate
ly high.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Nov. Ii, 1904

The movement in the new crop is
practically at stand still, awaiting the
coming of casing weather. Whatever
riding is being done in the growing dis
tricts is for old goods for which there is
still maintained considerable trading
whenever they can be secured at prices
that will permit of an export outlet or to
supply the needs of the stogy manufac-
turers. The figures are generally under
5 cents for the O3 crop. Thos. Kleven
marketed his ten acre crop of 'O2 at &c.
Business among the packers shows a
fair trade but mainly in small lots. Il
w. Child has purchased 200cs packing
of '03 of Oscar Hanson of Cambridge
G. E. Sweeney reports the purchase OF
20Ocs from country hands and the sale
of a 150cs lot to an exporting firm.
Growers are now nearly ready to give
attention to the stripping when casing
weather arrives, but no evidence of sucn
conditions have prevailed for several
weeks past.
The shipments out of storage amount
to less than 500cs for the week past te
all points from this market.

Home from Convention.

Messrs. z. S. Baer and j. G. Moore, OF
the dairy and food commission, have re-
turned from ST. Louis where they at
tended the National Creamery and But
termakers' association. During the ses-
sion Mr.. Moore was elected vice presi-
dent of the association. Mr.. Moore also
enjoys the distinction of being president
of the Wisconsin Buttermakers' associa-
ton, which holds its next annual meet
ing in Fond du Lac during the third
week of February. The National Cream
cry and Buttermakers' association was
organized in Madison twelve years ago,
and since that time has enjoyed re-
markable growth, and at the last session
upwards of 800 tubs of bntter were en-
tered for competition and more than
ST 900 distributed in premiums.

The weather has been rather cold for
the showing of the tobacco samples for
the last few days. Monday, this week,
the thermometer registered only 10 de-
grees above zero here, and with consid-
cradle north wind, which, if nothing
else will compel the buyers to stay at
home and let the tobacco lay where the
farmers nave put it.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Bradstreet, Mass: "Belden & Sons have
finished taking down their tobacco; also
0. S. Graves and others one half through.
Another damp time will see the bulk of
the 1904 crop in the bundle. No sales to
report from this vicinity" Montague,
Mass: THE tobacco crop is proving very
fine. A. M. Lyman has half of his crop
stripped, and can show nice crop right
through. Donaldson & Bro. have a very
nice crop. We are little retired from
the tobacco centers but have some good
goods to show" Hatfield, Mass: "A
large part of the tobacco crop is now
stripped and few crops have been de-
livered, which have weighed from 100
to 1900 pounds per acre, showing large
and heavy crop, and an average of good
tobacco. But few sales of late, as the
growers ask an advanced price. On Mon
day next six of the asserting shops will
open for the winter" Conway, Mass:
II have one crop of tobacco to report
sold that of Boyden Bros about l0a, to
Levi Pease of Hatfield at 1Sc in the bun
die. We are having dry time now that
ought to bring the fat stems down so it
would be ready for the next damp"
East Hartford: "Sales range at about
29c in the bundle, or BIC assorted. Per-
haps half of the crop in this vicinity has
been sold, most of the growers in this
section producing broad leaf" Suffield;
"Sales of Havana leaf are reported rang
ing around &c. The quality is good, al
though there is some complaint of pole
burn on the lower tiers, and some lots
show darker color than desired Sales
aggregate about 100 acres so far" Po-
quonock: Several sales are reported at
% to 25c. By this time nearly three
fourths of the crop has been sold." East
Haddam: Several sales of broad leaf
are reported at about 20c in the bundle.

are excellent and it seems to have been
cured we'll. Cultivator.

While the majority of industries COM
plain bitterly of the disorganization
brought about by the impending presi-
Dental election, so optimistic are the ci-
gar manufacturers that they will not
take advantage of even this excuse for
grumbling. 1t is, indeed, almost impos-
sibe to find manufacturer who does
not maintain that his business is not
fourishing as never before, and were it
not for official figures, one would be
compelled to believe that an unexampled
boom in the industry prevails. How
ever, that satisfactory degree of pros
perity prevails in the Metropolitan dis
tricts is not to be denied. For that there
is the testimony of the box makers, than
whom none are in better position to
Judge the conditions of the industry.
These latter report so heavy rush that
they have difficulty in filling their or
ders. This is in measure to be put
down to the exigencies for the holiday
trade, for which cigar manufacturers are
now making their preparations, and the
advice of the box makers is that their
customers come early and "avoid the
rush." advice which seems good even
though it may be Unconstitutional.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Nov. L, lSO4.
The tobacco men agree in the asser-
ton that the past week has been rath-
er dull one in the local trade, only few
lots having been sold, so far as can be
ascertained. Just what the trouble is
no one seems to know The prices would
seem to be all right in view of the fig
ures the growers are asking for the new
crop, and getting, too. Whatever the
cause, the transactions are few. The
sales that have come to our notice were
45Ocs of 1903 goods sold by Diller & Rut-
ter, their entire packing, and 4G0cs of
1903 goods, sold by Jacob Hoover to New
York and Baltimore parties; In all, ooO
cases. For the corresponding week of
last year the sales we're $50 cases.
The new crop has been finding many
purchasers during the past ten days. A
goodly number of buyers are in the field
and several of them large ones The
best tobacco has, Of course, the prefer
ence The hail-cut and the frost bitten
have such an uncertain value thus far,
and they will, of course. be left until the
rest of the crop is sold AS heretofore
stated, prices have stiffened, and some
sales are made that will keep the buyers
hustling to get profit out of their pur-
chases when selling time comes along.
Prices range all the way from 7 to 12c
for the best grades, and we are told even
13c has been paid for CHOICE lots, in a
few instances. We have heard OF a num-
Der of sales at 10c through, and some
partially hail-cut at s and &c.

sales were reported during the week.

New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5, II

NEW YORK, Nov. D, 1914.
The market seems to be worried, at
present, more at the shortage of stock
than at any slackness of trading The
reports of the unusual activity in the
rural tobacco growing districts would
seem to bear out this observation. In
Pennsylvania, for instance, the 1904 crop
is being cornered by two manufacturing
concerns, one from New York and the
other from Philadelphia. The 1904 Penn
sylvania crop has met with so many mis-
haps that the sound portion of it is es-
timated at not more than $4,000 boxes
and the rivalry to get hold of these is so
keen that as high as Il cents are being
paid in the bundle. This is a price at
which old seasoned Pennsylvania can be
had in the market. From country dis
tricts in other states comes the news
that there is dragnet search for any
kind of leaf no matter what it's defects
and even such as is infected with must
that smells to heaven is being bid for.
All of this goes to prove the dearth of
seed stock, which is therefore bound to
advance in price as the season advances.
In Sumatra the trading continues active.
Now that the inscriptions are over for
the year the stock on hand is likely to
be junged more equitably as to it's mer-
it's AS a whole, the crop seems to have
proved satisfactory one, both for the
manufactures and the importer. And
| more of it is certain to go into consump-
tion than in any preceding year. In
Havana leaf old stock has the chief call.
The bulk of the new Vuelta is rather
slow in curing and the first reports of
the new Remedies seem to have been
rather exaggerated. In consequence,
| manufacturers are falling back on the
old stock, which is vanishing fast from
the market.
