WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

While buying of the new crop is pro-
crossing quietly throughout most of the
growing sections, the movement is not
gaining much force and sort of indiff-
erence is noticeable among those riding,
possibly due in a measure to the cold
weather preventing the examination of
either sheds or bulks. 1t is reported the
American Cigar Co. has called in their
buyers until conditions improve. Prices
range around about the cent mark,
which seem to be ruling figures where
trades are made.
Sales coming to notice are:
T.. Marsden, Ga at Tale.
Fl. Harrison, Ga at Tale.
O. Viney, Ia at 71a&1c.
Henry Hamre, Ga at 7114&1c.
Peter Olson, 3a at 7&1c.
Christianson & Kumlein, 3a at Tale.
Chris. Olson, 5a at 7&1c.
A. P. johnson, 16a at 61a&lc.
The frozen condition of the tobacco is
holding back the work of stripping and
is also responsible for good deal of
broken leaf if they attempt to handle it
during the cold weather. Growers also
find much of their tobacco was taken
down in too light case in their hurry to
remove the crop from the sheds. A few
deliveries have been made during the
week and couple of warehouses in this
market have opened, but war mer wealth
er must come before general warehouse
movement can take place.
Old goods are receiving but slight at
tention at present. l.. B. Carle reports
the sale of 1OOcs and the purchase of a
50cs lot for the week. f. S. Baines sold
60 cases.
The shipments out of storage reach
600cs from this market to all points for
the week.

Itis almost pitiful to read the testi
mony given by Southern tobacco grow
ers before the Congressional committee
having charge of the bill permitting
growers to sell their product in any form
conditions which they describe show the
industry to be in a. bad way, and the re-
result invaria bly, attributed to the grasp
ing hand of the great tobacco trust. One
farmer said that he was mo speaker,
but a humble farmer. It cost SIX cents
per pound to raise tobacco in Robinson
county, and only about three or four
cents was received for it, where it used
to bring twenty cents per pound. 1t
was the most slavish crop in the coun-
try, requiring attention from sun up to
sun down, fifteen hours day and fifteen
months to the crop. Another said he
had been in the business for seventeen
years. and where formerly there would
be forty to fifty buyers, the American
Tobacco company sends one man, who
says he will give three and half Or four
cents per pound, which the farmer has
to take or he cannot effect sale. They
had formerly tried to send their tobacco
to Bremen, to be sold in the open mar
ket. In opposition, the American To-
bacco Co. had shipped to Bremen this
year quantity of it's reserve stock and
sold it at the same price it brought in
this country, SO that the independent
shippers lost money on every pound they
sold in Bremen. Col. Cunningham, who
appeared before the committee, explain
ed that formerly there we're number of
buyers from England, but now they had
combined in the Imperial Tobacco Co.
and there was no competition from this
source. Illustrating the deplorable con-
dition Of the tobacco farmers he told a
story of farmer who took load of to-
bacco to market, and when he had sold
it, he went to the cashier for his check,
and was told his load of tobacco had not
brought enough to pay his warehouse
charges and that he was still owing 25
cents. The farmer wanted to know
what to do about it, and the cashier told
him when he came to town again to
bring him a rooster: and SO in a few
days he came back and had his basket
on his arm and went to the cashiers
Office and told him he was ready to set
tie up. The cashier looked into the
farmers basket and said, "Mr. Smith,
you have two roosters. and | only told
you to bring me one" But" said Mr..
Smith, Il have brought you another load
of tobacco

Much of the tobacco taken down in

piles by the severe cold weather imme-
diately following, so it cannot be han
died. A few small crops have been
stripped.
O. r. Pomeroy shipped car of 1908
goods from Gays Mill Saturday, Feb. 13.
This is the first movement of the crop
from this section. Harry Pomeroy OF
Madison University received the goods
for his father, who is confined in sani-
tarium at Prairie du Chen with a Sc
verely strained side, caused by a fall
0. X. Roe, Iner Peterson and 0. j. Jen-
son are riding in the vicinity of Soldiers
Grove. H. S. McGiffin, with local help,
is operating from Gays Mill and Mt.
Sterling. It is reported that 0. K. Roe
has purchased the warehouse at Soldiers
Grove formerly occupiedlby Sutter Bros.
P. M. Peck and Dan Reynolds of Gays
Mill sold their crops for 8&2c and 1890
respectively. G. Lilly and John Hereid
of Mt. Sterling sold for 7&2c, which
seems to be the ruling price for ridge to-
bacco, aside from extra choice goods.
The people of Gays Mill are jubilant
over the assurance of a warehouse to be
erected next summer by 0. r. Pomeroy.
This is much needed improvement and
will be welcomed by the farmers as we'll
as the village people.

New YORK. Feb. 13, 1904.
Not much animation was visible in the
leaf market during the past week. A
lack of confidence seems to have seized
upon the trade on account of the finan-
cial catastrophe of last November and
it's ramifcations, lack which is being
still more aggravated by the late reports
of some more financial troubles. The
credit system is being thus undermined
and when credit, the foundation of busi-
ness, is shaken, it's volume must natur-
ally find itself restricted too. On the
other hand, the stock is unusually deci-
mated and does hardly offer any oppor-
tunity for large transactions. AS the
business from August to the close of
last year was phenominally heavy, stocks
have been depleted to such an extent
that some houses have but remnants
left and will have to pass many months
in idleness till the new crops become
marketable Journal.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1904-02-19

A dealer who was out through the
growing sections the other day reports
that he saw four different growers shov-
cling snow onto piles of tobacco that
had been taken down in too light case.
The fact above was sufficient notice to
him that buyer was taking long
chances ia making contracts at the pres
ent condition of things. If this practice
prevails to any extent there is likely to
be plenty of damaged tobacco found in
the packings next fall at sampling time.
A New England authority says it is i'm
possible to apply water by any of the ap-
pliances of modern times even without
the greatest amount of caution. Even
then the cropis often injured to quite
an extent; not only by the amount OF
water upon the crop, but, in not prop
erly caring for it after wetting. After
applying water, even with an atomizer
the tobacco should be packed away un-
til it has lain in small, loose hake for a
few hours But as most farmers use
water with brush, the water stands in
drops, some of them quite large. The
effect is that the affinity of water for
water will work the mischief: for one
drop coming close to another drop will
have tendency to draw through and
join hands with its own kind, thus max
.ng large damp place or. a leaf, causing
mildew and hard sweat in that spot

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

: The delivery of the new crop has pro-
ceeded far enough to estab blish some few
characteristics that will become pecu-
liar to the crop itself. One of these is
that the yield will prove much lighter
than was expected. So far but few crop
lots have averaged above 1900 pounds
per acre, which is considerably below
the standard of this state, and should
the showing hold good the aggregate
yield must be reduced from the general
estimate. While most of the leaf is sat-
isfactory as to size, there is more than
the usual percentage of trashy stuff. es-
pecially among the filler grades that can
scarcely be counted merchantable goods.
The leaf is decidedly thin and in some
cases tending towards papery nature,
causing some doubt as to the possible
outcome after passing through the
sweat. While the colors are gener-
ally light, there is some complaint that
it is not as uniform as in other years.
Packers, however, are free to state that
they find the tobacco about as they ex-
pected from crop grown under the ex-
listing circumstances, and are therefore
not much disappointed, except at the
large percentage of shed burn found
The tobacco is coming to the warehouse
in rather light case. which is considered
a good fault.
