NEW YORK. March 20, 1905.
The attention of the market is occu-
pied more with the prospective than with
its present condition. It is the present
condition which creates this anxiety for
the future. Trading has been and con-
tinues active to such an extent as to
clean out the old stock and to limit the
future business in the new crops. But
it is about the new crops where the rub
comes in. Much higher prices have been
paid for them than the old is command
ing and the market is not hiding from
itself the disagreeableness it will have to
meet in asking higher prices when the
rush sets in with the summer season.
For there is no crop of last years growth,
the packing of which did not cause a
perceptible advance in price. The ad-
vance will be uniform in all types wheth-
er wrapper, filler or binder. For in
stance almost as much was paid for the
Pennsylvania In the bundle as the 1908
commanded in the marketable condition.
Besides the bulk of the 1904 crop was
cornered by two manufacturing firms
and only third, il so much, was left for
the packing trade. In Wisconsin other
conditions prevailed which screwed up
the prices for sound leaf. And as for
the domestic wrapper leaf everyone must
be aware by this time that perfect
craze had seized the packers even before
the tobacco was in the sheds in overbid-
ding each other, resulting in contracting
for the crop at figure almost without
precedent. On top of this extraordinary
condition in the domestic leaf situation
come the reports from the Inscriptions
telling of an average price paid for
American marks higher by aguilder than
has been paid almost for decade past
and the tobacco is being described as
not corresponding in quality or yield to
the forced up higher price. But it all
these facts are calmly contemplated they
will appear to be but the logical outcome
of the present situation which is one OF

The tone of the leaf market in this
city for the week past was decidedly
stronger than for several weeks preced-
ing the one referred to. Warehouse men
are ceasing to ride for the new and are
devoting more attention to the goods in
storage, thus the accounting for the
slight furry referred to above. Balmy
weather during the week has also caused
stir among the growers to prepare the
plant beds and the predictions about
here are that an early planting will be
made this spring. In very few places
will frost be found in the ground and
the land has been left in very mellow
state, requiring very little pulverizing
for either the planting or the seed beds.
The demand for old leaf has been at a
fair price and those so fortunate to real
ize on these prices during the week were

CONNECTICUT valley robacco Market.


Which kind of tobacco shall we raise
in the valley to suit the buyer and the
packer, broad leaf or Havana seed?
These are the two leading kinds grown
by the farmers of the valley, and these
are enough without turning to the rails
ing of tented Sumatra, for from all re-
ports the prices for the latter are not SO
high in proportion to the cost of raising
as to make it desirable for the average
farmer to indulge in, and in all probabil-
ity only the broad leaf and Havana will
be raised to any great extent for the
present. When the farmers began to
raise the Havana it was said by many
that the Havana was more preferable on
account of its easier handling, and that
was not the only reason. The buyers
liked the brand over and above the old
seed for it's better burning qualities ard
for the fine glossy appearances. At thai
time it showed a finer surface than did
the old seed, for it had been raised here
only a few years, and the shape and col
oring of the leaf we're in fine comparison
with the old seed. But the tobacco has
been raised here so long that the gloss
has faded from the surface, the lustre
has left it and it has become the color Of
the old seed. No doubt more pounds
can be raised to the acre, but its super
iority over the old seed has vanished

The market is quiet, nearly all of the
last years crop having been bought up.
It is estimated by well informed buyers
that not over 10 per cent. of the crop re-
mains in the growers hands. The indi-
cations are that there will be largely
increased acreage this year and with a
favorable season there are good pros
poets for good prices. there being short

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIs., March 81, 1905.
The buying movement is going quietly
forward in the country districts when
anything desirable is continually being
gathered in. The market is awakening
to the fact that the crop is much more
closely cleaned up than was imagined
and in many localities little remains in
growers hands. A good deal of the to-
bacco lifted of late has been of the
cheaper grades upon an export basis at
low figures, but all seems to be wanted
at price. A few of the recent trans
actions are:

The market in domestic leaf, in com

mas been somewhat dull during the past
week. However, owing to the high
prices that are being demanded for Su-

Inscriptions at Amsterdam there is an
unusual demand for Florida tobaccos

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

With the prospects of an early spring
at hand, the tobacco growers seem to be
privileged to start their seed beds for
another crop at date considerably in
advance of the average season in this
state. This is certainly an encouraging
sign. One of the requisites of a good
crop in this state is an early planting
Seed sown any time before the middle of
April. under ordinary conditions, ought
to bring plants large enough for transfer
to the fields by June 1st, an exceedingly
early date in Wisconsin. When sprouted
seed is sown growers rarely fail to have
plants in readiness by the usual trans
planting season, which is generally about
the middle of June. Earlier setting
brings the harvest too near the grain
harvest for the general farmer, SO the
latter part of August is the most usual
time for the beginning of the work. An
experiment of an earlier harvest might
be a good thing for the tobacco crop as
there could be no question about sat-
isfactory cure if the crop was shielded
during the warm months of the early
fall.

no old tobaccos to speak of to fall back
on, either in this or any other market or
in the country districts. Our giant CT
gar industry has become voracious
consumer, and the supply is not in pro-
portion to it's appetite. Far sighted
manufacturers are therefore steadily
adding to their supply, we'll knowing

They can 20 longer be used for display

The new order, it is expected, will cause
a stir among dealers. Boxes which had
been emptied of cigars, or empty, un-

factories for decorative purposes were
used by dealers to fill up shelves and
give stores appearances of fullness. This
no longer can be done, according to the

sidered most remarkable yield for a
tobacco crop, and yet some of the Con-
necticut valley growers reached that rec
ord last season, though the average of
an extraordinary good crop was around
100 pounds. Arthur B. Taylor of Mid
dlesex county, Ct grew total of 1854

gross returns for his crop were S2682.8O,

outline of his methods. "In growing
the crop, which was Havana seed, used
one ton of cottonseed meal, 500 pounds

MARY STEWART
Is CHOSEN AS
MODJESKA ROLE

Subscribers to seats for the per-
Torrance of Madam Modjeska to-
morrow night have decided that
she shall play Mary Stuart, the
play in which the great Polish
actress has, in years gone by, scor-
ed so many triumphs. Shakespear
in this play deals with this great
character in English history chief
ly during he confinement in prison.
The scenes are all laid in and
about England.
The plan of voting on the play
was adopted in order that on her
farewell tour the people might
have a chance to see her in what
they deemed her strongest role.
Spokane has chosen as has many
of the cities upon the tour thus far,
and if Modjeska still possesses but
a part of the art, the fineness and
the magnitude that characterized
her earlier performances, local
thearter goers here have a treat in
store for them.
