WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Jan. 6, 1905

leaf from the curing sheds and stripping
is being pushed as rapidly as possible in
the country districts. Now that the
great bulk of the crop is down and in
condition for a critical examination buy
ers are venturing out again and re-
sumption of the buying Emovement is
confidently expected.
A few deliveries have commenced to
arrive at the warehouses and enough is
already stripped to start warehouse han
ding at several market points the COM
ing week, and others will follow shortly.
Packers who have contracts booked for
large acreage are anxious to get the as
sorting business under way. The United
Cigar Manufacturers will begin handling
the crop at Edgerton, Viola and Portage
the coming week.
Old leaf is still being vigorously hunt
ed in country hands and the movement
shows but little elimination, though
the remnants left are continually being
reduced, with prospect that it will be
closely gathered up while it can be lifted
at low prices. Mrs. Lee sold 24cs '03 at
5, 2&1c.
Reports coming from the western por-
tion of the state are that growers were
not so fortunate in getting down as large
a portion of the hanging crop last week
as in this locality.
The shipments out of storage reach
5S8cs from this market to all points for
the week past
EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Jan. 4, 1904.
Unloading of old leaf continues to pre-
vail here in good sized lots and the
dealers seem TO have started out with
the new year with vim, anxiously wait
ing for the growers to get their crops
bundled and ready for inspection. 1t is
safe to state that the riding end of the
| business will be we'll under way before
another week passes by.
Sampling of old goods is taking place
here of late and some large packings
have passed the inspectors. At the nj.
F. Green warehouse 25O0cs are being in
spected. This lot is composed of 1902
and 1903 leaf. A good sized packing of
1902 high grade tops are undergoing in
spection at the J. A. Ryan place. There
| is not a finer packing to be foundin the
| state than this one.

The recent case weather has given life
| to the tobacco market, and dealers will
| begin looking for 1904 goods in week
| or ten days, when the farmers will have
bundled a sufficient amount to give a
! fair idea of the crops condition The
impression is quite general that 1904 will
! be satisfactory Old goods have been in
great demand, but at lower figures; how
ever. choice packings are being disposed
| of at remunerative prices. 0. X. Roe re-
ports a number of deals on choice goods
! as follows:
90. Cherry, 47cs 'O2 at TIC straight;
0. O. Melaas, 39cs 'O2 at 10c straight; Ell.

Tobacco men are feeling quite jubilant
as the moist weather of the first of the
week enabled them to get their tobacco
out of the sheds. Every body got some
down and some got all their tobacco
down. Last year, March had arrived
before bit of tobacco had been taken
down. The warehouses will probably
commence operations shortly after the,
holidays.
VIRooUA, WIS, Dec %, 1904.
Satisfaction was depicted on the coun-
tenance of every farmer one met last
Thursday on account of the fine pros
pect for case weather. Foggy and damp
