Bad roads put damper on the new
leaf business in this section during the
past week and as a consequence the
dealers are not riding to any extent.
The same obstacle applies to the deliv-
cry of leaf that was bought at an earlier
date and but few of the warehouses
are running their asserting rooms as the
result. Neither was there good bust
ness done in old goods and the deals are
few and as follows: L. B. Carle & Son
buy 300cs, 35 of which was '99 leaf and
the balance 1902 and sell 15Ocs of 'O3;
A. N. Jones shipped car of '02; M. F.
Green ships l car of 'O3 to the Cincinnati
market and G. Ell. Rumrill received 8
cars of old goods aud sold 142 boxes of

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Feb. q. 1905:

LANCASTER New ERA, Feb. q, 1905:
More snow and extremely cold wealth
Ell have taken the edge off the sharp
trading seen several weeks ago. The
growers have been doing their best to
make deliveries when the weather per-
mitted, but one snowfall after another
has kept the roads in bad travelling con-
dition, so that even that branch of the
trade has not been as lively as it would
otherwise have been. The shipments OF
new tobacco to this city from country
points have been very large, the largest
in brief period we have ever known.
From one station on the Pennsylvania
railroad as many as twenty-five carloads
were sent to packers in this city.
The trade in cased tobacco during the
past week was very limited. The few
sales made were so small in value that
dealers did not care to see them re-
ported.
We are having damp weather, which
will give ample opportunity to those who
have not yet stripped their tobacco or
only partially, to complete that work.
There is still some tobacco for sale, but,
as rule the merchantable goods are
pretty we'll bought up. There is some
buying OF the frosted article, but, as a
rule, the average packer fights shy OF
that article.

Connections Valley Tobacco Market.

The close of February witnesses very
small portion of the '04 tobacco crop OF
New England remaining in first hands.
In many parts of the Connecticut valley
practically the entire output is sold.
Some OF the best posted tobacco men of
the district reported to The Homestead
this week that, averaging the valley
through, they believed fully 95 per cent.
of the 'O4 crop has been contracted. A
few resident buyers who have been clay
ing low" the last two or three weeks in
the expectation of seeing the remainder
OF the crop work off sluggishly and at
cheaper prices have been treated to a
surprise. They had in mind a list Of
farmers who still owned tobacco in late
January and visited these, only to fird
that about five crops out of seven haH
been picked up in the interim.
The situation in New England pre-
sents quite contrast to that of a year
ago. Then, tnuchlarger percentage Of
the crop remained unsold, and existing
prices were depressing. Many good lots
of tobacco were changing hands in north
ern Connecticut at to 1Oc per pound,
and inferior crops were going for song.
While all. but about 5 per cent of the
last crop has been sold, not that much
has been delivered. The protracted cold
weather has resulted in few farmers
here and there being retarded in remov-
ing all their tobacco from the poles. or
course the quantity of leaf thus tied up
is notably small. It is safe to say that
over SO per cent. OF the crop has been
delivered; possibly nearer Is per ceat.--

Tobacco and BeetS.

In communication to a local paper
/ Mr.. G. j. Hesgard of Orfordvile dis
cussed the sugar beet and tobacco prop
osition as follows:
| am glad to see the interest the Reg
| lister takes in the sugar beet question, by
publishing letters and articles concern
| ing this industry. | have been asked to
give my opinion and experience in re-
gard to beets. AS tobacco man, I wish
to say that I have repeatedly stated.
| both publicly and privately, that the
beet industry is welcomed by every deal
! er in good tobacco and not put up
scheme to have the farmer stop growing
them.
Beet growing induces farmers no
have not had good success with tobacco
| to take up the beet growing. It induces
tobacco growers to cut out some of their
poorer (that is not so favorable land) and
put it into beets. What does that mean
to the grower and the dealer? The an
swer is plain to all thinking men, less to-
bacco, better quality and higher. price.
Don't you:see we are after more money
to the acre for our tobacco? Now tnen,
as beet grower, | wish to say, / bad
four acres in beets last year and had
splendid stand. Three of these acres
were tobacco land, fertilized four years
in succession, and would have grown as
good tobacco as nay other tobacco land.
which brought nae S134 go an acre net on
scales at Orfordville. But what did my
beets bring? Why, only SOFIA per acre
net weight at GAINESVILLE factory You
see there is terrible shrinkage from
Orfordville to the factory, from one to
nd half ~
the seed and the freight must come out
ano tnen the factosy managers are SD
awful honest. They come out when
they want you to sign contracts and tell
you, beets delivered in October won't
test so much as, beets delivered Ia De-
cember, advising you pot to be in hurry
to deliver your beets for you will gain in
test and then that 25c ton, you know.
Let's see if they told the truth L ship
ped one car October 28th, testing I5 per
cent. sugar, and one car December 9Th,
testing 131a per cent sugar. The tare
on the first car was 311a per cent. and on
the last car 51a per cent. dirt. You see
there we're some beets spoiled at the fac
tory and suppose | had to stand my
share as | am not the only one. Did I
gain anything by their honest advice,
keeping my beets one month on the field.
losing ia weight, tare and test to get the
% cents ton in advance, and then the
last car loaded December 9TH?
In conclusion allow me to say, if you
intend to grow beets join the association,
it is growing stronger than ever and has
not gone to pieces as the beet factories
claim. Why? Because its object is to
promote and protect the sugar beet
growing industry. Volumes could be
written on the wrongs of this industry
as practiced by the factories, but you
try it once and you will say like the rest
of US. that it is unfair and that you have
enough of beet growing, at the present
price OF beets.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, March 3, 1905


A good deal of activity has again de-
veloped in the buying movement in all
sections and the aggregate sales Of the
week have been among the largest of
the year, though prices will average
lower than any previously paid for the
crop. The season has arrived when
growers desire to dispose of their tobac-
co and apparently stand ready to accept
prices that heretofore were considered
too low. Buyers who are riding exten-
sively assert that not more than 20 per
cent of the crop remains unsold Here
are few samples of prevailing figures:
John Kramer, 10a at 7&1c.
And Danielson, la at 71s&2c.
S. johnson, 66a at 7&1c.
P. Ullius, l5a at 51s&2c.
P. n. johnson, Ia at SC.
G. E. Langworthy, 10a at &c.

Old leaf is also receiving considerable
attention in all quarters. There is
good demand for serviceable binders as
we'll as the cheaper grades c.. r. Bent
ley has recently disposed of something
like 500 cases to New York and local par
ties.
A few days of casing weather extend
ing over the entire state has permitted
growers to remove the balance of the
hanging tobacco and the warehouse
handling which has been delayed, can
now. go forward without interruption.
The shipments out of storage have
been liberal, amounting to 35 car loads,
1872 cases, for the week to all points from
this market.

NEW YORK, Feb. 70, lSOo.
There is no abatement noticeable in
the activity of the leaf market. The seed
stock is vanishing very fast; so fast, in
fact, that it will be exhausted, in some
types, before succor comes from the new
crop. The 1903 Pennsylvania is still
running as favorite with thinner in
unabated demand And Wisconsin fol-
lows closely as the indispensable binder
stock. The scarcity of the domestic
wrapper leaf is best demonstrated by
the sharp inquiry for new Connecticut
broad leaf which cannot possibly become
marketabl before mid summer. In this
emergency Sumatra has to help out, but
of late complaints have thickened at the
unsatisfactory yield of much of last
years importations. In consequence,
purchasers have become somewhat re-
served, deferring more liberal invest
ment till the result of the first inscrip-
tion of the new crop becomes known. In
the Havana market no change is to be
reported. Old goods command fair
prices, as well as quick sales. Every one
returning from Cuba becomes involun-
tarily drummer for old stock, inasmuch
as he confirms the baroness Of it in the
Cuban market. Journal.
New YORK, Feb y, 1905
During the past week the volume of
business has considerably diminished in
domestic leaf, and the market has not
been so buoyant as during the first six
weeks of tie year. However, conditions
are very healthy with sufficient anima-
tion in the market to sustain prices and
keep up the appearance of activity.
Sumatra. Although in this class OF
tobacco the stocks are very limited, sales
are being made every way and in a linn
tied way considerable activity is evi-
denced. Most of the buyers for the Su-
matra importing houses have already
left, or leave in the course of a week, to
be present at the spring inscriptions.
