over the country were up in arms against
it. Wrath and indignation thereat
among all classes and Branches of the
trade knew no bounds. Ruin was pre-
dicted for the entire trade, extinction of
every individual concern was held in
view. Congress was stormed with petit
tions to end the craze, but dillydallied
and Tawney's anti-coupon bill failed. In
the meanwhile the Independents took a
leaf out of the trusts proceedings and
Joined the craze. Hence the collapse.
Like all highly speculative enterprises
the coupon craze could only succeed
were it's objects realized quickly. 1t was
speculative both as the great expense
involved and the great stakes for which
it was played. The stakes were the con-
troll of the smokers supply. If such a
control could have been obtained, the
enormous expense in getting it could
have been reimbursed afterwards in
many a way. But just when the coupon
craze was at it's height and the public
readiest to be baited the Independents
too turned out its coupon bats and the
public became bewildered, embarrassed
by the wealth of coupons, certificates
and premiums. It then became an every
day affair, and everyday affairs can't be
monopolized. The public paused, and
the reaction set in. In consequence the
trust withdraws from this demoralizing
craze. Result loss of about ten mil
lion dollars as credibly estimated. u. S.

on, and there is a likelihood of dull
market for some time to come. Packers
are still examining their 1904 goods, and
there is little improvement in the situa,
tion as described one week ago.
The past week was very favorable to
the growing crop. Very warm weather
has followed the frequent showers for
merly reported, and the young plants ap-
pear trying to make up for lost time.
The cut worms have also ceased their
ravages, so that the outlook has cleared
considerably so far as the early draw
backs of the season are concerned.
We had visit from our young friend,
David Bricker, who is home on visit to
his father, Captain John r. 8ricker, after
three years continuous residence in
Florida and Cuba, in the employ of the
American Tobacco Company. He has
much to tell about tobacco growing in
Cuba, where the American Tobacco Co.
last year grew 600 acres, their seed beds
alone covering thirty acres. He says the
cut worms down there are few, but the
tobacco worms pass all attempts at emu
meration. The natives grow from 450 to
900 pounds to the acre, but the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co. does far better. The,
small weight per acre arises from the
non use of fertilizers. The natives by
their open air methods raise only about
10 per cent of wrappers, while the Amer
ican Tobacco Co. generally has about so
per cent.

The approach of dog days is making
itself felt in the trade, and an interval of
dullness is experienced. Some trans
actions have occurred in 1903 Pennsyl-

ever. before the good old filler stock is
exhausted. From all reports the 1904
crops are going through heavy sweat,
and the packers who paid high prices
originally are naturally anxious that no
damage occur to further increase the
cost of the goods.
Reports from Georgia and Florida in
dicate that the 1905 crop of tobacco will
be the largest and finest yet produced in
those States. Both Florida Havana and
Florida Sumatra have won an enviable
place in the market, ard both promise to
increase in Importance with the years.
The secret of their success is the patient
evolution of permanent type, the care

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The crops are growing very fast, es-
peciaily tobacco that was set before the
last good shower. [ have seen some
fields where dining plates would not
make cover for the plants, and some
that will stand eight or ten inches high.
Such field gives good promise of grow
ing tobacco that will pay to raise. The
crop will probably be early enough to
cure down before the cold weather OF
fall comes on to pinch the sap out of the
hanging plants. 1t may be too early to
suit some of the late settlers. But keep
in mind the old saying, "If you do not
NOW you cannot cart hay" and crop OF
tobacco got into the sheds and cured
down and stripped out early is the crop
that sells But the one that the frost
threatens is the crop that comes down
late, is stripped late, and is sold late, if
sold at all. It is bother all through,
for you cannot begin haying until the
crop is hoed enough to leave for few
days, and then it must be hoed in wealth
er when you cannot hay and when weeds
have got started. Hoed early in warm
dry weather the weeds are killed and the
ground is clean, and the field is pleas
ant thing to think of.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Feeding Hills, Mass: Tobacco setting
is practically finished for this year, ex-
cept where the cut worms and wire
worms have worked. These worms have
been more numerous this year than us
ual. I have made practice of blowing
in the fall and seeding to rye and am not
troubled to any great extent" North
field, Mass: 'Those who intend raising
tobacco this year are busy setting it out.
Plants are scarce. The dry season made
it impossible to grow them. There will
be smaller acreage this year. The old
crop is all sold." Bradstreet, Mass: "To

the crop is we'll started. We notice
some pieces where plants we're thick on

To all outward appearances the buy
ing movement is about drawn to a close.
The country districts are so closely
secured of all cured leaf that riding is
suspended and transactions from first
hands have become rare indeed.
Packers report very quiet market
for old stock and sales confined to small
lots, though there is still fair demand
for good binder stock. The principal
work carried on at the warehouses is
stripping filler stock, which finds en-
ployment for quite an amount of labor.
The planting of the new crop is pro-
ceeding under very favorable conditions.
The weather of the week has been cool
contributing to securing a good stand
and the week will very nearly see she
end of transplanting in ali sections, so
the crop will be out fairly early. The
first set fields have already gained a
good start and are looking finely.
The shipments out of storage reflect a
dull leaf market at the sale centers, not
more than 300 cases from this market to
all points for the week past.

Business continues active in the mar
ket in such supplies as can be had and
correspond to the eternally squeezing
down process by the buyer. This policy
of buying at the lowest possible rate
may be justified on economic grounds,
but it does not always appear the
soundest and wisest one when confront
ed with conditions as they actually exist
now in the market. Manufacturers seem
to rely too much on the antequated no.
tion that tobacco can always be had, but
instances are now plentiful where manu-
facturers trying to squeeze down the
original packer quarter of cent on
goods they were actually in need of had
to pay from one to two cents more for
identically the same lots because they
had in the meantime changed hands
twice. The sooner therefore the manu-
facturer can disabuse his mind from his
faith that tobacco can always be had,
the easier his mind will be to provide his
supply at the proper time and at the
actual market value. And to do so is
the more economic policy. For time and
worry saved is also an equivalent OF
money value. He who let's his stock run
down or run out altogether as it is hap
pening now almost daily with manufac-
turers, because of deceptive expecta-
ton that the new crop might bring in
better goods at lower price is simply
speculating on a losing game For il
any future event can be anticipated with
any certainty it is the one that the leai
supply of all grades and types will not
command lower prices in the near future
Quite the contrary. When the season
for the new crop opens at the close OF
the summer Or the beginning of the fall
buyers will find sitter market than
ever before. And it will not be the pack
er, importer, or dealer who will be re-
sponsible for the higher price, but the
grower who compelled the intermediary
to day him the advance. Nor should the
manufacturer be so surprised at it. His
business has been increasing wonder
fully for the past seven or eight years
from year to year and month to month
absorbing an ever increasing supply OF
raw material, while the increase in the
production of raw material has not kept
pace proportionately. Consequently q
greater shortage is manifesting itself
from year to year with the result that
the former asks and gets a proportionate
advance for his product. This advance
amounts on nearly all lines to from 70 to
so per cent. How then can a manufac-
turer expect lower prices? Those, there
fore who are taking advantage of the
offerings still in the market would seem
to act on a truly economic policy
