NUMBER As

that quite number of the farmers who
are not engulfed with onions are taking
down some of their tobacco these damp,
foggy mornings. But there will be some
that will not trouble themselves with
stripping tobacco at present, I think, for
during the last eight days our local mer-
chant has weighed on an average so
loads of onions per day, with the average
load about 70 bushels, as he told me to-
day, and this is only one of the onion
stations. There were many loads put
into cars without weighing Perhaps
onions may in time become as much of
crop as tobacco is now. I hear of no
sales being made in this vicinity during
the past week, probably owing to the ex-
odus of the packers to the tobacco fields
of Wisconsin, but when they have pick
ed up enough old Wisconsin to allow
them to play with the manufacturers for
another short SPELL they may take a
turn among the growers of the Connecti-
cut valley. Let us hope so, for we all
wish the tobacco crop to move, so that
we as individuals, may be able to re-
ceive the little that may be coming to
us.-Cultivator.

AANCaSTHH NEW GRA, OCt. ., 1OOO
Brisk trading took place last week in
the 1904 tobacco. about all the old
goods there are on the local market, and
while only one dealer reports large sales.
the aggregate of all the sales is large.
Most of the 1904 goods have now passed
out of the hands of the original packers,
going, lately. into the hands of the job
bers, who will work it off in small lots,
though it is doubtful if they will have
very much in the way Of profits, unless
manufacturers find themselves pinched
for these goods. The heaviest sales were
those of A. X. Mann, of Millersville, who
is credited with sales totalling 1800cs
The new crop is still going steadily
the prices being about IL and II cents
pound, with particularly choice lots
trife over II cents Some of our dealers
have beer holding off from buying, Civ
ing others chance to absorb what they
wanted, with the expectation that there
would be plenty left at reasonable prices.
These "holdbacks" are now worrying
over the situation, for it begins to look
as though the whole crop would soon be
absorbed. The tobacco appears to be
curing nicely, and everything is favor
able to the making of good crop.
The cigar industry continues satisfac-
tory. All of our factories are operating,
and many are on the hunt after good
hand workers.

NEW YORK. Oct. 4. 1905.

The new Wisconsin is being gobbled
up as fast as it appears, and lively bus
mess in this type is expected, the samples
that have reached the market show it to
be sound and desirable. One especially
big sale is reported in another column.
At the rate at which the Pennsylvania
Broad leaf BIS are selling, the entire
market will be out of first hands shortly.
One firm reports the sale of four thous-
and cases during the past week and
prices ranging from Is to 16 cents. The
demand comes from all portions of the
country, and the call for samples is
greater than the supply. A new record
for the season was reached last week in
the price of Connecticut Broad leaf, a
few fancy cases bringing 0O-cents.

co has been steady, it being very evident
from the last inscription and from re-

that the promise for desirable tobacco

advancing prices for the little that re-
mains of old stock, consisting chiefly of

Result of the Texas Tobacco Harvest.


There were about 300 acres planted in
east Texas this year around Nacogdoches
and Palestine, and about 25 acres addi-
tional in south Texas in Lavaca county.
Owing to the heavy rains in these Sec
tions during the growing season, the
yield was not as heavy as was expected,
but will average about 700 pounds to
the acre. Of the 800 acres in east Texas
25 acres were grown under shade, e rht
acres being raised from imported Ha-
vana seed and II acres from imported
Sumatra seed.
The yield under shade will be, when
cured, about 900 pounds per acre. All of
this tobacco was raised by farmers under
government supervision - the govern,
ment having Ii instructors constantly in
the field, and although being disappoint-
ed in the yield, the quality could not be
finer, nor could the aroma be improved
This tobacco is being cured in bulk and
has been in the sweat since about Aug
ust 1. One firm, the Havana Sumatra
Co, located at Nacogdoches and Pales-
tine, bought all that was raised and con-
traced for nearly all before the seed was
sowed. Nearly all crops sold early at l5c
per pound. The few small lots that
were not contracted have since been sold
to this company for Zoe per pound as
soon as stripped from the stalks. All to-
baeco has been delivered and is now 60
ing through the curing process.

Washington dispatches bring the in
formation that Secretary Taft is about
to formulate his plan to secure free ad-
mission of Philippine products. 1t is
believed that the situation is compre-
hensively and accurately summed up in
the statement that the advantage gained
by Secretary Taft is in the form of
pledges from members of the Ways and
Means Committee, that free trade bill
will be reported to the house at a com
paratively early date in the coming ses-
sion. There are three important fac
tions that will oppose Secretary Taft's
plans with regard to the Philippine rev.
enue. These include: First, the stand
pat republicans who do not want the
tariff question to be opened early in the
coming congress, or at any time, for that
matter; second, the representatives of
tobacco and beet sugar constituencies
who oppose the specific proposition of
free trade with the Philippines; and
third, the bulk of the democratic minor
ity who will vote against special order
for the consideration of the Philippine
tariff bill if it deprives them of an oppor
tunity of incorporating amendments
making important notifications in the
general schedules of the Dingley act.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO CROPS.

The yield of cigar leaf per acre has
proved up to the average in most states,
and in Pennsylvania and New York has
run very heavy. At one time it was
feared dry weather would seriously cut
down returns in New England, but for
tunately during the latter part of the
maturing period rains were abundant
and growth more rapid, bringing the
crop up to the average. Occasionally,
some tracts in New England are giving
as big returns as last season. The Wis
consin yield has averaged heavier than
last year.
AS to prices, it can be stated that the
outlook is encouraging. It is estimated
that rs per cent. of the new crop is al
ready under contract in Wisconsin at an
average price slightly exceeding l0c per
pound for wrapper and binder grades,
and &c for filters. This average for crops
is about &c pound above 1904, and &c
or more above that of 1903.
In Ohio buyers are manifesting con-
siderable interest in the new crop, nu-
merous sales being noted at range of
7 to Sc per pound. In some districts
visited by hail, damaged crops have sold
around and 4c. Pennsylvania is an
other state where large part of the
crop has been contracted; the range
there is mainly 10 to 13c per pound for
seed leaf.
In New York state sales are progress
ing rapidly. Reports from several towns
that are prominent factors in tobacco
culture say that 30 10 so per cent. of the
1905 crop has been disposed of, prices
ruling satisfactory, the average being 10
rs until ho fo 40
The sales situation in New England Of
fers contrast to last fall. Then, it will
be remembered, broadleaf was the first
type to sell, moving early at fancy prices.
This year HaYana is the tobacco that is
catching the eye of early buyers. In
leading districts of Connecticut and
Massachusetts, from % per cent. to as
high as 70 per cent. of the Havana crop
has now been contracted. The market
for broad leaf has not opened, except in
a desultory way. Growers are confident
that once the movement begun, prices
will be encouraging.

Buyers are doing less riding in the
growing districts than heretofore and
trading is Stacking away, though a quiet
hunt is still maintained for both old and
new goods
There is plenty of inquiry for old
stock, especially of the cheaper grades,
which are now becoming scarce, but
transactions are generally of moderate
sized lots. O. Klongland sold 41cs of 'O4
at 10, 5&3c; Chris Felland, 3Ocs 'O4 at

sether, Goes 'O3 and '04.
Sampling is still going forward with
the 1904, but as yet few packers are
ready to expose their goods for sale.
The new crop is now so fairly we'll
cured that stripping may be commenced
when the first casing weather appears,
but the growers generally are not yet
ready to take up this work.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 500 cases from this market to all

New YORK. Oct. 7, 1905.

The market this week did not present
any features for special comment. 1t is
the same story becoming threadbare al
most of steady demand, advancing price
and rapidly vanishing stock. AS the re-
ports from the chief cigar manufacture
ing centers of the country as published
in this issue show again considerable
increase in the cigar output for the
month of September, the reflection of it
on the steadying condition of the leaf
market is but natural. The constant in
crease by many millions every month in
the production and consumption of ci-
gars must cause proportionate increase
in the absorption of leaf tobacco and if
the supply is not in excess to the grow
ing demand then the inadequate supply
must appreciate in value.-Journal.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The unusual movement in low grades
that has been going on for the past six
months seems very shortly to have
worked itself out for the lack of material
to trade in. This class of goods has been
hunted so closely that very little now re-
mains, either in the hands of packers or
in the country. The accumulation of
number of cheap crops that was on hand
year ago, for which there was scarcely
any demand, has through one of the
freaks of the tobacco business become
the most active trading stock of the sea-
son. 1t has proven a fruitful field for
the small local dealers who have been
able to turn their holdings that did not
require large investments quickly, with
certain profits. Although the margins
were generally small, the strong demand
for this class of goods made them busy
season and in the aggregate most sat
isfactory business. Probably equivalent
to fifty to seventy-fve thousand cases of
low grades have gone out of Wisconsin
since the movement began and the strip
pers and stogie manufacturers have been
able to lay aside stocks sufficient for
some time to come The era of cheap
tobaccos is about at an end for the pres
ent and the small trader is beginning to
wonder what he will find to do to turn
an honest penny for the coming year.
Certainly his occupation is gone until
other crops are grown.

The N. E. Homestead has prepared it's
annual review of the 1905 cigar leaf crop
of which the following is summary:
This years commercial cigar leaf to-
bacco crop of the United States shows a
somewhat larger total than last season.
The crop of 1904 fell slightly under 15O.-
100000 pounds. This year there we're
harvested nearly 156,O00,O00 pounds.
Roughly speaking, the 1905 crop means
S20,0OO,000 to S30,0OO000 to growers if
prices continue as they have opened
Our special advices carefully tabulated
show the total yield to approximate
444, 700 commercial cases of $50 pounds
each. Primarily it might be stated that
the moderate enlargement in the crop is
due to expansion in the acreage. The
total area set out to tobacco in the cigar
leaf states last spring showed a general
increase of about per cent. It is not
able that the acreage was expanded
naost perceptibly in the Connecticut riv-
er valley in New England, in New York
and Pennsylvania and the South. The
enlargement in Ohio proved very slight
Wisconsin recorded shrinkage in the
area devoted to the crop.

This has been one of the remarkably
quiet weeks, perhaps the most so of the
season. A great deal of uneasiness has
been apparent among tobacco men of
this locality as to the weather conditions
that have prevailed of late, all fearing a
too rapid cure of the hanging leaf. But
aside from this little is the worry of
either the grower or the buyer. The
sales and shipments were also on the
quiet order, those making any good sized
deals for the week we're: S. B. He'd

The damage to tobacco through the
agency of hail this year has proved the
greatest in many seasons. It is not pos
sible to estimate the loss with any de-
gree of exactness, yet it is safe to say
that 100000 or 100000 worth of
fine leaf was either partially or wholly
damaged by hail at some time during
the season. Wisconsin proved the heavi-
est sufferer, as the main producing to-
bacco counties of that state were raw
aged.
