The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1906-07-27

According to Julius Marqusee, the
well-knoWn leaf packer, whose brilliant
and daring operations in Wisconsin to-
bacco have made him one of the most
prominent figures in the trade, the strin-
gency in the Wisconsin tobacco market
will not only not be relaxed, but will be
immensely intensified within a year from
now. AS to what will come later, no man
can tell, though the notion of surplus
of Wisconsin binders appears to be en-
tirely thing Of the past. "You can put
it down." said Mr.. Marqusee, that Wis
consin tobacco will be selling at from 80
cents to 35 cents per pound within the
next twelve months The situation is
absolutely unprecedented in the annals
cleaned up. The supply of the 1904 and
previous crops is all gone long ago. L
could not secure 500 cases were [ to pay
ST. pound for it. The 1905 crop will
probably come on the market about No
vember. Usually it is later, but this
year, owing to the scarcity, it will prob
ably be hurried. In the meantime not a
pound will be added to the supply. Fur
thermore, the new tobacco cannot be
used till the spring, after the cold wealth
er, so that it will be seven or eight
months before the stress in the industry
is at all relieved. In the meantime the
situation, naturally. is a hard one for the
manufacturers. The big ones, of course,
laid in. stocks to carry them over the
emergency, but many Of the middle-sized
and little concerns have been compelled
to put up with substitute. Aud even
when the new tobacco is available, the
scarcity will be but little lessened, for
demand is steadily increasing, stocks
will be completely exhausted, and the
1905 crop, which must necessarily con-
stitute the whole source of supply, was
an unusually small one" Concerning
what would come later, Mr.. Marqusee
did not express an opinion, but he
strongly deprecated speculative buying
of the 1906 crop, declaring that he would
have nothing to do with such crazy"
methods. Such prices as Mr.. Marqusee
predicts in the above interview from the
New York Tobacco Journal must GER
tainly lead to substitutions in the binder
market. The manufacturers can hardly
afford to pay such prices for Wisconsin
when other leaf may be had at less fig

A prominent tobacco buyer informs US
that this is the only season he can re-
member when the ''tail end" of crop
was bought first, basing his opinion on
the fact that those growers who we're
willing to sell before the crop was grown
were mainly class of farmers who rare
ly received the average prices. That so
much tobacco has been contracted for
in the southern sections at around ten
cents is accounted for by him because
ten cents looked awful good to the grow
er that never before was able to ob-
tain that price. The up-to- date tobacco
growers, who keep posted on market
conditions, and pride themselves on
producing a good article of leaf, are gen.
orally the men who will not put price
upon the crop until it is ready to sell.
On the other hand it was the careless,
slipshod farmer or those influenced by
the extraordinary fattering prices that
have made possible the contracting of
several thousand of acres of crop be-
fore it was grown. Under such condi-
tions no buyer is able to say he is getting
selections, as is usually the case of the
first sales. At this stage of the game no
one is able to say what sections will pro-
duce the best tobacco of the 1906 crop.

This Ought to Hold EN-

Among the resolutions adopted by the
Trigg County (Ky.) Dark Tobacco Grow
ers' Association in recent meeting we're:
"That no land owner in the county who
is member of the Tobacco Association
shall permit tenant to work his land
who will not pledge his tobacco to the
association before he begins to make the
crop; that no tenant who is a member of
the association will work the land OF any
land owner who will not first agree to
and sign the contract that the tobacco
shall go into and be sold through the
association"

Lancaster.

LANCASTER, PENN, July II, 1906.
During the past week there were
number of small sales in the leaf tobac-
CO market, but as whole the local mar
ket was dull The sampling of last
years goods will not be finished before
September l, so there will be no general
activity in the market before The larg-
est sale reported during the past week
was one of 400 cases by l. FL. Weaver to
a Baltimore firm. The dealers express
the belief that prices will certainly set
tie down somewhere about 25 cents a
pound. One of last weeks sales was at
% cents, and it is believed that by Sep
tember prices will have advanced. The
dealers point out that there are 40 goods
to be had but those of 1905, and whoever
wants them must pay for them.
The cigar industry is dull, due, prob
ably, to over-p production. When the
piled-up stocks are reduced the demand
for goods will, of course, be renewed
The growing crop appears to be doing
we'll, although it is not growing regular
ly. A good deal is rapidly nearing the
topping point, but there is much that
has hardly had decent start yet It is
this tobacco that will get dangerously
near the frost line.-New Era.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The work of hoeing the tobacco crop
goes on without interruption, except
where the farmer has tried to sandwich
it with haying, during the last four days
of last week when the rule has been
good weather. With the abundant hay
crop I am little afraid that the hoeing
has, of the two, been somewhat neglect
ed, but in a number of cases where the
tobacco crop was early, the hoeing was
very we'll done before the haying season
began to show pressing needs, and in
such cases (always) the argument is in
favor of the early setting of the tobacco
crop. Although such a farmer may
have to submit TO some small loss from
harvesting in the very warm weather,
and even if some loss is sustained by
pole sweat, he is sure that neither his
crop of tobacco or hay has suffered from
neglect. Again. if the farm work is so
regulated that no other work will inter
fere with haying. he is sure to put that
crop of hay into the barn in better shape
than he would If he should undertake to
do two kinds of work at the same time.
Ii he is working in the tobacco field in
the morning, he is apt to stay little too
long, and as a consequence he is tardy
about opening the hay left over from the
day before, and it is put into the NOW
little too wet to make irst-class hay

ures. 1t is question whether such
stringency may not, in the end, work to
the detriment of the Wisconsin industry.
1t is more to the lasting advantage of
our state that we have an even, steady
market at remunerative prices than the
1uctuation of single season.

ORFoRDvILLE, WIS, July 19, 1906.

Tobacco plants never had better
start than this year, and some of the
fields are we'll advanced. A few light
rains will be needed during the coming
few weeks to insure a leafy growth.
There have been several buyers through
these parts, but few of the farmers care
to contract crops so far in advance with
the probability of damage and liberal
dockage by the buyers upon delivery.
Farmers have gotten wise on this early
selling idea, and there is nothing to be
gained by contracting for a crop so far
in advance

1t is pleasing to write that the tobacco
crop seldom looked more promising any
season than it does at this date. Gen
eral rains have fallen during the week,
removing all fears of drouth, and the
fine growing weather since has sent the
fields forward amazingly. The crop
everywhere has strong, healthy growth,
while in some fields where topping has
commenced the plants are large and
spready, giving every promise of large,
heavy yield. It is a noticeable thing
this season that the growers are giving
better cultivation to their fields than
usual, indicating that the farmer is try
ing to produce better crop under the
incentive of fancy prices for good tobac-
CO. Evidently they have come to believe
that the best results are obtained only
by careful, painstaking methods, and
neglect anywhere along the line means
reduced profits. The coming few weeks
will be the critical ones for the new crop.
The season for hail and heavy storms is
at hand and it is rare that the growing
sections escape some damage from these
sources altogether. The market is sadly
in need of good crop of Wisconsin leaf
this year and therefore let US hope such
disasters will be few. The present out
look for the crop could scarcely be more
encouraging.

His first experience of life crushed down
with all the weight of the world on Dam

stared straight before him and only an
swered with nod or shake of head the
remarks addressed to him by Luke BARLEY
and the Inspector.
Better leave the lad in peace" said the
kindly giant, who drove. He wants to
think, an no doubt he's got deal to

The prisoners native genius now worked
swiftly with him. and his sole thought
was of escape as dusk gathered on Dart
moor. He puzzled his head in vain to
see the drift of these doings. 1t seemed
that his gun had been found beside the
spot where Adam Thorpe was shot What
human hands could have put 1t there? He
knew of no enemy on earth. Measuring
the chances of establishing an alibi, he
saw that they were small. Search could
prove the fact that he had killed pheasants
on the previous night and it was quite pos
sible for him to have killed a man also.
He might have shot Thorpe at Middlecott
and have spoken to the other keepers at
Westcombe afterward. Indeed. the hours
